  In addition, according to the present invention, since the route map of the key usage location is displayed in association with the key information, the security key usage location can be easily known when the guard loses the key. There is an effect.

  In addition, according to the present invention, the ID embedded in the outer wall or the like of the facility to be guarded is read, and the key information corresponding to this ID is acquired, so the key information of another facility is acquired by mistake. The key information required by the security guard can be quickly obtained.

  Exemplary embodiments of a key management program and a key management apparatus according to the present invention will be explained below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, a typical usage example of the key management program and the key management apparatus according to the present embodiment will be briefly described, and subsequently, the configuration and processing procedure of the key management program and the key management apparatus according to the present embodiment. Will be described.

  First, typical usage examples of the key management program and the key management apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described. The key management apparatus according to the present embodiment is a small information device that can be carried by a security guard, and the key management program according to the present embodiment is a computer program that operates on the device.

  When using this key management device, a unique ID is embedded in the outer wall of the facility to be guarded and the key used to arrive at the site in the facility, and the key management device can read the ID. Is the premise. For example, a barcode or an IC tag can be used to embed the ID.

  It should be noted that the place where the ID is embedded in the outer wall of the facility to be guarded may be anywhere, but it must be a place that can be readily recognized by the visiting security guard. As a suitable ID embedding location, for example, the surface of a sticker indicating a security contract with a security company can be considered. Such a sticker is put on the outer wall near the entrance of the facility to be guarded for the purpose of preventing criminal acts, but has the advantage that it can be easily found because it is a familiar design for the guard. Here, the description will be made on the assumption that a barcode is attached to the sticker.

  When a security device installed in a customer's facility contracted with a security company detects any abnormality, the information is reported to the security company. The operator of the security company sends an instruction to go to the site of the security guard closest to the site where the abnormality is detected.

  The guard who received the instruction and arrived at the building where the report was made goes to the entrance of the building with the key management device, and reads the barcode of the sticker beside the entrance with the key management device. Then, the key management device displays a message that the entrance is not available because it is currently at night, and a route map to the back entrance is displayed. I need to go back to my car and pick up the key.

  When the security guard returns to the car and takes out the instructed key from the key box, the key manager reads the ID of each key in order to check whether the key is missing or incorrect. When it is confirmed that all necessary keys have been taken out without fail, the security guard goes to the designated back door while referring to the route diagram displayed on the key management device.

  The guard who arrives at the back door opens the door using the key that the key management apparatus instructs to use first, and then causes the key management apparatus to read the ID of the key. Then, the display content of the key management device is switched, and a route diagram to the place where the next locked door is located and a message regarding how to proceed are displayed. When the security guard goes through the building according to the instructions, opens the door using the designated key, and loads the key ID into the key management device, the display content of the key management device switches again, and then the key A route map to the place where the door is over and a message about how to proceed are displayed.

  When this is repeated several times, the security guard opens the last door, arrives at the site where the report was made, and reads the last key into the key management device. The details of the work to be performed there are displayed on the key management device. The

  When the security guard who has finished the work on the site locks the door with the key and reads the key ID into the key management device, the display content of the key management device is switched, and then to the place where the door with the unlocked door is located A message about the way back and how to proceed is displayed. When the security guard goes through the building according to the instructions, locks the door using the designated key, and then reads the key ID into the key management device, the display content of the key management device switches again, and then the key A message about the route to go to the place where the door is opened and a message about how to proceed is displayed.

  By repeating this several times, the security guard can leave the building. If you forget to lock the door on the way, an error is displayed on the key management device at the stage where the ID of the key used after locking the next door is read, and you are prompted to lock it back.

  The guard returning to the car returns the key ID used to the key box while reading the key management device. If it is found that there is a shortage of keys, the security guard displays the route map of the place where the key was last used on the key management device and returns it to collect the key. .

  After storing all the keys in the key box and finishing the work, the security guard instructs the key management device to create a report on the current work, and submits the created report to the security company.

  As described above, by using the key management program and the key management device according to the present embodiment, the guard can quickly and surely reach the destination, and can appropriately manage the key.

  Next, the configuration of the key management apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing a configuration of a key management apparatus according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, the key management device 1 includes an ID reading unit 10, a display unit 20, an operation unit 30, a network interface unit 40, a control unit 50, and a storage unit 60.

  The ID reading unit 10 is a device that reads an ID embedded in a barcode, an IC tag, or the like. The key management device according to the present embodiment is based on the premise that a barcode or an IC tag is pasted on the outer wall of the facility to be guarded and the key required to reach the site in the facility, The display content of the screen is changed by reading the ID embedded therein.

  Specifically, when the ID reading unit 10 reads the ID embedded in the outer wall of the facility to be guarded, the key management device 1 is necessary to reach the entrance that can be used to enter the facility and the target site. Displays a list of key information. When the key ID is read, the route to be followed or the work content to be performed next is displayed as an image and a message, and the display of the usage status of the key is updated. As described above, the key management device 1 guides the security guard according to the ID read by the ID reading unit 10 and manages the usage status of the key.

  The display unit 20 is a device that displays images and messages, and includes, for example, a liquid crystal device. The operation unit 30 is a device that receives user input, and includes, for example, a keyboard. The display unit 20 and the operation unit 30 may be an integrated device such as a touch panel.

  The network interface unit 40 is an interface unit for wirelessly connecting to a network such as the Internet. The network interface unit 40 is used when periodically updating various information registered in the storage unit. Note that any wireless connection method may be used.

  The control unit 50 is a control unit that performs overall control of the key management device 1, and includes a facility information acquisition processing unit 51, a route selection processing unit 52, a key information acquisition processing unit 53, a key usage status update unit 54, and a report. And a creation processing unit 55.

  The facility information acquisition processing unit 51 is a processing unit that acquires the customer information and route information to which the security guard is going to reach according to the ID of the outer wall read by the ID reading unit 10. For example, if the destination is a corporate office, the normal entrance may be closed and unavailable during holidays and nights. Therefore, the facility information acquisition processing unit 51 considers the current date, day of the week, and time, and selects and acquires route information that can be used by the security guard at that time.

  Here, if customer information and route information are acquired simply by reading the ID of the outer wall, the security guard can illegally acquire customer information with no abnormality, There is a management problem. Customer information and route information must be handled carefully to protect customer privacy and security. In addition, when there are a plurality of customers who have a security contract in the same building, it is impossible to uniquely determine the destination to which the security guard goes only by reading the ID of the outer wall.

  For this reason, when the operator of the security company instructs the security guard to go to the spot where the abnormality has occurred by telephone or the like, the facility information acquisition processing unit 51 transmits the access code indicating a specific destination in the facility. After the ID of the outer wall is read, the security guard is requested to input the access code. If the access code is not correct, the process is terminated without acquiring the information. When the access code is correct, only the information corresponding to the access code is acquired from the facility information corresponding to the ID of the outer wall. Access codes will not be given to security guards unless necessary, and the codes will be changed periodically. As described above, by using the access code, it is possible to prevent unauthorized acquisition of information, and it is possible to cope with a case where a plurality of customers exist in the same facility.

  The route selection processing unit 52 is a processing unit that selects a route to reach the site in accordance with the read key ID, and displays information on the route and information on work to be performed on the display unit 20. The route selection processing unit 52 switches the display content of the display unit 20 every time the key ID is properly read from when the security guard enters the facility until he leaves the facility.

  The key information acquisition processing unit 53 is a processing unit that acquires key information necessary for the security guard to travel through the facility according to the route information acquired by the facility information acquisition processing unit 51. The key information acquired here is used to manage the key usage status.

  The key usage status update unit 54 is a processing unit that updates the key usage status according to the ID of the read key. Specifically, the status of the key information acquired by the key information acquisition processing unit 53 is updated as follows.

  First, the status of each key when acquired by the key information acquisition processing unit 53 is “not acquired”. When the key ID is read for the first time, the guard removes the key from the key box mounted on the vehicle and assumes that the ID has been read and changes the status of the key to “acquired”. To do. Next, when the key ID is read, the security guard uses the key to open the door and assumes that the ID has been read and changes the status of the key to "unlocked". . When the key ID is read next time, the guard uses the key to close the door, assumes that the ID has been read, and changes the status of the key to “locked”. . Then, when the key ID is read next time, it is assumed that the security guard reads the key ID and returns it to the key box, and the status of the key is set to “accommodated”. change.

  If the key ID is not properly read, the key usage status update unit 54 displays an error on the display unit 20 to notify the security guard of the abnormality and does not update the status of the key information. For example, before all the necessary key IDs are read, when the key ID to be used first is read again, an error is displayed to notify the security guard that there is an omission of key acquisition. An error is also displayed when the key IDs are read in the wrong order while the security guard is moving along the route, and the security guard is notified that the key has been forgotten to be opened or closed. Even if the security guard tries to complete the process before the status of all the keys becomes “accommodated”, an error is displayed to notify the security guard that there is a key storage omission.

  The report creation processing unit 55 is a processing unit that creates report information related to the work of the guard based on the customer information acquired by the facility information acquisition processing unit 51 and the time when the security guard reads each ID.

  The storage unit 60 includes a customer information storage unit 61, a calendar information storage unit 62, a facility information storage unit 63, an image storage unit 64, a route information storage unit 65, a key information storage unit 66, and a report information storage unit 67. And have.

  The customer information storage unit 61 is a storage unit for registering the name, address, contact information, and the like of a customer who has a security contract. This information is mainly used for reporting.

  The calendar information storage unit 62 is a storage unit for registering holiday information of customers who have a security contract in the form of day designation or date designation. This holiday information is used when the facility information acquisition processing unit 51 acquires route information. In addition, holiday information does not need to be held for a customer whose guardian uses the same route on weekdays and holidays like an individual customer.

  The facility information storage unit 63 is a storage unit for registering information on a route used by a security guard and information on a key necessary for using the route in each facility having a security contract. The route used by the security guard is different depending on whether it is the target customer, the time zone, or a holiday even in the same facility, but all patterns are registered here. One path information indicates a path from the reading of a certain ID to the reading of the next ID, and includes at least a pair of images and messages. In addition to the route information, the facility information storage unit 63 can also store information regarding work contents such as a method for operating the security device in the form of a combination of an image and a message.

  The image storage unit 64 is a storage unit for registering image information of route information and work information stored in the facility information storage unit 63. Since the image information has a large amount of information, the entity is stored in the image storage unit 64, and the facility information storage unit 63 stores only the image ID for reading the image information from the image storage unit 64. .

  The route information storage unit 65 is a storage unit that temporarily stores the route information and work information acquired from the facility information storage unit 63 by the facility information acquisition processing unit 51, and the route information selection processing unit 52 displays on the display unit 20. To hold information. FIG. 2 is a data structure diagram illustrating an example of route information stored in the route information storage unit 65. As shown in the figure, the route information storage unit 65 has items of route order, round-trip classification, key ID, page number, message, and image ID.

  The route order holds a serial number indicating the order of each route. The round trip section holds a code indicating whether the route is a forward route until the route arrives at the site or a return route after the route arrives at the site and then leaves the facility. The key ID holds the key ID that triggers the display of the next path information on the display unit 20.

  The route information storage unit 65 takes a form of holding a plurality of combinations of page numbers, messages, and image IDs for one piece of route information, and can cope with a case where there are a plurality of images and messages to be displayed in one route. The page number holds a serial number indicating the page number on which the message and the image are displayed. The message and the image ID hold an ID for acquiring an explanatory text for presenting a route or work content and an image for explanation from the image storage unit 64, respectively.

  The key information storage unit 66 is a storage unit for temporarily storing the key information acquired by the key information acquisition processing unit 53 and managing the usage status of each key. FIG. 3 is a data structure diagram showing an example of key information stored in the key information storage unit 66. As shown in the figure, the key information storage unit 66 has items of order of use, key ID, status, acquisition time, unlocking time, locking time, and storage time.

  The order of use holds a serial number indicating the order in which the security guard uses the key in the outbound path, and the key ID holds the ID of the key read by the ID reading unit 10. The status holds the usage status of the key at that time, and the content transitions in the order of “unacquired” → “acquired” → “unlocked” → “locked” → “accommodated” as described above. The acquisition time, unlocking time, locking time, and storage time record the time when the status changed to “acquired”, “unlocked”, “locked”, and “stored”, respectively.

  The report information storage unit 67 stores information such as the time when the guards performed each work and information on customers to be worked on. In the report information storage unit 67, various types of information necessary for creating a report are stored by the report creation processing unit 55. The information stored here is transmitted to the server device through the network interface unit 40 when the security guard returns to the security company.

  Next, a screen displayed on the display unit 20 in the key management apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described. There are two types of screens displayed on the display unit 20, that is, a time information path display screen and a key information display screen. The route information display screen is a screen for displaying route information or work information, and the key information display screen is a screen for displaying a key usage status. These two screens are switched by selecting the route information display button or the key information display button at the top of the screen.

  FIG. 4 is a sample diagram of a route information display screen showing the route to the entrance. Here, the screen configuration of the route information display screen will be described. A route information display button and a key information display button for switching between a route information display screen and a key information display screen are arranged at the top of the screen. Below that, an image display area and a message display area are arranged. Below that, the total page number and the currently displayed page number are displayed in the form of “page number / total page number” and page switching. Buttons are arranged in a row. An area for displaying a key number to be used next is arranged at the bottom of the screen.

  One of the route information stored in the route information storage unit 65 is displayed on the route information display screen. As already described, the route information storage unit 65 can hold a combination of a plurality of page numbers, messages, and image IDs for one piece of route information. For example, when the route information displayed on the route information display screen holds three sets of page numbers, a combination of a message and an image ID, the total number of pages is displayed as 3, and the page numbers are 1 to 3. Either one is displayed. In addition, an image acquired from the image storage unit 64 using the same set of image IDs as the page number is displayed in the image display area, and a message of the same set as the page number is displayed in the message display area. The key ID value is displayed in the area for displaying the key number to be used next.

  FIG. 4 is a sample screen displayed after reading the ID embedded in the outer wall of the facility and confirming that the access code entered by the security guard is correct. As shown in the figure, in this sample scene, the nearest entrance of the place where the guard read the ID cannot be used for some reason, so the guard is guided to another available entrance. Furthermore, since a key is required to reach the site, the guards are encouraged to take out the key and read the key ID.

  FIG. 5 is a sample diagram of a key information display screen. Here, the screen configuration of the key information display screen will be described. A route information display button and a key information display button for switching between a route information display screen and a key information display screen are arranged at the top of the screen. Below that, there is an area for displaying a list of key information, and further below that there are a forward path display button and a return path display button for displaying path information of the scene where the key is used. A message area for displaying an error message or the like is arranged below these buttons, and a report creation button for creating a report is arranged at the bottom.

  In the area for displaying a list of key information on the key information screen, the use order of information stored in the key information storage unit 66, key IDs, and status item values are all displayed. The status value is updated by the key usage status update unit 54 every time the ID reading unit 10 reads the key ID. Also, when one of the key information displayed in this area is selected and the forward path display button or the backward path display button is selected, the path information display screen for displaying the path information of the scene where the key is used in the forward path or the backward path The screen switches to. In this case, specifically, the route information is searched from the route information storage unit 65 using the round trip classification and the key ID as search conditions, and the corresponding route information is displayed on the route information display screen.

  FIG. 5 is a sample diagram of a screen displayed after the security guard has taken out the key displayed on the screen from the key box and read the ID of the first key. Only the status of the key from which the ID has been read is updated to “acquired”, and the statuses of the other keys remain in the initial state “not acquired”. Here, after reading the IDs of all the keys displayed in the list and changing the status of the list to “acquired”, the door is opened using the first key and the ID of the key is read. The screen is switched and a route information display screen showing the route in the facility is displayed.

  FIGS. 6A and 6B are sample diagrams of a route information display screen showing routes within the facility. This route has two pages of information to separately display route maps before and after climbing the elevator. When the security guard acts in accordance with this screen and uses the key specified on the screen to read the ID of the key, the display content of the route information display screen is switched and the next route information or work content is displayed.

  Next, the key management apparatus according to the present embodiment and the guard guidance process procedure will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the key management apparatus 1 shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the processing procedure of the key management device 1 is roughly divided into three processes.

  The guidance preparation process (step S101) is a process performed before the security guard enters the facility. Specifically, it collects information according to the ID of the read outer wall, displays the route to the available entrance and a list of keys required to reach the site, and finds the necessary keys. This is the process up to confirming that everything has been removed.

  The guidance process (step S102) is a process that is performed until the security guard enters the facility, reaches the site, performs some work, and goes out of the facility. Specifically, this corresponds to the process of switching the route information or work information displayed on the screen according to the read key ID and updating the key usage status.

  The post-guidance process (step S103) is a process performed after the security guard goes out of the facility. Specifically, a process for confirming that all used keys have been stored and creating a report on the work performed corresponds to this process.

  Next, the procedure of the guidance preparation process shown in FIG. 7 will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the guidance preparation process shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, when the ID reading unit 10 reads the ID embedded in the outer wall of the facility (step S201), a message requesting to input the access code notified from the operator is displayed on the display unit 20. If the input access code is not appropriate (No at Step S202), the process is stopped and the initial state is restored.

  When an appropriate access code is input (Yes at step S203), customer information of the customer corresponding to the access code is acquired (step S204), and the acquired customer is secured with a storage area for storing report information. Information is stored (step S205). Further, the system time is acquired in order to obtain the current time (step S206), and it is confirmed whether or not the customer falls on a holiday by referring to the calendar information storage unit 62 (step S207).

  Then, the route information for reaching the location corresponding to the access code acquired above is acquired from the facility information storage unit 63 in consideration of the current time and whether the customer is on holiday, and the acquired route information is routed. The information is stored in the information storage unit 65 (step S208). Further, the key information included in the acquired route information is extracted, and the status is stored as “not acquired” in the key information storage unit 66 (step S209).

  When the necessary information has been acquired in this way, the information is displayed on the route information screen and the key information screen, and further a message is displayed on the display unit 20 requesting that the necessary key be taken out and the key ID be read. To do.

  Then, if the key ID is read (step S211), it is confirmed whether the key ID corresponds to the key information stored in the key information storage unit 66, and if not (No in step S212). ), An error message is displayed on the display unit 20 (step S213), and the next ID is read.

  When the key ID corresponding to any of the key information is read (Yes at step S212), the status of the key information is updated to “acquired”, and the status of the key information screen is also changed (step S214). Then, it is confirmed whether or not the status of all the key information stored in the key information storage unit 66 has been updated to “acquired”. If “unacquired” remains (No in step S215), the next ID is read. If all have been updated to “acquire” (Yes at step S215), the guide preparation process is terminated.

  Next, the procedure of the guidance process shown in FIG. 7 will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the guidance process shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, when the key ID is read (step S301), it is checked whether or not the key is the next key to be used by referring to the path information storage unit 65, and an appropriate key is obtained. If not (No at Step S302), an error message is displayed on the display unit 20 (Step S303), and the next ID is read.

  If it is an appropriate key (Yes at Step S302), the route information displayed on the route information display screen is switched to the next route information (Step S304). Then, the status of the corresponding key information in the key information storage unit 66 is updated to “unlocked” in the case of the outbound path, updated to “locked” in the case of the inbound path, and the status of the key information screen is similarly changed ( Step S305).

  If the route information displayed on the route information display screen in step S304 is not the last route (No in step S306), the next ID is waited to be read. If the route information is the last route (Yes in step S306), the guidance process is terminated. .

  Next, the processing procedure of the post-guidance processing shown in FIG. 7 will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure of post-guidance processing illustrated in FIG. As shown in the figure, when an input is accepted, the type of the input is determined (step S401).

  If the input is a key ID (step S402 key ID), it is confirmed whether the key ID corresponds to the key information stored in the key information storage unit 66, and if not (step S403). No), an error message is displayed on the display unit 20 (step S404), and the next input is awaited.
