Next, in the server transmission unit 232, the plurality of wireless device IDs of at least a part of the acquired plurality of wireless device IDs and the plurality of wireless device IDs of at least a part of the specified plurality of wireless device IDs are combined. Determine if you are doing it. A case where [MA1], [MA2] and [MA4] are acquired as wireless device IDs will be specifically described as an example. The server transmission unit 232 is stored in the [MA1], [MA2], and [MA3] in which a part of the acquired [MA1], [MA2], and [MA4] is stored in association with the tracker ID as a wireless device ID. Determine if it matches a part. In this case, in the server transmission unit 232, the acquired wireless device IDs [MA1] and [MA2] match the stored wireless device IDs [MA1] and [MA2]. Then it is determined.

Then, the server transmission unit 232 transmits an unlocking instruction when at least a part of the wireless device IDs match. On the other hand, the server transmission unit 232 does not transmit the unlock instruction when there is no wireless device ID that matches the acquired plurality of wireless device IDs among the specified plurality of wireless device IDs.

By the way, the intensity of the radio wave output by the wireless device increases as it approaches the wireless device. Therefore, the server transmission unit 232 may transmit an unlock instruction when the strength of the radio wave propagating the signal including the wireless device ID is equal to or higher than the unlock permission lower limit value. For example, the server transmission unit 232 transmits an unlock instruction when the radio wave intensity of the wireless device ID corresponding to the tracker ID is equal to or higher than the unlock permission lower limit value. By doing so, the server transmission unit 232 can unlock the electronic lock 3 when the GPS tracker 1 approaches the home H1 even in a situation where the GPS tracker 1 cannot transmit the position information.

The radio field strength of the router 41 (see FIG. 1) acquired by the GPS tracker 1 is greater when the GPS tracker 1 is inside the home H1 than when the GPS tracker 1 is outside the home H1. Therefore, when the unlocking instruction is transmitted only on the condition that the radio wave strength of the router 41 is equal to or higher than the unlocking permission lower limit value, the unlocking instruction of the electronic lock 3 is issued even if the GPS tracker 1 is in the home H1 due to an erroneous operation. There is a concern that it will be sent.

Therefore, the server transmission unit 232 may transmit an unlocking instruction when the radio wave strength is equal to or less than the unlocking permission upper limit value larger than the unlocking permission lower limit value. Specifically, the server transmission unit 232 transmits an unlocking instruction when the acquired radio wave strength is included in the unlocking permission strength range from the unlocking permission lower limit value or more to the unlocking permission upper limit value or less. do. The server transmission unit 232 does not transmit the unlock instruction when the radio wave strength is out of the unlock permission strength range.

FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the unlocking permission strength range of each wireless device. The horizontal axis of FIG. 6 indicates the strength of radio waves. The unlocking permission strength range L1 is the unlocking permission strength range associated with the wireless device ID [MA1], and is from the unlocking permission lower limit value D1 or more to the unlocking permission upper limit value D2 or less. The unlocking permission strength range L2 is the unlocking permission strength range associated with the wireless device ID [MA2], and is from the unlocking permission lower limit value D3 or more to the unlocking permission upper limit value D4 or less.

The unlocking permission range is set according to, for example, the radio wave intensity at the time of registration measured at the time of registration of each wireless device ID. For example, the server transmission unit 232 sets an unlocking permission range including the radio wave strength at the time of registration. Specifically, the server transmission unit 232 sets an unlocking permission range in a predetermined range centered on the radio wave strength at the time of registration. The predetermined range is, for example, ± 50% of the radio field intensity at the time of registration. The server storage unit 22 stores the set unlocking permission range in association with the wireless device ID.

The server transmission unit 232 transmits, for example, an unlock instruction when the value acquired as the radio wave strength of the wireless device ID [MA1] of the router 41 is included in the unlock permission strength range L1. Specifically, first, the server transmission unit 232 specifies the unlock permission strength range L1 of the wireless device ID [MA1] with reference to the server storage unit 22. Subsequently, the server transmission unit 232 determines whether or not the value acquired as the radio wave strength of the wireless device ID [MA1] is included in the specified unlock permission strength range L1. The server transmission unit 232 transmits an unlock instruction when the value acquired as the radio wave intensity of the wireless device ID [MA1] is included in the unlock permission intensity range L1, and does not transmit the unlock instruction when the value is not included.

When the radio wave strengths of a plurality of wireless device IDs are acquired, the server transmission unit 232 transmits an unlocking instruction on condition that the radio wave strength of each wireless device ID is included in the unlock permission strength range of each wireless device ID. do. In the example of FIG. 6, in the server transmission unit 232, the radio wave strength of the wireless device ID [MA1] is included in the unlocking permission strength range L1, and the radio wave strength of the wireless device ID [MA2] is the unlocking permission strength range. If it is included in L2, an unlocking instruction is transmitted. The server transmission unit 232 does not transmit the unlock instruction when at least one of the radio wave strengths of each wireless device ID is not included in the unlock permission strength range.

As described above, the server transmission unit 232 transmits the unlocking instruction when the radio wave intensity acquired by the GPS tracker 1 is near the home H1 and is a value that can be acquired outdoors (for example, in front of the entrance) of the home H1. As a result, the server transmission unit 232 can unlock the electronic lock 3 when the user U of the GPS tracker 1 returns home to the home H1. Further, the server transmission unit 232 does not transmit the unlock instruction when the radio wave strength acquired by the GPS tracker 1 is a value that can be acquired indoors at home H1. Therefore, the server transmission unit 232 can prevent the user U from unlocking the electronic lock 3 due to an erroneous operation when he / she is in the home H1.

The server transmission unit 232 issues an unlock instruction when the transmission time when the wireless device ID is transmitted from the GPS tracker 1 or the reception time when the server communication unit 21 receives the wireless device ID and the tracker ID satisfy the unlocking condition. You may send it. In this case, first, the server transmission unit 232 specifies the return home period of the acquired wireless device ID with reference to the server storage unit 22 (see FIG. 5). Specifically, the server transmission unit 232 specifies the current day of the week, and specifies the specified day of the week and the return time corresponding to the acquired tracker ID. As an example, when the current day of the week is Monday, the server transmission unit 232 specifies [14:00 to 18:00] as the return time of the tracker ID [123].

Subsequently, the server transmission unit 232 determines whether or not the transmission time or the reception time is within the specified return home period. When the transmission time or the reception time is within the return home period, the server transmission unit 232 transmits the unlock instruction when the stored wireless device ID is included in the acquired wireless device ID. When the transmission time or the reception time is outside the return home period, the server transmission unit 232 does not transmit the unlock instruction even if the acquired wireless device ID includes the stored wireless device ID. The fact that the wireless device ID or the like is transmitted from the GPS tracker 1 outside the time of returning home is assumed to be an erroneous operation by the user or an illegal operation by a third party. Therefore, by performing control based on the time information as described above, the server transmission unit 232 can suppress, for example, the user U from transmitting the unlocking instruction at midnight or early morning when it is considered that the user U is in the home H1. Security is improved.

The server transmission unit 232 may change the unlocking conditions according to the transmission time or the reception time. For example, the server transmission unit 232 increases the number of unlocking conditions in the nighttime zone to be larger than the number of unlocking conditions in the daytime zone. As an example, when the transmission time or the reception time is included in the daytime, the server transmission unit 232 transmits the unlock instruction when the stored wireless device ID is included in the acquired wireless device ID. do. The daytime time zone is, for example, from 8:00 to 17:00.

When the transmission time or the reception time is included in the night time zone, the server transmission unit 232 transmits the unlock instruction based on the position of the GPS tracker 1. Specifically, the server transmission unit 232 issues an unlock instruction when the acquired wireless device ID includes the wireless device ID stored in advance and the position of the GPS tracker 1 is within the unlock permission range. Send. More specifically, the server transmission unit 232 transmits an unlock instruction when the position of the GPS tracker 1 is included in the range excluding the indoor area of the home H1 from the unlock permission range. By changing the unlocking condition between the daytime time zone and the nighttime time zone in this way, it is possible to prevent the unlocking instruction from being transmitted during the nighttime time zone when the user U is indoors.

The server transmission unit 232 may transmit an unlock instruction when the position of the GPS tracker 1 is within the unlock permission range including the home H1. FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a process of transmitting an unlocking instruction when the position of the GPS tracker 1 is within the unlocking permission range R including the home H1. For example, when the position of the GPS tracker 1 is the position P1 within the unlock permission range R, the server transmission unit 232 transmits an unlock instruction. Specifically, the server transmission unit 232 includes the wireless device ID stored in the acquired wireless device ID, and the position indicated by the position information acquired together with the wireless device ID is a position within the unlock permission range R. If it is P1, an unlocking instruction is transmitted. When the position of the GPS tracker 1 is outside the unlock permission range R, the server transmission unit 232 does not transmit the unlock instruction even if the acquired wireless device ID includes the stored wireless device ID.

By doing so, the server transmission unit 232 can unlock the electronic lock 3 when the user U returns home and is near the home H1. Further, even if the server transmission unit 232 acquires the registered wireless device ID, the user U still returns home because the unlock instruction is not transmitted when the position of the GPS tracker 1 is far from the home H1. It is possible to prevent the electronic lock 3 from being unlocked when it is not available.

The server transmission unit 232 transmits an unlocking instruction according to the operation information acquired by the server acquisition unit 231. For example, the server transmission unit 232 transmits an unlocking instruction to the electronic lock 3 when the second operation information is acquired. When the server transmission unit 232 acquires the first operation information, the server transmission unit 232 transmits the position information indicating the position of the GPS tracker 1 to the smartphone used by the administrator of the GPS tracker 1 without transmitting the unlock instruction to the electronic lock 3. do. By doing so, the server transmission unit 232 can unlock the electronic lock 3 when the user U performs the second operation for unlocking the electronic lock 3 with respect to the GPS tracker 1. When an operation other than the second operation is performed, the electronic lock 3 is not unlocked. As a result, the server transmission unit 232 can prevent the electronic lock 3 from being unlocked due to an operation error of the user U.

When transmitting the unlocking instruction, the server transmission unit 232 may transmit a start instruction for operating a device (for example, an air conditioner or a lighting) installed in the home H1. In this case, the server storage unit 22 stores the identification information of the device that transmits the start instruction in association with the tracker ID. Further, the server storage unit 22 may store a device for transmitting a start instruction in association with each one or more start instruction transmission periods. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a device that transmits a start instruction during each start instruction transmission period. The server transmission unit 232 specifies the start instruction transmission period including the transmission time or the reception time, and transmits the start instruction of the device associated with the specified start instruction transmission period. As an example, when the transmission time is 18:00, the server transmission unit 232 identifies that the transmission time is included in the start instruction transmission period [17:00 to 9:00], and instructs the air conditioner and the lamp to start. To send. The server transmission unit 232 may send a start instruction to the device to be started, or may send a start instruction to another device that controls the device.

When the user U goes out, there is a concern that he forgets to lock the lock provided in the home H1. Therefore, the server transmission unit 232 transmits a lock instruction for locking the electronic lock 3 when the GPS tracker 1 leaves the home H1. For example, when the server transmission unit 232 specifies that the position of the GPS tracker 1 is outside the unlock permission range R, the server transmission unit 232 transmits a lock instruction. Specifically, the server transmission unit 232 identifies whether or not the position of the GPS tracker 1 has changed from within the unlock permission range R to outside the unlock permission range R, and locks according to the specification. Send instructions. As an example, the server transmission unit 232 transmits a lock instruction when it is specified that the position P21 within the unlock permission range R has changed to the position P22 outside the unlock permission range R as shown in FIG. .. By doing so, the server transmission unit 232 can lock the electronic lock 3 even if the user U forgets to lock it when going out, so that the crime prevention property of the home H1 can be enhanced.

[Flow of processing for unlocking the electronic lock 3 executed by the electronic lock management server 2]
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the process of unlocking the electronic lock 3 executed by the electronic lock management server 2. The flowchart of FIG. 9 is executed when the server communication unit 21 receives the tracker ID and the wireless device ID from the GPS tracker 1.

The server transmission unit 232 determines whether or not the acquired at least one wireless device ID is included in the specified at least one wireless device ID (step S3). Specifically, the server transmission unit 232 has a plurality of wireless device IDs of at least a part of the acquired plurality of wireless device IDs and a plurality of wireless device IDs of at least a part of the specified plurality of wireless device IDs. Determine if they match. If they do not match (No in step S3), the server transmission unit 232 ends the process without transmitting the unlock instruction.

When the acquired wireless device ID is included in the specified wireless device ID (Yes in step S3), the server acquisition unit 231 acquires the position of the GPS tracker 1 (step S4). Specifically, the server acquisition unit 231 acquires the position of the GPS tracker 1 indicated by the position information received by the server communication unit 21 from the GPS tracker 1.

The server transmission unit 232 determines whether or not the position of the GPS tracker 1 acquired by the server acquisition unit 231 is within the unlock permission range R (step S5). Specifically, the server transmission unit 232 refers to the server storage unit 22 to determine whether or not the position of the GPS tracker 1 is included in the unlock permission range R including the position of the home H1 associated with the tracker ID. judge. When the position of the GPS tracker 1 is outside the unlock permission range R (No in step S5), the server transmission unit 232 ends the process without transmitting the unlock instruction.

When the position of the GPS tracker 1 is within the unlock permission range R (Yes in step S5), the server acquisition unit 231 acquires the radio wave strength of the wireless device ID (step S6). Specifically, the server acquisition unit 231 acquires the radio wave strength of each of the plurality of wireless device IDs.

The server transmission unit 232 determines whether or not the radio wave strength acquired by the server acquisition unit 231 is equal to or greater than the unlocking permission lower limit value (step S7). For example, the server transmission unit 232 specifies the unlocking permission lower limit value of each wireless device ID, and determines whether or not the acquired radio wave strength is equal to or higher than the specified unlocking permission lower limit value (see FIG. 6). When the acquired radio wave strength is less than the specified unlocking permission lower limit value (No in step S7), the server transmitting unit 232 ends the process without transmitting the unlocking instruction.

When the acquired radio wave strength is equal to or higher than the specified unlocking permission lower limit value (Yes in step S7), the server transmitting unit 232 transmits an unlocking instruction (step S8). Specifically, the server transmission unit 232 identifies the electronic lock ID stored in association with the tracker ID acquired together with the wireless device ID, and transmits an unlocking instruction to the electronic lock 3 corresponding to the specified electronic lock ID. ..

[Effect of electronic lock management server 2]
As described above, the electronic lock management server 2 according to the embodiment stores in advance a wireless device ID that can be acquired when the GPS tracker 1 is in the vicinity of the home H1 in association with the tracker ID of the GPS tracker 1.
