Intercom Terminal Device Automates Dweller Link Registration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional intercommunication systems require extensive link setting work when installing or updating a call table, especially when adding or removing dweller names, leading to a heavy workload for construction workers and managers.
Innovation Solution
The terminal device automates the registration of room parent device identification information for new dweller names within the same room number, reducing the need for repeated link setting work and allowing managers to update call tables without manual link setting, while maintaining link settings even after the last dweller is deleted.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If link setting work is performed manually for each dweller name registration, then the call table can be accurately updated, but the workload and time required increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs link setting operations without requiring manual worker intervention. When a dweller name is registered or deleted, the terminal device automatically updates the call table by retrieving or removing the corresponding room parent device ID, eliminating the need for workers to manually configure each entry.
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical process of link setting (workers physically configuring devices) is replaced by an automated electronic system. The terminal device communicates with room parent devices through the intercom system's communication network, automatically establishing and updating links without human intervention.
2Reliability
If link setting work is performed for every dweller name addition, then the system remains synchronized, but the complexity and effort of maintenance increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically maintains synchronization by detecting when dweller names are added or deleted and performing the necessary link setting operations without human intervention. The terminal device autonomously queries room parent devices for their IDs and updates the call table accordingly, ensuring the system remains synchronized while simplifying operations.
3Manufacturing precision
If manual link setting is required for each room parent device, then accurate device correlation is achieved, but the number of required worker interventions increases
Solution Approach 1:
The manual process of workers correlating devices is replaced by automated communication between the terminal device and room parent devices through the intercom system. The terminal device automatically retrieves room parent device IDs and establishes correlations in the call table without requiring physical worker intervention at each device.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically copies the room parent device ID from the room parent device to the call table entry for the corresponding dweller name. This automated copying process ensures accurate device correlation while eliminating the need for manual data transcription and reducing installation time.

AI summary
A terminal device (10) which is configured so as to be able to communicate with room parent devices installed in respective rooms is equipped with an input unit (102) which enables input of at least a dweller name as a call manipulation for calling a particular room parent device ; a storage unit (101) which is stored with a call table A in which a room number, a dweller name, and room parent device identification information assigned to each of the room parent devices are correlated with each other; and a control unit (106) which determines a call target room parent device on the basis of an input content of the call manipulation and the call table and performs a call control for calling the determined room parent device. In adding a new dweller name for an existing room number to the call table A stored in the storage unit (101), the control unit (106) automatically registers, as room parent device identification information of the new dweller name, the room parent device identification information that is already assigned to the same room number.
