An audio recording and reproducing apparatus 80 and a microcomputer 41 and a tuner 42 which perform a control operation to display data transmitted through the command board 30 on a TV receiver. It consists of a commercial TV (40) including a.

Referring to the operation and effect of the present invention configured as described in detail as follows.

The command board 30 is connected to the commercial TV 40 in the cabin. The command board 30 may be embedded in the TV set or connected to the outside in some cases.

In this state, when a visitor visits to meet the customer staying in the hotel, the staff of the hotel enters the room number through the control device 10 at the front desk. step)

Then, the control device 10 determines the room data corresponding to the room number and the channel data for carrying the image of the visitor to transmit to the hub 20 (step S12).

Accordingly, the hub 20 selects a room based on the room data and transmits channel data to the command board 30 of the selected room.

The command board 30 receiving the channel data transmits the channel data to the microcomputer 41 of the commercial TV 40 according to a predetermined protocol (step S14).

At this time, the CCTV camera 10 captures an image of the visitor at the front desk and transmits the image to the channel converter 70. The channel converter 70 converts the image into image data and then identifies the image with a broadcast signal input from the outside. It is loaded on the channel and transmitted to the command board 30. Accordingly, the command board 30 transmits the broadcast signals to the microcomputer 41 of the commercial TV 40.

The microcomputer 41 of the commercial TV 40 first detects the power state of the TV when receiving the channel data from the command board 30 (step S15).

As a result of the detection, when the power of the TV is in an OFF state, the power of the TV is turned on (step S16), and the channel corresponding to the channel data received from the command board 30 is switched (step S17).

When the channel is switched to the corresponding channel, the microcomputer 41 displays an image of the visitor received from the command board 30 so that the customer can confirm the visitor's identity. When displaying the visitor's image in this way, the microcomputer 41 displays an OSD (On Screen Display) and requests the customer's intention as a key input to accept or reject the visitor's visit (step S18).

Thereafter, when there is a key input by the customer, the microcomputer 41 generates pass data, and if there is no key input for a predetermined time, it is regarded as out of office and sets the pass data as absent and Turn off the power (step S19).

After the TV is powered off, the microcomputer 41 transmits the pass data to the command board 30 (step S20).

If the power of the TV is turned on in step S15, the control unit immediately switches to the channel corresponding to the channel data (step S21), and displays an image of the visitor so that the visitor's identity can be checked and an OSD (On Screen Display) is displayed. A request for the customer's intention to accept or reject the visitor's visit as a key input (step S22).

Subsequently, if there is a key input by the customer, the microcomputer 41 generates the pass data, and if there is no key input for a predetermined time, the microcomputer 41 considers the absence and sets the pass data to the absence and then the customer. Switch to the channel you were watching before (step S23).

After switching to the previous viewing channel of the TV, the microcomputer 41 transmits PASS DATA to the command board 30 (step S20).

The command board 30 having received the pass data transmits the data back to the hub 20.

The hub 20 receives the command board 30 of the cabin and transmits the path data to the control device 10 together with the cabin data.

Then, the control device 10 receives the room data and the pass data and displays both data.

One is that when the pass data is entered, the pass data is read to confirm or reject the visitor and return.

The other is to notify the visitor of the absence of the customer when the customer does not enter the pass data, and to record and record the video and audio when the visitor wants to leave a message. That is, if the visitor wants to leave a message, the message is recorded in the video and audio recording and reproducing apparatus 80 through the CCTV 50 and the microphone 60 (step S26).

When the message is left in the video and audio recording and reproducing apparatus 80, the control apparatus 10 transmits the room data to send the message and the channel data corresponding to the channel to which the video and audio are to be sent to the hub 20. (Step S27)

Then, the hub 20 selects a corresponding room based on the received room data, and transmits channel data to the command board 30 of the selected room. (Step S28) The command board 30 returns to the room. The channel data is transmitted to the microcomputer 41 of the commercial TV 40 (step S29).

After receiving the channel data, the microcomputer 41 of the commercial TV 40 checks whether the TV is in an off state or an on state. (Step S30) If the TV is in the off state, the power of the TV is determined. After turning on, it informs the visitor that there is a visitor message through the OSD (step S31), and waits for the message as a key input for confirmation (step S32).

After waiting for key input, if there is no key input for a certain period of time, it is determined that the user is absent, the TV is turned off, and after a predetermined time, the TV is again checked for power. Repeat the previous action.

In addition, if the TV is turned on, the OSD immediately shows a message indicating that there is a visitor message, and waits for a confirmation key input when confirming the message (step S33). It waits for input.

When the TV is turned off, the microcomputer 41 switches to the channel for checking the message after the power is turned on, and when there is a confirmation key input when the power is turned on (step S34). After switching to the message checking channel as described above, the microcomputer 41 transmits the playback start data to the command board 30 (step S35). When the playback start data is received, the command board 30 returns to the hub 20. The play data is transmitted (step S36).

The hub 20 receiving the play data transmits room data and play data to the control device 10 (step S37).

Accordingly, the control device 10 receives room data and play data (step S38), and issues a playback command to the video and audio recording and reproducing apparatus 80 (step S39). Therefore, the video and audio recording and reproducing apparatus 80 reproduces and provides the video signal and the audio signal to the channel converter 70, and sends a reproduction completion signal to the control device 10 when the reproduction is completed (S40). The channel converter 70 is loaded on a reproduction-only channel and transmitted to the microcomputer 41 of the commercial TV 40 through the command board 30.

Therefore, the image of the visitor and the visitor's message can be heard on the TV screen not shown by the control of the microcomputer 41.

Upon receiving the reproduction completion signal, the control apparatus 10 transmits the stop data and the room data to the hub 20 (step S41), and the hub 20 transmits the command board 30 of the room by the room data. In step S42, the stop data is transmitted to the selected board.

Therefore, the selected command board 30 transmits the received stop data to the microcomputer 41, and the microcomputer 41 receiving the stop data recognizes that the message reproduction is completed and switches back to the channel before the message reproduction. (Step S44)

As described in detail above, when the commercial TV for a hotel is installed, the CCTV screen is mounted on a specific channel and sent to the corresponding room, thereby enabling the customer of the room to directly identify the visitor's identity through the TV in the room. have.
