Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize a disaster supervisory system not requiring the installation of a special receiver by sending a message to a corresponding communication destination through a public telephone line by synthesized voice if various events such as fire, gas leakage, fill of carbon oxide and illegal burglar takes place. CONSTITUTION:For example, in case of the operation of a gas leakage detector, a telephone number of a gas supply company is called from a RAM 5 or a ROM 6, an automatic dialer 8 is controlled and a telephone call is given to the corresponding gas company to inform the event of gas leakage to the relevant gas company in synthesized voice together with its address and name or the like. Farther, if a smoke sensor is operated, a telephone number of fire station is called from the RAM 5 or ROM 6 and the automatic dialer 8 is controlled to make a phone cale to the relevant fire station and after the line is connected, a voice synthesizer 7 is driven and the occurrence of fire breakout, address and name are informed in synthesized voice.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of invention) This invention can prevent fires, gas leaks, and carbon monoxide filling.

The present invention relates to an automatic telephone device that is capable of automatically contacting a corresponding contact by telephone using synthesized voice when various events such as trespassing occur.

(Summary of the Invention) The present invention provides an event occurrence detection means for detecting the occurrence of various events such as fire, gas leak, carbon monoxide filling, illegal entry, etc., and stores each event in association with corresponding contact information. In response to the detection of the occurrence of any event, a telephone call is made to the corresponding contact information obtained by referring to the memory means, and after waiting for the telephone call to be completed, the accident is detected. Information on the place where the incident occurred, such as the address, is transmitted using synthesized speech.

(Prior art and its problems) Traditionally, security insurance companies, etc. have automatically detected the occurrence of various events such as fire, gas leak, carbon monoxide, illegal entry, etc. A system has been adopted in which reports are sent to a contact center.

However, in such a system, it is necessary to install a dedicated line in order to constantly monitor the occurrence of these events online, and the communication method of the occurrence of the event is also provided by digital information, so it is difficult for the receiving side to respond. It was necessary to install dedicated receiving equipment to do so.

(Objective of the invention) The object of the invention is to provide an automatic telephone device suitable for use as a disaster front-line system, etc., which does not require the installation of a dedicated line and also does not require the installation of special receiving equipment on the receiving side. It's about doing.

(Structure and effects of the invention) This invention fires to achieve the above objectives.

An event occurrence detection means for detecting the occurrence of events such as gas trapping, carbon monoxide filling, illegal entry, etc., a storage means for storing each occurrence event in association with corresponding contact information, a telephone calling means for making a telephone call to the corresponding contact information obtained by referring to the storage means in response to the telephone call; The device is characterized by comprising: a voice transmitting means for transmitting sound;

According to this configuration, when various events such as fire, gas leak, carbon monoxide filling, illegal trespassing, etc. occur, a message to that effect is sent to the corresponding contact via a public telephone line using synthesized voice. Reportedly.

Therefore, not only is it unnecessary to install a dedicated communication line, but also the occurrence of an event can be confirmed directly by human ears on the receiving side, so the receiving side is equipped with dedicated data reception demodulation equipment, etc. This is not necessary and will contribute to the widespread use of this type of system.

(Description of Embodiments) FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the system configuration of an automatic telephone device to which the present invention is applied.

As shown in the figure, in this automatic telephone device,
A plurality of detectors 1, 1, . . . are provided to detect the occurrence of various events such as fire, gas leak, carbon monoxide filling, and illegal intrusion.

These signals from the detector 1 are transmitted to the main body 2 of the device, which is equipped with an automatic dialer function and a voice synthesis function, and is connected to a public line via a public line interface 3.

Then, the contact information corresponding to each occurrence event 1, for example, the fire department,
The necessary message is conveyed to hospitals, police, etc.

Additionally, in addition to fire detectors, gas leak detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, trespass detectors, etc., the detector 1 also includes push button switches for emergency communication in elderly homes, etc. .

Next, FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the electrical hardware configuration of the apparatus of the present invention. Components that are the same as those in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals and their description will be omitted.

As shown in the figure, the control center of this device is the CP
tJ4. RAM5. It is mainly composed of a microcomputer having a ROM 6, and by controlling a voice synthesizer 7 and an auto dialer 8, various functions necessary for the present invention are implemented.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the configuration of a program necessary for controlling the device of the present invention.
The operation of the device of the present invention will be systematically explained with reference to the following.

When the program is started, the CPU 4 waits for the detection operation of any one of the detectors based on the signals sent from each detector 1 (No in step 301).

In this state, when any detector operates, a processing operation corresponding to this detector is started.

For example, if a gas leak detector is activated (step 30
2) Call up the telephone number of the gas company from the RAM 5 or ROM 6 and control the autodialer 8 to make a telephone call to the gas company (step 303);
After waiting for the line to be connected (Stella 1304M standard), the system informs the gas company that there is a gas leak and the address and two names using synthesized voice (step 305).

Also, if the smoke detector is activated (step 306)
Similarly, the phone number of the fire department is called from the RAM 5 or ROM 6, and the auto dialer 8 is controlled to make a phone call to the fire department (step 307).
After waiting for the line to be connected (step 308), the voice synthesizer 7 is activated, and the synthesized voice conveys the fact that a fire has occurred and the address, name, etc.

In addition, the fire department and police will take similar action in cases of carbon monoxide flooding, illegal trespassing, etc.

Therefore, according to such an automatic telephone device, since public lines can be used, there is no need to install a dedicated line, and costs can be reduced accordingly.In addition, it is possible to communicate events occurring and occurrences to the other party using synthesized voice. In order to communicate the location, there is no need to install special data analysis or recognition equipment on the receiving side, and conventional telephone equipment can be used as is.
