In this way, the visitor who receives the notification of the encrypted setting number operates the collective entrance machine 51 to make a call. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of the basic operation of the calling operation, which will be described below with reference to this figure.
First, the visiting room number is input and a call button (not shown) is pressed (S1). In response to this operation, the collective entrance machine control circuit (activation control means) 67 activates the camera 58 (S2), starts imaging, and enters an input waiting state for the encrypted image. After this state, during a predetermined time (for example, 60 seconds) (S3), an image received by a visitor from a resident is displayed on the screen of the mobile phone. The entrance machine control circuit 67 recognizes that the captured image of the camera 58 is an encrypted image, and the image information conversion unit 68 converts it into a set number (S4), and the number information is transmitted to the controller 54.

  The control unit 54 that has received the set number collates the set number stored in the call number storage unit 94 with the collation unit 95 (S5), and if there is a match, the room master unit that registered the number A call signal is sent to 52. The call is made in this way, and the call notification is given by the living room master unit 52 (S6). Note that, in response to the call notification, the monitor 71 is activated and a visitor video is displayed (not detailed).

  However, after the visitor enters the room number, if the input of the encrypted image is not performed within a predetermined time, the collective entrance machine control circuit 67 reads “image” from the loudspeaker 65 of the collective entrance machine 51 or the display unit 60. An error message such as “Could not be recognized, call will be terminated” is reported or displayed, the camera 58 is stopped and the collective entrance 58 is shifted to the standby state (S7). Then, the controller control circuit (recording control means) 96 records the video captured by the collective entrance camera 58 in the recording unit 97 during this time. If the encrypted image is recognized within a predetermined time, no recording is performed.

If there is no matching number as a result of the collation, the fact is notified to the collective entrance machine 51 without calling. In response to this notification, the collective entrance control circuit 67 controls the speech synthesis circuit 63 to output or display a message such as “There is no dwelling unit with the input number” from the loudspeaker 65 or the display unit 60. , Prompt for re-entry.
Note that the response operation and the like by the room master unit 52 after the calling operation are the same as the operation of the conventional apartment house intercom system, and the description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, the setting number created by the resident is converted into an encrypted image and notified to the visitor, so that the visitor can call the resident simply by holding the received image on the camera at the entrance hall. Therefore, it can be called by a number other than the room number, and a suspicious person who does not know the set number cannot be called, which is effective in crime prevention and can secure privacy. Furthermore, even if the call number is composed of a large number of digits, the visitor does not need to remember the number, so the burden on the visitor is small.
In addition, since the camera is activated only when necessary, power can be saved and the life of the camera can be extended.
Furthermore, when a suspicious person performs a call operation, the controller records a visitor video, so that the suspicious person video can be left and can be used for crime prevention.

Note that the encrypted image used in the second embodiment may not be a two-dimensional barcode, and any encrypted image can be used. In addition, the created encrypted image is transmitted to the prospective visitor using a mobile phone, but the exchange is connected to the controller 54 or the like, and the created encrypted image is directly transmitted by mail by operating the room master unit 2. You may comprise as follows.
Furthermore, by first entering the room number, it is possible to record the visitor with the corresponding room master unit 52, thereby eliminating the need for recording with the controller 54.
Also in the second embodiment, the resident may be able to select a normal call using the setting of the call from the collective entrance 51 as a room number and a call using the set number.
