The lamp driving circuit 27 turns on the LED lamp 25 when the push buttons 20 and 21 are pressed, and turns off the LED lamp 25 when the recovery button 22 is pressed. The slave CPU 28 controls each part of the nurse call slave 11 and outputs different option call signals to the nurse call master 31 when the push buttons 20 and 21 are pressed by the nurse. .

  As shown in FIG. 4, the nurse call master unit 31 includes a handset 32 for a nurse at the nurse station to communicate with a patient in a hospital room, and a nurse in response to a call signal from the nurse call slave unit 11. A calling speaker 33 for generating a ringing tone for calling and a ringing tone setting table 34 for setting different ringing sounds according to the calling signal are provided. The ringing tone setting table 34 is stored in a storage device (not shown) of the nurse call parent device 31 in the form of a call contrast table as shown in FIG. 6, for example.

  The nurse call master unit 31 has a history recording database 35 for recording history information previously associated with the call buttons 14, 15, 16 and the push buttons 20, 21, and the time of occurrence in the history information. A history recording clock 36 for addition, a display 37 for displaying various nursing information including history information and call information, and a parent CPU 38 for controlling the whole nurse call parent 31 are provided. It is also possible to connect a medical portable terminal carried by the nurse to the nurse call master unit 31.

  Next, operation | movement of the nurse call system 1 of Example 1 is demonstrated. As shown in FIG. 5, first, in the nurse call slave unit 11, when the patient presses the call buttons 14, 15, 16 or the nurse presses the push buttons 20, 21 (S11), the slave CPU 28 A call signal corresponding to the pressed button is output to the nurse call parent device 31 (S12). Next, in the nurse call parent device 31, the parent device CPU 38 reads the nursing history corresponding to the received call signal from the ringing tone setting table 34, and records it in the history recording database 35 together with the time of occurrence of the call signal (S13). .

  Subsequently, in the nurse call cordless handset 11, the cordless handset CPU 28 determines whether the call signal is an option call signal generated by the operation of the push buttons 20 and 21 by the nurse or the call buttons 14, 15, 16 by the patient. It is determined whether the call signal is a normal call signal generated by the operation (S14). Then, the slave CPU 28 ends the process when the normal call signal is determined, and when the option call signal is determined, the slave CPU 28 has a function equivalent to the command by the recovery button 22 in order to stop the calling speaker 33. The recovery command to be exhibited is output to the nurse call master unit 31 (S15).

  Next, in the nurse call parent device 31, the parent device CPU 38 checks whether or not a recovery command has been received from the nurse call child device 11 (S16). If the restoration command has not been received, the ringing tone corresponding to the normal calling signal is read from the ringing tone setting table 34 and generated in the calling speaker 33 (S17), and then the process proceeds to call processing (S18). On the other hand, when the recovery command is received, the calling speaker 38 is stopped so that the calling sound is not generated in the nurse station (S19), and the series of processes is ended.

  Therefore, according to the nurse call system 1 of the first embodiment, the existing nurse call parent device 31 can be used as it is, and by providing the nurse call child device 11 with the push buttons 20 and 21 and the recovery command, the existing call / response It is possible to add a silent record function of nursing history to the system. In particular, since the push buttons 20 and 21 are attached to the existing option call terminal 24 on the circuit board 23, there is an advantage that the nurse call handset 11 can be repaired at low cost without replacing the circuit board 23.

  Next, Example 2 of the present invention will be described. The nurse call system according to the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the configuration for preventing the nurse call parent device 31 from generating a ringing tone when the push buttons 20 and 21 are pressed. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the ringing sounds corresponding to the option calling signals 1 and 2 from the push buttons 20 and 21 are set to be silent in the ringing sound setting table 34 of the nurse call parent device 31.

  More specifically, the nurse call history of “nurse call” and “toilet assistance” is assigned to the normal call signals from the call buttons 14, 15 and 16 of the nurse call handset 11, and “melody 1” and “melody” are assigned. “2” is set. In the alarm signal from the drop-off line alarm device 26, the ringing tone of “melody 3” is set together with the accident history of “drop-off line”. On the other hand, in the option (call signal) 1 from the push button 20, a “silent” ringing tone is set together with a “history” nursing history. The option (call signal) 2 from the push button 21 is set with a “silent” ringing sound together with a nursing history of “excretion assistance”.

  Then, the base unit CPU 38 reads the nursing history and the ringing tone corresponding to the type of the calling signal received from the nurse call handset 11 from the ringing tone setting table 34, records the nursing history in the history recording database 35, and the ringing tone. Is generated in the calling speaker 33. For this reason, when the option call signals 1 and 2 are generated in response to the operation of the push buttons 20 and 21, the call speaker 33 is silently operated, and the “tour” or “ It is possible to leave the room work of “excretion assistance” as a nursing history.

  Therefore, according to the nurse call system of the second embodiment, the nurse call parent device 31 adds the nursing history silent recording function to the existing call / response system by changing the setting contents of the ring tone setting table 34. Can do.

  Next, Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described. In the nurse call system of the third embodiment, when the push buttons 20 and 21 are pressed, the call speaker 33 of the nurse call parent device 31 is stopped by a command from the parent CPU 38.

That is, as shown in FIG. 7, when the call buttons 14, 15, 16 or the push buttons 20, 21 are pressed (S21), a call signal corresponding to the button is sent from the nurse call slave unit 11 to the nurse call master unit 31. The nursing history corresponding to the calling signal output (S22) and received by the master CPU 38 is recorded in the nursing history recording database 35 (S23).

  Subsequently, base unit CPU 38 checks whether the call signal is an option call signal or a normal call signal (S24). If the call signal is a normal call signal, the call sound corresponding to the call signal is read from the call sound setting table 34 and generated by the call speaker 33 (S25), and then the process proceeds to call processing (S26). On the other hand, when the option call signal is confirmed, a restoration command is output (S27), the calling speaker 33 is stopped (S28), and at the same time, the restoration command is issued so that no calling confirmation sound is generated in the nurse call slave unit 11. Is transmitted to the nurse call slave unit 11.

  Then, the slave CPU 28 confirms whether or not a recovery command has been received (S29). If the slave command is received, the slave speaker 19 is stopped (S30), and the series of processing ends. Therefore, according to the nurse call system of the third embodiment, the push buttons 20 and 21 are provided on the nurse call slave unit 11, and the restoration instruction is added to the program of the nurse call master unit 31, whereby the existing call / response system is provided. Can be used to realize a silent recording function of nursing history.
