FIG. 6 is a display explanatory diagram of the first display 31 and the second display 32 of the parent device 3 when a call occurs during the setting. R3 shown in FIG. 6 is the caller's patient information display unit, and the caller's patient information displayed when the call is received is not popped up on the first display 31 and is displayed only on the second display 32 Is shown.
By a predetermined display setting operation, the call from the patient in the standby state is popped up on the first display 31, but the first display 31 during the setting operation can be set so that the caller's patient information is not popped up, Thus, the display operation may be performed so that the setting screen R1 is not hidden.
In this case, since the setting screen R1 is not hidden even if a call occurs, the setting operation can be continued smoothly after the interruption. Further, since the caller's patient information is continuously displayed on the second display 32, a smooth response can be made even during the setting operation.

  Note that the master unit 3 does not have the large first display 31 as described above, but includes a PC type master unit 3a including a personal computer having a medium display (PC display 31a), a handset 33a, and a second display 32. And a desktop base unit 3b having a small display 32a corresponding to the above. FIG. 7 shows a nurse call system provided with such a master unit 3, and the configuration other than the master unit 3 is the same as that of FIG.

When such a parent device 3 displays a pop-up display of the caller's patient information in a state where the patient information list is displayed, the display (PC display) 31a of the PC-type parent device 3a which is smaller than the first display 31 Therefore, it is desirable to display the caller's patient information only on the small display 32a.
In this case, the PC display 31a may be displayed with a telop (not shown) of the caller's patient name at the bottom of the screen at the time of calling, and the patient information list displayed at the time of standby is shown in FIG. Thus, the calling source patient may be notified by changing the color of the calling source patient frame P (indicated by a bold line in the figure).

  Thus, since the caller's patient information is displayed on the small display 32a without being enlarged and displayed by a pop-up, a smooth response can be made even during a setting operation, and in addition, a telop display and a patient information list are displayed. The caller can be identified from the change in the display color.
