Abstract
Abstract A data exchange system of the dial-operated type having a central store to contain the operating relationships between the feeders and trunks of the system, and in which exchange functions are effected through special storage operations of the central store. The special storage operations are caused to be carried out between the read-out and write-in operations of a storage cycle, both to speed up operations and to prevent destruction of stored data by seizure of the system by a priority control unit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
293 words
In a dial-operated data exchange having a plurality of control units, each of which is connected to a feeder and a trunk, each of said control units having an assigned priority and including means for sending a demand signal responsive to a signal on the feeder connected thereto for establishing a connection with a central store, said central store containing information regarding operating relationships between said feeders and said trunks, said system including demand control means for producing a select signal responsive to a demand signal in accordance with its predetermined priority, at a given time, thereby selecting a given control unit emitting said demand signal having said predetermined priority and selector means for connecting said selected control unit to said central store responsive to said select signal, the improvement comprising: first and second register means, operations gate means for connecting a first information input terminal connected thereto to said central store through said first register means and for connecting a second information input terminal connected thereto through said second register means and said selector means to selected control unit for read and write operatIons, means in said control units for producing control signals indicating the type of special storage operation to be performed in said central store, additional control input terminals connected to said operations gate means and connected to receive control signals from the selected one of said control units, said operations gate means being constructed to complete the connections from said information input terminals for carrying out said special storage operations between read and write operations occurring within a storage cycle and output terminal means connecting the information output from said operations gate means both to said central store and through said first register means to said selected control unit.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

In a dial-operated data exchange having a plurality of control units, each of which is connected to a feeder and a trunk, each of said control units having an assigned priority and including means for sending a demand signal responsive to a signal on the feeder connected thereto for establishing a connection with a central store, said central store containing information regarding operating relationships between said feeders and said trunks, said system including demand control means for producing a select signal responsive to a demand signal in accordance with its predetermined priority, at a given time, thereby selecting a given control unit emitting said demand signal having said predetermined priority and selector means for connecting said selected control unit to said central store responsive to said select signal, the improvement comprising: first and second register means, operations gate means for connecting a first information input terminal connected thereto to said central store through said first register means and for connecting a second information input terminal connected thereto through said second register means and said selector means to selected control unit for read and write operatIons, means in said control units for producing control signals indicating the type of special storage operation to be performed in said central store, additional control input terminals connected to said operations gate means and connected to receive control signals from the selected one of said control units, said operations gate means being constructed to complete the connections from said information input terminals for carrying out said special storage operations between read and write operations occurring within a storage cycle and output terminal means connecting the information output from said operations gate means both to said central store and through said first register means to said selected control unit.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
223 words
The improved data exchange system defined in claim 1, the operations gate means further comprising: first, second and third AND gates and first, second and third OR gates and, wherein a first of said additional control inputs, selected by said write operation, controls said first AND gate through said first OR gate, the output of said first AND gate being connected to said third OR gate to pass information from said second information input terminal to said output terminal means without logic combination, wherein a second of said additional control inputs, selected by said read operation, controls said second AND gate through said second OR gate, the output of said second AND gate being connected to said third OR gate to pass information from said first information input terminal to said output terminal means without logic combination, wherein a third of said additional control inputs, selected by an operation command producing disjunctive combination, is connected through said first and second OR gates to open both said first and second AND gates, the outputs of said first and second AND gates being connected to inputs of said third OR gate and wherein a fourth of said additional control inputs, selected by an operation command producing conjunctive combination, controls directly said third AND gate, the output of which is connected to said third OR gate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
89 words
The improved data exchange system defined in claim 2 further comprising a fourth AND gate for completing a connection through said operations gate means for information contained in said central store or in said selected control unit and a further control input terminal connected to said operations gate means, said fourth AND gate having an input connected to said further control input and its other input connected to one of the first or second information input terminals supplying information from said central store or from said selected control unit.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
The improved data exchange system defined in claim 1 further comprising clearing circuit means for connecting said output terminal means to said first register.
