Intercom with touchscreen and wireless.

This device relates to the field of communications.

An intercom system is a device designed to restrict access by unauthorized persons to residential and office buildings. Accordingly, the main function of the intercom is to provide access to desirable persons and to prevent undesirable access. Therefore, by definition, the intercom should: firstly, provide control of the locking devices, secondly, provide communication between visitors and the user of the room to which they are directed, and thirdly, ensure the identification of persons using the intercom, with their separation into desirable and unwanted. Existing intercoms perform this task, however, in the conditions of development of modern technologies, outdated methods of information transfer are used.

A multifunctional intercom system is known from the prior art, comprising a control panel including a microcontroller connected to a keyboard, a key device and a lock device control module, a power and battery management module, a power supply unit, a battery used as a backup power source, a lock device , floor blocks of the subscriber, including n blocks of the subscriber with switches, a coordinate line of communication, consisting of n lines of floor numbers and m lines th number of apartments on the floor, emergency call button (112), non-volatile real-time clock, non-volatile memory module, sound module, audio signal amplification module, information transmit-receive module, organized in the form of one or more transmit-receive devices, characterized in that multifunctional intercom system is made with the ability to: exchange data with a remote server; work in case of disconnection of an external power source; playing audio messages or audio files of various nature; simultaneous or sequential notification of residents of apartments in case of emergency; emergency call 112 to determine the location or coordinates of the caller. Patent RU132 660, Н04М 11/00 (2006.01), 02.27.2013.

The disadvantage of this technical solution is the inability to use standard digital (including mobile) devices such as a smartphone, tablet computer or laptop as a subscriber device due to the use of outdated wired analog communication with subscribers and the need to install specialized subscriber handsets with limited functionality.

Also known is the device described in patent DE 102014004490 A1 H04M 9/00 (2006.01), 03/29/2014, which describes an intercom with a wireless communication system for using standard digital devices as a subscriber device. However, this device does not have the ability to enter data and obtain information through the touch screen, which seriously limits its functionality. In addition, the identification of users who do not use digital devices is not provided.

None of the existing types of doorphones has a keyboard with a full alphanumeric alphanumeric set. This fact, together with the limited functionality of existing subscriber devices, makes it impossible to organize visitor-subscriber communications by sending written messages.

The problem to which the claimed technical solution is directed is to expand the capabilities of the intercom, use modern digital devices as subscriber units of the intercom, increase the level of security provided by the intercom, simplify installation and maintenance of the intercom, as well as create a local communication system in apartment buildings, suitable not only for solving the task of ensuring the operation of the intercom, but also for use as the basis of the information system for the operation of multi-apartment Foot home.

The solution to this problem is achieved due to the fact that the intercom (1) with a touch screen and wireless connection (Fig. 1) consists of a device for processing, storing and transmitting information (2), an information input / output module (3), a user identification module ( 4), an actuator control module (5) and a subscriber communication module (6), the information input / output module (3) being a touch screen with the output of human-readable information and the ability to enter information directly on the screen by touching, which zuetsya together with a microphone and a speaker for reception and transmission of audio information and may further be equipped with a video camera; user identification module (4) is a unique key identification device (7) in at least one way, biometric information can be used as a unique key; the actuator control module (5) is an electrical switching device for controlling access restriction devices (8), for example, locks and barriers, as well as other service devices, for example, elevators; the subscriber communication module (6) includes at least one wireless digital data transmission device that allows the use of standard digital devices, such as, for example, a smartphone, tablet computer or laptop as subscriber devices (9) for communication and control of the intercom using appropriate software. The intercom (Fig. 2) can also be connected to an Ethernet network (11) and work with subscriber devices (9) via an Ethernet network, and a subscriber communication module can include an interface (10) that converts the signals of the central unit to signals used by wired intercom communication systems with coordinate and digital switching, in the direction of subscribers and in the opposite direction (not shown in the diagram).

In addition to standard digital devices, a specialized wireless communication device with limited functionality can be used as a subscriber device, which allows for two-way communication with an information input-output device and control of executive devices. In addition, the subscriber communication module can be simultaneously used for other purposes, for example, for monitoring metering devices equipped with the corresponding wireless interface or as an independent communication channel. Also, the device can be configured to work in the event of an external power failure. A doorphone option is provided that receives power from renewable energy sources, for example, solar modules and / or wind generators. Using appropriate software allows voice input of data.

The technical result provided by the given set of features is the ability to read and enter information on the screen of the intercom, in which standard digital devices (smartphones, tablet computers, laptops, etc.) are used as external subscriber devices.

The essence of the utility model is illustrated by the attached diagram (Fig. 1). The intercom (1) includes: a device for processing, storage and transmission of information (2), an input / output information module (3), a user identification module (4), an executive device control module (5), a communication module (6); readers of keys or biometric information (7) work with the user identification module (4), the executive device control module (5) works together with the executive devices (8), and the communication module (6) works through the built-in wireless data transmission device, as well as wired intercom system (not shown conventionally) connected via an interface (10). For use in the intercom, subscriber devices are used (9), which are standard digital devices such as smartphones, tablets or laptops that connect to the communication module.

The device operates as follows.

The information input / output module (3) of the intercom (1) is located near the entrance to the entrance of a residential building or office building.

An access control door lock controlled by electrical signals and, if necessary, a barrier, a gate opener, an elevator, a lift for the disabled, etc. are connected to the control module for actuators (5). executive devices (8).

The subscriber communication module (6) is a device for wireless digital data transmission. Via the subscriber module, wireless connections of the intercom with digital devices (9) (smartphones, computers, laptops, etc.) of subscribers - users of the intercom are established.

All modules are structurally combined in one housing.

The visitor, through the touch screen of the information input-output module (3), calls the subscriber he needs. The subscriber receives a call to his digital device (9) and establishes two-way voice or audio-visual communication with the visitor.

If the visitor receives permission to enter, the subscriber submits the appropriate command to the executive device control module (5), as a result, the visitor gets access to the room. Other actuators (8) can also be activated.

Similarly, the system can work with traditional wired subscriber devices, except that communication in this case is provided using the interface (10) connected to the wired network of subscriber devices (not shown in the diagram).

The executive device control module (5) also provides access to the subscribers themselves using the user identification module (4). For identification, one or several methods for identifying a unique key are used (human biometric data can also be used as a unique key): readers of wireless keys (RFID tags) or cards using RFID technology, biometric scanners (fingerprints, iris or retina, etc.) e.), identification through mobile digital devices and others.

When the doorphone is connected to the Ethernet network (11), the subscriber can receive a call and control the device even when not at home, if only his subscriber device (9) is in network access.

The communication module can be used in parallel as an independent communication channel, for example, for building automation systems.
