A controller memory 41 that stores notification availability information, which will be described later, a controller controller 42 that controls communication between the devices and controls the controller 4, and the like.

The controller memory 41 stores notification availability information set in the management room master unit 3. This is setting information as to whether or not the management room base unit 3 receives an emergency call button operation signal (call notification signal) sent from the room base unit 2. When the call notification signal is transmitted from the master unit 2, the controller control unit 42 transmits this signal to the management room master unit 3. However, if the notification is set to be impossible, the control unit 42 receives the call notification signal. Do not send to base unit 3 or other devices.
This is a setting for maintaining the notification operation of the emergency signal with the highest degree of urgency and not performing any other notification notification operation in the control room master unit 3. It is used to reduce the burden on the manager. This setting is set from the management room master unit 3.

  The operation of the apartment house intercom system configured as described above is as follows. Note that calling / calling between the devices of the central entrance machine 1, the living room master machine 2, and the management room master machine 3 is the same as in the prior art, so the explanation is omitted. Here, the emergency detection sensor 6 and the emergency call button 7 are provided. The operation of each device when operated is described.

When the emergency detection sensor 6 operates, an emergency detection signal is transmitted to the room master unit 2. When the emergency detection signal is a signal from the fire detector, the room master unit control unit 27 that has received the emergency detection signal via the sensor unit 28 reads the related display information from a storage unit (not shown), for example, “ “Fire has occurred” is displayed on the display unit 21. At the same time, a predetermined alarm sound is reported from the loudspeaker 25 via the voice synthesis circuit 26 and the speaker amplifier 24 to notify the family and the like.
Further, an emergency generation signal including emergency source information such as the room ID information of the transmitting room and fire detector operation information and gas detector operation information is generated and transmitted to the controller 4 via the communication circuit 23. Send.

  The controller 4 that has received the emergency occurrence signal transmits the emergency occurrence signal to the management room master unit 3 under the control of the controller control unit 42. Upon receipt of this signal, the management room base unit 3 reads the related display information from the storage unit (not shown) based on the base unit ID information and emergency type information contained in the emergency occurrence signal. For example, “a fire has occurred in the room 201” is displayed on the display unit 31. At the same time, a predetermined warning sound is reported from the loudspeaker 35 and notified to an administrator or the like.

When the emergency call button 7 is operated, the operation is as follows. When the resident suddenly loses physical condition in the toilet or bus and presses the emergency call button 7, an emergency call signal (abnormality notification signal) is sent to the parent room 2. Upon receiving this emergency call signal via the sensor unit 28, the room master unit control unit 27 reads out display information related to the emergency call signal from a storage unit (not shown), and displays, for example, “Emergency call from toilet”. Displayed on the unit 21. At the same time, a predetermined notification sound (emergency ringing tone) is reported from the loudspeaker 25 via the voice synthesis circuit 26 and the speaker amplifier 24 to notify the family or the like.
Further, the room master unit control unit 27 generates a call notification signal including the room master unit ID information and the notification type information indicating the emergency call button operation, and transmits the call notification signal to the controller 4 via the communication circuit 23.

The controller 4 that has received the call notification signal is controlled by the controller controller 42 in accordance with the notification availability information stored in the controller memory 41. When the notification enable / disable information is set to disable notification, the call notification signal is not transmitted to the management room master unit 3. Therefore, the management room base unit 3 does not report an emergency ringing tone and does not display information related to the display unit 31.
On the other hand, if notification is enabled, a call notification signal is transmitted to the management room master unit 3. Upon receiving this signal, the management room base unit 3 controls the management room base unit control unit 37 to generate a predetermined emergency ringing sound from the loudspeaker 35, and the room base unit ID information and notification included in the call notification signal. Based on the type information, the base unit information such as “emergency call occurred in room 201” is displayed on the display unit 31.

  Next, a description will be given of an operation in the case where the room master unit 2 in a state in which an emergency ringing tone is sounded in a state in which notification is disabled is set to receive a call operation. Even if the emergency call button 7 is operated and the emergency call sound is sounded, the management room master 3 is not notified of the room master unit 2 that is set not to be notified, so that the case may be called. In this case, the operation is as follows.

When a call is made from the management room base 3 to the room base 2 where the emergency ringing sound is ringing, a call signal is transmitted to the room base 2 via the controller 4. However, since the room master 2 gives priority to the sounding of the alarm sound over the calling operation, it does not transition to the calling state. Instead, the room master control unit 27 generates a call impossible signal and sends it back. This call disabling signal includes the room master unit ID information and the notification type information as with the call notification signal.
The management room base unit 3 that has received this call disabling signal displays on the display unit 31 under the control of the management room base unit control unit 37, for example, “Emergency call button has been operated in room 205”. Information and that the emergency call button 7 has been operated are displayed. In addition, a predetermined alarm sound indicating that calling is impossible is reported from the loudspeaker 35 via the voice synthesis circuit 36 and the speaker amplifier 34.

  On the other hand, when a call is made from the main entrance machine 1 to the room master unit 2 where the emergency ringing sound is ringing, the room master unit 2 calls the management room base unit 3 in the same manner as the call from the management room base unit 3. A disabling signal is transmitted, the reason why the calling operation is not performed is displayed on the display unit 31, and an alarm sound is also reported.

As described above, when a call operation is performed from the central entrance or the management room base unit to the room base unit that is calling the emergency ringing (reporting ringing) or alarming, it is impossible to call the control room base unit. You are notified. Therefore, even if the management room base unit does not ring the notification in conjunction with the room base unit, the management room base unit can recognize that the room base unit is not currently accepting calls. Misunderstandings such as a malfunction of the master unit in the room are eliminated.
In addition, if the room master unit that received the call cannot be called because the alarm is sounding, the notification type information is notified by the control room base unit, so the specific reason why the call cannot be made can be recognized by the control room base unit. Is easy to deal with.

Thus, since the management room base unit 3 is notified that the room base unit 2 is ringing, the manager who has recognized the state of the room base unit 2 stops the ringing of the room base unit 2. Can do. Specifically, it is managed by an administrator or the like who has recognized that the calling party base unit 2 is ringing the emergency ringing tone (reporting ringing) by the display on the display unit 31 of the management unit base unit 3 or the report sound. When a predetermined operation is performed on the operation unit 30 of the room base unit 3, for example, the “#” button is pressed twice, the management room base unit control unit 37 transmits a ringing stop signal to the room base unit 2.
In the room master unit 2 that has received this ringing stop signal via the controller 4, the room base unit control unit 27 stops ringing of the emergency ringing tone and returns to the standby state.

  Thus, the notification ringing operation of the living room parent device can be stopped by the operation of the management room parent device. After the manager knows the status of the room master unit, it is not necessary to continue the notification operation of the room base unit, so the notification operation can be easily stopped without going out to the related dwelling unit, which is convenient. .

Even if the notification disabled setting is made, the emergency call button 7 is not operated and the room base unit 2 is in a standby state, it can be called as usual and a call can be performed.
In the above embodiment, the notification operation is shown in the management room master unit 3, but when the calling operation is performed from the central entrance machine 1, the notification operation is also performed in the central entrance unit 1 in addition to the management room base unit 3. May be.
Furthermore, although the case where the signal to stop the notification to the management room master unit 3 is the emergency call button 7 has been described by setting the notification disabled, the security sensor such as the human sensor or the window sensor, and the usage status of the water supply are also described. The present invention can be easily applied to a case where a life change sensor such as a water amount sensor to be detected operates, and similarly, the burden on the manager can be reduced.
In addition, the notification availability may be set individually for each room master unit 2 and may be easily implemented by storing the settings for each room base unit 2 in the controller 4. By doing so, for example, the setting can be changed between a single-person household and a multi-family household, and a setting according to the resident's wish is possible.
In addition, the call disable signal is generated and returned by the room master unit 2, but can be generated and returned by the controller 4 that has received the call disable signal.

It is a block diagram which shows an example of the apartment house intercom system which concerns on this invention.
