Further, when the program is provided through the telecommunication line, the intercom base unit 10 may be configured to read the program through the communication interface 12. The program updater may be configured to be provided through a local area network.

  The communication interface 12 can communicate with the terminal device 50 via a transmission path including a wireless communication path. The terminal device 50 is assumed to have a configuration that can be connected to an electric communication line such as the Internet or a mobile telephone network through a wireless communication path like a smartphone or a tablet terminal. The terminal device 50 may be a personal computer. Although it is assumed that the transmission path between the communication interface 12 and the terminal device 50 is only a wireless communication path, it does not prevent a part of the transmission path from including a wired communication path. The wireless communication path assumes that the transmission medium is a radio wave, but the transmission medium may be light such as visible light or infrared light. Further, when the transmission medium is radio waves, the communication interface 12 is a wireless that adopts a communication specification selected from WiFi (registered trademark), Bluetoorh (registered trademark), BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), short-range wireless communication, and the like. It only has to function as a station or a specific low-power radio station.

  The operation of intercom base unit 10 will be described below. The processing unit 11 normally stops the operation of the microphone 13, the speaker 14, and the monitor device 15, and activates the speaker 14 and the monitor device 15 when receiving a calling signal from any of the slave units 21 and 22. . In this state, when the user operates the call switch 18, the function of the microphone 13 becomes valid, and a call can be made between the slave units 21 and 22 through the microphone 13 and the speaker 14. Further, when a call signal from the child device 21 is received, an image captured by the camera of the child device 21 is displayed on the monitor device 15, and when a call signal from the child device 22 is received, an image captured by the camera 221 is displayed. Displayed on the monitor device 15.

  On the other hand, when the call switch 18 is not operated within a predetermined time after receiving the call signal, the processing unit 11 records visitor information indicating that the call signal has been received in the recording device 24. The predetermined time here is, for example, about 1 minute to 2 minutes. The visitor information includes information indicating that the slave units 21 and 22 output the call signal, and is recorded in the recording device 24 together with the time when the processing unit 11 receives the call signal. The slave unit 21 activates the camera when the call signal is output and sends a video signal to the interphone master unit 10, and the slave unit 22 activates the camera 221 and outputs the video signal to the interphone master unit when the call signal is output. Send to 10. In the recording device 24, a video signal sent from the slave unit 21 or the slave unit 22 is also recorded as visitor information. That is, when the call switch 18 is not operated by the interphone master unit 10 in response to a call signal from the slave unit 21 or the slave unit 22, the information of the visitor is recorded in the recording device 24.

  When the processing unit 11 receives delivery information from the slave unit 23, the processing unit 11 activates the monitor device 15 and displays on the screen of the monitor device 15 content indicating that the delivery item is stored in the box 26. The delivery information may include delivery person image information, delivery sender information, and the like. When the interphone base unit 10 receives delivery information from the handset 23, the information is recorded in the recording device 24 together with the date and time when the delivery information is received. When the delivery item stored in the box 26 is collected, the slave unit 23 outputs information indicating that the delivery item has been collected from the sensor 261. When the interphone master unit 10 receives this information, it is recorded in the recording device 24. The delivery information is deleted. Accordingly, if the delivery item is not collected with respect to the delivery item information from the slave unit 23, the interphone base unit 10 stores the delivery item information in the recording device 24 as information not corresponding to the delivery item information. Left behind.

  As described above, the slave units 21 and 22 output information on visitors, and the slave unit 23 outputs information on delivery items. When the call switch 18 is operated after the intercom master unit 10 receives the visitor information, the visitor information is handled as handled and is not recorded in the recording device 24. On the other hand, if the call switch 18 is not operated after the intercom master unit 10 receives the visitor information, the visitor information is handled as unsupported and recorded in the recording device 24. Further, after the delivery item information is recorded in the recording device 24, it is treated as unsupported until the delivery item is collected, and is left in the recording device 24.

  The visitor information and the delivery information recorded in the recording device 24 can be confirmed in the intercom base unit 10. The intercom base unit 10 includes an operation unit for confirming the contents of the recording device 24. When the operation unit is operated, the processing unit 11 displays the information recorded in the recording device 24 on the monitor device 15. To do.

  When the visitor information recorded in the recording device 24 is displayed on the monitor device 15 of the intercom master unit 10, the visitor information displayed on the monitor device 15 is the same as the information that the call switch 18 is operated. In addition, the information is handled as information already handled by the intercom base unit 10. It is desirable to add data for distinguishing between non-correspondence and correspondence to the visitor information recorded in the recording device 24. The delivery item recorded in the recording device 24 is unsupported if the delivery item is not collected from the box 26, and is dealt with if the delivery item is collected from the box 26. The delivery information recorded in the recording device 24 may be erased as described above after the delivery is collected from the box 26. However, as with the visitor information, the correspondence between the non-correspondence and the correspondence is indicated. Data to be distinguished may be added and left in the recording device 24.

  By the way, this type of information corresponds to, for example, information generated during the absence period of the user who lives in the dwelling unit 31 where the interphone master unit 10 is installed. Information generated when the user residing in the dwelling unit 31 cannot respond to a call signal from the interphone master unit 10 such as during bathing, sleeping, or working in a place where the interphone master unit 10 is not installed. It is the same. These pieces of information recorded in the recording device 24 can be appropriately deleted by operating a predetermined operation unit of the intercom base unit 10.

  The intercom system 100 according to the present embodiment can perform the operation of the processing unit 11 when the operation unit is operated from the terminal device 50. In order to enable this operation, the terminal device 50 is linked to the interphone master unit 10 by an application program (so-called “application”). That is, the application program has a function of associating the interphone master unit 10 with the terminal device 50 owned by the user who lives in the dwelling unit 31 where the interphone master unit 10 is installed.

  The intercom base unit 10 can perform wireless communication with the terminal device 50 on which the above-described application program is mounted via the communication interface 12. Here, by performing a predetermined operation on at least one of the interphone base unit 10 and the terminal device 50, the interphone base unit 10 and the terminal device 50 are automatically linked. The intercom base unit 10 and the terminal device 50 may be configured to be linked by manually inputting an encryption key for communication.

  The terminal device 50 that has finished the linking operation with the interphone base unit 10 confirms the visitor information and the delivery information recorded in the recording device 24 for the dwelling unit 31 in which the interphone base unit 10 is installed. It is possible. When the information recorded in the recording device 24 is confirmed by the terminal device 50, an application program is activated on the terminal device 50. Next, the terminal device 50 transmits a notification requesting confirmation of the visitor information or the delivery information stored in the recording device 24 to the intercom base unit 10. After authenticating the terminal device 50, the processing unit 11 of the intercom base unit 10 receives a notification requesting confirmation of information recorded in the recording device 24 from the terminal device 50, and records visitor information or delivery information. Read from the device 24 and output to the terminal device 50.

  The recording device 24 records information on visitors who did not respond to the call signal from the intercom base unit 10 or information on undelivered deliveries out of deliveries notified to the interphone base unit 10. Yes. Therefore, the information output to the terminal device 50 by the intercom base unit 10 through the communication interface 12 is information on visitors who have not responded to the call signal and information on deliveries that have not been collected from the box 26.

  However, since the information output to the monitor device 15 of the interphone master unit 10 is already handled among the visitor information, the handled information may not be output to the terminal device 50. When the processing unit 11 requests confirmation of the information recorded in the recording device 24 from the terminal device 50, only the unsupported information of the visitor information and the delivery information is stored in the terminal device 50. It may be output. When selecting the information to be output to the terminal device 50, the processing unit 11 refers to the data for distinguishing between the above-mentioned unsupported and supported for the information recorded in the recording device 24, and selects only unsupported information. What is necessary is just to output to the terminal device 50.

  Processing performed by the processing unit 11 of the intercom base unit 10 in relation to the terminal device 50 will be described with reference to FIG. Note that FIG. 3 does not describe the case where the user has dealt with the information when the visitor information or the delivery information is notified to the intercom base unit 10. When the processing unit 11 receives the visitor information from the slave units 21 and 22 (S11: Yes) or receives the delivery information from the slave unit 23 (S12: Yes), these pieces of information are recorded in the recording device 24. (S13). If there is no visitor information (S11: No) and there is no delivery information (S12: No), it waits until the handset 21, 22, 23 outputs information.

  When the confirmation of the information recorded in the recording device 24 is requested from the terminal device 50 (S14: Yes), the processing unit 11 confirms whether there is information that has not been output to the intercom base unit 10. (S15). If there is information in the recording device 24 that is not output to the interphone master unit 10 (S15: Yes), the processing unit 11 outputs the information to the terminal device 50 (S16). In step S <b> 15, the processing unit 11 returns a response indicating that there is no information to be output to the terminal device 50 to the terminal device 50 if there is no information not output to the intercom base unit 10 in the recording device 24 (S <b> 15: No). (S17).

  By the way, it is desirable that the processing unit 11 is configured to leave the corresponding information without deleting it from the recording device 24 even if the information recorded in the recording device 24 is output to the terminal device 50. In this case, in the interphone base unit 10, the information output from the recording device 24 to the terminal device 50 is output again to the monitor device 15 that is the output device 15 by operating a predetermined operation unit of the interphone base unit 10. It is possible.

  When a plurality of users are resident in the dwelling unit 31, any one of the users can check the information on the recording device 24 with the interphone master unit 10 and take a countermeasure according to the information. The handling according to the information means, for example, contacting a visitor, collecting a delivery from the box 26, and the like. However, if all the information output to the terminal device 50 is output again to the monitor device 15, it may be troublesome for the user who lives in the dwelling unit 31. For this reason, when outputting the information recorded in the recording device 24 to the monitor device 15, it is desirable that whether to output the information to the monitor device 15 can be selected for each information.

  Therefore, when the processing unit 11 outputs the information recorded in the recording device 24 to the monitoring device 15, the monitoring device displays a list of the distinction between the visitor information and the delivery information and the date and time corresponding to the information. 15 is displayed. Here, an item corresponding to one piece of information in the list is called “heading”. In a state where the list is displayed on the monitor device 15, the processing unit 11 waits for designation of one or more headings from the headings in the list. When a predetermined operation unit of the intercom base unit 10 is operated and any heading information is designated, the processing unit 11 reads information corresponding to the designated heading from the recording device 24 and displays the information on the monitor device 15. To do.

  In addition, when a predetermined operation unit of the intercom base unit 10 is operated and cancellation is instructed, information is not read from the recording device 24, and when erasure is instructed, information is deleted from the recording device 24. Information to be deleted from the recording device 24 can be selected for each heading displayed in the list. Even if the processing unit 11 displays the information read from the recording device 24 on the monitor device 15, it is desirable not to erase the information in the recording device 24 but to erase the information after the erasing operation is performed. .

  As described above, when the processing unit 11 outputs the information recorded in the recording device 24 to the monitor device 15, the information output to the terminal device 50 among the information recorded in the recording device 24. It is configured to receive an instruction as to whether or not to output to the monitor device 15. Of the information recorded in the recording device 24, it is desirable that the processing unit 11 displays information that has not been output to the terminal device 50 on the monitor device 15 of the interphone master unit 10 in the order of the date and time when the information was generated. . In addition, the processing unit 11 may cause information not output to the terminal device 50 among the information recorded in the recording device 24 to be selected from the list in the same manner as the information output to the terminal device 50.

  In the intercom system 100 described above, a request for confirmation is transmitted from the terminal device 50 when the information recorded in the recording device 24 is output from the interphone base unit 10 to the terminal device 50. Therefore, the terminal device 50 is recorded in the recording device 24 if it can secure a transmission path that enables communication with the interphone base unit 10 without directly communicating with the interphone base unit 10 of the dwelling unit 31. Information can be confirmed. For example, if the interphone system 100 is connected to a telecommunication line that is a wide area network such as the Internet, and the interphone master unit 10 can communicate with the terminal device 50 through this telecommunication line, the terminal device 50 can be located at any place. Information can be confirmed.

  In the interphone system 100 described above, transmission between the terminal device 50 and the interphone master unit 10 is such that confirmation of information can be requested from the terminal device 50 at the shared part 32 outside the apartment house 30 or outside the dwelling unit 31. It is possible to build a road. If the information recorded in the recording device 24 can be confirmed outside the collective housing 30 or in the common part 32, it is not necessary to return to the dwelling unit 31. It is possible to go home.

  On the other hand, when the communication interface 12 of the intercom base unit 10 is configured to directly communicate with the terminal device 50, the information recorded in the recording device 24 is stored only in the vicinity of the dwelling unit 31 or in the vicinity of the dwelling unit 31. It can be confirmed by the terminal device 50. In this case, the transmission path between the communication interface 12 and the terminal device 50 is only a wireless communication path. The processing unit 11 monitors whether or not communication is possible between the communication interface 12 and the terminal device 50. When the terminal device 50 enters an area where communication is possible from an area where the terminal device 50 cannot communicate with the communication interface 12, the processing unit 11 automatically reads information recorded in the recording device 24 and outputs the information to the terminal device 50. Configured. That is, the intercom base unit 10 performs push communication with the terminal device 50, and if the user does not support the information stored in the recording device 24, the interphone master device 10 notifies the terminal device 50 to cope with it. Can be urged.
