Generally, a home automation system is intended to integrate various convenience functions such as a call function with a security guard, an unmanned security guard, and a remote opening and closing of a door to each household in a multi-family complex such as an apartment, a townhouse, and a business building. System.

Typically, such a home automation system is configured such that a home automation terminal installed in each household, an unmanned security terminal installed in a main part of the complex, a control terminal installed in a guard room, and the like interoperate with each other through a communication network. The intercom call is possible with an external unmanned security terminal and control terminal.

Therefore, using such a home automation system, a security guard in charge of the security inside the complex calls an interphone to a home automation terminal of a specific household through a control terminal installed in the guard room to notify a notice or visit an outsider who wants to visit. Through the unmanned security terminal, it is possible to call the interphone to the residents in the household to make a call for visiting and access permission.

However, according to the conventional interphone calling system using a home automation system, when a security guard or an outsider calls the interphone within a specific household, if all the residents of the household go out and there is no one in the household, it is impossible to talk to the occupant. There is this.

Therefore, even if a security guard or an outsider attempts to inform the household of any notices through the interphone, intercom calls are not possible until the outgoing resident returns to the household. There is a fatal problem with interphones that can be misused as a verification tool when checking for the presence.

Nevertheless, it is very inconvenient for the security guard or outsider who wants to make a call to record the outgoing landline or mobile terminal number of the residents living in each household. There is no prevention method used to check the vacant house.

The present invention was devised to solve these problems, and when a resident living in a household goes out to the outside and is absent, an external telephone number set by the resident in advance for the interphone called within the household, that is, the work telephone number of the resident. Alternatively, by providing an interphone / external telephone automatic connection system that automatically connects to a mobile communication terminal number or the like, an outsider who wants to make a call can conduct a call with an externally located resident regardless of whether or not there is a resident. Its purpose is to help people with unintended intentions, such as thieves, prevent them from being used to identify vacant homes.
