The user authentication unit 52 outputs, to the signal transmission / reception unit 51, operation instruction information for controlling the authentication state so as to match the condition of the second correspondence table to the user registered in the first correspondence table as a result of the collation.

Specifically, the user authentication unit 52 determines in the first correspondence table whether or not the information of the identification number for which the operation is permitted is registered in advance, and the reading period matches the condition of the second correspondence table. It is determined whether to do. For example, when the user authentication unit 52 is an identification number for which the operation has been permitted in advance and the reading period is equal to or longer than the first predetermined period, the user authentication unit 52 determines "authentication". The "authentication" of the corresponding identification number is notified to the part 40.

When the user authentication unit 52 is an identification number permitted to operate in advance, has already been authenticated, and the reading period of the same identification number is equal to or longer than the second predetermined period, the user authentication unit 52 Then, the signal transmission / reception unit 51 notifies the control panel control unit 40 of “cancellation of authentication” of the corresponding identification number.
The user authentication unit 52 is an identification number whose operation has been permitted in advance, and a reading period of another identification number different from the identification number already authenticated is at least a third predetermined period longer than the first predetermined period. If there is any, it is determined that “authentication change” is performed to replace the identification number to be authenticated, and the signal transmission / reception unit 51 notifies the control panel control unit 40 of “authentication change” of the corresponding identification number. When a new identification number is detected for a third predetermined period of time or more in comparison with the identification number under authentication, the new identification number is authenticated, so that the authentication is made first. It is not necessary to de-authenticate the identification number that was inside.

The machine control unit 53 operates the mechanical parking device 10 based on the operation instruction information received by the signal transmission / reception unit 51. The machine control unit 53 outputs the operating state of the mechanical parking device 10 to the signal transmitting / receiving unit 51 as an operating state signal.

The storage unit 54 stores various programs and data executed by the control device 50.
The storage unit 54 stores a first correspondence table in which user information to be authenticated is registered, and a second correspondence table in which an authentication state corresponding to a reading period of an identification number is set by the timer unit 44. The first predetermined period may be longer than the period during which the IC card reader 301 can identify the identification number.
Specifically, when (i) information indicating that the identification number has been counted for a first predetermined period is received from the signal transmission / reception unit 43, the identification number is authenticated, and (ii) the identification number is being authenticated while being authenticated. When the information indicating that the identification number of 2nd time has been counted is received, the identification number is deauthorized, and (iii) the identification number different from the identification number being authenticated is already identified during identification number verification. When information indicating that timekeeping has been received for a third predetermined period longer than the predetermined period, information such as changing the identification number to be authenticated corresponds to the authentication status of the information of the predetermined period and the identification number in the second correspondence table. It is attached.

The first predetermined period and the second predetermined period may be the same period or different periods. For example, in the present embodiment, the first predetermined period and the second predetermined period are each 500 milliseconds.
The third predetermined period is used, for example, when changing the manager, and taking into consideration that the manager positively identifies that the manager is switched with an intention, It is preferable to set the time longer than the predetermined period and the second predetermined period. In the present embodiment, the third predetermined period is, for example, one second.
However, the above-described numerical values are an example in the case of describing the present embodiment, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

The touch panel 305 is an operation means for inputting an instruction of the mechanical operation of the mechanical parking device 10 by the user when the authentication based on the identification number read by the IC card reader 301 is successful. More specifically, the touch panel 305 allows the user to input an instruction of a mechanical operation such as an authentication operation, opening and closing of the automatic door 34a, and activation of a lift.

9, when the IC card 60 enters the readable range X of the identification number of the IC card reader 301, the control unit 50 reads the identification number (indicated as "ID" in FIG. 9) read from the IC card reader 301. It is a schematic diagram of a mode that it outputs to.
In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the identification number of the IC card 60 is output to the control device 50 at the timing shown in FIG. Specifically, when the administrator performs an operation such as holding the IC card 60 over the IC card reader 301, the IC card 60 enters the range of the readable range of the IC card reader 301. The IC card reader 301 reads the identification number of the IC card 60 periodically transmitted from the transmitter of the IC card 60, and the reading period of the identification number after the IC card 60 enters the area is counted. There is. When the IC card 60 is out of service area of the readable range, that is, when the IC card reader 301 can not read the identification number from the IC card 60, the reading period when counting the identification number of the IC card 60 ( The information on the stagnation time) and the information on the read identification number are output from the IC card reader 301 to the control device 50.

Conventionally, the identification number is sent from the IC card reader to the control device at a timing at which the identification number can be identified after the IC card enters the range where the IC card reader can read. Therefore, referring to FIG. 10 as an example, conventionally, the IC card reader detects the identification number of the IC card at the initial stage of the arrow directed from the IC card to the IC card reader, that is, at the timing of the leftmost arrow. At the same time, the identification number was sent to the control device.

Hereinafter, the control method of the card reader system 100 according to the present embodiment will be described in order of authentication, cancellation of authentication, and switching of authentication.
First, the procedure in which the administrator A is authenticated will be described using FIGS. 11 to 16. The case of loading the vehicle will be described below with reference to FIGS. 11, 12, 13 and 14. 13 and 14 are diagrams for explaining the relationship between a car, a person, and a mechanical parking device at the time of receipt of the vehicle.
When storing a vehicle, a driver who tries to store the vehicle in the mechanical parking device 10 moves the vehicle to the front of the mechanical parking device 10 (vertical parking). The manager A of the mechanical parking device 10 guides the vehicle. The receipt indicator light of the mechanical parking device 10 is displayed as "forward" (or "back") until the vehicle is received at the appropriate position, and when it is detected that the vehicle is placed at the appropriate position, " “Stop” is displayed, and the driver confirms that the vehicle is properly placed and stops the vehicle. The driver and the passenger of the vehicle get off, move to the parking lot entrance 1, 9 and retreat from the storage stop space 2.

When the IC card reader 301 is activated by the control device 50, an authentication screen of "Please touch the IC card" is displayed on the touch panel 305, and the backlight of the IC card reader 301 turns blue, and the IC The identification number of the card 60 can be read (step SA1 in FIG. 11). The administrator A causes the IC card reader 301 to read the identification number of the IC card 60 for a first predetermined period (for example, 500 milliseconds) or more. For example, after touching the IC card 60 for 500 milliseconds or more on the IC card reader 301, the IC card 60 is removed from the detection range of the IC card reader 301. At the timing when the IC card 60 is removed from the detection range of the IC card reader 301, the IC card reader 301 notifies the control device 50 of the identification number of the IC card 60 and the information of the reading period (dwelling time).
By controlling the activation of the IC card reader 301 by the control device 50, it is possible to prevent unintended erroneous operation and unintended authentication.

When the control device 50 authenticates, the backlight of the IC card reader 301 turns on green, and a buzzer sounds every time the first predetermined period elapses (step SA2 in FIG. 11). Once authenticated, the touch panel 305 displays the authorized administrator name "Mr. A". As described above, by feeding back the reading status of the IC card 60 by the color display of the backlight and the buzzer, the administrator can easily grasp whether or not the authentication is properly performed.
Here, the method of causing the IC card reader 301 to read the identification number of the IC card 60 causes the IC card 60 to contact and touch the IC card reader 301, hold the IC card 60 over the IC card reader 301, etc. Any method can be used as long as it can be read, and the method is not particularly limited.

When the authentication is completed, a screen urging the parking ticket reader 302 to insert a parking ticket is displayed on the touch panel 305 as “Please insert a parking ticket”, and the shutter 303 is opened. The administrator inserts the parking ticket associated with the incoming vehicle into the parking ticket reader 302. On the touch panel 305, “Ready for storage preparation” is displayed, the storage reservation process of the mechanical parking device 10 proceeds, and the storage elevator 3 is moved to the storage stop space 2.
When the elevator 3 for warehousing arrives at the parking space 2 for warehousing, the driver or the passenger who makes the vehicle warehousing confirms that there is no person in the vehicle, and then the driver or the passenger makes the vehicle warehousing. Unmanned confirmation button is pressed. When the control device 50 detects that the “unmanned person confirmation” button is pressed, the control device 50 stops reading the identification number of the IC card of the IC card reader 301 (step SA3 in FIG. 11).

Since the predetermined area of the storage space 2 is photographed by the camera 35 and the state thereof is displayed on the monitor 304, the administrator A monitors the monitor 304 appropriately. When warehousing elevator 3 arrives at warehousing stop space 2, control device 50 activates IC card reader 301. On the touch panel 305, “Operation requires authentication” is displayed, and the backlight of the IC card reader 301 is lit in blue and is in a readable state (step SA4 in FIG. 12).

After the administrator A confirms the safety on the monitor 304, the administrator A causes the IC card reader 301 to read the IC card 60 for 500 milliseconds or more. For example, after touching the IC card 60 for 500 milliseconds or more on the IC card reader 301, the IC card 60 is removed from the detection range of the IC card reader 301. At the timing when the IC card 60 is removed from the detection range of the IC card reader 301, the IC card reader 301 notifies the control device 50 of the identification number of the IC card 60 and the reading period. When the control device 50 authenticates, the IC card reader 301 lights up in green to confirm that the authentication has been made. “Please check the safety on the screen with the monitor” is displayed on the touch panel 305, and the manager A confirms that there is no person in the stop space 2 for storage, and then presses the safety confirmation button (step SA5 in FIG. 12). ).

Since "Please confirm safety in the hall with monitor" is displayed on the touch panel 305, the caretaker A confirms the monitor 304, and after confirming the safety of the parking space 2 for storage again, the "start" button Is pressed (step SA6 in FIG. 12).
The compartment door that separates the storage stop space 2 from the storage shelf is opened, the vehicle is traversed and stored, and the compartment door that separates the storage stop space 2 from the storage shelf is closed. The vehicle is then stored in the storage rack.
Since the parking ticket is discharged from the operation panel 30, the administrator A delivers the parking ticket to the driver or the passenger. The driver or the passenger leaves the control panel 30.

Subsequently, the case of leaving the vehicle will be described with reference to FIGS. 11, 12, 15, and 16. FIG. FIGS. 15 and 16 are diagrams for explaining the relationship between a car, a person, and a mechanical parking device at the time of leaving the vehicle.
The driver or a passenger settles the charge with a checkout machine, etc., and delivers a parking ticket to manager A.
“Authentication is required for operation” is displayed on the touch panel 305 (step SA1 in FIG. 11), so the IC card reader 301 is caused to read the IC card 60 for a predetermined period (for example, 500 milliseconds) (FIG. 11). Step SA2).
Since the shutter 303 of the parking ticket reader 302 opens on the touch panel 305, the parking ticket is inserted. The caretaker A inserts the parking ticket received from the driver or the passenger into the parking ticket reader 302.

In the mechanical parking device 10, the delivery reservation process proceeds, the delivery elevator 8 is moved to the delivery stop space 7, and the parking ticket is discharged.
On the delivery guidance display or on the touch panel 305 of the operation panel, “delivery preparation in progress” is displayed.
When the leaving elevator 8 arrives, a screen prompting for authentication is displayed, and the administrator A touches the IC card reader 301 (step SA4 in FIG. 12).
The touch panel 305 displays a message "Please confirm the safety on the monitor with the monitor" prompting safety confirmation, so the administrator A confirms the stop space 7 for delivery on the monitor 304 and "safety confirmation" The button is pressed (step SA5 in FIG. 12).
Since "Please confirm safety in the hall with monitor" is displayed on the touch panel 305, the caretaker A confirms the monitor 304 and confirms the safety of the delivery stopping space 7 again, and then the "start" button Is pressed (step SA6 in FIG. 12).

A compartment door for separating the delivery stopping space 7 and the storage shelf is opened, the vehicle is laterally fed, the vehicle is taken out of the storage shelf, and a compartment door for separating the delivery stopping space 7 and the storage shelf is closed.
The caretaker A guides the driver and the passenger to the exit space 7 for exit, the driver and the passenger board the vehicle, and then the vehicle exits the exit space 7 for exit.

Next, a method of canceling the authentication will be described using FIGS. 17 and 18. The cancellation of the authentication according to the present embodiment is positively and promptly performed. The description of the parts common to the explanation of the authentication is omitted, and the different parts are mainly described.
“Touch the IC card” is displayed on the touch panel 305, a screen prompting “Authentication is required for operation” is displayed, and the backlight of the IC card reader 301 lights blue (Fig. 17). Step SB1).
When the IC card 60 is touched for a first predetermined period (for example, 500 milliseconds) or more, the IC card reader 301 is authenticated, and the backlight of the IC card reader 301 turns green (step SB2 in FIG. 17).
When the backlight of the IC card reader 301 lights up in green and the IC card 60 is recognized by the IC card reader 301, the same IC card 60 is again used for the second predetermined period (for example, 500 milliseconds) or more. When the card reader 301 reads it, the authentication is cancelled. When the authentication is canceled, step SB1 of FIG. 17 is performed to return to the state in which no one is authenticated.

Further, after completion of the authentication in step SB2, when the unmanned confirmation is displayed on the touch panel 305 (step SB3 in FIG. 17), the same IC card 60 again for the second predetermined period (for example, 500 milliseconds) or more. When the IC card reader 301 is touched, the authentication is cancelled. When the authentication is canceled, step SB1 of FIG. 17 is performed to return to the state in which no one is authenticated.
Further, after the delivery elevator 8 arrives at the delivery stopping space 7, the touch panel 305 displays that the operation requires authentication (step SB4 in FIG. 18).
After the manager A confirms the safety on the monitor 304, the manager A causes the IC card reader 301 to read the IC card 60 for a first predetermined period (for example, 500 milliseconds). “Please confirm safety in the monitoring place” is displayed on the touch panel 305 (step SB5 in FIG. 18).
If the same IC card 60 is touched again on the IC card reader 301 for a second predetermined period (for example, 500 milliseconds) or more, the authentication is cancelled. When the authentication is canceled, step SB4 in FIG. 18 is performed, and the state returns to the state where no one has been authenticated.

Further, if the authentication has not been canceled in step SB5, the touch panel 305 displays “Please check the safety on the floor with the monitor” (step SB6 in FIG. 18). At this time, when the same IC card 60 is touched again on the IC card reader 301 for a second predetermined period (for example, 500 milliseconds) or more, the authentication is canceled. When the authentication is canceled, step SB4 in FIG. 18 is performed, and the state returns to the state where no one has been authenticated.

A compartment door for separating the delivery stopping space 7 and the storage shelf is opened, the vehicle is laterally fed, the vehicle is taken out of the storage shelf, and a compartment door for separating the delivery stopping space 7 and the storage shelf is closed.
The caretaker A guides the driver and the passenger to the exit space 7 for exit, the driver and the passenger board the vehicle, and then the vehicle exits the exit space 7 for exit.
As described above, the authentication is positively canceled by causing the IC card reader 301 to read the IC card 60 in a period longer than a predetermined period from the authenticated state.
In this way, authentication can be canceled more quickly than waiting for the authentication timeout (for example, 10 seconds) to pass when, for example, the IC card has been unwittingly authenticated by the IC card pulled down from the neck.

For example, after authentication once, when returning to the warehousing berth due to circumstances such as going to pick up a lost item in the vehicle in the parking space 2 for warehousing, or if the administrator temporarily leaves the position of the control panel 30 after authentication If it does not occur, authentication can be reliably canceled by making the reading means read the identification number for a second predetermined period for canceling the authentication.
Also, the administrator may place the IC card 60 in the IC card holder with a string, hang the string from the neck, and carry the IC card 60. In such a case, contrary to the intention of the administrator, Authentication may be performed. Therefore, even if the authentication is accidentally performed, by actively performing the authentication release operation, it is possible to prevent as much as possible a state in which the mechanical parking device 10 is operated by the third party without permission.

Further, in the mechanical parking device 10, one manager operates a plurality of devices (in the present embodiment, a plurality of operation panels of the mechanical parking device) to concurrently serve as a manager of the plurality of devices. Have Therefore, since the administrator does not stick to one operation panel and operate, even if unexpected authentication is performed, it is possible to quickly cancel the authentication without waiting for the time-out of the authentication timeout. By doing so, there is no delay in the operation of the other devices that are concurrently working.

Next, the change of manager will be described using FIG. 19 and FIG. The description of the parts common to the explanation of the authentication is omitted, and the different parts are mainly described.
“Touch the IC card” is displayed on the touch panel 305, a screen prompting “Authentication is required for operation” is displayed, and the backlight of the IC card reader 301 lights blue (Fig. 19). Step SC1).
When the IC card 60 is touched for 500 milliseconds or more, the IC card reader 301 is authenticated, and the backlight of the IC card reader 301 lights green (step SC2 in FIG. 19).
Lights in green, and when the IC card 60 is recognized by the IC card reader 301, an identification number different from the IC card 60 having an identification number under authentication again for at least a third predetermined period (for example, 1 second) The IC card reader 301 reads the IC card 60 having the Then, the authentication is replaced with the identification number of the new IC card 60. The IC card to be authenticated is replaced, and the information of the administrator (for example, Mr. B) who has taken over the authentication indicates that the replacement is performed by flashing the portion of the administrator name of the touch panel 305, etc. 19 steps SC2).

In addition, after the completion of the authentication in step SC2, when the unmanned confirmation is displayed on the touch panel 305 (step SC3 in FIG. 19), the IC being authenticated again for the third predetermined period (for example, one second) or more. Even when the IC card reader 301 reads an IC card 60 different from the card, authentication is switched. When the certification changes, the part of the manager's name is flushed, which clearly indicates that the change has taken place.
Further, when the certification is not canceled in step SC3, after the warehousing elevator 3 arrives at the warehousing stop space 2, the touch panel 305 displays that the certification is necessary for the operation (step in FIG. 20) SC4).
After the manager A confirms the safety on the monitor 304, the manager A causes the IC card reader 301 to read the IC card 60 for a first predetermined period (for example, 500 milliseconds). “Please confirm safety in the monitoring place” is displayed on the touch panel 305 (step SC5 in FIG. 20).
If the IC card reader 301 causes the IC card reader 301 to read the identification information of the IC card 60 having an identification number different from the authenticated identification number again for a third predetermined period (for example, 1 second) or more, the identification number of the new IC card is replaced. Subsequently, step SC5 in FIG.

On the touch panel 305, “Please check the safety on the floor with the monitor” is displayed. At this time, when the IC card reader 301 causes the IC card reader 301 to read a different IC card 60 again for the third predetermined period (for example, one second) or more, the authentication is switched to the new identification number of the IC card. Become.

As described above, according to the card reader system 100 according to the present embodiment, the mechanical parking apparatus 10 including the same, and the control method and control program of the card reader system, the IC card reader 301 When the authentication based on the identification number read by the IC card reader 301 succeeds by reading the identification number from the IC card 60 in which the identification number of the user is stored, the operation instruction to the mechanical parking device 10 by the administrator Is received by the operation screen control unit 42. The first predetermined period, the second predetermined period, and the third predetermined period in which the identification number is read by the IC card reader 301 are longer than the period in which the identification number can be identified by the IC card reader 301. Authentication status is controlled.

In the present embodiment, the period for causing the IC card reader 301 to read the identification number is set longer than the period for which the identification number can be identified, and the user identifies the card to the IC card reader 301 with intention. The number is reliably read for a predetermined period of time, which controls the authentication status. Therefore, the mechanical parking device 10 malfunctions in an unintended usage such that the identification number is unintentionally authenticated during a period in which the administrator (person in charge) having the card passes near the IC card reader 301. You can prevent.
Further, in the present embodiment, the first predetermined period, the second predetermined period, and the third predetermined period for reading the identification number of the IC card are set by the interval (value) of the predetermined period measured by the clock unit 44. However, it is not limited to this. For example, when measurement of the first predetermined period, the second predetermined period, and the third predetermined period is equal to or more than a predetermined number of times, the authentication state may be made different.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the authentication release of the IC card 60 can be performed simply and positively.
Some machines and devices have a custodian who operates them, but they are placed in a public place and can be touched by anyone other than those who operate the machines. is there. In the middle of the operation of such a mechanical device, when the administrator has to temporarily leave the position of the operation panel, a desired period of time for canceling the authentication can be obtained by causing the IC card reader to read the identification number. The authentication can be canceled easily and simply at the timing.
This prevents the third party from accessing the control panel and prevents the mechanical device from operating in an unintended operation. In addition, authentication can be canceled more quickly than after authentication is performed and authentication is timed out after authentication is not completed and authentication is timed out.

According to the present embodiment, by providing the storage unit with a table in which the predetermined period for holding the IC card 60 over the IC card reader 301 is different, the authentication, the authentication cancellation, and the replacement of the identification number (authentication change) can be switched easily. Therefore, it is possible to provide a highly convenient and highly secure IC card reader system.

[Modification 1]
In the above embodiment, the timing of transmitting the identification number (ID) from the IC card reader 301 to the control device 50 is the case where the IC card 60 is out of the detection range of the IC card reader 301. The timing of output from the card reader 301 to the control device 50 is not limited to this.
For example, as shown in FIG. 21, the time measuring unit 44 provided on the operation panel 30 measures a predetermined period for detecting the identification number, and the predetermined period determined in advance has detected the identification number and has elapsed If it has been identified, the identification number may be output from the IC card reader 301 to the control device 50.

[Modification 2]
As another example, as shown in FIG. 22, the IC card reader 301 outputs the stagnation time for detecting the IC card 60 and the identification number at that time to the control device 50 a plurality of times in a fixed cycle as shown in FIG. You may do it.
By doing this, the identification number of the IC card 60 is read by the IC card reader 301 in a longer period than in the case of the above embodiment. When a manager is to be replaced, it is possible to clearly indicate to the control device 50 that a replacement operation is being performed, and it is possible to make sure that the authentication is replaced.
