Is becoming Similarly, in the calling unit 121e, for example, the decorative panel 130b hides the dedicated buttons 111 and the name plate 122 on the upper three stages, and only the dedicated button 111 and the name plate 122 on the lowermost stage are displayed. It is visible. The number of dedicated buttons 111 and name plates 122 covered with the decorative panel and the positions of the dedicated buttons 111 and name plate 122 covered can be arbitrarily selected according to the number of rooms in the residential building. Is. The call units 121a and 121b are configured such that the four dedicated buttons 111 and the four name plates 122 can be visually recognized. In this example, no decorative panel is attached to the calling units 121a and 121b, but a decorative panel that allows the four dedicated buttons 111 and the four name plates 122 to be visually recognized may be attached.

The call table will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
The place number data 1 to 16 stored in the call table 140 are numbers assigned to specify the place of the dedicated button 111 provided in the call unit 121 of the collective entrance 10A. Place numbers 1 to 4 are numbers sequentially associated with the four dedicated buttons 111 provided on the calling unit 121b of the collective entrance 10A. Further, the place numbers 5 to 8 are for the four dedicated buttons 111 provided on the calling unit 121c, and the place numbers 9 to 12 are for the four dedicated buttons 111 provided on the calling unit 121d. The location numbers 13 to 16 are numbers associated with the four dedicated buttons 111 provided in the calling unit 121e in order from the top.

  By the way, in the gathering entrance machine 10A, the exclusive buttons 111 and the name plate 122 of the calling units 121b to 121e are partially covered by the decorative panels 130a to 130c as described above. Therefore, the call table 140 is set so that the data of the room number, the resident name, and the room master ID is not stored for the location number of the dedicated button 111 that is hidden in each calling unit 121. There is. For example, for the place number 5 associated with the uppermost dedicated button 111 covered by the makeup panel 130a in the calling unit 121c, data such as a room number is stored as shown in the calling table 140. Absent. On the other hand, data such as a room number is assigned and stored to the place numbers 6 to 8 associated with the dedicated button 111 which is visually provided in the calling unit 121c.

  This setting is the same for the place number of the dedicated button 111 in the calling units 121d and 121e. For example, in the calling unit 121d, data such as a room number is not stored for the place numbers 9 and 10 associated with the dedicated buttons 111 on the upper two steps which are covered with the decorative panel 130b. On the other hand, data such as a room number is stored for the place numbers 11 and 12 associated with the dedicated button 111 which is provided so as to be visible. Further, for example, in the calling unit 121e, data such as a room number is not stored for the place numbers 13, 14, and 15 associated with the dedicated buttons 111 on the upper three rows that are covered with the decorative panel 130c. On the other hand, data such as a room number is stored for the location number 16 associated with the dedicated button 111 that is visibly provided.

  The calling units 121b to 121e shown in FIG. 3 and the calling table 140 of FIG. 4 set in association with the calling units 121b to 121e are the in-room master unit 30 installed on each floor (1F to 4F) in the building A of FIG. It is formed so as to correspond to.

The collective entrance machine 10A may be provided with a dedicated button 111 and a name plate 122 capable of calling a preset specific resident (see the calling unit 121a in FIG. 3).
The name (FURUYA, WATANABE, HAYASHI, TAKEUCHI) displayed on the name plate 122 of the calling unit 121a was picked up and displayed separately from the display of the name plate 122 of the calling units 121b to 121e by the application of the resident. Is the name. The visitor can also call the resident being picked up by pressing the dedicated button 111 of the calling unit 121a. The name plate 122 of the calling unit 121a may display, for example, a tenant name in addition to the resident name.

  In this case, in order to specify each dedicated button 111 provided in the calling unit 121a, the calling table 140 stores data 1 to 4 of the quick list. For example, the quick list 1 is associated with the uppermost dedicated button 111 of the four dedicated buttons 111 provided in the calling unit 121a. Further, the quick lists 2 to 4 are respectively associated with the dedicated buttons 111 on the second to fourth stages of the calling unit 121a.

As shown in FIG. 5, in the call table 140, a plurality of room master unit IDs may be assigned to one location number.
For example, when a plurality of (three in this example) living room masters 30 are installed in the residence of the room number 401, three room master IDs (for example, S10-1, S10-2, S10) for the location number 16 are set. −3) is assigned. In this case, when the dedicated button 111 of the calling unit 121e for calling the resident "TAKEUCHI" is pressed at the collective entrance 10A, the three living rooms installed in the dwelling of the room number 401 based on the calling table 140. A ringing tone is emitted from base unit 30. Even when the dedicated button 111 of the calling unit 121a for calling the resident "TAKEUCHI" is pressed, the ringing tones are similarly emitted from the three room master units 30.

Next, the operation of the intercom system 1 will be described.
For example, when an apartment house including the intercom system 1 having the configuration shown in FIG. 1 is completed and a builder or a manager stores the call table 140 in the collective entrance machine 10 or the like, the following operation is performed. ..

  First, the builder or the like uses the setting tool of the external device 80 to set each data of the call table 140 as shown in FIG. 4, for example. Each data of the call table 140 is set in association with the resident name of the name plate 122 associated with the dedicated button 111 specified by the place number. For example, the place number for identifying the lowermost dedicated button 111 in the calling unit 121b in FIG. 3 is "4", and "KATO" is displayed on the name plate 122 associated with the dedicated button 111. Therefore, in the table of the place number 4 in the call table 140 of FIG. 4, the room number “104”, the room master unit ID “S4” and the like are set in association with the resident name “KATO”. Further, for example, the uppermost dedicated button 111 and the name plate 122 in the calling unit 121c of FIG. 3 are hidden by the decorative panel 130a. Therefore, no data is set in the table of place number 5 that specifies the hidden dedicated button 111. The setting data of the call table 140 can be repeatedly changed via the external device 80.

  The call table 140 set in the external device 80 is transmitted from the external device 80 to the collective entrance machines 10A to 10C and the management room master device 20 by wireless communication, for example. The call table 140 set in the external device 80 is transmitted from the external device 80 to the ridge control unit 40 via the network N.

  The collective entrance machines 10A to 10C, the management room parent machine 20, and the ridge control section 40 store the call table 140 transmitted from the external device 80 in their respective storage sections.

  The call table 140 set in the external device 80 is transmitted to the ridge control unit 40 and then transmitted from the ridge control unit 40 to the collective entrances 10A to 10C via the intercom line L1 and the intercom line L2. It may be transmitted to the master device 20 of the management room via the.

  In addition, the call table 140 set in the external device 80 is transmitted to the collective entrance machine 10A, and then transmitted from the collective entrance machine 10A to the other collective entrance machines 10B and 10C and the building control unit 40 via the intercom line L1. It may be transmitted. Further, the call table 140 may be transmitted to the control room main unit 20 via the intercom line L2.

  According to the intercom system 1 as described above, each data is stored in the call table 140 in association with the place numbers 1 to 16 that specify the place of the dedicated button 111 provided in the collective entrance 10A. The operation is controlled based on the call table 140. Therefore, for example, a builder of the intercom system 1 or a manager of an apartment house can appropriately associate the room master unit 30 installed in each room with the dedicated button 111 corresponding thereto. Thereby, the visitor can call the in-room master unit 30 of the resident's house he/she wants to visit by pressing the dedicated button 111 corresponding to the name plate 122 of the visited place without fail.

  In addition, the four dedicated buttons 111 and name plates 122 prepared in the calling unit 121 of the collective entrance machine 10A are made up so that a part of the dedicated buttons 111 and name plates 122 cannot be seen according to the number of living rooms. It is configured so that it can be hidden by the panel. Therefore, for example, the general-purpose collective entrance machine 10A in which four dedicated buttons 111 are prepared in advance in each calling unit 121 can be appropriately used in accordance with the number of rooms even in a residential building having a different number of rooms. At the same time, it is possible to easily perform the call setting of the room master unit 30 using a general-purpose collective entrance.

  Further, the setting data of the call table stored in the collective entrance machine 10 or the building control section 40 can be changed by the external device 80 connected to the collective entrance machine 10 or the building control section 40. .. For this reason, for example, the installer or manager of the intercom system 1 can easily associate the living room master device 30 with the dedicated button 111. Further, since the data of the call table 140 is set in the external device 80 in advance and the set call table 140 can be transmitted to the collective entrance machine 10 and the ridge control unit 40, the work time is shortened. ..

  Further, since the calling table 140 can assign a plurality of room master IDs to one location number, even if a plurality of room masters 30 exist in the room, each of the call destinations in the room. The parent room 30 can be called.

  It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be modified, improved, etc. as appropriate. In addition, the material, shape, size, numerical value, form, number, location, etc. of each constituent element in the above-described embodiment are arbitrary and are not limited as long as the present invention can be achieved.
