Abstract

PURPOSE:To make auto call that can deal with all countries by one program possible by making check for answer back or not for all received words up to a specified number received after starting of auto call. CONSTITUTION:When channel selection is finished, a receiving counter 11 is cleared, and a 3min timer 12 is started and starts counting. When the first data are received, a timer 12 is cleared and checked whether the received data are other party answer back or not. In the case of other party answer back, a message is transmitted, and if not, the content of the receiving counter is added by +1. When the content of the receiving counter is below four, the counter 11 is started again and the second receiving data are waited for. The second receiving data pass the same route with the first receiving data. When the third receiving data arrived, it becomes receiving data setting answer back, and accordingly a message is transmitted.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an autocall system in which a telex terminal device makes an unattended call to an exchange and performs subsequent communications.

(Prior Art) FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing how a conventional telex auto call is performed. The auto call status is (1) Auto call content setting, (2) Auto call waiting state, (3) Auto call activation, (4)
It can be broadly divided into five categories: confirming the destination number and (5) sending a message.

In (1) auto call content settings, the other party's station number,
Specify the answer back to the other station, the number of the message to be sent, and the calling time at which you want to send the message.

The auto-call waiting state (2) is a waiting state until the designated call origination time.

In (3), when the autocall is started, the call is made to the exchange, and after receiving a response from the exchange, the other party's station number is sent, and the caller enters the state of waiting for an answer back from the other party.

Confirming the destination number in (4) determines whether the answerback from the other station specified in the auto call content settings in (1) above matches or does not match the answerback that actually arrived, and if they match, the message is sent. If there is no match, the line is cleared and the call (3) is made again after a certain period of time has elapsed. However, the data received after tuning (dialing) is not necessarily an answerback from the other station, but may be an answerback request signal or the date and time of the day. Therefore, we investigate the order in which the opponent's answer back comes and re-create the program each time.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, the method described above requires the assumption that an answerback will always be received after confirming the destination number in (4), but in reality, the content of incoming calls differs depending on the country. ing. If different content is received, the line will be cleared even if the content is correct, resulting in the inconvenience of having to design a program to suit each country's communication procedures.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantage of having to design a program that is compatible with conventional communication procedures, and to make one general-purpose call program compatible with the communication procedures of each country.

(Means for Solving the Problems) A feature of the present invention for achieving the above-mentioned object is to activate an auto-call at a specified calling time, confirm an answerback, and automatically send a preset message. In the telex autocall system, the telex autocall system checks whether all received words up to a predetermined number received after the autocall is activated are answered back or not.

(Operation) According to the above configuration, the activation word of the auto call is received.
All received words up to a predetermined number are checked to see if they are answerbacks. Therefore, it is possible to reliably check the answerback regardless of the position of the answerback, and it is possible to perform autocalls for all types of telex in which the position of the answerback is different.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing an embodiment of the present invention, and the portion surrounded by a dashed line is different from the conventional method. In order to solve the conventional problem of not knowing what number of reception data the other party's answerback will be received after tuning, we have stopped the method of fixedly checking the order in which the other party's answerback is received, and instead If any of the received data is an answerback from the other party, the system proceeds to message transmission.

The reception counter 11 is a counter that counts how many times data has been received after tuning (dialing), and the 3-minute timer 12 is a monitoring timer that clears the line if the reception data lasts for more than 3 minutes. After selecting a station, there are usually about 4 pieces of data received (answerback from the other party, date and time, answerback request signal, and service message from the exchange).
To clear the line if 4 pieces of received data arrive and none of them are answerbacks from the other party, or if 3 pieces of received data arrive and none of them are answerbacks from the other party and there is no reception for more than 3 minutes. This reception counter 11 and three-minute timer 12 are used.

The operation when the third received data is the other party's answer back will be explained. First, when the channel selection is finished, the reception counter 11
is cleared, and the 3-minute timer 12 is activated and starts counting. When the first data is received in judgment 13, the 3-minute timer is cleared and a check is made to see if the received data is the other party's answer back (14). If the received data is an answerback from the other party, the process proceeds to message transmission 15, but if it is not an answerback from the other party, the content of the reception downter is incremented by 1 (1G). At step 17, if the contents of the reception counter have not reached 4, the 3-minute timer is started again and the second reception data is waited for. The second received data is also 1
Follows the same route as the th received data.

When the third received data arrives, the received data = setting answer back at step 14, so the process proceeds to message sending at step 15. In this way, no matter where in the received data the other party's answerback occurs, it is possible to recognize it according to the present invention as long as the answerback is within the fourth position.

(Effect of the invention) According to the present invention, as described above in detail.

The system of checking answerbacks based on the order of calls has been replaced with a system of checking all received data, making it possible to make auto-calls to all countries using one program.

Claims (1)

[Claims] In a telex autocall system in which an autocall is activated at a specified calling time, an answerback is confirmed, and a preset message is automatically sent, a predetermined number of messages received after the autocall is activated. This telex auto call system is characterized by checking whether all received words are answered back or not.
