It is possible.

Next, a construction test from the construction of the intercom system configured as described above to the apartment house to the actual operation will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, when the intercom system is installed in the apartment house (step S10), energization of the intercom system is started and the entire intercom system is operated (step S11). At this time, various initial processes are performed in the shared device 10 of the interphone system, the interphone master unit 20, and the like. Moreover, when a voltage is first applied to each interphone master 20 of the interphone system, the master control unit 28 sets (selects) a construction threshold, and sets the construction threshold (condition A1-1 in the corresponding mode table). A2-1 and A3-1) are used for appropriate determination.

  Next, the base unit control unit 28 determines, for example, whether the dwelling unit 40 connected to the intercom base unit 20 has an imaging unit (step S12). As an example, for example, the intercom base unit 20 includes an enable switch, and it is determined whether the dwelling unit 40 connected in the state of the switch has an imaging unit.

(Test at the time of construction at the time of connection of the dwelling unit 40a with an imaging unit)
For example, when the dwelling unit 40 connected to the interphone base unit 20 has an imaging unit (step S12: Yes), the base unit control unit 28 measures the measured voltage value (supply voltage value) measured by the voltage measuring unit 32. ) Is 40V or higher (step S20).

  When the measured voltage value is 40 V or more (step S20: Yes), the base unit control unit 28 determines that the construction is finished and starts operation in the operation mode of the condition A1-2 in which the operation threshold is set ( Step S40).

On the other hand, when the measured voltage value is less than 40V (step S20: No), the parent device control unit 28 determines whether or not the measured voltage value is 33V or more (step S21).
When the measured voltage value is 33 V or more (step S21: Yes), the parent device control unit 28 determines that the measured voltage value is equal to or higher than the supply voltage of the separate power supply 50 and is the supply voltage of the lobby power supply 19. However, since the supply voltage of the lobby power supply 19 has not reached 40V, which is the construction threshold value (lower limit) of the condition A1-1, it is determined that the construction is abnormal (step S50). At this time, the base unit control unit 28 may output a warning sound or a message sound informing that the construction is abnormal from the voice output unit 13 of the shared unit device 10, for example. Thereafter, the power supply of the entire intercom system is turned off manually or automatically (step S51). Subsequently, it is reconstructed by the installer (step S52). Thereafter, a series of flow from step S11 is repeatedly performed until the operation becomes possible.

On the other hand, when the measured voltage value is less than 33V (step S21: No), the parent device control unit 28 determines whether or not the measured voltage value is 27V or more (step S22).
When the measured voltage value is 27 V or more (step S22: Yes), the main unit control unit 28 determines that the construction is finished and starts operation in the operation mode of the condition A2-2 in which the operation threshold is set ( Step S70).

  On the other hand, when the measured voltage value is less than 27 V (step S22: No), the parent device control unit 28 determines that the supply voltage of the separate power supply 50 is present. However, since the supply voltage of the separate power supply 50 has not reached 27 V, which is the construction threshold (lower limit) of the condition A2-1, it is determined that the construction is abnormal (step S60). At this time, the base unit control unit 28 may output a warning sound or a message sound informing that the construction is abnormal from the voice output unit 13 of the shared unit device 10, for example. Thereafter, the power supply of the entire intercom system is turned off manually or automatically (step S61). Next, it is reconstructed by the installer (step S62). Thereafter, a series of flow from step S11 is repeatedly performed until the operation becomes possible.

(Test at the time of construction when the dwelling unit 40b without the imaging unit is connected)
Further, when the dwelling unit 40 connected to the intercom base unit 20 has no imaging unit (step S30: No), the base unit control unit 28 measures the measured voltage value (supply voltage value) measured by the voltage measuring unit 32. ) Is 40V or higher (step S30).

When the measured voltage value is 40 V or more (step S30: Yes), the parent device control unit 28 starts operation in the operation mode of the condition A1-2 (step S40).
On the other hand, when the measured voltage value is less than 40V (step S30: No), the parent device control unit 28 determines whether or not the measured voltage value is 33V or more (step S31).

  When the measured voltage value is 33 V or higher (step S31: Yes), the parent device control unit 28 determines that the measured voltage value is equal to or higher than the supply voltage of the separate power supply 50 and is the supply voltage of the lobby power supply 19. However, since the supply voltage of the lobby power supply 19 has not reached 40V, which is the construction threshold value (lower limit) of the condition A1-1, it is determined that the construction is abnormal (step S50). At this time, the base unit control unit 28 may output a warning sound or a message sound informing that the construction is abnormal from the voice output unit 13 of the shared unit device 10, for example. Thereafter, the power supply of the entire intercom system is turned off manually or automatically (step S51). Subsequently, it is reconstructed by the installer (step S52). Thereafter, a series of flow from step S11 is repeatedly performed until the operation becomes possible.

On the other hand, when the measured voltage value is less than 33V (step S31: No), the parent device control unit 28 determines whether or not the measured voltage value is 25V or more (step S32).
When the measured voltage value is 25 V or more (step S22: Yes), the base unit control unit 28 determines that the construction is finished and starts operation in the operation mode of the condition A3-2 in which the operation threshold is set ( Step S80).

  On the other hand, when the measured voltage value is less than 25 V (step S32: No), the parent device control unit 28 determines that the supply voltage of the separate power supply 50 is present. However, since the supply voltage of the separate power supply 50 has not reached 25 V, which is the threshold (lower limit value) during construction of the condition A3-1, it is determined that the construction is abnormal (step S60). At this time, the base unit control unit 28 may output a warning sound or a message sound informing that the construction is abnormal from the voice output unit 13 of the shared unit device 10, for example. Thereafter, the power supply of the entire intercom system is turned off manually or automatically (step S61). Next, it is reconstructed by the installer (step S62). Thereafter, a series of flow from step S11 is repeatedly performed until the operation becomes possible.

  As described above, even if the power supplies 19 and 50 that can be supplied with different supply voltages are used, it is possible to determine whether or not the construction is out of the specification range of each of the power supplies 19 and 50. , 50 can be prevented from exceeding the power supply capacity.

  Next, an example of the fail-safe operation when the intercom system construction test is finished and the operation is actually started will be described. Incidentally, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, three types of fail-safe operations of the restriction modes 1 to 3 are set depending on the measurement voltage, and the restriction mode 1, the restriction mode 2, and the restriction mode are set as the measurement voltage value decreases. The limit of operation is expanded in the order of 3.

Here, the restriction modes 1 to 3 will be described with reference to FIG. These are merely examples, and may be changed as appropriate according to specifications and the like.
[Restricted mode 1]
Playback of video and audio recorded when a call is made between the interphone master 20 and the shared device 10 or between the interphone master 20 and the dwelling unit 40 is prohibited. In addition, the video or audio recorded when the intercom master 20 of a specific dwelling unit is called by the shared unit 10 or the video or audio recorded when the intercom master 20 is called by the dwelling unit 40 Audio playback is prohibited.

Furthermore, the monitoring function is prohibited.
Further, changes in user settings such as brightness adjustment of the video display unit 21 by the brightness switching button 25 and volume adjustment of the ringing sound by the volume switching button 24 are prohibited.

[Restricted mode 2]
In addition to the restriction mode 1, the brightness of the video display unit 21 is changed to the lowest state within the range where the luminance is lit. Alternatively, the video display unit 21 is turned off.

[Restricted mode 3]
In addition to the restriction mode 2, the state is changed to the smallest state within the range of the sound output by the audio output unit 23. Alternatively, power supply (signal transmission) to the voice output unit 23 and the voice input unit 22 is prohibited, and a call is prohibited.

  When the operation under the condition A1-2 is started in the determination of the construction test, the master unit control unit 28 operates the interphone system while periodically monitoring the measured voltage value measured by the voltage measuring unit 32. It has been continued.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the base unit control unit 28 selects a fail-safe operation (low power consumption mode) in which the operation is limited or a normal operation without an operation limitation depending on the value of the measured voltage value (step S41). .

  When the measured voltage value is higher than 35 V, which is the fail safe value of the condition A1-2, the parent device control unit 28 operates the interphone parent device 20 in a normal operation without operation restriction (step S42).

  When the measured voltage value is 35 V or less, which is the fail safe value of condition A1-2, base unit control unit 28 operates interphone base unit 20 in a fail safe operation (low power consumption mode) in which the operation is limited. .

At this time, for example, when the measured voltage value is 35V or less and higher than 33V, the parent device control unit 28 operates the interphone parent device 20 in the restriction mode 1 (step S43).
For example, when the measured voltage value is 33V or less and higher than 30V, the parent device control unit 28 operates the interphone parent device 20 in the restriction mode 2 in which the operation restriction number is larger than that in the restriction mode 1 (step S44). .

  For example, when the measured voltage value is 30 V or less, the parent device control unit 28 operates the interphone parent device 20 in the restriction mode 3 in which the operation restriction number is larger than that in the restriction mode 2 (step S45).

  When the operation under the condition A2-2 is started in the judgment of the construction test, the master unit control unit 28 operates the interphone system while periodically monitoring the measured voltage value measured by the voltage measuring unit 32. It has been continued.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the base unit control unit 28 selects a fail-safe operation (low power consumption mode) in which operation is restricted or a normal operation without operation restriction depending on the value of the measured voltage value (step S71). .

  When the measured voltage value is higher than 24V, which is the fail-safe value of Condition A2-2, the base unit control unit 28 operates the interphone base unit 20 in a normal operation without operation restriction (step S72).

  When the measured voltage value is equal to or lower than 24 V, which is the fail-safe value of condition A2-2, base unit control unit 28 operates interphone base unit 20 in a fail-safe operation (low power consumption mode) in which the operation is limited. .

At this time, for example, when the measured voltage value is 24V or less and higher than 22V, the parent device control unit 28 operates the interphone parent device 20 in the restriction mode 1 (step S73).
For example, when the measured voltage value is 22V or less and higher than 19V, the parent device control unit 28 operates the interphone parent device 20 in the restriction mode 2 in which the operation restriction number is larger than that in the restriction mode 1 (step S74). .

  For example, when the measured voltage value is 19 V or less, the parent device control unit 28 operates the interphone parent device 20 in the restriction mode 3 in which the operation restriction number is larger than that in the restriction mode 2 (step S75).

  Further, when the operation under the condition A3-2 is started in the judgment of the construction test, the master unit control unit 28 monitors the measurement voltage value measured by the voltage measurement unit 32 and periodically monitors the interphone system. Operation has been continued.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the base unit control unit 28 selects a fail-safe operation (low power consumption mode) in which the operation is limited or a normal operation without an operation limitation depending on the value of the measured voltage value (step S81). .

  When the measured voltage value is higher than 18V, which is the fail-safe value of Condition A3-2, base unit control unit 28 operates intercom base unit 20 in a normal operation with no operation restriction (step S82).

  When the measured voltage value is equal to or lower than 18 V, which is the fail-safe value of Condition A3-2, base unit control unit 28 operates interphone base unit 20 in a fail-safe operation (low power consumption mode) in which the operation is limited. .

At this time, for example, when the measured voltage value is 18V or less and higher than 16V, the parent device control unit 28 operates the interphone parent device 20 in the restriction mode 1 (step S73).
For example, when the measured voltage value is 16 V or less and higher than 13 V, the parent device control unit 28 operates the interphone parent device 20 in the restriction mode 2 in which the operation restriction number is larger than that in the restriction mode 1 (step S84). .

  For example, when the measured voltage value is 13 V or less, the parent device control unit 28 operates the interphone parent device 20 in the restriction mode 3 having a larger operation restriction number than the restriction mode 2 (step S85).

  As described above, even when a plurality of power supplies having different voltages are connected, a fail-safe operation is possible. Furthermore, fail safe operation is possible by setting a threshold value for each of the dwelling unit 40a and the dwelling unit 40b having no imaging unit.

Next, the effect of this embodiment will be described.
(1) The base unit control unit 28 determines an operation mode corresponding to a plurality of different supply voltages, and the interphone base unit 20 is operated in the determined operation mode (condition). For this reason, the intercom base unit 20 can be appropriately operated within a range that does not exceed the power supply capability of the power sources 19 and 50.

  (2) In the corresponding mode table, for each of a plurality of different supplied voltages, the supply voltage range in a state where the dwelling unit 40b without the imaging unit is connected and the dwelling unit 40a with the imaging unit are connected. A plurality of supply voltage ranges in a state where the voltage drops are set. For this reason, it can be appropriately operated depending on the presence or absence of the imaging unit 41.

  (3) When the base unit control unit 28 becomes the fail safe value or less, the base unit control unit 28 shifts to the low power consumption mode that restricts the function of the intercom base unit 20, so that the power supply capacity of each of the power sources 19 and 50 is appropriately exceeded. The intercom base unit 20 can be operated.

  (4) As the fail-safe value, a construction threshold value and an operation threshold value lower than the construction threshold value are set. For this reason, the base unit control unit 28 appropriately changes the threshold value according to the test using the voltage required at the time of construction and the voltage required by the load on the system within the specification range assumed at the time of operation, and appropriately controls the interphone base unit 20. Can be operated.

  (5) Since the audio output unit 23 is provided to notify that the operation of the interphone master unit 20 is restricted when the operation is shifted to the fail-safe operation (low power consumption mode), the resident or the contractor is notified. Can do.

  (6) The operation of the interphone master unit 20 is limited in a stepwise manner as the supply voltage decreases within the range of the fail safe value or less by the master unit control unit 28. For this reason, the required power in the intercom base unit 20 can be suppressed while maintaining the minimum necessary functions as the intercom base unit 20.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the intercom system will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same numbers are assigned to the same configurations as those in the first embodiment, and some or all of the descriptions are omitted.

The lobby power supply 19 includes a power supply unit 51, a mixing / separating unit 52, and a communication unit 53.

  The power supply unit 51 is connected to a commercial power supply and supplies power to the shared unit device 10 and each interphone master unit 20. The power supply unit 51 is connected to a mixing / separating unit 52 that mixes / separates power and communication signals such as identification information of the lobby power supply 19.

  The mixing / separating unit 52 is connected to the communication unit 53. For example, the communication unit 53 transmits the identification information of the lobby power supply 19 to the interphone master 20 side via the mixing / separating unit 52. At this time, the mixing / separating unit 52 superimposes the power and the identification information of the lobby power supply 19 and transmits the superimposed information to the interphone master 20 side.

  Similar to the first embodiment, the interphone master unit 20 includes a video display unit 21, an audio input unit 22, an audio output unit 23, a volume switching button 24, a brightness switching button 25, a call button 26, An unlock button 27, a parent device control unit 28, and communication units 29 and 30 are provided.

  The intercom base unit 20 includes a mixing / separating unit 61 connected to the power supply line PSL, a power supply unit 62, and a communication unit 63. The mixing / separating unit 61 separates the power and the identification information of the lobby power supply 19, outputs the power to the power supply unit 62, and outputs the identification information of the lobby power supply 19 to the communication unit 63.

  The power supply unit 62 supplies power separated by the mixing / separating unit 61 to each unit in the interphone master unit 20. Further, the power supply unit 62 measures a supply voltage supplied to the intercom master unit 20. The voltage measurement unit 32 is electrically connected to the parent device control unit 28 as in the first embodiment, and outputs the measurement result of the supply voltage to the parent device control unit 28.

The communication unit 63 outputs the identification information of the lobby power supply 19 separated by the mixing / separating unit 61 to the parent device control unit 28.
Base unit control unit 28 records the identification information of lobby power supply 19 in a memory (not shown). Base unit control unit 28 transmits identification information of intercom base unit 20 to shared unit device 10 via communication unit 29, branch line BL, branch unit B, and trunk line TL. In the shared unit 10, when the communication unit 17 receives the identification information of the power supply unit 62 of the interphone base unit 20, the lobby control unit 18 counts the number and recognizes the number of connections of the interphone base unit 20. It can be done.

The interphone base unit 20 corresponds to power sources having different voltages, and the following pattern is considered as an example of a connection pattern between the power source and the interphone base unit 20.
(Connection pattern P1)
As shown in FIG. 12, the interphone master unit 20 is connected to a commercial power source provided in advance in each dwelling unit, for example, and is directly supplied with power from the commercial power source. In this case, a configuration in which the mixing / separating unit 61 and the communication unit 63 are omitted may be employed, particularly when confirmation of the connection state with the shared unit device 10 is unnecessary.

(Connection pattern P2)
As shown in FIG. 10, the interphone master 20 is connected to, for example, a lobby power supply 19 and is supplied with power from the lobby power supply 19.

(Connection pattern P3)
As shown in FIG. 11, the interphone master 20 is connected to, for example, a separate power supply 50 and is supplied with power from the separate power supply 50.

Next, the operation of the intercom system will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, when the intercom system is installed in the apartment house (step S10), energization of the intercom system is started and the entire intercom system is operated (step S11). At this time, various initial processes are performed in the shared device 10 of the interphone system, the interphone master unit 20, and the like. Moreover, when a voltage is first applied to each interphone master 20 of the interphone system, the master control unit 28 sets (selects) a construction threshold, and sets the construction threshold (condition A1-1 in the corresponding mode table). A2-1 and A3-1) are used for appropriate determination.

  In addition, when the interphone master unit 20 that performs power supply by the lobby power supply 19 is connected to the shared device 10, the mixing / separation unit 52 identifies the lobby power supply 19 from the communication unit 53 together with the power from the power supply unit 51. Output information.

  On the other hand, when the identification information of the lobby power supply 19 is input together with the power supply, the interphone master unit 20 is separated into the power and the identification information of the lobby power supply 19 by the mixing / separating unit 52, and the power is output to the power supply unit 62. Identification information of the lobby power supply 19 is output to the communication unit 63. Then, the power supply unit 62 supplies the power separated by the mixing / separating unit 61 to each unit in the interphone master unit 20. In addition, the communication unit 63 outputs the identification information of the lobby power supply 19 separated by the mixing / separating unit 61 to the parent device control unit 28.

  The base unit control unit 28 stores identification information of the lobby power supply 19. Next, base unit control unit 28 transmits the identification information of intercom base unit 20 itself to shared unit device 10 together with the stored identification information of lobby power supply 19. At this time, the base unit control unit 28 transmits the identification information of the lobby power supply 19 and the identification information of the interphone base unit 20 to the shared unit 10 via the communication unit 29, the branch line BL, the branch B, and the trunk line TL. Send.

  In the shared device 10, when the identification information of the lobby power supply 19 and the identification information of the interphone master 20 are received, the lobby controller 18 counts the interphone master 20 connected for each identification information of the lobby power supply 19. Thereby, it is possible to recognize how many interphone master units 20 are connected to the lobby power supply 19. The lobby control unit 18 displays the number of connected units on, for example, the dwelling unit number display unit 15 of the shared unit device 10 during a construction test, for example.

  When the identification information of the lobby power source 19 of the interphone master unit 20 is not input, the master unit control unit 28 displays that fact on the video display unit 21 of the interphone master unit 20.

As described above, the second embodiment has the following effects in addition to the effects (1) to (6) of the first embodiment.
(7) The intercom master unit 20 transmits its own identification information and the identification information of the lobby power supply 19 received from the lobby power supply 19 to the shared unit device 10 as a shared entrance machine. As a result, it is possible to confirm whether or not the interphone master 20 is connected on the shared device 10 side. Furthermore, it is possible to check the number of connections. For example, it is possible for the shared device 10 to recognize whether or not the number of connections is equal to or greater than a specified value.

  (8) The intercom base unit 20 performs notification based on the identification information of the lobby power supply 19 received from the lobby power supply 19. Specifically, it becomes possible to notify whether or not the intercom base unit 20 is connected to the shared device 10 and power can be supplied. This makes it possible to notify the installer whether or not the interphone master unit 20 is connected to the power source 19 by notification from the interphone master unit 20.

  (9) Furthermore, when the interphone master unit 20 has not received the identification information of the lobby power supply 19, the interphone master unit 20 notifies that the identification information has not been received. Also by this, for example, by notifying that the identification information has not been received, it is possible to notify the installer that power is not being supplied from the shared device.

  (10) The communication unit 53 of the shared unit device 10 transmits the identification information of the lobby power supply 19 to the intercom base unit 20 via the power supply line PSL. Thus, since communication can be performed using the power supply line PSL as a line, it is not necessary to lay another line.

In addition, you may change each said embodiment as follows.
In each of the above embodiments, the operation of the intercom base unit 20 is limited in a stepwise manner as the supply voltage decreases within a range equal to or less than the fail safe value, but the present invention is not limited to this. You may change suitably, such as a structure which restrict | limits to the restriction | limiting mode 3 at once, if it becomes below a fail safe value.

  In each of the above embodiments, the configuration has the three modes of the restriction modes 1 to 3, but other restriction modes (fail-safe operation) may be set. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, in addition to the function restriction in the restriction mode 3, the restriction mode 4 for prohibiting the volume or the alarm itself may be set for the function of making an alarm in conjunction with the fire alarm device 60.

  In addition, for example, in the fail-safe operation, when the fire alarm 60 detects a fire, the sound output unit 23 of the interphone master unit 20 outputs sound in conjunction with it, but the sound is output in conjunction with it. The configuration may be omitted.

  -In each said embodiment, although it was set as the structure which connects the fire alarm device 60 to the intercom main unit 20, it is not restricted to this, Even if the structure which cannot connect the fire alarm device 60 to the interphone main unit 20 is connected. Good.

  In each of the above embodiments, the video display unit 21, the volume switching button 24, and the brightness switching button 25 are configured separately, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, adopting a configuration that uses a touch panel, displays an image such as a volume switch or brightness switch button on the touch panel, and can switch the volume and brightness by pressing the image on the panel. Also good.

In the first embodiment, the two power sources 19 and 50 are used. However, the present invention can be similarly applied to a system in which three or more power sources are assumed to be connected.
-Although the communication part 53 of the said 2nd Embodiment was set as the structure which transmits the identification information of the lobby power supply 19 with electric power via the power supply line PSL, the communication line different from the power supply line PSL is separately laid, and the communication is carried out. You may employ | adopt the structure which transmits the identification information of the lobby power supply 19 using a line.

  -Although not specifically mentioned in the second embodiment, for example, when the number of interphone master units connected to the lobby power supply 19 exceeds a predetermined number (connection limit number determined by use, etc.), the fact is notified. A configuration may be adopted. The following can be considered as an example in this case. Moreover, configurations other than the following examples may be used.

(Example X1)
For example, the number of connected interphone master units 20 counted for each piece of identification information of the lobby power supply 19 is monitored in the lobby control unit 18 of the shared unit 10. When the number of connected devices exceeds the predetermined number, the shared unit device 10 (lobby control unit 18) notifies, for example, by voice from the voice output unit 13. Of course, notification by display or the like may be used.

(Example X2)
For example, the number of connected interphone master units 20 counted for each piece of identification information of the lobby power supply 19 is monitored in the lobby control unit 18 of the shared unit 10. Then, when the number of connected devices exceeds the predetermined number, the shared unit device 10 (lobby control unit 18) outputs to the interphone base unit 20, and the video display unit 21 and the audio output unit 23 of the interphone base unit 20 Inform the effect.

(Example X3)
For example, the lobby power supply 19 itself counts the number of connected interphone master units 20. When the number of connections exceeds the predetermined number, the lobby power supply 19 notifies the connection information to at least one of the shared device 10 (lobby control unit 18) and the interphone master unit 20. Then, at least one of the shared unit device 10 (lobby control unit 18) and the interphone master device 20 that has received the connection information notifies by voice from its own voice output units 13 and 23. Of course, notification by display or the like may be used.

  With such a configuration, it is possible to make the installer recognize the fact by notifying when the number of connected interphone master units 20 exceeds a predetermined number. As a result, excess power supply capacity of the lobby power supply 19 can be suppressed. In addition, by providing a display unit such as a monitor and informing, it is possible to make the installer easily recognize, for example, text or video.

  Although not specifically mentioned in the second embodiment, for example, the operation of the interphone master unit 20 may be switched according to the number of connected interphone master units 20 connected to the lobby power supply 19. The following can be considered as an example in this case. Moreover, configurations other than the following examples may be used.

(Example Y1)
For example, the number of connected interphone master units 20 counted for each piece of identification information of the lobby power supply 19 is monitored in the lobby control unit 18 of the shared unit 10. The lobby control unit 18 outputs number information indicating the number of connected devices to the interphone master 20 via the communication unit 17. In the intercom base unit 20, numerical information is input to the base unit control unit 28 via the communication unit 29. For example, as the number of connected units included in the number information increases, the parent device control unit 28 performs the operation restriction of the interphone parent device 20 in the order of restriction mode 1, restriction mode 2, restriction mode 3, and restriction mode 4.

  Thereby, the operation restriction of the interphone master unit can be implemented according to the number of interphone master units connected to the power source. As an example, for example, when the number of interphone master units connected to the power supply is large, the interphone master unit can be operated in a low power consumption mode in which power consumption is lower than usual.

  -In the said 2nd Embodiment and said each modification, it was set as the structure alert | reported by the shared part apparatus 10 or the intercom main unit 20, but it is not restricted to this. For example, it is good also as a structure which notifies various information with respect to the other terminal connected with at least one of the shared part apparatus 10 and the intercom main | base station 20 by wire or wireless. Examples of other terminals include, but are not limited to, smartphones, tablet terminals, televisions, and dedicated terminals.
