).

Thereafter, it is determined whether or not a line disconnection request has been sent from the head office terminal device 20 (step ST11). If a line disconnection request has been sent, line 1 and line 2 are disconnected (step ST12). After disconnecting line 1 and line 2 during this time, it is determined whether the emergency switch llf on the operation panel 11 has been operated (step ST13). As a result, if the emergency switch llf is operated, the process moves to step ST4, and a line connection request is sent to the terminal device 20 of the main office.

Further, if the emergency switch llf is not operated, and in step ST11, the main office terminal device 20
If it is determined that a line disconnection request has not been sent, it is determined from the outputs of the proximity sensor 13 and mat switch 18 whether or not the visitor has left the room (step ST1).
4). If the visitor has not left the room, the process moves to step ST8, and if the visitor has left the room, a termination process is performed (step ST15). That is, the above processing contents are saved in the memory 30d, and the display unit 1
2 screen will be cleared.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step ST2 that one of the mode setting switches is in the attendant-attended mode, operation guidance is displayed on the display section 12, and the voice guidance section 3lb provides an operation such as "bin bone". An acoustic signal indicating the possible state is sent out, and this is output from the speaker l6 (steps ST16, 17).

In this state, for example, when a visitor operates the operation panel 11, in response to this operation, the Jt! ! Management guidance processing is executed (step ST
18) After this, it is determined whether the emergency switch 11f has been operated (step ST19). As a result, if the emergency switch llf is operated, the step S
The process moves to T4, and a line connection request is sent to the terminal device 20 of the main office.

Also, if the emergency switch llf is not operated,
It is determined from the outputs of the proximity sensor 13 and mat switch 18 whether or not the visitor has left the room (step ST20).

As a result, if the visitor has not left the room, the process moves to step ST18, and if the visitor has left the room, an end process is performed (step ST21). That is, the above processing contents are saved in the memory 30d, and the display unit 12
screen will be cleared.

FIG. 8 schematically shows the command processing operation of the head office terminal device 20.

While the main office terminal device 20 is connected to the police box terminal device 10 via lines 1 and 2, it is determined whether a command is sent from the police box terminal device 10 (step ST31). As a result, if a command has been sent, this command is a request to send information from the police box terminal device 20 to the police box terminal device 1o, or the command is sent from the police box terminal device 1o to the police box terminal device 20. , for example, for receiving information stored in the memory 30d, etc. is determined (step ST32). As a result, if the command is a command requesting transmission of information from the main office terminal device 20 to the police box terminal device 1o, the required information is sent from the main office terminal device 20 to the police box terminal device 10 (step S
T33). In addition, if the command is a command for receiving information transmitted from the police box terminal device 10 to the headquarters terminal device 20, the police box terminal device 10 sends information to the headquarters terminal device 20.
