To securely annunciate an emergency state even a user of lodging facilities who is handicapped in hearing, seeing, etc., by driving a vibrator with a specific waveform when a signal generating means generates a signal.
For example, if a fire takes place and a fire alarm 8 operates, its no-voltage contact is made and a generated signal S1 is outputted to a 1st detecting circuit 5. The 1st detecting circuit 5 where the generated signal S1 is inputted outputs a detection signal S2 to a discriminating circuit 12. This discriminating circuit 12 outputs a discrimination signal S3 indicating that the fire alarm 8 operates to a waveform generating circuit 13 and a display selecting circuit 13. The waveform generating circuit 13 receiving the discrimination signal S3 outputs a waveform signal S4 having a vibration waveform corresponding to the generated signal S1 of the fire alarm 8 to a 1st vibrator driving circuit 15. Consequently, the 1st vibrator 16a of a vibrator incorporated in the mattress of the bed device vibrates. Its vibration can be bodily sensed by the user who is sleeping.
