Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an automatic calling method for convening, paging, etc. within a facility using a transponding card.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, when calling a person within a facility, it is common to use a telephone or broadcast, and a special method for calling an individual is to use a pager.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, the above method has the following problems.

(1) When calling by telephone, there are cases where the called party is absent or busy and cannot be reached, so the method of convening a meeting requires contacting each person individually.
it takes time.

(2) Broadcasting causes inconvenience to unrelated people, and it is not possible to confirm whether or not contact was made on the spot.

(3) With a pager, it is not possible to confirm whether or not the person was contacted on the spot, nor is it possible to collect location information or confirm the purpose of the call.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned problems and provides an automatic calling method using a transponding card that can quickly and reliably send and receive information and grasp location information while staying at the place where the call was received. The purpose is to

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a center having data terminals, a fixed station connected to the center, and a transponder that performs transmission and reception with the fixed station. In an automatic calling method using a transponding card, the system is driven by inputting call information including personal identification information from the data terminal, and the call information including personal identification information is sent from the center to a location within a managed range. is transferred to a fixed station installed one by one at the location where identification is to be performed, the calling information from the fixed station is received by the transponding card, the input key of the transponding card is operated, and the personal identification is performed. Transmit information to answer the call, receive a response signal from the transponding card at the fixed station, receive the received signal at the center, check whether there is a response, and if there is no response, The transponding card is called again, and if there is no response to the repeated call, the center sends a command to send the latest location information to the corresponding transponding card, and the transponding card is sent to the transponding card. The card location information is collected and the response results and location information are displayed on the data terminal.

(Function) According to the present invention, a transponding card enables two-way communication with a fixed station, and a person in possession of a transponding card can make an automatic call and respond quickly and accurately on the spot. can be grasped.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Note that the transponding card (hereinafter referred to as TRC) here refers to an IC card with a wireless transmission/reception function added.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of an automatic calling system using a TRC according to the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is a center that manages the entire system and processes information, and is equipped with a processor, memory, and the like. 2 is a data terminal (DT) that is connected to the center 1 and displays and outputs information input to the center 1 and processed by the center 1; 4 is a fixed station that performs transmission and reception with the TRC 10;

As shown in the figure, one fixed station 4 is installed at each location within the management range where the location needs to be identified, and is connected to the center 1 via a transmission line 3 such as a LAN (Local Area Network). ing.

The TRC10 stores personal identification information such as each individual's ID code in advance, and the user
Have them carry one each.

FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of the TRC according to the present invention.

In the figure, 11 is a transmitting/receiving unit that performs wireless transmission and reception with a fixed station, 12 is a control unit that controls and processes the entire TRC, and 13 is a memory consisting of an IC.
This memory is a ROM in which communication control procedures are written.
It consists of RAM and other components that store data. 14
15 is a key input unit equipped with a response key for inputting a response to the call such as OK/NG, and 15 is a notification unit for notifying the called party of the call. For example, buzzer, 16
is a display unit that displays additional information such as calling conditions to the called party.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of automatic calling showing one embodiment of the present invention.

An example of automatic calling will be explained along this flowchart.

In this case, the fixed station 4 always sends out individual location information for each fixed station, and the TRC 10 sequentially stores the location information of the closest fixed station 4.

Therefore, as a preliminary preparation when convening a meeting, group codes for required groups such as meeting members, positions, companies (in the case of mixed buildings), etc. are set as part of the ID code.

When making a call, use the group code when convening (calling multiple people at the same time), and the ID of the relevant person when paging (calling a specific individual).
Data terminal 2 sends additional information such as the code and calling conditions to the data terminal 2.
Input from and start the system (step,).

The center 1 transfers the input activation information to all fixed stations 4 (step, ).

Next, a command is issued to transmit call information from the fixed station 4 to all TRCs 10 (step).

Next, each TRC 10 determines whether the group code or ID code of the received call information matches the ID code of its own TRC 10 (step , ), and if they do not match, ignores the call (step). If there is a match, the notification section 15 consisting of a buzzer or the like is operated and the received additional information (calling matter, meeting place, meeting time, etc.) is displayed on the display section 16 (step).

The called party inputs whether or not he can respond to the call using the response key of his TRC 10 (step).

As for the input response, the ID code of the TRC 10 is sent to the fixed station 4 (step), and the fixed station 4 is sent to the center 1 (step).

Center 1 checks whether there is a response from the person who called (step), and if there is no response.
After a certain period of time, the TRC 10 is individually called again using the ID code (step).

If there is no response even after calling again, the center 1 sends an instruction to the corresponding TRC 10 to transmit the latest location information, thereby collecting the location information of the TRC 10 that has not responded (step).

When the above processing is completed, the center 1 displays the call result on the data terminal 2 (step)
However, for those who have responded, the system will display whether or not they can respond to the call, and for those who have not responded, their location will be displayed by analyzing their location information. Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various modifications can be made based on the spirit of the present invention, and these are not excluded from the scope of the present invention.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above in detail, according to the present invention,
The transponding card enables two-way communication with a fixed station, allowing automatic calling of the person carrying the transponding card, the response to the call, and the location of non-responders on the spot, quickly and accurately. be able to. In particular, (1) the called party can be reliably called;

(2) Calls can be made efficiently through control and processing on the fixed side.

(3) Through repeated calls, it is possible to grasp location information and detect abnormalities of non-responders.

It has the following advantages, and the effects brought about by it are remarkable.
