Abstract

The door entry system has a speech activated resident search function. When a match is found the visitor and resident are connected by public telephone. The door entry plate is made up of a door mounted unit with an internal telephone connected to the public telephone network. There is a speech activated resident search function which connects the visitor and the resident.

Description

The present invention relates to a building plate for placing

  visitors in relation to the residents of the building.

  The reception of visitors is organized differently from one building to another, depending on the plate installed on the front of the building: * either the visitor-resident connection is possible, or following the installation of a dedicated cabling and intercom system, or through the public telephone network. In both cases, it is necessary to manually search for the resident's name, either in a list of names (as many call buttons as there are names), or by scrolling the names on an electronic screen on the board.

  * or the connection between visitors and residents is not planned. It is therefore imperative that the visitor knows the building access code.

  The invention enables visitors-residents to be connected in buildings without an intercom. The invented board allows: ò the visitor to search for the resident's name by voice recognition (by saying his name), using voice recognition technology. The system, after recognizing the name of the resident in the building directory (managed at the level of the centralized vocal server) and after having obtained confirmation from the visitor that it is the right person, carries out the connection .

  * then connecting the visitor and the resident through the public telephone network, the resident can then trigger the opening of the door of the building from his telephone set.

  The plate is offered in two versions * a basic version, where the plate is a simple additional box added in addition to the existing box (ex: coded keyboard), above or below it (installation cost the most reduced), where only the resident's voice recognition and call features are included. In this configuration, the board therefore comes down to the metallic and resistant covering of a telephone without a keyboard connected to the public network, with a single speaker (for transmission and reception), and comprising only 2 buttons: 1 call, 1 cancellation.

  It is by this call button that you access the voice recognition function, thanks to a centralized voice server, which is not located in the building. The cancel button allows, if necessary, to interrupt the search by voice recognition.

  The wiring for the circuit board is limited to 2 wires for the connection of the telephone line, 2 wires for its electrical supply, 2 wires for the supply of the strike.

  * an extended version, where we find on the same plate, in addition to the functionalities of the basic version, those traditional of access control for the residents themselves (access codes, access badge, keys access, ...).

  The invention is particularly intended for apartment buildings and office buildings.
