Next, an example of the operation of the intercom system 1 will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 and the display screen shown in FIG. 5. In this operation example, a case will be described in which service information provided from the service server 90 is displayed on the main room unit 10 of the housing complex 2.

As shown in FIG. 3, content data associated with services that can be provided by each service provider is first uploaded to the service server 90 (step S10). Next, the service server 90 transmits the uploaded content data associated with the service to the platform server 80 via the Internet N (step S11). For example, the content data associated with a service is data associated with a taxi company's dispatch, data associated with an electric power company's energy usage status, data associated with a condominium facility reservation by a condominium management company, and the like.

The server control unit 85 of the platform server 80 receives content data associated with a service transmitted from each service server 90 at the receiving unit 82, associates the received content data with each service server 90, and stores it in the holding unit 81. It is held (step S12). Next, the server control unit 85 controls the conversion unit 83 to display the received content data on the room main unit 10 based on a template for, for example, a “service list” held in the holding unit 81 in advance. The data is converted into service list display data (an example of content display data) that can be displayed on the unit 11 (step S13). Next, the server controller 85 transmits the converted service list display data from the transmitter 84 to the ridge controller 40 of the housing complex 2 via the Internet N (step S14).

The control unit CPU 41 of the building control unit 40 stores the service list display data transmitted from the platform server 80 in the distribution server 42 (step S15). Next, the control unit CPU 41 transmits the service list display data stored in the distribution server 42 to each room base unit 10 via the intercom line L1 (step S16).

The master unit CPU 13 of each room master unit 10 displays the service list display data transmitted from the building control unit 40 on the display unit 11 as a service list screen (step S17). Specifically, the display unit 11 displays, for example, a "service list" screen as shown in FIG. 5(a).

Next, on the "Service List" screen (see FIG. 5(a)) displayed on the display unit 11 of the main unit 10, the "Taxi Dispatch" button 11a for checking taxi information is displayed, for example, at the residence A. Assume that the button is pressed by a resident of room 101 in building 3 (step S18). Based on the pressing of the "Taxi Dispatch" button 11a, the master unit 10 in room 101 transmits an instruction signal requesting taxi information to the building control unit 40 via the intercom line L1 (step S19).

The control unit CPU 41 of the ridge control unit 40 stores the instruction signal transmitted from the master unit 10 of room 101 in the distribution server 42 (step S20). Next, the control unit CPU 41 transmits an instruction signal to the platform server 80 via the Internet N (step S21).

When the receiving unit 82 receives the instruction signal transmitted from the building control unit 40 of the residence A building 3, the server control unit 85 of the platform server 80 generates taxi information display data corresponding to the instruction signal requesting the taxi information. (an example of content display data) is read from the holding unit 81 (step S22). Next, the server control unit 85 transmits the read taxi information display data from the transmission unit 84 to the building control unit 40 of the residence A building 3 via the Internet N (step S23).

The control unit CPU 41 of the building control unit 40 stores the taxi information display data transmitted from the platform server 80 in the distribution server 42 (step S24). Next, the control unit CPU41 transmits the taxi information display data to the main unit 10 in room 101 via the intercom line L1 (step S25).

The master unit CPU 13 of the room master unit 10 in room 101 displays the taxi information display data transmitted from the building control unit 40 on the display unit 11 (step S26). Specifically, the display unit 11 displays, for example, a "taxi information" screen as shown in FIG. 5(b).

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, on the "Taxi information" screen (see FIG. 5(b)) displayed on the display unit 11 of the main unit 10 in room 101, the "Taxi information" screen for requesting a taxi is displayed. It is assumed that the "Call a taxi" button 11b is pressed (step S27). Based on the pressing of the "call a taxi" button 11b, the main unit 10 in room 101 transmits an instruction signal requesting dispatch of a taxi to the building control unit 40 via the intercom line L1 (step S28).

The control unit CPU 41 of the ridge control unit 40 stores the instruction signal transmitted from the master unit 10 of room 101 in the distribution server 42 (step S29). Next, the control unit CPU 41 transmits an instruction signal to the platform server 80 via the Internet N (step S30). The instruction signal includes, for example, the name of the resident of room 101, the telephone number, etc., as information about the user who requested the taxi dispatch.

When the server control unit 85 of the platform server 80 receives the instruction signal transmitted from the building control unit 40 at the reception unit 82, it transmits the instruction signal from the transmission unit 84 to the service server 90 of the taxi company through the Internet N. (Step S31).

In response to the instruction signal sent from the platform server 80, the service server 90 of the taxi company transmits a response signal including the scheduled arrival time of the dispatched vehicle, the name of the taxi company, the dispatched number, etc. to the platform server 80 via the Internet N. (Step S32).

The server control unit 85 of the platform server 80 receives the response signal transmitted from the taxi company's service server 90 at the receiving unit 82, associates the response signal with the taxi company's service server 90, and stores it in the holding unit 81. (Step S33). Next, the server control unit 85 controls the conversion unit 83 to convert the response signal (estimated arrival time of the dispatched vehicle, taxi company name, dispatched number, etc.) into the response signal for “dispatch response” held in the holding unit 81 in advance. Based on the template, the data is changed to dispatch response display data (an example of content display data) in a form that can be displayed on the display unit 11 of the master unit 10 in the room (step S34). The server control unit 85 transmits the dispatch response display data changed by the conversion unit 83 from the transmission unit 84 to the building control unit 40 of the residence A building 3 via the Internet N (step S35).

The control unit CPU 41 of the building control unit 40 stores the dispatch response display data transmitted from the platform server 80 in the distribution server 42 (step S36). Next, the control unit CPU41 transmits the dispatch response display data to the main unit 10 in room 101 through the intercom line L1 (step S37).

The master unit CPU 13 of the master unit 10 in the room No. 101 displays the dispatch response display data transmitted from the building control unit 40 on the display unit 11 (step S38). Specifically, the display unit 11 displays, for example, a "vehicle dispatch response" screen as shown in FIG. 5(c).

In this example, the operation in which service information is displayed on the master device 10 in the room has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, service information can be similarly displayed on the collective entrance machine 20, the management room master machine 30, the management entrance machine 50, and the management room master machine 60.

By the way, when providing taxi dispatch services, services that visualize energy usage status, reservation services for condominium facilities, etc. to residents of apartment complexes via the Internet, conventionally, each service provider has It was necessary to create a content page in a format that was compatible with the display section of the parent device, which was a complicated process.

In contrast, in the intercom system 1 having the above configuration, the platform server 80 converts the content data transmitted from the service server 90 into content display data in an appropriate format, and transfers the content display data to the parent in the room. It is transmitting to machine 10. Therefore, there is no need for each service provider, which is a service provider of each content data, to develop content display data suitable for each room base unit 10. Further, for example, even if the data communication method is changed or updated from the service server 90, the platform server 80 can respond to the change in the communication method. Therefore, there is no need to change the communication method in each room base unit 10 that performs data communication with the service server 90. Therefore, according to the intercom system 1, various content display data can be easily displayed on the room base unit 10. Moreover, according to the platform server 80, it is possible to provide a platform that can easily display various content display data on the room base unit 10.

In the intercom system 1 according to the present embodiment, for example, when there is a service request (instruction signal) based on a user input from the room base unit 10, the platform server 80 receives a response signal from the service server 90 using a predetermined template. Based on this, the content display data is changed to a format that can be displayed on the master unit 10 in the room. Therefore, the service server 90 only needs to send a response signal to the platform server 80, and there is no need to provide changed content display data. Therefore, according to the intercom system 1, switching of content pages using content display data can be performed without placing a burden on the service provider.

Furthermore, the intercom system 1 according to the present embodiment employs a method in which the room base unit 10 is connected to the Internet N via the building control unit 40. Therefore, the present intercom system 1 can be introduced even in an apartment complex that has not introduced an Internet connection service for all units that provides internet connection services to all residences in the apartment complex.

(Modified example)
FIG. 6 is a configuration diagram showing a modification of the intercom system 1 described above. As shown in FIG. 6, in the intercom system 1A according to the modification, each room base unit 10 is distributed by, for example, a hub (HUB) 100 and is directly connected to the Internet N. This is different from the intercom system 1 which is (indirectly) connected to the Internet N via the building control unit 40 connected through the intercom line L1. Therefore, unlike communication through the building control unit 40 in the intercom system 1, communication between each room base unit 10 and the platform server 80 is performed without going through the building control unit 40. This is done directly with the platform server 80.

For example, when there is a service request based on a user input from the main unit 10 in the room (for example, pressing the taxi dispatch button 11a), the intercom system 1A outputs an instruction signal (a signal requesting taxi information) from the main unit 10 in the room. ) directly to the platform server 80 via the Internet N. Furthermore, the platform server 80 that has received the instruction signal directly transmits content display data (taxi information display data) corresponding to the instruction signal to the main unit 10 through the Internet N. Similarly, when the button 11b to call a taxi is pressed from the main unit 10 in the room, the intercom system 1A sends an instruction signal output from the main unit 10 to the platform server via the Internet N. Send directly to 80. In addition, if a response signal (a signal including the scheduled arrival time of the dispatched vehicle, the name of the taxi company, the dispatched number, etc.) is output from the service server 90 in response to the above-mentioned instruction signal outputted from the main unit 10, the platform server 80 , directly transmits content display data (vehicle dispatch response display data) modified based on a predetermined template (vehicle dispatch response display data) to the room base unit 10 via the Internet N.

In the intercom system 1A according to the modified example configured in this way, an IP address that can identify each room base unit 10 on the Internet N is stored in the storage unit (not shown) of the base unit CPU 13 of each room base unit 10. ) is stored in

In addition, in the intercom system 1A of FIG. 6, only the room base unit 10 is directly connected to the Internet N, but the invention is not limited to this.
