  FIG. 3 is an internal block configuration diagram of the handset 2, wherein 201 is a video processing unit that processes a video signal captured by the video camera 202, 202 is a video camera that captures a visitor, and 203 is guidance information for the visitor. , A display unit such as an LCD, 204 is a master unit interface connected to the master unit 1, 205 is a human detection sensor (for example, an infrared sensor) that detects the presence of a person in the vicinity, and 206 is pressed when a visitor visits A call button, 207 is a microphone for inputting the voice of the visitor, 208 is a speaker for delivering the voice to the visitor, and 209 is a numeric keypad operated by the visitor.

  FIG. 4 is an operation flowchart of base unit 1. Hereinafter, the operation of the base unit 1 and the operation of the entire door phone system will be described with reference to FIGS. This flow starts from a state where the power of the base unit 1 is turned on (S400).

  If the absence mode is not activated (S401, NO), the main control unit 101 controls the call control unit 104, and the master unit 1 operates as a normal door phone (S402). A detailed description of the operation as this normal door phone will be omitted. The absence mode is switched by the resident operating the operation unit 117 when going out.

  When the absence mode is activated (S401, YES), the main control unit 101 monitors the human detection sensor reception unit 112, and if no human detection information is received from the slave unit 2 (S403, NO), Return to S401.

  When the human detection information is received from the slave unit 2 (S403, YES), the slave unit 2 is controlled to start the video camera 202 included in the slave unit, and the video data stored by the video camera 202 capturing the visitor is stored as video data. The data is stored in the unit 114 (S404). Then, the process proceeds to S410 and waits for the call button to be pressed. Although not expressed in this flow, video data for a certain period (for example, several days) captured by the video camera 202 may be always stored in the video data storage unit 114.

  When the call button reception unit 111 receives that the visitor has pressed the call button 206 (S410, YES), the main control unit 101 automatically responds to the call and is registered in the guidance information registration unit 107 in advance. Guidance information (for example, “Please enter your contact phone number or voice message according to the guidance”) is sent to the handset 2 (S412), and the handset 2 displays this guidance information on the display unit 203. Or from the speaker 208. This guidance information may be either audio data or display data.

  Then, according to the guidance information, the visitor operates the numeric keypad 209 of the handset 2 to contact a telephone number (for example, the telephone number of the contact office when the visitor is a courier) or a microphone 207. When a message (for example, “Please inform us of a convenient date and time”) is received via the handset interface 110 (S420, YES), the e-mail generating unit 105 receives the received contact telephone number. Or a voice message including a voice message is generated, and the report destination 4 registered in the report destination registration unit 108 via the communication control unit 115 and the network 3 (for example, a mobile phone with an electronic mail function possessed by a resident of the destination) (S422), and the process returns to S401.

  Note that the transmission of the voice message by the message mail is performed by accumulating the voice message received from the slave unit 2 via the slave unit interface 110 and the call control unit 104 in the voice data storage unit 106 and making it into a file. You can attach a voice message filed to the message mail generated by. The received contact telephone number may be inserted into the title of the message mail or the mail text.

  This completes the description of the flow for responding to normal visitors in the absence mode. Hereinafter, a response flow to a suspicious visitor in the absence mode will be described.

  When the call button receiving unit 111 does not receive that the visitor has pressed the call button 206 in S410 (S410, NO), and a certain time (for example, 3 minutes) has elapsed in the time measurement by the timer management unit 109 (S411, S411) YES), the main control unit 101 determines that the suspicious person is scolding the house if he does not press the call button 206 while standing in front of the house.

  Then, the e-mail generation unit 105 generates an alarm mail including the video data received from the slave unit 2, and the report destination 4 (for example, registered in the report destination registration unit 108 via the communication control unit 115 and the network 3). Then, the information is transmitted to a contracted security company or mobile phone with video playback function possessed by a resident of the destination (S430), and the process returns to S401.

  This warning e-mail alerts the existence of a suspicious visitor, and a typical warning message to that effect (for example, “There is a suspicious person who seems to have beaten the house”) in the title or e-mail body. Inserted.

  Next, when a fixed time (for example, 3 minutes) has elapsed in the time measurement by the timer management unit 109 without receiving a contact telephone number or voice message to be input by the visitor (S420, NO) in S420 (S421) , YES), the main control unit 101 has pressed the call button 206 but does not input a contact telephone number or voice message. The process of S430 described above is executed. Note that the warning text in this case may be a fixed phrase such as “There is a possibility that a thief is aiming at the absence home”, and these fixed phrases are accumulated in the e-mail generation unit 105. (Not shown).

  By the way, the video camera 202 of the child device 2 is activated when the human detection sensor 205 detects the presence of a person in the vicinity, and even if the visitor does not press the call button 206, the state of the visitor is as follows. An image is being taken.

  In addition, the video data transmitted by the alarm mail is encoded and filed as video data received from the slave unit 2 via the slave unit interface 110 and the video data transmission / reception conversion unit 113, and stored in the video data storage unit 114. The filed video data may be attached to the message mail generated by the electronic mail generation unit 105. Alternatively, the encoded video data may be transmitted in real time as stream data to the video receiver (not shown) of the report destination 4 via the main control unit 101, the communication control unit 115, and the network 3. .

  The embodiment of the present invention has been described above. According to this embodiment, there is an advantage that a message from a visitor can be confirmed at a convenient time for a resident at the destination. In addition, visitors have the advantage of being able to flexibly leave a contact phone number and voice message that conveys the business without complicated operations.

  For example, if a courier company visits you while you are away, let the courier company you visit enter your business and contact information, and forward the information by e-mail to your mobile phone. The date and time can be negotiated.
