  When the handset 33 of the parent device 3 is picked up in response to the ringing sound, a communication path is formed with the calling child device 1 to enable a call. At this time, a ringing tone is also sounded in the portable terminal 5 carried by the nurse associated with the patient, and a communication path is formed between the portable terminal 5 and the slave unit 1 when a response operation is performed.

On the other hand, the master CPU 41 performs the pop-up display, and at the same time, saves the data being set in the save data storage unit 36 so that the setting screen R1 cannot be set.
Thereafter, when the call or the telephone call accompanying the call is completed, the data saved in the saved data storage unit 36 is restored, and the continuous setting operation is enabled. This setting is completed by pressing a “completion button” (not shown), and the set data is stored in a predetermined storage unit such as the patient information storage unit 35. Thus, even if a call occurs, the setting can be continued thereafter.

In this way, even if the data in the middle of setting is not saved, the data is saved when the call is received from the patient, and the saved data is returned and the setting screen R1 is restored when the call or the response is completed. Even if the setting operation is interrupted, it is possible to resume from the interrupted state when the call or the telephone call accompanying the call ends. Therefore, no extra work is required for the setting operation even if a call occurs, and the burden on the nurse can be reduced.
In addition, since the caller's patient information is displayed on the second display 32 provided in the vicinity of the handset 33, a smooth response can be made even during a setting operation.

FIG. 6 is a display explanatory diagram of the first display 31 and the second display 32 of the parent device 3 when a call occurs during the setting. R3 shown in FIG. 6 is the caller's patient information display unit, and the caller's patient information displayed when the call is received is not popped up on the first display 31 and is displayed only on the second display 32 Is shown.
By a predetermined display setting operation, the call from the patient in the standby state is popped up on the first display 31, but the first display 31 during the setting operation can be set so that the caller's patient information is not popped up, Thus, the display operation may be performed so that the setting screen R1 is not hidden.
In this case, since the setting screen R1 is not hidden even if a call occurs, the setting operation can be continued smoothly after the interruption. Further, since the caller's patient information is continuously displayed on the second display 32, a smooth response can be made even during the setting operation.

  The parent device 3 does not have the large first display 31 as described above, but includes a PC-type parent device 3a including a personal computer having a medium-sized display (PC display 31a), a handset 33a, and a second display 32. And a desktop master unit 3b having a small display 32a corresponding to the above. FIG. 7 shows a nurse call system provided with such a master unit 3, and the configuration other than the master unit 3 is the same as that of FIG.

When such a parent device 3 displays a pop-up display of the caller's patient information in a state where the patient information list is displayed, the display (PC display) 31a of the PC-type parent device 3a which is smaller than the first display 31 Therefore, it is desirable to display the caller's patient information only on the small display 32a.
In this case, the PC display 31a may be displayed with a telop (not shown) of the caller's patient name at the bottom of the screen at the time of calling, and the patient information list displayed at the time of standby is shown in FIG. Thus, the calling source patient may be notified by changing the color of the calling source patient frame P (indicated by a bold line in the figure).

  Thus, since the caller's patient information is displayed on the small display 32a without being enlarged and displayed by a pop-up, a smooth response can be made even during a setting operation, and in addition, a telop display and a patient information list are displayed. The caller can be identified from the change in the display color.

As shown in FIG. 9, the display set in the screen holding stop mode is displayed at a predetermined position of the first display 31 in all display states including the standby state. In this state, the setting screen R1 is displayed, and patient information is popped up when a call is generated.
In this mode state, even if a call is received during setting, the data is not saved and the data being set is deleted.

  In this way, if a call occurs during the setting operation, the conventional operation in which data in the middle of input is lost can be selected. However, it is possible to concentrate on the patient's treatment without waiting for the end of the setting, which is convenient. In addition, since the screen holding stop mode is always displayed, the operator can easily recognize that the screen holding stop mode is in effect, and can prevent work mistakes.
