Specifically, for example, a tablet-type terminal such as iPad (registered trademark) or Android (registered trademark) or a smartphone equipped with iPhone (registered trademark) or Android (registered trademark) is used as the portable terminal 6.

  In the apartment intercom system configured as described above, an operation for confirming the physical condition of a resident as the resident support system of the present invention will be described below. The physical condition confirmation signal of the resident is periodically transmitted from the controller 4 to each living room master unit 2 and the portable terminal 6 and when the physical condition confirmation signal is operated by the operation of the management room master unit 3. There are three ways of transmitting the physical condition confirmation signal only to the dwelling unit selected by the operation of the management room base unit 3, but the confirmation operation for each resident is the same. Therefore, the description will be focused on the case of carrying out all at once. It is assumed that absence setting described later is not performed.

When a predetermined physical condition confirmation operation is performed from the management room base unit 3, a confirmation request signal is transmitted to the control unit 4, and is controlled by the control unit 47 to all the room base units 2 and the resident portable terminals 6. A physical condition confirmation signal requesting a safety response is transmitted. In addition, when the physical condition confirmation time set in the controller 4 is reached, the physical condition confirmation signal is similarly transmitted to all the room master units 2 and the resident portable terminals 6 under the control of the control unit 47.
Specifically, the physical condition confirmation signal is transmitted by the control unit 47 such as an e-mail address of the mobile terminal 6 associated with the resident from the storage unit 46 and an ID for starting an application held by the mobile terminal 6. The identification code is read, and a physical condition confirmation signal for requesting a physical condition confirmation response is transmitted to all portable terminals 6. The physical condition confirmation signal is transmitted from the external communication IF 45 to the mobile terminal 6 via the mobile phone communication network N.
At the same time, the control unit 47 also transmits a physical condition confirmation signal to the room master unit 2 and is transmitted to each room base unit 2 via the main unit trunk line L3.

Upon receiving the physical condition confirmation signal, the mobile terminal 6 starts an application for physical condition confirmation, and the activated application displays a message such as “Please input physical condition confirmation” on the display 6a, and a sound such as a melody. Start ringing, report sound, and perform response request operation.
On the other hand, the living room master unit 2 that has received the physical condition confirmation signal starts the physical condition confirmation operation under the control of the living room CPU 24, and displays, for example, a message “Please input physical condition confirmation” on the monitor 21 as with the portable terminal 6. Is done. Software that has the same user interface as the application installed on the mobile terminal 6 is also installed in the living room master unit 2 in advance.

  In this initial stage, the room master unit 2 only displays the physical condition confirmation and does not report. The message to be displayed in response to the physical condition confirmation signal may be further selected by selecting items, for example, “1. Good. 2. Normal. 3. Not good.” May be.

  When the resident who has confirmed the display of the portable terminal 6 by the report sound notification performs a response operation on the operation unit 6 b of the portable terminal 6, a physical condition confirmation response signal is returned to the controller 4 via the portable telephone communication network N. At the same time, the reporting operation is stopped. The control device 4 that has received the response signal stores the response information in the storage unit 46, and transmits a physical condition confirmation end signal to the living room parent device 2 associated with the portable terminal 6 that is the response signal transmission source. The room parent device 2 that has received this end signal ends the physical condition confirmation response requesting operation.

  On the other hand, you may reply with the living room main | base station 2, In that case, it is as follows. When the resident operates and operates the operation unit 23 of the living room parent unit 2 in a state where the physical condition confirmation message is displayed on both the living room parent unit 2 and the portable terminal 6, a response signal is transmitted to the control unit 4. The The control device 4 that has received this response signal stores the response information in the storage unit 46 under the control of the control unit 47 and is associated with the room base unit 2 that has made a response operation via the mobile phone communication network N. 6, an end signal for ending physical condition confirmation is transmitted. The mobile terminal 6 that has received the end signal stops the display on the display 6a and stops sounding, and ends the response requesting operation.

However, when no response signal is received, the operation is as follows. After transmitting the physical condition confirmation signal, if there is no response signal for a predetermined time (for example, 1 minute), the control unit 47 switches to the physical condition confirmation signal including the sound report instruction signal and transmits it to the room master unit 2 of the corresponding dwelling unit. To do. Upon receiving this physical condition confirmation signal, the room master unit 2 continues to display the message “please input physical condition confirmation” on the monitor 21 under the control of the room CPU 24, and from the sound unit 22 to sound a sound such as a melody. Start the response request operation.
Note that the sounding sound in the room master unit 2 may prompt the resident's response by increasing the sounding sound volume of the sound unit 22 if there is no resident's response operation thereafter.

  In this way, when the resident responds to the operation unit 23 of the room base unit 2 while displaying the physical condition confirmation message on both the room base unit 2 and the portable terminal 6 and reporting the sound, the room CPU 24 sends a response signal. Is output to the controller 4 and the physical condition confirmation operation is terminated. The control unit 47 of the controller 4 receives the response signal from the living room parent device 2, stores the response information in the storage unit 46, and finishes the physical condition confirmation for the portable terminal 6 associated with the living room parent device 2. An end signal is transmitted. The mobile terminal 6 that has received the end signal stops the display on the display 6a, stops the sounding of the sound unit, and ends the response request operation.

  After a physical condition confirmation signal is transmitted, the control unit 47 transmits a physical condition confirmation response result to the management room main unit 3 based on the response signal returned during that period of time (for example, 3 minutes) waiting for a response. The physical condition confirmation information as a result is displayed on the monitor 32 of the management room master unit 3. The administrator can grasp the result of the physical condition confirmation by viewing this display. This display may be sequentially transmitted to the management room base unit 3 in the order in which the response signals are received.

  Further, the control unit 47 ends the physical condition confirmation operation when a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) has passed since the physical condition confirmation signal is transmitted, and if there is a resident who has not responded during that time, an abnormality has occurred in the control room base unit 3 The control room base unit 3 transmits a signal, displays an abnormality occurrence on the monitor 32 (displays an abnormality occurrence unit number and a resident name), and issues an alarm notification from the acoustic unit 33. As a result, the manager can recognize the occurrence of an abnormality and go to the resident's dwelling unit to cope with the resident's abnormal situation.

Thus, since the resident receives notification of physical condition confirmation from both the portable terminal 6 and the living room base unit 2, it is easy to notice and respond easily. Moreover, since it can respond from the portable terminal 6 in response to physical condition confirmation, it can respond even if it has gone out, and physical condition confirmation can be performed regardless of the presence / absence of a resident, and erroneous reports are unlikely to occur. And since a check result is displayed on the management room main | base station 3, it is easy for an administrator to grasp | ascertain a resident's condition.
In addition, since only the portable terminal 6 reports, it is possible to prevent the in-room master unit 2 installed in the room from reporting and surprise the resident, and if there is no response, the in-room master unit 2 also reports. Because it sounds, the residents can be prevented from being missed.
In order to make the apartment intercom system installed in the apartment house function as a resident support system, there is no need to install a resident support system separately. it can.

Next, the operation when the absence setting is performed will be described.
The operations up to now have been described when the resident is in the room or when the portable terminal 6 is taken out without setting the vacancy, but the resident operates the living room master unit 2 to set the vacancy. Next, the physical condition confirmation operation when going out will be described.
First, when the absence setting is made by a predetermined operation or by operating a dedicated absence setting button in the living room parent machine 2, an absence signal is transmitted from the living room parent machine 2 to the controller 4, and the controller 4 The fact that the resident of the absence signal transmission source is absent is stored in the storage unit 46. This memory is maintained until a canle signal is transmitted from the room master unit 2.

When the physical condition check is started in a state where the absent home base unit 2 exists, the controller 4 transmits all other living rooms except the mobile terminals 6 of all the residents and the absent home base unit 2. A physical condition confirmation signal is transmitted to the parent device 2. The control unit 47 reads from the storage unit 46 whether the resident is in the room or absent, and does not transmit a physical condition confirmation signal to the room base unit 2 set to be absent.
Hereinafter, since the operation is similar to the above-described operation with respect to the portable terminal 6 carried by the resident of the resident room 2 and the dwelling unit that is not set to be absent, the description is omitted, and the dwelling of the dwelling unit 2 that is set to be absent and the dwelling of the dwelling unit. The operation of the portable terminal 6 carried by the person will be described.

The portable terminal 6 carried by the resident who has been set to be absent in the living room master unit 2 receives the physical condition confirmation signal, activates the physical condition confirmation application, and displays, for example, “Enter physical condition confirmation”. And a sound such as a melody.
On the other hand, since the absent parent base unit 2 does not receive the physical condition confirmation signal, the response request operation is not performed.

  When the resident who has been absent at this stage operates the operation unit 6b of the mobile terminal 6 in response to the outside, the physical condition confirmation response signal is transmitted to the controller 4 via the mobile phone communication network N, and the control unit 47 Stores the response information in the storage unit 46 and ends the physical condition confirmation for this resident.

However, when a resident returns home without transmitting a response after transmitting a physical condition confirmation signal, the following operation is performed. For example, if the occupant base unit 2 is operated to cancel the absence setting by the resident who has returned home before five minutes have passed since the physical condition confirmation signal is transmitted, a cancel signal for canceling the absence setting is issued. The control unit 47 receives this cancel signal, cancels the absence setting, and starts transmitting a physical condition confirmation signal to the source base unit 2 that has transmitted the cancel signal.
However, the physical condition confirmation signal transmitted at this time includes a sound report instruction signal, and the received room master unit 2 displays a message such as “Please input physical condition confirmation” on the monitor 21 under the control of the room CPU 24. In addition, the sound requesting operation is performed by causing the sound unit 22 to sound a melody or the like.

When a resident who notices the response request operation of the living room master unit 2 performs a response operation from the living room master unit 2, a response signal is transmitted to the controller 4. And the physical condition confirmation with respect to a resident is complete | finished by this response operation, and the response request | requirement operation | movement of both the living room main | base station 2 and the portable terminal 6 is complete | finished.
Further, when a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) has elapsed since the physical condition confirmation signal was transmitted, the physical condition confirmation operation is terminated. If there is a resident who has not responded during that time, an abnormality occurrence signal is transmitted from the control unit 4 to the management room base unit 3 as described above, and the occurrence of the abnormality is displayed on the monitor 32 of the management room base unit 3. An alarm notification operation is performed.

In this way, it is possible to prevent the living room master unit 2 from reporting in the dwelling unit where the resident is away from home, etc., and to prevent anxiety in the vicinity, and the response from the living room base unit 2 It is not necessary to wait for the operation, and it is possible to simplify the physical condition check.
In addition, when the resident returns at the time of physical condition confirmation, the occupant base unit 2 is also notified in response to the absence setting canceling operation, so even if the resident does not notice the response request operation of the portable terminal 6, the report of the occupant base unit 2 Recognizable with sound.

When the sensor 26 connected to the room master unit 2 can detect the presence of a person such as a human sensor or a door sensor, the room CPU 24 outputs a cancel signal in response to the sensor signal to cancel the absence setting. It is also possible to prevent the resident from forgetting to cancel the absence setting, and to perform a response request operation on the base unit 2 before performing the releasing operation.
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the resident | support support system is constructed | assembled using a collective housing intercom system, you may form a dedicated system and may comprise using another communication system. .

  The resident support system can also be used as a resident medication management system. The controller 4 stores the medication time, stores an ID that activates the related application at the same time, and installs an application for displaying a medication name and the like for notifying the medication on the portable terminal 6. When it is time to take a medication, a medication confirmation signal is transmitted to the corresponding portable terminal 6 and living room base unit 2 in the same manner as the physical condition confirmation signal. It is possible to provide support for medication to the resident and prevent the resident from forgetting to take the medication by displaying the message “It is time” and sending back a confirmation signal.

  Furthermore, this resident support system can also be used for management of vital data such as the pulse and blood pressure of the resident. An ID for starting a related application for obtaining vital data is stored in the control unit 4, an application for displaying the vital data is installed in the portable terminal, and a predetermined vital data request of the management room base unit is installed A medical examination notification signal is transmitted by an operation in the same manner as a physical condition confirmation signal, and the data measured by the resident himself is input to the portable terminal 6 so that vital data such as the resident's pulse and blood pressure is input to the monitor 32 of the management room master unit 3. It is also possible to support health management by displaying.
