Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a system for processing remote information, and more particularly, to a data modulator-demodulator, process and apparatus of a spread spectrum communication system transmitting and receiving information from a subscriber terminal (a credit card inquirer, a security monitor) connected in parallel with a subscriber line through a voice speech line regardless of main communication use, and especially, to a modulator-demodulator apparatus utilizing pseudo noise codes for spread spectrum modulation and demodulation for performing a high speed data transmission and reception regardless of concurrent vocal or speech use on the transmission.
In a remote communication using a transmitting medium such as a telephone line or a power line, it is difficult to completely embody a service for processing remote information irrelevant to a conventional communication service (such as a voice service in case of the telephone line) owing to technical difficulties.
In a case of telephone line use, especially, to prevent influence upon the existing voice service, an in-phase transmission system using a ground and a transmitting system using a non-voice band off set from a voice band have been researched.
A device typically found in data communications systems is the modem. A modem is a combination modulator and demodulator, and is often also referred to as a data set, line adaptor, modulator, or subset. Regardless of the name, the purpose of each of these components is to convert digital pulses into a form compatible and suitable for transmission over a communication system. The digital pulses that represent computer-related data are distorted and attenuated or weakened by telephone lines characteristics due to direct current and VHF components, contained in the pulses, but telephone channels are only designed to transmit frequencies from about 500 Hz to 3500 Hz.
Typically, a modem converts the digital data to analog signals to fit between the telephone channel frequencies by modulation and the data is recovered by demodulating the received analog signals. This allows the data to be transmitted by telephone at high speeds without undue distortion. Modems are characterized by, among other things, the modulation technique used (acoustic modems, integral modems, etc).
To perform the data communication without having influence upon the vocal speech service in the remote information processing system, a conventional data modulator-demodulator apparatus in the remote information processing system executes a data over voice (hereinafter, referred to as "DOV") communication for performing a FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) modulation or has used a longitudinal transmission system using a ground.
The modulator-demodulator apparatus of the DOV transmission system uses the FSK modulation system to use the band over the voice band.
There is a possibility however, of creating a problem of crosstalk since the modulator-demodulator apparatus of the DOV transmission system using the FSK modulation system transmits a high level signal to implement long-distance communication.
Moreover, the modulator-demodulator apparatus of the longitudinal transmission system should be connected perfectly to the ground from a remote place and in a transmitting speed respect, there has been a problem of a slow transmitting speed due to a difficulty of high frequency use.
Furthermore, the above mentioned conventional modulator-demodulator apparatus has the problem such as a weakness in data security owing to its own non-privacy function.
Spread spectrum modulation has been employed in order to avoid a wide range of communication problems, such as, for example, interference which occurs when there are multiple propagation paths between the transmitter and receiver. A typical modem tends to interfere with itself, due to such multiple propagation paths, via delayed reception of is own signal. Two fundamental types of spread spectrum systems are direct sequence and frequency hop systems. Direct sequence spread spectrum systems use phase modulation, e.g. binary phase shift keying (BPSK) or quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), to accomplish spreading, whereas frequency hop spread spectrum systems use a rapid changing of the carrier frequencies.
The implementation of spread spectrum systems requires the generation of spreading codes at both the transmitter and receiver, such as pseudorandom sequences. Typical pseudorandom sequences are M-series codes and Gold codes and are also known as pseudo noise codes.
One earlier technique, a Spread Spectrum Modem is described by Sherman M. Chow and Pok F. Lee in U.S. Pat. No. 4,481,640 uses a Hamming weighted filtered Barker code, along with the data to be transmitted, applied to a mixer to generate a spread spectrum signal in order to reduce or eliminate the effect of multipath fading. However, The Chow et al however, modem splits the digital data into even and odd bit data streams, having synchronous timing, and each pair of bits must be phase shifted by π/4 to encode clock timing into the signal for later clock recovery.
Kaoru Endo U.S. Pat. No 4,864,589 describes Spread Spectrum Power Line Communications between a plurality of slave units and a single master unit wherein the slave unit must detect whether the power line is already in use as a transmission path before the slave unit can transmit to the master unit. Endo's device uses Gold codes to identify the slave units and the Gold code is applied to an exclusive-OR gate along with the data to be transmitted in order to generate a spread spectrum signal.
A more recent efford in found in CSK Communication System in Kaoru Endo, et al. U.S. Pat. 5,132,986 which discusses intended improvements over the spread spectrum system using a pseudo noise code and a data stream processed by an exclusive-OR gate (such as in Endo's '589 patent. The Endo, et al. system is a code shift keying spread spectrum system using a pseudo noise code to transmit a "0" bit and the same pseudo noise code being phase shifted to transmit a "1" bit, the pseudo noise codes being M-series codes. We have observed however, that the CSK system requires the use of two PN (pseudo noise) correlators in the demodulator in order to re-obtain the transmitted data.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore, an object of the present invention to provide an improved data modulator-demodulator circuit and process.
It is also an object to provide a data modulator-demodulator circuit and process for a spread spectrum communication system enabling a high speed data transmission and reception regardless of a voice speech use on a transmitting line, in executing data communication between a scanner and a subscriber terminal of a remote information processing system.
It is another object to provide the data modulator-demodulator apparatus for a spread spectrum communication system creating a privacy function for the data in during data transmission and reception.
It is an additional object to perform spread spectrum modulation on data having been error corrected, and particularly error corrected by adding parity bit data to the data information, wherein the parity bit data is generated by utilization of a well known Hamming code.
It is a further object to provide header data, synchronizing data and initial clock data to be combined with the spread spectrum signal prior to conversion to an analog signal for transmission.
These and other objects may be achieved when performing data communication between a subscriber terminal and a scanner of a remote information processing system according to the principles of the present invention, with a data modulator-demodulator process and apparatus of a pseudo noise spread spectrum communication system for executing the data transmission and reception at a high speed, regardless of simultaneous vocal or speech use on a transmission line. In accordance with the present invention, the spread spectrum communication system may minimize cross talk occurring on a non-voice band, by using this system. Further, there is an advantage capable of a bidirectional communication without having influence upon a voice speech service, since the data is transmitted in the band (over 20 KHz) separated from the voice speech band by using the band-spread frequency, not a specific frequency, namely by using all bands from 20 KHz to 100 KHz, as a signal with a minimized level. There is also provided an advantage of raising the security reliability of the remote information processing data as the data is itself endowed with a privacy function according to the foregoing spread spectrum communication system.

FIG. 13 is a phase diagram for showing a changing state of data format which a transmission-desired 8 bits real data is modulated and transmitted as 164 bits data and the 164 bits data is again demodulated to the 8 bits real data, in the SS Modem according to one embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 13, the embodiment of the present invention is described in details, as follows.
The transmitting buffer 510 stores the real data of 8 bits each by 4 bits (D0-D3: 4a, D4-D7: 4b), which the 8 bits real data is parallel transmitted from the CPU 123, and then the transmitting buffer 510 serially outputs the real data (D0-D3: 4a, D4-D7: 4b) stored in the interior. In the embodiment of the present invention, as an example, the transmission for the real data of 8 bits is described.
The error code generator 530 receives an input of the real data output from the transmitting buffer 510, generates and combines 3 bits parity bit (C0-C2, C3-C5) with 4 bits information by using the 4-7-1 HAMMING code, and outputs 4c and 4d data.
The exclusive-OR logic 550 as the PN code combination means inputs the 4c and 4d data and band-spreads with the PN code to output a 4e data (D00-C53) of 56 bits. That is, if data C0-C2 is added to D0-D3 and data C3-C5 to D4-D7, in this time, with the PN code 1 bit information is band-spread each to 4 bits information (from DO to D00, D01, D02 and D03 of the 4 bits).
The shift register 610 as shown in FIG. 6 in the transmitting data combiner 570 receives the input of the band-spread 4e data each by 1 bit. In this time, the transmitting and receiving controller 270 controls an output format of the transmitting data combiner 570 through the timing control. The transmitting and receiving controller 270 controls the selector 645 and firstly outputs to the shift register 650 the initial clock signal from the synchronizing and initial clock storing part 640, than the 4e data. When the output of the initial clock data is finished, the transmitting and receiving control part 270 also outputs a synchronizing data from the synchronizing and initial clock storing part 640 and then controls the selector 625 to output the header data from a header data storing part 620. When the outputs of the initial clock and of the synchronizing data and header data are finished, the transmitting data combiner 570 outputs 4f data of serial 82 bits having a reception information, by outputting the 4e data. The reception information suggests the initial clock, the synchronizing data and the header data as I0-I19, S0-S3 and H0-H1, respectively.
The line coder 590 inputs the 4f data having the reception information and line-codes the data corresponding to the prescribed clock signal. With the Exclusive-NOR logic of FIG. 7A, the line coder 590 line codes the input data in synchronism with the clock as shown in FIG. 7B and outputs a 4g data of 164 bits, namely the transmission modulation data (TXD1). The line coding, in this time, is to prevent the continued information of "1" or "0". Therefore, an information amount transmitted to an actual line becomes 164 bits information. Twenty initial clocks (10-I19) are transmitted on the actual line as mentioned above since the initial clock sends the same information of 20 bits.
The transmitting filter 420 within the transmitting converter 240 inputs the transmission modulation data (TXD1) and converts it into the analog signal. In this operation, the HPF 427 couples the DC component of the transmission modulation data (TXD1) signal to remove the low frequency component. The LPF 425 and LPF 423 remove the high frequency component from the output of the HPF 427. The HPF 421 filters a passing of the digital component to the voice band from the output of the LPF 423.
The transmitting gain controller 410 controls the signal size to send the output signal of the transmitting filter 420 to the transmitting line and outputs the signal to the transmitting line through the line matching part 210.
The operations of the receiving converter 220 and of the demodulator 230 are described according to the embodiment of the present invention as follows.
The receiving filter 310 within the receiving converter 220 filters the signal component from the analog information signal input from the line matching part 210. Namely the first, second and third HPF 301, 303 and 305 remove the voice band from the analog information signal and pass only the signal component.
The first and second LPF as 307 and 309 remove the high frequency component over the signal component in the output signal of the third HPF 305.
The slope corrector 320 inputs the output of the receiving filter 310, corrects the slope of the input signal to easily perform the A/D conversion and outputs it.
The amplifier 330 amplifies the output signal of the slope corrector 320.
The level converter 335 outputs the amplified signal as the operation clock (OPCLK) according to the TTL, level.
The bit slice part 340 inputs the output signal of the slope corrector 320 to convert the signal into the digital reception data (RXD1) according to the TTL, level, and outputs it.
The initial clock searcher 810 within the demodulator 230 inputs the operation clock (OPCLK), namely 4h data 0191-I00), input from the level converter 335 and detects the clock information, and corresponding to the detecting result, outputs the reception control signal which shows whether the reception data (RXD1) is detected.
The receiving data controller 820 inputs the reception data (RXD1) from the receiving converter 220 and outputs the reception data (RXD1), namely 4i data(S00-C531), corresponding to the reception control signal of the initial clock searcher 810.
The line decoder 830 inputs the reception data (RXD1) from the receiving data controller 820 and outputs the decoding data (`data out`) as shown in FIG. 10B, namely 4j data, corresponding to the prescribed clock signal, through the Exclusive-NOR logic as shown in FIG. 10A. In this prescribed clock, the timing control signal of the transmitting and receiving controller 270 is used.
The signal distortion corrector 840 corrects the distortion of the input signal according to a prescribed reference value.
For the above correction procedure, it is described in details referring to the timing diagram of FIG. 11B on the basis of the block diagram of FIG. 11A, as follows.
When the DATA IN is input to the flip-flop 1110 as the INPUT DATA, the bit and clock controller 1140 receives clock pulses CLK and generates a CONTROL SIGNAL and a clock signal CLK OUT as much as a corresponding time to 1 bit of the input data, in which the CLK OUT is applied to flip-flop 1110 and CONTROL SIGNAL is used for clearing the counter 1120 when the 1 bit is finished.
The counter 1120 counts each high state of the FLIP-FLOP OUTPUT of the flip-flop 1110, and the comparator 1130, in this time, compares a counting value counted by the counter 1120 during the corresponding time of the 1 bit, with the reference value of the majority register 1150. If the compared counting value is high, the comparator 1130 outputs a high state REAL DATA, while, if the compared counting value is same or small, the comparator 1130 outputs a low state REAL DATA. FIG. 11B shows the low and high state outputs of the comparator 1130 as the REAL DATA being output from the signal distortion corrector 840.
To extract the REAL DATA from the output data of the signal distortion corrector 840, the synchronizing and header information should be detected and the value provided from the transmitting party should be exact in the synchronizing information. If an error occurs in the synchronizing information, the extraction of the real data is impossible. The header information includes 2 bits and if the information value is "00", this information is managed as a virtual information not the real data and just the value excepting "00" is managed as the real data.
The SS modem according to the present invention is a communication structure of a time compression multiplexing (TMC) system, which is also known as a ping pong system in the art, and is divided into a master and a slave. The master may be the SS Modem 121 of the scanner 120 and the slave may be the SS Modem of the subscriber terminal 110. The TMC system is, that the slave sends also the information when the master sends the information, and determination for information effect is made according to the header information used on the transmitting format. That is, the header information is managed as the virtual data not the real data if the header information is 0,0. This virtual data is the data generated from itself of the SS modem 121, not the data transmitted from CPU 123, and the virtual data is not stored in the receiving buffer 890 of the receiving party. There is the reception information in the slave regardless of the virtual or real information and if there is the information in the transmitting buffer, the real data is transmitted. The header information, in this time, must be any one out of (0,1), (1,0) or (1,1) not (0,0). If there is no the information stored in the transmitting buffer, the slave transmits the virtual information including the header information of (0,0).
Therefore, the master makes a period transmitted the information, as a master synchronization, which is decided according to a regular period, namely which is decided by the time capable of receiving the information to be received after transmitting. If the master transmits the data according to the time, the slave is received after a delay time occurring actually on the transmitting line. If there is this reception, the slave transmits the data after the regular time, and if the data is received, the master again transmits the data, matching to the following frame namely to the master synchronization.
It is described for operation of the header and synchronizing searcher 850 as follows, referring to FIG. 12.
The first shift register 1250 and the second shift register 1210 store the input data each 4 bits and 2 bits.
The comparator 1260 compares the data stored in the first shift register 1250 with the synchronizing data and outputs the synchronizing comparing data showing the result.
The register 1220 temporarily stores the data stored in the second shift register 1210, corresponding to the synchronizing comparing data.
The comparator 1230 inputs the header data and the storage data of the register 1220 to compare the two input data (the storage data and the header data) and outputs the header comparing data showing the result.
The data detector 860 removes the synchronizing and header data and outputs 4k data, if the header and synchronizing data are detected from the 4j data.
The exclusive-OR logic 870 as a de-spreading means despreads the 4k data by the PN code input from the PN code generator 260 and outputs a 4m data. It may be impossible to extract the data if the PN values of the transmitting party and of the receiving party are different.
The error corrector 880 separates the de-spread 4m data into 4n and 40 data of respective 7 bits and performs the error correction according to the error code within the input data 4n and 4o. The error corrector 880 corrects the information error of the respective 7 bits and outputs 4p and 4q data of respective 4 bits. The 4p and 4q data are converted into 4r data as a parallel data and thereafter, is stored in the receiving buffer 890.
The receiving buffer 890, then, informs CPU 123 of a received state of the data through a status or an interrupter so that the data is read out.
As disclosed above, therefore, the present invention has such advantages that a bidirectional communication is available without having influence upon the voice speech service and that a crosstalk can be minimized, since the data is transmitted by using the band-spread frequency band not a specific frequency, in the band (over 20 KHz) separated from the voice speech band.
Furthermore, the present invention may raise a security reliability of the remote information processing data as there is itself privacy function according to the spread spectrum communication system.
