Abstract

PURPOSE:To set station data even by a person in charge of maintenance who does not have technical knowledge by translating automatically station data written in an exclusiveuse paper and converting them to the form which can be stored to a data base in a means to store the station data to the data base of a electronic private branch exchange. CONSTITUTION:In an electronic Private Automatic Branch Exchange PABX1, a CPU 12 reads station data based upon the customer request from a data base 11 for the station data, operates a program stored beforehand and executes the connecting exchange control. In the data base 11, the number data related to an extension telephone set 3 outgoing incoming connecting regulating data, tenant data and the data related to respective types of the service function are included. The person in change of maintenance hears the operating mode of a PABX1 from a customer, writes this in the mark sheet or the exclusiveuse paper in which the writing format is determined, and inputs it to a reader 22 connected to a key input device 21. The data are analyzed and processed by a translating processing device 23, converted to the form which the CPU 12 of the PABX1 can be processed and registered through the CPU 12 to the data base 11.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to station data input means for registering station data in a private electronic branch exchange.

[Summary] A method for storing station data in the database of private electronic branch exchanges. By automatically translating station data written on special paper and converting it into a format that can be stored in the database, even maintenance personnel without specialized knowledge can easily operate the station. This allows you to set data.

[Conventional technology]

The configuration of a conventional device is shown in FIG.

Conventionally, when inputting station data into an electronic automatic private branch exchange (l), customer requests are summarized on a special entry form, and maintenance personnel analyze the contents while inputting them into the key human power unit (21) of the maintenance terminal (2). This was generally done by a predetermined operation.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In such conventional methods, the customer's requirements for the operation mode of the electronic automatic private branch exchange system are first filled out on a special form, and then analyzed one by one and inputted manually. This method has the disadvantage that it takes a lot of effort and time to start operating the device. Additionally, highly specialized knowledge and skills are required to translate customer requests into the central office data format within the electronic automatic private branch exchange.

The present invention solves these drawbacks and provides a private electronic switching system that allows even a maintenance person without specialized knowledge and skills to easily set station data to the operation mode desired by the customer. With the goal.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention provides a private electronic switching system comprising an electronic exchange including a storage means for storing station data, and a maintenance terminal for inputting the station data into the storage means, wherein the maintenance terminal inputs information on a special form. a reading means for converting characters or symbols related to the station data stored into a first electric signal, and a translation means for translating the first electric signal into a second electric signal in a format suitable for storage in the storage means. It is characterized by

[Effect]

In an electronic automatic private branch exchange system, station data necessary for operation is input from a maintenance terminal, and this station data is registered in a storage device.The central control unit then uses pre-stored programs and station data to Connection exchange control is performed.

The customer's desired operation mode for the electronic automatic private branch exchange is entered on the input sheet (or card) of the electronic automatic data reader.

The electronic automatic data reading device (OCR, card reader, etc.) of the maintenance terminal reads the mark sheet or special form on which the station data is written. This read data is translated by a translation processing device into station data that can be registered in the storage device of the electronic automatic private branch exchange. This translated station data is stored in the storage device.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. Further, FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing the flow of control in the system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

This embodiment system includes an electronic automatic private branch exchange (hereinafter referred to as PABX) which includes a database 11, a central control unit (hereinafter referred to as CPU) 12, a key human power device 21, and an electronic automatic data exchange system (hereinafter referred to as PABX). The maintenance terminal 2 includes a reading device (hereinafter referred to as a reader) 22 and a translation processing device 23.

Next, the operation of this embodiment system will be explained based on FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the PABX 1, the CPU 12 reads station data based on customer requests from the station data database 11,
Connection exchange control is performed by operating a pre-stored program. The database 11 includes number data related to the extension telephone 3, outgoing/incoming connection regulation data, tenant data, and data related to various service functions.

As shown in FIG. 2, a maintenance person listens to the customer's information about the operation mode of PABXl, and writes this information on a mark sheet or a special form with a predetermined entry format. This entry format does not require specialized skills or knowledge. This special paper or mark sheet is connected to the key human power device 21 or
The data is input to the file 22 without being rewritten. This data is once sent to the translation processing device 23. The translation processing device 23 analyzes and processes the data from the reader 22, and converts it into a format that can be processed by the PABXI CPU 12. This translation processing device 23 includes an artificial intelligence element. The data converted by the translation processing device 23 is sent to the CPU
12 and is registered in the database 11.

Although the translation processing device 23 is built into the maintenance terminal 2 in FIGS. 1 and 2, it can also be built into the PABX 1 and connected to the CPU 12 for processing.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention allows a maintenance person to fill in the operation mode requested by the customer on a prescribed entry form or mark sheet, and then print it out electronically without having any specialized knowledge or skills regarding electronic automatic private branch exchange equipment. By simply reading the data using an automatic data reading device, it is possible to automatically create a station database for an electronic automatic private branch exchange device in an extremely short time and efficiently.
