PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a nurse call system by which a medical service worker can associate a plurality of call detection devices connected with connecting parts with alert methods for alerting calls from the call detection devices with minimum time and effort when he/she connects the call detection devices with the connection parts.SOLUTION: When a connection detection part 16 detects the connection of a call detection device 1 with any one of the connection parts 12 while an alert method is designated by an alert method designating part 14, connection part-identifying information of the connection part 12 and alert method-identifying information indicating the designated alert method are associated with each other and are stored in a memory part 15. In this manner, the medical service worker only connects a call detection device 1 with any one of the plurality of connection parts 12 while a desired alert method is designated, so as to register the connection part 12 with which the call detection device 1 is connected and the alert method with associating them with each other. Even when the number of call detection devices 1 to be connected with the connection parts 12 is large, he/she can associate them with one another with minimum time and effort, if the number of kinds of alert methods is small.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】 複数の呼出検出装置を接続部に接続する際に、接続した呼出検出装置とその呼出検出装置からの呼び出しを報知するときの報知方法との関連付けを医療従事者ができるだけ手間をかけずに行うことができる。【解決手段】 報知方法指定部14で報知方法が指定された状態で、何れかの接続部12に呼出検出装置1が接続されたことが接続検出部16にて検出されると、その接続部12の接続部識別情報と指定されていた報知方法を示す報知方法識別情報とが記憶部15に関連付けて記憶される。これにより、所望の報知方法が指定されている間に医療従事者が複数の接続部12の何れかに呼出検出装置1を接続するだけで、呼出検出装置1が接続された接続部12と報知方法とを関連付けて登録できるので、接続部12に接続される呼出検出装置1の数が多くなっても指定される報知方法の種類が少なければ、それらの関連付けをできるだけ手間をかけずに行うことができる。【選択図】 図1
