DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an exchange system, and more particularly to an exchange system for an exchange to which a multi-function telephone can be connected.

Prior Art Conventionally, in the exchange system of this scale, the control of the multi-functions of the multi-function telephone is performed by the control device inside the exchange, so the button press information of the multi-function telephone is only stored in the control device inside the exchange. The display of multi-function telephones was controlled by a control device within the exchange.

In such conventional exchange systems, the buttons and displays on multi-function telephones are controlled by internal processing between the exchanges. The disadvantage is that it cannot be used to display the status of

Purpose of the Invention The present invention was made to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional ones, and utilizes the buttons and displays of a multi-function telephone to control various electronic IA devices and display the status of various electronic devices. The purpose is to provide a switching system that can

2. Constitution of the present invention The switching system according to the present invention is composed of a multi-function telephone having a display function and an A-function control button, an information processing device, and an exchange for controlling the multi-function telephone and the information processing device. The switching system is characterized in that the information processing device is controlled in response to a signal from the multifunction telephone, and status information from the information processing device is displayed by the display function. .

Embodiment Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, one embodiment of the present invention is comprised of a multifunction telephone 1, an exchange 2, and an information processing device connection module 7.

The multifunction telephone 1 includes a transmitting/receiving circuit 11 for transmitting and receiving voice and user data, a display circuit 12, a button circuit 13,
It is constituted by an interface circuit 14 for connection to exchange n2.

The exchange 2 includes a line circuit section 3 for connection to the multifunction telephone 111, a replacement switch section 4, an interface section 5 for connection to the information processing device connection module 7,
The control unit 6 includes a control unit 6.

The line circuit section 3 includes an interface circuit 31 for connecting to the multifunction telephone 1, a transmitting/receiving circuit 32 for transmitting and receiving information from the transmitting/receiving circuit 11 to and from the exchange switch section 4, and exchanging information for the display circuit 12 and button circuit 13. switch section 4
and a transmitting/receiving circuit 33 that transmits and receives data to and from the control unit 6, and a switching circuit 3 that switches between the transmitting/receiving circuit 32 and the transmitting/receiving circuit 33 according to instructions from the control unit 6 and connects to the replacement switch unit 4.
4, and the interface unit 5 transfers information from the exchange switch unit 4 to the information processing device connection module 7.
An interface circuit 51 is provided for interfacing with the .

The information processing device connection module 7 includes an interface circuit 71 for interfacing information with the exchange 2, and an input/output port door 2 for the information processing device (not shown).

Next, the operation of one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

When connecting to an information processing device by inputting buttons on the multifunction telephone 1, first connect the information processing device connection module 7.
This is done after calling . The button and press information output from the button circuit 13 is sent to the interface circuit 14.31.
The button press information is input to the transmitting/receiving circuit 33 via the transmitting/receiving circuit 33, which recognizes this button press information as transmission information and transmits it to the control section 6.

Based on this button press information, the control unit 6 recognizes that this call is not a normal call, but a special call to the information processing device and the connection module 7.

As a result, the control unit 6 instructs the switching circuit 34 to switch from the normal transmitting/receiving circuit 32 to the transmitting/receiving circuit 33 and connect the transmitting/receiving circuit 33 to the replacement switch unit 4, and at the same time, Switching circuit 34 for 4
An instruction is issued to connect the interface circuit 51 and the interface circuit 51.

Under the control of the control unit 6, the button press information output from the button circuit 13 is transmitted from the interface circuit 14→interface circuit 31→transmission/reception circuit 33→switching circuit 34→
The information is transmitted through the replacement switch unit 4 → interface circuit 51 → interface circuit 71 → input/output port 72, and is output from the input/output port door 2 to the information processing device.

Further, display information indicating the status of the information processing device is input from the input/output port door 2, transmitted through the above-mentioned route in the reverse order, output from the interface circuit 14 to the display circuit 12, and displayed on the display circuit 12. Ru.

When disconnecting the information processing device and restoring normal operation, a specific button of the button circuit 13 is used as a recovery button, and this recovery button is pressed while the above-mentioned button press information is being communicated. In this case, this restoration button press information is transmitted through the path of button circuit 13→interface circuit 14→interface circuit 31→transmission/reception circuit 33→control unit 6. Based on this information, the control unit 6 performs a recovery operation, instructs the switching circuit 34 to switch to the normal transmitting/receiving circuit 32, and at the same time, switches the switching circuit 34 and the interface circuit 51 to the replacement switch unit 4. issue an instruction to disconnect the connection.

An information processing device (various electronic devices) is connected to the information processing device connection module 7, and the multifunction telephone 1 is connected.

If commands for button press information and display information are set in advance with the information processing device in accordance with the operations of the information processing device, the information processing device can be controlled and information processed by button operations on the multifunction telephone 1. l! l! It becomes possible to display the status of the device. For example, if a building's lighting, air conditioning, key locks, etc. are managed using electronic devices,
By operating the buttons on the multi-function telephone R1, it is possible to display the presence or absence of lighting in a particular room and the room temperature, and also to set the room temperature and lock the room. Furthermore, it can also be used to determine the usage status of conference rooms, etc., and to set reservations.

This is not limited to the above example, as it can be used not only for building management but also for inventory management, etc.

In this way, in response to button input signals from the multifunction telephone 1, various electronic devices are connected to the multifunction telephone 1, and the various electronic devices are controlled and status displayed. This allows the buttons and displays on the multifunction telephone 1 to be used to control and display the status of various electronic devices.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, various electronic devices and the multi-function telephone are connected in response to button input signals of the multi-function telephone, and the button input signals are used to control and display the status of the various electronic devices. This has the advantage that the buttons and displays of the multi-function telephone can be used to control and display the status of various electronic devices.
