Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a subscriber to take information guide whose hard copy can be obtained if he wants, by detecting an information hard copy output request from a subscriber's facsimile terminal equipment by a talkie guide device to switch the telephone line side to a facsimile output device. CONSTITUTION:When a subscriber of a subscriber's facsimile terminal equipment (FXE) 10 dials a special number for talkie service, the output voice of talkie guide from a talkie device (TKE) 302 is sent to the FXE 10 through a switch SW 301 and a telephone exchange (EX) 2. If the subscriber of the FEX 10 depresses a push button in the FXE 10 for the purpose of obtain a hard copy of contents of this guide before this output voice is terminated, a talkie guide device (TKY) 30 switches the SW 301 and takes out facsimile picture information corresponding to the output voice of the talkie guide from a file memory or the like and transmits it to the FXE 10 through the TKY 30 and the EX 2. Consequently, the hard copy of contents of the heard guide is obtained in the FXE 10.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a talkie guide system, and in particular, to a system that enables a subscriber to obtain a hard copy of a talkie guide upon request from a subscriber's facsimile terminal device. Regarding the talkie guidance system.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of talkie guidance system merely provides talkie guidance to the requester by voice using an audio tape or the like. There is also an information guidance method using Videotex, etc., but this method requires a special terminal,
The center equipment was also large-scale.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the conventional information guidance service systems mentioned above, the talkie guidance system uses only audio and does not have a hard copy of the guidance content, and the videotex service system only allows you to visually see the image information and cannot obtain a hard copy. However, it also has the disadvantage of requiring special equipment.

[Means for solving problems]

The talkie guide system of the present invention comprises a telephone exchange equipped with a talkie guide, a facsimile output device connected to the talkie guide, and a subscriber facsimile terminal housed in the telephone exchange, Said talkie
The guidance device includes a request detecting means for detecting a request for outputting a hard copy of information from the subscriber facsimile terminal device via a telephone line, and a talkie device for outputting guidance information by voice.
and switching means for switching the telephone line side to the facsimile output device based on the detection result of the request detection means.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a system block diagram showing an embodiment of the talkie guide system of the present invention.

The system of this embodiment has a plurality of subscriber facsimile terminals (hereinafter referred to as FXE) 10. ~1n is accommodated, and EX2
There are multiple talkie guide devices (TKY)30. ~3
1 through a general facsimile output device (FXS
) 4 are connected. Each TKY (e.g. TKY30)
includes a PB reception detector (hereinafter referred to simply as PB) 300 that detects a PB signal for a hard copy output request sent from FXEIO, ~1n via EX2, and a general talkie device that outputs a guidance talkie as voice. (hereinafter referred to as TKE) 302 and an interface circuit (hereinafter referred to as TKE) that interfaces with FXS4 (
It is equipped with a switching circuit (hereinafter referred to as 5W) 301 that switches and connects the line from EX2, which is normally connected to the TKE 302 side, to the INF 30B side when the PB 300 detects the PB signal. There is.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

For example, if an FXE 10 subscriber dials a special number for talkie service, then, as is commonly known,
XE 10 is connected to either TKY 30, - 31 (for example, TKY 30) via EX2, and the output audio of the talk key guidance from TKE 302 is sent to FXEIO via 5W3.
01 (solid line).

Sent via EX2. If a subscriber of FXE 10 wants to obtain a hard copy of the contents of this guide before he finishes listening to the output audio, he presses the button in FXElo, and the PB signal for requesting hard copy output is sent to E.
It is sent to TKY30 via X2. In TKY30, PB300 receives and detects this PB signal, drives 5W301, and switches as shown by the broken line, so FXEIO is connected to FXS4 via EX2, 5W301 (broken line), and lNF303. When the FXS4 detects that the output request is from TKY30, it pulls out the facsimile image information corresponding to the output voice of the talkie guidance from the file memory etc. and sends it to TKY30. FXE via EX2
Send to lo.

Therefore, with FXEIO, you can obtain a hard copy of the information given by sound.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention has the advantage that a subscriber who has an ordinary subscriber facsimile terminal device can receive information guidance in hard copy by sending a request signal when necessary, and can receive information guidance in a video format. Since it does not require expensive equipment such as TEX equipment, it has the effect of making it easy to receive services.
