Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a dedicated control device that operates independently of a central control device in an automatic exchange, such as a control device dedicated to a hotel function, and a dedicated operation panel, such as a dedicated control device with a hotel function. The present invention relates to a special function control method in which a central control device of an automatic exchange, the control device, and the operation console are provided with an operation console and are combined according to a purpose to realize a specific function.

In the past, control units for special functions such as hotel functions were included in the central control unit and were not provided independently. Therefore, the central control device becomes complex and expensive;
A control device with large processing capacity was required. Furthermore, since the control device is complicated, it is difficult to add or change functions easily. Generally, it is difficult to include a special function control unit (hereinafter referred to as a hotel function control unit) in a central control unit, which can be commonly applied to automatic exchanges ranging from small capacity to large capacity, due to cost issues. In other words, hotel functions include a variety of functions, from basic functions to additional functions, but for example, a hotel function control unit that can be applied to a large-capacity automatic switchboard is expensive in terms of processing power and functionality. It is difficult to apply this to small-capacity automatic switching machines from a cost standpoint. In particular, large-capacity automatic exchanges require many functions and their functional conditions are complex, while small-capacity automatic exchanges have fewer types of functions and their functional conditions are simple. In short, it has been difficult to create a hotel function control unit that can be commonly applied from small capacity to large capacity.

The purpose of the present invention is to realize a special function control method that allows for optimal equipment configuration depending on conditions such as line capacity and traffic of an automatic exchange, type and conditions of hotel functions, and price, in other words, to realize a special function control method that allows for the optimal equipment configuration according to conditions such as the line capacity and traffic of an automatic exchange, the type and conditions of hotel functions, and prices.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a special function control method that is easy to change, can operate from small to large capacity, is inexpensive and operates stably, and can realize new functions.

The special function control system of the present invention has a route in which an operation console having an electric key, a control circuit, an interface circuit, and a display means is directly connected to an interface circuit connected to a central control device of an automatic exchange, and the central control device is It has a connection route via a dedicated control device that independently executes specific processing, and the interface circuit provided on the operation console can be connected to either the central control device or the dedicated control device. It is characterized by

As in the present invention, a central control device of an automatic exchange and a dedicated control device (hereinafter referred to as a hotel control device),
By completely separating and independent from the control panel (hereinafter referred to as hotel control panel), the circuit configuration of the central control device, hotel control device, and hotel control panel is simplified.
Each processing capacity may be small, resulting in an inexpensive system. Furthermore, the circuit configurations of the central control unit, hotel control unit, and hotel operation console have been simplified, making it easy to add or change functions and realize new service functions. Therefore, it is possible to realize an optimal equipment configuration according to conditions such as the line capacity and traffic of the automatic exchange, the type and conditions of hotel functions, and price, and it is possible to achieve versatility and share the hardware.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the hotel function control system, and FIG. 2 is a block circuit diagram of the hotel operation console shown in FIG. In FIG. 1, 1 is the main body of an automatic exchange, 2 is a hotel control device, and 3 is a hotel operation console. At automatic exchange 1, 11
12 is a line circuit, 12 is a communication path switch, 13 is a trunk, 14 is a central control device, and 15 is an interface circuit between the central control device 14, the hotel operation console 3, and the hotel control device 2. Hotel control panel 3
is a control panel for operating hotel functions, and has an electric key for inputting control commands, a lamp/display for various indications, etc. The operation console 3 uses a plurality of operation consoles 31 to 3n having the same function as necessary. Also, hotel control device 2
Reference numerals 21 and 23 are interface circuits, and 22 is a control circuit. This hotel control device 2 controls hotel functions, and when there are conditions that cannot be handled by the hotel operation console 3 alone, that is, when the main body of the automatic switchboard This device is used when conditions exist, such as when the line capacity and traffic of the hotel is large, when there are many types of hotel functions, when the service conditions of the hotel functions are complex, and when multiple hotel operation consoles are required. Leads 4, 5 and 6 between these devices 1, 2 and 3 are signal lines, respectively. FIG. 2 shows the configuration of one of the hotel operation consoles 3n shown in FIG. 1, including a control circuit 3n2 for executing hotel function processing, an electric key 3n4, a lamp 3n6, a display 3n8, and an electric key control circuit. 3n
3. It has a lamp control circuit 3n5, a display control circuit 3n7, and an interface circuit 3n1 for coupling with the interface circuit 15 of the automatic exchange 1 and the interface circuit 23 of the hotel control device 2. Central control device 14 of automatic exchange 1 and control circuit 3n2 of hotel operation console 3n
are directly connected via the interface circuit 15, signal line 4, and interface circuit 3n1. In addition, the hotel control device 2 includes an interface circuit 15 - a signal line 5 - an interface circuit 21
connected via. That is, the central control device 1
4 can be connected to both the hotel control panel 3 and the hotel control device 2 via an interface circuit 15. The control circuit 22 of the hotel control device 2 and the control circuit 3n2 of the hotel operation console 3n are interface circuit 23 - signal line 6 - interface circuit 3n.
1. That is, between the interface circuit 15 and the interface circuit 3n1,
Since the interface conditions between the interface circuit 15 and the interface circuit 21 and between the interface circuit 23 and the interface circuit 3n1 are unified, the hotel operation console 3 is connected to both the central control device 14 of the automatic exchange 1 and the hotel control device 2. Can also be combined with When the line capacity and traffic of the automatic exchange is small, when there are few types of hotel functions, when the service conditions for the hotel function are simple, etc., the hotel function can be realized with only the automatic exchange 1 and the hotel operation console 31. In addition, when the line capacity and traffic of the automatic exchange is large, when there are many types of hotel functions, when the service conditions of the hotel functions are complicated, when multiple hotel operation consoles are required, automatic exchange 1 and hotel control device 2 are connected. A hotel function can be realized by using the hotel operation console 3. That is, desired hotel functions can be realized by combining the automatic switchboard 1, hotel operating console 3, and hotel control device 2 according to the purpose.

As explained above, according to the present invention, the central control device of the automatic exchange, the hotel control device, and the hotel operation console are completely separated and independent, thereby simplifying the circuit configuration of the central control device, the hotel control device, and the hotel operation console. Therefore, each processing capacity can be small, and an inexpensive system can be obtained. Furthermore, by simplifying the circuit configurations of the central control unit, hotel control unit, and hotel operation console, it becomes easier to add or change functions and realize new service functions. Therefore, it is possible to realize a hotel control system that can provide an optimal equipment configuration according to conditions such as the line capacity and traffic of the automatic exchange, the type and conditions of hotel functions, and prices. In short, by configuring as in the present invention, versatility can be enhanced and hardware can be shared.
