Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a local paging system, and more particularly to a local paging system capable of transmitting voice messages and the like to a predetermined slave station.

[Conventional Example] Conventionally, in this local paging system, a predetermined slave station is called by operating a button on a telephone or a dedicated console provided at a master station.

That is, the master station transmits, for example, a signal of a predetermined frequency, to the slave station using a transmitter, based on button operations on a telephone or console. on the other hand.

A slave station equipped with a receiver that receives the signal of the predetermined frequency operates a buzzer or the like based on the signal to notify that there is a call.

In addition, there are similar systems in which a small number of messages can be transmitted to a slave station by a combination of push buttons on a telephone or buttons on a dedicated console.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above-mentioned local paging system, when making a call to a slave station, it is necessary to operate the push button or operation button, which is troublesome. However, there was the inconvenience of having to operate a telephone to contact the caller each time.

Further, in a system that transmits a message or the like using a combination of operation buttons, there is a problem that not only is it cumbersome to operate the buttons for the combination, but it also takes time and effort to set the message or the like to be transmitted. Furthermore, the messages that can be transmitted are short, and there is a problem that sufficient information cannot be conveyed. This invention was made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to transmit the necessary information to a predetermined slave station. An object of the present invention is to provide a local paging system that can easily transmit messages, etc. in the form of voice.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a plurality of distributed master stations connected to a master station center via telephone lines, and has a plurality of distributed master stations connected to a master station center and a plurality of slave stations. In an in-premises paging system that transmits a predetermined signal using weak radio waves to a predetermined sub-station among the predetermined sub-stations, a telephone of the decentralized master station sends a voice signal message, etc. to a predetermined sub-station among the plural sub-stations to the main station center. The voice signal is converted into a digital voice synthesis signal at the master station center and transmitted to the plurality of distributed master stations, and the voice synthesis signal is placed on weak radio waves at the distributed master station and The voice synthesized signal is transmitted to a plurality of slave stations, and a predetermined slave station among the plurality of slave stations displays the voice synthesized signal on a display section provided in the slave station.

[Example] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates distributed master stations located at n locations within the premises, and these distributed master stations 11. ...t in is the master station center 2 and P B

Next, the operation of the local paging system having the above configuration will be explained.

First, in the distributed master station 11, when transmitting a message or the like to the slave station 41, for example, a setting dial is operated on the telephone 1a of the distributed master station 1 to open a telephone line with the master station center 2. Then, the control unit 1b inputs a signal based on the dial proposal to the control unit 2a of the master station center 2 via the PBX 3. Based on the signal, the control unit 2a outputs an input acceptance start sound signal to the distributed master station 11 via the PBX 3. The sender of the message or the like from the distributed master station 11 who receives this signal inputs the registered name of the predetermined slave station 4□ by voice from the telephone 1a. The registered name of the slave station 41 is input to the control unit 2a of the master station center 2, and the voice recognition device recognizes the voice signal of the registered name of the slave station 4□ for each sound. Then, the control unit 2a transmits a message reception start sound to the distributed master station 1□, and converts the voice signal of the registered name into a digital voice synthesis signal and stores it in the storage unit 2b. Subsequently, the communicator sends the message to the master station center 2 through the telephone 1a in the same manner as described above. Then, the master station center 2 recognizes the voice signal of the message, converts it into a voice synthesized signal, and transmits it again to the distributed master station 1. Upon receiving this, the control section of the distributed master station 11 outputs the voice synthesized signal from the telephone 1a.

Then, when the transmitter of the message etc. at the distributed master station l□ confirms the transmitted voice synthesis signal and places the fertilizer, the message etc. of the voice synthesis signal is transmitted to the master station center 2, and the message etc. Messages and the like for the station 4□ are stored in the storage unit 2b of the master station center 2. Subsequently, the control unit 1a of the distributed master station 11 transmits the registration number of the distributed master station 1□ or the telephone number of the telephone to the master station center 2.

These are stored in the storage section 2b of the master station center 2.

After the message etc. to be transmitted to the predetermined slave station 41 is thus stored in the storage unit 2b of the master station center 2 in the form of a voice synthesis signal, the control unit 2a of the master station center 2 first sends an operation start signal. Each distributed master station 1□ in the premises via PBX3,
. . r In, and the above messages and the like are further transmitted all at once or in sequence to the distributed master stations 1□, . . . , 1o. These messages include the registration number of the slave station, the telephone number used to send the message, and the synthesized voice signal of the person transmitting the message. Then, each distributed master station 11.・
....

In will transmit the data signal from the transmitter 1d on a weak radio wave. This weak radio wave is transmitted to each slave station 41. ..., is received by the 4m receiver 4a and input to the control unit 4f. The controller 4a determines whether the received data signal, such as a message, is for the slave station itself. Then, the control section 4f of the corresponding slave station stores the data signal such as the message in the storage section 4d, and transmits an answerback signal on a weak radio wave using the transmitter 4e. This answer-back signal is received by the distributed master station 1□ near the slave station 41, and transmitted from the distributed master station 12 to the master station center 2 via the PBX 3. on the other hand.

On the slave station 41 side, as shown in FIG. 4, based on the data signal such as the message stored in the control section 4f, the telephone number (for example, 2674), the registered name of the slave station (for example, Ishihara), the message (for example, Uchiawa Sega Haji Marimas, 402 Goushitsunite), etc. are displayed. Also,
Child station 4□.

. . , when a speaker device is used as the display at 4 m, the content displayed on the slave station 41 can be obtained as audio.

Here, for example, if the slave station 4□ does not exist within the premises or if there is an abnormality in the receiver 4a of the slave station 41, the slave station 41 will not transmit an answerback signal. That is, each distributed master station 12 within the premises. ... v In, no answerback signal is received, and even though the master station center 2 has transmitted a data signal such as a message from the transmitter, the answerback signal is not received even after a predetermined time has elapsed. If no response is returned, slave station 4. is treated as unreceivable. Then, the master station center 2 transmits the data signal of the voice synthesized signal indicating that the message cannot be transmitted to the distributed master station 11 equipped with the telephone 1a used for transmitting the data signal such as the message.

That is, the control section of the distributed master station that receives the data signal outputs the message in voice through the telephone based on the voice synthesis signal.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the local paging system of the present invention, it is possible to transmit a message to the slave station in the form of voice rather than simply calling the slave station. By simply inputting voice, a sufficient number of messages can be transmitted to a predetermined slave station without the need for troublesome operations such as operating the pushbuttons of a telephone or a dedicated operation console. Furthermore, it is possible to eliminate the need for the called slave station to make a second call each time in order to find out the business.
