Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an automatic notification terminal device that automatically sends notification signals to a specific external notification monitoring center (hereinafter abbreviated as the center) via a telephone line.

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional automatic notification terminal device of this type is provided with a registration operation section 1 for initially setting an individual number corresponding to each automatic notification terminal device, as shown in FIG. 3, for example. This registration operation section 1 is usually equipped with a large number of setting switches, by means of which an individual number for indicating the source of the report is registered. As a notification operation, when a signal is emitted from the notification sensor 2 to the notification sensor input section 3, the control section 4 consisting of a microcomputer receives the signal,
By sending a notification signal containing the individual number set by the registration operation unit 1 to the transmitting/receiving unit 5, a notification is directed to a specific center via the telephone line.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above configuration, the registration operation section is provided for setting an individual number to indicate the source when each automatic reporting terminal device performs a reporting operation. Even though it is normally used only when installing an automatic notification terminal device, the registration operation section occupies a considerable proportion of this device, both in terms of physical space and cost. Furthermore, there is a problem in that, after the initial settings are made by the registration operation section, the user may erroneously change the individual number indicating the source of the report.

The present invention solves such conventional problems,
By eliminating this registration operation section, the purpose is to simplify the method of setting individual numbers, reduce cost and space of automatic reporting terminals, and improve safety.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the automatic notification terminal device of the present invention eliminates the registration operation section and instead allows the control section to specify whether the mode is the initial setting mode or the normal notification mode. This configuration includes a setting switching section only shown.

Effects The present invention produces the following effects due to the above-mentioned configuration.

That is, when initializing the individual number corresponding to each automatic reporting terminal device, the center is first notified of this, and then the setting switching section is set to the initial setting mode and the reporting operation is performed. Next, while the telephone line is being closed by this notification operation, the center side sends a signal indicating the individual number to the automatic notification terminal device. Therefore, the automatic reporting terminal device that receives this signal stores this information in the memory within the control unit, and thereafter reports this information as an individual number during normal reporting operation when the setting switching unit is returned to normal reporting mode. Be able to perform actions.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an automatic reporting terminal, and FIG. 2 is a specific example of the configuration assuming that the telephone line is a dial line. 1st
In FIG. 2, reference numeral 2 denotes a notification sensor that detects a condition to be reported, and if the notification condition is satisfied, a low signal is applied to the control unit 4 via the notification sensor input unit 3. Reference numeral 6 denotes a setting switching unit, which sets the open state between the terminals as the normal reporting mode and the short state as the initial setting mode. First, when initializing the individual number, an application for individual number registration is made to the center in advance, and the terminal of the setting switching section 6 is shorted and the reporting conditions are satisfied. Then, the control unit 4 issues a signal to automatically dial a specific center, and the transmitting/receiving unit, which is an interface with the telephone line, receives this signal and makes a call to the center. When the center receives a call, the control unit 4 sends a signal requesting individual number registration, but if it receives a signal indicating an individual number from the center via the transmitting/receiving unit 5, it stores this signal information in the memory and uses it from now on. This is used as the individual number of the automatic reporting terminal device to complete the initial setting. Next, during normal notification operation, the terminals of the setting switching unit 6 are left open, and if the notification conditions are satisfied, a notification signal containing an individual number to indicate the sender is sent to the center.

In the above configuration, the initial setting of the individual number is not performed by the registration operation unit provided in the automatic reporting terminal device, but is performed by receiving the individual number signal sent from the center via the telephone line. This has the effect of simplifying the individual number registration system and simplifying the configuration.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the automatic notification terminal device of the present invention has the following effects.

(1) Previously, each automatic reporting terminal device had to be manually
The method for setting an individual number can be simplified by changing the setting of a corresponding individual number to an automatic writing registration method via a telephone line.

(2) In terms of circuit configuration, the registration operation unit with numerous setting switches is simplified into a setting switching unit that only monitors the open/short status of the terminals, resulting in lower cost and space savings for the device. It has the effect of

(3) Since there is no longer a registration operation section in the device for registering the individual number, there is no longer any risk of the user accidentally altering the individual number.
