Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apartment house intercom system that double-checks a visitor by providing automatic doors on each room floor in addition to the main entrance, for example.

Conventionally, in order to improve security, in addition to automatic doors at the main entrance, there are apartment complexes where automatic doors are installed on each room floor in the residential area. When such double automatic doors are installed, the visitor calls the residents from the first collective entrance machine installed at the main entrance and asks them to open the automatic door at the main entrance. It was necessary to call the resident again from the second collective entrance machine installed on the floor and have the automatic door of the floor of the living room opened.

Therefore, in order to reduce the burden on residents, a one-time password is issued at the first entrance hall, and this one-time password is entered by the visitor at the second entrance hall installed on the floor of the guest room. An apartment complex intercom system has been devised that enables a visitor to open an automatic door on each living room floor by turning on the door (for example, Patent Document 1).
