Description

  The present invention relates to an apartment house intercom system.

Conventionally, it is installed at the entrance of apartment buildings such as condominiums, and is installed in the management room with a call button that is operated when a visitor calls a resident and a call section for the visitor to talk to the resident. A control room master unit that is installed and has a control unit that is operated when the manager calls the resident and a call unit for the manager to talk to the resident, and a collective entrance or control room installed in each dwelling unit A plurality of room master units having an operation unit that is operated when responding to a call from the master unit, a call unit for a resident to talk to a visitor or a manager, and a display unit, a collective entrance unit, and a control room master unit There is also known an apartment intercom system having a controller for controlling the room master.
Such a multi-family intercom system is configured such that the controller periodically performs diagnosis on each room base unit in order to check whether the system wiring or each room base unit is abnormal. There is something. Periodic diagnosis by the controller is that the controller periodically sends a connection confirmation signal to each room base unit and checks whether a response signal to this connection confirmation signal is returned from each room base unit. Executed by. When a response signal is sent back from the room master to the controller, it is determined that there is no abnormality in the room master and that there is no abnormality in the wiring between the controller and the response signal from the room master to the controller. Is not returned, it is determined that there is an abnormality in either the room base unit itself or the wiring between the control unit and, for example, a notification / warning is made to the management room base unit etc. There is something.

  Here, people are not always occupying each dwelling unit of the apartment house, and there may be dwelling units that are used as model rooms or dwelling units that are in the state of being sold and are not occupied. In such a dwelling unit, the main power supply is not always turned on, but the power is turned on when the visit time starts or when a person visits the inside, and when the visit time ends or the person leaves The main unit is usually turned off, but when the main power is turned off, the power to the room base unit of the dwelling unit is also turned off, so when a connection confirmation signal is sent from the controller. A response signal is not returned from the master unit to the controller. For this reason, it has been determined that there is an abnormality as a result of periodic diagnosis by the controller, and there is an inconvenience that even if there is no abnormality actually, it is reported outside.

In order to eliminate such inconveniences, in the apartment house intercom system shown in the prior art document, the living room of the dwelling unit in which the power is frequently turned off / on like the dwelling unit used as a model room or the dwelling unit on sale. It is configured such that the room master can be removed from the periodical diagnosis by registering the master on hold.
According to the multi-family intercom system with such a configuration, when certain dwelling units used as model rooms are registered on hold and excluded from periodic diagnosis, these dwelling units are abnormal as a result of periodic diagnosis by the controller. It is possible to avoid a situation in which it is determined that there is a report and is issued to the outside.

JP 2001-188979 A

However, this apartment house intercom system is configured such that when a predetermined number of times of continuous communication can be established between the control unit and the registered room master unit, the room master unit is registered. Because it is necessary to communicate many times between the control unit and the room master unit registered on hold until the room base unit registered on hold is registered, it encounters a scene where communication is not possible due to a communication failure. The possibility increases. If communication is not possible due to a communication failure, the pending registration status will be maintained, so there is a risk that regular diagnostics will not be performed for the parent unit that needs to shift to the registered status and perform periodic diagnostics. was there.
In addition, the apartment housing intercom system is configured to automatically register the room base unit that is turned on, so if you want to exclude the room base unit from the periodical diagnosis, a registration operation called hold registration Had to do.

  The present invention has been made in view of the problems as described above, and does not require a registration operation for removing the room parent device from the target of the periodic diagnosis. It is an object of the present invention to provide an apartment intercom system that can appropriately shift to a registered state.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present inventor proposes the following apartment house intercom system.

The collective housing intercom system of the present invention is installed at the entrance of a collective housing, and has a call button that is operated when a visitor calls a resident, and a call entrance for the visitor to talk to the resident. A plurality of room master units installed in each dwelling unit and operated when responding to a call from the collective entrance unit, a call unit for the resident to talk to the visitor, and a display unit And a controller for controlling the collective entrance machine and the living room master machine.
The controller of this apartment house intercom system performs provisional registration of the room master unit connected to the controller when the entire apartment house intercom system is activated, and performs provisional registration of the room master unit. After a lapse of a predetermined time, a main registration of a room master other than the room master that has detected that the power has been cut off within the predetermined time is performed, and The periodic diagnosis is executed by periodically transmitting a connection confirmation signal. In other words, the room base unit of the unoccupied unit is not turned on. Since the unit used as a model room or the unit being sold is frequently turned off / on as described above, Since the power supply of the living room master unit of the dwelling unit is considered to be cut off within a predetermined time (for example, 8 hours), it is not a room base unit other than the room base unit that the control unit has detected that the power supply is cut off within the predetermined time period. By performing the main registration of the room base unit, the room base unit of the unoccupied unit can be excluded from the periodical diagnosis target.
According to this collective housing intercom system, a predetermined time has passed since the temporary registration of the living room parent device was executed, rather than performing communication between the controller and the temporarily registered living room parent device many times. In this case, it is configured to perform the main registration of the room master unit whose power has not been cut off until this predetermined time has elapsed, so that the room master unit that needs to be regularly diagnosed is affected by a communication failure. It is possible to shift to the registered state appropriately.
In addition, when the entire apartment intercom system is activated, it is configured to temporarily register the room master connected to the controller, rather than registering it permanently. There is no need to perform a registration operation called provisional (hold) registration, which is highly convenient.
In addition, when the entire apartment intercom system is activated, it may be configured to perform temporary registration of all living room base units connected to the control unit, or only a predetermined room base unit connected to the control unit. It is good also as a structure which performs temporary registration.

After the predetermined time has elapsed after the temporary registration of the room master unit, the control unit shifts the room base unit that has detected that the power source has been disconnected within the predetermined time period to unregistered If it is detected that the power of the unregistered room master is subsequently turned on, the temporary registration of the room master is executed, and the power of the room master is within a predetermined time after the temporary registration is performed. If it is not detected that is disconnected, the main registration of the room master unit may be executed.
According to this collective housing intercom system, when the power of a non-registered living room parent device is turned on, the living room parent device can be appropriately transferred to the main registration.

When the power is turned off within the predetermined time, the living room base unit performs an end operation to end the living room base unit, and indicates that the power is cut off during execution of the end operation. The signal may be notified to the controller.
Alternatively, the living room parent device includes a sub power source for supplying power to the living room parent device when the power of the living room parent device is turned off within the predetermined time period. When power is supplied from the sub power source, the controller may be configured to notify the controller that a power source has been cut off. The controller may be connected, and the controller may include a room power supply monitoring unit that monitors whether the power supply of each room master is cut off through the communication cable.
By adopting any one of such configurations, the control device can grasp whether or not the power supply of the room master device is cut off.

The management room further includes an operation unit that is installed in a management room and is operated when a manager calls the resident, and a manager unit that has a call unit for the manager to talk to the resident. The room master unit can check the registration status of each of the plurality of room master units in the management room master unit, and the room master unit temporarily registered by operating the management room master unit It is good also as a structure which can be registered.
According to the multi-family intercom system with such a configuration, the manager can check the registration status of each of the room base units, and is temporarily registered by operating the management room base unit as necessary. It is also convenient to register the main unit of the room.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the registration operation | movement which removes a living room main | base station from the object of a periodical diagnosis is unnecessary, and the dwelling unit intercom which can make a room state main unit which needs to perform a periodical diagnosis shift to a registration state appropriately A system can be provided.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of an apartment house intercom system of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

An apartment house intercom system 1 according to the present embodiment is schematically configured as shown in FIG.
That is, this multi-family intercom system 1 includes a multi-purpose entrance 10 installed at the entrance of a multi-family house such as a condominium, a management room master 20 installed in a management room, and a plurality of living rooms installed in each dwelling unit. It has a master unit 30 and a control device 40 that controls the collective entrance machine 10, the management room master unit 20, and the living room master unit 30. The control device 40 is connected to the collective entrance machine 10, the management room master 20 and each room master 30 via transmission lines L1, L2 and L3, respectively.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of the collective entrance machine 10, the management room master 20, the living room master 30, and the control device 40 will be described.

  The collective entrance 10 displays an operation unit 101 that is operated when a visitor calls a resident, a call unit 102 for a visitor to talk to a resident, a room number input by the operation unit 101, and the like. And a communication circuit 104 for transmitting and receiving various data such as audio and video to / from a communication circuit 403 of the control device 40 to be described later, and a CPU 105 for controlling each part of the collective entrance 10. ing.

  The management room base unit 20 includes an operation unit 201 that is operated when a manager calls a resident or responds to a call from the collective entrance 10, a call unit 202 for a manager to call a resident, etc. Audio and video between the display unit 203 for displaying the room number input in the unit 201, the room number of the caller or alarm notification source or the video of the visitor, and the communication circuit 404 of the control device 40 described later The communication circuit 204 for transmitting and receiving various data such as and the like, and the CPU 205 for controlling each part of the management room base unit 20 are provided.

  The room master unit 30 is operated when responding to a call from a visitor, when calling an administrator, or when notifying an alarm, etc., and a call unit 302 for a resident to talk with a visitor or the like. , A display unit 303 for displaying visitors and the like, a communication circuit 304 for transmitting and receiving various data such as audio and video to / from a communication circuit 405 of the control device 40, which will be described later, a power supply unit 305, and a parent unit A CPU 306 for controlling each of the 30 units is provided.

The control device 40 includes a timer 401 for counting a predetermined time, a table 402, a communication circuit 403 connected to the communication circuit 104 of the collective entrance 10 and a communication circuit 404 connected to the communication circuit 204 of the management room master unit 20. A communication circuit 405 connected to the communication circuit 304 of the living room base unit 30 and a CPU 406 for controlling each part of the control device 40 are provided.
In the table 402, as will be described later, the registration status of each of the room master units 30 registered as temporary registration, main registration, or unregistered is recorded in association with each room base unit 30.

  Next, a part of the operation of the apartment house intercom system 1 configured as described above, specifically, the operation when the apartment house intercom system 1 is activated will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

When the collective housing intercom system 1 is activated (ST501), the control device 40 refers to the table 402 and executes temporary registration of all the room base units 30 recorded in the table 402 (ST502). The room master device 30 temporarily registered as described above is not a target of periodic diagnosis executed by the control device 40 while temporarily registered.
In addition, when temporary registration of the room master unit 30 is executed, the timer 401 is activated to start counting for a predetermined time (for example, 8 hours). The timer 401 is activated for each room master unit 30.
Before the predetermined time has elapsed since the timer 401 was activated, the administrator operated the operation unit 201 of the management room base unit 20 to perform an operation for shifting the room base unit 30 from temporary registration to main registration. In the case (ST503: Yes), the control device 40 shifts to the main registration by rewriting the table 402 from the temporary registration to the main registration under the control of the CPU 406 (ST505).

In addition, when the CPU 406 of the control device 40 does not detect the power-off of the living room master unit 30 until a predetermined time has elapsed after the timer 401 is started (ST504: No), the control device 40 also Under the control, the table 402 is operated, and the room master unit 30 is rewritten from temporary registration to main registration to shift to main registration (ST505).
The room master unit 30 that has been transferred to the main registration in this way becomes a target of periodic diagnosis executed by the control device 40 (ST506).

The periodic diagnosis by the control device 40 is executed when the CPU 406 of the control device 40 sequentially transmits a connection confirmation signal via the communication circuit 405 to the registered main room 30. Receiving the connection confirmation signal via the communication circuit 304, the room master unit 30 transmits a response signal to the connection confirmation signal to the control device 40 via the communication circuit 304 under the control of the CPU 306.
When receiving a response signal from the room master device 30, the control device 40 determines that there is no abnormality in the connection between the room master device 30 itself and the room master device 30.
On the other hand, when the response signal is not returned from the room master unit 30 to which the control device 40 has transmitted the connection confirmation signal, the CPU 406 determines that there is some abnormality in the connection between the room master unit 30 itself or the room master unit 30. Then, a connection abnormality signal is transmitted to the management room master unit 20 via the communication circuit 404. The management room base unit 20 that has received the connection abnormality signal displays a message indicating that the room base unit 30 is not connected on the display unit 203 under the control of the CPU 205 and sounds a warning sound.

On the other hand, when the power supply of the living room parent machine 30 is disconnected within a predetermined time, the CPU 306 of the living room parent machine 30 executes an ending operation for ending the living room parent machine 30, and during execution of this ending operation. A signal indicating that the power supply has been cut off is sent to the control device 40 via the transmission line L3.
As described above, when the CPU 406 of the control device 40 detects the power-off of the room master unit 30 before the predetermined time has elapsed after the timer 401 is activated, the control device 40 determines whether the CPU 406 Under control, the table 402 is operated, and the room master unit 30 is rewritten from temporary registration to non-registration, thereby shifting to non-registration (ST507).
The room master device 30 thus transferred to unregistered is not subject to the periodic diagnosis performed by the control device 40, similarly to the room master device 30 being temporarily registered (ST508).
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the table 402. As shown in this figure, the registration state of each room master unit 30 is recorded in the table 402.

Thereafter, when the control device 40 detects that the power to the unoccupied parent device 30 that has been transferred to the unregistered state is detected, the control device 40 performs temporary registration of the living room parent device 30 again (ST502). Further, when temporary registration of the room master unit 30 is executed, the timer 401 is activated to start counting a predetermined time. As described above, if it is not detected that the power source of the room master unit is turned off within a predetermined time after the provisional registration is performed, the main registration of the room base unit is performed (ST505).
FIG. 4 is an example of the timer 401 that is operating for each room master unit 30.

As described above, according to the collective housing intercom system 1 of the present embodiment, the base unit of the unoccupied unit is not turned on, and the unit is turned off in the unit used as a model room or the unit sold. Since the ON / OFF operation is frequently performed, the power of the living room master unit 30 of the dwelling unit is considered to be cut off within a predetermined time (for example, 8 hours). Therefore, the power is cut off within the predetermined time. By executing the main registration of the room master unit 30 other than the room master unit 30 detected by the control device 40, the room master unit 30 of the unoccupied unit can be excluded from the targets of the periodic diagnosis.
Moreover, according to the apartment house intercom system 1 of this embodiment, the temporary registration of the living room parent machine 30 is performed instead of performing communication between the control device 40 and the temporarily registered living room parent machine 30 many times. When the predetermined time has elapsed since then, the main registration of the room parent unit 30 whose power has not been cut off until the predetermined time has elapsed is configured to perform regular diagnosis. The parent device 30 can be appropriately shifted to the registered state without being affected by the communication failure.
Further, when the entire apartment house intercom system 1 is activated, the room master unit 30 connected to the control device 40 is not temporarily registered but temporarily registered. There is no need to perform a registration operation of provisional (holding) registration of the parent device 30, and convenience is high.

  In the present embodiment, it has been described that the temporary registration of all the room base units 30 recorded in the table 402 is executed when the entire apartment house intercom system 1 is activated. It is good also as a structure which performs provisional registration of all the living room master units 30 connected to. Moreover, when the collective housing intercom system 1 whole is started, it is good also as a structure which temporarily registers only the living room main | base station 30 which could communicate with the control apparatus 40. FIG.

  Moreover, when the control apparatus 40 detects that the power supply of the unregistered living room parent machine 30 was turned on after that, the collective housing intercom system 1 of this embodiment performs temporary registration of this living room parent machine 30, Since it is configured to perform the main registration of the room master unit 30 when it is not detected that the power source of the room base unit 30 is turned off within a predetermined time after the registration is performed, the main registration is performed. If the unregistered room master unit 30 is turned on, the room master unit 30 can be appropriately transferred to the main registration.

In the multi-family intercom system 1 of the present embodiment, as described above, when the power source of the living room parent unit 30 is disconnected within a predetermined time, the CPU 306 of the living room parent machine 30 ends the living room parent unit 30. For example, a signal indicating that the power has been cut off during execution of the end operation is notified to the control device 40. However, another configuration may be used.
For example, it is good also as a structure like the living room main | base station 31 of FIG.
The living room base unit 31 includes an operation unit 311, a call unit 312, a display unit 313, a communication circuit 314, a power supply unit 315, and a CPU 316 for controlling each unit of the living room base unit 30, like the living room base unit 30. However, it differs from the room master unit 30 in that it further includes another power supply unit 317.
This separate power supply unit 317 serves as a sub power supply for supplying power to the living room parent unit 31 when the power supply of the living room parent unit 31 is cut off within a predetermined time, and is configured using, for example, a storage battery. The
When detecting that power is supplied from the separate power source unit 317, the CPU 316 of the living room base unit 31 notifies the control device 40 of a signal indicating that the power source has been cut off.
Even if the room master unit 31 having such a configuration is used, the control device 40 can grasp whether the power source of the room master unit 30 is cut off.

Moreover, it is good also as a structure like the living room main | base station 32 and the control apparatus 41 of FIG. 6 instead of the living room main | base station 30 and the control apparatus 40. FIG.
Like the living room parent machine 30, the living room parent machine 32 includes an operation unit 321, a call unit 322, a display unit 323, a communication circuit 324, a power supply unit 325, and a CPU 326 for controlling each unit of the living room parent machine 30. However, it differs from the living room base unit 30 in that it further includes another line IF 327.
Like the control device 40, the control device 41 includes a timer 411, a table 412, a communication circuit 413, a communication circuit 414, a communication circuit 415, and a CPU 416. However, the control device 41 further includes a living room power supply monitoring unit 417. Different from the base unit 30.
The room master unit 32 having such a configuration is connected to the control device 41 via the communication cable L4.
The room power supply monitoring unit 417 monitors whether or not the power supply of each room base unit 32 is cut off through the communication cable L4.
Even when the room master unit 32 and the control device 41 having such a configuration are used, the control device 41 can grasp whether or not the power source of the room master unit 32 is cut off.

  Further, according to the apartment house intercom system 1 of the present embodiment, the manager can check the registered state of each of the living room master units 30 and operate the management room master unit 20 as necessary. Since the registered room master unit 30 can be fully registered, the convenience is high.
