Then, the display step is a step of displaying information on the registration device (first registration device 2A) on the display unit 25 based on the information from the electric lock control system 1.

The program according to one embodiment is a program for causing a computer system to execute the above-mentioned communication method.

Hereinafter, modified examples of the embodiments are listed. The modifications described below can be applied in combination as appropriate.

In the above-described embodiment, the management unit 122 obtains information about the first registration device 2A (list of the first registration device 2A) based on the information (confirmation request signal) from the second registration device 2B on the lock side communication unit. Although it is transmitted from 11 to the second registration device 2B, the purpose is not limited to this. For example, the information about the first registration device 2A may include the type of the first registration device 2A. In this case, when the key-side control unit 21 receives the response signal from the key-side communication unit 22, the key-side control unit 21 displays the first registration device 2A on the display unit 25 so as to be arranged by type.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the display unit 25 displays the first icon 61 representing an electronic tag, the second icon 62 representing an IC card, and the third icon 63 representing a mobile terminal side by side in the vertical direction. Then, the display unit 25 displays the identification information 71 of one or more electronic tags registered as the first registration device 2A side by side next to the first icon 61. Further, the display unit 25 displays side by side the identification information 72 of one or more IC cards registered as the first registration device 2A next to the second icon 62. Further, the display unit 25 displays the identification information 73 of one or more mobile terminals registered as the first registration device 2A side by side next to the third icon 63. Here, when the attribute of the user 6 (for example, "father", "sister", etc.) is associated with the identification information 71 to 73, the display unit 25 displays the attribute of the user 6 instead of the identification information 71 to 73. May be displayed.

In the above aspect, the user 6B may delete the registration of the first registration device 2A for each type by performing an operation of selecting any of the first icon 61, the second icon 62, or the third icon 63. It is possible. For example, when the user 6B performs an operation of selecting the first icon 61, the key side control unit 21 sends a deletion request signal requesting deletion of the registration of all the electronic tags registered as the first registration device 2A. , The key side communication unit 22 transmits to the electric lock control system 1. In the electric lock control system 1, when the lock side communication unit 11 receives the deletion request signal, the management unit 122 deletes the registration of all the electronic tags registered as the first registration device 2A.

That is, in the above aspect, the management unit 122 can delete the registration for each type of the first registration device 2A based on the information (deletion request signal) from the second registration device 2B. Therefore, in the above aspect, the user 6B can collectively delete the first registration device 2A for each type, which improves convenience.

Of course, also in the above aspect, the user 6B can delete the first registration device 2A one by one. For example, it is assumed that the user 6B performs an operation of selecting the identification information displayed on the display unit 25 instead of the icons 61 to 63. In this case, the key side control unit 21 transmits a deletion request signal requesting deletion of the registration of the selected first registration device 2A from the key side communication unit 22 to the electric lock control system 1. In the electric lock control system 1, when the lock side communication unit 11 receives the deletion request signal, the management unit 122 deletes the registration of the first registration device 2A specified by the deletion request signal.

In the above-described embodiment, the number of the second registration devices 2B may be one or a plurality. For example, when the electric lock control system 1 is used by a family member, the mobile terminal owned by the father and the mobile terminal owned by the mother may be the second registration device 2B, respectively.

Here, for example, if all the mobile terminals having the display unit 25 in the key device 2 are registered as the first registration device 2A, they may be registered as the second registration device 2B. Further, for example, the mobile terminal having the display unit 25 in the key device 2 may be registered as the second registration device 2B in the order of registration as the first registration device 2A. For example, only the mobile terminal initially registered as the first registration device 2A may be registered as the second registration device 2B. In addition, the mobile terminal having the display unit 25 among the key devices 2 may be registered as the second registration device 2B for the first time when it is registered as the first registration device 2A and the authentication on the server is successful. Authentication on the server is successful, for example, when the management password entered on the mobile terminal matches the password stored on the server.

In the above-described embodiment, when the electric lock control system 1 can communicate with the server, the management unit 122 may be provided in the server or may be the server itself. In this case, the lock-side communication unit 11 may have a function of relaying between the second registration device 2B and the management unit 122. Further, the second registration device 2B may have a function of communicating with the management unit 122 without going through the lock side communication unit 11.

Further, if the key device 2 can communicate with the server via a network such as the Internet, the management unit 122 can also transmit the key information to the unregistered key device 2. In this case, even if the unregistered key device 2 is not in the communication area of the electric lock control system 1, the unregistered key device 2 can be registered as the first registration device 2A. In this case, the management unit 122 does not simply send the key information to the unregistered key device 2, but first, the management unit 122 first sends a signal including a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) for acquiring the key information to the unregistered key device 2. It is preferable to send to 2. Then, it is preferable that the management unit 122 transmits the key information to the unregistered key device 2 on condition that the user 6A who owns the unregistered key device 2 accesses the URL.

In the above-described embodiment, the management unit 122 notifies when the key device 2 whose registration has been deleted is in the communication area of the electric lock control system 1, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the registration is deleted, the management unit 122 may relay the server and notify the key device 2 whose registration has been deleted. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the management unit 122 does not have to notify the key device 2 whose registration has been deleted.

In the above-described embodiment, the management unit 122 may change the registration content based on the information from the second registration device 2B. For example, when a deadline is set for the registration of the first registration device 2A, the management unit 122 may update the deadline of the first registration device 2A based on the information from the second registration device 2B. good.

In the above-described embodiment, the unregistered key device 2 causes the display unit 25 to display an option for selecting whether or not to register when the key signal is received, but the purpose is limited to this. not. For example, if the unregistered key device 2 does not have the display unit 25, the unregistered key device 2 stores the key information when it receives the key signal, and the response signal is the electric lock control system 1. May be sent to. That is, it is arbitrary whether or not the unregistered key device 2 confirms the intention of registration by the user 6A.
