Description

  The present invention relates to an intercom system.

  Intercom systems are installed in apartment houses such as condominiums. This intercom system is composed of a collective entrance machine installed at a collective entrance, a housing information panel installed in each dwelling unit, a call control device installed in a management room, and the like. Intercom calls can be made with the home information board.

  A dwelling unit number is designated by the collective entrance machine, a call button is pressed, a predetermined dwelling unit is called by this, and the intercom call is executed.

  The call control device that controls the intercom call disconnects the call if there is no response from the house information board for about 40 seconds after the call from the collective entrance machine. Further, when a call is made with the house information board, the call is forcibly disconnected when the call is made for a predetermined time (for example, about 5 minutes) (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  By the way, since an unspecified number of people can enter and exit the collective entrance machine, the collective entrance machine is called not only by family members and friends but also by push sales. In the case of an intercom system with video, if there is a call from a push-selling, it can be determined that the push-selling is calling at the stage of viewing the video of the entrance hall displayed on the monitor of the housing information board. Does not require the resident to press the call button, thereby avoiding a call.

Japanese Patent Publication No.3-1866

  However, in the case of an intercom system that cannot display video, the resident cannot know who is receiving the call. Intercom call may start. Thus, in response to a call from a person who does not want to be a call partner, such as a push-selling, it is difficult to find the timing for ending the call once the call is started. Therefore, the interphone call is longer than necessary. There is a problem of taking time.

  That is, in the above conventional example, there is a problem that it is difficult to find the timing for ending the call even if it is desired to end the call early after starting the call in response to a call from a push seller or the like.

  The switch SW2 is a switch for connecting the audio signal line La and the call means 34. When the call button 321 is pressed, the switch SW2 is turned on when the call is pressed once and turned off when the call is pressed a second time.

  Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described.

  First, when the numeric keypad 121 is operated from the collective entrance 10 to designate “303” which is a dwelling unit number and the call button 122 is pressed, a call signal is output to the corresponding dwelling unit and the house information board JB303 is called. When receiving the calling signal, the control device 20 activates the timer 25 and starts measuring time.

  When the call button 321 is pressed on the home information board JB 303 and the intercom call is started, it is determined that the visitor is pushed and sold, and when the call time reduction button 322 is operated, the call time reduction command signal is transmitted via the transmission / reception means 33. Is transmitted to the control device 20 and the collective entrance machine 10.

  When the control device 20 receives the call time reduction command signal, the call time setting means 24 sets the longest time of the set call time from a preset standard time of 5 minutes (300 seconds), for example. Change the reduction time to two and a half minutes (150 seconds) to shorten the call time.

  When the timer value counted by the timer 25 activated at the time of calling reaches two and a half minutes, in the control device 20, the control means 21 turns off the switch SW1 and disconnects the formed communication path. Forced off.

  According to the first embodiment, if the person who made the call is a push-selling or the like and the resident wants to hang up the call quickly after the call starts, the call time reduction button 322 may be pressed, and the call time reduction button By pressing 322, it is possible to reduce the time during which a call can be made (the longest call time), and thus it is possible to end the call earlier and more comfortably.

  In addition, after pressing the call button 321, the call may be disconnected at a time other than two and a half minutes after the start of the call.

  In the first embodiment, the standard time and the reduction time are set for the call time, and when the call time reduction button 322 is operated, the call time is set to a preset value of the reduction time. For example, when the call time reduction button 322 is pressed, the call may be disconnected, for example, 30 seconds after the call time reduction button 322 is pressed. In this case, the result is the same as when 30 seconds is set as the shortening time, but the configuration is slightly different. In this case, a timer that is activated when the call time reduction button 322 is operated is provided, and when this timer reaches a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds), a call disconnect signal is output and the signal is received. Then, the control means 21 turns off the changeover switch SW1. Alternatively, the call line may be disconnected 30 seconds after the call button 321 is pressed.

  The second embodiment of the present invention is an embodiment in which the interphone system 100 provides notification by displaying the remaining time of the call time.

  Since the configuration of the second embodiment is the same as that of the intercom system 100 shown in FIG. 2, the following description will be made using the members used for this.

  In the second embodiment, the remaining time of the call time is displayed on the display means D1 of the collective entrance 10. For example, “the remaining call time is xx seconds”, and instead of this “xx”, the actual remaining call time may be counted down and displayed.

  Moreover, when the remaining time of the call time becomes shorter than a predetermined time, for example, 30 seconds, a warning sound such as a boo-boo may be emitted from the speaker SP1 of the collective entrance 10 as a pre-end sound. Alternatively, it may be notified by voice synthesis that the remaining call time is short, such as “The call will be finished soon.” In this case, it is necessary to add speech synthesis means.

  By doing the above, it is displayed or sounded at the central entrance that there is little remaining talk time, so it will be recognized that the call will automatically be terminated soon, and the forced push sale will continue. You can expect to be abandoned.

  Further, for example, when the remaining call time is less than 30 seconds, the remaining time of the call time is displayed on the display means D1 of the collective entrance 10 and the display means D2 on the house information board is similar to the above. For example, “the remaining call time is xx seconds” is displayed. Further, the speaker SP2 on the house information board may notify by voice synthesis that the remaining call time is short, such as “the call will be finished soon”, as described above. By doing this, a resident in the dwelling knows that the remaining time of the call is low or displayed at the main entrance, and can recognize that the call will be automatically disconnected soon. You can rest assured that the call with the push sales will end soon.

  That is, the transmission / reception unit 13 is an example of a reception unit that receives a call time reduction command signal. The speaker SP1 is an example of notification means for notifying that the remaining time of the call time or the call will be disconnected when the time reduction signal is received. In this case, the notification means is an example of a means for generating a caution sound or a sound from a speaker, and is an example of a display means D1 for displaying the remaining time of the call time.

  When the call time reduction button 322 is operated during a call from the collective entrance machine 10, the longest no-response time of 40 seconds may be changed to 20 seconds.

  In an intercom system without video, if you do not respond to the call, you do not know who the visitor is, but from the time of the call, if the visitor is not likely to be a friend or family, but the visitor is likely to sell By doing so, the ringing time of the ringing sound that rings in the room is reduced, so that it is possible to settle down indoors.
