  FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the gate control device 70 according to the second embodiment. As shown in the figure, the gate control device 70 has the same function as the gate control device 30, but further includes a passability setting generation unit 80.

The registration non-contact ID tag 60 is a dedicated ID tag used for newly registering the passer ID of the reading device 10 in the pass permitted person list. Since the purpose is to register the passer ID, the installation location may be in a range where communication with the gate control device 70 is possible. For example, if it is installed around the gate control device 70, registration can be performed without going to the gate.
The registration gate ID, which is the ID of the registration non-contact ID tag 60, may be provided for each gate individually, but the same type of gate is treated as a group, and the same registration gate is used for the gates belonging to the same group. An ID may be assigned. Thus, by registering the reader 10 once using the registration non-contact type ID tag 60, the passer ID can be registered at one time for one or a plurality of gates managed by the registration gate ID. I can do it.

  The registration gate ID list storage unit 90 is a part of the memory of the gate control device 70 or an external storage device connected to the gate control device 70 via a communication line. The registration gate ID list storage unit 90 may be the same storage device as the permitted passer list storage unit 40.

Next, the operation will be described.
When the user intends to register the passage permission for a certain gate, the user brings the portable reading device 10 close to the registration non-contact type ID tag 60 for the gate. The reading device 10 reads the ID of the registration non-contact ID tag 60. Here, the ID of the registration non-contact ID tag 60 is the registration gate ID of each gate. The reading device 10 transmits the read registration gate ID and its passer-by ID to the gate control device 70.

  The gate control device 70 receives the registration gate ID and passer-by ID at the receiving unit 31, and registers the pass permission information of the passer ID in the pass permitter list storage unit 40 by the passability setting generation unit 80.

The registration process to the pass-permitter list storage unit 40 by the passage permission / prohibition setting generation unit 80 will be described. The passability setting generation unit 80 refers to the registration gate ID list storage unit 90. In the registration gate ID list storage unit 90, a list of gate IDs corresponding to the registration gate ID is registered.
The passage permission setting generation unit 80 acquires a gate ID corresponding to the received registration gate ID list, and adds the passer ID to the permitted passer list of the acquired gate ID in the permitted passer list storage unit 40. .

  Further, the pass / fail determination process in the second embodiment is performed in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, when a passer ID is newly registered in the permitted passer list storage unit 40, it is only necessary to read the ID of the registration non-contact ID tag 60. Therefore, it is possible to simplify the new registration work for the passer-by person without requiring a dedicated new ID tag issuing device or a dedicated reader registration device.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an entrance / exit management system 300 according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. The same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1 represent the same components.

  In the third embodiment, the reading device 11 has the same function as the reading device 10, but further includes a personal authentication unit 12. The personal authentication unit 12 verifies the identity of the carrier of the reading device 11 by personal authentication unit such as a password or fingerprint authentication.

  A passage permission determination process according to the third embodiment will be described. When a passer-by tries to pass the gate where the non-contact type ID tag 20 is installed, if the reader 11 that is carried is brought close to the non-contact type ID tag 20, the non-contact type ID tag 20 is not touched by the reader 11 as in the first embodiment. The ID of the contact ID tag 20 is read.

  Further, the passerby inputs a personal identification number to the reading device 11 or reads his / her fingerprint. The personal authentication information input in this manner is processed by the personal authentication means 12 to determine whether or not the reader 11 is a valid owner.

When the personal authentication means 12 determines that the passer is the rightful owner of the reading device 11, the gate ID and passer ID are transmitted to the gate control device 30 as in the first embodiment, and the passage permission is granted. The opening / closing of the gate is controlled based on the contents of the person list storage unit 40.
If the passer is not determined to be a legitimate owner of the reading device 11 by the personal authentication unit 12, the gate ID and the passer ID are not transmitted to the gate controller 30.

  As described above, according to the third embodiment, the reader 11 determines whether or not the user is a legitimate owner by the personal authentication means 12, so that an unauthorized passerby can be found by picking up or the like. Even if an attempt is made to pass through the gate using the obtained reading device 11, the personal authentication means 12 of the reading device 11 can not pass through the gate unless it is confirmed that the person is a legitimate person, so the safety of the system is improved.

  Note that the personal authentication of the third embodiment may be applied during the registration process of the new passer ID in the second embodiment.
