Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for discriminating a specific individual using a plurality of types of individual discriminators and permitting passage of the place.

  Persons who are allowed to enter the specific area for buildings with doors that are opened and closed by electric locks at the passages or entrances to the specific area to prohibit entry by persons other than those concerned. In some cases, a personal identification device is installed to determine whether or not. In this case, it has been proposed to install a plurality of types of individual discriminators in the individual discriminating apparatus in order to ensure the accuracy of individual discrimination.

  That is, the feature point range determination means for determining that the input feature point of the human body is within the predetermined range, the feature point range determination means operates, and the personal information known only by the individual and the personal information If the collation result with the registration data of the personal information matches, it is configured to include personal determination means that outputs a coincidence signal (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP-A-8-315142 (paragraph 0011, FIG. 5)

  The conventional personal identification device as described above outputs a coincidence signal when both the feature point (fingerprint) of the human body and the personal information (calendar information, etc.) known only to the individual are “correct”, respectively. As a result, there is a problem that even a person who has already been permitted to pass must operate a plurality of personal discriminators at each location, which is troublesome.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an individual discrimination device that can simplify the passing operation of a person who is already allowed to pass.

  In the personal identification device according to the present invention, a plurality of types of personal discriminators are installed at each passage location, and when all the individual discriminators at one location discriminate the same specific individual, the passage of the location is permitted, When the condition is satisfied, the passage of the place is permitted if the number of individual discriminators less than the plurality of types discriminates a specific individual from the next time onward.

  As described above, in the present invention, when all of the plurality of individual discriminators at one place discriminate the same specific person, the passage of the place is permitted, and if the predetermined condition is satisfied, the next time and the following are more than the above plural types. If a small number of individual discriminators discriminate a specific individual, the passage of the place is permitted, so regular people can pass by operations with reduced complexity, especially when going to work and leaving work. Traffic congestion can be alleviated.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
1 to 5 are diagrams showing one embodiment of the first to third, sixth and seventh inventions of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a building. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a personal identification device. 3 is a block diagram, FIG. 4 is a registration operation flowchart, and FIG. 5 is a collation operation flowchart. In FIG.

  1 to 3, a building 1 is provided with a room 3 and a room 4 across a passage 2. A door 5 is provided at the entrance / exit of the building 1, a door 6 is provided at the entrance / exit of the room 3, a door 7 is provided at the entrance / exit of the room 4, and electric locks 8 to 10 are respectively installed in the doors 5 to 7. ing. An individual discrimination device 11 for discriminating a specific individual is installed near the entrance / exit, and individual discrimination devices 12 and 13 are installed near the entrances of the rooms 3 and 4, respectively.

  The individual discriminating devices 11 to 13 include a card reader (individual discriminator) 14 for reading a discrimination card possessed by an individual, a fingerprint reader (individual discriminator) 15 for reading an individual's fingerprint, a numeric keypad (individual discriminator) 16 and an individual discriminator. An indicator 17 comprising an OK lamp and an NG lamp showing the results is installed. In addition to the above, the personal identification devices 11 to 13 are provided with a CPU 18, a ROM 19, a RAM 20, an output interface 21 and a transmission device 22, and are connected to each other together with a card reader 14, a fingerprint reader 15, a numeric keypad 16 and a display 17. Yes.

Although omitted in FIG. 3, the individual identification devices 11 to 13 have the same configuration, and the output interface 21 is connected to the electric locks 8 to 10, respectively. The transmission device 22 is connected to each other between the individual discrimination devices 11 to 13.
It is assumed that the individual discrimination device 11 has a central processing function, a registration function, and a collation function, and the individual discrimination devices 12 and 13 have only a collation function.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
(1) Registration operation (Fig. 4)
It is assumed that registration of personal information, which is a criterion for determining permission for passage, is performed by the personal determination device 11.
In step S1, the process waits for a registration mode code to be input from the numeric keypad 16 of the personal identification device 11. When the numeric key 16 is operated to input a code, the OK lamp and the NG lamp of the display unit 17 are temporarily turned on at the same time in step S2 to indicate that the registration mode has been set. In step S3, the card reader 14 waits for the discrimination card possessed by the individual to be read. When the discrimination card is read, the OK lamp of the display unit 17 is temporarily turned on in step S4 to display that the discrimination card has been read.

  In step S 5, the card number (personal number) of the read discrimination card is stored in the RAM 20. In step S6, the process waits for the fingerprint to be read by the fingerprint reader 15. When the fingerprint is read, it is determined in step S7 whether or not the feature point (end point, branch point, etc.) data of the read fingerprint has an appropriate amount for determining an individual. If there is an appropriate amount of data, the OK lamp of the display unit 17 is temporarily blinked and displayed in step S8. In step S9, the card number and the feature point data are stored (registered) in the RAM 20 as a pair.

In step S10, the process waits for a registration mode end code to be input from the numeric keypad 16. When the numeric keypad 16 is operated and an end code is input, in step S11, the OK lamp and the NG lamp of the display unit 17 are temporarily turned on simultaneously to display the end of the registration mode, and the process ends.
Next, if it is determined in step S7 that there is no appropriate data amount, in step S12, the NG lamp of the display unit 17 is temporarily blinked to instruct additional input from the numeric keypad 16 to reinforce personal discrimination data.

  In step S13, the operator operates the numeric keypad 16 in accordance with the above instruction, and inputs the “*” key and his / her personal identification number. In step S 14, the “*” and password are stored in the RAM 20 as a pair with the card number read in step S 5. In step S15, the process waits for a registration mode end code to be input from the numeric keypad 16. When the numeric keypad 16 is operated and an end code is input, in step S16, the OK lamp and the NG lamp of the display unit 17 are temporarily turned on simultaneously to display the end of the registration mode, and the process ends.

As a result of the above, a regular person who has a passing qualification registers one of the following A and B in the RAM 20.
A Card number Feature point data N
B Card number * PIN number N
Note that N is the number of determinations (described later) to which special passage permission is given.

(2) Verification operation (Fig. 5)
A person who intends to pass through the entrance / exit of the building 1 and the entrances / exits of the rooms 3 and 4 is permitted to pass by the personal identification devices 11 to 13. Hereinafter, the operation at the entrance / exit of the building 1 will be described.
In step S1, the card reader 14 of the personal identification device 11 waits for the identification card to be read. When the discrimination card is read, the process proceeds to step S22, where the card number is checked against the card number stored in the RAM 20 to determine “correct” or “no”.

  If the card number is “NO”, the process returns to step S21, and the NG lamp of the display unit 17 is temporarily turned on in step S23 to display that the card number is incorrect. If the card number is “correct”, the OK lamp of the display 17 is temporarily turned on in step S24 to display that the card number is correct, and the process proceeds to step S25. In step S25, it is determined whether or not the number of operations of this number, that is, the count value of the traffic counter is N. If N is not reached, the process proceeds to step S26. In step S26, it is determined whether or not this card number has “*”. If there is no “*”, the process proceeds to step S27.

  In step S27, it waits for the fingerprint to be read by the fingerprint reader 15. When the fingerprint is read, the feature point data of the fingerprint is compared with the feature point data stored in the RAM 20 in step S28, and the “correct” or “no” is determined. Determine. If the fingerprint is “NO”, the process returns to step S21, and at step S29, the NG lamp of the display unit 17 is temporarily blinked to display a fingerprint mismatch. If the fingerprint is “correct”, the OK lamp of the display 17 is temporarily blinked in step S30 to indicate that the passage is permitted, and the electric lock 8 is temporarily unlocked in step S31.

At the same time, 1 is added to the count value of the traffic counter in step S32. The traffic counter stops counting when the count value reaches N.
Next, when it is determined in step S25 that the count value of the traffic counter has reached N, in step S33, the OK light of the display unit 17 is temporarily blinked, and thereafter, it is displayed that the simple operation is permitted, and step S34. To unlock the electric lock 8 temporarily. Now, it is possible to pass only by collating the discrimination card.

  If it is determined in step S26 that the identification card number has “*”, it waits for the password to be entered from the numeric keypad 16 in step S35. When the personal identification number is input, the personal identification number is collated with the personal identification number stored in the RAM 20 in step S36 to determine "correct" or "no". If the dark place number is “NO”, the process returns to step S21, and in step S37, the NG lamp of the display unit 17 is temporarily blinked to display the mismatch of the code numbers.

If the personal identification number is “correct”, the OK lamp of the indicator lamp 17 is temporarily blinked in step S38 to indicate that the passage is permitted, and the electric lock 8 is temporarily unlocked in step S39. However, in this case, since the traffic counter does not operate, the count value does not reach N and simple operation is not permitted.
The same applies to the individual discriminating devices 12 and 13, and the traffic to the rooms 3 and 4 is managed.
Here, step S25 constitutes condition detection means, and step S34 constitutes passage special permission means.

  In this way, when the number of times that both the personal identification by the discrimination card and the personal discrimination by the fingerprint are “positive” reaches the predetermined number N, thereafter, the electric lock 8 is unlocked only by discrimination of the discrimination card, that is, passage permission is permitted. Therefore, a legitimate person can pass through the doors 5 to 7 by an operation with reduced complexity. Especially when going to work or leaving work, it is possible to alleviate traffic congestion.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
Another embodiment of the first embodiment will be shown, and it can be realized by sharing FIGS. 1 to 4 and changing a part of FIG.
In this embodiment, when the number of times that the personal identification by the discrimination card and the personal identification by the fingerprint are both “positive” reaches the predetermined number N, then the passage permission is given only by the individual identification by the fingerprint. Thus, the same effect as in the first embodiment is obtained.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
An embodiment of the fourth invention of the present invention will be shown, which can be realized by sharing FIGS. 1 to 4 and changing a part of FIG.
In this embodiment, the operation of the card reader 14 and the fingerprint reader 15 of the personal identification device 11 permits the passage of the door 5, and then the operation of the card reader 14 and the fingerprint reader 15 of the personal identification device 12 causes the door 6 to When the passage permission is given, in other words, the passage permission is given in a predetermined route, and when this reaches the predetermined number N, from the next time, only the operation of the card reader 14 or the fingerprint reader 15 is performed for the same route as above. The passage permission is given, and the same effect as in the first embodiment is obtained.

  Further, from the next time, not only the same route as described above but also a similar route such as the door 5 to the door 7 may be permitted to pass only by operating the card reader 14 or the fingerprint reader 15.

Embodiment 4 FIG.
An embodiment of the fifth invention of the present invention will be shown, which can be realized by sharing FIGS. 1 to 4 and changing a part of FIG.
In this embodiment, in the third embodiment, in the predetermined route or a similar route, the passage permission is given only by the operation of the card reader 14 or the fingerprint reader 15, but the passage time zone is further set. This is limited to a predetermined time zone, has the same effect as in the first embodiment, and can set a special passage permission at an appropriate time.

Embodiment 5 FIG.
FIG. 6 is a collation operation flowchart showing an embodiment of the eighth invention of the present invention. FIG. 6 is used in common with FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, and between step S22 and step S25 in FIG. The others are the same as in FIG.
That is, if it is determined in steps S21 and S22 that the number of the discrimination card is “correct”, it is determined in step S41 whether there is “*” in the card number, and if there is “*”, the process proceeds to step S35. move on.

If it is determined in steps S35 and S36 that the password input from the numeric keypad 16 is "No", the process returns to step S21, and steps S22-S41-S35-S36 are repeated. If it is determined in step S41 that there is no “*” in the card number, the process proceeds to step S25, and the operation is the same as in FIG.
Here, step S41 constitutes passage special permission blocking means.

  In this way, a person with a card number “*”, that is, a person who cannot perform fingerprint verification, can substitute the personal identification number, but even if the count value of the traffic counter reaches the predetermined number N, no special traffic permission is given. Therefore, it is always required that the discrimination card and the password are both “correct”, and the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained and the security can be improved.
