[0019]
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a case where the traversable areas according to the first embodiment of the present invention are combined.
In FIG. 2, an area group combining areas that all people can pass is defined as a “common area”, and an area group combining areas that only people belonging to tenant x can pass is defined as “tenant x occupancy”. ing. The area group has, as attributes, an area group number for distinguishing the area group, an area group name for easily distinguishing the area group, and an arbitrary area number incorporated as the area group. Note that the same area number may be included in a plurality of area groups. Further, it is necessary to distinguish the numbering system in order to distinguish the area number and the area group number. In this example, the head of the area group number is G.
[0020]
FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure for setting a zone group in the pass / fail setting table of the setting terminal.
Next, with reference to FIG. 3, a procedure for setting a zone group in the passage permission / prohibition setting table of the setting terminal 11 will be described.
First, in step S21, a line is displayed in the passage permission / inhibition setting table. That is, in step S21, the card numbers are sequentially displayed on each line using the card numbers as keys. Next, in step S22, the area number or the area group number is displayed in the column direction. That is, in step S22, the current traversable area group number or area number is displayed in each column for each card number. Next, in step S23, the process waits for selection of a line, that is, waits for selection of an area group or an area number that can be passed for each card number.
[0021]
Next, in step S24, a record of the card number corresponding to the line selected in step S23 is taken out, and an area number or area group edit screen is displayed. That is, in step S24, a screen for selecting an area group number or an area number to be added to or deleted from the card number selected in step S23 is displayed. Next, in step S25, the process waits until an area group number or an area number to be operated is selected.
[0022]
Next, in step S26, the record of the card number corresponding to the line selected in step S25 is taken out, and edited according to the selected state. That is, in step S26, the area group number or the area number selected in step S25 is added to or deleted from the passage permission / inhibition setting table of the selected card number. Here, the record (recording information) in the passage permission / inhibition setting table of the selected card number is taken out, and the selected area group number or area number is added or deleted. The size of the individual identification controller _131-134 passage propriety setting _{table n} can store is limited, the number of passable card number areas is also limited.
[0023]
Therefore, in step S27, the number of cards allocated to the area is confirmed. If an area group number has been set, the area numbers contained therein are expanded and counted. That is, in step S27, it is determined whether or not the number of cards allocated to the area is equal to or less than the limit number. If the number of cards allocated to the area is equal to or less than the limit number, the process returns to step S21 to return to the above-described step. Repeat the operation. On the other hand, if the number of cards assigned to the area in step S27 is not equal to or less than the limit number, an error is displayed in step S28 when the number of cards assigned to the area exceeds the limit number.
[0024]
Furthermore, if the area group obtained by combining the areas can be included in another area group, finer settings and repetitive settings can be easily performed. However, in this case, it is necessary to perform an error check so as not to be set recursively.
[0025]
Incidentally, when setting the passage propriety setting table in the personal identification controller 13 ₁ to 13 _n, when the zone group number is set in this way availability setting table, expand the area number included in the group managed And then set.
[0026]
In this manner, in the present embodiment, it is possible to set a group of areas freely set by the setter without making detailed settings for each of the areas that can be passed to each individual. Therefore, it is possible to greatly reduce the labor required for the input operation, and to reduce the setting to allow the vehicle to pass by mistake or not to pass.
[0027]
In addition, when the setting terminal sets the passability setting table in the personal identification controller, by expanding the area group into the area number, there is no need to remodel a conventional personal identification controller that can only process with the area number. Since it is not necessary to perform a process of expanding the area group by a personal identification controller having no capacity, it is possible to operate at high speed.
[0028]
