  Next, an example of a guest card issuance procedure for visitors will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of a guest card issuance procedure for visitors. In FIG. 7, when a visitor V visits, if a visitor touches the touch panel 13a of the reception system interphone 13 installed at the reception in the building (step S1), the reception system interphone 13 touches the touch panel 13a. While displaying a selection screen showing a department and name for selecting a visit destination, the camera captures the face of a visitor and generates face image data from the captured data. The generated face image data may be displayed on a display device provided in the selected department. Here, the selection screen may display names in order, and the first character of the name (for example, when the selectable visitor designation is “Sato XX”, the first character is “sa”) ) May be displayed to display the nomination starting from the first character and allow visitors to select. Further, the department name may be displayed, and when the department name is selected and input by the visitor, the name of the employee belonging to the department may be displayed and selected. When the name of the visited place is selected and input from the touch panel 13a, the reception system intercom 13 transmits the input name data and face image data to the control device 20 (step S2). The control device 20 specifies the office PC 90 used by the other party corresponding to the name data, transmits the face image data to the office PC 90, and notifies that there is a visitor. When notified from the control device 20, the office room PC 90 displays the face image data transmitted from the control device 20 on the display (step S6), and displays a message screen indicating that the visitor has come. Release the message sound. Here, when the presence management function of the officeware PC 90 detects that the user is present, the process proceeds to step S6. On the other hand, when it is detected that the user is not present, the face image data is output to the office room PC 90 of the user near the user and a message is output to select whether or not to respond. The image of is displayed. If a button indicating no response is pressed, or if no one responds even after a predetermined time has elapsed, the process ends. On the other hand, when the button indicating that a response is made is pressed, the process proceeds to step S6.

  The user of the office room PC 90 looks at the displayed face image data and presses a button indicating whether or not he / she is a partner to be met. Based on the pressed button, the office room PC 90 transmits information indicating whether or not to meet to the control device 20 (step S7). The control apparatus 20 complete | finishes a process, when visit rejection is instruct | indicated.

  On the other hand, when an instruction to permit the visit is given, the office room PC 90 performs a display for selecting whether or not to transmit the image of the user (self) (step S8), and the image transmission is permitted by the user. Then, the user's face is imaged by the camera, and the captured face image data is transmitted to the reception system interphone 13 via the control device 20 and displayed on the touch panel of the reception system interphone 13 (step S9). On the other hand, when the transmission of the image is rejected, the pseudo image screen data, which is another image that is not the user's own face, is transmitted to the reception system interphone 13 via the control device 20, and the reception system interphone 13 It is displayed on the touch panel (step S10).

  When the image is transmitted from the office PC 90 to the reception system interphone 13, the control device 20 transmits and receives audio information between the reception system interphone 13 and the office PC 90 to establish a conversation (step S11). Then, the control device 20 terminates the process when an instruction to reject the visit is input from the office room PC 90, and when an instruction to permit the visit is input, a message for requesting the number of visitors to be input A message for causing the registration name reader 12 to read an identification card such as a visitor's business card is displayed on the touch panel of the reception system intercom 13.

When the visitor inputs the number of people from the reception system intercom 13 (step S13), the business card is set at the reading position of the registration name reader 12 (step S14), and the surface of the business card is read by the registration name reader 12. The registered name reader 12 sends the image data of the business card read to the controller 20 to the controller 20 to the controller 20. Here, the business card may be read for each of the entered number of business cards, or the business card of the representative may be read to input the total number of people. The control device 20 recognizes a character string included in the image data of the business card, generates data such as a company name and a name written on the business card from the character string data, and sets the name of the visiting employee who called the name card. In association with the number of visitors, the information is written in the management database 50 and the visitor issued card recording unit 21 to register the visitor (step S15). If this registration is completed normally, it is determined that the guest card should be issued (step S16). If the registration is not completed normally, it is determined that the guest card should not be issued, and the process ends.
In this way, the guest card is issued. Similarly, the employee card reads the information written in the registration name reader 12 and calls the administrator who issued the employee card from the reception system intercom 13. It is also possible to issue an employee card from the card issuing machine 11 by inputting an instruction to permit issuance after confirming the employee on the display screen of the office PC 90. As a result, the employee card itself can be issued, or the card can be issued urgently to an employee who has forgotten to bring the employee card.

The floor on which the visitor can move by an elevator, the conference room in which the visitor can enter, or the like may be restricted. When a meeting or the like becomes longer than planned, it can be extended when an employee inputs an instruction to extend the time that can be passed from the office PC 90 or the like and notifies the control device 20 of the instruction.

Furthermore, according to the above-described embodiment, a guest card is required for each entrance of the flapper gate, elevator call, conference room, etc. Even if a malicious third party enters the room, Since movement can be restricted and suspicious behavior (such as trapping in a corridor) can be grasped, security can be improved. It is also possible to secure the security of each floor by installing a card reader at the exit door to each floor of the emergency staircase.
Also, the entrance of the reception room and the conference room can be unlocked with a guest card, and by referring to the history of the unlocking, it is possible to grasp the rooms that are reserved for reception but are not actually used. Is possible.
Also, by making the guest card function a single function, the cost of the guest card itself can be reduced.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where the control device 20 permits the issuance of a guest card when receiving instruction data from the office PC 90 has been described. However, the company name, name, number of visitors, The date and time may be stored as reservation information in the management database 50, and the guest card may be issued if they match with the information input by the visitor at the reception system intercom 13 and match.
