Abstract

1,267,793. Collecting data over telephone systems. INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ELECTRIC CORP. 10 June, 1970 [19 June, 1969], No. 28095/70. Heading H4K. Data, such as the identity and total of a public utility meter, is sent to a central processing station over a telephone network and at timed intervals, such as two or four weeks, by means of a telephone substation attachment which at each expiry of a timed interval dials the processing station and in response to an acknowledgement signal sends the data. The period between meter readings is timed by an electrochemical device which deposits silver from an electrolyte and the current through which stops when all the silver has been deposited on one electrode, reversal of the electrodes reversing the process of deposition to time a further interval. Such a timer 25 sets a latching circuit 33 which operates a relay 35 to sense the free/busy condition of the substation telephone line. If the line is busy the circuit waits. If or when the line is free it is looped by operation of a relay 48 and a period of 3 seconds is timed at 46 to presume receipt of dial tone before a motor driven multifrequency number sender 20, 21, 22 is operated to dial the number of the processing station. From the beginning of sending a timer 63 waits for an acknowledgement audio frequency signal from the processing station as detected over filter 72 and triggers 73, 74. Receipt of the acknowledgement in time resets the timer 63 and causes the meter 23 to send its identity and total. If the data sent by the meter is not satisfactory the processing station sends a repeat of the acknowledgement signal to reset timer 63 once more and obtain a repeat of the data. When satisfied the processing station sends an audiofrequency shutdown signal which over filter 81 and trigger 82 resets the latching circuit 33. If timer 63 times out before an acknowledgement signal is received, or when the call is blocked or misdirected, the telephone line is released by dropping relay 48 momentarily before reseizure and a further attempt to set up the connection. Such attempts are repeated until acknowledgement and shut-down signals are received. The attachment withdraws by releasing relay 48 if during its sending function a call is originated over the line by the associated substation. The attachment renews its attempt to send as soon as the substation frees the line. The attachment is locally powered but may be powered over the exchange line.
