Abstract

Abstract A speech path switching system in time-divisional electronic telephone switching system for the full availably switching between k number of incoming highways and k number of outgoing highways and each highway having n number of telephone channels comprises (a) k number of speech path memories for temporarily storing telephone signals, provided for each incoming highway, (b) k number of input counters provided for each speech path memory for designating the input address of said speech path memory, said input counter being circularly incremented synchronized with the frame phase of the corresponding incoming highway, (c) k number of holding memories provided for each outgoing highway for designating the read out address of said speech path memory to substantially connect an incoming channel to an outgoing channel, and (d) k number of output counters provided for each holding memory for designating the read out address of the holding memory.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 210 words
A speech path switching system in a time divisional electronic telephone switching system for full availability switching between an incoming channel in a plurality of incoming highways and an outgoing channel in a plurality of outgoing highways comprising: a plurality of speech path memories each coupled with a related incoming highway for temporarily storing the telephone signals to be switched; each of said speech path memories having a related input counter for designating the address of a speech path memory, said input counter being incremented in synchronism with the frame phase of the corresponding incoming highway, the received information on an incoming highway being stored in an address designated by the instantaneous content of the input counter in the corresponding speech path memory; a plurality of holding memories, each operable to designate the read out address of a speech path memory to effectively connect an incoming channel to a selected outgoing channel; a holding memory being provided for each related outgoing highway, each holding memory having a corresponding output counter for designating the read out address of the holding memory; the circulation phase of each output counter being independently adjustable, the frame phase of each outgoing highway being independent from the other outgoing highways by adjusting each output counter independently.

Dependent Claim 210 words
A speech path switching system in a time divisional electronic telephone switching system for full availability switching between an incoming channel in a plurality of incoming highways and an outgoing channel in a plurality of outgoing highways comprising: a plurality of speech path memories each coupled with a related incoming highway for temporarily storing the telephone signals to be switched; each of said speech path memories having a related input counter for designating the address of a speech path memory, said input counter being incremented in synchronism with the frame phase of the corresponding incoming highway, the received information on an incoming highway being stored in an address designated by the instantaneous content of the input counter in the corresponding speech path memory; a plurality of holding memories, each operable to designate the read out address of a speech path memory to effectively connect an incoming channel to a selected outgoing channel; a holding memory being provided for each related outgoing highway, each holding memory having a corresponding output counter for designating the read out address of the holding memory; the circulation phase of each output counter being independently adjustable, the frame phase of each outgoing highway being independent from the other outgoing highways by adjusting each output counter independently.
