Many functions - in one body
Alexander Krutko
Let's consider this curious
fact, as the emergence in the early 90-ies on the
consumer market of the European part
USSR, the so-called "Multi-functional phone
automatic number identification (hereinafter
"ANI").
A distinctive feature is that
that AON, in all of its functions is not
with foreign counterparts, originated as
good potential of mass demand,
mysterious depths of the Slavic soul (Zelenograd, Moscow
Region.), who wishes to translate into a new home a toy for
adults his dream: to have something close, dear,
manageable and obedient.
While the "West" tends to simplify the management of
electronic gadgets wide demand, reducing everything to
pragmatism, modern developers, the descendants of the ancient
Russia, fulfilling his abilities in the AON, the
thus develop the intellectual aspirations of our people to the
knowledge of himself through others.
Multifunctionality AONa helps people in the shortest time
will automatically establish a connection to the desired caller
without lifting the handset, to obtain information about the
caller, recall the need dial a phone number in
some time with the ability to specify
specific day of the week - it is only in general terms, a small
part of what allows AON.
The first home-made automatic number detectors with analog
filters have been around since the mid 70's.
But mass production has begun AONov
in the 80's - after appearing on the consumer market first
processor KR580VM80 (at the time - K580IK80) and then
and more powerful - Z80, which allowed processing of signals
from different sensors.
AON work can be divided into two areas.
The first is the "service":
- Set the current time (hours, minutes, seconds, year, month,
day);
- Work with the alarm (up to 10 alarms with zadavemymi tunes
and a response time of these parameters, with the ability to
dial a specified time for a given number);
- Mode "cuckoo" (off) - beep every hour or voice
support (there is an electronic speech synthesizer), the
current time - through loudspeaker;
- Ability to set the desired speed dialing, line and
parameters set (intermediate pauses, job code
Released on long-distance, number of digits taken for a given
population item, etc.) - pulsed or tone dialing method - up to
28 digits in the dialed number, redial by lying at the tube,
and sound control carried out through the loudspeaker;
- Sequential mode dial to
several rooms (up to ten phone numbers -
if the previous lesson);
- Electronic notebook on the 59 rooms and an additional 41
rooms - special purpose;
- E-bank reference number,
recruited from AONa or parallel phone - remembering the date
and time of recruitment and duration of the call;
- Hold the line while on-
tube until until lifted
tube on a parallel machine;
- Indication of time on the current conversation;
- Work using traditional push-button
phone while off-hook;
- To display on the indicator recruited
facilities;
- Much more, than you can personally
sure, acquiring AON.
The second area involves functions AONa
a so-called Service-defined parameters:
- Automatic number identification zvonyashego subscriber -
without lifting the handset or when it is off-hook on AONe or
parallel device;
- Fixing in the memory of the 100 rooms Caller - with time,
date and category, as well as voice; numbers and time of call,
with the possibility of plays this information with other
phones, specifically referred to the electronic notebook;
- The possibility of reprogramming various settings from
another phone;
- Selection of callers - desirable / undesirable;
- Mode of redirection - where to call and
at what time;
- Much, much more.
When purchasing AONa you can slightly
disappoint departmental requirements peculiar monopoly - "...
Telecom, offering to pay the increased 1,5 - 2 times the rate
for the right to use ANI - on that we can go, or ignore with
dignity - as the inner "I" will tell.
A special law-abiding citizens who do not want to pay still
higher tariff, should know that the function of determining the
numbers AONom can programmatically disable (if determining the
number ANI special pulses produces a request for ATC to issue
number from which the call - which is the main argument "...
the telecom" financial pressure on owners
AONa) - and enjoy the variety of outstanding features that are
in scope in 1,5 - 2 times higher than the service provided by
telephone "Panasonic" with LCD indicator without the automatic
number identification and no less than 20% higher price - in
comparison with AONom in a similar case.
Caller ID connects to the telephone network and
equipped with an external power supply.
Commercial side
production and marketing
As already mentioned, Caller ID is going to
commercially available body of the phone
push-button device tsifronabora with discarding the excess and
maintaining the required ", which is inserted into specially
designed for this scheme with a tight installation electronic
components. The acquisition immediately most of the telephone
is the first item of expenditure, then follows a number of
components produced on the radio factory in Ukraine, Russia and
the West manufacturers.
For technological convenience and the relative availability
of the first automatic number detectors was started in the
casing of the telephone plant "WEF".
After the collapse of the USSR and the Baltic branch of the
purchase prices on vehicles, "WEF" have increased, inflation
has added its contribution, that led to the gradual
displacement of these housing more affordable Korean
production of a flat housing (so-called
"Soap").
It should be noted that automatic number detectors in the
housing "WEF" continue to compete with the apparatus of the
South Korean and Chinese production due to good reliability of
the metal contact groups when recruiting figures - in contrast
to the upgraded contacts of conductive rubber, used
"dalnezarubezhnymi" producers.
Building "WEF" also has sufficient
degree of reliability, including the weight and do not
"Take off" for the tube when it is removed from the
lever - that in some degree typical
for easier "Soap", which, in
turn differs neat and comfortable appearance.
Consider one of the last options - in the case "Technica"
(South Korean or Chinese origin), which in appearance is analog
phone "Panasonic" (Japanese production).
The application of this body, which has, besides the basic
12-button tsifronabora, 11 additional specialized buttons
greatly simplifies the work with your phone
accelerating access to a range of functions. Inclined
front of the phone (with the possibility
its vertical fixed to the wall) and
available dimensions allow you to enter additional circuit
innovations in fee and the appearance at this great lensless
LED portends this body a bright future.
The only alternative may be
hope to release the phone otechetsvennymi producers, especially
for the manufacture of their base AONov - for the CIS market
(including the tape transport mechanism - for implementation in
one package AONom mode answering machine recording messages,
the regime provided for in the software service AONa), as well
as Export - yes! - Our Caller ID is already quietly
penetrate the markets of Bulgaria, Poland, Czech Republic,
Slovakia - limited until these countries due to language
barrier software (voice and a description of the functions AONa
- in Russian).
Currently, the market price in AONa
case "Technica" is $ 55-75 - in
Depending on the professionalism of the manufacturer, place of
purchase, warranty, an additional service to install and learn
the basics of using your phone and others.
On a par with the circuit solutions
software such majoring microcomputer as Caller ID, is an
integral part of the phone. And if 5-6 years ago, the software
places a chip ROM capacity of 8 Kbytes, then the modern
programs require capacity not less than 64 Kbytes.
Software development versions of the Moscow
a series of "Rus" to this day are essential for AONov
distributed in Russia.
However, the technical parameters of the dial
and determining the numbers proved to be unsatisfactory for use
on the PBX Ukraine.
This led to the emergence
Alternatively - Kharkov
versions of the series "Julia."
Competition in the market between the developers version of
the software makes the last cut style of the handling
instructions AONom.
Build time AONov "on hands and knees" by individual craftsmen
for mass sale passes. Survive only businesses
existing human, economic and industrial potential for production
AONov bulk.
But the output is limited to marketing problems: the
functionality AONa can be fully realized only
where the serving exchanges themselves have so-called
"A system of automatic number identification", ie which do not
require a set of rates when calling long distance, that while
implemented, mainly in large cities.
However, "... Telecom has threatened the very
soon entangle the whole country united
telecommunications based on a modern PBX, the
What you can see for yourself by purchasing
multifunction telephone with caller ID the caller.
