Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional multiple dwelling house interphone systems require cumbersome operations for managers to contact dwellers who trigger alarms, involving additional recording steps for conversation confirmation.

Innovation Solution

The system includes a management master device with a display section and touch panel, allowing for a simple operation to call the source of an alarm through an emission source call button, and automatically records conversations with the dweller.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the manager uses the conventional operation method to call the alarm source, then the call can be made, but additional recording operation is required which makes the operation cumbersome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation simplicityVSAvoidtime for recording operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically initiates recording when the manager presses the emission source call button, before the conversation actually begins. This preliminary automatic action eliminates the need for the manager to perform separate recording operations, reducing operational steps and time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The management master device automatically performs the recording function without requiring manual intervention from the manager. The system serves itself by detecting the call initiation and automatically starting the recording process, freeing the manager from additional operational tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Loss of information

If the manager needs to confirm conversation content later, then recording is necessary, but the additional recording operation becomes bothersome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconversation confirmationVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The recording function operates automatically without requiring manual activation by the manager. The system detects when a call to the emission source is initiated and automatically starts recording, ensuring conversation confirmation capability while maintaining operational simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The calling function and recording function are merged into a single automated process. When the manager initiates a call to the emission source, both the calling and recording actions are combined into one automatic operation, eliminating the need for separate recording steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

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.
