The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for testing a tone and announcement broadcast connection of a telephone, and more particularly, tones of a telephone for testing a tone and announcement provided by an exchange system using a general subscriber telephone, and An announcement broadcast connection test apparatus and method.

Conventionally, in order to test whether the tone and announcement broadcast abnormality provided by the exchange system, the operator performed the tone and announcement broadcast connection test using MMC (Man Machine Communication) for the tone and announcement broadcast test.

That is, in the related art, in order to test the tone and announcement function provided by the exchange system, the operator of the exchange station used the MMC, which is a mechanical command, to test the tone and announcement function.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, an object of the present invention, by testing whether the tone and the announcement service function provided by the switch system using a general subscriber telephone belonging to the electronic switchboard, the tone, And to provide a method and apparatus for testing the tone and guidance broadcast of the telephone for easily conducting the guidance broadcast function test.

A feature of the present invention for achieving the above object is a method for testing a tone and announcement broadcast function provided in an exchange system, comprising: providing a dial tone when hook-off information is input; Determining whether the input digit information is information for testing the tone or announcement broadcast function; If the input digit information is information for testing the tone or announcement function, determining whether the tone or announcement broadcast code data for testing is input; If the tone or announcement broadcast code data for testing is input, access the tone or announcement broadcast and transmit the same to the subscriber, and repeating the above steps when another tone or announcement announcement code data for testing is input. do.

In order to achieve the above object, another aspect of the present invention provides an apparatus for testing a tone and announcement broadcast connection provided in an exchange system, comprising: a line processor for processing and transmitting digit information output from a general subscriber telephone; A line processor configured to process and output digit information and code data for testing whether the tone or a guide broadcast is connected; If the digit information transmitted from the line processor is the digit information for testing whether the tone or the announcement broadcast access, and if the tone or announcement broadcast code data for the test includes a main processor for performing a test by connecting the tone or announcement broadcast. .

Other objects and various advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the preferred embodiments of the present invention described below by reference to the accompanying drawings by those skilled in the art.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the tone and announcement broadcast test apparatus of the telephone according to the present invention. The line processor 10, the subscriber call control unit 21, the number translation unit 22, and the MF signal matching unit 23 are shown. The main processor 20 includes a switching unit 24 and a tone card 25.

At this time, the line processor 10 outputs hook off information of the general subscriber telephone belonging to the electronic switchboard, and tests whether the digital information dialed in the telephone, that is, the tone or announcement broadcasting function abnormality according to the present invention. It is configured to have a function of matching the main processor 20 and the general subscriber telephone by processing the digit information for processing and outputting the same to the main processor 20 which will be described later.

When the hook-off information is input from the line processor 10, the subscriber call control unit 21 determines whether the subscriber's phone type (Phone Type), that is, MFC (Multi Frequency) type or DP (Dual Pulse) type, is determined. Therefore, it is required to occupy MFR (Multi Frequency Receiver).

In other words, if the subscriber's telephone form is MFC, the subscriber call control unit 21 requests a translation of the dialed digit information to the MF signal matching unit 23 as shown in the figure to translate the dialed digit information. If the subscriber's telephone form is a DP form, the dialed digit information translation request is not requested as will be seen in the description below.

At this time, the MF signal matching unit 23 translates the dialed digit information processed and output by the line processor 10 according to the MFR occupancy request of the subscriber call control unit 21, and outputs it to the subscriber call control unit 21, If the subscriber's phone type is DP type, pulse number information corresponding to the dialed digits output from the line processor 10 is output to the subscriber call controller 21, and the subscriber call controller 21 is sent to the hooked-up subscriber. The switching unit 24 is controlled to be connected to the dial tone to provide a dial tone.

At this time, the subscriber call controller 21 receives the digit information for testing whether the tone or announcement function is abnormal from the line processor 10, and the digit information for testing whether the input digit information is abnormal for the tone or announcement function. To determine the recognition, a translation request for the digit information input to the number translation unit 22 is made.

Accordingly, the number translation unit 22 performs number translation and outputs the result to the subscriber call control unit 21. The subscriber call control unit 21 converts the digit information to be output by the number translation unit 22 tones. Alternatively, if it is determined that the digit information regarding the test for abnormality of the announcement function is controlled, the switching unit 24 is controlled to transmit a tone or announcement broadcast corresponding to each of the tone or announcement broadcast digit information input through the line processor 10. do.

At this time, the switching unit 24 is connected to the card 25 for transmitting the tone or announcement broadcast under the control of the subscriber call control unit 21, the tone and announcement broadcast card 25 is a line processor for the tone or announcement broadcast Send to (10).

Accordingly, the line processor 10 outputs the transmitted tone or announcement broadcast to the general subscriber telephone.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of accessing a general dial tone, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for testing a tone and announcement broadcast connection of a telephone according to the present invention. FIG. 3 is a block diagram shown in FIG. The operation of the embodiment according to the present invention will be described in conjunction with the flowchart shown in FIG.

The line processor 10 outputs the hook-off information to the subscriber call control unit 21 in step 200. When the hook-off information is input, the line processor 10 determines whether the telephone form of the subscriber is the MFC form. As a result of the determination, if the subscriber's telephone form is MFC, the process proceeds to step 202. The MMF occupancy request, ie, digital information translation request, is made to the MF signal matching unit 23. After receiving the pulse number information output from the MF signal matching unit 23, the flow proceeds to step 203 and transmits a dial tone to the subscriber.

In this case, if the dialed digit information is input from the line processor 10 in step 300, the subscriber call controller 21 proceeds to step 301 to request translation of the dialed digit information, and proceeds to step 302 to translate. It is determined whether the digit information thus obtained is digit information (TAN-PFX (Prefix)) for testing whether a tone or an announcement broadcast connection error occurs.

As a result of the determination, the subscriber call control unit 21 proceeds to step 303 if it is digit information for testing whether the tone or guide broadcast connection is abnormal, and determines whether code data for the tone or guide broadcast is input.

In this case, the code data for the tone or announcement is set to 00 for a tone, a special tone for 01, 02 for a busy tone, 03 for a busy tone, 04 for a ring tone, 05 for a loud tone, and 06 for a confirmation tone. In the case of announcement broadcast, the dial delay broadcast was set to 17, the changed station announcement to 18, the missing station announcement to 19, and the trunk line congestion broadcast to 20. This code data can be set differently in system design. Those skilled in the art will readily understand.

As a result of the determination, if the code data for the tone or the announcement broadcast, for example, the code data for the loud sound, the flow proceeds to step 304 and the tone and guidance for transmitting the tone corresponding to the code and the announcement broadcast to the switching unit 24 respectively. The call tone control code of the broadcast card 25 is connected to transmit the corresponding tone, that is, the tone tone. For example, if the input code data is code data for dial delay broadcasting, the subscriber call control unit 21 proceeds to step 304. The line processor 10 is controlled to transmit the dial delay broadcast by connecting the switching unit 24 to the dial delay broadcast code of the tone and announcement card 205, and thus the line processor 10 broadcasts the dial delay broadcast. To the subscriber.

In addition, the subscriber call controller 21 proceeds to step 305 and determines whether the tone or the announcement broadcast code data is continuously input. If the tone or the announcement broadcast code data is continuously input, the subscriber call controller 21 tones the switching unit 24 as described above. And the tone and the announcement broadcast code of the announcement broadcast card 205, and send out the tone and the announcement broadcast, and then terminate if no tone or announcement broadcast data is input.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 302 that the subscriber control unit 21 is not code data for the tone or announcement, the control unit 21 proceeds to step 306 to connect the switching unit 24 to the runaway sound, and generates runaway sound. If the hook-on information is input from the line processor 10, the process ends.

As described above, the method and apparatus for testing a tone and announcement broadcast of a telephone according to the present invention include digit information for testing a tone or announcement broadcast input from a general subscriber phone and code data for a desired tone or announcement broadcast. If input, the tone or announcement broadcast test can be easily performed by connecting to the subscriber a tone or announcement corresponding to a code for the input tone or announcement.

While the invention has been shown and described with respect to certain preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that various modifications and changes can occur without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the claims below.
