Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an on-vehicle telephone device in which a vehicle is equipped with a telephone device, and dial input to the telephone device is performed using a dial key provided on a steering operation board near the steering wheel.

In a vehicle, the steering wheel is the closest to the driver, and it is also closest to the driver's hands, so in order to improve operability, it is necessary to install an operation board equipped with key switches for controlling the on-board equipment.
It is preferable to install it in the center of the steering wheel.

However, because the steering mechanism that transmits wheel rotation to the steering shaft is complex,
It is difficult to wire the signal cable that connects the operation board installed in the center of the steering wheel (steering operation board) and the fixed control unit. It is necessary to arrange the slip rings for the steering mechanism in a manner that does not interfere with the operation of the steering mechanism, and wiring these is quite difficult because the space allotted to the steering mechanism is limited.

Therefore, the applicant proposed a method (Japanese Patent Application No. 132926/1982) in which the operating board and the fixed control unit are connected using a slip ring and a brush, and power and signals are transmitted through the line. Proposed. According to this, the power supplied to the operation board and the large amount of information generated from the operation board can be transmitted without using many lines.

By the way, when a telephone device is installed on a vehicle, the telephone is generally placed in the center between the driver's seat and the passenger seat so that the person in the passenger seat or the rear seat can also use the telephone. However, when a driver attempts to dial a telephone, he or she must hold the receiver with one hand and dial with the other hand, making it impossible to dial while driving the vehicle. Therefore, the present applicant proposed a steering operation board dial signal transmission system (Japanese Patent Application No. 188723/1982) in which a dial key is provided on the steering operation board near the steering wheel to facilitate dial operations by the driver. However, even when using this, while driving the vehicle,
It is necessary to manually operate the dials, and it is easy to operate the dials incorrectly. If you make a mistake in dialing the telephone, it will make the other party feel lost, so it is preferable to dial the dial while the vehicle is stopped.

The first object of the present invention is to provide an on-board telephone device that allows a driver to operate dials safely and without error while driving a vehicle, and to provide an on-board telephone device that allows the driver to check the details of dial operations. The second object is to provide an on-board telephone device that allows you to talk without having to hold the handset.

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, a dial key is arranged on the operation board on the steering wheel, and a dial code corresponding to the key operation is applied to the telephone device, and data corresponding to the dial code is applied. In other words, it includes a destination data storage means for storing destination data, and a voice synthesizing means, and outputs the destination data as voice in accordance with the dial code. That is, for example, if voice data of the name of the other party is registered in advance in the other party's data storage means, the name of the other party will be outputted as a voice by performing a dial operation. According to this, you can hear the person you are about to call, so when you use the dial keys,
The driver does not need to visually confirm which key to operate. Therefore, the driver can safely dial the telephone device while driving the vehicle without making a mistake.

When the driver dials the in-vehicle telephone, the driver does so by groping, and therefore often uses speed dialing, which requires fewer keystrokes. Therefore, in one preferred embodiment of the present invention, destination data registration and voice output are performed for speed dialing.

The destination data varies depending on the user, and a huge amount of memory is required to store in advance the destination data that satisfies all the user's requests in the destination data storage means. Furthermore, when audio data is provided for each character, the connections between characters in the output audio become unnatural, making it difficult to hear the audio. Therefore, in one aspect of the present invention, the destination data storage means is a non-volatile read/write memory, and an acoustic-to-electric conversion means such as a microphone is provided so that the user's voice can be inputted as data into the destination data storage means. Make it.

Since the difference in the sound applied to the two is amplified by the DFA,
A large output signal can be obtained for sound coming from the direction in which MC1 and MC2 are arranged, that is, from the direction of the driver. In other words, noise from the side is canceled out, and only the signal corresponding to the driver's voice is greatly amplified.
It is applied to the FM modulation circuit 95.

Referring to FIG. 3a, the FSK modulation circuit 100 (1
50) will be explained briefly. A constant period (T/4) pulse signal is applied to the input end of the FSK modulation circuit 100 from the output port P10 of the microcomputer 80. Counter CO1 divides this pulse and outputs a pulse with period T to output terminal Q2.
A pulse signal with a period of 2T is generated at the output terminal Q3.
The pulse signal with a period of 2T is also applied to an FSK demodulation circuit 110, which will be described later. microcomputer 8
The output port P11 of 0 is the output end of the data to be transmitted. Flip-flop F1 outputs a level corresponding to the data from port P11 in synchronization with the rise of a pulse signal with a period of 2T applied to the clock input terminal CLK (data "1" is a high level H, data "0" is a low level). L) is set to the output terminal Q. Therefore, when the data is "1", the output terminal Q of F1 becomes H, and the output terminal Q2 of CO1 is passed through the NAND gate NA1 to the output terminal of the NAND gate NA3.
When a pulse signal with T period appears from Q3 of CO1 and the data is "0", the output terminal Q of F1 becomes L, and a pulse signal with period T of 2T from Q3 of CO1 is sent to the output terminal of NAND gate NA3 via NAND gate NA2. appears. The output port P12 of the microcomputer 80 outputs a signal that controls permission/inhibition of output of the FSK signal to the transmission path. Port P1
When 2 is high level H, CO1 output period 2T

At the rise and fall of the pulse signal,
Pulsed signals of positive and negative polarity are generated.
When port P12 is at low level L, Q of F2 becomes L, gates NA4 and NA5 close,
A low level L and a high level H are applied to transistors Q1 and Q2, respectively. In this state, transistors Q1 and Q2 are both turned off and do not output a signal to slip ring SA1.

Figure 5a shows the FSK of Figures 3a and 4a.
The approximate timing of the frequency discrimination circuit is shown. Fifth
The operation of this circuit will be explained with reference to FIG.
A 1/4T cycle clock pulse from the microcomputer port P10 is always applied to the flip-flop F11 and the clock input terminal CK of the counter CO3. The external FSK signal is
It is applied to the J input terminal of F11, the clock input terminal of flip-flop F12, etc. In this embodiment, the FSK signal is set so that the period is T when the data is "1" (high level H) and the period is 2T when the data is "0" (low level L). In the initial state, counter CO3 is reset. When the FSK signal arrives and the J input terminal of F11 becomes high level, the Q output terminal of F11 is set to H and the output terminal of F11 is set to L in synchronization with the clock (T/4). This allows the counter CO3,
The reset is released, and counter CO3 starts counting the clock (T/4). When the FSK signal has T period, counter CO3 is 0, 1, 2,
When the count reaches 3, the FSK signal becomes H,
Counter CO3 is reset again. At the same time, the flip-flop F12 sets the level of the input terminal D, that is, H, to the output terminal Q.
A high level H corresponding to data "1" is outputted to the output terminal of F12 as a demodulated output signal.
When the FSK signal has a 2T period, counter CO3 counts 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and at count 5, NAND gate NA19 and inverter IN
22, a reset signal is applied to flip-flop F11. F11 is thereby reset, and the output terminal Q is set to L and the output terminal is set to H. This resets the counter CO3. Then, when the FSK signal becomes high level H, the flip-flop F12 sets the output level L of F11 to the output terminal Q, that is, the demodulation output terminal. Therefore, when a predetermined FSK signal is applied, this circuit demodulates the signal and outputs data.

However, if noise similar to the T-period FSK signal is applied to the frequency discrimination circuit, the Q of flip-flop F5 is set to H in response to the noise, and a high level H is output as a demodulated output signal. If no signal or noise is applied after that, the Q output terminal of the flip-flop F12 remains set at high level H. If this state continues for a predetermined time or more, the microcomputer 80 connected to the demodulation circuit (or 13
0) determines that data has arrived and mistakenly starts reading the data. In this example,
To prevent this, a reference signal generation circuit and an external input priority circuit are provided.

FIG. 5b shows the operation timing of the reference signal generation circuit. This will be explained with reference to FIG. 5b. Port P

A pulse signal with a period of 2T whose frequency is divided by 8 by the counter CO1 of 50) is applied to the J input terminal of F9, etc. Flip-flops F9, F10, etc. operate as a differentiating circuit, and the output terminal of inverter IN19 has a pulse width (period of high level H) of T/4 and a period of
A 2T reference signal is obtained. Since this reference signal has a period of 2T, when it is applied to the frequency discrimination circuit, the frequency discrimination circuit discriminates this signal as data "0" and sets the demodulated output signal to a low level L.

FIG. 5c shows the operation timing of the external input priority circuit. This will be explained with reference to FIG. 5c. The FSK signal from the waveform shaping/differentiation circuit (signal output from NA7) is applied to inverter IN10 and NAND gate NA8. The output signal of the inverter IN10 is applied to the flip-flops F7, F8 and the NAND gate NA13.
The output signal from NA8 is applied to the reset input R of counter CO2. At the clock input terminal CK of counter CO2 and flip-flop F7,
A clock pulse of T/4 period is applied.

When the FSK signal is applied to the external input priority circuit and the input terminal of inverter IN10 becomes low level L,
In synchronization with the T/4 period clock pulse, output terminals Q and of flip-flop F7 are set to H and L, respectively. The signals from the output terminals Q and F7 are respectively connected to the NAND gate NA1.
4 and NA15. nand gate
NA14, NA15, and NA16 are circuits for selecting signals, and depending on the state of the output terminal Q of the flip-flop F7, the FSK signal or the reference signal from the reference signal generation circuit is selectively selected.
It is applied to the frequency discrimination circuit described above. When the Q of flip-flop F7 is set to H, the FSK signal from inverter IN17 is applied to the frequency discrimination circuit. Furthermore, when the output terminal of F7 is set to L, the reset of counter CO2 is canceled,
CO2 starts the clock counting.

When the period of the FSK signal is T, the counter CO2 counts 0, 1, 2, 3, and then the next

It counts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and is reset. That is, when there is an FSK signal, no matter whether the period of the FSK signal is T or 2T, the reset signal H is not applied to the reset input terminal R of flip-flop F7, so F7 output terminals Q and 2T respectively. Hold in L state.
Also, in this state, a high level H is output to the output terminal Q of the flip-flop F8 at a predetermined timing, so that the FSK input to the inverter IN10 is
The signal is NAND gate NA13 and inverter IN

Since one input terminal of the NA 15 is at a low level L, the reference signal from the reference signal generation circuit is not output from the NA 15.

The count value of 2 is 9, that is, from the start of counting
After 3T, the flip-flop F is connected via NAND gate NA9 and inverter IN16.
A high level (reset level) H is applied to the reset input terminal R of F7, and F7 is reset. As a result, output terminals Q and Q of flip-flop F7 are inverted to L and H, respectively. When F7 becomes H, a reset signal is applied to counter CO2. This reset signal continues until the next low level L is applied to inverter IN10, causing F7 to be set to L again. When the levels of output terminals Q and of flip-flop F7 are inverted, NAND gate NA14 closes and instead
NA15 is opened and the reference signal from inverter IN19 is applied to the frequency discrimination circuit via NAND gate NA16.

FIG. 6 shows a schematic signal waveform of the entire device.
Referring to FIG. 6, a case will be described in which signals are sent from the steering operation board shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b to the devices shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b. As mentioned above, while outputting a high level H to the output port P12 of the microcomputer 80 and outputting a T/4 cycle clock pulse to P10, the level H or L is set depending on the data to be transmitted to the output port P11. Then, a pulse signal with a period of T or 2T depending on the level, that is, an FSK signal, is generated at the output terminal of the inverter IN5, etc., and as a result, when the FSK signal rises and falls, the transmission line including the slip ring SA1 Signals of positive and negative polarity are generated.

On the other hand, when audio is input to the microphones MC1 and MC2, the audio signal is amplified by the differential amplifier DFA, and then passed through the high-pass filter HPF and low-pass filter.

At the output end of the FM modulation circuit 95, a relatively small amplitude sine wave signal frequency-modulated with the audio signal appears, and this signal is applied to the transmission path including the slip ring SA1 via a capacitor.

Therefore, a signal in which the FSK signal and the sinusoidal FM signal modulated by the audio signal are superimposed appears on the transmission path. This signal is a slip-spring
It is applied to the device on the vehicle body via SA2.

The FSK demodulation circuit 160 extracts only the positive polarity pulse and negative polarity pulse components from the signal in binary form using the Schmitt trigger ST1 and converts it into an FSK signal.
The signal is demodulated into data "1" or "0", and the data is applied to the input port P13 of the microcomputer 130.

On the other hand, the signal from the transmission line is transmitted to the FM demodulation circuit 170.
is applied to The FM demodulation circuit 170 uses a ceramic filter CFT to extract only the FM modulation signal and applies it to the FM demodulation integrated circuit FMD. The FMD demodulates the original audio signal from the FM modulated wave and applies the audio signal to the amplifier AM1.

FIG. 7 shows microcomputers 80 and 13 in FSK modulation circuits 100 and 150 of the embodiment.

It is written in BCC code of bit. In the 8-bit data, bits 0 to 4 indicate the type of key, and bit 5 indicates key on/off (“1” indicates on/off,
Bits 6 and 7 indicate the key group. In this embodiment, the key groups are divided into three groups: A, indicated by "00", B, indicated by "01", and C, indicated by "10". Referring to Figure 2b, key group A is numeric keys (0-9), #, *, clear key CLR and hold key HOLD, key group B is horn keys HS1 and HS2, and key group B is horn keys HS1 and HS2. C is the light key WRT and the call/off key CALL/OFF.

FIG. 8 schematically shows the operation of the device when making a call from the on-board telephone from the steering operation board, the operation of the device when making a reception operation, and the operation of registering speed dial and voice data of the other party. This will be explained with reference to FIG.

Making a call Enter the telephone number of the other party using the numeric keys, * and # on the steering wheel operation board. The microcomputer now stores the keyed-in telephone number. When any of the numerical keys 0 to 9 is operated during each key input, the microcomputer 130 instructs the voice synthesis board VG1 to output voice, and the speaker SP outputs the voice.
Depending on the operated key, a voice corresponding to each numerical value, such as "4", "3", etc., is output. Also, if you have performed the "registration" operation in advance,
When the dial key input is completed, the name of the other party corresponding to the input dial key is announced by voice.

Wait for the call-off key CALL/OFF to be pressed.

When the call-off key CALL/OFF is operated,
Automatically call the recipient of the memorized phone number.

When the called party picks up the receiver (off-hook), hands-free communication becomes possible. If you operate the hold key HOLD at this point, relay R5 will operate and the microphone MC1 and
MC2 is cut off from the mobile TRX and audio is no longer transmitted from the vehicle.

When the call-off key CALL/OFF is operated again, it is determined that the call has ended and the communication is terminated.

Receiving operation When the other party calls the on-board telephone, a ring tone sounds.

Waits for the call-off key CALL/OFF to be operated.

When the call-off key CALL/OFF is operated,
The state is the same as when the handset is lifted normally, and the other party's voice is output from speaker SP, and microphone MC1 and microphone on the steering control board are output.
MC2 is connected to the on-board telephone as a transmitter.

When the call-off key CALL/OFF is operated again, it is determined that the call has ended and the communication is terminated.

Registration operation Phase 1 Wait for light key WRT to be operated.

Enter the phone number of the person you want to register using the numeric keys.

A buzzer sounds for confirmation.

Phase 2 Enter the speed dial value to be preset. At this time, each time a key is input, the numerical value associated with the key is output as voice.

Wait for light key WRT to be operated.

phase 3 A buzzer will sound for confirmation.

Microphone MC on the steering control board

Load data indicating the on/off status of the

S28 From the key code and the data loaded in step S27, a new key code is generated by reversing the on/off state of the light key WRT or call-off key CALL/OFF. For example, if the call-off key was turned on in the previous operation, key code data indicating that the call-off key is turned off is generated in the current key operation.

S29 Similar to step 24, S30 checks whether the data was sent correctly in the data transmission of step S29.

S110 Check whether an FSK signal has arrived from the other party (receiving side). As explained later, if the receiving side receives acknowledgment ACK1 from the transmitting side after outputting acknowledgment ACK0, it will stop outputting the FSK signal, but if it does not receive ACK1, it will output the FSK signal including ACK0 again. do. Therefore, the fact that the FSK signal comes from the receiving side means that the data ACK1 from the transmitting side is received.
This means that the message is not received by the receiving side.

S111 Since ACK1 has not been received on the receiving side, the value of the limit counter is decremented once and checked to see if the value is 0. 0
If not, the process returns to step S106 and transmits ACK1 again, and if it is 0, the process proceeds to step S113.

S112 Since data transmission is completed within the predetermined number of times set in the limit counter, "OK" is set in the transmission result code.

S113 Even if data is transmitted the predetermined number of times set in the limit counter, data and acknowledgment ACK1 are not transmitted normally, so "NG" is set in the transmission result code.

S121 Check whether the FSK signal has been received, that is, whether data has been input to the input port P13.

S122 Since no data comes to input port P13,
Set the code corresponding to no data reception in the data reception memory.

S123 A predetermined value is set in a limit counter that limits the number of data reception operations for one data transmission.

S124 CRC check character from received data
Generate BCC.

S125 Compare the BCC value of the received data and the BCC value generated in step S124. If the two are equal, it is determined that the data has been received correctly and the process proceeds to step S128; otherwise, the process proceeds to S126.

S126 Since an error has occurred, the limit counter is decremented once and checked to see if the result is 0. If it is not 0, return to S127,
If it is 0, proceed to S134.

S127 Check if there is data input.
If there is received data, proceed to S124, otherwise
Proceed to S126.

S128 Since the data has been received normally, H is set to the output port P12 so that the FSK signal can be output, and the mark, start bit, and acknowledge ACK0 bits are output continuously in synchronization with the clock.

S129 Set L to output port P12,
Prohibits FSK signal output.

S130 Check whether the FSK signal is received on the receiving side.

S131 Check whether the received data is the acknowledgment ACK1 from the transmitting side issued in response to the acknowledgment ACK0 from the receiving side. If ACK1, proceed to S133, otherwise
Proceed to S132.

S132 Decrement the contents of the limit counter once and check whether the result is 0. If it is not 0, the process returns to S128, and if it is 0, the process proceeds to S134.

S133 Since data transmission is completed within the predetermined number of times set in the limit counter, "OK" is set in the transmission result code.

S134 Even if data is transmitted the predetermined number of times set in the limit counter, data and acknowledgment ACK1 are not transmitted normally, so "NG" is set in the transmission result code.
