Definitions
- the invention concerns telecommunications conferencing systems, in general.
- the invention concerns an apparatus for use with a telecommunications system to facilitate oral and graphical presentations using standard telephones and data processing equipment connected via standard telephone lines.
- conference call has become a standard practice for bringing persons together for discussion without requiring the participants to travel from their current locations.
- conventional conference calls save time and travel expense, they are of limited usefulness when graphical information, such as drawings, schematics, etc., is the subject of discussion. Such graphical information can also be particularly persuasive in sales presentations.
- a system which provides both oral and visual presentations among multiple locations is highly desirable. Such a system would be further enhanced- by an interactive capability which allows attendees at remote locations to communicate with each other in an interactive manner.
- U.S. Patent 4,320,522 to Hayes discloses that a broad range of frequency and signal formats have been developed over the years and are used in present day tone frequency signalling systems.
- U.S. Patent 4,716,583 to Groner et al. discloses a multi ⁇ channel communications system that accepts dual tone multiple frequency (DTMF) encoded commands also known as Touch-Tone commands fro ⁇ r* - ⁇ — telephone caller and translates the encoded text, such as ASCII text, from a plurality of distinct data bases into verbal English or any other language regardless of the content of the data base.
- DTMF dual tone multiple frequency
- This system uses a text to speech translator, a telephone interface and a data base access interface with the central processor.
- the telephone interface provides a telephone connection with the user by detecting incoming calls and by instigating calls, decodes DTMF instructions by the user and transmits verbal responses back to the user.
- a processor controls the system and responds to signals from the telephonic interface.
- U.S. Patent 4,922,517 to West discloses an interface system for interfacing a standard telephone set with a radio transceiver as part of a telephone network. West discloses muting an audio channel for 200 milliseconds after a telephone key is pressed. Muting also takes place when a transceiver receives tone generated signals and regenerates and transmits the tones, since such tones will be heard over a connected audio channel unless muted.
- a telecommunications apparatus which can be connected between a standard telephone and a data processing device, such as- "a—personal computer.
- the telecommunications apparatus includes an interface which receives information from a telephone or telephone line and outputs the received information to two signal paths.
- the first signal path has a time delay while the second signal path does not. Outputs from the first signal path are used to drive a speaker.
- a squelch circuit is used to squelch outputs from the first signal path when signals in the second signal path have selected predetermined characteristics.
- a decoder in the squelch circuit determines if undelayed signals in the second signal path are data signals, such as DTMF signals.
- a muting circuit in the first signal path is activated to suppress the output of signals from the first signal path. Since signals in the first signal path are used to drive a speaker, muting the DTMF signals prevents the speaker from producing unpleasant noise.
- the DTMF signals in the second path are encoded into data compatible with the processing device and routed via an interface, such as a RS-232 interface, to the data processing device, such as a personal computer.
- the computer can also transmit information through the same interface to the encoder/decoder, which encodes the information into DTMF signals to be transmitted through the telephone to another device communicating with the telephone.
- An apparatus also provides a key pad which allows the user to output sixteen discrete Touch-Tone signals locally, without the need for the speaker phone and telephone lines, or remotely using the speaker and telephone lines, to be used as input for the touch-tone encoder/decoder.
- a telephonic device such as a speaker phone
- telephone lines are used to establish an analog telephone connection between two or more modules.
- the decoder accepts audio input via the speaker phone.
- the decoder recognizes the standard Touch-Tones and converts them to standard ASCII 8-bit binary data to be sent to control software via an RS-232 serial port on a computer.
- the apparatus according to the invention has a delay and a mute circuit which, when it recognizes a Touch-Tone signal, mutes the audio output so that the Touch-Tone is not heard.
- the apparatus according to the invention thus provides signals to an amplifier and speaker used to amplify and project the audio.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an apparatus according to the invention
- Figure 2 is a diagram illustrating timing relationships in a system according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an implementation of an apparatus according to the invention.
- Figure 4 illustrates a telecommunication system employing a teleconference apparatus according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a telecommunications apparatus or conference device 1 used with a data processing device 3, such as a personal computer, and a telephonic device 5, such as a telephone having a line side 2 for connection to a telephonic communications medium.
- telecommunications apparatus 1 has a telephonic interface 7.
- Telephonic interface 7 includes circuitry for interfacing telecommunications apparatus 1 with a signal side 4 of telephonic device 5.
- Telephone 5 provides both voice and non-voice signals to telephonic interface 7 of telecommunications apparatus 1.
- Telephonic interface 7 then provides the signals to a first signal path 9 having a time delay circuit 11 therein.
- the signals from telephonic interface 7 are also provided to a second signal path 13.
- Second signal path 13 has no delay element.
- Signals output from telephonic interface 7 along second signal path 13 are applied to one input of a squelch circuit 15.
- Another input of squelch circuit 15 receives outputs from delay circuit 11.
- Squelch circuit 15 detects predetermined characteristics of the signals from the second, undelayed signal path 13.
- encoder/decoder 17 within squelch circuit 15 detects if the signals output from telephonic interface 7 are DTMF or Touch-Tone signals. If so, encoder/decoder circuit 17 provides a squelch command on signal line 19 to activate muting circuit 21. In response, muting circuit 21 squelches outputs from delay circuit 11, thereby preventing signals from reaching speaker 23.
- Time delay circuit 11 is configured to allow sufficient time for encoder/decoder non-voice signals circuit 17 to recognize the non-voice signals. Recognition of these before they are output from the delay circuit permits them to be squelched by muting circuit 21 non-voice signals so that speaker 23 produces only voice signals for the listener. Thus, by activating muting circuit 21, squelch circuit 15 prevents unpleasant noise generated by the data signals, such as DTMF signals, from being reproduced by speaker 23. Encoder/decoder 17 also receives the DTMF signals and translates them into data which can be used by a standard data processing device 3, such as a personal computer.
- Encoder/decoder 17 can also interface with keypad 25 to provide DTMF signals from the encoder/decoder 17 to telephone 5 through telephonic interface 7.
- data processing device 3 can communicate through interface 28 with encoder/decoder 17.
- Encoder/decoder 17 converts data received from the computer 3 into DTMF signals which can then be transmitted by telephone 5, thereby providing an inter-active capability for the system.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the timing relationship among the delayed and non-delayed signals.
- Signal line A indicates a composite signal of audio and DTMF signals which appears at signal line 13. These signals can be any combination of signals from the telephone 5 and data processing device 3.
- Signal B illustrates that the output of delay element 11 is signal A shifted in time by a predetermined amount.
- Squelch command C appears on signal 19 in response to detection by the encoder/decoder 17 of DTMF signals. Squelch command C causes muting circuit 21 to prevent DTMF signals from reaching speaker 23, as shown by speaker input signal D in Figure 2.
- FIG. 3 is a more detailed diagram of an apparatus according to the invention.
- a phone line input is introduced at lines LI and L2 through transformer Tl.
- DTMF input is coupled through capacitor 27 to encode/decode circuits, which are commercially available chips U5 and U6. Since no delay is incorporated in this path, DTMF signals are decoded and transmitted to a computer through RS-232 interface U7.
- data from the computer can be transmitted through interface U7 to encoder/decoder U5 and U6 to provide DTMF output of computer data to the telephone line.
- a pre-amp and filter circuit may be used to amplify-and tailor the frequency characteristics of voice data.
- the processed signal is then routed through delay unit U2.
- signal line 19 provides a mute command from the encoder/decoder formed by circuits U5 and U6.
- the mute command turns on transistor Ql when DTMF signals are detected.
- Activating transistor Ql to the on state shunts the output from the delay circuit which is coupled to the collector of transistor Ql to ground, thereby eliminating from the speaker any noise that would be produced by the DTMF signals.
- transistor Ql When transistor Ql is not turned on, signals are transferred through an output amplifier to the speaker for reproduction. Since only non-DTMF signals are reproduced, DTMF induced noise is not output by the speaker.
- Figure 4 illustrates that a system according to the invention can incorporate one or more of the apparatus shown in Figures 1 and 3.
- Figure 4 shows several devices connected to a transmission medium 40.
- transmission medium 40 is typically a telephone line which may be interconnected to other transmission medium ordinarily used for telephonic communications.
- a plurality of telephones 5 communicating over transmission medium 40 would be connected to telecommunications apparatus 1.
- telecommunications apparatus 1 would then be connected to data processing unit 3. Participants having only a telephone 42 are restricted to voice only participation.
- a unit 44 which would include telephone 5 and telecommunications apparatus 1 or a unit 46 which would include telephone 5, telecommunications apparatus 1 and data processing unit 3 in an integrated assembly.
- interactive capability is provided among all teleconference participants shown in Figure 4.
- the graphic or other information would be processed by each participant's computer or other data processing device to be displayed, stored or otherwise processed as desired.
- each participant could participate in the voice conference.
- each participant could have the capability to adjust the display, for example, to highlight areas to highlight areas on the display requiring further explanation or comment or to generate a new display for discussion.

Abstract
Un dispositif de télécommunications (1) possède une interface (7) qui reçoit des informations vocales et de données provenant d'un appareil téléphonique (4), et envoie ces informations dans un premier trajet de signal (9) avec une temporisation, et dans un deuxième trajet de signal non temporisé (13). Un circuit de blocage automatique (15) comprend un silencieux (21) qui bloque automatiquement les sorties provenant du premier trajet de signal temporisé (9) quand un détecteur (17) dans le circuit de blocage automatique (15) estime que les signaux du deuxième trajet de signal non temporisé (13) présentent certaines caractéristiques prédéterminées, telles que des caractéristiques de signaux de multifréquence en code 2. Le dispositif de télécommunication (1) est branché entre un téléphone (5) et un processeur de données (3) tel qu'un ordinateur personnel. Des informations vocales et graphiques sont transmises par l'intermédiaire du téléphone parmi les stations participantes. Au niveau des stations pourvues du dispositif de télécommunications, des signaux de multifréquence en code 2 sont détectés et bloqués automatiquement dans le trajet de signal temporisé, de sorte que les bruits désagréable n'y soient pas reproduits. Le trajet de signal temporisé est ensuite utilisé afin de commander un haut-parleur (23) qui produit l'information vocale. L'information non vocale dans le deuxième trajet de signal telle que des signaux de multifréquence en code 2, est convertie non vocalement sous une forme pouvant être affichée, mémorisée ou généralement être utilisée par l'ordinateur au niveau de la station. Etant donné que toutes les communications sont directives en D1, le système permet d'établir des communications interactives sans modems ou autre équipement spécifique.
