Description
Background of the Invention
This invention relates to communication systems and more particularly to the generation of dialing tones.
Office automation products frequently need to generate synthetic speech to communicate with operating personnel, and additionally need to generate dialing signals for dialing through the telephone network. In the past one piece of equipment has been used to generate the dialing signals and another to effect the speech synthesis, with attendent costs.
Sixteen standard signals are used for dialing through the telephone system, each associated with one of the digits, or with one of the supplementary symbols *, #, A, B, C, or D. The characteristics of the dialing signals are given in specification RS-464, a recognized industry standard. The salient features of the specification are that each of the standard dialing signals is composed of two frequency components, one from a group of higher frequencies and one from a group of lower frequencies. In particular the frequencies associated with the signals given in Table 1.
The standard requires that the frequency components be within 1.5% of their nominal values given above and that the level of the high frequency component of a pair be not less than and not greater than 4 db above the level of the lower frequency component.
In general, dialing signal generators have employed resonant circuits or structures readily related to the simple oscillations called for in the signals. Speech synthesizers, in contrast, are modeled on the physiological structure for producing vocalizations and have input parameters relating in a simple way to vocalization. Synthesizers have a great range of input values and a correspondingly large range of output sounds, but it is not evident how to specify the input value to stimulate the synthesizer to produce an output with two particular frequency components, or for that matter whether it can be done at all.
Summary of the Invention
This invention sets forth the configurations for operation of a voice synthesizer to cause it to emit the several dialing signals, and thereby permits a voice synthesizer to signal through the telephone system without need of an independent signal generator.

FIG. 2 shows parts and organization of a voice synthesizer shown in FIG. 1.
Detailed Description of the Invention
Referring to FIG. 1, a subsystem 10 suitable for practicing the invention includes a program controlled processor 12, a memory 14 for storing addressable data, and voice synthesizer 16. The processor 12, which may be an Intel 8031, sends address signals to the memory on channel 18 and receives data corresponding to the address on channel 20. The processor 12 sends input data to the synthesizer 16 on channel 24, and the synthesizer 16 emits an analog output on channel 26. Additional channels for control and timing signals (not shown) are provided and are according to well known technology. Processor 12 and memory 14 are conventional components well known and commercially available, needing no further description to those skilled in the computer and communication art. The synthesizer 16 may be a standard commercially available component such as one made by General Instruments and sold under the designation SP 0250.
Synthesizer 16, as shown particularly in FIG. 2, has an input register 30 with 120 bit positions, an impulse generator 32, a ramdom noise generator 34, a impulse/noise switch 36, 6 digital filters 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, and 48, and digital-to-analog converter 50. Input register 24 is connected to receive input data on channel 24. Control channels run from register 30 to each of the filters and to the switch and impulse generator to control their respective configurations. In particular, for the General Instrument SP 0250, the settings of register bits 41-48 control the operating frequency of the impulse generator and the settings of bits 1-16, 25-40, 49-64, 73-88, 89-104, and 105-120 control respectively the band width and center frequency of the filters F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, and F6.
In operation, the processor 12 obtains from memory or other source a 120-bit code specifying the sound that synthesizer 16 is to emit. The 120-bit code is loaded into register 30 in 15 8-bit groups. The register then transmits signals in accordance with its loaded code to control the configuration of the six filters, the switch and the impulse generator as well as some other parameters such as level and duration of the output. A signal is then selected from either the impulse generator or the noise generator, passes through the filters, is converted to analog form and is emitted at output channel 26.
It have now found the characteristics required for the impulse generator and the filters to produce the standard dialing tones at the output 26. For production of any of the tones the impulse generator is selected as the signal source and two of the filters are actively used. Any two of the six filters may be used as the active ones, the others being effectively configured to produce no attenuation of the signal. The values of operating frequency for the impulse generator, and the band width and center frequency for each of the two active filters is given for each dialing tone in Table 2.
Specifically for the General Instruments Corporation model SP 0250, the code to produce the parameters given in Table 2 is given in Table 3. The values in Table 2 give in hexidecimal notation inputs to be loaded into register 30 to produce each of the dialing signals. The eight-bit code controlling the impulse generator operating frequency is to be loaded into bits 41-48 of the register; the 16-bit code controlling the configuration of the first active filter is to be loaded into any of bit sequences 1-16, 25-40, 49-64, 73-88, 89-104, or 105-120. The 16-bit code controlling the configuration of the second active filter is to be loaded into one of the remaining 16-bit sequences. Non-active filters controlled by the remainder of the 16-bit sequences are loaded with 00 (hex).
The specific code values and positions of loading required will vary from one model of synthesizer to another. The appropriate values and positions for any particular model of synthesizer in order to effect the configurations set forth in Table 2 can be worked out readily by those skilled in the art from the manufacturer's specifications. In some cases the synthesizer specifications may be given in terms of Linear Predictive Coding rather than terms of band width and center frequency. The methods for interconversion between the two methods of specifying a filter characteristic are well known to those skilled in the art. The use of synthesizers specified in Linear Predictive Coding or other modifications in design are within the scope of the claims.
