For example, the camera 9 can also read a person image. The person image is, for example, a photograph or the like. When the camera 9 reads a person image such as a photograph, the person image data is transmitted to the image processing unit 15. The image processing unit 15 analyzes a person image and extracts, for example, physical characteristics of the person. The person image and data related to the physical characteristics of the person are transmitted to the server 3 via the communication IF 8 and the network 5. The server 3 records the received data.

The user transmits information on whether the person who is permitted to call or who does not respond to the call (information regarding the callability condition) to the server 3 via the mobile communication terminal 4 with respect to the person image read by the camera 9. can. The server 3 records the received information regarding the callability condition.

According to the above configuration, the user can store the face of a specific person such as the user himself or a friend of the user in the server 3 at the time of initial setting of the doorbell 2. As a result, the other party who can answer the call can be smoothly passed indoors. On the contrary, since the user is not called to the person who does not want to go indoors such as a suspicious person, the user is not called every time a visitor comes.
As described above, according to the above configuration, it is possible to provide a method for setting the doorbell 2 without calling the user unnecessarily.

<Modification example of initial setting>
An example of a configuration and a setting method when the doorbell 2 is newly set in the doorbell system 1 will be described.

The doorbell system 1 of FIG. 1 may have two wireless networks. The first wireless network can originate from router 20. The second wireless network can originate from a terminal 4 (eg, a mobile phone). The first wireless network can enable indirect wireless communication between the doorbell 2 and the terminal 4 via the router 20 or the server 3. The second wireless network can enable direct wireless communication between the doorbell 2 and the terminal 4. The terminal 4 can transmit the password and the name of the first wireless network to the doorbell 2 via the second wireless network. The second wireless network does not have to require a password.
The doorbell 2 creates its own wireless network (eg, Wi-Fi network) with a recognizable network name (eg, service set identifier). When the application of the terminal 4 detects a new wireless network having a recognizable network name, the user can input an instruction regarding the initial setting via the terminal 4. The instruction regarding this initial setting is to temporarily connect the terminal 4 to the wireless network of the doorbell 2. The user can select the name and password of the target wireless network (first wireless network) from the terminal 4 and transmit the name and password to the doorbell 2. The doorbell 2 can connect to the first wireless network (for example, the wireless network of the building where the security system is installed) and disconnect its own wireless network (second wireless network).

When the user inputs the name and password of the first wireless network into the terminal 4, the name and password of the first wireless network are transmitted to the doorbell 2. The terminal 4 recognizes the name of the doorbell 2 network (second wireless network), automatically connects to the doorbell 2 network, and transmits the name and password of the first wireless network to the doorbell 2. You can do it.

The terminal 4 can display the name and password of the first wireless network, or an image for transmitting these (for example, a high-speed response code). The terminal 4 can generate a pulse of light and display an image relating to the name or password of the first wireless network, for example by blinking a black and white image on a touch screen. The doorbell 2 scans and decodes the image (for example, a high-speed response code) by the camera 9 and the image processing unit 15, and identifies the name and password of the first wireless network. The doorbell 2 can connect to the first wireless network using the name and password of the identified first wireless network. It should be noted that only the password of the first wireless network may be transmitted to the doorbell 2. The doorbell 2 may identify the connectable wireless network by testing each detected wireless network using the password obtained from the terminal 4.

Further, the terminal 4 may generate and sound an audio signal corresponding to the name and / or password of the first wireless network. In this case, the doorbell 2 can receive the name and / or password of the first wireless network by analyzing and decoding the voice signal reported from the terminal 4 by the microphone 12 and the voice recognition unit 17.
The terminal 4 may also transmit the name and / or password of the first wireless network to the doorbell 2 via Morse code (eg, using optical pulses). Further, the doorbell 2 may be paired with the terminal 4 via Bluetooth®. That is, the terminal 4 can transmit the name and / or password of the first wireless network to the doorbell 2 via Bluetooth®.
Further, the terminal 4 may emit infrared rays to transmit the name and / or password of the first wireless network to the doorbell 2. Infrared communication can be transmitted to the doorbell 2 using the light emitting unit of the terminal 4.

Next, the initial setting method of the doorbell 2 will be described. As an initial setting of the doorbell 2, the user of the doorbell 2 needs to execute the setup mode in order to connect the doorbell 2 and the terminal 4 via the first wireless network. This set-up mode includes, for example, a network connection mode.

For example, the doorbell 2 enters the network connection mode based on the user of the doorbell 2 pressing and holding the call button for a predetermined number of seconds. In the network connection mode, the control unit 7 reads the identification information (doorbell identification code associated with the doorbell 2) for identifying the doorbell 2 from the memory or the like of the control unit 7.
Next, the control unit 7 detects the first wireless network for transmitting the identification information to the terminal 4. The control unit 7 can detect the first wireless network by searching for a wireless network within a predetermined distance from the doorbell 2, for example.
Next, the control unit 7 transmits a doorbell identification code to the terminal 4 associated with the first wireless network via the detected first wireless network. The doorbell identification code is for confirming whether or not the doorbell 2 and the terminal 4 are permitted to communicate with each other.
Next, the terminal 4 transmits a password for permitting communication on the first wireless network to the doorbell 2 via the second wireless network based on the received doorbell identification code. The password may be transmitted directly from the terminal 4 to the doorbell 2 through the second wireless network, or indirectly to the doorbell via another electronic device such as a server.
Next, the doorbell 2 connects to the specified first wireless network using the password received from the terminal 4.
