  Next, the operation of the apartment house intercom system configured as described above will be described. However, the visitor operates the operation means 12 of the collective entrance machine 1 to call a specific resident, responds by the called room master unit 2, and further operates the room base unit 2 to open an automatic door (not shown). Since the operation such as the unlocking operation is the same as the conventional one, the description thereof is omitted. Further, since the call between the management room base unit 3 and the room base unit 2 is the same as the conventional one, the description thereof will be omitted, and the proxy call operation by the management room base unit 3 will be described.

  First, it is assumed that there is a manager room where the management room master unit 3 is installed facing the entrance where the collective entrance machine 1 is installed, and a visitor and a manager can communicate with each other. Usually, the manager room of a housing complex is arranged facing a collective entrance such as a lobby so that visitors can be seen from the manager room. Therefore, the manager and the visitor are in a state where they can talk without difficulty.

  In the apartment house constructed in this way, the manager in the management room recognizes that a visitor who has luggage, such as a courier, has entered the collective entrance, and it is difficult for the visitor to call If there is, you will be asked verbally which room you want to call. Then, for example, when a visitor responds ("Room 501 is"), the manager prompts the visitor to wait as it is, and instead performs a proxy call operation for that room. FIG. 5 is a table showing the flow of the proxy call operation, which will be described below based on this figure.

  When the administrator picks up the handset 25 of the management room base unit 3, an operation button including a proxy call button (not shown) is displayed on the touch panel as the operation means 27 (S1 in FIG. 5). When the proxy call button is selected and operated from this display (S2 in FIG. 5), the proxy call guidance display is displayed on the operation means 27, and at the same time, the control room master CPU 29 as the proxy call signal generating means A proxy call signal that informs the user of the above is transmitted to the controller 4, and the controller CPU 37 of the controller 4 recognizes it.

  Next, a collective entrance machine selection button (not shown) for selecting the collective entrance machine 1 is displayed on the management room base unit 3, and one of the two collective entrance machines 1 and 1 is closer to the visitor by the manager. Is selected (S3). Subsequently, by operating a room selection button such as a numeric keypad displayed on the touch panel, “501” is input in order to specify the room master unit of the room 501. In response to this operation, the management room base unit CPU 29 transmits a selection signal (collection entrance machine selection signal, room selection signal) to the control unit 4, and the control unit CPU 37 of the control unit 4 selects the selected collection entrance unit 1. The room number transmitted from the management room base unit 3 is transmitted to the collective entrance machine 1 recognized by the ID storage unit 31 and the ID collation unit 32. In response to this signal, the collective entrance CPU 16 serving as a call notification control means for the collective entrance 1 displays the room number selected in conjunction with the display of the management room master unit 3 on the room number display unit 11 (FIG. 5). S4).

Finally, when a call button (not shown) is operated, the management room base unit CPU 29 transmits a proxy call signal to the control unit 4, and the display of the management room base unit 3 disappears (S5 in FIG. 5). Upon receiving the proxy call signal from the management room master unit 3, the controller CPU 37 serving as the communication path control means assigns the collective entrance machine ID that notifies the call from the collective entrance machine 1, and is selected 501. A call signal is sent to the room base unit 2 in the room number (a call signal assigned with a call destination room base unit ID is transmitted to the room base unit) and a call confirmation sound signal is transmitted to the collective entrance unit 1.
The ringing sound is reported in the room base unit 2 of the “room 501” that has received the call. On the other hand, the collective entrance CPU 16 of the collective entrance 1 that has received the call confirmation sound signal from the controller 4 causes the call confirmation sound to sound from the speaker 14 which is a sound reporting means. Thus, when the calling operation is performed (when the handset is placed), the management room master unit 3 returns to the standby state.

In addition, the controller CPU 37 activates the camera 18 in response to the ringing sound of the collective entrance machine 1. The video signal of the camera 18 that has started imaging is transmitted to the living room master unit 2 through the control unit 4 under the control of the collective entrance machine CPU 16 and is output on the monitor of the living room host unit 2 in the “501” room.
Thus, when the resident who notices the call operates the room master unit 2, a call path is connected to the collective entrance machine 1, and a call can be made between the visitor and the resident.

In this way, when a courier with a baggage holding person or a blind visitor visits a resident, the manager operates the control room main unit to call a call signal from the central entrance Can be generated by proxy, so that a visitor can talk with a resident at the central entrance without performing a call operation. Therefore, the visitor can call the resident and make a call without having to change his / her baggage or request an operation from another person to operate the entrance hall.
In addition, when multiple entrance halls are connected, the administrator can select and connect to the entrance hall that the visitor wants to use, so the visitor can talk to the resident using the nearest entrance hall. it can.
Furthermore, even if the visitor does not perform the call operation by himself / herself, the room number is displayed and the ringing tone is notified, so that the call situation can be grasped and the response can be waited in peace.

In the above embodiment, a case is described in which a plurality of (two) collective entrance machines 1 are installed. However, if there is only one collective entrance machine 1, the collective entrance machine 1 is selected when calling by proxy. No need to operate. Further, the display of the room number display section 11 of the collective entrance 1 is sequentially displayed for each operation of “5”, “0”, and “1” when “501” is operated in the management room master unit 3. However, “501” after the call operation may be displayed. In addition, the call confirmation sound that is reported by the collective entrance machine 1 may be provided with a voice ROM provided in the collective entrance machine 1 to report a prestored sound or voice.
Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the management room base unit 3 is an operation means using a touch panel, but is not limited thereto. For example, when the room base unit 3 is called by a numeric keypad operation after hooking up the handset, It is possible to make a call from the management room base unit 3 so that when the room base unit 2 is called by a numeric keypad operation with the handset hooked off, a proxy call can be set.
