The control unit 44 constitutes collation means for determining whether or not the user can pass and electric lock control means for controlling the electric locks 3-1 to 3-3 based on the determination result of whether or not the user can pass.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the entrance / exit management system of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the entrance / exit management system, and FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram showing the operation of the entrance / exit management system. For example, when the user wants to pass through the door 1-1, the user holds the mobile phone 6 possessed by the user over the IC card 2-1. In a storage unit (not shown) of each IC card 2-1 to 2-3, a location ID that is position information unique to the installation location of the IC cards 2-1 to 2-3 is registered in advance.

  When the card interface unit 61 of the mobile phone 6 approaches within the communicable range with the IC card 2-1, it communicates with the IC card 2-1, and requests a location ID from the IC card 2-1. 4 step S1, FIG. 5 step S11), and the place ID is read from the IC card 2-1 (FIG. 4 step S2, FIG. 5 step S12). Here, the location ID is automatically read when the mobile phone 6 approaches the IC card 2-1, but the user who has the mobile phone 6 performs a predetermined operation on the mobile phone 6. Sometimes, the mobile phone 6 may read the location ID from the IC card 2-1.

  Subsequently, the control unit 65 of the mobile phone 6 performs automatic transmission for calling the management device 4 through the transmission / reception unit 60. When the management device 4 responds to this call via the public network, the control unit 65 reads the personal identification ID from the storage unit 64 and collates the personal identification ID with the location ID read from the IC card 2-1. The request is transmitted to the management device 4 (step S3 in FIG. 4, step S13 in FIG. 5).

  When the transmission / reception unit 40 receives a verification request from the public network, the control unit 44 of the management device 4 stores the personal identification ID and location ID included in the verification request and the passage permission information MB1 registered in the storage unit 43 in advance. Based on this, it is determined whether or not the user can pass (step S4 in FIG. 4, step S14 in FIG. 5). FIG. 6 shows an example of the passage permission information MB1. In the passage permission information MB1, a passage permission / prohibition flag is set for each personal identification ID and each place ID. In the example of FIG. 6, “◯” indicates that the vehicle can pass, and “X” indicates that the vehicle cannot pass.

  The control unit 44 determines whether or not the user specified by the personal identification ID can pass through the door specified by the place ID based on the passage permission information MB1. Here, the personal identification ID registered in advance in the mobile phone 6 is “0000000001”, and the location ID registered in advance in the IC card 2-1 is “1”. Since the passability flag corresponding to these personal identification ID and place ID is “◯”, the control unit 44 determines that the pass is allowed.

  When it is determined in step S4 that the passage is permitted, the control unit 44 acquires the address of the electric lock corresponding to the location ID included in the verification request from the address management information MB2 registered in the storage unit 43 in advance. An unlock command signal having the lock address as the destination address is sent to the network 5 (step S5 in FIG. 4, step S15 in FIG. 5). FIG. 7 shows an example of the address management information MB2. The address management information MB2 associates a place ID with an electric lock address.

When the electric lock 3-1 of the door 1-1 receives an unlock command signal having the address of its own device as the destination address from the network 5, it unlocks (step S6 in FIG. 4, step S16 in FIG. 5). Thus, the user can pass through the door 1-1. At this time, the control unit 44 rewrites the traffic history stored in the storage unit 43, and the user identified by the personal identification ID “0000000001” has passed the door 1-1 identified by the location ID “1”. Write to the storage unit 43 as a travel history. As a result, the user's traffic history is recorded in the management device 4.
Note that if the control unit 44 determines that the passage is impossible in step S4, the unlocking command signal is not output, and the user's passage is rejected.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the operation of the IC cards 2-1 to 2-3 and the electric locks 3-1 to 3-3 installed for each door may be inspected, and the door may be moved by personnel movement or the like. Even if the passing user changes, it is only necessary to update the passage permission information MB1 registered in the management device 4, and the IC cards 2-1 to 2-3 and the electric locks 3-1 to 3-3 of each door. Since the passage permission information is not registered, the inspection of the equipment at each door can be facilitated as compared with the entrance / exit management systems disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2. Moreover, if a non-power supply type IC card is used as the IC cards 2-1 to 2-3, it is only necessary to supply power to the electric locks 3-1 to 3-3, so that the power supply to the equipment is simplified. Can be As a result, in the present embodiment, the wiring and inspection of the equipment of each door can be facilitated.

In this embodiment, the personal identification ID stored in the mobile phone 6 is used as an example of the personal identification information, but the telephone number of the mobile phone 6 may be used instead of the personal identification ID.
Further, the management device 4 transmits the determination result in step S4 to the mobile phone 6 through the transmission / reception unit 40, and the control unit 65 of the mobile phone 6 displays the determination result received by the transmission / reception unit 60 on the display unit 63. It may be. Thereby, the user who is denied passage can know the reason why the door does not open.
