(equipment management device that second embodiment relates to)

With reference to Figure 12 to Figure 17 the equipment management device 1000 that second embodiment of the present invention relates to is described.Below, the equipment management device 1000 that relates to for second embodiment of the present invention, the difference to the equipment management device 1000 that relates to above-mentioned first embodiment describes emphatically.

The equipment management device 1000 that this embodiment relates to is identical with the structure of the equipment management device 1000 that first embodiment relates to; But shown in figure 12, this embodiment is characterised in that device interior or the device external outside equipment management device 1000 is provided with incident storage part 2400.

It is by the event detection portion 1100 detected first equipment control incidents 2110 under the situation of " second state " that incident storage part 2400 is stored in equipment state.

The first equipment control incident 2110 that is stored in the incident storage part 2400 is used when " second state " correctly resets into " first state " in the equipment state of equipment management device 1000.

In this embodiment, like Figure 13 and shown in Figure 14, suppose such situation (scenario): equipment 20 is built-in with non-contact IC card 400, and the employee utilizes non-contact IC card 400 to use each office system.

Specifically, the non-contact IC card 400 of this embodiment has go out the enter the room function 410 and to login (log in) function 420 of PC that go out enter the room of management with respect to office.

Through by the employee with respect to card reader (reader) 400A (for example, the Felica card reader) near non-contact IC card 400, function 410 and login feature 420 work go out to enter the room.

That is, the employee can get into office through making non-contact IC card 400 near the card reader 400A for preparing in the office gateway, through making non-contact IC card 400 near the card reader 400A for preparing in the office gateway, and can be from withdrawing from office.

In addition, the employee can login PC through making non-contact IC card near the card reader 400A that is equipped on PC.

In addition, go out to enter the room function 410 joins each other through following rule with login feature 420 and takes.

Through making the employee get into office, the login feature 420 of PC become effectively (can use).

Under the situation that the employee withdraws from from office, basically to the login feature 420 invalid (can not use) of PC.

As long as it is allow outside office, to utilize PC,, also effective to the login feature 420 of PC via server even the employee is after office withdraws from.

Validation/the ineffective treatment of the login feature of above-mentioned such non-contact IC card 400 carries out via DM server 10.

Here, login feature 420 bring into play as stated as according to the user with respect to the situation that goes out to enter the room (specific situation) of office decide can use or out of use, for example can decision login the effect of first Equipment Management Function of PC.

With reference to Figure 13 and Figure 14 the system of the realization equipment control (entry and exit control and login management) of the equipment management device 1000 that used this embodiment and relate to is described.

Specifically, this system has: the function 410 that goes out to enter the room of non-contact IC card 400, login feature 420, equipment management device 1000, notify out the event notice function 34 of the incident of entering the room and follow this notice to make the DM server 10 of login feature 420 effective (can use) or invalid (can not use) to DM server 10.

When the employee got into office, when non-contact IC card 400 was gone up near card reader 400A, equipment management device 1000 detected the incident of entering the room through the function 410 that goes out to enter the room.

Equipment management device 1000 is accompanied by the detection of the incident of entering the room and starts (execution) event notice function 34, and notifies the detected incident of entering the room to DM server 10.DM server 10 makes login feature 420 effective, makes it possible in office, login PC.

In addition, when office withdrawed from, non-contact IC card 400 is near under the situation of card reader 400A, and was the same with the situation of entering the room the employee, and DM server 10 notices are withdrawed from incident.

DM server 10 judges whether the employee as the user of this equipment is allowed under situation about allowing, make login feature 410 effective at office outdoor application PC.

If above-mentioned processing is normally carried out, the people beyond the then proper user can not utilize PC outside office.But, as stated, can't suitably carry out equipment control sometimes.

As the example under this situation, supposing has situation shown in Figure 14.In this example, because the dump of equipment etc., DM agency 30 itself can't detect out the incident of entering the room.

In general; The non-contact IC card 400 that is equipped on equipment 20 such as portable terminal can carry out work with faint electric power; Therefore even under the state of the dump of equipment 20, the function 410 that goes out to enter the room that is arranged at non-contact IC card 400 also can be used with login feature.

But under such state, as the DM of the software on the equipment 20 agency 30 and be failure to actuate, therefore notify out the event detection function 34 of the incident of entering the room to move to DM server 10.

Therefore, got into the user under the state of office, under the situation of the power supply that has cut off equipment 20, the user can withdraw from from office under the state that login feature 420 is not disabled.
