Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement of an apartment house intercom system installed in an apartment house such as an apartment.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a housing complex intercom system, there is one in which a home mode and an absence mode can be switched and set as a response mode of a dwelling unit intercom for a call from a lobby intercom or a door phone (see Patent Document 1).

In the home mode, when the dwelling intercom accepts the call signal, it rings the call notification sound and enters a response standby state. When the response waiting time is reached, the call notification sound is stopped and the interphone line is cut off. As described above, in the housing complex intercom system, the response waiting time is set so that the lobby intercom and the intercom line are not occupied for a long time by one visitor and one dwelling unit.

  On the other hand, in the absence mode, immediately after receiving a call signal, the intercom line is connected and a message to the effect of absence is output, and then recording of the voice of the visitor is started.

  Therefore, if the absence mode is set when going out, the visitor's requirements can be confirmed when the resident comes home.

JP 2005-191853 A

  However, there are cases where the home mode and the absence mode alone are not sufficient in dealing with visitors.

In other words, even if the resident is at home, the response operation may not be possible immediately after taking a restroom or taking a bath. If the home mode is set, the response waiting time will expire and the user will not be able to respond. There is a problem that the person leaves immediately. This is often the case in dwelling units where elderly people who are slow to move or disabled people live alone.

  In consideration of such a situation, when it is not possible to respond immediately, it is possible to set an absence mode in which the recorded message can be confirmed later. However, since the absence mode is a mode for transmitting a message that the absence is present, the visitor who hears the message leaves early. Therefore, the resident can only confirm the requirements of the visitors who have left, and cannot communicate sufficiently thereafter.

  The present invention has been proposed in view of such circumstances, and its purpose is to inform the visitor of the situation when the resident cannot immediately answer the call and The object is to provide an apartment intercom system with a recording function.

In order to achieve the above object, an apartment house intercom system according to the present invention is an apartment house constructed by combining at least a lobby interphone installed at a common entrance and the like and an apartment interphone installed at each residence and connected to a doorphone. In the intercom system, the dwelling intercom accepts calls from the lobby intercom or door phone when the home recording mode is set, and a mode setting operation unit that selects and sets the home, absence, and home recording modes. A sound is generated, and after a predetermined response waiting time has elapsed, the sound is stopped, and after a response message is output indicating that the user is at home but cannot respond , a control unit that starts voice recording of the other party and a response standby time, and a timing setting operation unit that can be separately changed settings and response wait time home mode It is characterized in Rukoto.

  According to the apartment house intercom system of the present invention, since it has the above-described configuration, when a dweller cannot immediately answer a call, a predetermined message can be transmitted to record a visitor's business. Therefore, even if the resident cannot meet the call, the situation where the visitor thinks that he / she is absent by listening to the resident's message is avoided, and the resident can read the recorded message of the visitor. You can confirm the requirements by listening.

It is a block diagram which shows an example of the apartment house intercom system of this invention. It is a front general view of a dwelling unit intercom. It is a flowchart which shows an example of the basic operation | movement of this invention. It is a figure which shows an example of the setting screen of an absent recording mode. It is a figure which shows the other example of the mode setting method.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of an apartment house intercom system (hereinafter abbreviated as intercom system) of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a front view of a dwelling unit intercom used in the example.

  The intercom system 1 has a configuration in which a dwelling unit interphone 11 provided in each dwelling unit to which a door phone 12 is connected and a lobby intercom 13 provided in a lobby are connected by an interphone line L. The intercom line L transmits a calling signal and a call signal (including a video signal in the case of a television intercom system) between the lobby intercom 13, the door phone 12, and the dwelling intercom 11. Needless to say, the lobby intercom 13 and the dwelling unit intercom 11 may be connected by a single line, and the dwelling unit intercom 11 and the doorphone 12 may be connected by different lines.

  In addition, the intercom system 1 includes a control device 14 that controls calls and calls between the dwelling unit intercom 11 and the lobby intercom 13, a manager room unit 15 (alarm monitoring panel), and an authentication device (not shown) that authenticates the resident who has returned home. And so on.

  The dwelling unit intercom 11 is configured as a housing information board, and a security sensor (not shown) or the like is connected in addition to the door phone 12 so as to be able to monitor disaster prevention and crime prevention.

  The absence mode set by the mode selection button 11n is linked with a mode for alarm monitoring of illegal intrusion while out, and security sensors such as doors and windows are activated by the selection operation. On the other hand, when the home mode is selected by the selection button 11k, the alarm monitoring is canceled.

This home mode is set when the user is at home, and if there is a call from the lobby intercom 13 or the door phone 12 during the setting of this mode, the dwell unit intercom 11 calls the call until a predetermined response waiting time is reached under the control of the control unit 11a. A sound is heard and a response standby state is entered. Thereafter, when the response waiting time is reached, the calling notification sound is stopped, and the intercom line L is cut off. This response waiting time may be the same as the response waiting time in the home recording mode described later, or may be set separately.

  The absence mode is set when the resident goes out. If there is a call from the lobby intercom 13 or the door phone 12 while this mode is set, the dwelling interphone 11 immediately connects to the voice line upon receiving the call signal, outputs a predetermined message, and then records the voice of the visitor. To start.

  The home recording mode is set when a call cannot be answered immediately. This mode is a feature of the present invention, and setting operations and basic operations relating to this mode will be described later together with the description of FIGS.

  The recording / playback unit 11d built in the dwelling unit intercom 1 is configured to record and play back voices sent from the lobby intercom 13 and the door phone 12. Playback of the recorded voice message is started by operating the playback button 11j.

  In addition to the camera, the door phone 12 includes a call button, a speaker, a microphone (all not shown) and the like, and is supplied with power from the dwelling intercom 11 through a signal line.

  On the other hand, the lobby intercom 13 includes an operation unit for designating a room number of a call destination, a speaker, a microphone, and a camera for photographing a visitor (all of which are not shown). The lobby interphone 13 may be provided with an authentication operation unit connected to the authentication device as an integral body or as a separate body. In this case, if authentication by the authentication device is successful, the electric lock on the lobby door is automatically unlocked. In the example of FIG. 1, the number of lobby intercoms 13 is one, but it is desirable to provide a plurality of lobby intercoms 13 according to the number of units.

  The manager room unit 15 is a device that can make a call with the selected dwelling unit intercom 11 or the lobby interphone 13 and accepts an abnormality occurrence signal transmitted from the dwelling unit intercom 11 to perform a predetermined response process. The manager room 15 includes, as basic components, a monitor screen, a handset that constitutes a calling unit, an alarm lamp that constitutes an abnormality notifying means, a speaker (all not shown), and the like.

  The control device 14 is a device that controls signal transmission between the dwelling unit intercom 11 and the lobby intercom 13 or the manager room device 15, and the dwelling unit intercom 11, the lobby interphone 13, and the manager room unit 15 are connected to this device. Has been.

  The dwelling unit intercom 11 and the control device 14 are connected by a digital interphone line L, in which signal transmission specifying a transmission destination and a transmission source address is performed. The physical layer of the protocol is arbitrary, but it is preferable that TCP / IP can be used in the logical layer for the present invention. In this case, each dwelling unit intercom 11 is assigned a unique global IP address or local IP address. The signal transmission between the control device 14 and the lobby intercom 13 or the manager room 15 is the same. As the interphone line L, a general twisted pair cable may be used, but a dedicated cable may be used. The intercom line L has a communication band that allows at least all of the installed lobby intercoms 13 to transmit video and audio to and from the communication unit dwelling unit intercom 11 without hindrance.

  Next, the basic operation of the intercom system 1 will be described.

  The basic functions and operations of calling and communication control in the home mode or absence mode in the intercom system 1 are the same as those in the conventional system.

  That is, when a calling operation is performed with the dwelling unit number designated by the lobby interphone 13, the control unit 14 calls the dwelling unit intercom 11 of the designated dwelling unit. When the called intercom 11 is set to the home mode, the calling intercom 11 makes a call notification with a notification sound. Thereafter, when the call key 11g of the dwelling unit intercom 11 is operated, the control device 14 configures an exclusive call channel between the dwelling unit intercom 11 and the lobby intercom 13 so that the hands between the visitor and the dweller can be handled. Allow free calls. Thereafter, when the call key 11g is operated again or when a predetermined time has elapsed, the call channel is released. When there are a plurality of lobby intercoms 13, each call channel is controlled exclusively.

  Further, when the dwelling interphone 11 is set to the absence mode and a calling operation is performed from the lobby interphone 13, the dwelling unit intercom 11 connects the interphone line L as soon as it receives the calling signal, and is informed that it is away. Reply message of. Then, when the visitor inputs a voice request with the microphone of the lobby interphone 13, the dwelling interphone 11 records the audio signal sent through the interphone line L with the recording / reproducing unit 11d.

  If the absence mode is set as described above, the resident can operate the playback button 11j after returning home to reproduce the message left by the visitor and listen to the message.

  On the other hand, even when a calling operation is performed from the doorphone 12, the dwelling interphone 11 performs the same operation as that when calling from the lobby interphone 13, corresponding to each mode of staying at home and absence.

  In addition, the intercom system 1 functions as an alarm monitoring system for an apartment house, and the operation is the same as that of the conventional one.

  That is, when the security sensor detects an abnormality, the dwelling unit intercom 11 displays an alarm screen on the monitor screen 11e and outputs an alarm message from the speaker 11h. Moreover, the dwelling unit intercom 11 notifies the manager room device 15 of the occurrence of abnormality. When the manager room 15 receives the notification, it outputs an alarm. Thereafter, an evacuation message or the like can be output from the dwelling unit intercom 11 that has notified the occurrence of an abnormality or the neighboring dwelling unit intercom 11 according to the operation of the manager. In addition, the occurrence of abnormalities can be transferred to disaster prevention centers.

  Next, the setting of the home recording mode and the call operation under the home recording mode, which are the features of the present invention, will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the basic recording operation and setting of the home recording mode of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of setting a call response waiting time in the home recording mode.

  The home recording mode is set when, for example, a person who is unable to respond immediately to a call such as a toilet or bathing, or when a person who is physically disabled is at home. The home recording mode can be set to an effective state by operating the home recording selection button 11m of the mode setting operation unit 11b. Further, when the home recording mode is set, the home recording mode can be disabled by operating the home mode or absence mode selection buttons 11k and 11n.

First, the resident sets the home recording mode with the selection button 11m of the dwelling interphone 11, and further sets the response waiting time (notification sound ringing time) (60 seconds in the example) by operating the monitor screen 11e. When these settings are made, the dwelling intercom 11 stores the information and enters the home recording mode (S1 and S2 in FIG. 3). Since the response waiting time is stored in the memory by setting, it is not necessary to set it for each setting operation to the home recording mode, and it is only necessary to perform the setting operation when it is desired to change the time . In the example shown in FIG. 4, the response waiting time can be selected and set by operating the monitor screen 11e. It is desirable that a default value (for example, 60 seconds) is set and stored as the response waiting time at the time of factory shipment.

  Under this home recording mode, when a call operation is performed with the lobby interphone 13 or the door phone 12, a call signal is transmitted to the dwelling interphone 11 through the interphone line L (S3 and S4 in FIG. 3).

Upon receipt of the call signal, the dwelling unit intercom 11 operates the speaker 11h to sound a call notification sound, and stops ringing after the stored response waiting time has elapsed (S5 and S6 in FIG. 3). Moreover, in the dwelling unit intercom 11, you may perform call display by the character etc. on the monitor screen 11e as call alerting | reporting operation | movement.

  The dwelling unit intercom 11 connects the intercom line L after the ringing notification sound stops ringing, and transmits a predetermined message to the lobby intercom 13 or door phone 12 on which the call operation has been performed (S7 in FIG. 3). This message is preferably a message that can notify that the resident is at home but cannot respond immediately and prompts the visitor to record the message. For example, “You can't take your hands right now. Please give us your name and business.” Or “Please come back a little later because it ’s being imported. Please give us your name and business.”

  The lobby interphone 13 or the door phone 12 immediately reproduces the received message, and then transmits the voice signal of the voice message issued by the visitor to the microphone to the dwelling interphone 11 (S8 and S9 in FIG. 3).

  The dwelling interphone 11 records the audio signal transmitted through the interphone line L by the recording / reproducing unit 11d (S10 in FIG. 3).

  In the sequence as described above, the operation at the time of calling in the home recording mode is executed.

  The resident can reproduce the recorded message recorded in the above-mentioned home recording mode by operating the reproduction button 11j of the dwelling interphone 11, and can confirm this. Therefore, the resident can check the name and requirements of the customer who has visited during the toilet and bathing.

  In addition, since it is possible to inform the visitor that it is being taken in, etc., it is possible to make the visitor wait in the lobby, etc. without leaving, and then make the visitor call again. You can also.

  As described above, the intercom system 1 can be set to the home recording mode by operating the dwelling unit intercom 11, so that the dweller can communicate with the visitor after various acquisitions are completed. It can be done reliably. In particular, if the dweller is an elderly person or a physically handicapped person, the dweller can respond without being frustrated if the home recording mode is always set.

If the resident is in time for the response before the response waiting time , the communication key 11g is operated to perform the response operation, so that the dwelling intercom 11 can immediately connect to the interphone line L and be able to talk. Subsequent voice conversations with visitors are possible.

As for the response waiting time , the dweller may set an appropriate time in consideration of the size of the room and the like as described above with reference to FIG. The response waiting time is desirably set to an upper limit value (for example, 90 seconds) as shown in the example of FIG. 4 so that one visitor and one dwelling unit do not occupy the lobby intercom 13 and the intercom line L for a long time.

In the above example, the response waiting time can be set separately from the home recording mode setting operation through the monitor screen 11e, but may be set continuously in the mode setting. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the mode setting operation may be performed on the monitor screen 11e. When the setting is completed, the time limit setting screen shown in FIG. 4 is automatically output to the monitor screen 11e and the response is continued. You may enable it to set standby time .

  In the embodiment described above, the interphone system 1 that enables the call response in the three modes of home, home recording mode, and absence is illustrated, but even if the interphone system 1 can be switched between the home and home recording modes. Good.
