A terminal device configured to communicate with room parent devices installed in respective rooms is equipped with an input unit enabling input of a dweller name as a call manipulation for calling a room parent device; a storage unit stored with a call table in which a room number, a dweller name, and room parent device identification information assigned to each of the room parent devices are correlated; and a control unit determining a call target room parent device based on an input content of the call manipulation and the call table and performing call control for calling the determined room parent device. In adding a new dweller name for an existing room number to the call table stored in the storage unit, the control unit automatically registers, as room parent device identification information of the new dweller name, the room parent device identification information assigned to the room number.

Terminal device, and intercom system provided with terminal device

In an intercom system to be used in an apartment complex configured by residential buildings and a centralized building that can communicate with the residential buildings, the residential buildings includes: residential room master devices disposed in residential rooms, collective entrance devices which can communicate with the residential room master devices; and a building controller. The building controller has: a building controller ID that, when the centralized building is called by one of the residential room master devices via the building controller, is used in recognition in which the centralized building recognizes the building controller; and a collective entrance device ID that, when the centralized building is called by one of the residential room master devices via the building controller, is used in recognition in which the one residential room master device recognizes the building controller as a virtual collective entrance device that is different from the collective entrance devices.

Building controller and interphone system

An intercom system includes a dwelling parent device installed in each dwelling, a collective foyer device configured to communicate with the dwelling parent device, and a control device configured to control the collective foyer device, which includes name plates on each of which a resident name for specifying a dwelling parent device of a resident is displayed so a visitor may call the resident, and dedicated buttons correlated with the name plates and capable of receiving an operation for calling the dwelling parent device corresponding to the resident name displayed on each name plate. The collective foyer device or the control device includes a calling table in which location numbers for specifying locations of dedicated buttons in a region of the collective foyer device are assigned. The respective resident names are assigned to the location numbers of the dedicated buttons visually recognizable to the visitor, on the calling table.

Intercom system

An intercom system according to the invention is configured to be communicable with dwelling unit devices installed in individual dwelling units, and includes: an input section () which can input, in order for a visitor to call a resident, dwelling-unit specifying information that specifies the dwelling unit device of the resident on a character-by-character basis and can call the specified dwelling unit device; a name display section () which displays a name that is allocated to at least one of the individual dwelling unit devices; and a dedicated call section () which is provided correlated with the name display section () and can call the dwelling unit device to which the name is allocated.
