JP2015-113634A

  This type of IC card entrance / exit management system is widely installed in condominiums and the like, and the number of issued IC cards is increasing. In addition, since the user uses the IC card, for example, the IC card is stored in a wallet, carried, carried, and read and authenticated by a card reader, so that a physical load is applied to the IC card. Therefore, it may be damaged due to this load. In such a case, an inquiry about an IC card failure of the entrance / exit management system has occurred from the user to the condominium management company, and the number of such cases has increased in recent years.

  Here, when the IC card cannot be read by the card reader, either the IC card is damaged, or the apartment controller, the home server, the card reader, the door with an electric lock or the like has a failure on the entrance / exit management system side. When investigating the cause, it is necessary to dispatch an engineer (operator in the known technology) of a sales office having jurisdiction to a condominium or the like as in the above-described known technology, and to isolate the failure location on site.

  However, even if it is determined that the failure is not on the entrance / exit management system side but on the IC card side after the field survey, the failure location and the cause of the failure cannot be identified from the appearance of the IC card. Therefore, the user may be asked to investigate the cause of the IC card failure.

  When requested to investigate the cause of the failure of the IC card in this way, the engineer at the sales office creates a defect notice regarding the failure of the IC card and submits it to the quality assurance department. The quality assurance department that has received the defect notice creates an IC card failure cause investigation request form and requests the procurement department to investigate the cause of the IC card failure. The procurement department uses the IC card failure investigation request form based on the failure cause investigation request form. The manufacturer is requested to investigate the cause of the IC card failure.

  When an IC card breaks down, it is necessary to dispatch a technician to an apartment or the like and perform the work of isolating the failed part on site. For this reason, it takes time to investigate the cause of the IC card failure and the user also takes time until it is determined whether the cause is the IC card. On the other hand, it takes time and cost on the management side, and inconvenient time on the user side becomes long, resulting in an obstacle to the convenience of system use.

  Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to isolate the cause of failure on the center server side without dispatching a technician to the site, reduce the burden on the administrator and the user, and improve the convenience of system use. It is in.

  In order to solve the above problems, an aspect of the present invention includes an IC card, a card reader that is connected to a control device and reads information on the IC card, and a center server that is connected to the control device via a communication unit. In the IC card entrance / exit management system that unlocks the electric lock according to the authentication result of the IC card, the center server changes the state of the card reader from the normal mode based on an inquiry from the user. And a mode changing means for changing to a diagnostic mode for diagnosing the IC card, and a judging means for determining whether or not the changed mode is the diagnostic mode, wherein the card reader is in the diagnostic mode. If it is determined that there is, the control device transmits the information of the IC card read from the card reader to the center server. The features.

  According to one aspect of the present invention, it is possible to isolate the cause of failure on the center server side without dispatching a technician to the site, reduce the burden on the administrator and the user, and improve the convenience of using the system. Note that problems, configurations, and effects other than those described above will be clarified in the following description of embodiments.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of the customer center 1 in the IC card entrance / exit management system 100. The customer center 1 includes a center server 11 and a PC (personal computer) 12. The center server 11 includes a controller 13 that controls the server 11, and is connected to the Internet 3 as a network. The controller 13 is a general term for a door opening device that uses at least the IC card 7 in the apartment facility 2 according to the control code received from the PC 12 and a control mechanism related to user authentication. The PC 12 functions as an entrance / exit management system inquiry reception window, and inquiries from users are made to the operator 14 by, for example, a free dial telephone, and the contents are appropriately input to the PC 12. The operator 14 receives a phone call from the user and communicates with the user through a telephone call.

  In this embodiment, the apartment facility 2 is taken as an example, but this type of IC card entrance / exit management system 100 can also be applied to entrance / exit management of a building facility. Therefore, the condominium facility 2 in the following embodiment is not limited to a condominium, and is applicable to all entrance / exit management systems that use the IC card 7 to manage entrance / exit of floors, rooms, etc. in the building facility on the customer center 1 side. Is possible.

  The center server 11 is connected to a plurality of IC card entrance / exit management systems 100 owned by the apartment management company and installed in the apartment facility 2 and the like via a network I / F 136 such as the router 40 via a network such as the Internet 3. The card ID data of the entrance / exit management device 20 of each condominium facility 2 and the entrance / exit passage classification etc. are centrally managed. The entrance / exit passage classification is a classification in which passages, floors, elevator facilities, and the like that can be used or used according to the residence classification of the apartment facility 2 are determined in advance for each resident. The use of each resident is determined so that the resident who does not have the authority to use the resident will not enter.

  The controller 13 includes modules of a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 131, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 132, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 133, an HDD (Hard Disc Drive) 134, a database (DB) 135, and a network I / F 136. Including. The Internet 3 is used for communication between the server 11 and the entrance / exit management device 20 in the apartment facility 2. The entrance / exit management device 20 includes a shared part management device 21 and a dedicated part management device 22.

  The function of each module is as follows. The CPU 131 processes data according to the procedure of the program stored in the ROM 132. The RAM 133 is used as a work memory and a buffer when the CPU 131 processes. The HDD 134 is a large-capacity storage medium that holds large-capacity data in a readable / writable manner. The database 135 holds a large amount of data to be processed by the server 11, for example, information on the entrance / exit management device 20 of each of the plurality of condominium facilities 2, IC card user information, and the like. The network I / F 136 is an interface for the controller 13 to communicate with the entrance / exit management device 20 in the apartment facility 2.

  As described above, the condominium facility 2 is provided with the entrance / exit management device 20. The entrance / exit management device 20 includes a shared portion management device 21 and a dedicated portion management device 22, each of which is provided with an IC card reader. Since the exclusive unit management device 22 is provided for each exclusive unit, there are usually a plurality of exclusive unit management devices 22, but here, a single unit will be described for simplicity.

  The common unit management device 21 includes the condominium controller 5 to which the condominium controller 5, the router 40, the common unit card reader 51, and the common unit electric lock 52 are connected, and is centered via the first hub 41, the router 40, and the Internet 3. It is connected to the controller 13 of the server 11. The exclusive part management device 22 includes the home server 6 to which the exclusive part card reader 61 and the exclusive part electric lock 62 are connected, and the second part 42 installed in the common part management device 21, the router 40, and the Internet 3. Connected to the controller 13 of the center server 11.

  The common part card reader 51 is installed near the entrance outside the entrance hall, which is a common part, for example, and allows the user to read the IC card 7 for entering and leaving the apartment when entering the apartment facility 2. If the user ID stored in the IC card 7 is authenticated by this reading, the shared portion electric lock 52 is unlocked and the user can enter the shared portion. The exclusive card reader 61 is installed in the vicinity of the outside of the door provided with the exclusive electric lock 62 and allows the user to read the IC card 7 for entering and exiting the room. The user ID stored in the IC card 7 is also used. Is authenticated, the exclusive electric lock 62 is unlocked and the user can enter the exclusive part.

  The condominium controller (MC) 5 installed in the common part of the condominium facility 2 and the home server (HS) 6 installed in the exclusive part of the condominium facility 2 are connected to the first and second hubs ( HUB) 41, 42 is a control device connected to the controller 13 of the center server 11. Therefore, when the center server 11 uses the IC card 7 possessed by the user to read and authenticate with the card reader of the other private room where the user does not reside, the center server 11 uses the shared part card reader 51 and the private part card reader 61. Services such as prohibiting use are provided.

  Here, when a user who uses the IC card entrance / exit management system 100 makes a request to purchase a new IC card 7 or to stop the IC card 7 due to loss of the IC card 7, the condominium management business operator The center server 11 managed by can manage the addition of a new ID for the IC card 7 and stop the card ID of the lost IC card 7. When this processing is executed by the center server 11, update processing such as the card ID of the condominium controller 5 of the entrance / exit management device 20 of the condominium facility 2 and the home server 6 is executed via the router 40 or the like on the network such as the Internet 3. The consistency of the ID data of the IC card entrance / exit management system 100 is taken.

  FIG. 3 is a front view showing an example of a card reader. As shown in FIG. 3, the appearance of the shared card reader 51 of the IC card entrance / exit management system 100 includes a card ID reading unit 511, a power supply LED 512, an authentication permission LED 513, and an authentication disabling LED 514. The exclusive card reader 61 is configured similarly.

  The shared card reader 51 is connected to the condominium controller 5 via a communication line, and the exclusive card reader 61 is connected to the home server 6 via a communication line, and power is supplied from the condominium controller 5 and the home server 6 respectively. When normal, the power supply LED 512 is always lit. Further, when the IC card 7 is read and authenticated by the shared card reader 51 or the exclusive card reader 61 and the ID or the like matches, the authentication permission LED 513 is turned on and then turned off. Further, the IC card 7 is read and authenticated by the shared card reader 51 or the exclusive card reader 61, and when the ID or the like does not match, the authentication impossible LED 514 is turned on and then turned off. At this time, if the ID or the like matches, authentication OK is transmitted as the card operation result, and if the ID does not match or cannot be read, authentication NG is transmitted to the center server 11. In this embodiment, information transmitted from the shared card reader 51 to the center server 11 at the time of card authentication is a room number, an IC card number, a card reader number, a card operation result, and a card operation date and time.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for performing failure cause isolation and IC card failure diagnosis executed on the center server 11 side when the operator 14 of the customer center 1 receives an inquiry about an IC card failure from a user. This processing is executed by the operator 14 operating his / her PC 12, and the CPU 131 of the controller 13 of the center server 11 reads out the program stored in the ROM 132 and develops it in the RAM 133 as described above. The program may be stored in the HDD 134, read from the HDD 134, and executed in the same manner. It is also possible to download the program from the outside to the HDD 134 via the Internet 3 and read it by the CPU 131 of the controller 13 and execute it in the same manner.

  In this processing procedure, as shown in FIG. 4, at the inquiry window of the customer center 1 of the condominium management company, the operator 14 receives an inquiry about an IC card failure from the user of the entrance / exit management system by telephone (step S1: Note that In the figure, steps are omitted, and only S is attached). In response to this inquiry, the operator 14 operates the PC 12 to give an entry / exit management device 20 installed in the condominium facility 2 of the user who has inquired from the center server 11 to, for example, a dedicated card such as a living room. The reader 61 and the shared card reader 51 are remotely set to the diagnosis mode (step S2). Here, a process in the case where authentication cannot be performed by the shared card reader 51 will be described.

  Normally, the power supply LED 512 of the shared card reader 51 is always lit. Further, when the IC card 7 is read and authenticated by the shared card reader 51 and the ID or the like matches, the authentication permission LED 513 is turned on and then turned off. Further, when the IC card 7 is read and authenticated by the shared card reader 51 and the ID or the like does not match, the authentication impossible LED 514 is turned on and then turned off. When the shared card reader 51 is set to the diagnosis mode, the authentication permission LED 513 and the authentication disabling LED 514 are always lit. These LEDs 512 to 514 function as display means.

  Next, the operator 14 confirms on the IC card diagnosis screen of the PC 12 of the center server 11 whether or not the authentication permission LED 513 and the authentication disabling LED 514 of the shared unit card reader 51 set in the diagnosis mode in step S2 are always lit. Thereafter, it is confirmed whether or not the state of the LED of the card reader operated by the user, here, the shared unit card reader 51 is switched to the diagnosis mode (step S3). Whether or not the mode has been switched to the diagnosis mode can be confirmed by whether or not the authentication permission LED 513 and the authentication impossible LED 514 have been switched to the constant lighting. This confirmation is a telephone confirmation with the user.

  If the shared-unit card reader 51 to be confirmed does not switch to the diagnosis mode (step S3: N), the center server 11, the Internet 3 connecting the center server 11 and the entrance / exit management device 20 of the apartment facility 2, and the apartment facility 2 The CPU 131 determines that there is an abnormal part in any of the room entrance / exit management devices 20 (step S12). Based on this determination, the operator 14 dispatches a technician to the corresponding condominium facility 2, and investigates the cause of the failure, that is, isolates the system failure (step S13).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3 that the diagnosis mode has been entered, the Internet 3 connecting the center server 11 and the entrance / exit management device 20 and the entrance / exit management device 20 are operating normally. The card reader 51 is switched to the diagnostic mode. When the mode is switched to the diagnosis mode, the authentication permission LED 513 and the authentication impossible LED 514 are always lit (step S4). That is, the condominium controller 5 informs the user through the authentication permission LED 513 and the authentication disabling LED 514 that the shared card reader 51 is in the diagnosis mode.

  The operator 14 confirms to the user by telephone that the authentication permission LED 513 and the authentication disabling LED 514 are always lit. Then, the user is informed of the common unit card reader 51 set in the diagnosis mode with the telephone during the call so as to trick the IC card 7 that has been inquired about the failure, and waits for the user to trick the IC card 7. When the user puts the IC card 7 on the shared card reader 51 set in the diagnostic mode (step S5), the shared card reader 51 reads the IC card 7, in other words, stored in the IC card 7. The aforementioned room number, IC card number, card reader number, card operation result, and card operation date and time are transmitted as diagnostic data to the center server 11 (step S6).

  When the center server 11 receives the diagnosis data from the shared unit card reader 51, the CPU 131 of the controller 13 executes a failure diagnosis for the IC card 7 based on the diagnosis data, and stores the result in the database 135 (step S7). Next, on the IC card diagnosis screen of the PC operated by the operator 14 of the center server 11, the diagnosis result of the IC card, for example, whether or not the IC card 7 has failed is displayed (step S8). If the IC card 7 is normal (step S8: normal), the center server 11 turns off the authentication disabled LED 514 of the shared card reader 51 and keeps the authentication permission LED 513 always on. Thereby, it is displayed from the LED display of the shared part card reader 51 that the IC card 7 is normal (step S9).

  Regarding LED display, there is a method of distinguishing normality and failure by color coding, but in that case, it is necessary to replace the LED and the card reader. However, if the display is made by converting the lighting state of the LED, there is no need to change the equipment, so there is no cost related to the equipment and it is possible to smoothly shift to the IC card entrance / exit management system 100 according to the present embodiment. It becomes.

  Further, the shared card reader 51 holding the IC card 7 informs the user by voice that the IC card 7 is normal (step S10). Alternatively, in addition to this, if the telephone is busy, the operator 14 informs the IC card 7 that there is no abnormality. At this time, since the IC card entrance / exit management system 100 is normal and the IC card 7 is also diagnosed as normal, it is determined that there is a problem in the way of placing the IC card 7 on the shared card reader 51 when entering the room. That is, since there is a possibility that the position where the IC card 7 is held or the distance from the card ID reading unit 511 is out of the reading range, when the user places the IC card 7 on the common unit card reader 51 You may make it tell to confirm the position etc. Then, the diagnostic mode set in step S2 is switched to the normal mode, and the mode is shifted to the normal card reading mode (step S11).

  In any case, when the IC card 7 cannot be authenticated by the center server 11 after the user has read the IC card 7 by the shared card reader 51, the IC card entrance / exit management system 100 is normal, the IC card 7 The reason why the authentication cannot be performed when it is diagnosed as normal is considered to be caused by the poor reading of the IC card 7. Therefore, confirmation of the position where the IC card 7 is held is requested, and reading is performed under predetermined reading conditions.

  On the other hand, if it is an authentication error, the card operation result of the diagnostic data sent from the shared card reader 51 is authentication NG. The center server 11 determines that the IC card 7 is out of order when the sent diagnostic data includes the card operation result: authentication NG (step S8: Abnormal). In the shared card reader 51, the authentication permission LED 513 is turned off. Further, the authentication impossible LED 514 is always kept in a lighting state. In this way, the shared card reader 51 displays that the IC card 7 is “NG” (step S14). In addition, the shared section card reader 51 that the user puts on the IC card 7 informs the user that the IC card 7 is broken by voice (step S15). Alternatively, the operator 14 at the entrance / exit management system inquiry reception window may notify the user again that the IC card 7 is out of order via a telephone call.

  In step 13, when the predetermined time has elapsed, the shared card reader 51 that has been set to the diagnosis mode from the center server 11 is changed from the diagnosis mode to the normal mode, and the authentication permission LED 513 and the authentication disabling LED 514 are turned off. In this way, the diagnosis mode is automatically switched to the normal mode, and forgetting to return the setting is suppressed.

  By processing in this way, the diagnostic mode is implemented in the card reader as described above, so that the system and the IC card failure can be separated in a short time. In addition, the user can check the presence or absence of an IC card failure with a card reader of an apartment, etc., and the number of dispatches for a sales office engineer to investigate the cause of the failure to the site such as an apartment can be reduced, thereby improving the work.

  In the present embodiment, the case where authentication is performed by the shared card reader 51 has been described. However, when authentication is performed by the dedicated card reader 61, authentication OK, authentication NG, Any information indicating no response is sent to the center server 11. At that time, in the case of authentication OK or authentication NG, the exclusive unit card reader 61 displays an LED as in the shared unit card reader 51. If there is no response, for example, a command indicating no response is returned to the center server 11 and a display of “no response” is displayed on the display screen of the PC 12 so that the operator 14 can understand the situation. Other processes are the same as those in the shared card reader 51. In addition, although there are a plurality of exclusive portions in the apartment facility 2, as described above, a single unit is described in the present embodiment. Furthermore, as described above, the apartment center 2 monitored or managed by the customer center 1 includes a plurality of building facilities.

  As described above, if the present invention is adapted to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
