DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a housing information panel installed and used in a dwelling unit in an apartment house.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As this kind of house information panel, for example, when an abnormality such as a fire or a gas leak occurs, an abnormality detection signal is output, and the abnormality detection signal is output to an alarm monitoring panel installed in a management room or the like. There is something to send to. In such a housing information panel, a unique ID code different for each dwelling unit is attached so that the alarm monitoring panel can determine which dwelling unit has an abnormality. In general, it is configured to be transmitted by being added to the detection signal. Therefore, conventionally, as a means for setting an ID code on such a house information panel, a dip switch 50 as shown in FIG. 5 or a rotary switch 51 as shown in FIG. 6 is provided on the house information panel, and these switches are used. Thus, the unit number is set as the ID code.

[0003]

However, the conventional DIP switch 50 and rotary switch 51
Is used only for setting an ID code, and cannot be used for other purposes. Therefore, in this type of housing information panel where the mounting space for switches and the like is limited,
It is not rational to use a switch dedicated to setting an ID code, which has a relatively complicated structure and causes a large space, and it is difficult to secure a space for mounting the switch and to reduce parts cost of the switch. Was occurring. In the above-mentioned conventional means using one of the dip switches 50, the numerical value of the ID code needs to be set in an on / off binary system, so that there is a problem that the setting is difficult. The other rotary switch 51 is easy to set a number, but has a larger size than the DIP switch 50, and has a problem that it is more difficult to secure the mounting space.

The present invention has been proposed in view of the above points, and eliminates the need for providing a switch for setting an ID code of a type having a complicated structure and a large space in a house information panel, and setting a desired ID code. Its purpose is to be able to do it easily and properly.

[0005]

The house information panel according to the present invention proposed to achieve the above object has an EEPROM for data storage, and the EEPROM has a separate information board provided on the house information panel. A desired ID code can be registered by a specific operation of a switch using a switch having a function .

[0006]

In the housing information panel according to the present invention having the above-mentioned structure, a predetermined appropriate switch provided on the housing information panel is used, and the switch is operated according to a predetermined procedure. Data of a desired ID code can be stored in the EEPROM and registered. Therefore, there is no need to provide a dedicated dip switch or rotary switch for setting the ID code. Also, E
EPROMs do not require a backup power supply for storing their data, and there is no danger that registered data will be erased due to a power failure or the like. Suitable.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of a house information monitoring system configured using a house information panel A according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view showing an example of the appearance of the house information panel A. The system shown in FIG. 1 includes a house information panel A installed in each dwelling unit of an apartment house such as an apartment, an alarm monitoring panel B installed in a manager's office, and a control unit U. In addition, in this system, it is also possible to connect, for example, an electric lock installed at a common entrance of an apartment, a lobby intercom, or other devices, in addition to the above devices. Although only one house information panel A is shown in the figure, this house information panel A is provided for each dwelling unit. And used via a communication line L2. Further, transmission and reception of control signals executed between the house information panel A and the alarm monitor panel B via the signal line L1 are configured to be performed with the control unit U interposed therebetween.

[0008] The house information panel A functions as a system memory for the signal processing unit 1 composed of a CPU or the like.
EEPROM that also functions as a memory for D code setting
2 are connected. In addition to the above-mentioned EEPROM 2, the signal processing unit 1 includes an audio memory 3, and various security sensors S such as a fire sensor and a gas leak sensor.
1, an I / O port 10 to which S2 is connected, and a transmission CPU 4 and a transmission driver 4a for transmitting, via a signal line L1, a signal indicating that an abnormality has occurred when an abnormality detection signal is transmitted from the security sensor S1, S2. Is connected. Further, in addition to these, a communication circuit 5 for making an intercom call with the alarm monitor B via the communication line L2,
A handset 6 connected to the communication circuit 5, a speaker 7 provided separately from the built-in speaker of the handset 6,
A hook switch 8 turned on / off by the handset 5, a relay switch 9 for switching the line connection of the communication line L2, an operation unit 11, and the like are also connected to the signal processing unit 1.

As shown in FIG. 2, the operation unit 11 is an emergency button 11a for operating when an emergency occurs, and an electric lock (not shown) for the common entrance. An unlocking switch 11b and a small push button type setting switch 11c for setting the house information panel A to an ID code registration mode are provided. The setting switch 11c is arranged, for example, at a position hidden by the handset 6 so as not to be easily touched during normal times. In FIG. 2, 12a, 1
Reference numeral 2b denotes a display lamp that lights or blinks when a fire or gas leaks.

In this embodiment, the unlocking switch 1 described above is used.
1b, the setting switch 11c, and the hook switch 8, the desired ID code data is stored in the EEPROM 2.
And can be registered. That is, when the setting switch 11c is pressed while the hook switch 8 is in the on-hook state, the signal processing unit 1 reads out the audio data stored in advance in the audio memory 3, and the unlocking switch that functions as a feed switch. 1
It is configured to control so that a predetermined sound is reproduced and output from the speaker 7 according to the operation of 1b.

More specifically, if the ID code is not yet registered in the EEPROM 2 at the time when the setting switch 11c is operated, for example, a voice message of "0 floor 0" is output from the speaker 7. When the ID code has already been registered, the content is stored in the speaker 7.
Output from Then, after the above, the unlocking switch 1
Each time 1b is pressed, "1st floor", "2nd floor",
When a voice message having a floor number such as "3rd floor" is output and the setting switch 11c is operated at that stage, data of the floor number corresponding to the voice message output at that time is stored in the EEPROM 2. You. Then, when the unlock switch 11b is further pressed and operated, "1"
No., "No. 2", "No. 3", etc., the voice message of the room number is output, and when the setting switch 11c is operated at that stage, the room corresponding to the voice message output at that time is output. The data of the number is also EEPROM2
Is stored in In this way, the signal processing unit 1 assigns the dwelling unit number combined from the floor number and the room number to the unique ID.
The control is performed so that the data of the ID code is stored in the EEPROM 2. After the data storage of the ID code is completed, the mode is automatically returned to the normal mode.

In the house information panel A having the above structure, it is necessary to register a unique ID code before use. At the time of this registration operation, the user sets the ID code registration mode by operating the setting switch 11c in a state where the hook switch 8 is pressed after the handset 6 is first taken up. Next, the voice message of the floor number and the room number output from the speaker 7 is sequentially sent while the unlock switch 11b functioning as a feed key is pressed appropriately, and the voice message of the desired floor number and the room number is output. At this stage, the setting switch 11c may be operated. By such a series of operations, the own house number can be stored in the EEPROM 2 as data of a unique ID code and registered.

Therefore, when registering such ID code data, no DIP switch or rotary switch is required, and it is not necessary to provide these switches on the house information panel A. A setting switch 11c is provided as a switch for registering an ID code.
Since the setting switch 11 may be a mere push-operation type very small switch, it is easy to secure a space for providing this switch, and the parts cost of the switch is very low.

After the ID code is registered in the EEPROM 2 as described above, for example, when an abnormality such as a fire is detected by the security sensors S1 and S2, the transmission driver 4a operates and the abnormality is detected. A signal indicating the occurrence is transmitted to the alarm monitor B via the control unit U via the signal line L1, and at that time, the signal is also transmitted with ID code data added thereto. Therefore, the alarm monitoring board B can identify the number of the dwelling unit in which the abnormality has occurred based on the data signal of the ID code, and can take prompt measures. Further, even when an intercom call is made with the alarm monitoring panel B, a call can be made from the alarm monitoring panel B to the house information panel A using the ID code. Furthermore, even if a power failure occurs when using such a housing information panel A,
The data stored in the EEPROM 2 will not be lost, and it is not necessary to repeat the data input operation every time a power failure occurs. The EEPROM 2 is different from a general ROM and does not require a power supply circuit for data backup.

In the above-described embodiment, the housing information panel A having no numeric keypad has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a house information panel having an outside line communication function is provided with a numeric keypad. In such a type of house information panel, a desired ID code is input using the numeric keypad, and the input data is input. I
You may make it memorize | store in EEPROM as D code. Further, in a housing information panel of a type provided with a display means such as a liquid crystal display or a seven-segment display, instead of means for outputting floor numbers and room numbers by voice, the display means sequentially displays and selects dwelling unit numbers and the like. You may make it do.

The alarm monitor B as shown in FIG.
In the system provided with the above, the function setting of the house information panel can be performed from the alarm monitoring panel B. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration of the alarm monitoring panel B in such a case, and FIG. 4 is a front view showing an example of its external appearance. The alarm monitor B is a signal processing unit 2 composed of a CPU or the like.
0, a transmission CPU 21a for transmitting and receiving a predetermined control signal via the signal line L1, a transmission driver 21, a communication circuit 22 including a handset 27 for performing an intercom communication via the communication line L2, a changeover switch 23 ,
It has an EEPROM 24, a display unit 25 composed of a liquid crystal display or 7 segments, an operation unit 26, and the like.
Here, as the display unit 25, for example, two display units 25a and 25b are provided as shown in FIG. One display unit 25a displays the content of the abnormality when the abnormality detection signal is received, and the other display unit 25b displays the dwelling unit number (ID code) of the other party. The operation unit 26 includes a numeric keypad 26a, a call key 26b, a display feed key 26c, and the like.

The alarm monitoring panel B has the following functions in addition to the function of executing normal communication control with the house information panel Aa via the control unit U. First, the alarm monitor B is, for example, "*" of the ten keys 26a.
When a predetermined key operation such as an operation of the call key 26b is performed after operating the key twice in succession, the house information panel Aa
The mode shifts to the function setting mode for the same. In this mode state, it is possible to register the function settings of the house information panel Aa and the like and the data of the other party to which the data of the function settings is transmitted. Specifically, for example, when it is desired to limit the data transmission destination to a specific dwelling unit, the call key 26b is operated after inputting the dwelling unit number with the ten keys. When the same function setting is to be executed uniformly for all the dwelling units in the apartment house, for example, “9” and “9”
The user inputs "9" and then operates the call key 26b. Furthermore, when you want to set the function of the whole system,
After inputting "0", "0" and "0", the call key 26b is operated. When such a key input operation is performed, the input data is stored in the EEPROM 24. The display unit 25
b is configured to display the input data one screen at a time each time data is input by a key. When the registration of the data transmission destination is completed, the display unit 25a displays
The item of the function to be set is displayed by a code number, and the function item is configured to be sequentially selected by operating the display feed key 26c.
By operating the numeric keypad 26a and the call key 26b while the desired function item is displayed on the display unit 25a, the content setting relating to the function item (for example, whether the fire disconnection alarm is turned on or off, or the like) Setting) can be performed, and the data of the setting contents is also EEPRO
It is stored in M24.

Further, after the registration of the function setting data and the transmission destination data is completed as described above, the "*" key of the numeric keypad 26a is again operated twice consecutively, and then the call key 26b is pressed. When a specific operation such as an operation is performed, at that time, the alarm monitoring panel B returns to the original normal mode. At the same time, the function setting data registered in the EEPROM 24 is transmitted to the transmission destination such as the previously registered dwelling unit number via the signal line L1.

According to such a configuration of the alarm monitoring panel B,
The function of the house information panel Aa can be set on the alarm monitoring panel B, and the data is transmitted from the alarm monitoring panel B to the house information panel Aa, so that the data is stored in the housing information panel Aa. The housing information panel Aa can be operated under conditions according to the function settings.
Therefore, even when the setting function of the house information panel Aa needs to be changed, it is not necessary for a predetermined contractor to enter each dwelling unit where the house information panel Aa is installed, and the alarm monitoring board B is set in the management room. The function setting of all the housing information panels Aa installed in each dwelling unit in the apartment house can be easily performed by the operation of simply operating. Further, since the data of the function setting for each house information panel Aa is stored in the EEPROM 24 of the alarm monitoring panel B, for example, the data stored in the storage section (of a general RAM) of the house information panel Aa is Even if the data is deleted due to a power failure or the like, the data stored in the alarm monitoring panel B is retransmitted to the house information panel Aa,
There is also obtained an advantage that data can be easily restored in the house information panel Aa.

[0020]

As will be understood from the above description, according to the housing information panel according to the present invention, the housing information panel has
Since the ID code data can be stored and registered in the EEPROM using a switch having another function ,
Dip switches and rotary switches that were conventionally provided for setting ID codes are no longer necessary,
There is no need to secure a space for mounting these rotary switches and the like, so that the configuration of the housing information panel can be simplified, the cost can be reduced, and the ID code setting operation can be facilitated. Is obtained.
In addition, since the ID code of the home information panel has a high frequency of use and high importance, long-term stable data retention is required. However, an EEPROM for storing this data does not require a backup power supply circuit and a power failure. Therefore, the housing information panel according to the present invention has excellent advantages from the above viewpoint.
