[0012] The embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The embodiments described below are merely examples, and this disclosure is not limited to these embodiments. Furthermore, it is intended from the outset that the multiple embodiments and modifications described below may be selectively combined.

[0013] The main body of the apparatus and system of the present disclosure comprises a computer. The functions of the main body of the apparatus and system of the present disclosure are implemented when the computer executes a program. The computer comprises, as a main hardware configuration, a processor that operates in accordance with a program. The type of the processor is not limited as long as the processor can implement the above functions by executing the program. The processor is constituted of one or more electronic circuits including an integrated circuit (IC) or a large-scale integrated circuit (LSI). A plurality of electronic circuits may be integrated into a single chip, or may be provided on a plurality of chips. A plurality of chips may be aggregated into a single apparatus, or may be comprised in a plurality of apparatuses. Further, the program is stored in a non-transitory storage medium readable by the computer, such as a ROM, an optical disk, or a hard disk drive. The program may be stored in advance on a storage medium, or may be supplied to the storage medium via a wide-area communication network including the Internet or the like.

[0014] First, an outline of intercom system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing the configuration of intercom system 1 including information terminal 20 of the present embodiment. In the example shown in FIG. 1, intercom system 1 is installed in a collective facility where dwelling units as facilities are collected. Note that the collective facility to which intercom system 1 is applied is not limited to collective housing such as condominiums, dormitories, and company housing, and may be a facility constituted by a collection of a plurality of facilities (a plurality of companies, sections, departments, etc.) such as offices, factories, research facilities, medical facilities, and accommodation facilities. Information terminal 20 according to the present disclosure may be installed in a detached house.

[0015] Intercom system 1 comprises a lobby intercom 10 provided in a lobby that is a common area, a plurality of information terminals 20 and entrance intercoms 22 provided in each dwelling unit that is a private area, and a control device 30 that controls these devices.

[0016] A lobby intercom 10 is used by visitors including delivery couriers to call each individual dwelling unit. A visitor can input the destination dwelling unit into the lobby intercom 10 to place a call. The lobby is also provided with an automatic door 13 and a lock device 14 that locks the automatic door 13. The lock device 14 is, for example, an automatic locking device that automatically locks the automatic door 13 when the automatic door 13 closes, and activates an electric lock attached to the automatic door 13 under the control of a control device 30. In normal conditions, the automatic door 13 is basically in a locked state. Note that the lobby intercom 10 is communicatively connected to an information terminal 20 and the control device 30.

[0017] The lobby intercom 10 is installed outside the automatic door 13 of the lobby. Therefore, for a visitor to enter inside beyond the automatic door 13 of the collective facility, the visitor needs to call the destination dwelling unit via the lobby intercom 10 and have the resident of the dwelling unit unlock the electric lock of the automatic door 13. The resident can confirm the visitor via the information terminal 20 and operate the information terminal 20 to unlock the electric lock.

[0018] In the example shown in FIG. 1, a non-contact key detection device 12 is installed in the lobby. Similarly to the lobby intercom 10, the non-contact key detection device 12 is installed outside the automatic door 13 of the lobby. The non-contact key detection device 12 is configured by, for example, an IC card reader, and transmits a door unlock signal to the lock device 14 when detecting a pre-registered card key. This unlocks the electric lock and opens the automatic door 13. Card keys are owned by residents and the like. Note that the lobby intercom 10 may incorporate the non-contact key detection device 12.

[0019] Each individual dwelling unit is provided with an information terminal 20 and an entrance intercom 22. The information terminal 20 is installed inside each individual dwelling unit, and the entrance intercom 22 is installed outside each individual dwelling unit. The entrance intercom 22 is generally installed near the entrance of each individual dwelling unit. Each individual dwelling unit may be provided with, for example, a sub-information terminal communicatively connected to the entrance intercom 22 via the information terminal 20.

[0020] The information terminal 20 is connected to the entrance intercom 22 for communication and is also connected to the lobby intercom 10 and control device 30 via the branching connector 16 for communication. Residents can communicate with visitors via the lobby intercom 10 using the information terminal 20 and view the visitor's image. When a resident operates the information terminal 20, an unlocking signal is output from the information terminal 20, the automatic door 13 is unlocked, and the visitor can enter the building. In addition, residents can communicate with visitors via the entrance intercom 22 using the information terminal 20, and if the entrance intercom 22 has a camera, they can view the visitor's image.

[0021] The entrance intercom 22 is equipped with a call button 22a for calling the information terminal 20. The entrance intercom 22 also includes a microphone and a speaker, similar to the lobby intercom 10. The entrance intercom 22 may also be equipped with a camera. If the entrance intercom 22 is equipped with a camera, when the call button 22a is operated, the information terminal 20 is called, and the visitor is photographed by the camera on the entrance intercom 22, with the image displayed on the monitor of the information terminal 20. The information terminal 20 may also be equipped with a function to record the visitor's image.

[0022] The control device 30 includes, for example, a processor that performs calculation processing for controlling the intercom system 1, and a memory in which control programs and the like are stored. The control device 30 is composed of a computer including a processor. The memory is composed of, for example, RAM, ROM, hard disk, etc., and is built into the computer including the processor. The control device 30 may be composed of one computer or multiple computers.

[0023] As described above, the control device 30 is communicatively connected to the lobby intercom 10 in the lobby and the information terminals 20 in each dwelling unit, and has the function of controlling these devices. The control device 30 is also communicatively connected to the management office master unit 15 in the management room. The management office master unit 15 can, for example, transmit various information to the lobby intercom 10 and the multiple information terminals 20 via the control device 30.

[0024] In the example shown in Figure 1, multiple storage rooms 40 are connected to the intercom system 1, and a dedicated storage room 40 is installed for each dwelling unit. Each storage room 40 includes a receiving room for storing luggage, a door for opening and closing the receiving room, and a door locking mechanism. The storage rooms 40 are installed, for example, in the common area around the dwelling unit and are used by residents, who are the recipients of packages, to receive packages from delivery personnel such as courier companies in a non-face-to-face manner. The doors of the storage rooms 40 are locked not only after the packages are received, but also before the packages are received. This prevents items other than delivered items from being stored in the storage rooms 40 due to vandalism, etc., and ensures good security. In this embodiment, the storage rooms 40 are directly connected to the information terminal 20, but the example is not limited to this, and the storage rooms 40 may be connected to the information terminal 20 via the control device 30.

[0025] The delivery person, for example, uses the entrance intercom 22 to call the resident and asks the resident to output an unlocking signal from the information terminal 20 to unlock the storage room 40. The delivery person, for example, operates a monitor installed in the storage room 40 to unlock the storage room 40 and places the package inside. After that, the storage room 40 is automatically locked when the delivery person closes the door. Alternatively, the resident may directly unlock the storage room 40 by operating the information terminal 20. Furthermore, the storage device that communicates with the information terminal 20 is not limited to a storage room, but may also be a delivery box.

[0026] Next, the information terminal 20 will be described with reference to Figures 2 and 3. Figure 2 is a front view of the information terminal 20, which is an example of an embodiment, and Figure 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the information terminal 20, which is an example of an embodiment.

[0027] As shown in Figure 2, the information terminal 20 includes, for example, a call button 50, an end button 51, a monitor 52, a speaker 54, and a microphone 55.

[0028] The information terminal 20 has an intercom function that allows communication with an entrance intercom 22 located outside the facility. Visitors to the facility can call the information terminal 20 inside the facility by, for example, operating the entrance intercom 22. A resident who receives a call inside the facility can start a conversation with the visitor by pressing the call button 50 and end the conversation by pressing the end button 51. The call button 50 is a physical button for starting a conversation with the entrance intercom 22, and the end button 51 is a physical button for ending a conversation with the entrance intercom 22.

[0029] The monitor 52 displays an image of the visitor who called the resident using the lobby intercom 10. If the entrance intercom 22 has a camera, the monitor 52 displays an image of the visitor who called the resident using the entrance intercom 22. The monitor 52 is a touch panel, and by touching the function buttons 53 displayed on the monitor 52, the screen displayed on the monitor 52 can be switched, and various settings can be adjusted. The size and arrangement of the function buttons 53 are not limited to the example shown in Figure 2. For example, when the screen displayed on the monitor 52 is switched, the size, arrangement, and type of the displayed function buttons 53 will change.

[0030] The speaker 54 and microphone 55 are used, for example, for a visitor to communicate with a resident inside the facility via the entrance intercom 22. The speaker 54 outputs a ringing tone and the voice of the visitor directed towards the entrance intercom 22. The resident's voice is picked up by the microphone 55 and transmitted to the entrance intercom 22, allowing the visitor to converse with the resident inside the facility.

[0031] The information terminal 20 may have the configuration shown in the block diagram of Figure 3. The information terminal 20 includes, for example, a processor 61 that performs calculation processing to control the information terminal 20, and a memory 62 in which control programs and the like are stored. The information terminal 20 is composed of a computer including the processor 61. The memory 62 is composed of, for example, RAM, ROM, hard disk, etc., and is built into the computer including the processor 61. The information terminal 20 may be composed of one computer or multiple computers.

[0032] The information terminal 20 includes, for example, a display unit 65 and a communication unit 66. In this disclosure, the display unit 65 is a monitor 52. The display unit 65 notifies the resident, for example, that there is a call from a visitor. The display unit 65 also displays function buttons 53 and provides an interface for the resident to perform various operations. The communication unit 66 communicates with the entrance intercom 22 and the storage room 40, which are located outside the facility. Between the communication unit 66 and the entrance intercom 22, for example, conversations between visitors and residents are transmitted and received. The communication unit 66 transmits, for example, an unlocking signal to the storage room 40 and receives information from the storage room 40 regarding the locking status of the door and information regarding the arrival of goods.

[0033] The processor 61 realizes the functions of the information terminal 20 by reading and executing the control program installed in the memory 62. Specifically, the control program installed in the memory 62 includes a program for the display method that the information terminal 20 will execute.

[0034] Next, the display method of the information terminal 20 will be explained with reference to Figures 4A to 11. Figures 4A to 10 are examples of screens displayed on the display unit 65 of the information terminal 20, and Figure 11 is a sequence diagram showing the flow of operations between the information terminal 20 and the trunk room 40.

[0035] Figure 4A shows an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 65 of the information terminal 20 when the entrance intercom 22 is equipped with an imaging unit such as a camera. The imaging unit of the entrance intercom 22 photographs the visitor, and the image is displayed on the display unit 65 of the information terminal 20. In this case, a first operation area 53a for unlocking the storage room 40 is displayed on the display unit 65 when there is a call from the entrance intercom 22 and when there is a conversation with the entrance intercom 22. That is, the resident can output an unlock signal for the storage room 40 by touching the first operation area 53a even before responding to the call from the entrance intercom 22. When the entrance intercom 22 has an imaging unit, the resident can confirm the visitor by image and decide whether or not to unlock the storage room 40 before responding to the call, so the first operation area 53a is displayed from the call state.

[0036] Figure 4B shows an example of the screen displayed on the display unit 65 of the information terminal 20 when the entrance intercom 22 does not have an imaging unit such as a camera. The display unit 65 of the information terminal 20 displays an image indicating that there is a call with the entrance intercom 22 and the words "Call in Progress". In this case, the first operation area 53a is not displayed on the display unit 65 when there is a call from the entrance intercom 22, and the first operation area 53a is displayed on the display unit 65 when there is a call with the entrance intercom 22. That is, the resident can output an unlock signal for the storage room 40 by touching the first operation area 53a after entering a call with the entrance intercom 22. If the entrance intercom 22 has an imaging unit, the resident cannot confirm the visitor by image and cannot decide whether or not to unlock the storage room 40 before responding to the call, so the first operation area 53a is displayed from the call state.

[0037] As described above, once a resident can decide whether or not to unlock the storage room 40 for a visitor, the first operation area 53a for unlocking the storage room 40 is displayed on the display unit 65, thereby ensuring good security for the storage room 40. The first operation area 53a, as well as the second operation area 53b, third operation area 53c, and fourth operation area described later, are included in the function button 53.

[0038] Figure 5 shows an example of the home screen displayed on the display unit 65 of the information terminal 20. The home screen is the basic screen used when using the information terminal 20, and displays function buttons and other elements to enable the use of the information terminal 20's functions. The home screen is, for example, the screen displayed on the display unit 65 when the information terminal is turned on.

[0039] The home screen shown in Figure 5 displays a second operation area 53b, a confirmation icon 70, and a settings button 72. The second operation area 53b is a function button 53 for locking or unlocking the trunk room 40. The confirmation icon 70 indicates the locked or unlocked state of the trunk room 40 in states other than call and conversation states. The settings button 72 is used to configure various settings of the information terminal 20.

[0040] In this embodiment, when a resident touches the second operation area 53b in Figure 5, the screen shown in Figure 6 is displayed on the display unit 65. Figure 6 is an example of a screen for operating various devices, including the storage room 40. Figure 6 shows the third operation area 53c for unlocking the storage room 40. When a resident touches the third operation area 53c in Figure 6, an unlock signal is output from the information terminal 20 to the storage room 40. Upon receiving the unlock signal, the storage room 40 becomes unlockable. The door of the storage room 40 may be unlocked by the unlock signal, or the door of the storage room 40 may be unlocked by a delivery person performing an unlock operation. If the storage room 40 is already unlocked, a fourth operation area for locking the storage room 40 may be displayed in place of the third operation area 53c in Figure 6.

[0041] The confirmation icons 70 shown in Figures 5 and 6 allow residents to know the status of the storage room 40 even when there is no call or call in progress. In the example shown in Figure 5, the confirmation icon 70 indicates that the room is locked by displaying an illustration of a closed padlock. In the example shown in Figure 6, the confirmation icon 70 indicates that the room is locked by displaying an illustration of a closed padlock and the words "Locked". The form of the confirmation icon 70 is not limited to these examples, and the status of the storage room 40 may be indicated by text alone. The background color of the confirmation icon 70 may also be changed depending on whether the room is locked or unlocked. For example, the background color of the confirmation icon 70 when the room is locked may be blue or green, and the background color of the confirmation icon 70 when the room is unlocked may be red or orange.

[0042] In this embodiment, when a resident touches the setting button 72 in Figure 5, the screen displayed on the display unit 65 switches to a screen for checking and changing the settings of the information terminal 20 (hereinafter referred to as the setting screen). For example, if there are multiple setting screens for the information terminal 20, the setting screen can be switched by operating the function button 53 displayed on the display unit 65.

[0043] The information terminal 20 may display a selection screen on the display unit 65 for selecting either a storage room or a delivery box. The connection configuration between the information terminal 20 and the storage room 40 will be described below with reference to Figures 7 to 10. Note that if a delivery box is selected on the selection screen, "storage room" in the examples in Figures 7 to 10 will be replaced with "delivery box". Figure 7 shows an example of a screen for selecting the connection method between the information terminal 20 and the storage room 40, when JEM-A is selected. As shown in Figure 7, selecting JEM-A makes it possible to control the unlocking of the storage room 40 and acquire the locking / unlocking status. Figure 8 shows an example of a screen for selecting the connection method between the information terminal 20 and the storage room 40, when contact is selected. By selecting contact as the connection method between the information terminal 20 and the storage room 40, the storage room 40 can be selected in the setting of the alarm transmission circuit, as shown in Figure 9. This makes it possible to control the unlocking of the storage room 40 using the alarm transmission circuit. Furthermore, by selecting a contact as the connection method between the information terminal 20 and the trunk room 40, the trunk room 40 can be selected in the general-purpose circuit settings, as shown in Figure 10. This makes it possible to obtain the lock / unlock status using the general-purpose circuit. Alternatively, only the contact of the alarm transmission circuit may be connected to enable unlock control only. Alternatively, only the contact of the general-purpose circuit may be connected to enable acquisition of the lock / unlock status only. In addition, by adding a contact between the information terminal 20 and the trunk room 40, the arrival and departure status of the trunk room 40 can be obtained regardless of whether JEM-A or the contact is selected, as shown in Figures 7 and 8.

[0044] Next, the procedure for unlocking the storage room 40 will be explained with reference to Figure 11. Figure 11 is an example of a sequence diagram showing the flow of operations between the information terminal and the storage room. Under normal circumstances, the storage room 40 is locked, and at the start of the unlocking procedure in Figure 11, the storage room 40 is in a locked state.

[0045] First, the delivery person operates the entrance intercom 22 and communicates with the resident who is operating the information terminal 20 inside the dwelling. After the resident confirms the delivery person, they use the information terminal 20 to perform an unlocking operation (S1), and an unlocking signal is sent from the information terminal 20 to the storage room 40 (S2).

[0046] Upon receiving the unlocking signal, the storage unit 40 displays the unlockable storage units on the monitor (S3). The monitor may be installed on the door of the storage unit 40 or on the wall of the building complex.

[0047] The delivery person operates the monitor to open the door to the designated storage room 40 (S4). This unlocks storage room 40, allowing the delivery person to enter it.

[0048] The delivery person places the package in the storage room 40 (S5) and inputs the arrival date to the monitor (S6). The storage room 40 then transmits an input signal regarding the arrival of the package (S7), and the information terminal 20 receives the information regarding the arrival of the package (S8). The information terminal 20, having received the information regarding the arrival of the package, may display the information regarding the arrival of the package on the display unit 65.

[0049] After the delivery person enters the arrival of the package into the monitor in S6, the storage room 40 is locked when the door of the storage room 40 is closed (S9). Subsequently, the storage room 40 transmits an input signal regarding the locking (S10), and the information terminal 20 receives information about the locking (S11). The information terminal 20, having received the information about the locking, may display the information about the locking on the display unit 65.
