1. An information transmission system using a bell, comprising first and second bell devices that are mutually connected to a communication network,
each of the first and the second bell devices integrally including:
a bell;
a transmitter-receiver;
a manual actuator that is manually operated by an operator and actuates the bell;
a sensor that detects sound or vibration of the bell;
a controller that analyzes characteristics of ways of ringing the bell by the operator based on an output from the sensor;
a memory that stores operation information including analyzed information obtained from the manual actuator and analyzed by the controller and ID information corresponding to the analyzed information;
an input apparatus that inputs person information to whom information is to be transmitted by the transmitter-receiver, and
wherein the controller determines the ID information corresponding to a certain operator among the ID information recorded in the memory when the certain operator rings the bell, based on the analyzed information analyzed by the controller, and
wherein the transmitter-receiver of one of the first and second bell devices outputs the ID information determined by the controller to the transmitter-receiver of the other of the first and second bell devices, and
wherein in response to the transmitter-receiver of the one of the first and second bell devices outputting the ID information to the transmitter-receiver of the other of the first and second bell devices, the electronic vibrator of the other of the first and second bell devices rings the bell located at the other of the first and second bell devices.
