  The present invention relates to a common entrance machine of a collective intercom apparatus installed in a condominium or the like, and more particularly to a common entrance machine having a touch panel type display operation unit. Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the first invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1A is a basic block diagram of a common entrance machine according to the first aspect of the present invention.
The common entrance machine 1 has a touch panel constituting the display operation unit 10, and the numeric keys 11 are displayed in a predetermined arrangement order in the numeric keypad display section 10 a of the display operation unit 10. In connection with the first aspect of the present invention, the common entrance machine 1 includes a display setting unit 12 that automatically sets and changes the display position of the numeric keypad display section 10a in the display operation unit 10 according to a program prepared in advance. In order to reflect the setting change in the display operation unit 10, the common entrance machine 1 initializes the display operation unit 10 a when detecting a visitor, and displays the numeric keypad display section at the display position designated by the display setting unit 12. A display control unit 13 for displaying 10a is provided. The visitor may be detected by the camera 15a, by a human sensor (not shown), or by touching the display operation unit 10 that is turned off.

  As the touch panel, a resistance film type or a capacitance type is widely known, but any touch panel can be used. The resistive film method is a mechanism in which two transparent electrode films are arranged on the surface of the panel with a slight gap, and when the panel is pressed, the electrode films come into contact with each other and electricity flows to detect touch. is there. On the other hand, the electrostatic capacity method is a mechanism in which a single transparent electrode film is arranged on the surface of the panel, and a change in electrostatic capacity when a finger touches the panel is detected.

  Other components, that is, an operation detection unit 14 for detecting an operation on the display operation unit 10, a video processing unit 15 having a camera 15a, a sound processing unit 16 having a speaker 16a and a microphone 16b, are basically the same as a conventional joint entrance machine. Common to The communication unit 17 is an element for transmitting a control signal and an audio signal to and from the control device of the collective intercom device.

  The numeric keypad section 10a is a section in which the numeric keypad 11, that is, the “1”-“0” key, the “*” key, and the “erase” key are displayed. In FIG. Yes. The reference coordinates of the numeric keypad display section 10a may be placed at the upper left corner of the area. The numeric keys 11 are arranged and displayed in the horizontal direction in a predetermined order, for example, ascending order in the numeric key display section 10a.

  The display setting unit 12 holds display position values (reference coordinates) of the numeric keypad display section 10a, the guidance display section 10b, and the call key display section 10c, and automatically sets the display position of the numeric keypad display section 10a according to a program prepared in advance. Change. The call key display section 10c is a section in which the “call” key 19 is displayed, and the guidance display section 10b is a section in which operation guidance, an input room number, and the like are displayed. These compartment frames may be visible or invisible.

  The display position of the numeric keypad display section 10a is basically changed randomly by a program, but is not limited thereto, and may be moved along a predetermined trajectory by a program. In short, when the display operation unit 10 is initialized, the display position of the numeric keypad display section 10a may not be easily estimated by an outsider. For example, while not detecting a visitor, the numeric keypad display section 10a (that is, the entire numeric keypad) is continuously moved in a random trajectory on the display operation unit 10 like a certain screen saver, It may be configured to stop the movement at the time of detection.

  The timing for setting and changing the display position of the numeric keypad display section 10a and the like may be set periodically. For example, every time a series of operations by a visitor or a resident, such as a call operation specifying a room number, is considered first, but every time a predetermined time elapses or every time a predetermined time is reached .

  When the display position of the numeric keypad display section 10a is changed by the display setting unit 12, the timing when the change is reflected in the display of the display operation unit 10 is detected by the display control unit 13 by detecting the visitor. It is good to limit it at the time of initialization. In other words, while the visitor is operating the display operation unit 10, the position change of the numeric keypad 11 may be prohibited.

  If the reference coordinates of the numeric keypad display section 10a are held by the display setting unit 12 or changed and set, the display control unit 13 reads the values when the display operation unit 10 is initialized. Easy to implement. The initialization of the display operation unit 10 refers to a process of turning on the display operation unit 10 and redisplaying the numeric keypad display section 10a and the guidance display section 10b at the display position instructed by the display setting unit 12. In the processing, the numeric keypad 11 is further displayed in the numeric keypad display area 10a, and the guidance display frame 18 is displayed in the guidance display area 10b.

  FIG. 1B shows an example when the display position of the numeric keypad display section is changed from the state of FIG. Here, the display position of the numeric keypad section 10a is changed from the upper right part to the lower left part of the display operation unit 10, but the arrangement order of the numeric keys 11 is maintained. In this case, there is no problem that it is difficult to know where the target key in the numeric keypad is.

  The display control unit 13 may display the numeric keys 11 in any arrangement order within the numeric key display section 10a after displaying the numeric key display section 10a on the display operation unit 10. As described above, the arrangement order of the numeric keys 11 may be maintained, or may be appropriately changed according to a predetermined rule.

  As described above, in the configuration in which the display position of the numeric keypad section in the display operation unit is automatically set and changed according to a program prepared in advance, the numeric keypad section is periodically moved, so that all positions of the numeric keypad are changed. It will be. As a result, the entered room number or the like is difficult to see through. In addition, since only the numeric keypad portion of the display operation unit is prevented from being repeatedly touched, the life of the display operation unit is extended.

  FIG. 2 is a basic system diagram of the collective intercom apparatus provided with the common entrance shown in FIG.

  The intercom apparatus is configured to control such signal transmission between the common entrance unit 1, the dwelling unit 2 installed in each dwelling unit of the apartment, the management unit 3 installed in the management room, and the like. Device 4. Each dwelling unit 2 includes a door phone 2a. The common entrance door 5 is configured as an automatic door, and the automatic door opening / closing device 5 a is connected to the control device 4.

  The common entrance machine 1 is provided with a display operation unit 10, a camera 15a, a sound passage hole 16c for the speaker 16a, a sound collection hole 16d for the microphone 16b, and the like on the front surface.

  The basic operation of the common entrance machine 1 is the same as before, and accepts a call operation in which a visitor designates a dwelling unit number or a password input operation for opening the common entrance door 5 by a resident.

  That is, as the calling operation, when the numeric keypad 11 is operated in the order of “2”, “0”, “1”, “1”, “calling” in the common entrance machine 1, Called. The called dwelling unit 2 sounds a ringing tone, and a video of a visitor photographed by the camera 15a of the common entrance unit 1 is displayed on a monitor screen (not shown) of the dwelling unit 2. When a response operation is performed at the dwelling unit 2, a communication path is formed between the common entrance unit 1 and the dwelling unit 2. Further, when the unlocking operation is performed by the dwelling unit 2, the common entrance door 5 is automatically opened for a certain period of time.

  When the ten key 11 is operated in the order of “*”, “1”, “8”, “1”, “9” in the common entrance machine 1 as an input operation of the personal identification number, the control device 4 It is determined whether the number is registered in advance as one of the passwords. If the number is registered and entered, the common entrance door 5 is automatically opened for a certain period of time, but if not registered, an error message is displayed on the display operation unit 10 of the common entrance machine 1 and the common entrance door 5 is Not open. It should be noted that numbers and the like input by a call operation or a password input operation are sequentially displayed in the guidance display frame 10.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the basic operation of the common entrance machine shown in FIG.

    Step 100 is processing in which the display control unit 13 determines whether or not there is a visitor. If there is no visitor, this process is repeated, and if there is a visitor, the process moves to step 101.

  Step 101 is a process for turning on and initializing the display operation unit 10. Step 102 is a process of starting a timer in order to limit the operation reception of the common entrance machine 1 to a predetermined time.

  Step 103 is processing for reading the reference coordinates of the numeric keypad display section 10a from the display setting section 12, displaying the numeric keypad display section 10a on the operation display section 10, and displaying the numeric keys 11 in the section. This flowchart does not show the process of displaying the guidance display frame 18 in the guidance display section 10b or the process of displaying the “call” key 19 in the call key display section 10c, but these may be executed together with step 102. .

  Step 104 is processing for detecting an operation of the numeric keypad 11. Step 105 is a process of displaying the key number in the guidance display frame 18 when the numeric keypad 11 is operated in Step 104. If the numeric keypad 11 is not operated in step 104, the process branches to step 106.

  Step 106 is a process of determining whether or not the timer started in Step 102 has expired, that is, whether or not the time for accepting the operation of the common entrance machine 1 has elapsed. If the predetermined time has not passed, the process returns to step 104.

  Step 107 is a process for turning off the display operation unit 10 when it is determined in step 106 that a predetermined time has elapsed.

  Step 108 is processing in which the display setting unit 12 randomly changes the display position of the numeric keypad display section 10a according to a program prepared in advance. When the display position of the numeric keypad display section 10a is changed by this process, the timing at which the change is reflected is that the display operation unit 10 is initialized in step 103 after a visitor is detected in the next step 100. At the time.

Next, another example of the embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
4A to 4B are other examples of numeric keypad display in the display operation unit. The display operation unit 10 displays a numeric keypad 11, a guidance display frame 18, and a “calling” key 19 as in FIGS. The components not shown here are the same as those in FIG.

  In this example, in addition to changing the display position of the numeric keypad display section 10a, the display setting unit 12 selects one or more rows in the section and shifts them to the left or right to display the numeric keypad 11. Yes. Here, the basic layout of the numeric keypad display section 10a is a matrix area of 4 rows and 3 columns, and the rows in the matrix are shifted left or right. Further, the selection of a row and the shift width to the left and right of the selected row may be random as long as the numeric keypad display area 10a does not protrude beyond the area of the display operation unit 10.

  In the state of FIG. 4A, when the upper left corner of the numeric keypad display section 10a is used as a reference coordinate, the second line is shifted left by one key, the third line is shifted left by three keys, 4 lines are shifted left by 2 keys. On the other hand, in FIG. 4B, the display position of the numeric keypad section 10a is changed to the lower left direction from the state of FIG. 4A, and the second line is shifted by one right key, and the third line is changed. The left line is shifted by one key, and the fourth line is shifted left by two keys. Even when one or more rows selected from the reference layout are shifted to the left or right, the arrangement order of the numeric keys 11 in the numeric key display section 10a is not changed and remains in ascending order. The “call” key 19 is arranged adjacent to the numeric keypad display section 10 a and at the center of the left and right of the display operation unit 10.

  In this way, not only the display position of the numeric keypad display area is changed, but also the ten key is displayed by shifting one or more rows randomly selected from the basic layout to the left or right, and the positional relationship between the numeric keys. Will change between lines. For this reason, the room number or the like being entered is more difficult to see through. At this time, if a touch panel with a limited right and left viewing angle is used as the display operation unit, the numeric keypad cannot be read even when viewed from an obliquely rear side, so that the security is further improved. Even if multiple lines are shifted to the left or right in this configuration, the numeric keypad arrangement order is maintained, so when operating the numeric keypad, you do not have to worry about which number is in which location, and smoothly Can be operated. Note that instead of rows, columns may be shifted up and down.

  FIGS. 5A and 5B further illustrate another example of the numeric keypad display in the display operation unit. The display operation unit 10 displays a numeric keypad 11, a guidance display frame 18, and a “calling” key 19 as in FIGS. The components not shown here are the same as those in FIG.

  In this example, the display setting unit 12 automatically changes the setting of the display position of the guidance display section 10b where guidance and the like are displayed together with the display position of the numeric keypad display section 10a according to a program prepared in advance. The display control unit 13 initializes the display operation unit 10 when a visitor is detected, and displays the numeric keypad display section 10a and the guidance display section 10b at the display position instructed by the display setting unit 12. . The numeric keypad 11 and the guidance display frame 18 are displayed in those sections.

  More specifically, the display setting unit 12 also changes the display position of the guidance display section 10b so that the numeric keypad display section 10a does not overlap the guidance display section 10b when the display position of the numeric keypad display section 10a is changed.

  In this way, the range in which the position of the numeric keypad display can be changed becomes wider, so that the touched portion is also dispersed, and the life of the touch panel can be further extended. At this time, the display setting unit may shift one or more lines selected from the basic layout of the numeric keypad display area to the left or right, as shown in FIGS.

  In this example, the display control unit 13 causes the display operation unit 10 to display a “cleaning” key 20 as a malfunction prevention key. The “cleaning” key 20 is a key for setting the common entrance machine 1 to the cleaning mode, and is displayed in the “cleaning” key display section 10d. When the common entrance machine 1 shifts to the cleaning mode, it does not respond to operations other than the “cleaning” key 20. The cleaning mode may be canceled when the “cleaning” key 20 is operated again.

  By providing such a malfunction prevention key, it is possible to prevent the dwelling unit from being called by mistake when cleaning the common entrance machine. If the malfunction prevention key is not operated unless it has been operated continuously for a predetermined time or more, a visitor or a resident may accidentally touch the malfunction prevention key, and the numeric keypad may become inoperable. Disappear.

  Instead of providing such a malfunction prevention key, when the numeric keys are operated in a predetermined order, for example, in the order of “*”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “*”. When operated, the common entrance machine may shift to a cleaning mode. In this case, for example, the cleaning mode may be canceled when the “*” key is touched continuously for a predetermined time.

  FIG. 6A is a basic block diagram of a common entrance machine according to the second aspect of the present invention. Constituent elements common to the common entrance shown in FIG.

  A numeric keypad display section 10 a for displaying the numeric keypad 11 is set in the display operation unit 10 of the common entrance machine 1. It is assumed that the position of the numeric keypad display section 10a is basically unchanged. In relation to the second aspect of the present invention, the common entrance 1 includes a display setting unit 12 that automatically changes the setting order of the arrangement order of the numeric keys 11 in the numeric key display section 10a according to a program prepared in advance. In order to reflect the setting change on the display operation unit 10, the joint entrance machine 1 initializes the display operation unit 10 when detecting a visitor, and presses the numeric keys 11 in the arrangement order instructed by the display setting unit 12. A display control unit 13 for displaying in the numeric keypad display section 10a is provided. The visitor may be detected by the camera 15a, by a human sensor (not shown), or by touching the display operation unit 10 that is turned off.

  The numeric keypad display section 10a has a rectangular shape as a whole. In FIG. 6A, the numeric keys 11 are arranged in ascending order in the horizontal direction in the numeric keypad display section 10a.

  The display setting unit 12 automatically changes the setting order of the ten keys 11 in the ten key display section 10a, but the changing method is not particularly limited. For example, the horizontal arrangement of the numeric keys shown in FIG. 6A and the vertical arrangement shown in FIG. 6B may be alternately switched. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6C, the arrangement of two or more keys in the numeric keypad 11 may be switched at random.

  The timing at which the display setting unit 12 changes the arrangement order of the numeric keys 11 and the timing at which the display control unit 13 reflects the setting change on the display operation unit 10 are the same as in the case of the first invention.

  Thus, in the configuration in which the numeric keypad arrangement order in the numeric keypad display section is automatically set and changed according to a program prepared in advance, the positions of at least two keys in the numeric keypad are periodically exchanged. The room number is difficult to see through.
