Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a building management system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in collective buildings such as hotels, condominiums, office buildings, etc. (hereinafter referred to as "buildings"),
The only thing that limits the destination of the unspecified number of people who enter and leave is the key to the door of each room, and it is general that anyone can move freely outside the room .

In some cases, a special elevator is provided for a certain area in the building, for example, a floor dedicated to important persons, but the person who intends to enter illegally is required. Also, by using the dedicated elevator, it is possible to invade the specific area.

[0004] Further, in a building such as an apartment where residents live on a fixed floor, a person trying to reach a predetermined place must specify a destination floor in the elevator with a button. In some high-rise buildings such as office buildings and multi-story buildings, elevators are divided according to stop floors, so the possibility of an unspecified number of people entering unnecessarily is reduced,
Since it is not possible to limit intruders by each elevator, it is not possible to exclude those who intend to enter illegally.

For this reason, when it is necessary to exclude a person who intends to enter illegally, a gate is installed at a place such as an entrance of a building or an entrance of an elevator, so that visitors passing through the gate can be removed. Gate management to manage is implemented. Here, the gate is, for example, a door at an entrance of a building or an automatic door of an elevator, and can pass through the gate by inserting a key, an ID card, or the like registered in advance, or by inputting an ID number. It has become. This prevents a person other than an authorized person holding the key, ID card, ID number, and the like from entering a building or a specific place of the building.

[0006] Means for distinguishing the authorized person from other persons include a key, an ID card, and physical characteristics such as a fingerprint, a retina, and an iris (iris). For example,
Entry / exit control of confidential rooms using retina (Jitsuhei 3-101)
911) and personal identification management using an iris (see Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-84166).

[0007]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional building management system, for example, in a building such as a hotel where an unspecified number of people coming and going to exhibitions, receptions, etc., naturally come and go. Since it is not possible to restrict the destination, anyone can come and go even in the area of the hotel user, the backyard, the area of important persons, and the like.

In a building where a large number of unspecified people naturally enter and leave, a board or the like for explaining the facilities on each floor is provided inside the elevator to guide the destination. . However, in the case of a huge building having a large number of various facilities, it takes a long time to find a destination because the explanation items described on the board are various. On the other hand, the information described on the board increases a risk that a person who intends to enter illegally can easily know the internal structure of the entire building.

Furthermore, in the case of a large hotel having a large number of guest rooms, it is difficult for the hotel user to know where his or her room is, and it often takes time to reach the guest room. On the other hand, in such a large hotel, a card is often used as a key for a room door, but the card is used only as a key for a room door,
It is not used to eliminate the inconvenience of the hotel guests.

In the case of buildings such as condominiums and office buildings, the resident needs to specify the destination floor with a button every time the elevator is used, despite the fact that the destination has been decided, which is annoying. . Further, when both hands are occupied by luggage or the like, the button cannot be operated, which is extremely inconvenient.

The present invention solves the problem of the conventional building management system described above, and a person other than a legitimate user cannot easily enter a specific place. It is an object of the present invention to provide a building management system in which it is not necessary to specify a destination floor with a button every time an elevator is used, and that an easy-to-understand destination guidance can be received only by using the identification means.

[0012]

And route guide means disposed inside a transporter installed inside the building, the route guide means comprising an ID read by the reader.
The route to the destination indicated by the code is guided to the user riding on the transporter by voice or display.

In another building management system of the present invention, a reader for reading an ID code indicating a destination stored in a medium held by a user of a building is connected to the reader, and is communicably connected to the reader. Route guidance means disposed inside, and the route guidance means guides the user to the route to the destination indicated by the ID code read by the reader by voice or display.

In still another building management system according to the present invention, a reader for reading an ID code indicating a destination stored in a medium held by a user of the building is connected to the reader and communicatively connected to the reader. And a transporter installed inside of the building, and when the place where the user boarded the transporter is the same as the destination indicated by the ID code read by the reader, the transporter is located in the building Return to the lobby.

In still another building management system according to the present invention, a reader for reading an ID code indicating a destination stored in a medium held by a user of the building is connected to the reader, and the reader is communicably connected to the reader. The user can call the transporter by causing the reader to read the ID code indicating the destination written on the medium.

In still another building management system of the present invention, a reader for reading an ID code indicating a destination stored in a medium held by a user of the building is connected to the reader, and the reader is communicably connected to the reader. Traffic restriction means disposed on a route inside the vehicle, the traffic restriction means permits the traffic when the destination indicated by the ID code read by the reader is appropriate, and otherwise, Temporarily block intruders by prohibiting traffic in the area.

In still another building management system of the present invention, the medium further stores a plurality of ID codes,
The user can select any ID from the plurality of ID codes.
Select a code.

In still another building management system according to the present invention, the ID code stored in the medium is associated with a physical feature of the user registered in advance, and the reader reads the ID code. When read, the physical characteristics are collated.

[0019] In still another building management system of the present invention, the reader may check the physical characteristics of the user registered in advance, instead of reading the ID code, so that the user can check the user's physical characteristics. Check the acquired ID code.

[0020]

It may be a form of card.

Reference numeral 15 denotes an elevator as a transporting machine connecting the lobby floor where the front 11 is arranged and the passenger cabin floor, and normally operates an upward elevator call button and a downward elevator call button in an elevator hall. Thus, the elevator 15 is called. And in this embodiment,
A reader 16 capable of reading card information is provided in an elevator hall on each floor. The reader 16
Is the room ID composed of the date, room number, serial code, etc., written by the guest on his / her own card key 12.
It is desirable to provide a display means such as a CRT or a liquid crystal display so that the user can recognize the image. In the vicinity of the reader 16, a voice synthesizing section 21 and a floor guidance display section 22 as route guidance means are provided. The elevator 15 may be singular or plural, and each has a destination control unit 23,
The voice synthesizing unit 24, a route display unit 25 for providing route guidance from the elevator hall to the room, and a floor where general facilities such as a restaurant, a meeting room, a parking lot, a pool, a gym, and a store, that is, a general floor are designated. And a general floor designation input section 26 for inputting the information. The reader 16 provided in the elevator hall of each floor is communicably connected to a destination control unit 23 of the elevator 15, and the destination control unit 23 includes an arithmetic unit, a storage unit, a communication interface, and the like. 11 are communicably connected to the control unit 14.

Reference numerals 31 to 33 denote guest room floors.
Here, the number of guest room floors may be any, but in the present embodiment, the guest room floors 31 to 33 represent all the guest room floors of the hotel. And guest room floor 3
Each of the rooms 1 to 33 has a large number of guest rooms, and a reader 35 is provided at an entrance door of each of the guest rooms. The reader 35 is communicably connected to the control unit 14 of the front 11. The reader 35 has a storage means and is communicably connected to a lock mechanism (a mechanism for locking the door) of the door (not shown). The reader 35 reads the room ID written in the card key 12 and reads the room ID. The room I whose ID is stored in the storage means in advance
When the value matches D, the lock mechanism is released, that is, unlocked.

Next, the operation of the building management system having the above configuration will be described.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a room ID according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a room ID-floor table according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of an ID table for each stopped floor according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

First, a hotel guest uses the reception 11
, The customer information such as the address, name, contact information, and settlement method is presented, and a check-in procedure is performed. Here, if there is a reservation for accommodation, at least a part of the customer information,
In addition, information such as the type of desired guest room is transmitted to the hotel in advance, but if there is no reservation, the hotel user transmits the information to the hotel at the reception 11.

On the other hand, if there is a reservation, the hotel inputs the transmitted information to the control unit 14, writes the room ID of a predetermined room into the card key 12, and reads the room's reader. In the storage means of 35, the room I
D is transmitted and stored. When the hotel user who has made a reservation performs a check-in procedure, he / she gives the card key 12 after confirming the contents of the reservation. If there is no reservation, when the guest performs the check-in procedure, the information is input to the control unit 14 on the spot, and the room ID of the room in which the guest can stay is written into the card key 12, and The storage unit of the cabin reader 35 stores the room I
D is transmitted and stored, and the card key 12 is handed to the guest.

Next, the guest reads the received card key 12 into a reader 16 provided in an elevator hall on the lobby floor, thereby reading the card key 12.
2 recognizes a room ID composed of a date written in the card key 12, a room number of a guest room, a serial code, and the like, as shown in FIG.

Subsequently, the room ID is transmitted from the reader 16 to the destination controller 23 of the elevator 15. When the hotel building is a high-rise building, the elevators are divided according to the stop floor. In such a case, the elevator 15 that stops on the floor corresponding to the room ID is selected and the room ID is selected. Is the reader 16
Is transmitted to the destination control unit 23 of the elevator 15 selected from.

Then, the destination control unit 23 transmits the received room ID to the control unit 14. Then, the control unit 14 stores the room ID, such as the room ID, the floor, and the name as shown in FIG.
The contents are compared with the contents of the floor table, and the corresponding floor and name are extracted and returned to the destination control unit 23. The control unit 14 transmits the room ID-floor table to the destination control unit 23, and the destination control unit 2
3 may collate the room ID with the contents of the room ID-floor table. here,
When a plurality of hotel guests read each card key 12 into the reader 16 during the same time period, the floor and name corresponding to each room ID are returned to the destination control unit 23.

Next, the destination control unit 23 controls the room I
Based on the floor and name corresponding to D, a stop floor-specific ID table including stop floors, room IDs and the like as shown in FIG. 4 is created and stored in the storage means. The destination control unit 23 transmits a command to open the door of the elevator 15 to a door opening / closing device (not shown). As a result, the door of the elevator 15 opens, and the guest can get on the elevator 15.

When the hotel user gets on the elevator 15, the destination control unit 23 sends a command to close the door to the opening / closing device, and the door of the elevator 15 is closed. Then, the elevator 15 transports the guest to the floor corresponding to the room ID.

When a plurality of hotel guests ride on each other, the destination control unit 23 transmits the name corresponding to the room ID to the voice synthesizing unit 21 provided in the elevator hall. Then, the voice synthesizer 21 reads out the received name and guides the guest. For example, guidance such as “Hoshino, Suzuki, Sato, please go from this elevator” is output from the voice synthesis unit 21. As a result, the guest can surely get on the predetermined elevator to which he / she should get on. In addition, in consideration of the case where the hotel guest includes a person with hearing impairment, similar guidance is given to the floor guidance display unit 2.
It is desirable to display it also in No. 2.

Next, when the elevator 15 starts operating, the route display unit 25 displays route guidance from the elevator hall after getting off the elevator 15 to the guest room of the guest.
Is desirably displayed. This allows
The guest can reach his / her guest room without hesitation, which is particularly effective when the floor area is large or when the passage is winding. When the elevator 15 arrives at the floor corresponding to the room ID, the destination control unit 23 transmits the name corresponding to the room ID to the voice synthesizing unit 24 provided in the elevator 15. Then, the voice synthesizer 24 reads out the received name and guides the guest. For example, the guidance "Hoshino-sama has arrived" is output from the speech synthesis unit 24. Thereby, the guest can definitely get off the elevator 15 on the predetermined floor to which he / she should get off. In addition, it is desirable that similar guidance be displayed on the route display unit 25 in consideration of a case where a guest having hearing impairment is included in the guest.

When the hotel user gets off the elevator 15 on the predetermined floor, the elevator 15 is displayed on the floor guide display section 22 provided in the elevator hall of the floor.
The route guidance from the elevator hall after getting off to the guest room of the hotel user is displayed. This allows the guest to reach his / her guest room without any hesitation, which is particularly effective when the floor area is large or when the passage is winding. In addition, it is desirable that similar guidance is also output from the voice synthesis unit 21 in consideration of the case where the guest user includes a person having visual impairment.

A person who uses general facilities of a hotel but does not stay, for example, a general user who uses general facilities such as a restaurant, a meeting room, a parking lot, a pool, a sports gym, a store, etc. It is not necessary to perform a check-in procedure at the front 11 unlike a person. Therefore, the general user does not drop by the front 11 and does not receive the card key 12. Then, the general user operates a normal elevator call button in an elevator hall on the lobby floor to call a predetermined elevator 15 going to a general floor where general facilities are located.
If the hotel building is a high-rise building, elevators are divided according to stop floors. In such a case, it is left to the general user to determine which elevator to call.

Then, the general user who gets into the elevator 15 operates a button indicating a restaurant and a general public floor of the general floor specification input section 26 to specify a general floor where the elevator 15 stops. Here, the general floor designation input unit 26 has a button corresponding to a general floor, but does not have a button corresponding to a floor other than the general floor. For this reason, the general user can specify the general floor, but cannot specify the guest room floor where the guest room is located, so that the elevator 15 cannot be stopped at the guest room floor. Thus, it is possible to prevent a person other than the hotel guest holding the card key 12 from entering a floor other than a general floor such as a guest room floor.

When returning to the lobby from the guest room floor, the guest reads the card key 12 into the reader 16 provided in the elevator hall of the guest room floor. Then, the reader 16 recognizes the room ID written on the card key 12. here,
When the guest room corresponding to the room ID exists on the guest room floor, the elevator 15 stops on the floor and the door opens, and the hotel user can get on the elevator 15.

Further, a guest room corresponding to the room ID exists on the guest room floor, the elevator 15 stops on the floor and the door is opened, and the guest uses the elevator 15
When the user gets into the hotel, the lobby is uniquely selected, so that the guest can go back and forth between the lobby and the guest room floor without pressing the button. When the hotel user moves to the public floor, a normal elevator call button is operated in the elevator hall on the lobby floor, and the elevator 1
By operating the button of the general floor designation input unit 26 of No. 5, the general floor at which the elevator 15 stops is designated.

On the other hand, when the guest room corresponding to the room ID does not exist on the guest room floor, the elevator 15 does not stop on the floor. Note that a normal elevator call button is not provided in the elevator hall on the guest room floor.

Further, a reader 16 is also provided at the entrance of the emergency stairs, and the door to the emergency stairs cannot be opened unless the card key 12 in which the room ID of the guest room existing on the guest room floor is written is read. The emergency stairs are not allowed. Thereby, the appropriate card key 12
A person other than the guest who holds the information, for example, a general user,
When a guest such as a guest who stays in a guest room on a floor other than the guest room floor enters the guest room floor, the entered person can be locked in the guest room floor for a certain period of time.

In the event of an emergency such as a fire, the control unit 14 transmits a simultaneous release signal to open the doors to the emergency stairs or to open the doors using the function of an electric key provided to each door, thereby ensuring safety. Is secured.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the elevator 1 is used by using the card key 12 which is the same as the card conventionally used as the key of the passenger compartment door.
Since the destination of No. 5 can be designated, the hotel user does not need to check and remember where his / her guest room is, and can improve convenience.

Further, since only the card key 12 is a condition for stopping the elevator 15 on the guest room floor, it is possible to restrict the entry of the person other than the hotel guest, such as a general user using general facilities, into the guest room floor. can do. further,
Even a hotel user cannot get down on a guest room floor other than his / her own guest room floor, so that privacy in the hotel can be improved and security can be improved.

Even if a person other than the guest of the guest room enters the guest room floor, the card key 1 is used to call the elevator 15 when leaving the guest room floor.
2 is required, and the entrance of the emergency stairs is also a card key 1
Since the door cannot be opened without the door 2, the person who has entered can be confined to the floor for a certain period of time, so that the crime prevention effect can be improved.

Furthermore, since the hotel user moves using the card key 12 when moving in the hotel, the position of the hotel user in the hotel is controlled by the control unit 14.
Thus, the service can be improved, for example, it is possible to roughly grasp the situation, and the hotel user can be called quickly. In this case, the guest room can be efficiently cleaned in accordance with the movement of the guest, so that the guest room management can be improved.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. It should be noted that the description of those having the same structure and the same operation as those of the first embodiment will be omitted.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the surface of an example of a card key according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG.
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the back of an example of a card key in the embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the internal structure of another example of the card key in the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2
It is a figure which shows the internal structure of another example of the card key in embodiment.

In this embodiment, the elevator 15
Does not include the general floor designation input unit 26 described in the first embodiment. In the present embodiment, a general user who uses a general facility holds a general floor and a card key for entering and leaving a general facility on the general floor, that is, a general card. The general card can be obtained at a front desk or the like where people can freely enter and exit.

The general card has the same configuration as the card key 12 possessed by the guest, but is distinguished by the difference in data written on the card. While the room ID is written in the card key 12, the room ID is not written in the general card, but the ID of the general facility, that is, the general facility ID is written. The general card may have general facility IDs corresponding to all general facilities, or one general card may have only general facility IDs corresponding to some general facilities. Is also good. In the latter case, when trying to use a large number of general facilities, it is necessary to hold a plurality of general cards.

In this embodiment, since the elevator 15 does not have the general floor designation input section 26,
Hotel guests also need to hold the general card in order to use general facilities. In this case, the hotel user must hold a plurality of cards, which is bothersome.

Therefore, the card key held by the guest can be provided with the function of a general card. One example of such a card key is the card key 40 shown in FIGS.

Here, the names of destinations such as guest rooms, parking lots, and shops are printed on the surface of the card key 40, and destination cuts 41 corresponding to the respective destinations are formed. . Then, by sliding the destination selection slide cover 42, the destination notch 41 corresponding to the destination is hidden. In this case, the place where the destination cut 41 is hidden is the selected destination.

As shown in FIG. 6, a destination ID storage section 48 composed of a magnetic recording band is formed on the back surface of the card key 40, corresponding to each of the destination cuts 41. In each of the destination ID storage sections 48, the ID of the destination corresponding to the destination cut 41 is written.

In this case, the reader 16 reads the ID written in the destination ID storage unit 48 corresponding to the destination cut 41 hidden by the destination selection slide cover 42.

As another example of a card key having the function of a general card, a card key 5 shown in FIG.
0 or a card key 55 shown in FIG. Here, the card key 50 is a contactless reading card using magnetism, has an internal structure as shown in FIG. 7, and has a transmitting circuit 53 and a destination cut 41 connected to the transmitting circuit 53. And an open circuit including a coil 52.
In addition, the destination selection slide cover 51 includes a conduction path that short-circuits both ends of the open circuit.

The open circuit corresponding to the destination notch 41 hidden by the destination selection slide cover 51 is as follows.
Since both ends are conducted, the coil 52 generates a magnetic force,
The magnetic force is read by the reader 16.

The card key 55 is also a non-contact reading card using magnetism, has an internal structure as shown in FIG. 8, and has a transmission circuit 57 and a destination connected to the transmission circuit 57. An open circuit corresponding to the cut 41 and a common coil 58 are provided. In addition, destination selection slide cover 5
6 is provided with a conduction path for short-circuiting both ends of the open circuit.

The open circuit corresponding to the destination cut 41 hidden by the destination selection slide cover 56 is as follows:
Since both ends are conducted, the coil 58 generates a magnetic force,
The magnetic force is read by the reader 16.

The name of the guest room and the destination cut 4 corresponding to the guest room are obtained from the card keys 40, 50, 55.
1. A general card in which the destination ID storage unit 48 and the open circuit are deleted may be used. In this case, since the structure of the card key and the general card is almost the same, the manufacturing cost of the card key and the general card can be reduced.

Next, the operation of the building management system having the above configuration will be described.

In the present embodiment, the general user can use the front 1 at a place such as the lobby floor where he can freely enter and leave.
Obtain a general card without performing the procedure in 1. Then, the I of the general facility written on the general card
By causing D to be read by the reader 16, the elevator 15 is automatically stopped at a desired general floor, and enters and exits a desired general facility. In this case, similarly to the first embodiment, the route guidance from the elevator hall after getting off the elevator 15 to the general facility is displayed on the floor guidance display unit 22 or the route display unit 25. Is desirable. This allows the general user to reach the general facility without hesitation, which is particularly effective when the floor area is large or when the passage is winding.

Also, when using the general facilities, the hotel user also obtains the general card in the same manner as the general user,
The reader 1 reads the ID of the general facility written on the general card.
6, the elevator 15 is stopped at a desired general floor, and enters and exits a desired general facility. If the card key held by the guest also has the function of a general card, the use of the card key allows the elevator 15 to be placed on the general floor.
Stop and enter / exit general facilities.

As described above, in the present embodiment, all of the general users and the accommodation users can smoothly move to a desired general facility based on the ID of the general facility written on the general card. This eliminates the need to search for a route to a desired general facility, thereby improving convenience. Also,
Since access to places other than the permitted places is restricted, security inside the hotel can be improved.

Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. It should be noted that the description of those having the same structure and operation as those of the first and second embodiments will be omitted.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a configuration of a card issuing machine according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

In the present embodiment, a card key is issued by a card issuing machine 61 having a configuration as shown in FIG. The card issuing machine 61 is disposed near the entrance of the hotel, near the boundary between a place where an unspecified number of people can enter and a place where access is restricted. In addition, the card issuing machine 61 has personal identification means that uses physical characteristics for personal identification. And
The identification means of the personal identification function of the card issuing machine 61 may be any of an iris, a fingerprint, a face, a voiceprint, etc. In the present embodiment, the personal identification means using the iris as the identification means is used. Card issuing machine 6
1 will be described.

In the figure, reference numeral 62 denotes a camera for photographing an iris, and 63 denotes illumination for photographing. The camera 62 and the illumination 63 are communicably connected to a processing unit 64 including a calculation unit, a storage unit, a communication interface, and the like. Reference numeral 65 denotes an input / output unit having functions of destination display output, destination selection input, operation guide, and the like; 66, a settlement unit for handling cash, credit card, etc .; 67, a card key for issuing and receiving a card key An input / output unit, the input / output unit 65, the settlement unit 66, and the card key input / output unit 67;
Are communicably connected to the processing unit 64.

Reference numeral 72 denotes an iris common database used to manage and operate the iris data as a common identification means for various services and settlements. The iris common database 72 usually includes
It is located separately from the hotel and is operated by an independent third party separate from the hotel operator. The processing unit 64 is communicably connected to the iris common database 72 via a network 71. Further, the processing unit 64 includes the front 1
The first control unit 14 is also communicably connected.

In the present embodiment, the card key may be the general card in the second embodiment.

Next, the operation of the building management system having the above configuration will be described.

In the first embodiment, a person such as a hotelman hands over the card key after confirming the identity at the front desk 11, but in the present embodiment, an unmanned card issuing machine is used. By registering the physical characteristics at, a card key is issued.

First, when a guest or a general user arrives at the hotel building, the user drops in at the card issuing machine 61.
Then, the card issuing machine 61 senses the approach of the guest user or general user using the proximity sensor or the like, displays guidance on the input / output unit 65, and makes a request to the guest user or general user. Prompt for menu entry.

When the hotel user or the general user selects and inputs a menu requiring a card key,
The card issuing machine 61 displays a notification for registering a physical feature on the input / output unit 65, and indicates a registration procedure according to a registration permission of a guest user or a general user. The hotel user or general user registers physical characteristics in the card issuing machine according to the registration means. In the present embodiment, since the physical feature is an iris, the card issuing machine 61 prompts the guest or general user to look at the camera 62 by the guidance, and performs imaging, image quality evaluation, iris data conversion, and collation evaluation. After the iris. Then, a card key is issued from the card key input / output unit 67 together with the registration.

It should be noted that iris data is used for various services,
When managed and operated as a common identification means such as payment and is already registered in the iris common database 72, the hotel user or general user can use the menu without registering the iris in front of the card key issuing machine. When specified and entered, the iris is verified and a card key is issued. In the case of a hotel user or a general user who receives some kind of paid service, the credit card registration or credit card personal attribute in the settlement section 66, the iris input to the card key issuing machine 61, and the iris common By performing the comparison with the iris in the database 72, the identity can be reliably confirmed.

After receiving the card key, the guest user or general user performs the same operation as in the second embodiment.

In the present embodiment, by adding a card key confirmation function, even if the card key is passed to a third party's hand, the third party impersonates a regular guest or general user. Can be prevented.

For example, when boarding an elevator, if a card key confirmation function is added to a reader provided in an elevator hall, when reading the ID of a card key, the iris is determined whether or not the person who has given the ID has the ID. By reading, it can be compared with the iris data acquired at the time of issuance of the card key temporarily stored in the control unit 14, and it can be identified whether or not the user is an authorized guest user or a general user.

As described above, in this embodiment, by setting the personal identification means as a necessary condition for issuing a card key, it is possible to clarify to whom the card key has been issued. Issuance of a card key can be automated. In addition, if the iris common database 72 can be used, global identity confirmation and payment automation can be enabled, and the card key confirmation function can be used for legitimate hotel guests or general users at necessary places. Or an impersonated third party, it is possible to improve security and reduce costs.

Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. It should be noted that the description of those having the same structure and the same operation as those of the first to third embodiments will be omitted.

This embodiment is different from the third embodiment in that a storage means is provided in a card key, and the other points are the same as the third embodiment. . In this case, the personal data input to the card issuing machine 61 can be stored not only on the system side such as the control unit 14 or the card issuing machine 61 but also in the storage means of the card key.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the personal data input to the card issuing machine 61 can be stored in the storage means for the card key. Without accessing the data stored on the system side, the identity can be confirmed between the reader and the guest or general user, so that the data processing amount can be reduced, The system can be simplified, costs can be reduced, and data processing can be speeded up.

Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described. The description of the components having the same structure and the same operation as those of the first to fourth embodiments will be omitted.

In the present embodiment, the facility user such as a hotel user or a general user is used to identify the facility user without using a physical key such as a card key. Identify.

In this case, a registration machine is provided at a place where an unspecified number of people can enter, for example, at the front desk 11.
Facilities used by hotel users at hotels, customer information,
The physical characteristics of the individual are registered by the registration machine in the use permission database of the hotel facility. The data registered in the use permission database can be accessed from facility use confirmation machines arranged at various places in the hotel, and it is possible to confirm the presence or absence of the facility use right at the destination of the facility user, and In order to settle the service, personal identification using physical characteristics is performed.

The facility use confirmation machine is disposed near the boundary of the place where entry restriction is to be added, for example, in an elevator hall. The facility use confirmation machine has the same function as the card key confirmation function of the reader in the third embodiment, and registers in the use permission database by reading the iris as to whether or not the person is the principal. By collating with certain iris data, it is possible to identify whether the user is a regular guest user or a general user.

Next, the operation of the building management system having the above configuration will be described.

First, anyone who wishes to use the facility registers an area in which anyone can freely come and go, for example, a facility used at the front desk 11, customer information, and physical characteristics in the system use permission database.

Then, the facility user uses a physical feature such as an iris to confirm the presence or absence of the facility use right and to settle the billable service by using the facility use confirmation machine at the destination in the hotel. Is identified.

For example, when the facility user uses an elevator, the elevator can be called by checking the iris with a facility use confirmation machine provided in the elevator hall. When there are a plurality of floors permitted by the facility user, the plurality of floors are displayed on the destination display section inside the elevator, so the facility user can select a desired floor from the floor displayed on the destination display section. Floor can be selected. If the number of permitted floors is one, the facility user cannot select the floor, and the elevator moves to the permitted floor.

Further, even when there are a plurality of floors permitted by the facility user, the elevator may automatically move to the default floor. For example, when the floor to be boarded is the lobby floor, the guest room floor is set as the default floor, or when the boarding floor is the guest room floor, the lobby floor is set as the default floor, whereby the facility user The elevator may automatically start moving after a certain waiting time without selecting a desired floor from the floor displayed on the destination display section. Thus, the facility user can easily move to a desired floor even when carrying luggage or the like in both hands.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the facility user is identified using the physical characteristics of the facility user such as an iris, instead of using a physical key such as a card key. , To a desired facility. Therefore, the facility user does not need to hold the physical key, and does not feel bothered. In addition, since it is not impossible to move to a desired facility by forgetting or losing the key, convenience for facility users is improved. Also, for the hotel operator, there is no need to re-create the lost key, so that the cost can be reduced.

In the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the building management system of the present invention uses an elevator as a means of transportation in a hotel. However, the building management system of the present invention is applied to buildings other than hotels, such as condominiums and offices. It can also be applied to buildings and the like. Also, an elevator has been described as an example of a moving means to which the management system is applied. However, not only an elevator moving up and down but also a door-to-door moving means can be configured as a personal moving system. Can be. That is, the management system according to the present invention can be applied to personal transportation means such as current taxis and escalators.

Further, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be variously modified based on the gist of the present invention, and they are not excluded from the scope of the present invention.
