Definitions

  • the invention relates to a telephone set for remote alarm and/or monitoring comprising at least one pre-programmable fast/short dialling button and a line selecting/engaging apparatus.
  • a further disadvantage of the known devices is their relatively high cost and difficult installation and their limited applicability.
  • the pre-programmed telephone number can only be modified at a service station by disassembling the ap- paratus.
  • a method for transmitting alarm signals is known from the WO 95/01 169, which discloses a telephone set connected to a public telephone network including a selectively addressable telephone number dialling device. Said telephone number dialling device is connected to one or a number of manually or automatically operable alarm indicators, which initiate dialling of predetermined telephone numbers when operated.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a telephone set which allows the acoustic telemonitoring of a remote location after an automaticallv initiated call.
  • the switching means controlled by an alarm signal are connected parallel to the switching means of the line selecting/engaging apparatus and to the contact means of the pre-programmable fast/short dialling button.
  • Such a configuration of the additional switching means cause upon an alarm event automatic dialling of one or more predetermined telephone number by actuating the line selecting/engaging apparatus first and then closing the contact means of the pre- programmable fast/short dialling button. These functions arc carried out while the handset is hung up. In this way the dialling procedure remains hidden for the observer. Acoustic information is being transferred uninterrupted through the microphone of the handset durin ⁇ g the whole time of the call.
  • the telephone set of the invention may be connected to a wired (analog or digital) or wireless (mobile) telecommunication network.
  • the switching means controlled by an alarm signal may be selected from the electromechanical or electronic switching means.
  • the switching means connected in series with or cross-parallel to the switching means of the line selecting/engaging apparatus are the switching means of a first relay being under voltage in the active state of the alarm signal, and the switching means connected parallel to the contact means of the pre-programmable fast/short dialling button are the switching means of a second relay actuated with a delay relative to the first relay.
  • the coil of the second relay is connected to the actuating voltage through a delay circuit.
  • control signal input is configured on the line input connector.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic top view of a known telephone set used for the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic top view of a telephone set according to the invention,
  • FIG. 3 a schematic diagram of the automatic operation of the switching means of the line selecting/engaging apparatus and of the contact means of the fast/short dialling - button, and
  • FIG. 4 another diagram of the automatic operation of the switching means of the line selecting/engaging apparatus and of the contact means of the fast/short dialling but- ton.
  • Fig. 1 shows a two-wire analog or digital telephone set comprising a housing, a handset, a set of dial-buttons, a line selecting/engaging apparatus 4 and a fast/short dialling button 5.
  • the telephone set may be connected to a two-wire telephone line through a standardised connector.
  • the line connector can be of the standardised type RJ 1 1 generally with six contact elements. Only two of the contact elements are used by the telephone set in a two-wire telecommunication connection.
  • Fig. 2 shows a telephone set configured according to the invention where two free contact elements of the line connector are used as a control signal input.
  • the switching means 6 controlled by an alarm signal and assigned to or associated with the switching means of the line selecting/engaging apparatus 4 and the contact means of the pre-programmable fast/short dialling button 5 are located in the housing of the telephone set. In case of a two-wire system it is sufficient to use a four-wire line.
  • the switching means 6 are positioned in the housing in a way not changing the outer appearance of the telephone set and so the telephone set modified according to the invention can not be distinguished from a conventional telephone set.
  • the suitable configuration of the switching means 6 provides for the automatic dialling of the predetermined telephone number or telephone numbers upon an alarm event by simulating the pick-up of the handset and the actuating of the or one of the pre-programmed fast/short dial button(s).
  • the closing of the contact elements of the fast/short dial button simulating the operation of the fast/short dial button is delayed after the line se- lect'engagement by a predetermined time or the contact elements are closed upon detecting the dial tone on the line.
  • the delay of the dialling can be achieved also by starting the pre-programmed call number with a pause or a preceding dummy number before the pause.
  • Any known alarm apparatus (burgler detector), device detecting and signalling a selected event (fire alarm), or manually operated alarm switch can be used for generating an alarm signal. With the use of a manually operated switch old or ill persons can also be remotely monitored.
  • more than one telephone set each of them being connected to one telephone line is used in order to dial automatically more than one telephone number upon an alarm event, thus enabling a multi-target remote alarm which is especially useful for banks, department-stores and museums storing and exhibiting precious art objects.
  • the telephone set of the invention is connected to a digital exchange, the telephone number of the caller can also be displayed.
  • each of the call/alarm sources can be identified separately.
  • all calls are logged and so the delay or failure of action can be traced and examined.
  • FIGS. 3a and 3b there are shown the contact elements of the line select/engaging apparatus and FIGS. 3c and 3d show the contact elements of the fast/short dial button.
  • FIGS. 3a and 3b show actually two alternative switches operated by the handset. In normal position when the handset is hung up upper contact elements of the switches are closed and the line is not selected/engaged. By picking- up the handset the alternative switch changes over (the electromechanical latching terminates) and the lower pairs of contact elements close thereby shorting d e line with a low impedance and selecting/engaging the line which is detected by the exchange.
  • the actuating of the alternative switches of FIG 3 can also be accomplished without picking-up the handset by controlling an electromechanical switching means, such as an electromagnet positioned in the housing and a permanent magnet posi- tioned in the handset-pushbutton opposite to the electromagnet.
  • an electromechanical switching means such as an electromagnet positioned in the housing and a permanent magnet posi- tioned in the handset-pushbutton opposite to the electromagnet.
  • die contact element of the fast/short dial button is in its normal open state.
  • a second contact element is connected parallel to the contact element of the fast/short dial button.
  • This second contact element is part of an electromechanical switching means (e.g. relay) or an electronic switching means (e.g. semiconductor switch, such as a transistor, tvristor, triac. etc.) which mav be controlled bv a control - signal.
  • the second contact element simulates the actuating of the fast/short dial button.
  • the closure of the controlled contact element initiate
  • FIG. 4 there is shown a further embodiment with contact elements of additional 6 switching means actuated by the control signal of the alarm unit arranged in a way suitable for simulating the operation of the 4 switching means of the line selecting/engaging apparatus.
  • the upper contact elements of the controlled switch arc connected in grooves with the upper contact elements of the fast/short dial button and the lower contact elements of the controlled switch arc connected cross-parallel to the contact elements of the fast/short dial button.
  • the handset remains in its normal position. Instead of actuating the pushbutton of the handset the function of the contact elements of the line selecing/en- gaging apparatus is simulated in this embodiment by actuating the additional contact elements.
  • the controlled switch may be selected from the electromechanical switches (e.g. relays) or the electronic switches (e.g.
  • the control signal is a voltage or current preferably a direct voltage or current suitably selected for the switching means and may be directly received from the alarm system or generated from the alarm signal.
  • One advantage of the telephone set of the invention is that its outer appearance can not be distinguished from a conventional telephone set.
  • a further advantage is the monitoring mode in the alarm state without any signal for the observer. For carrying out the alarm and monitoring function only minimal modification of the circuitry of the telephone set is necessary thereby not changing the transmission parameters of the telephone set.
  • the telephone set of the invention may be used as a normal telephone set as long as the alarm function is not activated.
  • the telephone number(s) to be di- - ailed in alarm event can be easily programmed or changed.
  • the telephone set of the invention is easy to install and to use, no special skill is required.
