It is determined whether or not there are persons in the 52 detection areas DA2 and the number of persons.

  The message message reproduction system 20 uses the unique ID information of the electronic key 41 registered in advance in the storage unit 34. That is, the unique ID information of the electronic key 41 is registered in the controller 32 in association with the resident who carries it. Thereby, when returning home from outside, by the authentication of the electronic key 41 implemented through the communication device 31 for unlocking the front door 22, identification of the resident who returned home is simultaneously implemented.

  A message message is either text data or voice data. The message message is registered in a message message table T (shown in FIG. 4B) described later by the operation of the operation unit 64 of the reproduction terminal 61. For example, after an operation for starting the message message registration mode is accepted by the operation of the operation unit 64 of the reproduction terminal 61, one of ID codes registered in advance in the storage unit 34 is selected for the sender and the receiver. Let After one of the ID codes is selected by the operation of the operation unit 64, either voice or text message is selected as the type of message message. In the following, a message message consisting of voice data may be referred to simply as a "voice message" and a message message consisting of text data may be referred to simply as a "character message".

  When the type of message message is selected by the operation of the operation unit 64 and it is a voice message, for example, a guide message such as "Please leave a message message after becoming a beep" is uttered from the speaker 63. Then, when the message message is blown into the microphone 62 after waiting for the message message being blown through the microphone 62, the message message is made to correspond to the preselected ID code, and the message message table Register in T.

  When the message message is a text message, for example, a guide message such as "Please enter a message message" is displayed on the display unit 65. Then, the operation of the operation unit 64 waits for the input of the message message, and thereafter, when the message message is input by the operation unit 64, the input message message is made to correspond to the preselected ID code, The message message table T is registered.

  When the operation for instructing the end of the message message registration mode is accepted by the operation of the operation unit 64, the message message registration mode is ended.

  In the message reproduction system 20, the controller 32 is connected to the message server 70 via the network N. In the present embodiment, the message message is registered in the storage unit 34 of the controller 32 using the operation unit 64 of the reproduction terminal 61, the microphone 62, etc., and the personal computer terminal 72 used in the mobile phone terminal 71 or the building 10. , Etc. via the network N and registered in the message server 70.

  The message message server 70 is a computer having control means (CPU), storage means (ROM, RAM, hard disk, etc.) not shown, and is at least either character data or voice data by executing various programs. Control such as transmission and reception of message is performed. Then, when the message message server 70 receives a message message transmitted from the portable telephone terminal 71 or the personal computer terminal 72, the message message is transmitted to the controller 32 by the message message server 70. The message message received by the message server 70 is registered in a message storage area 37 provided in the storage unit 34 of the controller 32.

  Messages sent by a resident who is a user to the message message server 70 from the mobile phone terminal 71 or the personal computer terminal 72 are, in addition to character data or voice data as a message, reception of ID information of the user as a sender and the message Contains the ID information of the user who is the Although the ID information of each of the sender and the receiver may be directly typed from the mobile phone terminal 71 or the personal computer terminal 72, the message transmission operation can be simplified by using a dedicated application for message transmission or the like. Is desirable.

  For example, when the name and ID information of a user such as a resident of the building 10 are stored in advance in the mobile phone terminal 71 or the personal computer terminal 72, and the above-mentioned dedicated application is activated, the stored user list is carried The message displayed on the screen of the telephone terminal 71 or the personal computer terminal 72 may be registered in the message message server 70 for the user (multiple simultaneous selection possible) selected from the displayed list.

  The message message server 70 extracts the ID information of the sender and the ID information of the receiver from the message transmitted by using the dedicated application, and associates the message with the character or voice data of the message, and consists of various message data A message table (not shown, which corresponds to the message message table T of the controller 32) is registered.

  The controller 32 accesses the message message server 70 through the network N, and uploads and updates the constantly updated message message in the storage unit 34 of the controller 32. The controller 32 acquires a message registered in the message message server 70 via the network N when the resident who is the user who receives the message unlocks the locking device 23 and opens and closes the front door 22. It may be good.

  Also, the message message reproduction system 20 is used in conjunction with the mail system 73 of the personal computer terminal 72. Among the mails received by the mail system 73, the mail reproduced by the message message reproduction system 20 is identified, and the identified mail is transferred to the message server 70 via the network N.

  As shown in the father's mail inbox 74 in the mail system 73 of FIG. 2, the mail reproduced by the message message reproduction system 20 is described as "[Message]" in the subject. As a result, among the mails received by the mail system 73, unread mails in which "[Message]" is written in the subject line are extracted. In the father's mail inbox 74 of the mail system 73 of FIG. 2, “unread [message] tomorrow's belongings” and “unread [message] recording message” are transferred. The e-mail addresses of the sender and the receiver store the corresponding ID information in advance, and the corresponding ID information is transferred to the message server 70 as the sender and the receiver. Even if it is already confirmed read mail, if there is a mail that the user who is the recipient wants to reproduce on the reproduction terminal 61 like memorandum, by leaving the read state of the mail unread in the mail system 73, It is identified as a mail to be transferred to the message server 70.

  In the message message server 70, the ID information of the sender and the ID information of the receiver are extracted from the mail transferred from the mail system 73, and are correlated with the message composed of the character data or the voice data, from the various message data. Are registered as a message message table (not shown, which corresponds to the message message table T of the controller 32 as described above). The controller 32 receives the message transferred from the mail message server 70 from the message message server 70 via the network N, and registers the message in the message message table T.

  At the time of voice reproduction of the message message, “unread [message] tomorrow's belongings” is a message message consisting of character data, so the mail subject and mail text are read out by the voice reading unit 38 and “unread [message] recorded message Since “is a message message consisting of voice data, the voice data attached is reproduced as it is.

  FIG. 3 is a conceptual view showing the storage contents of the reproduction condition storage area 36. As shown in FIG. The reproduction condition storage area 36 includes at least a reproduction setting area 361 and a situation setting area 362.

  In FIG. 3, the reproduction setting area 361 stores the reproduction method of the registered message message. In the present embodiment, (1) "voice message is reproduced and text messages are read out and reproduced by voice message voice reproduction", and (2) "voice notification reproduction in which only the number of message messages is notified by voice" 3) “Display notification reproduction in which only the number of message messages is displayed on the display unit 65 and notified” and (4) “Don't execute reproduction of message message (reproduction impossible)” are stored.

  In addition, as items displayed on the display unit 65, (1) a list of message messages is displayed in the case of message message voice reproduction, and (2) in the case of message notification reproduction and (3) display notification reproduction. It is stored that the number of message messages is displayed. It is also stored that when the message message (4) reproduction is not possible, the display on the display unit 65 is also hidden.

  The condition setting area 362 stores conditions for restricting the reproduction of the message and the reproduction method thereof. In the present embodiment, (1) "when a person other than the resident who has been authenticated by the electronic key 41 is present near the entrance door 22 (near the outdoor side and near the indoor side of the entrance door 22)", (2) "authentication "If the number of registered messages corresponding to the resident who has been registered is not 1 to 5", (3) "when the time for which the certified resident returned home is other than 6 to 21", and (4) "certification "When the lock device 23 is already in the unlocked state at the time of authentication of the resident," is set as a condition, and the reproduction restriction method in the case where each condition is met, ie, is set in the reproduction setting area 361 Of the message message playback methods, which playback method is set is set.

  FIG. 4A is a view showing an example of an ID code registered in the storage unit 34 of the controller 32 for an ID code used to authenticate the electronic key 41 when the locking device 23 is locked or unlocked. (B) is a figure which shows an example of a structure of the message message table T used with the message message reproduction | regeneration system 20. FIG.

  As illustrated in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the ID code used in the message message table T is the same as the ID code registered in the storage unit 34 for authentication of the electronic key 41. is there.

  As illustrated in FIG. 4B, in the message message table T, the message message is registered at least in a data format of either voice data or character data, corresponding to each of the ID codes.

  For example, a message message "Please return, a snack is a pudding in the refrigerator" consisting of voice data to be transmitted to child B in correspondence with ID code "87654321" is registered by the mother, and ID code "43214321" In response to the message message "O. Welcome back. Today is the day of the piano." Consisting of voice data to be transmitted to the child A is registered by the mother, and transmitted to the mother in correspondence with the ID code "12344321". A message message consisting of the letter data "Today does not have dinner" is registered by the father, and a message message "Voice bath" consisting of voice data to be transmitted to the father corresponding to the ID code "12345678" Hot water, throw it away. "Is registered from my mother.

  Next, the contents of the control process of message message reproduction executed by the control unit 33 of the controller 32 will be described based on FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of control processing.

  As shown in FIG. 5, first, in step S11, an authentication process of ID information received from the electronic key 41 via the communication device 31 is performed. In this authentication process, it is authenticated (judged) whether or not the ID information transmitted from the electronic key 41 as a response to the request signal from the communication device 31 matches the ID information stored in advance. If the ID information from the electronic key 41 does not match the ID information stored in advance as a result of the authentication processing, that is, in the case of an authentication NG, the determination in step S11 is NO and this processing is ended. On the other hand, if the ID information from the electronic key 41 matches the ID information stored in advance, that is, if the authentication is OK, YES is determined in step S11 and the process proceeds to step S12.

  In step S12, it is determined whether the unlocking process has been performed by the authenticated electronic key 41 or not. When the unlocking process is not performed by the authenticated electronic key 41, the present process ends. When the unlocking process is performed by the authenticated electronic key 41, the determination in step S12 is YES, and the process proceeds to step S13. That is, it is determined that it corresponds to (4) “when the lock device 23 is already in the unlocked state at the time of authentication of the authenticated resident” set in the condition setting area 362 of the reproduction condition storage area 36 Be done. Then, according to the reproduction method in the case of (4) set in the situation setting area 362, the reproduction of the message message is not implemented and the process ends.

  In step S13, after the authentication of the electronic key 41, it is determined whether or not the front door 22 is opened and then closed within a predetermined time. When the front door 22 is opened and then closed, the determination in step S13 is YES, and the process proceeds to step S14. If the front door 22 is not opened and then closed, the determination in step S13 is NO and the present process is ended. When the determination in step S13 is NO, the locking process of the locking device 23 is performed. It is determined that the authenticated resident has entered the indoor side of the entrance door 22 by detecting that the entrance door 22 is opened and then closed within a predetermined time after the electronic key 41 is authenticated in step S13.

  In step S14, it is determined by the timer 35 whether or not it is a time zone of 6 to 21 o'clock. If the time is a time zone of 6 to 21 o'clock, YES is determined in step S14, and the process proceeds to step S15. If the time is not the time zone of 6 to 21, then the determination in step S14 is NO, and the process proceeds to step S23.

  In step S15, based on the detection signal of the human sensor 51 provided on the outdoor side of the front door 22, the human sensor 51 does not detect the presence of a human, and is provided on the indoor side of the front door 22. Based on the detection signal of the human sensor 52, the human sensor 52 detects the presence of a person, and determines whether the number of detected persons is one or not. When the presence of a person is not detected by the human detection sensor 51 and the number of detected persons is one by the human detection sensor 52, that is, only the resident authenticated by the electronic key 41 is present near the entrance door 22 , YES is determined in step S15, the process proceeds to step S16. If the presence of a person is detected by the human sensor 51 or if the number of detected persons is not one by the human sensor 52, that is, the presence of a person other than the resident authenticated by the electronic key 41 is detected near the entrance door 22. If yes, the determination in step S15 is NO and the process proceeds to step S22.

  In step S16, it is determined whether the number of message messages in which the resident authenticated by the electronic key 41 is the receiver is 1 to 5. As a result of sorting the recipients by the authenticated resident ID from the message message table T, the number of message messages in which the authenticated resident is the recipient is determined. If the number of message messages is 1 to 5, the determination in step S16 is YES, and the process proceeds to step S17. If the number of message messages is not 1 to 5, the determination in step S16 is NO and the process proceeds to step S22.

  In step S17, voice reproduction of a message message is started with the resident authenticated by the electronic key 41 as the receiver. In this case, the message message by the voice data is converted into voice data by the voice reading unit 38 while the message by the character data is voiced, and the voice message is reproduced as voice through the speaker 63. At this time, the display unit 65 displays a list of message messages for the authenticated resident.

  In step S18, based on the detection signals from the human sensor 51 provided on the outdoor side of the front door 22 and the human sensor 52 provided on the indoor side of the front door 22, the presence of a human is not detected by the human sensor 51. The detection and the human sensor 52 determine whether the number of detected persons is one or not. When the presence of a person is not detected by the human detection sensor 51 and the number of detected persons is one by the human detection sensor 52, that is, only the resident authenticated by the electronic key 41 is present near the entrance door 22 , YES is determined in step S18, the process proceeds to step S19. If the presence of a person is detected by the human detection sensor 51 or the number of detected persons is not one by the human detection sensor 52, a person other than the resident authenticated by the electronic key 41 is present near the entrance door 22 In the case where the determination in step S18 is NO, the process proceeds to step S21.

  In step S19, it is determined whether the message stop button provided on the operation unit 64 of the reproduction terminal 61 has been pressed. If the message stop button is pressed, the determination is YES and the process proceeds to step S21. If the message stop button has not been pressed, the determination is NO and voice reproduction of the message is continued, and the process proceeds to step S20.

  In step S20, it is determined whether the voice reproduction of the message message having the resident authenticated by the electronic key 41 as the receiver has ended. When the voice reproduction of the message message is completed, the determination in step S20 is YES, and the present process ends. If the voice reproduction of the message has not ended, the determination in step S20 is NO, and the processes in steps S18 to S20 are repeated.

  In step S21, the voice reproduction of the message is interrupted, and the process proceeds to step S22. In step S22, the number of message messages is notified by voice. For example, when there are 6 message messages corresponding to the authenticated resident, a guide message “There is 6 messages”, and when it is 0, a guide message “No message” is reported from the speaker 63 Be done. In addition, when the voice reproduction of the message message is interrupted, a guide message "Please confirm the message" may be used. At this time, the display unit 65 displays the number of message messages to the authenticated resident. After notification of the guide message, the process ends.

  That is, it is determined in steps S15, S18 and S16 that the situation corresponds to the condition set in the situation setting area 362 of the reproduction condition storage area 36, and the reproduction is performed according to the set reproduction method. (1) “when there is a person other than the authenticated resident near the entrance door 22” is determined by steps S15 and S18, and (2) “when the number of message messages is not 1 to 5” is determined by step S16 In step S22, voice notification is made on the number of message messages. If it is determined in step S18 that the presence of a person other than the resident is detected even during voice reproduction of the message, the voice reproduction is interrupted.

  In step S23, the number of message messages is notified by the display unit 65. For example, if there is no message corresponding to the authenticated resident, a guide message “There is no message” is displayed, and if there are three messages, a guide message “There are three messages” is displayed on the display unit 65. It is informed by After notification of the guide message, the process ends. That is, it is determined in step S14 that the condition (3) “when the time when the authenticated resident returned home is other than 6 to 21 o'clock” corresponds to the condition (3) set in the condition setting area 362 of the reproduction condition storage area 36. Then, in accordance with the reproduction method set in the situation setting area 362, display notification of the number of message messages is given in step S23.

  As described above, when it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied according to the returned home status of the authenticated resident when implementing the message message corresponding to the authenticated resident by voice reproduction (step In S14, S15, S16 and S18), the voice reproduction of the message is limited to the voice notification or display notification of the number of message messages (steps S22 and S23). Further, as in step S12, when the lock device 23 is already in the unlocked state, the message message is not reproduced. Therefore, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the voice reproduction of the message is not performed, and the reproduction method is limited according to the situation of the resident who returned home.

  According to the configuration of the embodiment described above, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

  According to this embodiment, the message message corresponding to each resident can be registered, and when the resident returns home, the message message corresponding to the resident is reproduced and transmitted by voice. Since the message message from the cohabitant is automatically reproduced and transmitted to the resident who returned home, the cohabitant who registered the message message is also safe without any concerns such as omissions. Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, when performing voice reproduction of the message message, it is possible to limit the method of reproducing the message message according to the situation at the time of returning home of the resident who returned. Therefore, it is also preferable from the viewpoint of being able to consider the privacy of the resident who returned home, and it can be used according to the living rhythm of the cohabitant, and the convenience is excellent.

  It is certified by providing the human sensor 51 on the outdoor side of the front door 22 and the human sensor 52 on the indoor side as detection means for detecting the presence of a person other than the authenticated resident near the front door 22. It can be determined whether or not any person other than the resident exists near the entrance door.

  As a predetermined condition, the case where persons other than the authenticated resident exist near the entrance door 22 is set, and in this case, the voice reproduction of the message is limited. This makes it possible to consider the privacy of the resident who returned home.

  As a predetermined condition, the case where the resident is authenticated outside the predetermined time zone is set, and in this case, the voice reproduction of the message message is limited. If a predetermined time zone is set to the activity time zone in which the co-resident is awake, voice reproduction is limited to the time when the co-resident goes to bed. Therefore, the message message reproduction system 20 can be set and used according to the living rhythm of each resident.

  According to this embodiment, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the voice reproduction of the message message is restricted, and the number of message messages is notified. In notification playback in which only the number of message messages is notified, the content of the message message is not voice-replayed, and the playback time is also shorter than that of the voice message. Therefore, the resident who returned home can know the presence or absence of a message message, while considering the privacy and the living rhythm of the housemate.

  The message message can be registered as either text data or voice data, and is provided with a voice reading unit 38 for reading out a message consisting of character data by voice, and a display unit 65 on which the message message is displayed. The notification reproduction in the case where the voice reproduction of the message message is restricted is performed by at least one notification reproduction of the voice notification by the voice reading unit 38 or the display notification by the display unit 65. Since notification reproduction can be set to either voice or display, more detailed consideration can be made according to the situation. According to the present embodiment, when returning home during the bedtime of the cohabitant who is outside the set time zone, the notification is reproduced on the display so as not to disturb the covenant's bedtime.

  In voice reproduction, a message message consisting of voice data is reproduced as it is, and a message message consisting of character data is read out by the voice reading unit 38. Therefore, while the resident who returned home takes off shoes at the entrance 11, etc., the message message is reproduced as voice and transmitted without particular hand, and the convenience is excellent. In addition, even when voice reproduction is restricted by a predetermined condition, the message message can be confirmed on the display unit 65.

Second Embodiment
FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration regarding reproduction control of a message in the second embodiment of the message / message reproduction system 20. As shown in FIG.

  The reproduction control of the message according to the second embodiment is different from the reproduction control of the message according to the first embodiment in the authentication means. That is, in the second embodiment, identification of the resident who returned home is performed by face authentication. The differences from the first embodiment will be described below.

  A camera 26 is provided on the outdoor side near the entrance door 22. The camera 26 is configured by, for example, a digital camera, and is attached to an outer wall near the entrance door 22. The camera 26 shoots the face of a person near the entrance door 22 in the entrance space 14. More specifically, when the person near the entrance door 22 brings the face close to the camera 26, the camera 26 detects the face It is supposed to take pictures.

  A controller 32 is provided as a configuration for face authentication. The controller 32 includes a microcomputer having a CPU, a memory, and the like, as in the first embodiment. The configuration of the controller 32 is the same as the configuration of the controller 32 in the first embodiment except that a face image is registered in the storage unit 34 for authentication instead of ID information for electronic key authentication.

  A camera 26 is connected to the controller 32, as shown in FIG. When the face of a person is photographed by the camera 26, the face image is input from the camera 26 to the controller 32.

  The control unit 33 authenticates whether the person is a resident of the building 10 based on the face image of the person input from the camera 26. Specifically, at the time of the authentication, the control unit 33 determines whether the face image of the person input from the camera 26 matches the registered face image stored in the storage unit 34, and as a result of the determination, If there is a match, the person is identified as a resident of the building 10 (corresponding to a legitimate person).

  Although the human sensors 51 and 52 are provided on the outdoor side and the indoor side of the entrance door 22, in the second embodiment, the camera 26 for face authentication is used instead of the human sensor 51 on the outdoor side. It may be shared. In this case, after the authenticated resident opens the front door 22 by opening the front door 22, the camera 26 detects the presence or absence of a person in the entrance space 14, and the detection result is input to the controller 32. Further, instead of the human sensor 52, a camera for detecting the number of people may be provided on the indoor side of the front door 22. In this case, after the authenticated resident opens the entrance door 22 and enters the entrance 11, the camera detects the number of persons present in the entrance 11, and the detection result is input to the controller 32.

  The message message table T stored in the message storage area 37 is the same as the configuration of the message message table T of the first embodiment except that the message message is registered in correspondence with the face image of face authentication instead of the ID information. It is.

  In the second embodiment, the contents of the control process of message message reproduction executed by the control unit 33 of the controller 32 will be described based on the flowchart of the first embodiment (FIG. 5).

  The flowchart of the second embodiment is the same as the flowchart of FIG. 5 except that steps S11 and S12 in the flowchart of FIG. 5 are replaced with the following steps S31 and S32. As step S31, "whether or not the face image acquired by the camera 26 matches the registered face image of the resident" is determined. If the acquired face image does not match the registered face image, the process proceeds to step S31 (NO) as an authentication NG, and the process ends. If the acquired face image matches the registered face image, YES is determined in step S31 as authentication OK, and the process proceeds to step S32.

  In step S32, it is determined whether or not the unlock has been made by the authentication of the acquired face image. When the unlocking process is not performed with the face image acquired at this time, the present process is ended. When the unlocking process is performed on the face image acquired at this time, the determination in step S32 is YES, and the process proceeds to step S13. That is, as in step S12, when the resident returns home at the same time as the resident, etc., the face recognition is performed by the resident and the unlocking process is performed immediately before the resident, the resident who was not unlocked is handled. Messages will not be played back.

  Steps after step S13 are determined according to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the second embodiment, by performing face authentication as the authentication means, locking and unlocking of the locking device 23 can be performed automatically without carrying the electronic key 41, but other than that, with the first embodiment, The same effect is obtained.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be implemented, for example, as follows.

  (1) In the above embodiment, the resident who has returned home by electronic key 41 authentication or face authentication is specified, but for example, each resident is made to carry an electronic tag instead of electronic key 41 authentication or face authentication, The resident may be specified by the unique identification information of each electronic tag. In this case, by providing the communication device 31 similar to the present embodiment as the reader of the electronic tag on the outdoor side of the entrance 21, the same effect as that of the above embodiment can be obtained.

  (2) In the above embodiment, four predetermined conditions and four message message reproduction methods are illustrated, but the predetermined conditions and reproduction methods are not limited thereto. That is, since the present invention is characterized in that the regeneration method can be limited according to the situation at the time of returning home, the situation and the limitation method are not particularly limited.

  For example, in a certain resident, a message from a certain cohabitant (for example, a child) can always set voice reproduction. Further, for example, in notification reproduction of the number of message messages, not only the number of message messages, but also voice notification or display notification of the sender of the message message can be set. Further, in a situation where only the number of message messages is notified, only the presence or absence of the message messages may be notified instead of the number.

  (3) Although the receiver of the message message is a specific one in the above embodiment, a message message having a plurality of receivers can also be registered. For example, when a message message including a plurality of receivers (for example, all the residents) is registered, voice reproduction of the message is performed when a plurality of residents of only a part of the receivers return home at the same time It may be set as

  In this case, it corresponds to (1) “when there is a person other than the authenticated resident near the entrance door 22” set in the condition setting area 362 as a condition for restricting the reproduction of the message message. Therefore, in 1st and 2nd embodiment, it corresponds, when NO determination is carried out by step S15 of the flowchart of FIG. In this embodiment, after the determination of step S15 in the flowchart of FIG. 5 is NO, the process proceeds to step S41 described later, and proceeds to steps S42 to 44 according to the determination, but may return to step S22 of the flowchart of FIG. . Although the authentication method is different between the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the same determination is made regardless of the authentication method in steps S41 to S44 described later. In the following, "unlocked certified resident" is referred to as "unlocked certifier" and "unauthorized resident" other than "unlocked certified resident" is referred to as "unlocked unlocked". It is called a certifier.

  If NO is determined in step S15 of the flowchart of FIG. 5, the process proceeds to step S41, and in step S41, whether there is a message message including multiple recipients among message messages including the unlocking authenticator as a recipient Is determined. When step S41 is NO determination, it progresses to step S22. In addition, also when there is no message message which makes an unlocking authenticator a receiver, it becomes NO determination and it progresses to step S22. If there is a message message including a plurality of recipients, the process proceeds to step S42.

  In step S42, it is determined whether the presence of a non-unlocking certifier has been detected. If there is no non-unlocking certifier, the determination is NO and the process proceeds to step S22. If there is a non-unlocking certifier, the determination is YES and the process proceeds to step S43.

  In step S43, it is determined whether there is a message message in which the non-unlocked certifier is the receiver. If there is no message message with the non-unlocked certifier as the receiver, the determination is NO, and the process proceeds to step S22, where the voice notification of the number of message messages to the unlocked certifier is reproduced. If there is a message message with the non-unlocked certifier as the recipient, the process proceeds to step S44.

  In step S44, a message message with the unlocking certifier and the non-locking certifier as recipients is voice-reproduced.

  In this embodiment, when there are message messages addressed to all the residents, the message messages are also reproduced as voices when a plurality of residents return home at the same time. Since there is also a communication item that all the residents want to share information among families or residents who live together, the embodiment is also excellent in convenience while considering also privacy.

  (4) In the embodiment of the above (3), when a person other than a resident is detected, a setting may be further added in which sound reproduction is restricted. In this case, in the second embodiment, when a face image taken by the face authentication camera 26 includes a face image not registered in the face authentication unit, reproduction may be disabled.

  For example, in step S43 of the flowchart of the embodiment (3) described above, when there is a message message in which the non-unlocked certifier is the receiver, the process proceeds to step S51. In step S51, it is determined whether an unregistered face image is included. If an unregistered face image is not included, the determination is NO and the process proceeds to step S44. If a face image not registered is included, the process may proceed to step S22 or step S23 to reproduce a voice notification or display notification of the number of message messages for the unlocking certifier.

  When the setting is performed in the first embodiment, for example, a camera for face authentication is provided on the outdoor side near the entrance door 22, and the person is registered in advance based on the face image of the person photographed by the camera. It is preferable to provide a face authentication unit that performs authentication as to whether or not the user is a registered person. By doing so, the determination of step S51 can be made.

  (5) Although not set as a predetermined condition in the above embodiment, "when a visitor is in progress" may be set as the predetermined condition. In the first embodiment, in order to detect being in the visitor, for example, cameras for face authentication are provided at two places, the outdoor side near the entrance door 22 and the entrance space 14 and photographed by the camera It is preferable to have a face authentication unit that authenticates whether the person is a registered person registered in advance based on a face image of the person.

  A camera provided on the outdoor side near the entrance door 22 has a lens directed in the outdoor side direction (in the direction of the entrance space 14) of the entrance 21 to capture a person entering the building 10 from the entrance door 22. A camera provided in the entrance space 14 has a lens directed in the direction of the entrance 21 to capture a person coming out of the entrance door 22.

  If a face image taken by a camera provided on the outdoor side of the entrance 21 includes a face image not registered in the face authentication unit, it is determined as "visitor". And the face image which is not registered is once registered as a visitor's face image. Thereafter, a person provided from the entrance door 22 is photographed by the camera provided in the entrance space 14, and by authentication of the photographed face image, by matching with the face image registered in the face image of the visitor, Processing of "in the visitor" is finished.

  In the second embodiment, the embodiment is implemented by providing a camera for face recognition in the entrance space 14. That is, the "visitor" who is not a registered face image is determined by the camera 26 described in the second embodiment and the storage unit 34 of the controller 32, and the camera provided in the entrance space 14 determines the visitor's It is sufficient to detect the return home.

  As a method of reproducing the message message when “when in the visitor” is set as the predetermined condition, for example, display notification of the number of message messages is made or reproduction of the message message is disabled (reproduction is not performed). The restriction may be set appropriately. While "when a visitor is in progress" is set as a predetermined condition and processed as a "visitor is in progress", a restricted reproduction method in which voice reproduction of a message is set even if another resident comes home It becomes.

  The flowchart in this case is the same as that of the flowchart of FIG. 5 except that the process proceeds to step S61 when YES is determined in step S13 of the flowchart of FIG. If YES is determined in step S13 in the embodiment, the process proceeds to step S61, and it is determined whether or not a visitor is in progress in step S61. If it is not a visitor, it proceeds to step S14. If it is a visitor, it proceeds to step S23 (or step S22).

  As described above, when it is determined that the "visitor is", the reproduction of the message is limited even if the visitor is staying at a place other than the entrance 11, such as a living room. That is, when a face image not registered as a resident is confirmed, reproduction of the message message is restricted regardless of the place of stay, and privacy of the resident can be further considered.

  Although a camera for face authentication is provided in the entrance space 14 in the above description, the present invention is not limited to this as long as it can be determined that the user is in the visitor. A button may be provided, and in the case of a visitor, the button may be pressed to perform non-reproducible processing. In this case, when the visitor comes home, the reproduction OFF button is pressed again to cancel the reproduction OFF.

  (6) In the above embodiment, the operation unit 64 of the reproduction terminal 61 is provided with the stop button for stopping the voice reproduction of the message message, and thereby the voice reproduction of the message message can be interrupted. The recognition may interrupt the voice reproduction of the message. The voice recognition means is provided in the controller 32, and when the voice of "stop" is inputted as a voice command by the microphone 62 of the playback terminal 61, the voice playback of the message message is interrupted. In this embodiment, even if both hands are closed, the voice reproduction of the message can be interrupted.

  (7) In the above embodiment, although the message message reproduction system 20 of the residents of the building 10 has been described, the message message can be registered from the mobile phone terminal 71 and the personal computer terminal 72 via the message message server 70. There is no particular limitation on the person. Also, for example, even if the user is not a resident, in the first embodiment, if the person carrying an electronic tag or the like having unique ID information (hereinafter referred to as “person C”) specifies the ID information By registering the message message table T, the message message corresponding to the person C can be similarly reproduced from the reproduction terminal 61. In the second embodiment, if the person has registered the face image in the storage unit 34 in advance (hereinafter, the person D), the person image D is similarly registered in the message message table T by designating the face image. The corresponding message message can be reproduced from the reproduction terminal 61.

  (8) In the above embodiment, the presence of a person other than the resident authenticated by the human detection sensors 51 and 52 is detected. For example, a camera is provided on the outdoor side and the indoor side near the entrance door 22 and shooting is performed by the camera Detection (for example, detection of the number of persons) of persons other than the resident who are authenticated by image processing of the acquired image may be performed.

  (9) In the above embodiment, it has been described that the mail system 73 of the personal computer sends the message to the message message server 70 by making the mail unread. For example, as another function of the message message reproduction system 20, the registration effective period and the reproduction effective number of times for the registered message message are set in advance, and the case where the registration effective period has passed or the reproduction effective frequency is reproduced May automatically delete the message message.

  Further, the resident may not only blow in the microphone 62 to register the message message, but also may register a selected message message from among a plurality of fixed message messages registered in advance.

  (10) In the first embodiment, the lock device 23 is described which is locked and unlocked by remote control using the electronic key 41 authentication and the operation unit 44 of the electronic key 41, but for example, the electronic key 41 authentication and the following The locking device 23 may be locked and unlocked by contact with a touch sensor.

  For example, a resident who carried the electronic key 41 touches the doorknob in a state where a touch sensor is built in the doorknob provided on the outdoor side surface of the entrance door 22 and the electronic key 41 transmits the user's ID information. Locking or unlocking is performed. In the locking device 23 in this mode, when the occupant carrying the electronic key 41 touches the doorknob in a state where the locking device 23 is unlocked, the locking device 23 is locked. Further, when the occupant carrying the electronic key 41 touches the doorknob while the locking device 23 is locked, the locking device 23 is unlocked. The touch sensor is, for example, a capacitive touch sensor.
