Abstract

A data processing section controls a line connecting section, data transferring section, speech output section and console control section to process and input/output data for responding/reporting. The data processing section analyzes data received from the data base of a supervision and control system which is a connection object via the data transferring section, and effects a process according to the result of analysis, linkage information and message content set from the console via the console control section. The data processing section creates message data of a response message indicating the operating condition of the supervision and control system and supplies the same to the speech output section and supplies a speech message created in the speech output section to a public communication line via the line connecting section.
