  The collective entrance machine 1 is connected to the management room base unit 4 via the transmission line L1, the living room base units 3, 3,... Are connected to the management room base unit 4 via the main unit trunk line L2, and the dwelling unit entrance unit 2 transmits. It is connected to the room master unit 3 via a line L3. The security sensor 5 is connected to the living room master unit 3 via a transmission line L4, and the life change sensor 6, the ceiling speaker 8, and the external speaker 9 are connected to the sensor adapter 10 via transmission lines L5, L6, and L7, respectively. . Further, the sensor adapter 10 is connected to the living room master unit 3 by a transmission line L8. Furthermore, the biological monitor device 7 wirelessly transmits the measured pulse and the like to the sensor adapter 10 at a predetermined time interval such as 10 seconds.

  Here, the life abnormality sensor 6 and the biological monitor device 7 will be described in detail. The life change sensor 6 is, for example, a human body detection sensor that detects the movement of a person using infrared rays or the like, a water amount sensor that detects the use status of tap water, a bed sensor that detects the state of a resident in a bed, an electrical device It is comprised from the household appliance operation sensor etc. which detect the operation condition. For example, when a human body detection sensor is installed in a living room, if no movement of a resident is detected for a certain time (for example, 24 hours), it is determined that an abnormality has occurred and an abnormality detection signal is transmitted. Further, when the human body sensor is installed in the toilet, if the presence of a resident is continuously detected over a certain time (for example, 2 hours), it is determined that an abnormality has occurred and an abnormality detection signal is transmitted.

  The water amount sensor determines that an abnormality has occurred when water has been continuously used for a predetermined long time or when it has not been used for a predetermined long time, and sends an abnormality detection signal. The bed sensor detects whether a resident in the bed is in a sleeping state or has not fallen. For example, when a state in which a resident has been sleeping for 20 hours is detected or a fall is detected, an abnormality occurs. Judgment is made and an abnormality detection signal is sent out.

  On the other hand, the biological monitor device 7 is worn by a person (here, a resident) and measures or detects pulse information, posture information of standing position, and prone position, and the measured information is, for example, 10 seconds. Wireless transmission is performed to the sensor adapter 10 at predetermined time intervals.

  FIG. 2 is a circuit block diagram showing the main part of each device shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the dwelling unit entrance unit 2 has a call button 14 for calling a resident, a handset unit 15 having a microphone and a speaker (not shown) for calling the resident, and installed in the dwelling unit. When the detected sensor detects an abnormality, an alarm indicator lamp 16 for displaying the abnormality, a slave unit interface (slave unit IF) 17 for communicating with the living room master unit 3 through the transmission line L3, and the like are provided. Yes.

  Further, the room base unit 3 includes a call button 20 for responding to a call, a base unit call unit 21 having a microphone and a speaker (not shown) for calling with a visitor, operation of a sensor installed in the dwelling unit, and the like. A master unit display unit 22 for displaying various settings, a master unit operation unit 23 for performing various settings, a master unit CPU 24 for controlling the entire room master unit 3, and a master unit first interface for communicating with the management room master unit 4 (parent unit) Machine first IF) 25, parent machine second interface (parent machine second IF) 26 for communicating with dwelling unit entrance machine 2, parent machine sensor interface (parent machine sensor IF) 27 for connecting security sensor 5 and the like are provided. Yes. However, the base unit sensor IF 27 is a transfer contact input unit for inputting an output signal of the sensor or the like.

  The sensor adapter 10 includes an audio memory 29 for storing the announcement audio, a sensor interface (sensor IF) 30 to which the life change sensor 6 is connected, a wireless reception unit 31 for wirelessly receiving a signal from the biological monitor device 7, Communication with the recovery button 32 for resetting the sensor adapter 10 in the information operation state, the speaker interface (speaker IF) 33 for connecting the ceiling speaker 8 and the external speaker 9, the adapter CPU 34 for controlling the entire sensor adapter 10, and the room base unit 3 An adapter interface (adapter IF) 35 and the like are provided.

  The operation of the apartment house intercom system configured as described above is as follows. However, since the calling operation from the collective entrance machine 1 and the response operation by the living room master unit 3 are the same as those in the prior art, the description thereof will be omitted, and here the system when the life change sensor 6 connected to the sensor adapter 10 operates. The operation will be mainly described.

  When the life abnormality sensor 6 detects an abnormality and outputs an abnormality detection signal, it is transmitted to the sensor adapter 10 via the transmission line L5. The adapter CPU 34 that has received this abnormality detection signal via the sensor IF 30 first causes the ceiling speaker 8 to sound an alarm sound. At this time, the adapter CPU 34 selects the announcement voice corresponding to the life abnormality sensor 6 that has detected the abnormality from the voice memory 29 and transmits the announcement voice to the ceiling speaker 8 via the speaker IF 33 and the transmission line L6. Let me know. For example, an announcement “Water quantity sensor has been activated” is reported from the ceiling speaker 8. The announcement voice stored in the voice memory 29 is set when the life abnormality sensor is installed or when the intercom system is constructed.

Further, the adapter CPU 34 starts a timer (not shown) in accordance with the reception of the abnormality detection signal and counts a predetermined time such as 30 seconds. If the abnormality detection signal continues to be received even if the timer counts up, an alarm is issued from the external speaker 9 in addition to the ceiling speaker 8, and the room master 3 via the adapter IF 35 and the transmission line L8. An error occurrence signal is sent to
At this time, the adapter CPU 34 selects and extracts the announcement voice corresponding to the type of the abnormality detection signal from the voice memory 29, and transmits it to the external speaker 9 via the speaker IF 33 and the transmission line L7. Make a report. Here, since the abnormality of the life abnormality sensor 6 is detected, for example, an announcement “A life abnormality sensor has been activated” is reported.

The base unit CPU 24 receives the abnormality occurrence signal transmitted to the room base unit 3 via the base unit second IF 26, and controls the base unit CPU 24 to notify the occurrence of abnormality from the speaker of the base unit call unit 21. The occurrence of abnormality is displayed on the display unit 22. Further, the abnormality occurrence signal transmitted to the living room master unit 3 is transmitted to the dwelling unit 2 via the master unit second IF 26 and the transmission line L3, and the alarm indicator lamp 16 that has received the abnormality occurrence signal via the slave unit IF 17 is received. Emits light.
Further, the abnormality occurrence signal is also transmitted to the management room base unit 4 through the base unit first IF 25 and the base unit trunk line L2, and an alarm is also issued from the management room base unit 4.

  However, if the resident who noticed that the sensor operation was a malfunction and that it was a false alarm before the timer counted up was performed, the adapter CPU 34 detected an abnormality. Stop the signal and abnormality occurrence signal. As a result, reporting from the ceiling speaker 8 stops and the reporting operation ends. In this case, the external speaker 9 and the room master unit 3 do not perform a reporting operation.

As described above, when the life abnormality sensor detects an abnormality, both the ceiling speaker and the external speaker notify the occurrence of the abnormality, so that a nearby resident can easily grasp the occurrence of the abnormality in addition to the resident himself. However, since the external speaker issues a warning after a predetermined time has elapsed since the occurrence of the abnormality, if it is a false alarm, the residents may take measures such as stopping before the external speaker issues the alarm. In addition, it is possible to eliminate false alarms for reports from external speakers, and it is possible to prevent a situation in which extra time is spent on neighboring residents and managers.
In addition, since the living room base unit receives a signal from the sensor adapter using the transfer contact input unit which is an existing terminal, it is not necessary to modify the living room base unit, resulting in an increase in cost.
Furthermore, since the operation contents of the life abnormality sensor are reported by voice, it is possible to quickly recognize what kind of abnormality has occurred, and it is easy to deal with it, and the occurrence of abnormality is also notified from the dwelling unit entrance. Therefore, a nearby resident can recognize the occurrence of an abnormality even in a person whose hearing has declined.

  Next, the operation in the case where the resident's biological information obtained from the biological monitor device 7 shows an abnormal value or an abnormal state will be described. As described above, the sensor adapter 10 obtains information on the occupant's physical condition such as the pulse rate and posture information regarding standing or sleeping from the biological monitor device 7. And from these information, for example, if information such as the pulse clearly deviating from the normal range or the resident staying lying down for a long time is obtained, it is determined that an abnormality has occurred, and an alarm issuance operation is performed. .

  This alarming operation is the same as that in the case of the above life abnormality sensor operation. Specifically, an alarm sound is first sounded by the ceiling speaker 8. At this time, the adapter CPU 34 selects the announcement voice corresponding to the biological monitor device 7 that has detected the abnormality from the voice memory 29 and transmits it to the ceiling speaker 8 to notify the occurrence of the abnormality by voice. For example, an announcement that “the pulse is abnormal” is reported from the ceiling speaker 8.

  Further, the adapter CPU 34 starts a timer (not shown) in accordance with the determination of the occurrence of an abnormality, and counts a predetermined time such as 30 seconds. If information indicating an abnormal state continues to be obtained from the biological monitor device 7 even if the timer counts up, an alarm is issued from the external speaker 9 in addition to the ceiling speaker 8 and the room master 3 An error occurrence signal is sent to At this time, since the information from the biological monitor device 7 indicates an abnormality, the announcement of “an abnormality has occurred in the resident” is reported from the external speaker 9, for example.

  Then, upon receiving the time-up, an abnormality occurrence signal is transmitted toward the room parent unit 3, and the parent unit CPU 24 that has received the abnormality occurrence signal causes the abnormality of the abnormality to be notified from the speaker of the parent unit call unit 21. The occurrence of abnormality is displayed on the display unit 22. Further, an abnormality occurrence signal is transmitted to the management room main unit 4 and an abnormality occurrence signal is also transmitted to the dwelling unit entrance machine 2 through the living room main unit 3 to cause the alarm indicator lamp 16 of the dwelling unit entrance unit 2 to emit light.

  However, in the case of anomaly notification due to a malfunction of the biological monitor device 7, when an alarm stop operation such as the operation of the recovery button 32 is performed by a resident who has noticed that the alarm has occurred before the timer counts up. In this case, the adapter CPU 34 stops reporting from the ceiling speaker 8 at that time and ends the reporting operation. In this case, there is no subsequent notification from the external speaker 9.

  As described above, when the information from the biological monitor device is information indicating an abnormality, the alarm operation is performed in the same manner as in the case of the life abnormality sensor, so that a nearby resident can easily grasp the occurrence of the abnormality. In addition, since the content of the abnormality is reported by voice, it is possible to quickly recognize what kind of abnormality has occurred and easily deal with it.

  When the security sensor 5 operates, an abnormality occurrence signal is transmitted to the living room master unit 3 via the transmission line L4. Upon receiving this signal via the base unit sensor IF 27, the base unit CPU 24 issues an alarm from the speaker of the base unit call unit 21 and simultaneously displays the alarm content on the base unit display unit 22. Further, the alarm indicator lamp 16 of the dwelling unit entrance machine 2 is turned on, and an abnormality occurrence signal is transmitted to the management room base unit 4 so that the management room base unit 4 also performs an alarm issuing operation. In this way, since the security sensor 5 directly transmits the occurrence of an abnormality to the living room master unit 3 and the living room parent machine 3 issues a notification, the life change sensor 9 and the biological monitor device 7 using the sensor adapter 10 communicate with each other. The route is different. Therefore, the sensor on the sensor adapter 10 side can be changed without touching the wiring path on the security sensor 5 side, and the reliability on the security sensor 5 side deteriorates even if the life change sensor 6 or the like is changed. There is no such thing.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the sensor adapter 10 is connected to the transfer contact input part of the living room main | base station 3, you may provide the terminal dedicated to the sensor adapter 10 in the living room main | base station 3, and may connect. By doing so, it is possible to transmit a message sound to be reported from the ceiling speaker 8 or the external speaker 9 to the living room base unit 3, and notify the room base unit or the management room base unit of the specific contents of the occurrence of the abnormality. It becomes possible.

It is a block diagram which shows an example of embodiment of the apartment house intercom system which concerns on this invention. It is the block diagram which showed the principal part of each apparatus of FIG. 1 with the circuit block.
