Preliminary songs to prepare for when there are few requested songs or to fill in gaps in broadcast time, scheduled broadcast times of commercials and theme songs to be broadcast during the program, presence or absence of special request times, for example, first-come-first-served requests to broadcast the first request reception. This is used to set various conditions necessary for program broadcasting, such as the presence or absence of corners.

The program guide creation means 5 includes the system operating condition setting means 4.
The data set in step 3 and the total results from the request totaling means 3 are called up, and based on these data, the number of songs that can be broadcast according to the broadcast time frame is determined by calculating the performance time, and the number of requests is calculated. Broadcast time is allocated from the bottom, and special request time is
If it is set to "Yes", specify the broadcast time.
In addition, by modifying and specifying the broadcast time of commercials and theme songs according to the broadcast time of the requested song, and furthermore inserting preliminary music to fill in the blanks in the broadcast time, the program start time and end time can be changed. This is to create a chronological program guide up to. It should be noted that in creating the program guide by the program guide creating means 5, it is possible not only to do everything automatically, but also to create an outline automatically and manually create the details. The created program guide and various data taken into the program guide creation means 5 are printed out or displayed on a screen by the data output means 6, which is a printer or CRT connected to the program guide creation means 5. It is configured so that it can be visually confirmed (see Figure 3).

Further, the program guide created by the program guide creating means 5 is sent to the program guide execution command means 7 and stored together with other data. When the program guide execution command means 7 receives a signal from the automatic program transmitter 8, it outputs an execution command signal to the audio storage means 9 so as to output audio in accordance with the program guide.

The program execution contents and other data are sent from the program guide execution command means 7 to a data storage means 10 such as a floppy disk and stored therein.

The audio storage means 9 stores all the audio to be broadcast, excluding commercials, such as all requested songs, preliminary songs, theme songs, various messages, etc. inputted by the audio input means 11, and IDs corresponding to each. A number is stored therein, and when the above-mentioned execution command signal is received, the corresponding sound is output to the main broadcast line.

On the other hand, regarding CM, when the CM broadcast time comes, a CM command signal is outputted from the program guide execution command means 7 to the automatic program transmitting device 8, and the automatic program transmitting device 8 that has received this CM command signal transmits the output command signal to the CM. The CM output means 12 outputs the corresponding audio to the main broadcast line.

FIG. 2 shows a list displaying requested songs, which is created on a weekly basis and published weekly or in bulk for multiple weeks in a music specialty magazine, a newspaper, etc.

By looking at this list, the user can know the desired song and its corresponding ID number.

Next, the operation of the system configured as described above will be explained.

First, initial settings are made by the system operating condition setting means 4. Various settings are possible, but in this embodiment, program broadcast time, request reception time, CM broadcast time, number of songs scheduled to be broadcast, preliminary songs (ID number) ), a first-come, first-served request corner is set.Next, the voice input means 11 inputs the necessary songs and messages into the voice storage means 9.

When the request reception time set by the system operating condition setting means 4 comes, the automatic telephone answering device 1 starts the reception operation. When a call signal from a user's push-button tone telephone arrives at the input/output unit 21 and the call circuit is closed, the automatic telephone answering device 1 is activated by its control unit 22.
The voice message stored in the storage section 23 in advance is sent out from the input/output section 21 according to the determined program. Hereinafter, the reception operation will be explained in detail based on the control operation of the ilJ control section 22 using flow-F shown in FIG.

When the call circuit is closed, first it is determined whether it is during general request reception hours (step 101), and if it is during reception hours, "Yes, this is the OO Broadcast Telephone Request Corner. Please enter the ID number of your requested song. Please do not forget to press "#" at the bottom right at the end.'' is sent from the input/output unit 21 (step 102), and the I/O of the song desired by the user is sent.
When a D number, for example "03" is input, and the # button is subsequently pressed down, and the input/output section 21 receives this signal sound (step 103), the process proceeds to step 104, where the input ID number is confirmed to be a legitimate one. Determine whether or not. Then, if it is legitimate, the person output unit 21 will send a message saying, ``Your requested song is 031. If it is correct, please press the confirmation signals ``0'''' and ``#'' in order. 0 If it is incorrect, `` ＊″Press “#” in order to clear the input, then enter the ID of the quest song you want to try again.
Please input the number again. A confirmation message J is sent (step 105).

Here, when a confirmation signal tone is input by the user (step 106), the ID number that has already been input is sent to the request registration means 2 (step 107). The number is added to the number of existing requests with the same ID number and then registered. On the other hand, the control unit 22 of the automatic telephone answering device 1 calls this registered number of requests (step 108).
, from the input/output unit 21, ``Your requested song has been registered.Currently, the number of votes for this song is ×x votes,'''#
” and wait for the program to air.

We look forward to receiving your next request.'' A registration completion message is sent (step 109).

On the other hand, if the user inputs a clear signal tone in step 106, the process returns to step 103 and the same operations as described above are repeated.

Also, in step 104, the I
If the D number is a non-existent number, such as “123”, the input/output unit 21 will display “There is no corresponding song for the number 10 you input.”
*1 Press “#” in order to clear the input once, then
Step 110L returns to step 103 to send a response message "Please re-input the ID number of the quest song you want to try again," and repeats the same operations as described above.

When the registration of the ID number in the request registration means 2 is completed, the process advances to step 111, and "
In addition, there is a chance to win a prime number present through a lottery. If you would like to win, please enter your phone number correctly starting from the area code and press "#1" at the end. If you do not wish to register your phone number. "Please press only #1.

” will be sent as a phone number registration message. and,
When the telephone number signal is input (step 112), the process proceeds to step 113 and the received telephone number signal is output to the request registration means 2. Subsequently, upon receiving the signal sound of the # button (step 114), the input/output unit 21 sends out a termination message saying "Thank you for your request" and ends the reception operation (step 115).

After the general request acceptance time has ended, a call signal from the user arrives at the human output unit 21 and a call circuit is formed, then the process advances from step 101 to step 116.
From the input/output unit 21, "Request acceptance for today has ended.Reception hours are from 1:00 pm to 10:00 pm0.
We look forward to your next request, thank you very much. ” is sent as a reception time end message.

In this way, the addition number of each ID number registered in the request registration means 2 is sent to the request aggregation means 3 after the end of the request reception time and is totaled. Once the ID number is selected, along with the number of votes, the program guide creation means 5
is sent as data. On the other hand, the registered user's telephone number data is sent to the data storage means 10 and stored therein.

The program schedule creation means 5 creates a time series with specified broadcast times and broadcast contents based on the aggregated data sent from the above-mentioned request aggregation means 3 and various data set in advance by the system operating condition setting means 4. A program guide is created.

The created program guide is printed out by the data output means 6 (see FIG. 3), and is also sent to the program guide execution command means 7. The program guide execution command means 7 is automatically set to on-air mode several seconds before the program start time, and enters a standby state awaiting a start signal from the automatic program transmitting device 8.

When the start signal is sent from the automatic program transmitting device 8 at the broadcast start time, the program guide execution command means 7 instructs the audio storage means 9 to start broadcasting, and the program guide is started according to the created program guide. The audio is sequentially outputted from the audio storage means 9 to the broadcast main line.

When the time for a CM is reached according to the program guide, the program guide execution command means 7 outputs a program interruption signal to the automatic program sending device 8, while the audio storage means 9 stores empty material at the same time as the CM broadcast time. Command execution. As a result, the automatic program sending device 8 outputs a command signal to the CM output means 12 to perform 0M output to the main broadcast line, and during this time the audio storage means 9 stops outputting audio to the main broadcast line. When the 0M output to the main broadcasting line is completed, the automatic program sending device 8 outputs a program restart signal to the program guide execution command means 7, and the program guide execution command means 7 inputs the program guide into the audio storage means 9. The program progresses by instructing the output of the recorded audio.

Also, when it comes time for the first-come, first-served request corner,
In response to the command from the program schedule execution command means 7, the voice storage means 9 sends a message saying, "It's time for the lucky request chance, first come, first served corner. We're accepting requests now, so please call us. Chance time has started!" Output. After this, the input/output unit 21 of the automatic telephone answering device l is connected to the input/output unit 21 by the same control operation as in the above-mentioned general request reception operation for the user who first established a communication circuit with the input/output unit 21 of the automatic telephone answering device l. Various messages are sent. First, a message saying "Congratulations, you have won a chance to make a lucky request. Please enter the ID number of your favorite song correctly and press "#" at the end" is sent to the input/output section 21. Sent from continue,
When a regular signal tone is input in the same manner as in the case of the general request described above, the control unit 22 of the automatic telephone answering device 1
sends the input ID number to the request registration means 2. Then, the request registration means 2 registers the sent ID number and sends the ID number to the program guide creation means 5, and the program guide creation means 5 sets the music to be broadcast when creating the program guide. I have
It is determined whether or not it is a D number, and the determination result is sent to the control section 22 of the automatic telephone answering device 1 via the data storage means 10 and the request registration means 2.

Here, if the ID number is not set in the program guide, the input/output unit 21 of the automatic telephone answering device 1 will display the message "Your request has been registered."

We will be calling soon, so please listen to the broadcast and wait.'' On the other hand, the program guide execution command means 7 issues a command to the audio storage means 9 to broadcast the music corresponding to the ID number. On the other hand, if the ID number input by the user is set as a song to be broadcast when creating a program guide, the control section 22 of the automatic telephone answering device 1 receives the information from the program guide execution command means 7. Based on the signal, if it's already on the air, click "Your requested song has already aired today."

Please request another song.'' is sent from the input/output unit 21, and if the song will be broadcast from now on, it will send a message saying ``Your requested song is set as the song to be broadcast today.Please request another song.'' Please send a message from the input/output unit 21.

In addition, for users other than those for whom the call circuit was initially closed, the input/output unit 21 of the automatic telephone answering device 1 will send a message saying, ``This lucky request has ended.''

Waiting for your next request. The next lucky request is scheduled for around X o'clock and X minutes." A message is sent.

In this manner, when all broadcasts according to the program guide are completed, the program guide execution command means 7 outputs a program end signal to the automatic program transmitting device 8 to end the on-air broadcast.

As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, a series of operations from receiving a call to broadcasting can be performed automatically, so a large number of personnel is not required, and This has the effect that the requested program can be broadcast without being subject to restrictions on broadcast time.
