Note that the alarm information from the alarm information generating means may be sent to the corresponding terminal based on an instruction from the operator table 3. In the above, the procedure of registering the alarm group data from the terminal 1-i, the procedure of releasing the alarm group data from the terminal 1-i, the procedure of sending the alarm activation request from the terminal 1-i and the procedure of transmitting the alarm to the alarm group. The alarm processing procedure for connecting to the announcement device 23B and the alarm processing procedure for connecting to the operator table 3 have been briefly described, and these procedures will be described in more detail.

First, the process of registering alarm group data from the terminal 1-i will be described mainly with reference to FIG.
First, as shown in FIG. 10, when the calling subscriber dials a warning group data registration request telephone number from the terminal 1-i and sends a call setting signal to the switching system (switching center 2), the call processor 22 Upon receiving the alarm group data registration request telephone number and completing the reception of the telephone number, a call setting acceptance signal indicating acceptance confirmation of the call setting signal is returned to the calling terminal 1-i, and
Execute the translation of the alarm group data registration request phone number.

As the alarm group data registration request telephone number, for example, # 110 * 7541111 # is input. Here, the first "#" means the start of registration request,
“110” means the alarm group data registration request identification, “*” means the end of the alarm group data registration request identification, “7541111” means the alarm group subscriber telephone number, and the last “#” means Means the end of registration request. Then, the translation of the alarm group data registration request telephone number is performed in the order of registration request start, alarm group data registration request identification, alarm group data registration request identification end, alarm group subscriber telephone number, and registration request end.

After the translation is completed, the call processor 22 identifies the alarm group data registration request and determines whether the calling subscriber can register the alarm group data by analyzing the subscriber data. The subscriber data analysis is performed by the file storage means 2 of the call processor 22.
This is performed by referring to the subscriber data shown in FIG. 11 stored in 2D and confirming whether or not the alarm group data can be registered by the subscriber data analysis processing shown in FIG.

Now, the subscriber data analysis processing shown in FIG. 12 will be described. First, in step A1, the subscriber data is read, and in step A2, it is judged whether or not the alarm group data registration can be canceled.
In step A3, the fact that registration is possible is set in the output information, and if it is not possible, in step A4, the fact that registration is impossible is taken as output information, and then in step A5,
Determine if the alarm can be activated. If it is possible, in step A6, it is set to the output information that it can be activated, and if it is not possible, it is set to the output information that it cannot be activated in step A7.

Next, the output information of the subscriber data analysis process is judged, and if it can be registered, the alarm group data registration process shown in FIG. 13 is performed. That is, as shown in FIG.
The alarm group data registration process is performed as follows.
The subscriber data (data of FIG. 11) is read, the alarm group data block number of the information registered in the subscriber data is read, the alarm group data (data of FIG. 14) is read, and the alarm group data block number is used. The alarm group data is searched for the head of the corresponding block (corresponding to the block number “2” in the data of FIG. 14) (steps B1 to B4). After that, in step B5, the subscriber number to be warned is registered in the corresponding block, and then "1" is set in the presence / absence display of the subscriber number.

After that, after registering in the alarm group data shown in FIG. 14, an approval sound is sent to the calling terminal. If registration is not possible, a reject sound is sent to the calling terminal. Finally, when the calling subscriber disconnects, a disconnection signal is sent from the terminal, and the call processor 22 completes all the alarm group data registration processing through a series of disconnection sequences.

Next, a processing method for releasing the alarm group data from the terminal will be described mainly with reference to FIG. First, the oscillating subscriber dials the alarm group data cancellation request telephone number from the terminal. Here, as the alarm group data release request telephone number, for example, # 111 * 7541111 #
Alternatively, # 111 # is input. Here, the first "#" means the registration request start, "111" means the alarm group data registration request identification, "*" means the end of the alarm group data registration request identification, and "7541111".
"1" means the alarm group subscriber's telephone number, and the last "#"
Means the end of the registration request.

Then, the alarm group data cancellation request telephone number is dialed in this way, and as shown in FIG.
When the call setup signal is sent to the switching system (switching center 2),
The call processor 22 receives the alarm group data cancellation request telephone number, and upon completion of the reception of the telephone number, returns a call setting acceptance signal indicating acceptance confirmation of the call setting signal to the calling terminal, and also transmits an alarm group data cancellation request telephone number. Translate the turn.

The translation of the alarm group data release request telephone number is performed by starting the registration request, identifying the alarm group data registration request,
The alarm group data registration request identification is completed, the alarm group subscriber telephone number, the registration request is completed or the registration request is started, the alarm group data registration request is identified, and the registration request is completed. After the translation is complete, the call processor 22 identifies the alert group data release request and determines whether the calling subscriber can release the alert group data by analyzing the subscriber data. As means for analyzing the subscriber data, referring to the subscriber data shown in FIG. 11 stored in the file storage means 22D of the call processor 22, the subscriber data analysis processing shown in FIG.
Check if the alarm group data can be released.

Next, the output information of the subscriber data analysis processing is judged, and if it can be canceled, the alarm group data cancellation processing shown in FIG. 16 is performed. That is, as shown in FIG. 16, the alarm group data releasing process is performed as follows. The subscriber data (data of FIG. 11) is read, the alarm group data block number of the information registered in the subscriber data is read, the alarm group data (data shown in FIG. 14) is read, and the alarm group data block number is further read. At step C1 to C4, the alarm group data is searched to find the beginning of the corresponding block (corresponding to the block number "2" in the data of FIG. 14). After that, in step C5, the presence / absence display of the subscriber number is set to "0".

At this time, as a method of canceling from the corresponding block, when canceling only the subscriber who wants to cancel from the alarm group data, for example, # 111 * 754111.
Dial 1 #. As a result, the subscriber number to be released is searched from the corresponding block of the data shown in FIG. 14, and if it matches the alarm group subscriber release telephone number, the presence / absence display of the subscriber number is set to “0”. . On the other hand, when canceling all the alarm group data, for example, # 11
Dial 1 #. As a result, only the presence / absence display of the subscriber number of the data shown in FIG. 14 is set to "0", which is none.

When the registration is requested again after the cancellation as described above and the registration is made in the data block,
The presence / absence display of the subscriber number is searched for "0", and the subscriber's telephone number is registered (overcoated) when applicable. In this way, after the alarm group data shown in FIG. 14 is released, the approval sound is sent to the calling terminal. If it cannot be canceled, a reject sound is sent to the calling terminal. Finally, when the calling subscriber disconnects, a disconnection signal is sent from the terminal, and the call processor 22 completes all the alarm group data release processing through a series of disconnection sequences.

Next, the processing procedure for transmitting an alarm activation request from the terminal and the processing procedure for transmitting an alarm to an alarm group will be described mainly using the connection sequence of FIG. First,
As shown in FIG. 17, when the calling subscriber dials an alarm activation request telephone number such as "999" from a terminal and sends a call setting signal to the switching system (switching center 2), the call processor 22 Upon reception of this alarm activation request telephone number, upon completion of reception of the telephone number, a call setting acceptance signal indicating acceptance confirmation of the call setting signal is returned to the calling terminal and translation of the alarm activation request telephone number is executed.

After the completion of this translation, the call processor 22
Identifies the alarm activation request and determines whether the calling subscriber can activate the alarm by analyzing the subscriber data. The analysis of the subscriber data is stored in the file storage means 22D of the call processor 22 shown in FIG.
This is performed by referring to the subscriber data indicated by, and confirming whether or not the alarm can be activated in the subscriber data analysis processing shown in FIG.

Next, the output information of the subscriber data analysis processing is judged, and if it can be activated, an approval sound is sent to the calling terminal. If it cannot be started, a reject sound is sent to the calling terminal. When the reject sound transmission process is performed, the disconnection signal is transmitted from the terminal due to the disconnection of the calling subscriber, and the call processing processor 22 completes all the alarm activation processes by a series of disconnection sequences.

When the approval sound sending process is performed, the process shown in FIG.
The alarm group data reading process indicated by is performed. That is, as shown in FIG. 18, the alarm group data reading process is performed as follows. The subscriber data (data of FIG. 11) is read, the alarm group data block number of the information registered in the subscriber data is read, the alarm group data (data shown in FIG. 14) is read, and the alarm group data block number is further read. The alarm group data is searched with to find the beginning of the corresponding block (corresponding to the block number "2" in the data of FIG. 14) (step D1.
D4). After that, in step D5, it is determined whether M is M0 (M0 is the number of alarm group data blocks, for example, 35), and if NO, it is determined whether or not the subscriber number to be alerted is displayed (step D6), and the determination is affirmative. If so, in step D7, the subscriber number to be warned is taken out, the fact that it can be activated and the subscriber's telephone number are set in the output information, and read OK is set in the output information. On the other hand, if the result in step D6 is negative, in step D8 the fact that it cannot start is set in the output information. Note that such processing is repeated M0 times.

In the above process, if the output information of the alarm group data read process indicates that the reading is normal (reading is OK), the alarm group incoming process shown in FIG. 19 is performed and an alarm sound is sent to the called subscriber. Here, in the alarm group incoming call processing, as shown in FIG. 19, first, in step E1,
The alarm group subscriber receives a call based on the subscriber telephone number of the output information inherited from the processing of FIG. After that, in step E2, it is determined whether or not M is M1 (M1 is the number of subscriber phone numbers of the output information that has been taken over (for example, maximum 32 in the above example)). Call control of the process is performed.In this case, the subscriber's telephone number is input, and thereafter, in step E4, the alarm sound source 23
After connecting to A or the voice source of the announcement device 23, a calling signal is transmitted in step E5. That is, a warning sound or a warning sound is carried and the terminal is connected.

After that, when the called subscriber disconnects, a disconnection signal is sent from the terminal, and the call processor 22 completes all the alarm activation processing in a series of disconnection sequences. Next, an alarm processing procedure for connecting to the announcement device will be described mainly using the connection sequence of FIG. As shown in FIG. 20, when the calling subscriber dials an alarm activation request telephone number such as "999" from a terminal and sends a call setting signal to the switching system (switching center 2), the call processor 22 requests the alarm activation request. Upon receiving the telephone number, upon completion of receiving the telephone number, a call setting acceptance signal indicating acceptance confirmation of the call setting signal is returned to the calling terminal, and the alarm activation request telephone number is translated.

After the translation is complete, call processor 22 identifies the alert activation request and determines whether the calling subscriber is able to activate the alert by analyzing the subscriber data. The analysis of the subscriber data is stored in the file storage means 22D of the call processor 22 shown in FIG.
This is performed by referring to the subscriber data indicated by (4) and confirming whether or not an alarm can be activated in the subscriber data analysis processing shown in FIG.

Next, the output information of the subscriber data analysis process is judged, and if it can be activated, an approval sound is sent to the calling terminal.
If it cannot be started, a reject sound is sent to the calling terminal. When the reject sound transmission process is performed, a disconnection signal is transmitted from the terminal when the calling subscriber disconnects, and the call processing processor 22 completes all the alarm activation processes in a series of disconnection sequences.

When the approval sound sending process is performed, the process shown in FIG.
The alarm group data read processing indicated by is performed, and the normal read (read O
If it is K), the alarm group incoming call process shown in FIG. 19 is performed, the connection process with the announcement device 23B is performed, and the alarm voice is sent to the incoming call terminal. When the reading is abnormal, the call processor 22 finishes all the alarm processing, and when the called subscriber disconnects, a disconnect signal is sent from the terminal, and the call processor 22 activates the alarm by a series of disconnection sequences. All the processing ends.

Further, the alarm processing procedure for connecting to the operator table 3 will be described mainly with reference to the connection sequence diagram of FIG. As shown in FIG. 21, the calling subscriber dials the alarm activation request telephone number, for example, "999" from the terminal,
When the call setup signal is sent to the switching system (switching center 2),
The call processor 22 receives the alarm activation request telephone number,
Upon completion of receiving the telephone number, a call setting acceptance signal indicating confirmation of acceptance of the call setting signal is returned to the calling terminal and the alarm activation request telephone number is translated.

After the translation is completed, the call processor 22 identifies the alarm activation request and determines whether the calling subscriber can activate the alarm by analyzing the subscriber data. For the analysis of the subscriber data, the subscriber data shown in FIG. 11 stored in the file storage means 22D of the call processor 22 is referred to, and it is confirmed by the subscriber data analysis processing shown in FIG. It is done by

Next, the output information of the subscriber data analysis process is judged, and if it can be activated, the call processor 22
A call arrives at the operator station 3 of the police station or fire station. If it cannot be started, a reject sound is sent to the calling terminal. When the reject sound transmission process is performed, the disconnection signal is transmitted from the terminal due to the disconnection of the calling subscriber, and the call processing processor 22 completes all the alarm activation processes in a series of disconnection sequences.

When the call with the operator is completed after the call arrives at the operator's table 3, the call processor 22 operates as shown in FIG.
The alarm group data read process shown in 8 is performed, and the normal read (read O
If it is K), the alarm group incoming call process shown in FIG. 19 is performed, the connection process with the announcement device 23B is performed, and the alarm voice is sent to the incoming subscriber. When the reading is abnormal, the call processor 22 completes all the alarm processing.

When the called subscriber disconnects, a disconnection signal is sent from the terminal, and the call processor 22 completes all the alarm activation processing in a series of disconnection sequences. Furthermore, the procedure when this alarm processing method is applied and actually operated will be described mainly with reference to the connection sequence diagrams of FIGS. 22 and 23. As shown in FIG. 22, when the calling subscriber dials an alarm activation request telephone number such as "999" from the terminal and sends a call setting signal to the switching system (switching center 2), the call processor 22 activates the alarm. Upon receiving the requested telephone number, upon completion of receiving the telephone number, a call setting acceptance signal indicating confirmation of acceptance of the call setting signal is returned to the calling terminal, and translation of the alarm activation request telephone number is executed.

After the translation is completed, the call processor 22 identifies the alarm activation request and determines whether the calling subscriber can activate the alarm by analyzing the subscriber data. For the analysis of the subscriber data, the subscriber data shown in FIG. 11 stored in the file storage means 22D of the call processor 22 is referred to, and it is confirmed by the subscriber data analysis processing shown in FIG. It is done by

Next, the output information of the subscriber data analysis process is judged, and if it can be activated, the output information is stored in the file storage means 22D as the information that can be activated by an alarm. The output information is stored in the file storage means 22D as the information indicating that the alarm cannot be activated, and the call processor 22 receives the call from the operator stand 3 of the police station or the fire station in any case.

After the call arrives at the operator's stand 3 and when the notification with the operator is completed, the calling terminal is disconnected through the exchange of a disconnection signal, a release signal, a release completion signal, etc. At this time, the police station or fire department issues an alarm notification. If it is confirmed, the disconnect signal is sent from the police or fire terminal (or a dedicated terminal). At this time, the disconnection signal is added with the information recognized as being alarmable and sent to the switching system (switching station 2). Even if the calling terminal disconnects first after receiving a call at the police station or the fire department, the exchange system (exchange station 2) does not disconnect and puts it in the hold state to stop the call state. That is, the call is released only when there is a disconnection from the police or fire department.

After that, the alarm enable / disable information on the disconnection signal is analyzed, and if possible, is it possible to activate the alarm stored in the file storage means 22D by the subscriber data analysis process? Read the information about the impossibility.
