  (Screen Transition in Mobile Terminal 4) Next, screen transition in the mobile terminal 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 7 are screen transition diagrams of the mobile terminals 4a to 4c of each user (mom, dad, and Taro). Here, the description will be made on the screen transition after the message board server 1 posts the visitor MSG and transmits the visitor notification to the portable terminal 4. Each of the screen diagrams shown in FIGS. 4 to 7 is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this example. Moreover, below, when it is necessary to distinguish each part of portable terminal 4a-4c, the alphabet similar to portable terminal 4a-4c is added and demonstrated to the member number of each part, in order to distinguish each.

  When receiving the visitor notification, the execution unit 32 outputs an instruction for generating the visitor notification image 61 to the display control unit 33. Upon receiving the instruction, the display control unit 33 causes the display unit 43 to display a visitor notification image 61 as shown in FIGS.

  The visitor notification image 61 is preferably different from the notification image in the case where write data other than the visitor MSG (for example, write data generated by the user) is posted. In this case, the message board server 1 transmits information indicating the type of the write data to the portable terminal 4 together with the notification indicating that the write data has been posted. The information is, for example, information indicating whether the write data is a visitor MSG or write data other than the visitor MSG, but is not limited to this example. And the portable terminal 4 (execution part 32) produces | generates the alerting image at the time of writing data other than the visitor alerting | reporting image 61 or the visitor MSG based on the received information. Thereby, the user can distinguish the posting of the visitor MSG and the posting of other write data, and can immediately recognize that the visitor has come. Further, when the visitor notification is received (when the visitor MSG is posted), the execution unit 32 may instruct the voice control unit 34 to output a dedicated voice when the visitor notification is received. In addition, when a visitor notification is received, a light emitting unit (not shown) may be turned on (or blinked) with a dedicated color or time. The execution unit 32 may change the notification method according to information indicating the type of write data. Further, the visitor notification image 61 (and the notification image when written data other than the visitor MSG is posted) may be an image including a character string of a predetermined number of characters from the beginning of the text included in the written data. .

  Subsequently, based on the user's operation input to the operation unit 42, the display control unit 33 causes the display unit 43 to display the message board screen shown in (d) to (f) of FIG. 4. Specifically, when the execution unit 32 receives the input information, it transmits a family message board acquisition request to the message board server 1. When the execution unit 32 receives the writing display data, the execution unit 32 generates a message board screen including the visitor MSG according to the priority 92 read from the storage unit 45 and outputs the message board screen to the display control unit 33. The display control unit 33 generates a message board screen based on the received information and causes the display unit 43 to display it. Here, “0” is stored as the priority 92 in the mother's portable terminal 4a (first device). In this case, as shown in FIG. 4D, the display control unit 33a displays a visitor MSG 62a including a visitor still image 63 and a call start button 64 on the display unit 43a. On the other hand, “1” is stored as the priority level 92 in the father's mobile terminal 4b (second device), and “2” is stored as the priority level 92 in the mobile terminal 4c (second device) of Taro. In this case, as shown in FIGS. 4E and 4F, the display control unit 33b and the display control unit 33c display the visitor MSG 62b and the visitor MSG 62c including text indicating the remaining time instead of the call start button 64. 43b and the display unit 43c.

  When the mother touches the call start button 64 on the message board screen shown in FIG. 4D, the execution unit 32a transmits the call start notification and the user ID of the user of the portable terminal 4a to the message board server 1 (call control unit 18). In addition, a call screen is generated and output to the display control unit 33a. Thereby, the portable terminal 4a and the shared calling machine 6 are connected so as to be able to make a call by the connection destination determination unit 24, and the call screen shown in FIG. 4G is displayed on the display unit 43a. The call screen includes a moving picture 65 showing the visitor acquired by the shared call machine 6, and further, an icon indicating the user participating in the conversation (the mother icon “MI” in FIG. 4G) and the conversation. It includes icons indicating users that can be invited (in FIG. 4G, the father's icon “FI” and Taro's icon “TI”). An icon indicating a user who can be invited to a conversation is also a UI (invitation button) for inviting the user indicated by the icon to the conversation.

  In addition, the terminal screen control unit 23 of the message board server 1 that has received the call start notification displays a display of the remaining time in the visitor MSG 62b and the visitor MSG 62c, and a join button 69 for requesting participation in the conversation ((c) in FIG. 5). The correction unit 22 is instructed to switch to “see”. The correcting unit 22 corrects the visitor MSG in response to the instruction and transmits it to the mobile terminal 4b and the mobile terminal 4c. The display control unit 33b and the display control unit 33c that have received the modified visitor MSG switch the visitor MSG on the family message board to the modified visitor MSG. Accordingly, the display unit 43b and the display unit 43c display the visitor MSG 62b and the visitor MSG 62c (the visitor MSG including the participation button 69) shown in (h) of FIG. 4 and (i) of FIG.

  A configuration in which the participation button 69 is displayed on the visitor MSG of another mobile terminal 4 when the call start button 64 is touched on the mobile terminal 4 is an example. Regardless of whether or not the button 64 is touched, the participation button 69 may be displayed when a time corresponding to the priority 92 has elapsed.

  Subsequently, on the message board screen shown in FIG. 4G, when the mother touches the invitation button 66 for inviting the father, the execution unit 32a invites another user to the conversation, the portable terminal 4a. The user ID indicating the user (mother) and the user ID indicating the user (dad) to be invited are transmitted to the message board server 1. And the terminal screen control part 23 of the message board server 1 will instruct | indicate the production | generation of the inviting image which shows that the user of the portable terminal 4b is being invited to the portable terminal 4a, if the invitation notification is received. In response to the instruction, the execution unit 32a generates an inviting image and outputs it to the display control unit 33a. Thereby, as shown to (a) of FIG. 5, the in-invitation image is displayed on the display part 43a.

  The correcting unit 22 corrects the visitor MSG in response to an instruction from the terminal screen control unit 23. Specifically, a text indicating that the user (mother) of the mobile terminal 4a is invited to the conversation and a participation button 68 are added to the visitor MSG. Then, the corrected visitor MSG is transmitted to the mobile terminal 4b. Thereby, the display control unit 33b displays the modified visitor MSG 62b received as shown in FIG. 5B on the display unit 43b.

  Here, when the father touches the participation button 68, the execution unit 32 b transmits a conversation participation notification indicating that he / she participates in the conversation to the message board server 1. As a result, the connection destination determination unit 24 connects the portable terminal 4b and the shared caller 6 so that they can make a call. Then, the terminal addition notification indicating that the mobile terminal 4 has been added and the father's user ID are transmitted to the mobile terminal 4 of the user participating in the other conversation (in this example, the mobile terminal 4a). Then, based on an instruction from the execution unit 32, the display control unit 33a deletes the inviting image from the display unit 43a, and causes the display unit 43a to display the corrected call screen acquired from the execution unit 32. The corrected call screen is the same as the call screen shown in FIG. 5E and will be described later.

  In addition, the execution unit 32b generates a call screen and outputs the call screen to the display control unit 33b. Thus, the call screen shown in FIG. 5E is displayed on the display unit 43b. In the call screen shown in FIG. 5E, since the father participated in the conversation, there are two icons “MI” and “FI” indicating the user participating in the conversation. Further, the icon indicating the user who can be invited to the conversation is only “TI”.

  Here, on the message board screen shown in FIG. 5C, when Taro-kun touches the participation button 69, the execution unit 32c sends a participation request notification for requesting participation to a user who has already participated in the conversation. It transmits to the message board server 1 with the user ID which shows the user (Taro-kun) of 4c. And the terminal screen control part 23 of the message board server 1 will identify the user (mother) with the highest priority among the users currently participating in conversation with reference to priority DB26, if a participation request notification is received. . Then, the mobile terminal 4a of the identified user is instructed to generate a participation selection image for selecting whether to permit the participation request. In response to the instruction, the execution unit 32a generates a participation selection image 71. And the display control part 33a displays the participation selection image 71 on the display part 43a, as shown to (d) of FIG. The participation selection image 71 includes a permission button 72 for permitting the participation request and a non-permission button for not permitting the participation request.

  The correcting unit 22 corrects the visitor MSG in response to an instruction from the terminal screen control unit 23. Specifically, a text indicating that a participation request is made to the user (mother) of the mobile terminal 4a and a stop button for canceling the participation request are added to the visitor MSG. Then, the modified visitor MSG is transmitted to the portable terminal 4c. As a result, the display control unit 33c causes the display unit 43c to display the modified customer MSG 62c received as shown in FIG. 5 (f).

  Subsequently, when the mother touches the permission button 72 on the call screen shown in FIG. 5D, the execution unit 32a transmits a permission notice indicating that the participation request is permitted to the message board server 1. The execution unit 32a outputs an instruction to delete the participation selection image 71 to the display control unit 33a. Thereby, the display control unit 33a deletes the participation selection image 71 from the call screen.

  When receiving the permission notification, the connection destination determination unit 24 connects the portable terminal 4c and the shared caller 6 so that they can talk. Further, the terminal screen control unit 23 transmits a call screen generation instruction to the mobile terminal 4c. Thereby, the display control part 33c displays the call screen which the execution part 32 produced | generated on the display part 43c, as shown to (i) of FIG. In the call screen shown in (i) of FIG. 5, since Taro-kun has participated in the conversation, there are three icons indicating “MI”, “FI”, and “TI” indicating the user who is participating in the conversation.

  Further, the terminal screen control unit 23 sends a terminal addition notification indicating that the mobile terminal 4 has been added and the user ID of Taro to the mobile terminals 4 of the users participating in other conversations (in this example, mobile To the terminal 4a and the portable terminal 4b). Thereby, the execution part 32a and the execution part 32b correct a call screen. The call screen after modification shown in (g) of FIG. 5 and (h) of FIG. 5 is the same as the call screen shown in (i) of FIG.

  Next, on the call screen shown in FIG. 5G, when the mother touches the call end button 73, the execution unit 32a generates an end confirmation image for confirming the end of the call, and outputs it to the display control unit 33a. . The display control unit 33a displays an end confirmation image 74 on the display unit 43a as shown in FIG. The end confirmation image 74 includes an accept button 75 (UI labeled “Yes”) for ending the call, and a disapproval button (UI labeled “No”) for returning to the call screen without ending the call. including. Subsequently, in the end confirmation image 74 shown in FIG. 6A, when the mother touches the consent button 75, the execution unit 32 a transmits a call end notification and the mother user ID to the message board server 1.

  Upon receiving the call end notification, the connection destination determination unit 24 disconnects the user's mobile terminal 4 (mother's mobile terminal 4a) indicated by the received user ID from the shared caller 6 and ends the call. Further, the terminal screen control unit 23 instructs the correction unit 22 to correct the visitor MSG. And the correction part 22 receives the instruction | indication from the terminal screen control part 23, and corrects customer MSG. Specifically, the terminal screen control unit 23 refers to the priority DB 26, identifies the user (dad) having the highest priority among the users currently participating in the conversation, and identifies it together with the instruction for correcting the visitor MSG. The user ID indicating the done user is transmitted to the correction unit 22. The correction unit 22 includes text indicating that the user (dad) specified by the terminal screen control unit 23 is in a call, text indicating that the user can participate in the conversation by touching the participation button, and for participating in the conversation. Add a join button to the visitor MSG. Then, the corrected visitor MSG is transmitted to the mobile terminal 4a. As a result, the display control unit 33a causes the display unit 43a to display the modified visitor MSG 62a received as shown in FIG. 6 (g).

  In addition, the terminal screen control unit 23 gives an instruction to modify the call screen based on the fact that the mobile terminal 4 has left the conversation, together with the mother user ID, in the other mobile terminals 4 (in this example, the mobile terminals 4b and 4c). Send to. Thereby, the execution part 32b and the execution part 32c correct a call screen. As shown in FIG. 6E and FIG. 6F, the corrected call screen has two icons “FI” and “TI” indicating the user participating in the conversation. An icon indicating a user who can be invited to the conversation is “MI”.

  Subsequently, when the dad touches the call end button 73 on the call screen shown in FIG. 6E, the same processing as that of the mother described above is executed. That is, in the father's portable terminal 4b, the display control unit 33b displays the message board screen shown in FIG. 7B on the display unit 43b. In the visitor MSG shown in FIG. 7B, since the user with the highest priority among the users currently participating in the conversation is Taro-kun, a text indicating that Taro-kun is busy is displayed. Has been.

  In addition, the call screen of the mobile terminal 4c is corrected by a call screen correction instruction transmitted to Taro's mobile terminal 4c when the father ends the call. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7C, the icon indicating the user participating in the conversation is “TI” only. In addition, icons indicating users who can be invited to the conversation are “MI” and “FI”.

  Subsequently, when Taro touches the call end button 73 on the call screen shown in FIG. 7C, the same processing as that of the mother described above is executed. However, the terminal screen control unit 23 instructs the correction unit 22 to correct the visitor MSG, and outputs the user ID of the user (Taro-kun) who ended the call and the date and time when the call ended. Then, the correction unit 22 adds a text indicating that Taro-kun has been accepted and a text indicating the date and time when the call is terminated to the customer MSG. Then, the modified visitor MSG is transmitted to all the mobile terminals 4 (mobile terminal 4a, mobile terminal 4b, mobile terminal 4c). Thereby, the display control part 33 of each portable terminal 4 displays on the display part 43 the visitor MSG62 after correction | amendment received as shown to (g)-(i) of FIG.

  (Screen Transition in Indoor Monitor 5) Next, screen transition in the indoor monitor 5 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a screen transition diagram in the indoor monitor 5. Here, the screen transition after the moving image data is received from the IP control device 3 will be described. In addition, each screen figure shown in FIG. 8 is an example, and is not limited to this example.

  When receiving the moving image data from the IP control device 3, the response control unit 35 generates a response screen including the moving image indicated by the moving image data and outputs the response screen to the display control unit 38. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8A, the response screen is a screen switching for switching to a screen based on the video indicated by the video data, the call start button 81 for starting a call, and the message board application 93. A button 82 is included. The display control unit 38 causes the display unit 54 to display the acquired response screen.

  When the user touches the call start button 81 on the response screen shown in FIG. 8A, the response control unit 35 instructs the voice control unit 39 to activate the microphone 57 and the speaker 58. Thereby, a call with the visitor in front of the common calling machine 6 becomes possible. In addition, the response control unit 35 generates a response screen after the call starts and outputs the response screen to the display control unit 38. As a result, the display control unit 38 causes the display unit 54 to display a response screen including the call end button 83 instead of the call start button 81 as shown in FIG.

  Subsequently, in the response screen shown in FIG. 8B, when the user touches the screen switching button 82, the execution unit 36 is a terminal for confirming the portable terminal 4 that is connected to the shared caller 6 so as to be able to make a call. A confirmation request is transmitted to the message board server 1.

  When the terminal screen control unit 23 receives the terminal confirmation request, the terminal screen control unit 23 specifies the mobile terminal 4 that is connected to the shared caller 6 so as to be able to make a call, and transmits the user ID of the specified mobile terminal 4 to the indoor monitor 5.

  When receiving the user ID, the execution unit 36 generates a call screen and outputs it to the display control unit 38. As shown in FIG. 8C, the call screen includes a moving image showing a visitor, a call end button, an icon indicating a user participating in the conversation, and an icon 84 indicating a user who can be invited to the conversation. When the display control unit 38 acquires the call screen, the display control unit 38 displays it on the display unit 54. The icon 84 is also a UI (invitation button) for inviting the user indicated by the icon to the conversation. When generating the call screen, the execution unit 36 refers to the received user ID to identify an icon to be displayed in the “participating in conversation” column and an icon to be displayed in the “invite to conversation” column. Specifically, an icon indicating the user of the received user ID is displayed in the “participating in conversation” field, and other icons are displayed in the “inviting to conversation” field. FIG. 8C shows an example in which all the mobile terminals 4 are not connected to the common calling machine 6 so as to be able to talk, that is, the user ID is not received.

  When the user touches the icon 84, the execution unit 36 transmits an invitation notification and an indoor monitor ID for inviting another user to the conversation to the message board server 1. Thereafter, the same process as when the invitation button 66 is touched on the mobile terminal 4 is executed, and another user can participate in the conversation. In addition, the user who uses the indoor monitor 5 is not limited to a resident (in this embodiment, father, mother, Taro-kun). For example, a grandmother who has come to play responds to a visitor's call using the indoor monitor 5, operates the indoor monitor 5 to invite the father to the conversation, and sends an invitation notice and the indoor monitor ID to the message board server 1. May be.

  Further, the call screen shown in FIG. 8C includes a screen switching button 85. When the user touches the screen switching button 85, the response control unit 35 outputs a screen switching instruction to the response screen shown in FIG. 8B to the display control unit 38. As a result, the display control unit 38 causes the display unit 54 to display the response screen shown in FIG.

  When the user touches the screen switching button 82 on the response screen shown in FIG. 8A, the execution unit 36 transmits a family message board acquisition request to the message board server 1. When the writing display data is received, the message board screen shown in FIG. 8D is generated based on the writing display data and is output to the display control unit 38. The display control unit 38 displays the message board screen on the display unit 54. Here, when the user touches the call start button 86 included in the customer MSG, the execution unit 36 outputs a screen switching instruction to the response screen shown in FIG. 8B to the display control unit 38. Then, the display control unit 38 causes the display unit 54 to display the response screen shown in FIG. When the user touches the screen switching button 87, the execution unit 36 outputs a screen switching instruction to the response screen shown in FIG. 8A to the display control unit 38. Then, the display control unit 38 causes the display unit 54 to display the response screen shown in FIG.

  (Flow of Visitor Response Processing) Next, the flow of visitor response processing will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of the flow of visitor reception processing according to the present embodiment.

  First, when MC 2 receives information indicating that a visitor has performed a call operation at shared call machine 6 from IP control device 3 (YES in S 1), MC 2 captures a video transmitted from shared call machine 6. Still image data is generated (S2). Then, the MC 2 generates a draft of the visitor MSG indicating the visitor including the visitor's still image (S3), and transmits the generated draft to the message board server 1 together with the specified indoor monitor ID (S4). ).

  Subsequently, the generation unit 21 of the message board server 1 that has received the draft generates a visitor MSG from the received draft (S11, generation step), and outputs it to the message board management unit 14 together with the group ID specified from the received indoor monitor ID. Subsequently, the message board management unit 14 posts the visitor MSG on the family message board indicated by the group ID (S12, posting step). Moreover, the message board management part 14 notifies that the customer MSG was posted to the portable terminal 4 indicated by the terminal ID associated with the group ID (S13).

  Then, the execution part 32 of the portable terminal 4 which received notification (visitor notification) alert | reports that customer MSG was posted (S21). Specifically, the display control unit 33 is instructed to display the visitor notification image 61 on the display unit 43. Subsequently, when the operation unit 42 receives a display operation of the message board screen (YES in S22), the display control unit 33 uses the image data for displaying the message board screen received from the execution unit 32, according to the priority. The message board screen is displayed (S23). Specifically, when the priority stored in the mobile terminal 4 is “0”, the visitor MSG including the call start button 64 is displayed. On the other hand, when the priority is “1” or “2”, the visitor MSG including text indicating the remaining time until the call start button 64 is displayed is displayed.

  Next, when the message board server 1 receives a write correction notification from the mobile terminal 4 (YES in S14), the terminal screen control unit 23 outputs an instruction according to the content of the write correction notification to the correction unit 22. The correcting unit 22 corrects the posted customer MSG according to the received instruction (S15). And the correction part 22 transmits the customer MSG after correction to the portable terminal 4 according to the write correction notification (S16). The display control unit 33 of the portable terminal 4 displays the visitor MSG received from the execution unit 32 (the visitor MSG received from the message board server 1) on the display unit 43 (S24).

  On the other hand, when the write correction notification is not received (NO in S14), steps S15 and S16 are omitted. The write correction notification is a notification that the correction unit 22 corrects the visitor MSG based on receiving the notification. Specifically, the call start notification, the invitation notification, the participation request notification, and the call end notification described above. That's it. Subsequently, the mobile terminal 4 executes a call process (S25). Details of the call processing will be described later.

  Next, when the message board server 1 receives a call start notification from the mobile terminal 4 (YES in S17), the connection destination determination unit 24 connects the mobile terminal 4 that has transmitted the call start notification and the shared caller 6 so that a call can be made. (S18). On the other hand, when the call start notification is not received (NO in S17), step S18 is omitted. Then, the connection destination determination unit 24 determines whether or not the customer service has been completed (S19). Specifically, it is determined whether or not all the mobile terminals 4 that are connected to the common caller 6 so as to be able to talk with each other have been disconnected from the common caller 6. If the visitor reception has not ended (NO in S19), that is, if there is a mobile terminal 4 that is connected to the shared caller 6 so as to be able to talk, the visitor reception process returns to step S14. On the other hand, when the customer service is completed (YES in S19), the customer service process is terminated.

  (Flow of Call Processing) Next, the flow of call processing will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of a call processing flow. Note that FIG. 10 illustrates an example in which one user out of a plurality of users (residents) talks to a visitor and the call ends without other users participating.

  First, when the time according to the priority elapses (YES in S31), the display control unit 33 displays the visitor MSG (see FIG. 4D) including the call start button 64 generated by the execution unit 32 on the display unit 43. Display. Subsequently, when the operation unit 42 receives a call start operation, specifically, a touch operation on the call start button 64 (YES in S32), the execution unit 32 transmits a call start notification to the message board server 1 (S33). . The display control unit 33 displays the call screen generated by the execution unit 32 on the display unit 43 (S34). As described above, the call screen includes a moving image showing a visitor, and the moving image is continuously transmitted from the common calling machine 6 to the portable terminal 4 via the family message board server 1. As a result, the display control unit 33 causes the display unit 43 to display a moving image showing the visitor.

  Subsequently, when the execution unit 32 receives voice data from the message board server 1 (YES in S35), the voice control unit 34 outputs voice from the speaker 47 using the voice data received from the execution unit 32 (S36). . On the other hand, when audio data is not received (NO in S35), the process of step S36 is omitted. Subsequently, when the microphone 46 accepts voice input (YES in S37), the microphone 46 converts the voice into voice data. And the execution part 32 transmits the said audio | voice data to the message board server 1 (S38). On the other hand, if no voice input is accepted (NO in S37), the process returns to step S35.

  Subsequently, when the operation unit 42 receives a call end operation, specifically, a touch operation on the acceptance button 75 in the end confirmation image 74 (YES in S39), the execution unit 32 sends a call end notification to the message board server 1. (S40). Further, the display control unit 33 displays a message board screen including the modified visitor MSG received from the execution unit 32 (S41). On the other hand, if the call termination operation has not been accepted (NO in S39), the process returns to step S35. That is, the portable terminal 4 transmits and receives voice data to and from the message board server 1 until accepting an operation for ending the call. The call process is thus completed.

  (Processing Flow of Each Mobile Terminal 4 in Call Processing) Next, a processing flow in each of the mobile terminals 4a to 4c during call processing will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a sequence diagram showing the flow of processing in each mobile terminal 4 (mobile terminals 4a to 4c) during the call processing. FIG. 11 illustrates an example in which the mother has the highest priority, and the mother's mobile terminal 4a is first connected to the shared caller 6 so as to be able to talk. Also, in this example, an example will be described in which the father's mobile terminal 4b is invited from the mobile terminal 4a, and Taro's mobile terminal 4c makes a participation request to the mobile terminal 4a. Note that the processing flow shown in FIG. 11 is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this example.

  Further, although the actual mobile terminal 4 transmits and receives information via the message board server 1, in FIG. 11, description of the processing flow of the message board server 1 is omitted in consideration of easy viewing. Moreover, below, the same alphabet as the portable terminals 4a-4c is added and demonstrated to the member number of each part of the portable terminals 4a-4c, in order to distinguish each.

  First, in the portable terminal 4a, when the operation unit 42a accepts an invitation operation, that is, a touch operation to the invitation button 66 (see (g) in FIG. 4) (YES in S51), the execution unit 32a sends an invitation notice to the message board. It transmits to the server 1 (S52). On the other hand, when the invitation operation is not accepted (NO in S51), the process in step S52 is omitted.

  Subsequently, when the mobile terminal 4b is invited to the call (YES in S61), that is, when the invitation notification is transmitted to the message board server 1, the execution unit 32b causes the message board server 1 to enter the join button 68 ((b in FIG. 5). When the visitor MSG to which “see” is added is received, the display control unit 33b displays a message board screen including the visitor MSG to which the participation button 68 is added (S62). On the other hand, when not invited to the call (NO in S51), the process of step S52 is omitted. Subsequently, when the operation unit 42b accepts a participation operation, that is, a touch operation on the participation button 68 (YES in S63), the execution unit 32b transmits a conversation participation notification to the message board server 1 (S64). The terminal 4b and the common calling machine 6 are connected so as to be able to talk. The display control unit 33b causes the display unit 43b to display the call screen generated by the execution unit 32b (S65). On the other hand, when the participation operation is not accepted (NO in S63), the processes in steps S64 and S65 are omitted.

  Next, in the portable terminal 4c, when the operation unit 42c accepts a participation request operation, that is, a touch operation to the participation button 69 (see FIG. 5C) (YES in S71), the execution unit 32c requests the participation. A notification is transmitted to the message board server 1 (S72). On the other hand, when the operation for requesting participation has not been received (NO in S71), the process in the portable terminal 4c ends.

  Subsequently, when the mobile terminal 4a requests participation (YES in S53), that is, when the participation request notification is transmitted to the message board server 1, the execution unit 32a generates the participation selection image 71 from the message board server 1 (see FIG. 5 (see (d)), the execution unit 32a generates a participation selection image 71 in response to the instruction and outputs it to the display control unit 33a. The display control unit 33a displays the acquired participation selection image 71 on the call screen (S54). On the other hand, when the participation request is not made (NO in S53), the process in the portable terminal 4a ends.

  Subsequently, when the mobile terminal 4a receives a permission operation, that is, a touch operation on the permission button 72 (see FIG. 5D) (YES in S55), the execution unit 32a transmits a permission notification to the message board server 1. (S56). On the other hand, when the permission operation has not been received (NO in S55), the process in the portable terminal 4a ends.

  Subsequently, when it is permitted in the portable terminal 4c (YES in S73), that is, when the permission notice is transmitted to the message board server 1, the portable terminal 4c and the shared caller 6 are connected so as to be able to talk, and the execution unit When 32c is instructed by the message board server 1 to generate a call screen, the execution unit 32c generates a call screen in response to the instruction and outputs it to the display control unit 33c. The display control unit 33c displays the acquired call screen on the display unit 43c (S74). On the other hand, if not permitted (NO in S73), the process in the portable terminal 4c ends.

[Embodiment 2]
The following will describe another embodiment of the present invention with reference to FIGS. For convenience of explanation, members having the same functions as those described in the embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof are omitted.

  In the present embodiment, each dwelling unit (see FIG. 2) of the apartment is provided with a router, and when the mobile terminal 4 is in the dwelling unit (inside the residence), the mobile terminal 4 automatically connects to the router and passes through the router. The information is transmitted to and received from the message board server 1 by Internet communication. In addition, although the router of this embodiment is demonstrated as a WiFi router, a router is not limited to a WiFi router.

  In addition, when the mobile terminal 4 receives the visitor notification, the mobile terminal 4 checks whether or not the own device is connected to the WiFi router. When connected, when the message board screen is displayed, the call start button 64 is displayed on the visitor MSG 62b regardless of the priority 92 stored in the storage unit 45. On the other hand, when not connected, when displaying the message board screen, the delay time corresponding to the priority 92 read from the storage unit 45 is further increased by 10 seconds.

  FIG. 12 is a screen transition diagram of the mobile terminals 4a to 4c of each user (mom, dad, and Taro-kun) in the present embodiment. Note that FIG. 12 shows only screen views necessary for explaining points different from FIGS. 4 to 7, and other screen views are omitted. FIG. 12 illustrates an example in which the father is in the dwelling unit and the mother and Taro are out. That is, since the portable terminal 4b is in the dwelling unit, it communicates with the message board server 1 via the WiFi router and the Internet. The portable terminal 4a and the portable terminal 4c are communicated via the communication network of the mobile phone (feature phone or smartphone) and the Internet. To communicate with the message board server 1.

  When receiving the visitor notification, the execution unit 32 generates a visitor notification image 61 and outputs it to the display control unit 33. The display control unit 33 causes the display unit 43 to display the acquired visitor notification image 61 as shown in FIGS. And the execution part 32 will confirm whether it is connected with a WiFi router, if the input information of the operation input which displays the message board screen on the display part 43 is received. Here, since the father's portable terminal 4b in the dwelling unit is connected to the WiFi router, the execution unit 32 displays the message board screen including the visitor MSG 62b on which the call start button 64 is displayed without referring to the priority 92. Generate and output to the display control unit 33. The display control unit 33 displays a visitor MSG 62b including a visitor's still image 63 and a call start button 64 on the display unit 43b as shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, since the mother's portable terminal 4a outside the dwelling unit is not connected to the WiFi router, the execution unit 32 sets the priority 92 read from the storage unit 45 to “0” (the time indicated by the priority is 0 seconds). Add 10 seconds and calculate the elapsed time from the time of receiving the visitor notification. Then, as shown in FIG. 12D, until the elapsed time reaches a time (10 seconds) obtained by adding 10 seconds to the time indicated by the priority 92, the visitor MSG 62a including the text indicating the remaining time is displayed. The data is output to the display control unit 33a and displayed on the display unit 43a. Similarly, in the portable terminal 4c, the execution unit 32 adds 10 seconds to “2” (the time indicated by the priority is 20 seconds), which is the priority 92 read from the storage unit 45, and from the reception time of the visitor notification. The elapsed time of is calculated. Then, as shown in FIG. 12F, until the elapsed time reaches a time (30 seconds) obtained by adding 10 seconds to the time indicated by the priority 92, the visitor MSG 62c including text indicating the remaining time is displayed. The data is output to the display control unit 33a and displayed on the display unit 43c. That is, the execution unit 32 further adds 10 seconds to the delay time indicated by the priority 92 when the mobile terminal 4 is outside the dwelling unit. The time to add is not limited to 10 seconds. Moreover, although the time to add was common in this embodiment, you may change the time to add for every portable terminal 4. FIG.

  (Flow of Visitor Response Processing) Next, the flow of visitor response processing will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the flow of visitor reception processing in the mobile terminal 4 of the present embodiment. In FIG. 13, the description of the same processing as that of the first embodiment is omitted. Specifically, the flowchart of message board server 1 and MC2, and steps S24 to S25 shown in FIG. 9 are omitted.

  First, the execution unit 32 of the mobile terminal 4 that has received the notification (visitor notification) notifies that the customer MSG has been posted (S81). Specifically, the execution unit 32 outputs the generated visitor notification image 61 to the display control unit 33 and causes the display unit 43 to display it. Subsequently, when the operation unit 42 receives a display operation of the message board screen (YES in S82), the execution unit 32 confirms whether or not the own device is connected to the WiFi router (S83). When connected (YES in S83), the execution unit 32 generates a message board screen displaying the call start button 64 on the visitor MSG without referring to the priority 92, and outputs the message board screen to the display control unit 33. The display control unit 33 displays the visitor MSG including the call start button 64 on the display unit 43 (S84). That is, the message board screen generated by the execution unit 32 is displayed.

  On the other hand, when not connected (NO in S83), the execution unit 32 reads the priority 92, and calculates a time (corrected delay time) obtained by adding 10 seconds to the time indicated by the priority 92 (S85). And the execution part 32 calculates the elapsed time after receiving a visitor notification (S86), and when the elapsed time does not exceed the correction delay time (NO in S86), the visitor displaying the text indicating the remaining time is displayed. A message board screen including the MSG 62 is generated and output to the display control unit 33. The display control unit 33 displays a visitor message including text indicating the remaining time on the display unit 43 (S87). That is, the message board screen generated by the execution unit 32 is displayed.

  On the other hand, when the elapsed time exceeds the corrected delay time (YES in S86), the display control unit 33 displays the visitor MSG including the call start button 64 on the display unit 43 (S84).

  (Modification of Embodiment 2) When the execution unit 32 according to Embodiment 2 is not connected to a WiFi router, the execution unit 32 generates a visitor MSG that displays a delay time based on the priority 92 instead of the modified delay time. Good. Further, the execution unit 32 according to the second embodiment may be configured not to generate the visitor notification image 61 when not connected to the WiFi router. That is, in this modification, only the mobile terminal 4 connected to the WiFi router (the mobile terminal 4 in the dwelling unit) can respond to the visitor.

[Embodiment 3]
The following will describe another embodiment of the present invention. For convenience of explanation, members having the same functions as those described in the embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and explanation thereof is omitted.

  This embodiment demonstrates the case where this invention is applied to a detached house. When the present invention is applied to a detached house, the common calling machine 6 is replaced with a calling machine (not shown) installed at the entrance. The caller and the indoor monitor 5 directly transmit and receive information. The indoor monitor 5 is communicably connected to a home server (not shown) that controls transmission / reception of information to / from the message board server 1. The home server has the MC2 function and the IP control device 3 function described in the first embodiment. Specifically, the indoor monitor 5 transmits voice data and moving image data received from the calling machine to the home server. Then, the home server captures the moving image data as still image data, and saves the still image data, a predetermined text indicating that a visitor has come, an image indicating an icon of “Interphone” or the message board server 1. A draft of the visitor MSG including the ID for identifying the image indicating the icon being displayed and the text indicating the time is generated and transmitted to the message board server 1. Further, the home server transmits the voice data received from the message board server 1 to the calling machine via the indoor monitor 5.

  (Modification of Embodiment 3) The message board system 100 according to Embodiment 3 described above does not include a home server, and is a configuration in which the caller and the room monitor 5 directly transmit and receive information, and the message board server 1 and the caller May be configured to transmit and receive information via the indoor monitor 5. In this case, the room monitor 5 generates the draft. Moreover, in this embodiment, you may apply the structure of Embodiment 2 mentioned above.

[Modification]
In the message board system 100 according to Embodiments 1 to 3 described above, the number of people who can respond to the visitor may always be one. In this example, when the user who responds first joins another user, the connection destination determination unit 24 responds first when the other user's portable terminal 4 and the shared caller 6 are connected so as to be able to talk. The call between the user's portable terminal 4 and the common calling machine 6 is disconnected. Moreover, when the customer MSG is posted, the call start button 64 may be displayed on the message board screen in the mobile terminals 4 of all the residents. In other words, when the visitor MSG is posted, all the residents may be able to respond to the visitors. Moreover, in the portable terminal 4, it may be possible to set in advance whether or not to perform notification using the visitor notification image 61 or the like. In this case, in the mobile terminal 4 set to perform notification, when the visitor MSG is posted, the display control unit 33 displays the visitor notification image 61 on the display unit 43, or the voice control unit 34 via the speaker 47. To output a predetermined sound. On the other hand, even if the visitor MSG is posted, the mobile terminal 4 set not to perform notification does not perform notification to the resident as described above. Moreover, you may produce | generate all the visitor MSG containing a draft with the message board server 1. FIG. In other words, the message board server 1 is notified only of a visitor from the MC 2. The text data and image data included in the write data to be posted at the time of the visitor are stored in the message board server 1 in advance, and the generation unit 21 generates write data using these data, and the message board management unit 14 Post on the family message board.

  Further, in the above-described first to third embodiments, a resident (hereinafter referred to as a mother) whose call start button 64 is displayed on the visitor MSG is connected to the portable terminal 4 of the other resident (hereinafter referred to as a father) and the common calling machine 6 ( When the mobile terminal 4 is connected to be communicable, the mother's mobile terminal 4 needs to be communicably connected to the common caller 6 (or the caller). However, the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, a switching button to an instruction screen for instructing a visitor MSG to respond to a visitor on another user's mobile terminal 4 is included, and by touching the switching button, another residence An instruction screen including a person's icon (user selection button) may be displayed on the display unit 43. Here, when the mother touches the father's icon on the instruction screen, the message board server 1 transmits the visitor MSG including the participation button 68 to the father's portable terminal 4b. Thereby, since the display control unit 33b displays the visitor MSG, if the father touches the participation button 68, even if the mother's portable terminal 4a and the common calling machine 6 are not connected so as to be able to talk, the father's portable terminal 4b can be connected to the common calling machine 6 so as to be able to talk. Further, a resident who does not display the call start button 64 on the visitor MSG (hereinafter, Taro-kun) displays the call start button 64 on the visitor MSG before the call start button 64 is displayed on the visitor MSG. The configuration may be such that a resident (hereinafter referred to as a mother) can make a participation request. Specifically, the above-mentioned switching button is included in the visitor MSG, and the message board server 1 touches the mother's mobile terminal 4a by touching the mother's icon after the transition to the instruction screen. A visitor MSG including a participation selection image is transmitted. Thereby, since the display control unit 33a displays the visitor MSG, if the mother touches the permission button 72, even if the mother's portable terminal 4a and the common calling machine 6 are not connected so as to be able to talk, Taro's mobile phone The terminal 4c can be connected to the common calling machine 6 so as to be able to talk. Moreover, the structure which not the correction part 22 of the message board server 1 but the execution part 32 of the portable terminal 4 corrects visitor MSG may be sufficient.
