Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a housing complex information system used in housing complexes such as apartments, dormitories, and condominiums.

[Background of the Invention] Recently, in housing complexes such as condominiums, efforts have been made to provide a safe, comfortable, and convenient living environment for each unit and resident, as well as to perform rational and appropriate maintenance and management of the housing complex. Various apartment complex information systems have been adopted.

In such an information system, for example, a manager main unit is installed as a terminal in a manager's room or a monitoring center, and a collective clothing file is installed.
A collective entrance unit, etc. will be installed at the common entrance (common entrance), and an in-unit master unit (home controller, house controller, or housing information panel) will be installed in each dwelling unit, and each of these terminals and the main control unit will be installed in two units. This device is connected by telephone communication lines, broadcast lines, transmission lines, etc., and the operation of each terminal is controlled by the main controller, and allows calls to be made between each unit's main unit and the collective entrance unit or the manager's main unit. intercom function, a function that unlocks or opens the door of the collective entrance via the collective entrance unit based on commands from the residential unit, and a temperature sensor and smoke sensor installed in each dwelling unit and connected to this unit. A security function that generates an alarm in response to signals from sensors such as fire sensors, gas leak sensors, emergency buttons, and security switches, and broadcasts from the collective entrance unit or the manager's master unit to 12 units in the desired residence. It has various functions such as functions.

By the way, when such a housing complex information system is installed in a large-scale housing complex, for example, a large-scale condominium with 200 to 300 units, since such housing has multiple collective entrances, it is necessary to install a collective entrance machine for the system installed at the collective entrance. Multiple locations will also be installed. Even in the conventional system, it is possible to equip multiple entrance gates. However, when a conventional system is equipped with multiple entrances, there is only one communication line, so if you make a call or make a call from one entrance, this communication line will be busy, and during that time,
You will not be able to make calls or make calls from other entrances. Therefore, there is a drawback that waiting time is increased due to the other entrance being busy.

[Object of the Invention] In view of the problems in the conventional type described above, the present invention provides an apartment system having a plurality of collective entrance units, with the internal configuration of each device constituting the system being as similar to the conventional type as possible, Minimize the situation where one collective entrance machine is called or busy and other collective entrance machines become unavailable and cannot be used without a long waiting time, and any collective entrance machine is called after a short waiting time. The purpose is to provide an apartment complex information system that allows communication and telephone calls.

[Summary of the Invention] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a main control device that controls the entire system, a main unit installed in each dwelling unit, a collective entrance unit installed at each collective entrance, and a management center (
There is a transmission line and two or more call lines between the residential unit base unit, the collective entrance unit, and the manager base unit, and the residential unit base unit is one. In an apartment complex information system having an audio circuit for a telephone line, 1
Alternatively, a repeater for selecting a call line is provided for each unit in a plurality of dwelling units, and switching of the call line by the repeater is controlled by a transmission signal via the above-mentioned transmission line or a separately provided transmission line.

[Explanation of Examples] Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail using the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows apartment housing information 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The block configuration of the information system is shown below. In the figure, 1 is a main control device, which controls the entire system. A pair of communication (voice) lines 2 and a transmission line 3 including a ground line are connected to the main control device 1. In addition, the main control bag @1 and the main unit 6 in each residence (6-1, 6-2,...)
The communication line 2 that connects these two lines consists of two lines, 2a and 2b. 4 is the administrator main unit installed in the management center, etc., 5A
and 5B are collective entrance machines installed at different collective entrances.

The transmission line 3 on the side of the manager base unit 4 and the six collective entrances 5A, 5B is connected to the repeater 11 and the transmission line 3 on the side of the dwelling unit 1e16 inside the main control device 1. Further, the call line 2a on the side of the manager base unit 4 and the collective entrance unit 5A is connected to the call line 2a on the side of the repeater 11 inside the main control device 1, and the call line 2b on the side of the collective entrance unit 5B is relayed. It is connected to the communication line 2b on the device 11 side. The in-house base unit 6 installed in each dwelling unit connects the repeater 11 to the telephone lines 2a, 2b and transmission line 3 connected to the main control bag "t11".
Connected in a multi-drop manner via . Repeater 11
is the relay (relay) RYA that switches the telephone line 2.

RYB, RYc, and RYo, a transmission I/F (interface) 12 connected to the transmission line, a CPU (central processing unit) 13, and a device address setting device 14 for the repeater 11.
, relays RYA-RYC).

The internal configurations of the manager base unit 4, the collective entrance unit 5, and the residential unit base unit 6 are the same as those of the conventional system. For example, the in-home base unit 6 has an audio circuit for one telephone call line, as in the past. Moreover, the main control device 1 has the same internal configuration as the conventional one, except that the number of line terminals and the parts for internally connecting these lines have been increased.

Next, the operation of calling and talking in the housing complex information system having the configuration shown in FIG. 1 will be explained. First, collective entrance 115
Assume that in A, the visitor specifies the dwelling unit 1, that is, the main unit 6-1, as the dwelling unit to call, and presses the call button.

The collective entrance machine 5A sends information indicating this to the transmission line 3, and the main control device 1 receives the signal. The main control device 1 analyzes the received data and sends a signal to the repeater 11 indicating that relay RYA is to be turned on in order to connect the telephone line 2a to which the collective entrance device 5A is connected to the in-house main device 6-1. send. The repeater 11 receives the signal via the transmission I/F, and the control 1/F 15 turns on the relay RYA according to a command from the CPU 13. Thereby, the telephone line 2a is connected to the telephone line of the in-house base unit 6-1. After that, the main control bag @1 connects to the residential main unit 6- through the transmission line 3.
Send a call signal to 1. When the in-house base unit 6-1 hooks up, a call can be made between the collective entrance unit 5A and the in-house base unit 6-1.

Assume that while a call is being made on the collective entrance unit 5A, a call is made from the collective entrance unit 5B, specifying the in-house base unit 6-2. At this time, the main controller 1 controls the collective entrance machine 5.
In order to connect the telephone line 2b to which B is connected to the in-home base unit 6-2, the relay RYo in the repeater 11 is turned on. The procedure in this case is the same as the procedure for calling and talking in the collective entrance machine 5A described above. By turning on the relay RYo, the collective clothes 111J15B and the 11 units in the dwelling unit 6-2 are able to monopolize the telephone line 2b and make a telephone call. In this case, the telephone line 2a is connected to the previous telephone call, but since the telephone line connected to the collective entrance 115B is not 2a but 2b, the telephone call can be made regardless of the previous telephone call.

When the call ends, main control device 1 sends off signals for relays RYA and RYo to repeater 11, respectively. As a result, the connection between the telephone line 2 and the in-house base unit 6 is turned off.

In the above embodiment, the number of installed collective entrance machines and the number of telephone lines are the same, and these are connected in a one-to-one correspondence, so there is no need to perform switching processing for the telephone lines of the collective entrance machines. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the communication lines may be randomly switched and connected to the manager's main unit and the collective entrance unit.

For example, by setting up a relay in the main control device, you can connect the call line from each collective entrance unit or the manager's main unit to one of the multiple call lines on the repeater side, or connect it to the main control unit and manage it. It is also possible to provide a repeater between the main unit and the collective entrance unit, and to switch the communication lines using this repeater.

In other words, the correspondence between these call lines and the in-unit 11g1, the manager's main unit, and the collective entrance unit can be adjusted as appropriate, and the number of collective entrances and dwelling units and their correspondence, the number of call lines, and each collective entrance It may be determined optimally by considering the number of visitors, etc.

In addition, in the above embodiment, one of the plurality of call lines is selected as the call line connected to the in-house base unit, but as mentioned above, the collective entrance unit and the manager's base unit are also connected. In the case of switching the telephone line, without limitation,
One call line may be selected from a group of call lines. For example, the first and second call lines are connected to the first home base unit, the second and third call lines are connected to the second home base unit, etc., the nth and first call lines It is also possible to use a repeater to select one of a plurality of communication lines corresponding to each in-house base unit, such as to correspond to the n-th in-house ms, respectively.

At the actual IIM @ above, I am middle school! The transmission line of the device 11 is the same as the transmission line connected to the in-house base unit. Additionally, the correspondence between the repeater and the in-house base unit connected to it has also been determined. Therefore, if the repeater also captures the calling signal sent from the main control device to the in-home base unit, analyzes the captured data, and turns on the relay as appropriate, there is no need to assign a device address to the repeater. However, in this case, the CPU in the repeater needs to have a function capable of determining which relays to turn on and off based on the above-mentioned captured data.

On the other hand, if a device address is given to the repeater and it is handled as an independent terminal, the transmission line of the repeater and the transmission line of the in-house base unit may be separate lines.

In addition, in this embodiment, control data is exchanged between the main controller 1, the manager's main unit 4, and the collective entrance units 5A and 5B via the transmission line 3. By providing a line 7 and transmitting control data through this line, more detailed control can be performed. □ FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the connection relationship when a transmission line for repeaters is provided separately. Note that parts common or corresponding to those in FIG. 1 are indicated by the same reference numerals. In the figure, a transmission line 3a is a line for transmitting and receiving transmission signals to and from all the repeaters in the system, including the repeater 11. on the other hand,
The transmission line 3b is a line for exchanging transmission signals with the in-house base unit. If a repeater is installed, the number of addresses that can be assigned to residential base units, that is, the number of residential base units that can be installed, will be reduced by the device address assigned to this repeater, but by dividing the transmission line in this way, More device addresses can be taken, which more than makes up for this decrease.

In these embodiments, in an apartment building having multiple entrances, it is possible to eliminate the waiting time when other entrances are busy. Furthermore, even an in-home base unit that has only an audio circuit for one call line can be used for multiple call lines. In other words, the conventional in-home base unit can be used as is.

Further, the in-house base unit can receive and talk to a call signal from the collective entrance unit or the manager's base unit via the transmission line, and can also send and display alarm data to the manager's base unit.

In addition, in these embodiments, the main controller, the manager's main unit, and the collective entrance unit are each independent devices, but the main controller is not limited to this, and the main controller is the manager's main unit, and the collective entrance unit. The present invention is applicable even when the device is included in a machine.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, in a housing complex system having a plurality of collective entrance machines and a manager main unit, transmission signals sent from a plurality of telephone lines and a main control device can be Since the system is equipped with a repeater that connects one of these call lines to the main unit in the residence, a certain collective entrance unit can receive calls and calls without changing the internal configuration of each device that makes up the system. There are fewer situations where other collective entrance machines are unavailable due to busy calls and cannot be used without a long waiting time, and any collective entrance machine can be used for calling and talking after a short waiting time.
