FIG.

(Modification 1)
In the fourth embodiment described above, the intercom master unit 3 makes a proxy response request to the security server in response to an operation from the user. For example, when the intercom master unit 3 receives the press of the proxy response button from the user in S160 of FIG. 25, it transmits a proxy response request to the security server in S161 of FIG.

In Modified Example 1, even if the intercom main unit 3 does not accept the pressing of the proxy response button from the user via the touch panel 3a, the intercom slave unit 2 presses a button related to the proxy response service (for example, FIG. 24B). ) is pressed, a proxy response request is sent to the information security server.

FIG. 26 is a sequence diagram showing an operation example of the intercom system 1. As shown in FIG. In FIG. 26, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same processing as in FIG. The sequence in FIG. 26 differs from the sequence in FIG. 25 in the processing of S171 to S173. The processing of S171 to S173 will be described below.

Control unit 51 of doorphone master unit 3 receives the setting of the absence mode of the security service (proxy response service) from the user (S171).

The control unit 51 of the intercom master unit 3 outputs the sound of the doorbell from the audio device 3b in response to the reception of the call notification information transmitted in S158 (S172). Further, control unit 51 of intercom master unit 3 displays the image of the image data transmitted in S158 on touch panel 3a (S172). Further, control unit 51 of intercom master unit 3 records the image of the image data transmitted in S158 in storage unit 52 (S172).

Control unit 51 of intercom master unit 3 transmits information indicating a proxy response request to the security server (S173).

That is, when the absence mode is set in S171, control unit 51 of intercom master unit 3 does not display a button for requesting a proxy response from the security company on touch panel 3a. Upon receiving the information indicating the call notification transmitted in S158, control unit 51 of intercom master unit 3 transmits a proxy response request to the security server without accepting any button operation from the user. That is, upon receiving the call notification information transmitted in S158, control unit 51 of intercom master unit 3 automatically transmits a proxy response request to the security server.

As described above, the touch panel 3a of the doorphone master unit 3 does not display the request button image (for example, the proxy response button image described with reference to FIG. 24C) when the answering mode is set in the doorphone master unit 3 . Upon receiving the call notification information transmitted in S158, control unit 51 of intercom master unit 3 transmits information indicating a proxy response request to the security server. As a result, even when the user is away, the user can receive the proxy answering service, and the security of the building A1 can be strengthened.

It should be noted that the user may set the doorphone base unit 3 to the absence mode even if the user is not actually away (even if the user is at home in the building A1).

(Modification 2)
Even if the proxy response button is not pressed, the control unit 51 of the doorphone master unit 3 sends the operator A proxy response request signal may be sent to request a proxy response by.

As a result, for example, the user can immediately request a proxy response by the operator by pressing the proxy response button before a certain period of time elapses. In addition, the user can automatically request a proxy response by the operator after a certain period of time without pressing the proxy response button.
