Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[Technical Field] The present invention relates to an equipment operation status monitoring and control device that monitors and controls the status of in-house equipment and can operate the in-home equipment indoors using an operation switch, and a push button signal (hereinafter referred to as PB signal) of a telephone. In response to the above, the equipment operation status monitoring and control device monitors and controls the status of the equipment in the home, and also performs voice control.
The present invention relates to an equipment monitoring and control system equipped with a telephone terminal device that makes an emergency call using a voice response unit using an LSI. [Background technology] Telephone lines are used to monitor and control the status of in-house equipment in response to PB signals, for example, to perform telemonitoring and telecontrol. If the PB signal (input) and the corresponding equipment are fixed, it will not be possible to respond to a variety of homes. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the equipment operation status monitoring and control device 2, which is controlled by the telephone terminal device 1 and monitors and controls the equipment, includes an electric lock terminal block 3a, an air conditioner terminal block 3b, a floor heater terminal block 3c, and a gate light terminal. If you install a stand 3d etc. and assign operation numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 to each input and fix the corresponding equipment, for example, if you do not need to monitor or control the air conditioner, operation number 2 will become empty and the usability will be reduced. Furthermore, if there are several devices of the same type (an air conditioner on the first floor, an air conditioner on the second floor, etc.), this cannot be done at all due to restrictions on the terminals. Furthermore, when controlling household devices using PB signals, there is a problem in that it is not possible to distinguish between devices that are undesirable from a safety standpoint, such as unlocking of electric locks. [Object of the Invention] The object of the present invention is to freely assign the names of devices in the home to operation numbers, and to make it impossible to control the devices in the home that are undesirable from a safety standpoint by the telephone terminal device. [Disclosure of the Invention] Embodiments First, the basic circuit of a residential telephone terminal device will be described. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 4 denotes a telephone network control unit, which is connected to the telephone line 5 and has functions such as automatic dialing and automatic receiving. Reference numeral 6 denotes a registration device for setting and storing information such as reporting destinations. 7 is an input/output interface, 8 is a control circuit, and the CPU,
It has ROM, RAM, timer, I/O, etc., and controls the speaker 9, sound collection microphone 10, answering set switch 11, switching relay 12, etc. in addition to the above.
13 is a PB signal detection unit that identifies a PB signal; 14 is a voice response unit that sends voice to the telephone line 5 by the voice LSI. Reference numeral 15 denotes an input/output interface, which is connected to the device operating state monitoring and control device 2, and various sensors 16 and various devices 17 are connected to the device operating state monitoring and controlling device 2. 18 is a telephone. In the residential telephone terminal device as described above, when an emergency input is received from the various sensors 16, the device operation status monitoring control device 2 and the input/output interface 1
5 and is read into the control circuit 8. Control circuit 8
is from the telephone network control unit 4 to the input/output interface 7
It is determined whether dialing is possible via the telephone network controller 4, and if possible, an instruction to close the line and dial is issued to the telephone network control unit 4. When the other party answers through the telephone line 5, the control circuit 8 transmits the message to the voice response section 1.
4, and the message is transmitted to the telephone network control unit 4.
is sent to the telephone line 5 via the telephone line 5. If the person who responds knows the purpose of this device, a PB signal is sent out, and the control circuit 8 decodes it using the PB signal detection section 13, opens the telephone line 5, and stops any further notifications. Also, when it is determined whether dialing is possible or not, there is a call input, and the answering setting switch 1 is activated.
If 1 is pressed, an emergency message will be sent. Even when the emergency input is not input, if the answering set switch 11 is pressed, the same operation will be performed in response to the call input, but if the emergency input is input during this time, the emergency input will also be monitored and the emergency message will be sent. is sent out, and the control circuit 8 determines to stop subsequent notifications. Next, in the case of telemonitor and telecontrol operations, when the answering set switch 11 is pressed, the telephone network control unit 4 detects a call input and transmits it to the control circuit 8 via the input/output interface 7. The control circuit 8 closes the telephone line 5 within the specified time (10 seconds) and issues an answering message through the voice response section 14. PB if the call is from a third party who does not know this device.
Since there is no password in the signal, control circuit 8 releases telephone line 5 due to timeout. Further, even if any input is made, if it does not match the predetermined password, the telephone line 5 is opened in the same manner. After the answering message is sent, when the PIN is entered, a message indicating that telemonitoring and telecontrol are possible is sent as a response, and from then on, combinations of PB numbers assigned to various devices 17, monitor keys, control keys, etc. When input, the response is sent out by voice synthesis. The present invention, in the above-mentioned residential telephone terminal device, allows various devices 17 to be assigned consecutively to operation numbers (telemonitor, PB signal input at the time of telecontrol), and allows devices that are undesirable from a safety standpoint to be assigned. The registration device 6 is equipped with a numeric keypad 19 and a display section 20 as shown in FIG. 3, and the control circuit 8 is equipped with a CPU 21 and a display section 20 as shown in FIG.
Program ROM22, for program execution
RAM23, ROM24 for audio data menu,
A RAM 25 for voice data registration and a ROM 26 for safety registration are provided. The safety registration ROM 24 and the control circuit 8 constitute a safety control means that prevents the telephone terminal from controlling household equipment that is undesirable in terms of safety. As words that are expected to be used in advance, for example, words that express locations such as "entrance", "first floor", "second floor", etc. are set in address 1,
2 and 3, and words representing equipment such as "electric lock,""airconditioner," and "floor heater" are assigned to addresses i, j, and k, respectively. These words are assigned selection menu numbers as follows. It is stored in the audio data menu ROM 24, and further,
The selection menu number of the "electric lock" is registered in advance in the safety registration ROM 26 as a device that is undesirable for safety.
