When the door controller 430 senses a visitor within a preset time, that is, when sensing information is received (S285), a control signal for opening the door can be output to the door to open the door (S286).

On the other hand, the door controller 430 can cancel the standby mode if the sensing information for the visitor detection is not received within a predetermined time (when the visitor is out of the predetermined distance from the predetermined distance door) (S287). That is, the door does not open. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a person who is not granted another access right from entering.

Next, the door opening / closing apparatus 400 may transmit the door opening of step S286 and the door closing of step S287 to the server 300 as door state information (S288). Accordingly, the server 300 can manage and monitor the state of the door.

Next, the server 300 terminates temporary visitor registration of the visitor terminal 200 (S300) and terminates the registration of the visitor terminal 200 when the temporary access permission time set by the administrator terminal 100 ends (S290) (Access right end notification message) indicating that the access right has been terminated (S310).

The message transmitted from the server 300 may be a command message for generating a notification informing the visitor terminal 200 of the access right end. The notification generated at the visitor terminal 200 may be provided in the form of Local Notifications.

Accordingly, the access right of the specific place is terminated and the access is limited. If the user desires access, the visitor can be authorized to access the administrator terminal 100 by re-executing the access authorization request process and registering the temporary accessist.

Accordingly, the administrator can control the access of the visitor remotely, and the visitor is allowed to access the authorized area such as the administrator without any special operation by being granted the access right of the administrator within the allowable access time at the time of registering the temporary access.

1 to 6 are merely the main points of the present invention. As various designs can be made within the technical scope of the present invention, the present invention is limited to the configurations of Figs. 1 to 6 It is self-evident.
