In other words, the management server 22 determines whether or not the current date is an invitation date.

  When the management server 22 has a calendar function, the management server 22 matches the invitation date 23d associated with the customer ID number received from the control unit 15 with the date obtained from the calendar function. It may be determined whether or not. In this case, the control unit 15 does not have to send date / time information to the management server 22.

  The management server 22 executes step S46 if the current date and time is the invitation date and time, and executes step S43 if the current date and time is not the invitation date and time.

  In step S46, the management server 22 determines whether or not the room entry number received from the control unit 15 matches the room entry room number 23e associated with the customer ID number received from the control unit 15 (FIG. 2).

  If the room entry number received from the control unit 15 matches the room entry room number 23e associated with the customer ID number received from the control unit 15, the management server 22 executes step S47. If the entrance room number received from the unit 15 does not match the entrance room number 23e associated with the customer ID number received from the control unit 15, step S43 is executed.

  In step S <b> 47, the management server 22 reads the guest ID number 23 b associated with the customer ID number received from the control unit 15 from the management storage unit 23, and transmits the read guest ID number 23 b to the control unit 15.

  In step S47, the management server 22 reads the guest name 23c associated with the customer ID number 23a received from the control unit 15 from the management storage unit 23, and controls the read guest name 23c together with the guest ID number 23b. You may transmit to the part 15.

  The order of step S44, step S45, and step S46 can be changed as appropriate.

  Returning to FIG. 3, when the control unit 15 receives an answer from the management server 22, the control unit 15 executes Step S <b> 306.

  In step S <b> 306, upon receiving the guest ID number 23 b from the management server 22, the control unit 15 temporarily stores the guest ID number 23 b in the storage unit 13. At this time, when the control unit 15 receives the invited customer name 23 c together with the invited customer ID number 23 b, the control unit 15 outputs the invited customer name 23 c from the display / voice output unit 14. Subsequently, the control unit 15 outputs a display or voice prompting the customer to enter the room from the display / voice output unit 14.

  When the control section 15 finishes step S306, it executes step S307.

  In step S <b> 307, the control unit 15 transmits an unlocking instruction to the electric lock 11. The electric lock 11 is unlocked when receiving the unlocking instruction.

  In step S308, when the electric lock 11 is unlocked, the customer is prompted by the output of the display / audio output unit 14 and enters the room.

  When the customer enters the room, the lock 11 (not shown) is operated to lock the electric lock 11. In addition, if the sensor which detects a customer's entrance is provided, the electric lock 11 will be locked according to the entrance detection of the sensor. When the electric lock 11 is locked, step S309 is executed.

  In step S <b> 309, the electric lock 11 outputs a lock signal to the control unit 15. When receiving the lock signal, control unit 15 executes step S310.

  In step S <b> 310, the control unit 15 outputs a display or audio from the display / audio output unit 14 that prompts the guest to read the card 25 to the card input unit 10 and further invites the guest to enter the room. Further, the control unit 15 causes the time / timer 12 to measure a certain time (for example, 15 seconds).

  In step S <b> 311, the invited guest is prompted by the output of the display / audio output unit 14 to cause the card input unit 10 to read the card 25. When the card input unit 10 reads the guest ID number from the card 25, the card input unit 10 executes Step S312.

  In step S <b> 312, the card input unit 10 outputs the read guest ID number to the control unit 15. When receiving the invited guest ID number, the control unit 15 executes Step S313.

  In step S <b> 313, if the time / timer 12 has not timed a certain time, the control unit 15 collates the accepted guest ID number and the guest ID number stored in the storage unit 13.

  In step S313, if the time / timer 12 has already timed a certain time without accepting the guest ID number, the control unit 15 ends the entry process (verification process) and locks the electric lock 11.

  In step S313, the time / timer 12 has not timed a certain amount of time when the guest ID number is received, and the received guest ID number matches the guest ID number stored in the storage unit 13. And When the control unit 15 finishes step S313, it executes step S314.

  In step S <b> 314, the control unit 15 transmits an unlocking instruction to the electric lock 11. The electric lock 11 is unlocked when receiving the unlocking instruction.

  In step S315, when the electric lock 11 is unlocked, the invited guest is prompted by the output of the display / audio output unit 14 and enters the room.

  When the guest enters the room, the lock 11 (not shown) is operated to lock the electric lock 11. In addition, if the sensor which detects an inviting customer's entrance is provided, the electric lock 11 will be locked according to the entrance detection of the sensor. When the electric lock 11 is closed, step S316 is executed.

  In step S <b> 316, the electric lock 11 outputs a lock signal to the control unit 15. When receiving the lock signal, control unit 15 executes step S317.

  In step S317, the control unit 15 determines whether or not all the cards 25 corresponding to the invited customer ID numbers stored in the storage unit 13 have been authenticated. If it is determined that the authentication has been completed, the entrance end information is stored in the storage unit 13. While storing, the information stored in the storage unit 13 is transmitted to the management server 22. When step S317 ends, the control unit 15 ends the room entry process and locks the electric lock 11.

  If the time / timer 12 measures a certain time without accepting the guest ID number, the control unit 15 outputs a notification indicating that the room cannot be entered to the display / sound output unit 14 or displays the sound, and the management server 22. Send unauthorized access information to.

  Further, even if the card input unit 10 reads the guest ID number from the card 25 after the time / timer 12 measures a certain time, the control unit 15 does not verify the guest ID number and unlocks the electric lock 11. No (Steps S318, S319, S320). Also in this case, the control unit 15 outputs a notification indicating that the room cannot be entered to the display / voice output unit 14 by display or voice, and sends unauthorized access information to the management server 22 (steps S321 and S322).

  Even if the card 25 is read in a situation where the card 26 is not authenticated, the storage unit 13 does not store the guest ID number 23b. Therefore, the control unit 15 treats the reading as unauthorized use, and unauthorized access information. Is sent to the management server 22.

  In the present embodiment, the identification information read by the card input unit 10 matches the customer ID number stored in the management storage unit 23, and the card input unit 10 newly reads the identification information within a certain period of time thereafter. The new identification information and the guest ID number stored in the management storage unit 23 (storage unit 13) are collated, and if the collation result indicates a match, entry into the specific area is permitted.

  For this reason, for example, a user who uses the card 25 in which the guest ID number is recorded cannot enter the specific area unless he / she acts with the user who uses the card 26 in which the customer ID number is recorded. In addition, collation using the guest ID number is performed. For this reason, it becomes possible to manage the entrance to the specific area with high accuracy.

  Moreover, if the management server 22 stores in the management storage unit 23 the time of the response notification executed in step S305 and the reception time of the entry data transmitted by the control unit 15 in step S317, the management server 22 enters and leaves the specific area. You can also manage your history.

  In step S501, the control unit 15 outputs from the display / sound output unit 14 a display or sound that prompts the customer to enter the specific area within a predetermined time (for example, 12 seconds). When finishing the step S501, the control unit 15 executes the step S307, and subsequently executes the step S502.

  In step S502, the control unit 15 causes the time / timer 12 to measure a predetermined time (for example, 12 seconds).

  When the control unit 15 receives the lock signal from the electric lock 11 before the time / timer 12 measures the predetermined time, the control unit 15 executes step S503, while the control unit 15 does not receive the lock signal from the electric lock 11 When the timer 12 counts a predetermined time, the electric lock 11 is locked to prohibit the customer from entering the room.

  In step S <b> 503, the control unit 15 outputs a display or audio from the display / audio output unit 14 that invites the guest to read the card 25 to the card input unit 10 and further prompts the guest to enter the room. Thereafter, the control unit 15 executes step S310 to cause the time / timer 12 to measure a certain time (for example, 15 seconds).

  Moreover, the control part 15 will perform step S504, after complete | finishing step S313.

  In step S <b> 504, the control unit 15 outputs a display or audio from the display / audio output unit 14 that prompts the guest to enter the specific area within a predetermined time (for example, 12 seconds). When finishing step S504, the control unit 15 executes step S314, and subsequently executes step S505.

  In step S505, the control unit 15 causes the time / timer 12 to measure a predetermined time (for example, 12 seconds).

  When the time / timer 12 counts a predetermined time without receiving a lock signal from the electric lock 11, the control unit 15 locks the electric lock 11 and prohibits the guest from entering the room.

  In this example (Example 2), the admission time is limited. For this reason, it becomes possible to manage the entrance into the specific area more strictly.

  Next, an example (Example 3) in the case where there are a plurality of invited guests will be described. The configuration of this embodiment is basically the same as that shown in FIG. 1, but a plurality of cards 25 are issued, and the management storage unit 23 receives the guest ID numbers of the plurality of guests as a customer. Store in association with the ID number.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the third embodiment. In FIG. 6, the same processes as those in FIG. 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals. In the following, processing different from the processing in FIG. 3 will be mainly described.

  In step S311, one of a plurality of invited guests causes the card input unit 10 to read the card 25a distributed to itself. When the card input unit 10 reads the guest ID number from the card 25a, the card input unit 10 executes Step S312.

  Moreover, the control part 15 will perform step S601, if the lock signal which the electric lock 11 output in step S316 is received.

  In step 601, the control unit 15 determines whether or not all the cards 25 corresponding to the guest ID number stored in the storage unit 13 have been authenticated, and determines that all the cards 25 have not been authenticated. / The timer 12 is again timed for a certain time (for example, 15 seconds).

  In step S602, the card input unit 10 reads the card 25b distributed to the other invited guests. When the card input unit 10 reads the guest ID number from the card 25b, the card input unit 10 executes Step S603. Step S603 is the same process as step S312.

  When the control unit 15 receives the invited customer ID number output by the card input unit 10 in step S603, the control unit 15 executes step S604 and step S605. Step S604 is the same processing as step S313, and step S605 is the same processing as step S314.

  In step S606, when the electric lock 11 is unlocked, other invited guests enter the room and operate the lock switch (not shown) to close the electric lock 11. In addition, if the sensor which detects an inviting customer's entrance is provided, the electric lock 11 will be locked according to the entrance detection of the sensor. When the electric lock 11 is locked, step S607 is executed. Step S607 is the same processing as step S316.

  Hereinafter, the control unit 15 determines whether or not all the cards 25 corresponding to the guest ID numbers stored in the storage unit 13 have been authenticated.

  When all the cards 25 corresponding to the guest ID numbers stored in the storage unit 13 are authenticated, the control unit 15 stores the entry completion information in the storage unit 13 and the information stored in the storage unit 13. Is transmitted to the management server 22 and the room entry process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if all the cards 25 corresponding to the guest ID number stored in the storage unit 13 are not authenticated, the control unit 15 executes step S601.

  When the time / timer 12 finishes counting for a certain period of time without the invitation card 25 being input, the control unit 15 ends the entry process at the end of the timer, locks the electric lock 11, and enters the entry end information. Is stored in the storage unit 13 and the information stored in the storage unit 13 is transmitted to the management server 22.

  Even if the guest is a guest, if the guest does not enter the room while the time / timer 12 is counting a certain time, the control unit 15 prohibits the guest from entering the room. Further, even if it is a guest, if the guest performs a room entry process while the time / timer 12 does not count a predetermined time, the control unit 15 determines that the room entry process is illegal, and the management server 22 transmits illegal information.

  In the present embodiment (third embodiment), the management storage unit 23 stores a plurality of types of guest ID numbers.

  Further, when the collation unit 27 indicates that the collation result between the identification information read by the card input unit 10 and the customer ID number 23a matches, and the card input unit 10 reads new identification information within a certain period of time thereafter. The new identification information coincides with any of a plurality of types of guest ID numbers 23b stored in the management storage unit 23 (specifically, a plurality of types of guest ID numbers 23b transferred to the storage unit 13). Check whether or not.

  The collation unit 27 indicates that the collation result indicates coincidence, and when the reading unit further reads new identification information within a predetermined time thereafter, the new identification information is displayed in any of the plurality of types of guest ID numbers 23b. Is matched.

  For this reason, for example, even if there are a plurality of users who use the card 25 in which the guest ID numbers are recorded, it is possible to manage the entry of those users into the specific area with high accuracy.
