  • Publication number: 20220294909
    Abstract: A multiple dwelling house interphone system includes a collective entrance machine, a dwelling room master device, and a management master device. The collective entrance machine is for calling a visit destination by a visitor. The dwelling room master device is for responding to the call by a dweller. The management master device is for speaking with the dweller by a manager. The management master device includes a speech permissibility storage section and a speech control section. The speech permissibility storage section registers a permissibility of calling and speaking to the dwelling room master device for each dwelling unit. The speech control section controls the calling and speaking. The speech control section does not perform the calling control when a calling operation by the management master device is performed towards the dwelling room master device of a dwelling unit registered as “unpermitted” in the speech permissibility storage section.

  • Publication number: 20220286563
    Abstract: A multiple dwelling house interphone system include a collective entrance machine, a dwelling room master device, a management master device, and a sensor. When the sensor detects the occurrence of the abnormality, an abnormality occurrence signal is transmitted from the dwelling room master device to the management master device, and the dwelling room master device and the management master device emit emergency alarms. The management master device includes a display section and a display control section. The display control section displays an alarm stop button to stop an emission operation on the display section when the abnormality occurrence signal is received and the emission is started. When the alarm stop button is operated, the display control section subsequently displays an emission source call button to call the dwelling room master device as a transmission source of the abnormality occurrence signal.

  • Publication number: 20220286559
    Abstract: A multiple dwelling house interphone system includes a collective entrance machine, a dwelling room master device, and a management master device. The management master device is installed in a manager room to speak with the visitor or the dweller. The multiple dwelling house interphone system has a reception mode in which a call to any dwelling unit from the collective entrance machine is uniformly transmitted to the management master device. The management master device includes a forwarding button and a forwarding control section. The forwarding button re-forwards a call in the reception mode to an original calling destination. The forwarding control section re-forwards the call to the dwelling room master device of a dwelling unit as the original calling destination when the forwarding button is operated when a speech path is formed with the collective entrance machine in response to the call forwarded in the reception mode.

  • Patent number: 10944940
    Abstract: An intercom system for collective housing comprises a main entrance station with a camera, a residential entrance substation with a camera and a residential master station for each residence in the housing, a storage unit that stores videos (V1) of visitors shot by the camera of the main entrance station by associating the videos with residence IDs of the respective residences to visit, and a control unit. The control unit includes a check unit that checks the videos (V1) against a video (V2) shot by the camera of a residential entrance substation. If the check by the check unit indicates a match, the control unit compares the residence ID associated with the match stored in the storage unit with that of the residence in which a call button of the residential entrance substation has been operated. The operation of the call button is invalidated if the IDs are different.
