Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing a gateway device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of an internal intercom system using a gateway device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the following, the case where the gateway device of the embodiment of the present invention is placed in each of the collective houses will be described as an example. However, the technique described below is not limited to the purpose of the collective house use. That is, the technology described below can be applied even for various facilities or single-family homes.

As shown in FIG. 2, the collective house 10 is provided with an internal intercom system. The internal intercom system includes a resident unit 21 and a video doorbell unit 22, as well as a sharing unit 23 and a management room unit 24. The household unit 21 functions as a visual doorbell mother machine disposed in the household 11 of the collective house 10. Further, the sharer 23 is disposed in the shared portion 12 of the collective house 10. The shared machine 23 is exemplified as an intercom telephone disposed in the front hall of the main entrance. In the case of a collective house having facilities such as a children's playroom, a sports facility, a medical treatment room, and the like, the facilities are also included in the shared portion 12, and there is also a case where the shared machine 23 is disposed in the facilities. The management room parent machine 24 is disposed in the manager's office.

The household unit 21 and the video doorbell unit 22 are connected via the household dedicated line 25. On the other hand, the household unit 21 and the shared unit 23 are connected to the communication line 26 in the area. Further, the household unit 21 and the management room main unit 24 are connected to the communication line 26 in the area. The communication line 26 in the area can transmit control signals, sound signals, and image signals. The control signal means a call signal, an alarm signal, and the like.

The control device 27 is connected between the household unit 21, the shared machine 23, and the management room parent machine 24. The control device 27 can be connected to a maximum of 16 in parallel, and in the case of a large-scale collective house, 100 to 1000 household appliances 21 are connected to the control device 27. The control device 27 performs one-to-one communication between the resident unit 21 and the shared machine 23, between the resident unit 21 and the management room parent unit 24, in addition to the notification of the entire building. For example, when the shared machine 23 disposed in the front entrance of the main entrance calls the household unit 21 of the specific household 11, the household machine 21 and the shared machine 23 occupy the communication line 26 in the area until the household machine 21 and the shared machine 23 The call ends. Further, when a plurality of control devices 27 are connected in parallel, a plurality of household appliances 21 may be called from the shared machine 23 through a plurality of control devices 27.

The intercom system described above forms a closed system in the collective dwelling 10 and can be used independently of other systems. In order to link the internal intercom system to an external system, a gateway device (apartment gateway) 28 can be connected to the control device 27.

However, the household appliances 21 disposed in each of the households 11 respectively have connection ports (not shown) that connect the gateway devices 30. The gateway device 30 has a function of a conversion protocol between the internal intercom system and the IP network. The so-called IP network refers to a communication network that can send and receive data according to IP (Internet Protocol).

The IP network is not only constructed as a telecommunications network that is used within the range of the households 11 equipped with the household appliances 21, but also in the manner of being constructed in a telecommunications network that is used outside the scope of the household 11. The telecommunication network (hereinafter referred to as "resident network") NT1 used in the range in which the households 11 of the household appliances 21 are disposed can use either the wired communication path or the wireless communication path.

When using a telecommunication network (hereinafter referred to as "external network") NT2 used outside the range of the household 11, a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) router is installed between the residential network NT1 and the external network NT2. 41. In the configuration example shown in FIG. 2, the wireless LAN router 41 and the gateway device 30 communicate using a wired communication path in accordance with the Ethernet (registered trademark) protocol. However, the wireless LAN router 41 and the gateway device 30 can also communicate using a wireless communication path.

The external network NT2 of the configuration example shown in FIG. 2 includes a telecommunications network (hereinafter referred to as "area network") NT21 inside the collective housing 10 and a network-like telecommunications network such as the outside of the collective housing 10 (hereinafter, For the "Wide Area Network" NT22. However, the external network NT2 may also be only one of the regional network NT21 and the wide area network NT22.

When the external network NT2 includes the regional network NT21 and the wide area network NT22, a network device 42 shared by the collective housing 10 is disposed between the regional network NT21 and the wide area network NT22. The network device 42 preferably includes a router or a WLC (Wireless LAN Controller) and a VPN (Virtual Private Network). Set. The configuration of the network device 42 is an example, and other configurations may be employed.

Further, in the configuration example shown in FIG. 2, the wireless LAN router 43 is connected to the regional network NT21, and the wireless LAN access point 44 is connected to the wide area network NT22. Any of the wireless LAN routers 41 and 43 and the wireless LAN access point 44 as the wireless access device are equipped with WiFi (registered trademark). In other words, the wireless LAN routers 41, 43 and the wireless LAN access point are equipped with a WiFi (registered trademark)-certified wireless LAN. The wireless LAN router 41 is connected to the wireless LAN router 41 of the other households 11 via the regional network NT21. Moreover, the wide area network NT 22 may also include a mobile telephone network. In this case, the wireless access device uses a base station of the mobile telephone network.

The number of the wireless LAN routers 41 is usually one in one household 11, but a plurality of wireless LAN routers 41 can be arranged in one household 11. Further, the wireless LAN router 43 is disposed in the shared unit 12 of the collective house 10, and the number of places and the number of the wireless LAN routers 43 are determined according to the width and number of the shared unit 12.

Furthermore, the above configuration is an example. When the external network NT2 is not included, the external network NT2 does not include the regional network NT21, and the external network NT2 does not include the wide area network NT22, the IP network can be constructed in various forms. Further, when the IP network does not include the local area network NT21, the wireless LAN router 43 is not required, and when the IP network does not include the wide area network NT22, the network device 42 or the wireless LAN access point 44 is not required.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the gateway device 30 will be described with reference to Fig. 1 . The gateway device 30 includes a first interface (hereinafter referred to as "the first I/F portion") 31 that connects the internal intercom system, and a second interface that connects the IP network (hereinafter referred to as "the second". I/F Department") 32. The first I/F unit 31 is connected to the household unit 21, and the second I/F unit 32 is connected to the wireless LAN router 41. The second I/F unit 32 is connected to the wired communication path in the configuration example shown in FIG. 2, but may be configured to use a wireless communication path. When the second I/F unit 32 is configured to use a wireless communication path and is equipped with WiFi (registered trademark), communication between the wireless terminal 50 and the gateway device 30 can be performed without using the wireless LAN router 41.

Between the first I/F unit 31 and the second I/F unit 32, there is provided a policy routing unit 33 that determines routing according to the set policy, and a protocol conversion unit 35 that internally talks to the telephone system and the IP network. The agreement between the roads is converted. The policy routing unit 33 manages the route using the relationship information set by the relationship management unit 34. The relationship information set by the relationship management unit 34 causes the household unit 21 and the management room parent machine 24 connected to the internal intercom system to establish a relationship (establish association) with the wireless LAN routers 41 and 43 and the network device 42 connected to the IP network. .

The policy set by the policy routing unit 33 and the relationship information set by the relationship management unit 34 are set in the gateway device 30 using a setting device (not shown). In the gateway device 30, a dedicated connection port for connecting the setting device may be provided. However, it is preferable that at least one of the first I/F portion 31 and the second I/F portion 32 is taken in from the setting. Device information. In this case, for example, the management room parent machine may have a function as a setting device, and the management room parent machine 24 may set the policy and relationship information to the gateway device 30 via the resident unit 21. Alternatively, a configuration may be adopted in which the policy and relationship information are set in the gateway device 30 by using the household device 21 as a setting device or by operating the wireless terminal 50 described below as a setting device.

The policy set by the policy routing unit 33 is used to link the internal intercom system to the IP network. Hereinafter, a strategy for the case where the resident machine 21 receives the call signal as a control signal will be described. In addition to being received by the resident machine 21 from the video doorbell 22 or the shared machine 23, the call signal is also received from the management room parent machine 24 or the household unit 21 of the other households 11. The household appliance 21 has a function of transmitting a notification signal to the gateway device 30 upon receiving a call signal. However, whether or not to transmit a notification signal to the gateway device 30 is selected in the household unit 21. Here, it is assumed that the state in which the notification signal is transmitted to the gateway device 30 is selected.

When receiving the notification signal from the resident computer 21, the policy routing unit 33 selects to transmit a call signal within the range of the internal intercom system or transmit a notification signal to the IP network according to the set policy. When the resident machine 21 receives the call signal, it is in the internal intercom system. When the call signal is transmitted within the range, the gateway device 30 instructs the resident unit 21 to transmit a call signal to the management room parent machine 24.

On the other hand, when the case where the household machine 21 has received the call signal is notified to the IP network, the policy routing unit 33 determines the range in which the notification signal is transmitted in the IP network in accordance with the policy. The notification range of the case is selected within the range of the household 11 alone, within the scope of the collective house 10, the specific range of the collective house 10, and the range of the collective house 10. That is, the policy routing unit 33 selects an object to transmit a notification signal from the wireless LAN routers 41, 43, the network device 42, and the wireless LAN access point 44 in accordance with the set policy. The transmission of the notification signal from the first I/F unit 31 to the second I/F unit 32 is performed by the protocol conversion unit 35.

Furthermore, since the IP network has wireless LAN routers 41 and 43 and wireless LAN access points 44 equipped with WiFi, respectively, communication can be performed with the wireless terminal 50 registered in advance. The wireless terminal 50 is preferably a mobile terminal that can be carried by a user, but can also be a personal computer that functions as a wireless LAN terminal. The mobile terminal is only required to have a display having a relatively large screen and can input and output sound, and it is preferable to use a smart phone or a tablet terminal. Further, a terminal (including a personal computer or a television receiver) connected to the home network NT1 can be used in the same manner as the wireless terminal 50.

The relationship information set by the relationship management unit 34 is information for associating the gateway device 30 with the wireless terminal 50, and the household machine 21 and the wireless terminal 50 are set by setting relationship information to the gateway device 30 connected to the household unit 21. Association. That is, when the resident machine receives the call signal, only the notification signal is transmitted to the specific wireless terminal 50 that has the relationship information set. Since the household unit 21 is disposed in each of the households 11, if the relationship information is appropriately set, the notification signal can be transmitted only to the specific wireless terminal 50 managed by the resident of each household 11.

As is clear from the above description, the relationship management unit 34 specifies the wireless terminal 50 that notifies the destination of each of the household appliances 21 that the call signal is received. Further, the policy routing unit 33 defines the communication range with the wireless terminal 50. Therefore, when the specific wireless terminal 50 corresponding to the household unit 21 exists in a specific range, the wireless terminal 50 can transmit a notification. signal.

When a plurality of policies are set in the policy routing unit 33, it is preferable to select a policy. The choice of strategy is made by the resident of the household 11 using the household unit 21 or the wireless terminal 50. By setting the selection policy, the occupant of the household 11 configured with the household appliance 21 can select a policy according to the place where the portable wireless terminal 50 moves. That is, the gateway device 30 does not cause the IP network to generate unnecessary traffic, but generates traffic within a limited range according to the policy.

For example, when the occupant of the household 11 in which the household unit 21 is placed is not in a situation where the occupant is not out, the wireless terminal 50 may be used only in the house. Therefore, the occupant selects, in the policy routing unit 33, the wireless LAN router 41 in which the household 11 of the household appliance 21 is placed as the notification range (communication range). On the other hand, when the resident goes out to the neighboring home, the resident selects the policy in such a manner that the wireless LAN router 41 of the other person is included in the communication range. Further, when the resident uses the shared unit 12, the resident can select the policy by including the wireless LAN router 43 of the shared unit 12 in the communication range.

Further, when the occupant moves in the collective house 10, the occupant can also include all the wireless LAN routers 41 and 43 of the collective house 10 in the communication range selection policy. When the resident of the resident 11 goes out to the outside of the collective residence 10, the resident may select the policy by including the wireless LAN access point 44 in the communication range. In this case, the notification signal can be received by the wireless terminal 50 as long as it is within a range that can communicate with the wireless LAN access point 44 connected to the wide area network NT22.

However, when the notification signal is transmitted to the wireless terminal 50, in order to respond to the notification signal in the wireless terminal 50, an application for utilizing the internal intercom system must be pre-assembled in the wireless terminal 50. The application is also used to receive notification signals.

The wireless terminal 50 incorporated in the application has the same function as the resident 21. That is, when the wireless terminal 50 receives the notification signal corresponding to the call signal from the sharer 23, the wireless terminal 50 displays the image captured by the camera attached to the sharer 23 on the display. at this time, A button area corresponding to a specific function is displayed on the screen of the wireless terminal 50. The function corresponding to the button area is equivalent (same) to the function used when the call signal is received in the resident unit 21, and for example, it corresponds to functions such as "call start", "call transfer (call switching)", and "end". The button area is displayed on the display. Furthermore, the function corresponding to the button area is not limited to the purpose of the functions, and the button area may be associated with other functions.

In the case of operating the button area of "Call Start", the wireless terminal 50 can communicate with the sharer 23 that transmits the call signal. After the button area of the "call start" is operated, the call automatically ends if the state of the sound signal is not generated for a certain period of time. In addition, the call is also ended when the button area of the "end" is operated after the button area of the "call start" is operated. If the call ends, the display of the image captured by the camera also ends automatically.

When a call is made by operating the button area of "Call Start", the protocol conversion unit 35 switches the agreement between the internal intercom system and the IP network. The protocol conversion unit 35 transmits the audio information bidirectionally between the first I/F unit 31 and the second I/F unit 32, and transmits the video information from the first I/F unit 31 toward the second I/F unit 32. Furthermore, the IP network transmits a packet containing sound data representing the sound information and a packet containing the image data representing the image information. On the other hand, the signal for transmitting the sound information and the image information in the internal intercom system can be any of the analog signal and the digital signal.

When the button area of the "call transfer (call switching)" is operated, the object of the call with the sharer 23 is transferred (switched) to the management room parent machine 24. This function is effective when the manager and the visitor confirmed by the camera attached to the shared machine 23 are responded to, for example, in the case of receiving the goods from the delivery person, or responding to the suspicious person. The situation is used when it is used.

The operation of the button area when the wireless terminal 50 is provided with a pointing device like a mouse means that the cursor is overlapped with the button area and clicked, etc., in the wireless When the terminal 50 is provided with a touch panel, it means an operation of touching the button area with a fingertip or a stylus.

However, depending on the performance of the wireless terminal 50 or the communication quality or the amount of communication of the IP network, it may be impossible to sufficiently ensure the frequency band for transmitting the image data for displaying images or the sound data for making a call. In order to prevent such a situation, the gateway device 30 preferably has a function of suppressing the amount of information of the image data and preferentially ensuring the amount of information of the sound data.

The above-described operation example is related to the operation of the call signal, but the same operation can be performed for the alarm signal generated based on the transmission of the fire sensor or the intrusion sensor disposed in the household 11 of the collective house 10 or the shared unit 12. Further, the alarm signal is also notified to the wireless terminal 50 regarding the type of event in which the alarm signal is generated.

Further, in the above configuration example, the gateway device 30 is separated from the household unit 21, but the function of the gateway device 30 may be built in the casing of the household unit 21. In this case, the function of the gateway device 30 is preferably provided as an adapter built into the household unit 21 in an attached form. That is, when the internal intercom system is linked to the IP network, the adapter is installed in the resident unit 21, and the resident unit 21 can be used alone without connecting the intercom system to the IP network. In other words, two kinds of household appliances 21 can be provided in accordance with the case where the adapter is installed without raising the product variety of the household unit 21.

Further, in the above configuration example, the gateway device 30 is separated from the wireless LAN router 41, but the function of the wireless LAN router 41 may be built in the casing of the gateway device 30. Therefore, as described above, in the case where the adapter having the function of the gateway device 30 is provided, the functions of the gateway device 30 and the wireless LAN router 41 are built in the casing of the household appliance 21. Therefore, the above functions can be realized only by arranging the household unit 21 in the household 11.

Further, as described above, since the household unit 21 has a function as an internal intercom telephone main unit, the gateway device 30 is connected to the internal intercom base unit. This relationship can also be applied to various facilities or single-family homes. For example, if it is a single-family home, by combining the internal intercom The above-mentioned functions can be enjoyed by the parent machine (the household unit 21) and the gateway device 30. Further, in the single-family house, since the shared machine 23 does not exist, the gateway device 30 transmits a notification signal to the wireless terminal 50 when the internal intercom main unit (the resident unit 21) receives the call signal from the video doorbell unit 22. . In this case, the wireless terminal 50 can make a call with the video doorbell sub-machine 22 by the operation of "call start". Further, in the collective house 10, a call can be realized between the video doorbell device 22 and the wireless terminal 50.

As described above, the gateway device 30 of the present embodiment has the following first feature.

In the first aspect, the gateway device 30 includes a first dielectric surface portion 31, a second dielectric surface portion 32, a relationship management portion 34, a policy routing portion 33, and a protocol conversion portion 35. The first interface 31 is connected to the internal intercom (the household unit 21) of the internal intercom system together with the video doorbell unit 22. In other words, the first interface portion 31 is connected to an internal intercom system in which the video doorbell unit 22 is constructed together with the internal intercom base unit (the resident unit 21). The second interface 32 is connected to an IP network including a wireless access device that communicates with the wireless terminal 50. The relationship management unit 34 sets relationship information for performing association with the wireless terminal 50 which is the terminal of the IP network. The policy routing unit 33 determines the range of communication between the internal intercom system and the IP network as a policy. The protocol conversion unit 35 performs a contract conversion between the internal intercom system and the IP network. When the notification signal is input to the first dielectric surface 31 when the internal intercom radio master (the resident 21) receives the control signal, the protocol conversion unit 35 transmits a notification signal to the wireless terminal 50 via the second dielectric unit 32.

Further, the gateway device 30 of the present embodiment may have any of the following second to fifth features in addition to the first feature.

In the second feature, the control signal is a call signal from the video doorbell sub-machine 22.

In the third feature, the intercom system includes an intercom base (home unit 21) and a sharer 23. The internal intercom system is disposed in each of the households 11 of the collective housing 10 including a plurality of households 11 and a sharing unit 12. The shared machine 23 is disposed in the shared portion 12 of the collective house 10 and is connected to the internal intercom base unit via the regional communication line 26. And, control The signal is from the call signal of the sharing machine 23.

In the fourth feature, the intercom system includes an intercom main telephone (household 21) and a management room main unit 24. The internal intercom system is disposed in each of the households 11 of the collective residence 10 including a plurality of households 11 and a manager's office. The management room main unit 24 is disposed in the manager's room of the collective house 10 and is connected to the internal intercom phone main unit via the communication line 26 in the area.
