DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0009] Embodiment 1 The terminal for the unmanned reception system according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 15. FIG. The terminal unit for the unmanned reception system in embodiment 1 is installed on the entrance floor of an office or the like, and when used as a free-standing floor-mounted type installed on the floor of a building, it comprises four parts: a panel computer 10, a support 20, a base 30, and a mounting body 40, and is assembled using these four parts.
[0010] The panel computer 10 is detachably attached to the support 20 by a separation mechanism. That is, the bottom surface of the panel computer 10 and the mounting surface of the support 20 are joined together, and the panel computer 10 can be attached to the support 20 in an easy manner. The support surface of the support pillar is a flat surface located at the upper end and has a horizontal surface. The support 20 is detachably attached to the base 30 by a mounting body 40 using a separation mechanism. The lower part of the support 20 and the surface of the base 30 are fixed to each other by a mounting body 40 so as to be easily attached and detached.
[0011] When the assembly of panel computer 10 and support pole 20 is attached to base 30 by mounting body 40, the vertical center of gravity of the assembly of panel computer 10 and support pole 20 is located within base 30. Therefore, when the assembly of panel computer 10 and support pole 20 is attached to base 30, the terminal for the unmanned reception system can be installed independently on the floor of the building. The mounting body 40 also serves to lower the center of gravity of the assembly of the panel computer 10 and the support column 20, and functions to prevent the terminal for the unmanned reception system from falling over. Therefore, the layout of the terminal for the unmanned reception system according to the first embodiment is flexible.
[0012] The panel computer 10 integrates electrical functions required as a terminal for an unmanned reception system. By attaching the mounting body 40 to the back of the panel computer 10 and placing the bottom of the panel computer 10 in contact with the table surface of the reception desk, the panel computer 10 itself can be used as a desktop terminal for an unmanned reception system.
[0013] The mounting body 40 allows the panel computer 10 to stand on its own and functions to prevent the panel computer 10 from falling over when used as a terminal for an unmanned reception system. Therefore, it can be used as either a freestanding floor type or a tabletop type, and can be installed regardless of the type of reception desk.
[0014] The panel computer 10 comprises a panel computer main body 11 , a camera 12 , a handset 13 , a speaker 14 , a base 15 and a standing body 16 . The panel computer main body 11 includes a touch panel 11a and a CPU (Central Processing Unit) (not shown), and includes the components of a commonly known panel computer. The touch panel 11a is used in portrait orientation.
[0015] The touch panel 11a displays an initial screen (start screen), a screen based on the visitor's operation, and the like. Screens based on the visitor's operations include, for example, an organization selection screen, a search method selection screen for selecting a search method, a department search screen for touching the department of the person to be called, a department search screen for touching the name of the person to be called, and a call screen.
[0016] A camera with a motion sensor function (hereinafter, abbreviated as camera) 12 captures an image of the area in front of the screen of the touch panel 11a, and when a visitor approaches, it responds by transmitting a visitor signal to the panel computer main body 11 to notify the visitor of the visitor's arrival. When the panel computer main body 11 receives the visit signal from the camera 12, it activates the touch panel 11a and displays an initial screen on the touch panel 11a.
[0017] When the panel computer main body 11 receives a visitor signal from the camera 12, it causes the speaker 14 to issue an initial announcement to the visitor. The visitor selects the person to be visited using the touch panel, and the visitor uses the handset 13 to talk to the selected person. Instead of using the handset 13 for telephone conversation, the touch panel 11a may be used to connect to a LAN, and a call may be made by chat or the like, using a microphone and speaker 14 for telephone conversation. In this case, the handset 13 is not necessary, and the microphone may be built into the base.
[0018] As shown in FIG. 9, the base 15 has a flat surface 15a on the bottom surface, and has a pair of engaged portions 15b, 15c, a pair of screw holes 15d, 15e, and a wiring hole 15g for a power cord (not shown) and a LAN cable (not shown) etc. Each of the pair of engaged portions 15b, 15c is an elongated hole that is long in the front-rear direction. The cables inserted into the power connector, LAN connector, and other connectors provided on the panel computer main body 11 are bundled with cable clips and led out of the panel computer 10 through the wiring hole 15g.
[0019] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 7, the base 15 has a receiver storage section 15f having an opening on the front upper surface of the base 15. In addition, when the configuration is such that the device is connected to a LAN for making calls such as chatting, a handset is not necessary, and the handset storage section 15f is not formed on the front upper surface of the base 15, and the front upper surface of the base 15 is made flat. The base 15 has a speaker 14 disposed therein. The base 15 has, for example, a front panel, a top panel, a bottom panel, and a pair of side panels.
[0020] The standing body 16 is erected rearward from the rear of the base 15 at an angle of 25 degrees with respect to a vertical plane in the left-right direction, and has a storage section 16a having a vertically long opening on the front side, front A camera window 16b is formed at the top. The panel computer main body 11 is stored in the storage section 16a of the upright body 16 with the screen of the touch panel 11a positioned in the opening thereof.
[0021] The panel computer main body 11 is stored in the opening of the storage section 16a of the standing body 16 with the touch panel 11a oriented vertically. The screen of touch panel 11a is tilted backward at an angle of 25 degrees with respect to the vertical plane in the left-right direction, making it easy for visitors to see and touch the screen.
[0022] The standing body 16 has a frame body 16A and a back cover 16B. Frame body 16A has a pair of side frames that are integrally erected rearward from the rear of a pair of side panels of base 15, a lower frame that connects the lower ends of the pair of side frames and extends from the rear end of the front panel of base 15, and an upper frame that connects the upper ends of the pair of side frames (see Figure 7 in particular).
[0023] A camera window 16b is formed in the center of the upper frame of the frame body 16A in the left-right direction. A lens may be built into the camera window 16b. The front panel, top panel, bottom panel and pair of side panels of the frame body 16A and base 15 of the standing body 16 are formed by press working or the like.
[0024] The rear cover 16B is in the shape of a square plate having flanges on both sides. The flanges on both sides of the rear cover 16B are brought into close contact with the pair of side frames of the frame body 16A, respectively, and secured in place by screws 101-104, thereby attaching the rear cover 16B to the frame body 16A.
[0025] The rear cover 16B has a pair of screw holes 16Ba, 16Bb arranged side by side in the vertical direction in the center in the horizontal direction. The pair of screw holes 16Ba, 16Bb are used to attach the mounting body 40 when used as a tabletop terminal for an unmanned reception system.
[0026] The space formed by the frame body 16A and the rear cover 16B forms a storage section 16a in the standing body 16 having a vertically long opening. The area surrounded by the frame body 16A of the standing body 16 forms the opening of the storage section 16a. The lower part of the rear cover 16B also covers the rear surface of the base 15.
[0027] The lower part of one side of the rear cover 16B is opened, and a connector cover 16C that covers this opening is removably attached to the rear cover 16B. By removing the connector cover 16C from the rear cover 16B, the LAN connector, USB connector, power connector, contact output terminal 1, contact output terminal 2, and telephone line connector provided on the panel computer main body 11 are exposed.
[0028] When used as a floor-standing, unmanned reception system terminal, the connector cover 16C is attached to the rear cover 16B. When used as a tabletop terminal for an unmanned reception system, the connector cover 16C is also attached to the rear cover 16B.
[0029] As shown particularly in Figures 10 and 11, the support 20 has a flat surface 20a on the upper surface, and a pair of engaging portions 20b, 20c on the upper surface that engage with a pair of engaged portions 15b, 15c of the base 15 in the panel computer 10, and extends downward and rearward from the flat surface 20a on the upper surface at an angle of less than 25 degrees with respect to the vertical plane in the left-right direction.
[0030] The pair of engaging portions 20b, 20c are claws or hooks that are inserted into the elongated holes of the pair of engaged portions 15b, 15c, respectively. The panel computer 10 is temporarily fixed to the upper surface of the support 20 by a pair of engaging portions 20b, 20c and a pair of engaged portions 15b, 15c, and then the flat surface 15a on the underside of the base 15 of the panel computer 10 is tightly fitted to the flat surface 20a on the upper surface of the support 20 and fixed in place with screws.
[0031] The distance from the bottom to the top of the support pillar 20 is longer than the distance from the bottom to the top of the panel computer 10, and when the panel computer 10 is attached to the support pillar 20, the screen of the touch panel 11a of the panel computer 10 is positioned at a height that is easy for visitors to see. That is, the support 20 supports the panel computer 10 and ensures the height of the panel computer 10 .
[0032] As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the support pillar 20 has a shape in which the width tapers from the upper end to the lower end. The width of the upper end of the support column 20 is the same as the width of the lower end of the panel computer 10 . That is, the width of the base 15 and the width of the standing body 16 in the panel computer 10 are the same as the width of the upper surface of the support 20.
[0033] As shown in Figs. 10 and 11, the support 20 has a support body 20A, a reinforcing body 20B, and an upper rear cover body 20C. The support body 20A has a front panel 20A1 and a rear panel 20A2. The front panel 20A1 has a front plate portion, both side plate portions and a top plate portion, and is formed by pressing or the like.
[0034] The upper plate portion of the front panel 20A1 has a flat surface 20a on its upper surface, and the upper surface has a pair of engaging portions 20b, 20c that engage with a pair of engaged portions 15b, 15c formed on the bottom surface of the base 15 of the panel computer 10, round holes 20d, 20e that face a pair of screw holes 15d, 15e formed in the bottom surface of the base 15, and a wiring hole 20f that faces a wiring hole 15g formed in the bottom surface of the base 15.
[0035] The upper plate portion of the front panel 20A1 is bent at an interior angle greater than 75 degrees and less than 90 degrees with respect to the surface plate portion. As a result, in the front panel 20A1, the support 20 can be attached to the base 30 so that the flat surface 20a of the upper plate portion is a horizontal plane and the surface of the front plate portion extends downward and rearward from the flat surface 20a of the upper plate portion at an angle of less than 25 degrees with respect to the vertical plane in the left-right direction. Similarly, the flat surface 20a of the upper plate portion is set as a horizontal plane, and the rear surface of the rear panel 20A2 is attached downward and rearward at an angle of less than 25 degrees to the vertical plane in the left-right direction.
[0036] The side plate portions of the front panel 20A1 are formed so as to extend rearward from both side ends of the front plate portion, respectively. Each of the two side plate portions of the front panel 20A1 has corner portions that taper downward from both side ends of the flat surface 20a of the upper plate portion, side portions of the same width from the lower ends of the corners to the lower end of the front panel 20A1, and edges that are bent inwardly from the side ends of the side portions. The rear panel 20A2 covers the rear surface of the front panel 20A1, and is secured at both side ends to the edges of both side plate portions of the front panel 20A1 with screws 105-110.
[0037] The reinforcing member 20B has a pair of side plates 20B1 and 20B2 and a back plate 20B3. Each of the pair of side plates 20B1, 20B2 has a side portion and a front edge portion and a rear edge portion that are bent inwardly at both ends of the side portion. The pair of side panels 20B1, 20B2 are disposed facing each other with their front and rear edges inward, and are attached at their front edges to the center of the rear panel 20A2 by screws.
[0038] The pair of side plates 20B1, 20B2 each have a pair of screw holes 20B1a, 20B1b, 20B2a, 20B2b arranged in parallel in the vertical direction at the lower end thereof. A pair of screw holes 20B1a, 20B1b, 20B2a, and 20B2b in each of the pair of side plates 20B1, 20B2 are used when the support 20 is attached to the base 30 by the mounting body 40.
[0039] The lower end surfaces of the sides of the pair of side plates 20B1, 20B2 each have an interior angle with respect to the front edge that is greater than 90 degrees and less than 115 degrees, and an interior angle with respect to the rear edge that is greater than 75 degrees and less than 90 degrees. When the lower end surfaces of the sides of the pair of side plates 20B1, 20B2 are brought into close contact with the base 30, the upper end is forward of the lower end at an angle of less than 25 degrees relative to the vertical plane in the left-right direction, allowing the support 20 to be easily attached to the base 30.
[0040] The rear plate 20B3 covers the space formed by the pair of side plates 20B1, 20B2 and the rear surface of the rear panel 20A2, and is secured at both side ends to the rear edges of the pair of side plates 20B1, 20B2 with screws 111-116, respectively. The length of the back plate 20B3 is shorter than the length of the pair of side plates 20B1, 20B2, so that the spaces at the lower ends of the pair of side plates 20B1, 20B2 are exposed.
[0041] The space formed by the pair of side plates 20B1, 20B2, the rear plate 20B3, and the rear surface of the rear panel 20A2 is a space through which wiring such as a power cord (not shown) and a LAN cable (not shown) connected to the panel computer main body 11 is inserted.

The mounting body 40 is detachably attached to the support 20 by a separation mechanism.
[0060] Next, the assembly of the panel computer 10 with the mounting body 40 attached and the support pole 20 is fixed to a base. That is, a plurality of screw holes 44a, 44b, 44c formed in a bottom surface portion 44 of the mounting body 40 and a plurality of countersunk holes 31a, 31b, 31c formed in the base 30 are aligned. The multiple screw holes 45 a , 45 b , and 45 c formed in the bottom surface portion 45 of the mounting body 40 and the multiple countersunk holes 32 a , 32 b , and 32 c formed in the base 30 are aligned.
[0061] At this time, the bottom surfaces of the pair of bottom portions 44 , 45 of the mounting body 40 and the lower surfaces of the pair of side plates 20 B 1 , B 2 of the reinforcing body 20 B of the support 20 are brought into close contact with the surface of the base 30 . Additionally, wiring hole 30a formed in base 30 communicates with a space formed by the pair of side plates 20B1, 20B2, rear plate 20B3, and the rear surface of rear panel 20A2.

The mounting body 40 is detachably attached to the panel computer 10 by a separation mechanism.
[0071] When the panel computer 10 with the mounting body 40 attached is placed in contact with the table surface of the reception desk, the inclination of the panel computer 10 relative to the table surface of the reception desk, that is, the inclination of the back of the rear cover 16B of the standing body 16 in the panel computer 10 relative to the table surface of the reception desk, and the inclination of the sloped portion 43 of the mounting body 40 relative to the table surface of the reception desk are the same, so that the mounting body 40 functions as a rear stand for the panel computer 10, and even when the panel computer 10 is placed on the table of the reception desk, it is stable as a desktop terminal for an unmanned reception system, is resistant to forces applied in the front, back, left and right directions, and is not likely to tip over.
[0072] As described above, the panel computer 10 is removably attached to the support 20 by a separation mechanism, the support 20 is removably attached to the base 30 by a separation mechanism, the mounting body 40 is removably attached to the support 20 by a separation mechanism, and the mounting body 40 is removably attached to the panel computer 10 by a separation mechanism.
