Voice signal converting device
First Claim
1. A voice signal converting device adapted for a digital communication network which handles digitized voice signals and data signals simultaneously comprising:
- means for detecting a discrimination bit from a signal coming to an incoming digital communication path, said discrimination bit being set in a digital signal channel for discriminating whether a bit group corresponding to that discrimination bit represents a voice signal or a data signal;
means for converting the bit group in the digital signal channel coming to said incoming digital communication path into a predeterminedly correlated bit group; and
means responsive to results of detection by said detecting means so that when the bit group corresponding to the discrimination bit represents the voice signal, the correlated bit group resulting from the conversion by said converting means is selected and delivered to an outgoing digital communication path and when the bit group corresponding to the discrimination bit represents the data signal, this bit group in its original form is selected and delivered out.

Abstract
A voice signal converting device is adapted for a digital communication network which handles digitized voice signals and data signals simultaneously or equally. A bit for discriminating whether a signal in communication is a voice signal or a data signal is applied in a digital signal channel. The voice signal converting device is connected to a digital communication path to detect the discrimination bit from the incoming signal in such a manner that when a bit group corresponding to the discrimination bit represents the voice signal, the bit group is converted into a predeterminedly correlated bit group and delivered out and when the bit group corresponding to the discrimination bit represents the data signal, this bit group is delivered out in its original form. Consequently, even when the voice signal and the data signal coexist in one communication, speech quality of the voice signal and bit integrity of the data signal can be guaran

6. A voice and data signal transmission system for use in a digital communication network in which digitized voice signals and data signals are treated simultaneously comprising:
-
(a) means for applying to each time slot within a channel corresponding to a service call a bit for discriminating whether the signal in communication is a voice signal or a data signal when communication is established between terminal units via the digital communication network; (b) a plurality of voice signal converting means each including means for detecting the discrimination bit from each signal time slot coming to an incoming digital communication path, converter means for converting a bit group in the digital signal channel coming to said incoming digital communication path into a predeterminedly correlated bit group pursuant to a predetermined arithmetic law, and means responsive to results of detection by said detecting means so that when the bit group corresponding to the discrimination bit represents the voice signal, the correlated bit group resulting from the conversion by said converter means is selected and delivered to an outgoing digital communication path and when the bit group corresponding to the discrimination bit represents the data signal, this bit group in its original form is selected and delivered out, the type of said plurality of voice signal converting means being determined in accordance with the arithmetic law of said converter means; and (c) means for selectively connecting one of the various types of voice signal converting means pursuant to a desired arithmetic law in a digital link connecting terminal units in communication. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)

10. A voice signal converting device adapted for a digital communication network capable of transmission and reception by effecting switching between digitized voice signal and data signal during one communication as desired comprising:
-
an incoming digital communication path connected to a first unit for transmitting a digital signal, for transmitting the digital signal fed from the first unit with inclusion in each time slot of an information section of a predetermined number of bits representing the voice signal or the data signal and a coding section of a predetermined bit number indicating that information in the information section represents either the voice signal or the data signal; means for detecting the coding section in the digital signal being transmitted to the incoming digital communication path; selective conversion means responsive to results of detection by said detecting means so that when the information section corresponding to the coding section in the same time slot represents the voice signal, a bit group in said information section is converted into a predeterminedly correlated bit group and delivered out and when said information section represents the data signal, the bit group in said information section is delivered out in its original form; and an outcoming digital communication path connected to a second unit for receiving the digital signal, for transmitting the information section and the coding section corresponding thereto delivered from said selective conversion means with these sections included in the same time slot in response to the coding section sent from said incoming digital communication path.
