  The operation of the apartment house intercom system configured as described above will be described below. Since the call from the collective entrance machine 1 by the visitor, the call between the collective entrance machine 1 and the living room base unit 3 performed in response to this call, the operation of unlocking the automatic door, etc. are the same as in the prior art. The operation when the administrator transmits a message to the resident will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.

  When the touch panel 21 of the management room base unit 5 is operated to enter a room number or the like to specify a message transmission destination and a message transmission button (not shown) is pressed, the controller CPU 40 as a message transmission means of the controller 4. Adds the room ID to the message notification signal for notifying that the message is transmitted, and transmits the message to the room base unit 3 (S1). Then, the control unit CPU 40 determines whether the target room base unit 3 is in a call with the entrance unit 2 (or creating a message for the family) from the returned signal (S2), and is in a call with the collective entrance unit 1. It is determined whether it is present (S3) or not, that is, whether it is in a standby state.

  If it is determined from the reply signal that it is in the standby state, the controller CPU 40 controls the communication path forming unit 39 to form a communication path between the management room master 5 and the identified room master 3. In the room base unit 3 that has received the message notification signal, the base unit CPU 34 stores the message notification signal in the notification memory 31 and starts recording the message in the recording memory 29.

Then, the controller CPU 40 outputs a message recording start signal to the management room master 5, and the administrator records the message. The message transmitted from the management room base unit 5 is recorded in the recording memory 29 of the room base unit 3 (S8). Thereafter, when the message transmission is finished, the communication path is blocked.
When the message is transmitted and recorded in the room master unit 3, the room master unit 3 is reproduced by a predetermined message reproduction operation. For example, when a play button on the touch panel 19 is pressed (S9), a message recorded in the recording memory 29 is reported from the speaker 27 (S10), and the resident can grasp the message content.

Next, a case where the identified living room parent device 3 is in a call with the entrance child device 2 or a case where the living room parent device 3 is recording a message to the family will be described.
When the base unit 3 is in a call with the entrance unit 2, the base unit CPU 34 of the base unit 3 receives the message notification signal from the management room base unit 5 during a call with the entrance unit 2 and stores it in the notification memory 31. A message notification signal is recorded (S4), and a recording disable signal is output to the controller 4. Further, the communication with the entrance cordless handset 2 is maintained without outputting the communication path forming signal to the dwelling unit adapter 6.

The controller 4 stores the message transmitted from the management room master 5 in response to the recording disabled signal in the controller memory 41 without transmitting it to the living room master 3 (S5). In this storage operation, a recording start signal is transmitted from the control unit 4 to the management room master unit 5 so that the manager can record the message, and the message transmitted from the management room base unit 5 is controlled. Stored in the machine memory 41.
Then, when the recording of the message is completed, the controller 4 adds this recording information to the room ID by adding the storage location (address) to the room ID.

  On the other hand, the base unit CPU 34 of the room base unit 3 that has finished a call with the front door unit 2 receives the message notification signal stored in the notification memory 31 and notifies the presence of a message by blinking the LED 32 or the like. As a result, the resident can recognize that the message transmission has been performed, and perform confirmation operation (S6) on the touch panel 19 or the like, thereby storing the message in the controller memory 41 of the controller 4 based on the transmitted storage location information. The stored message can be taken out and reproduced (S7) to grasp the contents.

  The same applies to the case where the identified room master unit 3 is recording a message to a resident such as a family, and the master unit CPU 34 of the room base unit 3 sends a message notification signal from the management room base unit 5 during message creation. Is received, the message notification signal is recorded in the notification memory 31 (S4), and a recording disable signal is output to the controller 4. And a message production | generation operation | movement is continued, without outputting a communication path formation signal with respect to the dwelling unit adapter 6. FIG. Receiving the recording disable signal, the controller 4 stores the message transmitted from the management room master 5 in the controller memory 41 without transmitting it to the living room master 3 (S5).

When recording of the message is completed, the controller 4 adds the recording location (address) to the room ID and transmits the recorded information to the corresponding room master 3. On the other hand, in the room base unit 3 that has finished the call with the front door unit 2, the base unit CPU 34 notifies the presence of a message by blinking the LED 32 based on the message notification signal stored in the notification memory 31.
Accordingly, the resident can recognize that there is a message, and by performing a confirmation operation (S6) on the touch panel 19 or the like, the message stored in the controller memory 41 of the controller 4 is extracted based on the transmitted storage location information. Can be reproduced (S7) and the contents can be grasped.

  Next, a case where the identified room master 3 is in a call with the collective entrance 1 will be described. When receiving the message notification signal from the management room parent device 5 during a call with the collective entrance device 1, the parent device CPU 34 of the living room parent device 3 records the message notification signal in the notification memory 31 (S4) and controls the recording disabled signal. Output to machine 4. The controller 4 stores in the controller memory 41 a message transmitted from the management room master 5 in response to the recording disabled signal (S5). In this storage operation, a recording start signal is transmitted from the control unit 4 to the management room master unit 5 so that the manager can record the message, and the message transmitted from the management room base unit 5 is controlled. Stored in the machine memory 41.

When recording of the message is completed, the controller 4 adds the recording location (address) to the room ID and transmits the recorded information to the corresponding room master 3. Further, in the room base unit 3 that has finished the call with the front door unit 2, the base unit CPU 34 notifies the presence of a message by blinking the LED 32 or the like based on the message notification signal stored in the notification memory 31.
As a result, the resident can recognize that there is a message, and if a confirmation operation (S6) is performed on the touch panel 19 or the like, the message stored in the controller memory 41 of the controller 4 is retrieved and reproduced based on the transmitted storage location information. (S7) and the contents can be grasped.

  In this way, if the message cannot be recorded in the room master unit, the control unit records it and notifies the room base unit that the message has been transmitted. The resident recognizes that the message transmission operation has been performed, even if the parent machine is in use to leave a message for the family, or even if it is in a call with the central entrance. Yes, the message can be played back by the parent machine, and the contents of the message can be grasped without contacting the manager. In addition, since the address information in which the message is stored is transmitted to the living room master unit, the resident can take out the message and grasp the contents only by pressing the message playback button, for example, without performing a special operation. . Therefore, even if the manager of the message transmission destination is in use, the administrator only needs to perform a single message transmission operation and does not need to perform the message transmission operation again.

In the above embodiment, when the message cannot be recorded in the recording memory 29 of the room master unit 3, the recording is performed using the controller memory 41 of the controller 4. Regardless of whether recording is possible or not, recording may be performed in the controller memory 41. In this case, the contents of the message can be grasped without inquiring the manager from the room base unit 3 that has deleted the message by mistake, as well as the room base unit 3 that could not be recorded. This configuration is particularly suitable when the recording memory 29 of the living room base unit 3 is composed of a removable memory such as an SD card, which may cause a problem that makes recording difficult.
In addition to the LED 32, the presence of a message may be notified by voice using the speaker 27, and the message storage location when the recording cannot be performed by the living room base unit 3 may be performed by the management room base unit 5 itself.
