Moreover, the collective entrance machine 1 and the controller 2 are connected, and the controller 2 is connected to each living room parent machine 3. Furthermore, an IP conversion adapter 4 is connected to the living room master unit 3.

  As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 2, the living room master unit 3 is connected to the general-purpose network 6, and the master unit information is notified via the general-purpose network 6 to other parent units in the same group to which the own master unit belongs. A parent device information notifying unit 31 and another parent device information receiving unit 32 for receiving parent device information from another parent device in the same group to which the own parent device belongs. It is connected. In addition, the adapter connection unit 34 connected to the IP conversion adapter 4 for processing the audio signal and the call from the collective entrance machine 1 are transferred and notified to other room base units in the group via the general-purpose network 6. Is provided with a call transfer notification unit 35 for connection to the parent CPU 33. Further, a controller-side transmitting / receiving unit 36 that performs calling with the controller 2 and transmitting / receiving voice signals is provided, and is connected to the parent CPU 33.

  The controller 2 is connected to the general-purpose network 6 and includes a system information notification unit 21 and a controller for notifying security information managed by the controller CPU 23 to other controllers in the same group to which the controller itself belongs. Other system information receiving units 22 are provided for receiving security information transmitted from other controllers in the same group to which the group belongs and sending it to the controller CPU 23, and each is connected to the controller CPU 23. In addition, a collective entrance side transmitter / receiver 24 that performs calling with the collective entrance 1 and transmission / reception of audio signals is provided, and further, a master side transmit / receive unit 25 that performs calls with the living room base unit 3 and transmits / receives audio signals. Are respectively connected to the controller CPU 23.

  Further, the management server 5 is connected to a management table 51 in which group information is stored in advance and the general-purpose network 6, and the IP address information assigned to the group information and stored in the management table is assigned to the room base unit corresponding to the group information. A group information notification unit 52 for notifying the control device via the general-purpose network 6, and a management server transmission / reception unit 54 for transmitting and receiving signals from the living room base unit 3 and the control unit 2 are provided. The management table 51, the group information notification unit 52, and the management server transmission / reception unit 54 are each connected to the management server CPU 53.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the management table 51 stores members and their IP addresses for each group. For example, Family A owns Room 303 of Property 1 and Room 404 of Property 2, and groups these two rooms. Similarly, Company B groups Property 1, Room 505, Property 2, Room 606, and Property 3, Room 202. Furthermore, the C management group groups the control units of property 1, property 2, and property 3 respectively. An IP address is assigned to each property of each group for each property.

  The operation of the apartment house intercom system having such a configuration will be described below. Descriptions of operations such as calling from a visitor, sending and receiving of signals accompanying a resident's response, and unlocking, which are normal operations of the apartment house intercom system, are omitted.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation in the apartment house intercom system of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 described above, for example, the controller 2 of the property 1 is assigned to the management server 5 via the general-purpose network 6 from the system information notification unit 21 when the IP address is changed. And the room number and the changed IP address. The management server 5 stores the notified information in the management table 51.

  On the other hand, the group information notification unit 52 of the management server 5 detects the group in which the management table 51 has been changed via the management server CPU 53 and notifies the controller 2 of the property 1 and property 2 belonging to the group. . The controller 2 of the property 1 and the property 2 receives the notified information from the other system information receiving unit 22 and grasps the change of the IP address of the device belonging to the group. Thereby, the property 2 can receive the data (group information) of the controller of the property 1 belonging to the same group without going through the management server. Therefore, the load on the management server is reduced, and even if the group configuration or IP address changes, the change can be immediately reflected in the same group.

  In the above description, the control unit has been described. However, in the case of a living room base unit, the system information notification unit 21 and the other system information reception unit 22 are connected to the base unit information notification unit 31 and the other base unit information reception unit 32, respectively. It will be replaced and work.

  As an example, let us consider a case where property 1 (room 303) and property 2 (room 404) are registered in the A family group as shown in FIG. When the A Family Group owns Room 303 of Property 1 and Room 404 of Property 2, and the family members are in each of them (for example, the parent generation in Property 1 and the child generation in Property 2), When a call is made from the first collective entrance 1 to the property 1 (room 303), the property 2 (room 404) is also notified that the call has been made. At this time, if the property 1 and the property 2 are linked to the IP conversion adapter 4, the voice signal can be digitally converted to make a call in the property 2 (room 404). That is, when a call is made from the visitor to the property 1, the visitor can call the resident of the property 2 when the resident of the property 1 is absent and the resident of the property 2 is at home.

  In the mode in which the security setting is shared by the group, if the crime prevention or unlocking setting is changed in the property 1 (room 303), the setting is reflected in the property 2 (room 404). Moreover, when the recording information acquisition operation of the terminal in the group is performed in the room master unit 3 of the property 1 (room 303), the recorded data of the property 2 (room 404) can be reproduced. Such an operation is the same for each property in the B company group.

  Next, consider a case where property 1 (control device), property 2 (control device), property 3 (control device) is registered in the C management group. When a fire occurs in the living room where the property 1 is located, the property 1 (control device) detects the fire and notifies the property 2 (control device) and the property 3 (control device). If Property 2 and Property 3 are judged to be in danger as well as Property 2 and Property 3, neighboring property fire information is issued to all living rooms of Property 2 and Property 3, and the respective entrance doors are unlocked. Make it easy to evacuate.

  On the other hand, for example, when the property 1 and the property 2 are close to each other and the property 2 and the property 3 are separated, the property 3 is not in danger after the fire information is notified from the property 1 to the property 2 and the property 3 When it is determined that only the property 2 can be unlocked, it is possible to make it easier to evacuate.
