Description: TECHNICAL FIELD [Detailed description of the invention]
【0001】
[Industrial application field]
The present invention relates to a multipoint audio conferencing device.
【0002】
[Conventional technology]
The conventional multipoint voice conferencing device is provided with a dial function, a line selection function, and an incoming call answering function in the device main body, and is configured to call a conference participant from the device main body. Therefore, when holding a voice conference, it is necessary to go to a predetermined place such as a conference room where a multi-point voice conference device is installed and call the conference participants one by one.
【0003】
[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]
However, there is a problem that it is extremely troublesome and time-consuming to go to a predetermined place where a multipoint voice conferencing device is installed and call a conference participant every time a voice conference is held. For this reason, it is desired to develop a multipoint voice conferencing device that can convene a conference by dialing the telephone number of a conference participant from the telephone of one's own seat.
【0004】
The present invention has been made in response to the above-mentioned demands, and an object of the present invention is to provide a multipoint voice conferencing device appropriately configured so that a conference can be convened from a telephone at one's seat with a simple configuration.
【0005】
[Means for solving problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the multipoint voice conferencing device of the present invention forms a loop for answering an incoming call and making a dial for each line circuit with a plurality of line circuits, and sends out a dial number. The answer / dial transmission circuit to be performed, the incoming call detection circuit that detects the presence / absence of an incoming call in each line circuit, and the telephone number of the conference participant input from any line circuit via the corresponding answer / dial transmission circuit are analyzed. The pushphone dial receiving circuit, the memory that stores the telephone number analyzed by this pushphone dial receiving circuit, and the corresponding answer / dial sending circuit based on the incoming call detection signal from any incoming call detection circuit are automatically answered. The phone number of the conference participant input via the line circuit and the answer / dial transmission circuit is analyzed by the pushphone dial reception circuit and stored in the memory, and the phone number stored in the memory is used as an empty answer. It is characterized by having a control circuit that automatically sends out to a corresponding line circuit via a dial sending circuit.
【0006】
[Action]
That is, in the present invention, the telephone number of the conference participant sent from the caller in response to the incoming call of an arbitrary line circuit is analyzed by the touch-tone dial receiving circuit, stored in the memory, and stored in this memory. The telephone number is automatically sent from an empty line circuit to connect to a voice conference. With such a configuration, it is possible to connect a voice conference from a telephone on one's seat with a simple circuit configuration without going to a predetermined place where the main body of the device is installed one by one.
【0007】
[Example]
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. This multipoint voice conferencing device performs a loop formation at the time of answering an incoming call and making a dial corresponding to a plurality of line circuits 1-1 to 1-N of an internal line or an external line and each line circuit, and also dials a number. To the answer / dial transmission circuits 2-1 to 2-N that send out the incoming call, the incoming call detection circuits 3-1 to 3-N that detect the presence or absence of an incoming call corresponding to each line circuit, and the line circuit that detects the incoming call. The response message sending circuit 4 that selectively sends the response message via the corresponding answer / dial sending circuit and the telephone number of the conference participant input from any line circuit via the corresponding answer / dial sending circuit are analyzed. A push phone dial receiving circuit (PBREC) 5, a memory 6 that stores the telephone number analyzed by this PBREC 5, a display 7 that displays the dial number and / or the conference time, etc. in a conference call in each line circuit, and the operation of each part. It is equipped with a control circuit (microcomputer) 8 that controls.
【0008】
The operation of this embodiment will be described below. When an incoming call signal is input from a telephone (not shown) on an arbitrary seat via, for example, line circuit 1-1, this incoming call signal is detected by the incoming call detection circuit 3-1 and the detection signal is detected by the microcomputer 8 Is supplied to. When an incoming call detection signal is input to the microcomputer 8, the answer / dial sending circuit 2-1 automatically enters the answering state, and the answering message sending circuit 4 operates to answer the answering message. It is automatically sent to the line circuit 1-1 via the dial transmission circuit 2-1. In this embodiment, it is assumed that at least a content prompting the caller to send a voice conference call command and a subsequent conference participant's dial number is sent as a response message.
【0009】
Next, when the caller inputs a voice conference call command and the subsequent conference participant's dial number using a push signal (selection signal), the dial number is sequentially analyzed by PBREC5 and passed through the microcomputer 8. Stored in memory 6. After that, the dial number stored in the memory 6 is read out in synchronization with the end of receiving the dial number of the conference participant, and the dial number is monitored by the microcomputer 8 of an empty line circuit, for example, the line circuit 1. -Answer corresponding to N-Dial transmission circuit 2-Sent via N, and the connection with the conference participants is completed.
【0010】
After that, every time the call command of the voice conference from the same caller or another caller and the dial number of the subsequent conference participant are received in the same manner, the microcomputer 8 corresponds to the empty line circuit and the corresponding line circuit. A connection is made with the relevant conference participant via the answer / dial transmission circuit. The display 7 displays the dial number and / or the conference time in each line circuit based on the detection of the incoming call signal in each incoming call detection circuit.
【0011】
As described above, according to this embodiment, the answer / dial transmission circuit and the incoming call detection circuit corresponding to each of the plurality of line circuits and the telephone numbers of the conference participants input via the arbitrary line circuits are analyzed. With a simple circuit configuration that includes PBREC, a memory that stores the analyzed phone number, and a microcomputer that controls the operation of each part based on the incoming call detection signal from the incoming call detection circuit, voice is heard from the phone on your desk. You can connect to the conference. Therefore, it is not necessary to go to a predetermined place where the device main body is installed one by one, so that the voice conference can be started easily and quickly.
【0012】
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and many modifications or changes can be made. For example, the response message sending circuit 4 and the display 7 can be omitted. Further, the memory 6 can be replaced with the internal memory of the microcomputer 8.
【0013】
[Effect of the invention]
As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to connect a voice conference from a telephone on one's seat without going to a predetermined place where a device main body is installed one by one with a simple circuit configuration. The voice conference can be started easily and quickly.
