Description

  The present invention relates to an entrance / exit management apparatus that is applied to a place where entry / exit of a person is to be managed, and more particularly, to an entrance / exit management apparatus suitable for more precise entrance / exit management.

  There are many places where people should be managed, such as buildings, facilities, and equipment. When such management is required, for the automatic entrance / exit management of entrance and exit, for example, a method of reading an ID card carried by an entrance / exit person and controlling unlocking / locking of a door or the like as a result is used. Has been. This method cannot cope with forgery of ID cards. Thus, in recent years, many techniques for reading biometric information and authenticating whether or not the person is a legitimate visitor / exit have been put into practical use. There are various types of biometric information used, such as face images, fingerprints, irises, voiceprints, vein patterns, and the like.

Specific examples of such biometric information authentication techniques include those described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-215308 (Patent Document 1) or Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-288666 (Patent Document 2). Patent Document 1 discloses a “biometric information authentication device” in which a predetermined process is constructed for the purpose of increasing both the person passing rate and the stranger exclusion rate. Patent Document 2 discloses a “person verification device” that generates registration information of biometric information for each use without registering biometric information in advance.

  An entrance / exit management device that uses biometric information may take time to cause discomfort for the user (entrance / exit) depending on the degree of burden required for the authentication process. There is no mention in the above-mentioned patent document from the viewpoint of such user discomfort.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances. In an entrance / exit management apparatus applied to a place where entry / exit of a person should be managed, authentication using biometric information is performed and more practical entrance / exit It is an object of the present invention to provide an entrance / exit management device that can be managed.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, an entrance / exit management device according to the present invention includes a first reading unit that reads biometric information of a visitor, and admission permission based on the biometric information read by the first reading unit. A first signal generating unit that generates a signal to the effect, a first output unit that can output the generated signal to an external first unlocking / locking unit, and authentication of the read biometric information And a first authentication unit that performs processing and holds the result.

  In other words, this entrance / exit management device operates to give admission permission on the condition that biometric information is read when entering. The read biometric information is sent to the authentication process, but depending on the result, the entrance permission operation is not affected. If authentication cannot be obtained, it will be dealt with separately. If at least the authentication process is performed by reading the biometric information at the time of entrance, it is possible to retroactively detect unauthorized entrance. Thereby, although the authentication which utilizes biometric information is performed, the entrance / exit management apparatus which can manage practical entrance / exit without taking the time of authentication can be provided.

  According to the entrance / exit management apparatus according to the present invention, authentication using biometric information can be performed and more practical entrance / exit management can be performed.

  As an embodiment of the present invention, a second reading unit that reads the biometric information of the exited person, a second authentication unit that performs an authentication process of the read out biometric information of the exited person, and authentication by the second authenticating unit A second signal generation unit that generates a signal indicating permission to leave based on the obtained signal, and a signal generated by the second signal generation unit can be output to an external second unlocking / locking unit And a second output unit. That is, for example, when the management at the time of entrance is not so strict, the entrance / exit can be managed by permitting the exit by authentication based on biometric information at the time of exit.

  Moreover, as an embodiment, when authentication is not obtained by the first authentication unit, a notification unit that notifies the fact may be further provided. When authentication is not obtained at the time of admission, for example, a staff member can take measures such as individually paying attention to a visitor who seems to be fraudulent.

  Here, it further includes a recording unit that records the time when the biological information is read by the first reading unit and the ID of the first reading unit, and the notification unit notifies that the authentication is not obtained. At this time, the biometric information for which the authentication could not be obtained, the time when the biometric information recorded by the recording unit was read, and the ID of the first reading unit may also be notified. It is intended to notify as much information as possible about visitors who are considered fraudulent.

  Further, as an embodiment, authentication is performed by a third reading unit that reads an ID card carried by the attendant, a third authentication unit that performs authentication processing of the read ID card, and the third authentication unit. A third signal generator that generates a signal indicating admission permission based on the obtained signal, and the signal generated by the first signal generator and the signal generated by the third signal generator; A third output unit capable of performing a product operation and outputting the result signal to the external first unlocking / locking means, and when no signal is output from the output of the third output unit The signal may not be output from the first output unit to the external first unlocking / locking means. This uses authentication by ID card together. That is, at the time of admission, this is permitted by reading the result of authentication by the ID card and reading biometric information (not authentication).

  Further, a fourth reading unit that reads the ID card carried by the exit person, a fourth authentication unit that performs authentication processing of the ID card read by the fourth reading unit, and authentication by the fourth authentication unit The signal generated by the second signal generation unit is generated by a fourth signal generation unit that generates a signal indicating permission to leave based on the obtained signal, and the signal generated by the fourth signal generation unit And a fourth output unit capable of outputting the result signal to an external second unlocking / locking means, and when the signal is not output by the fourth output unit, The signal may not be output from the second output unit to the external second unlocking / locking means. This also uses ID card authentication. That is, when leaving, this is permitted by both authentication using an ID card and authentication using biometric information.

  In addition, as an embodiment, a second storage unit that stores the ID of the ID card read by the third reading unit based on the fact that the first authentication unit has not been authenticated, A fourth reading unit that reads an ID card that is carried; and a fourth reading unit that generates an exit permission signal when the ID read by the fourth reading unit is not stored in the second storage unit. You may make it further comprise a signal production | generation part and the 4th output part which can output the signal produced | generated by the said 4th signal production | generation part to an external 2nd unlocking / locking means.

  This is an apparatus that realizes another method in the case of using authentication with an ID card together. That is, a visitor who has not been authenticated by the biometric information at the time of entry is stored and held as information of the ID of the carried ID card, and at the time of exit, only by reading the ID card (reading biometric information at the time of exit) This is to detect the unauthorized entry of those who leave. According to this, the burden at the time of leaving is light for general visitors.

  As an embodiment, the biological information may be face information as a captured image. As described above, when face information is used as the biological information, the biological information can be captured without bringing the living body into contact with the reading unit. It is a biometric information reading that is physically and burdensome for visitors.

  As an embodiment, the third reading unit and the fourth reading unit may wirelessly read the ID card carried by the attendee and the ID card carried by the exit person, respectively. . If an ID card that can communicate information wirelessly is used, the operation required for reading the ID card can be facilitated for the visitors. For example, the ID card may be in the form of a card that is inserted into an in-vehicle device used in an ETC (electronic toll collection) system.

  Here, a first vehicle controller as the first unlocking / locking means and a second vehicle controller as the second unlocking / locking means may be further provided. This corresponds to a case where an entrance / exit person enters and exits a vehicle. For example, the present invention can be applied to a case where a large or large amount of goods mounted on a vehicle is delivered / shipped, or a large-scale monthly parking lot.

  Based on the above, embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an entrance / exit management apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. In each of the following embodiments, face information as a captured image is taken as biometric information, but other biometric information can also be adopted. As shown in FIG. 1, the entrance / exit management device includes a management device main body 1, face information reading units 2 and 3 as biological information reading units, and a notification unit 4. The entrance / exit management of the entrance / exit is performed between the outside and inside separated by the door 20 or the like, which requires entrance / exit management. The face information reading unit 2 is provided outside the door 20, and the face information reading unit 3 is provided inside the door 20.

  The management apparatus main body 1 includes a face information authentication unit 11, a recording unit 12, a signal generation unit 13, and an output unit 14, and mainly performs predetermined information processing. The output of the output unit 14 is connected to the unlocking / locking means 21 of the door 20, and the door 20 is brought into either unlocking / locking state by the output.

  The face information reading unit 2 captures an image centering on a face portion of a person (entrance) standing in front of it. An image including at least a face obtained by imaging (hereinafter referred to as image information) is sent to the face information authentication unit 11. Further, when the imaging is completed, the signal generation unit 13 is notified of that. The face information reading unit 3 captures an image centering on a face portion of a person (exit person) standing facing the front in front of it. Image information obtained by imaging is sent to the authentication unit 11.

  The notification unit 4 is connected from the face information authentication unit 11 of the management apparatus main body 1 and notifies the fact when the authentication is not obtained by the face information authentication unit 11. It is installed in the room where is packed. The notification unit 4 may also be connected from a management device body (other doors provided for management) other than those shown in the figure. Or the structure which provides the management apparatus main body 1 in the same room in which the alerting | reporting part 4 is provided, and can complete the management apparatus main body 1 as a whole is also considered.

  The face information authentication unit 11 of the management apparatus body 1 performs authentication processing on the face image sent from the face information reading unit 2 or 3 with reference to face information registered in advance in the recording unit 12 (described in the next paragraph). Is what you do. The specific process of the authentication process is, for example, extraction of a face part included in an image, calculation of a feature amount in the extracted face part, comparison with a feature amount of each registered face information, and authentication determination. As such face information authentication technology itself, a publicly known one can be used.

  The authentication result in the face information authentication unit 11 is held there and then recorded in the recording unit 12. In addition, the recording unit 12 has a built-in clock function, the time of authentication processing, the ID of the face information reading unit 2 or 3 that has sent the image information for authentication, and the image information when authentication is not obtained Is also recorded in the recording unit 12. Further, when the authentication unit 11 cannot obtain the authentication, the image information, the authentication processing time, and the ID of the reading unit 2 are sent to the notification unit 4.

  The recording unit 12 registers face information in advance. In addition, as described above, authentication processing time of face information from each reading unit 2, 3, ID of the face information reading unit 2 or 3 that has sent image information for authentication, authentication result, and authentication are obtained. It also functions for recording image information when it is not possible.

  The signal generation unit 13 generates an admission permission signal by receiving a signal indicating that face information has been read (imaged) from the reading unit 2 provided outside. Further, authentication processing is performed by the authentication unit 11 based on image information from the reading unit 3 provided on the inner side, and when authentication is obtained, an exit permission signal is generated. The generated signal is sent to the output unit 14.

  The output unit 14 outputs the sent signal to the unlocking / locking means 21 of the door 20. Specifically, the locking / unlocking means 21 is configured to include an actuator, for example, and the movable member of the actuator is mechanically displaced by the electric signal from the output unit 14 to change the unlocked state or the locked state. It is to set.

  Next, a series of operations of the entrance / exit management apparatus described above will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the operation at the time of entrance will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an operation flow (at the time of entry) of the entrance / exit management apparatus shown in FIG.

  First, the entrance / exit management device is in a standby state until face information reading unit 2 inputs face information as biometric information (step 31). When the attendee approaches the face information reading unit 2 and inputs the face information, the face information reading unit 2 reads (captures) the face information (step 32). Thereby, the signal generation part 13 produces | generates the signal to the effect of admission permission (step 33). The generated signal indicating admission permission is output to the unlocking / locking means 21 via the output unit 14. The unlocking / locking means 21 brings the door 20 into an unlocked state. Thereby, the visitors can open the door 20 and enter. When the door is opened and then closed again, the unlocking / locking means 21 locks the door 20. In the above process, the reading of the biological information is performed in a non-contact manner, and the door 20 is unlocked regardless of the authentication of the biological information, so that the burden on the visitor is physically and temporally light.

  On the other hand, the read face information is subjected to an authentication process in the face information authentication unit 11 (step 35). As a result of the authentication process, the time and the ID of the reading unit 2 are recorded in the recording unit 12 (step 36). When authentication is not obtained, the face information, time, and ID of the reading unit are sent to the notification unit 4 (step 37). By the notification (step 38) by the notification unit 4, the attendant can recognize the visitors who seem to be illegal. In addition, since face information is used as biometric information in this embodiment, the face can be recognized. An attendant can restrict entry / exit shortly after admission, by individually responding to visitors who appear to be fraudulent.

  In addition, when it is not necessary to perform entrance / exit restrictions that do not require entry, for example, when it is only necessary for the attendee to recognize that the entrance was considered to be fraudulent, the notification unit 4 at the time of entry There is no need to notify staff. In this case, an exit permission operation that reflects the authentication result of biometric information such as face information at the time of exit is performed.

  FIG. 3 illustrates an example of such an exit process, and is a flowchart showing an operation flow (at the time of exit) of the entrance / exit management apparatus shown in FIG. First, the entrance / exit management apparatus is in a standby state until face information is input to the face information reading unit 3 (step 41). When the exit person approaches the face information reading unit 3 and inputs the face information, the face information reading unit 2 reads (captures) the face information (step 42).

  The read face information is subjected to an authentication process in the face information authentication unit 11 (step 43). If authentication is obtained here, this is provided to the signal generation unit 13, and the signal generation unit 13 generates a signal indicating permission to leave (step 44). The generated signal indicating permission to leave is output to the unlocking / locking means 21 via the output unit 14 (step 45). The unlocking / locking means 21 brings the door 20 into an unlocked state. Thereby, the attendee can open the door 20 and enter. The authentication result, time, and ID of the reading unit 3 are recorded in the recording unit 12.

  In this case, the exit person has a burden of waiting in time until the authentication process is completed. However, when the entrance / exit restriction as described in the description at the time of entrance is executed, it is conceivable that the management apparatus is operated after the authentication of the biometric information is canceled at the time of exit. According to this, the burden at the time of leaving is greatly reduced.

  Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an entrance / exit management apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is intended to perform entry / exit management in combination with an ID card (of a type that is inserted into an on-vehicle device) that transmits internal information through wireless communication. Entry / exiters can enter and leave the vehicle while riding. It can be considered that the vehicle is authenticated by the ID card and the person is authenticated by the face information.

  As shown in FIG. 4, gate-like vehicle passages for visitors and exits are provided between inside and outside where entry / exit management is required. Is separated. Vehicle controllers 64 and 68 serving as unlocking / locking means for blocking the progress of the vehicle are provided at the back of the vehicle passages for visitors and exits, respectively. An onboard device (not shown) is mounted on the admission vehicle 61, and an ID card 61a is inserted therein. The ID card 61a can communicate wirelessly with a predetermined external device near the vehicle-mounted device. The same applies to the leaving vehicle 65 and the ID card 65a.

  For visitors, a first main body 50 of the entrance / exit management device, a face information reading unit (camera) 62, an ID card reading unit (antenna) 63, and the vehicle controller 64 are provided. For those who leave, a second main body 70 of the entrance / exit management device, a face information reading unit (camera) 66, an ID card reading unit 67, and the vehicle controller 68 are provided.

  The first main body 50 of the entrance / exit management device includes a signal generation unit 51, a face information authentication unit 52, a recording unit 53, an ID card authentication unit 54, a signal generation unit 55, and a product calculation unit 56, and mainly at the time of entrance. The predetermined information processing is performed. The output of the product calculation unit 56 is connected to the vehicle controller 64, whereby the raising / lowering of the blocking bar is controlled.

  The face information reading unit 62 is provided, for example, above the vehicle passage, and captures an image centered on a face portion such as a driver of the entrance vehicle 61. Image information obtained by imaging is sent to the face information authentication unit 52. In addition, when the imaging is completed, the signal generation unit 51 is notified of that. The ID card reading unit 63 is provided, for example, above the vehicle passage, and acquires contents of the ID card 61a by wireless communication with the ID card 61a mounted on the entrance vehicle 61. For the ID card reading unit 63 and the ID card 61a, the technology used in the existing ETC system, for example, can be applied.

  The second main body 70 of the entrance / exit management device includes a face information authentication unit 71, a recording unit 72, a signal generation unit 73, an ID card authentication unit 74, a signal generation unit 75, and a product calculation unit 76, and mainly at the time of exit. The predetermined information processing is performed. The output of the product calculation unit 76 is connected to the vehicle controller 68, and thereby the raising / lowering of the blocking bar is controlled.

  The face information reading unit 66 is provided, for example, above the vehicle passage, and captures an image centered on a face portion such as a driver of the leaving vehicle 65. Image information obtained by imaging is sent to the face information authentication unit 71. The ID card reading unit 67 is provided, for example, above the vehicle passage, and acquires the content of the ID card 65a mounted on the leaving vehicle 65 by wireless communication. The technology used in the existing ETC system, for example, can also be applied to the ID card reading unit 67 and the ID card 65a.

  The face information authentication unit 52 of the first main body 50 of the management apparatus authenticates the face information sent from the face information reading unit 62 with reference to face information registered in the recording unit 53 in advance (described in the next paragraph). The processing is performed. The authentication process is the same as that of the face information authentication unit 11 in the previous embodiment. The authentication result in the face information authentication unit 52 is held there and then recorded in the recording unit 53.

  The recording unit 53 registers face information in advance. Further, it may function for recording the ID of the reading unit 62, the authentication processing time of face information from the reading unit 62, the authentication result, and image information when authentication is not obtained. Further, it has a predetermined function for reading an ID card (described later). The signal generation unit 51 generates an admission permission signal by receiving from the reading unit 62 a signal indicating that face information has been read (captured). The generated signal is sent to the product calculation unit 56.

  The ID card authentication unit 54 refers to information registered in the recording unit 53 in advance, and performs an authentication process on the ID card 61 a read by the ID card reading unit 63. The authentication result in the ID card authentication unit 54 is recorded in the recording unit 53. If authentication is obtained, the signal generation unit 55 is notified accordingly. Thus, the signal generation unit 55 generates a signal indicating that the admission is permitted. The generated signal is sent to the product calculation unit 56.

  The product calculation unit 56 calculates the product of the admission permission signal from the signal generation unit 51 and the admission permission signal from the signal generation unit 55, and outputs the result signal to the vehicle controller 64.

  The face information authentication unit 71 of the second main body 70 of the management apparatus authenticates the face information sent from the face information reading unit 66 with reference to face information registered in advance in the recording unit 72 (described in the next paragraph). The processing is performed. The authentication process is the same as that of the face information authentication unit 11 in the previous embodiment. The authentication result in the face information authentication unit 71 is held there and then recorded in the recording unit 72.

  The recording unit 72 registers face information in advance. Further, it may function for recording the ID of the reading unit 66, the authentication processing time of face information from the reading unit 66, the authentication result, image information when authentication is not obtained, and the like. Further, it has a predetermined function for reading an ID card (described later). The signal generation unit 73 generates an admission permission signal by receiving a signal indicating that authentication has been obtained in the face information authentication unit 71. The generated signal is sent to the product calculation unit 76.

  The ID card authentication unit 74 refers to information registered in the recording unit 72 in advance, and performs an authentication process on the ID card 65 a read by the ID card reading unit 67. The authentication result in the ID card authentication unit 74 is recorded in the recording unit 72. If authentication is obtained, the signal generation unit 75 is notified accordingly. Thereby, the signal generation unit 75 generates a signal indicating admission permission. The generated signal is sent to the product calculation unit 76.

  The product calculation unit 76 calculates the product of the admission permission signal from the signal generation unit 73 and the admission permission signal from the signal generation unit 75 and outputs the result signal to the vehicle controller 68.

  Next, a series of operations of the entrance / exit management apparatus described above will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the operation at the time of admission will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an operation flow (when entering) of the entrance / exit management apparatus shown in FIG.

  First, when the ID card 61a is read by the ID card reading unit (antenna) 63 in response to the entrance of the entering vehicle 61 (Y in Step 81), the management device stores the face information as biometric information in the face information reading unit 62. The process waits until there is an input (step 82). When a person who has entered the entrance vehicle 61 proceeds to a predetermined position and inputs face information, the face information reading unit 62 reads (captures) the face information (step 83).

  The ID of the read ID card 61a is authenticated by the ID card authenticating unit 54 (step 84). If this authentication is obtained, an admission permission signal is generated by the product calculation unit 56 as a result (step 85). This is because the signal generation unit 51 has already generated an admission permission signal by reading the face information, and the product operation unit 56 performs a product operation on this result and the admission permission signal obtained when the ID card authentication unit 54 has obtained authentication. This is because that. The generated admission permission signal is output to the vehicle controller 64 as unlocking / locking means (step 86). As a result, the vehicle controller 64 raises the blocking bar, and even if the biometric information authentication process takes a certain amount of time, the admission vehicle 61 can easily enter non-stop because it does not wait for the result. . After entering, the blocking bar is set to the blocking state again.

  On the other hand, the read face information is subjected to an authentication process in the face information authentication unit 52 (step 87). The authentication result by the ID card authentication unit 54, the time, the IDs of the reading units 62 and 63, and the like are recorded in the recording unit 53 together with the authentication result (step 88). In the above process, the reading of the biometric information is performed in a non-contact and traveling vehicle and the vehicle controller 64 is released from the shut-off state regardless of the biometric information authentication. Is possible. In this embodiment as well, as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, it is of course possible to provide a notification section that notifies that fact when face information authentication is not obtained. According to this, it is possible to execute entrance / exit restriction soon after entry.

  In this embodiment, at the time of leaving, a leaving permission operation reflecting the authentication result of biometric information such as face information is performed. FIG. 6 explains an example of such an exit process, that is, a flowchart showing an operation flow (at the time of exit) of the entrance / exit management apparatus shown in FIG.

  First, the management apparatus is in a standby state until face information as biometric information is input to the face information reading unit 66 (step 91). When the exit person who gets on the exit vehicle 65 proceeds to a predetermined position and the face information is input, the face information reading unit 66 reads (captures) the face information (step 92). In this case, the face information may be read on the condition that the vehicle is stopped. This is because whether to leave or not depends on the authentication result of face information. In order to stop the vehicle, for example, a stop line (stop region) is provided on the road surface so as to stop the leaving vehicle 65 in an appropriate position region within the imaging range of the face information reading unit 66.

  Further, the ID card reading section (antenna) 67 reads the ID card 65a (step 93). Then, the face information authentication unit 71 performs the authentication process for the read face information, and the ID card authentication unit 74 performs the authentication process for the read ID card 65a (steps 94 and 95). If both of these authentication processes are authenticated, an exit permission signal is finally generated by the product calculation unit 76 (step 96), and the generated exit permission signal is generated by the vehicle controller 68 as unlocking / locking means. (Step 97). As a result, the blocking bar of the vehicle controller 68 is raised, and the exit vehicle 65 can exit. After leaving, the blocking bar is set to the blocking state again. Both authentication results, time, IDs of the reading units 66 and 67 are recorded in the recording unit 72 (step 98).

  Also in this case, the exit person has a burden of waiting in time until the face information authentication process is completed. However, if the entrance / exit restriction as described in the description at the time of entrance is executed, the management device is operated only by the authentication of the ID card by canceling the biometric information authentication at the time of exit. Is also possible. According to this, the burden at the time of leaving is greatly reduced.

  In the above embodiments, it can be considered that vehicle authentication is performed using an ID card, and person authentication is performed using face information. However, in the embodiment of entering / leaving a person as shown in FIG. 1 instead of entering / exiting by a vehicle, an entrance / exit management apparatus using authentication with an ID card can be configured based on the same idea. Various known cards (for example, magnetic cards, IC cards, non-contact IC cards, etc.) can be used as the ID card.

  Next, still another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an entrance / exit management device according to still another embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 7, the same components as those shown in FIG. 4 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted. In this embodiment, compared to the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the burden on the exit person at the time of exit and the processing burden on the apparatus are reduced.

  Schematically speaking, the configuration necessary for the process at the time of entry and the processing procedure thereof are substantially the same as those of the embodiment shown in FIG. If the face information is read and the ID card 61a is authenticated, admission is permitted. The difference is that if authentication is not obtained in the authentication process for the read face information, the fact and the ID of the corresponding ID card 61a are recorded in the recording unit 53a. Based on this record, at the time of exit processing, the recording unit 53a is inquired about the ID obtained by reading the ID card 65a of the exit vehicle 65. According to this, it is easily realized that a legitimate exit person and the exit vehicle 65a exit the vehicle non-stop.

  For exit processing, the entrance / exit management device includes a signal generation unit 100 having a connection from the ID card reading unit 67 and a mutual connection with the recording unit 53a, and an output unit 110 connected from the signal generation unit 100. Have. The output unit 110 has a connection to the vehicle controller 68.

  The operation at the time of leaving will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an operation flow (when leaving) of the entrance / exit management apparatus shown in FIG. When the leaving vehicle 65 approaches the ID card reading unit (antenna) 67 and the ID card reading unit 67 reads the ID card 65a (Y in Step 101), the signal generation unit 100 stores the obtained ID in the recording unit 53a. It is checked whether authentication by face information has been obtained at the time of inquiry and entry (step 102).

  Here, if authentication by face information is obtained, that is, if fraudulent information is not recorded in the recording unit 53a, an exit permission signal is generated (step 103), and this is unlocked / locked via the output unit 110 It outputs to the vehicle controller 68 as a means (step 104). As a result, the blocking bar of the vehicle controller 68 is raised, and the exit vehicle 65 can exit. After leaving, the blocking bar is set to the blocking state again. If the fraudulent fact is recorded in the recording unit 53a, the vehicle controller 68 remains in the shut-off state as a result. In this case, for example, a staff member individually corresponds to the leaving vehicle 65.
