  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of the nurse call master unit 1 of FIG. 1, which communicates with the control unit 3 via a base unit / control unit communication IF (Interface) 11 to control the base unit / control. The machine communication IF 11 is connected via a parent machine CPU 10 to a parent machine display unit 12 using a liquid crystal or the like, a parent machine operation unit 13 such as a button type or a touch panel type, and a parent machine notification unit 14 such as a speaker.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of the controller 3 of FIG. 1, which communicates with the nurse call master unit 1 via the nurse call master unit communication IF 31 and communicates with the corridor lamp 4. These IFs are performed via the communication IF 32, and these IFs are connected to the outing prohibition alarm information storage unit 33, outing prohibition time zone information storage unit 34, and outing prohibition call delay time information storage unit 35 via the controller CPU 30. ing.

  Here, the out-of-going alarm information is information for notifying the patient or the nurse center that the patient is prohibited from going out, and the out-of-going time zone information is that the out-of-going time of the patient is only at a specific time. This is information for notifying that it is restricted. Further, the out-call prohibition call delay time information is a predetermined time, for example, a time of 1 minute is set in advance as a grace time in order to determine whether or not the patient has gone out, and the patient who has gone out This is information for notifying the nurse call master device of an alarm when it does not return to the hospital room within the predetermined time.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of the corridor lamp 4 shown in FIG. 1. Communication with the controller 3 is performed via the corridor lamp / controller communication IF 41, and wireless communication with the RFID tag 7 is performed using ID information.

  When the ID information receiving unit 42 receives the ID information, the corridor lamp CPU 40 transmits the ID information to the communication cable L2 via the corridor lamp / controller communication IF 41, and the controller CPU 30 of the controller 3 transmits the corridor lamp from the communication cable L2. The ID information is received via the communication IF 32.

  The controller CPU 30 collates the patient outing prohibition alarm information registered in advance in the outing prohibition alarm information storage unit 33 with the ID information received from the corridor lamp 4. Further, the controller CPU 30 collates the out-of-going time zone information of the patient registered in advance in the out-of-going time zone information storage unit 34 with the ID information received from the corridor lamp 4. As a result of the verification, if the patient is prohibited from going out and the time when the patient has gone out coincides with the time when the patient is out, the matching signal is transmitted from the corridor lamp communication IF 32 to the corridor lamp CPU 40 of the corridor lamp 4. The data is transmitted in the reverse procedure from when information is acquired.

  The corridor lamp CPU 40 of the corridor lamp 4 that has received the coincidence signal notifies the patient that the corridor lamp notifying unit 44 is prohibited from going out, and displays on the corridor lamp display unit 45 that the patient is prohibited from going out. In this case, the out-of-going time zone information of the patient is also notified and displayed.

  In addition, it may be assumed that the patient returns to the hospital room for a short time after leaving the hospital room for some reason. However, when the patient returns in a very short time, it is not determined that the patient has gone out, and the patient truly goes out. The grace time (for example, about 1 minute) until it is determined that the call has been made is registered in advance in the out-call prohibition call delay time information storage unit 35 as a predetermined time. Then, when the patient goes out, the controller CPU 30 of the controller 3 receives the patient's out-of-call prohibition call delay time information registered in advance in the out-of-call prohibition call delay time information storage unit 35 and the ID information received from the corridor lamp 4. If the information matches that the patient is a patient registered in the out-call prohibition call delay time zone information storage unit and the patient has not returned within the set predetermined time. Determines that the patient has truly gone out, and transmits the coincidence signal to the communication cable L1 via the nurse call master unit communication IF31.

  The parent CPU 10 of the nurse call parent device 1 receives the coincidence signal from the communication cable L1 via the parent device / controller communication IF 11. The master CPU 10 informs the nurse that the patient who is prohibited from going out is notified by the master notification unit 14.

  Further, the out-of-going prohibition time zone information stored in the out-of-going prohibition time zone information storage unit 34 of the controller 3 and the out-of-going prohibition call delay time information stored in the out-of-going prohibition call delay time information storage unit 35 are stored in the controller CPU 30. Is transmitted to the communication cable L1 via the nurse call master unit communication IF31, and the master unit CPU 10 of the nurse call master unit 1 transmits out prohibition time zone information and out prohibition call delay time information via the master unit / control unit communication IF11. Is displayed on the base unit display unit 12.

  By the way, when newly setting the out-going prohibition time zone information and the out-going prohibition call delay time information, the base unit operation unit 13 sets these information anew. The newly set out prohibition time zone information and out prohibition call delay time information are transmitted to the controller CPU 30 of the controller 3 in the reverse procedure to the case where the information is notified or displayed, and newly set. The out-of-going prohibition time zone information is stored in the out-of-going prohibition time zone information storage unit 34, and the newly set out-going prohibition call delay time information is stored in the out-of-going prohibition call delay time information storage unit 35.

  The ID information receiving unit 42 of the corridor lamp 4 may also notify the parent device notification unit 14 of the nurse call parent device when the ID information stored in the RFID tag 7 is wirelessly received.
