The terminal 81 and the server 82 are managed, for example, by the manufacturer of the doorbell system. The terminal 81 and the server 82 may be located at the factory of the doorbell system manufacturer. Further, the server 82 may be located outside the doorbell system manufacturer's factory. The terminal 81 may be, for example, a personal computer.

The seller (ticket purchaser) of the apartment complex 1 uses the terminal 18 to place an order for a registered ticket from the manufacturer of the doorbell system (S1). When ordering a registered ticket, the ticket purchaser notifies the manufacturer of the door intercom system of the serial number of the server 11 and the number of mobile terminals (registration number) that he or she wishes to register in the intercom system. The ticket purchaser notifies the manufacturer of the door intercom system of the number of mobile terminals to be registered in the door intercom system, taking into consideration the number of units in the housing complex 1 and the number of people living in each unit, for example.

A ticket issuing person in charge of issuing registered tickets of the door intercom system maker receives the order for registered tickets via the terminal 81. Upon receiving the order for the registered ticket, the ticket issuing person issues an access key (S2). An access key is a unique key and may be, for example, a combination of numbers, letters, and symbols. A program for issuing access keys may be installed in the terminal 81.

After issuing the access key, the ticket issuing person registers the serial number of the server 11 received from the ticket purchaser and the number of registered mobile terminals in the terminal 81 in association with the issued access key (S3).

Note that hereinafter, the issued access key, the serial number of the server 11 and the number of registered mobile terminals linked to this access key may be referred to as terminal permission information. The program that issues the access key for the terminal 81 may manage the terminal permission information.

After registering the terminal permission information in S3, the terminal 81 transmits the registered terminal permission information to the server 82 (S4). When the server 82 receives the terminal permission information in S4, it adds the received terminal permission information to the terminal permission information file stored in the storage unit of the server 82.

After registering the terminal permission information in S3, the ticket issuing person sends (sells) the registered ticket containing the access key to the ticket purchaser (S5). For example, upon confirming the payment from the ticket purchaser, the ticket issuer sends the registered ticket to the ticket purchaser. Note that the registration ticket may be transmitted to the terminal 18 in electronic data.

The ticket purchaser logs into the server 11 using the terminal 18 and inputs the access key written in the registered ticket received in S5 into the terminal 18 (S6). The terminal 18 transmits the input access key to the server 11.

When the server 11 receives the access key from the terminal 18, it accesses the server 82 and acquires (receives) the terminal permission information file (S7). The server 11 refers to the acquired terminal permission information file and acquires the number of registered devices corresponding to both the serial number of the server 11 and the access key received from the terminal 18. The server 11 permits registration of mobile terminals to the door intercom system for the number of registered mobile terminals obtained.

On the other hand, the server 11 refers to the terminal permission information file, and if the serial number of the server 11 is not included in the terminal permission information file or the access key received from the terminal 18 is not included, the mobile terminal The number of registered units is not obtained. That is, the server 11 does not permit registration of the mobile terminal with the doorbell system.

Through the above procedure, it is possible to register as many mobile terminals as the number of registered mobile terminals in the door intercom system.

Note that in the above, the ticket purchaser is the seller of the housing complex 1, but the ticket purchaser is not limited to this. The ticket purchaser may be the management association of the housing complex 1 or the construction company that constructed the housing complex 1.

Furthermore, in the above description, the ticket seller is the manufacturer of the doorbell system, but the ticket seller is not limited to this. The ticket seller may be an installer or distributor of the doorbell system.

Further, the terminal 81 may be referred to as a management terminal. Server 82 may be referred to as a management server.

Further, although the ticket purchaser orders a registered ticket using the terminal 18 (S1), the present invention is not limited thereto. A ticket purchaser may use a terminal other than terminal 18 to order a registered ticket. For example, a ticket purchaser may order a registered ticket using a terminal located within the company of the sales agent of the housing complex 1. The ticket purchaser may then input the access key of the registered ticket purchased using a terminal other than the terminal 18 into the terminal 18.

Furthermore, the terminal that accepts orders for registered tickets may not be the terminal 81. Further, the terminal 81 does not have to issue the access key and send the access key to the server 82.

FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of registration permission processing of a mobile terminal. The terminal 18 receives an ordering operation for a registered ticket from a ticket purchaser. The registration ticket ordering operation includes inputting the serial number of the server 11 and inputting the number of registered mobile terminals to be registered in the door intercom system. The terminal 18 transmits the serial number of the server 11 and the registered number of mobile terminals to be registered in the intercom system to the terminal 81 in response to the registration ticket ordering operation (S11).

The door intercom system maker's terminal 81 receives the order for the registration ticket. The terminal 81 receives an access key issuing operation from the ticket issuing person of the door intercom system maker, and issues the access key (S12).

When the terminal 81 issues the access key in S12, it registers terminal permission information including the serial number of the server 11 received from the ticket purchaser and the number of registered mobile terminals in association with the issued access key ( S13).

Note that, for example, upon confirming the payment from the ticket purchaser, the ticket issuing person sends the registered ticket containing the access key issued by the terminal 81 to the ticket purchaser.

The terminal 81 transmits the terminal permission information registered in S13 to the server 82 in response to the operation of the ticket issuing person (S14).

The server 82 adds the terminal permission information transmitted in S14 to the terminal permission information file stored in the storage unit of the server 82 (S15).

The terminal 18 receives the input of the access key written on the registered ticket from the ticket purchaser who has received the registered ticket, and transmits the received access key to the server 11 (S17).

When the server 11 receives the access key transmitted in S17, it accesses the server 82 and acquires the terminal permission information file (S19).

The server 11 refers to (confirms) the terminal permission information file acquired in S19 based on the access key transmitted in S17 and the serial number of the server 11 stored in the storage unit 22 (S20). .

If the received terminal permission information file includes the serial number of the server 11 and the access key sent in S17, the server 11 stores the serial number of the server 11 and the access key sent in S17. The number of registered devices corresponding to is acquired (S21).

On the other hand, if the received terminal permission information file does not include the serial number of the server 11 or the access key sent in S17, the server 11 notifies the terminal 18 of an error. (S22). For example, the server 11 notifies the terminal 18 that the access key or the serial number of the server 11 is incorrect.

Through the above processing, it is possible to register as many mobile terminals as the number of registered mobile terminals in the door intercom system.
