Start.

  First, a configuration example of an image monitoring system to which the present invention is applied will be described. FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of an image monitoring system according to the first embodiment.

  The image monitoring system 10 according to the present embodiment includes an image monitoring apparatus 100 and an ATM 200, and the image monitoring apparatus 100 and the ATM 200 are connected via a network such as a LAN. The image monitoring apparatus 100 and the monitoring center 400 are connected via a network 500 such as a telephone line, a wireless network, or the Internet. The ATM 200 is connected to the host computer 300 via a network such as a dedicated line.

  The image monitoring apparatus 100 further includes a monitoring camera 110, a lens shielding unit 120, an image information acquisition unit 101, a monitoring camera control unit 102, a shielding control unit 103, an image information storage unit 104, and a transmission / reception unit 105. I have.

  The monitoring camera 110 images the monitoring area. Here, the monitoring area is an area including the operation display unit 210 of the ATM 200, and the user's operation on the ATM 200, the user's face and body shape, the user's operation, and the like are confirmed by an image obtained by imaging the monitoring area. be able to.

  The lens shielding unit 120 opens the lens portion of the monitoring camera 110 so that the lens portion of the monitoring camera 110 cannot be seen by the user or can be imaged by the monitoring camera 110. Thereby, when the monitoring camera 110 stops imaging, the lens shielding unit 120 clearly indicates that the lens portion of the monitoring camera 110 is shielded and an image is not captured for the user. The lens shielding unit 120 may be installed in the lens portion of the monitoring camera 110 and cover the entire monitoring camera 110 with a member.

  The image information acquisition unit 101 acquires image information captured by the monitoring camera 110. The surveillance camera control unit 102 controls the start or stop of the imaging of the surveillance camera 110 in accordance with the start signal or the end signal of the PIN number transmitted from the ATM 200. The shielding control unit 103 controls the opening or shielding of the lens shielding unit 120 in accordance with the start signal or the end signal of the PIN number transmitted from the ATM 200.

  The image information storage unit 104 stores the image information acquired by the image information acquisition unit 101. The transmission / reception unit 105 transmits the image information acquired by the image information acquisition unit 101 to the monitoring center 400. In the monitoring center 400, the image information transmitted from the image monitoring apparatus 100 is displayed on a monitor or the like.

  The ATM 200 includes an operation display unit 210, a card insertion unit 220, an operation display control unit 201, a card information acquisition unit 202, a password number input detection unit 203, and a transmission / reception unit 204.

  The operation display unit 210 receives an operation performed on the ATM 200 by the user and displays a message for the user. For example, the operation display unit 210 is a liquid crystal touch panel, a numeric keypad, or the like. The operation display control unit 201 receives an operation input by the operation display unit 210 and controls display of a message and a screen on the operation display unit 210.

  The personal identification number input detection unit 203 detects the start or end of input of the personal identification number from the operation display unit 210. A card such as a cash card is inserted into the card insertion unit 220 by the user. The card information acquisition unit 202 acquires card information from the card inserted into the card insertion unit 220.

  The transmission / reception unit 204 transmits a start signal to the image monitoring apparatus 100 when the password input detection unit 203 detects the start of password input. In addition, the transmission / reception unit 204 sends an end signal to the image monitoring apparatus 100 when the input of the password is detected by the password input detection unit 203 and an incorrect input signal when an incorrect input of the password is detected. Send.

  Further, the transmission / reception unit 204 transmits the card information read by the card information acquisition unit 202, the password received by the operation display control unit 201, and the like to the host computer 300. The host computer 300 collates the identification information and input information transmitted from the ATM 200 with the master file and performs various processes, and transmits the results to the ATM 200.

  Next, image monitoring processing by the image monitoring system 10 configured as described above will be described. First, a password input detection process by the ATM 200 will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a security code detection processing procedure performed by the operation display control unit, the security code input detection unit, the card information acquisition unit, and the transmission / reception unit.

  The operation display control unit 201 controls the transaction display screen to be displayed on the operation display unit 210 (step S201). FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a transaction selection screen displayed on the operation display unit. Here, the monitoring camera 110 of the image monitoring apparatus 100 images a monitoring area including a transaction selection screen as shown in FIG. The operation display control unit 201 receives transaction details (step S202). For example, the transaction content “drawer” selected from the operation display unit 210 is accepted.

  The card information acquisition unit 202 acquires card information from the card inserted into the card insertion unit 220 (step S203). The personal identification number input detection unit 203 determines whether or not the transaction content requires input of a personal identification number (step S204). For example, it may be stored in the storage unit whether or not a password is required for each transaction content, and it may be determined whether or not the selected transaction content requires a password. If it is determined that the transaction content requires the input of a password (step S204: Yes), the transmission / reception unit 204 transmits a password input start signal to the image monitoring apparatus 100 (step S205). When it is determined that the transaction content does not require the input of a personal identification number (step S204: No), the process proceeds to step S211.

  The operation display control unit 201 switches the operation screen of the operation display unit 210 to a personal identification number input screen (step S206). FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a password input screen displayed on the operation display unit. Note that the image of the monitoring area including the password input screen as shown in FIG. 4 is not captured because the monitoring camera 110 has stopped imaging, and the image information is stored in the image information storage unit as well. Also not sent to. The operation display control unit 201 accepts an input of a password entered from the operation screen of the operation display unit 210 (step S207). The operation display control unit 201 determines whether or not the input of the password is completed (step S208). If it is determined that the input of the personal identification number has been completed (step S208: Yes), it is determined whether or not the verification of the personal identification number has been successful (step S209). Specifically, the personal identification number is collated with respect to the host computer 300.

  If it is determined that the password verification is successful (step S209: Yes), the transmission / reception unit 204 transmits a password input end signal to the image monitoring apparatus 100 (step S210), and the operation display control unit 201 displays the operation screen. The screen is switched to a predetermined screen (step S211). If it is determined in step S209 that the password verification is not successful (step S209: No), the transmission / reception unit 204 transmits a password incorrect input signal to the image monitoring apparatus 100 (step S212). The process proceeds to S211.

  If it is determined in step S208 that the input of the password has not been completed (step S208: No), the operation display control unit 201 determines whether or not there is a cancel input (step S213). If it is determined that there is a cancel input (step S213: Yes), the transmission / reception unit 204 transmits a password input end signal to the image monitoring apparatus 100 (step S214), and the process proceeds to step S211. If it is determined that there is no cancel input (step S213: No), the process returns to step S208.

  Next, image capturing control processing by the image monitoring apparatus 100 will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an image capturing control processing procedure performed by the image information acquisition unit, the monitoring camera control unit, the shielding control unit, and the transmission / reception unit.

  First, the image information acquisition unit 101 acquires image information captured by the monitoring camera 110 (step S501). The image information acquisition unit 101 stores the acquired image information in the image information storage unit 104 (step S502). At this time, in addition to or instead of storing the image information in the image information storage unit 104, the image information acquired by the transmission / reception unit 105 may be transmitted to the monitoring center 400. The surveillance camera control unit 102 determines whether or not a password input start signal has been received from the ATM 200 (step S503). If it is determined that the password input start signal has not been received from the ATM 200 (step S503: No), the process returns to step S501 to acquire the next image information.

  When it is determined that the password input start signal is received from the ATM 200 (step S503: Yes), the shielding control unit 103 transmits a shielding signal to the lens shielding unit 120 (step S504). As described above, when the input of the personal identification number is started, the user can visually confirm that the personal identification number is not captured by shielding the lens unit of the monitoring camera 110.

  Next, the monitoring camera control unit 102 transmits an imaging stop signal to the monitoring camera 110 (step S505). As a result, since the surveillance camera 110 stops capturing the surveillance area, the password input operation is not captured as image information in the image surveillance apparatus 100 and is intercepted when the image information is transmitted. However, it is possible to prevent leakage of confidential information.

  The monitoring camera control unit 102 determines whether or not a password input end signal or a password incorrect input signal is received from the ATM 200 (step S506). If it is determined that the PIN code input end signal or the PIN code incorrect input signal has not been received from the ATM 200 (step S506: No), the process returns to step S506 and the determination is repeated. When it is determined that the PIN code input end signal or the PIN code incorrect input signal has been received from the ATM 200 (step S506: Yes), the shielding control unit 103 transmits an opening signal to the lens shielding unit 120 (step S507). The monitoring camera control unit 102 transmits an imaging start signal to the monitoring camera 110 (step S508), and returns to step S501. As described above, when the input of the personal identification number at the ATM 200 is completed, since the imaging of the monitoring area is resumed, the user's operation and behavior can be monitored, and crime prevention can be improved. Also, if the PIN is entered incorrectly at the ATM 200, imaging of the monitoring area is started, and an operator who may be using the card illegally can be imaged, which may impair crime prevention. Absent.

  In this way, by stopping the imaging of the surveillance camera only when the password is input, leakage of confidential information can be prevented and crime prevention can be improved. Further, by shielding the lens part of the surveillance camera or the entire camera, the surveillance camera is not seen by the user, so that it is clearly shown to the user that the personal identification number is not imaged, and the user's sense of security is improved.

(Second Embodiment)
A second embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The image monitoring apparatus according to the second embodiment stops the imaging of the surveillance camera when the input of the password is started at the operation unit set at the entrance / exit of the security area, and the input of the password is completed In the case, the imaging of the surveillance camera is started.

  With respect to the configuration example of the image monitoring apparatus to which the present invention is applied, a different part from the first embodiment will be described.

  Here, the configuration and functions of the monitoring camera 110, the lens shielding unit 120, the image information acquisition unit 101, the monitoring camera control unit 102, the shielding control unit 103, the image information storage unit 104, and the transmission / reception unit 105 are as follows. Since it is the same as that of 1st Embodiment, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The operation display unit 630 is installed near the entrance / exit door unit 640 of the security area, and a password is entered by the user to enter the security area and a message is output. The door door 640 is locked and unlocked by the door opening / closing control unit 607 controlled to restrict entry into the security area.

  The operation display control unit 606 detects the start of input of the personal identification number from the operation display unit 630 and the completion of the input. Further, the operation display control unit 606 accepts a password entered from the operation display unit 630 and controls output of a message to the operation display unit 630.

  The door opening / closing control unit 607 controls the locking and unlocking of the entrance door unit 640 in response to the start or completion of input of the password detected by the operation display control unit 606. The collation unit 608 collates the password received by the operation display control unit 606 with the collation information stored in the collation information database 650.

  The verification information database 650 stores verification information for integrating the passwords input from the operation display unit 630. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the data configuration of the collation information database. The verification information database 650 stores verification information that allows admission to the security area, such as a password.

  Next, image monitoring control processing by the image monitoring system 20 configured as described above will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an image monitoring control processing procedure performed by the image information acquisition unit, the monitoring camera control unit, the shielding control unit, the transmission / reception unit, the operation display control unit, the door opening / closing control unit, and the verification unit.

  First, the image information acquisition unit 101 acquires image information captured by the monitoring camera 110 (step S801). The image information acquisition unit 101 stores the acquired image information in the image information storage unit 104 (step S802). At this time, in addition to or instead of storing the image information in the image information storage unit 104, the image information acquired by the transmission / reception unit 105 may be transmitted to the monitoring center 400. The operation display control unit 606 determines whether or not the input of the password is started (step S803). If it is determined that the input of the personal identification number has not been started (step S803: No), the process returns to step S801 to acquire the next image information.

  If it is determined that the input of the password has been started (step S803: Yes), the shielding control unit 103 transmits a shielding signal to the lens shielding unit 120 (step S804). As described above, when the input of the personal identification number is started, the user can visually confirm that the personal identification number is not captured by shielding the lens unit of the monitoring camera 110.

  Next, the monitoring camera control unit 102 transmits an imaging stop signal to the monitoring camera 110 (step S805). As a result, since the surveillance camera 110 stops imaging the surveillance area, the password input operation is not taken into the image surveillance apparatus 600 as image information, and the image information is stolen or intercepted. However, since there is no image information obtained by imaging the personal identification number, it is possible to prevent leakage of confidential information.

  The operation display control unit 606 determines whether or not the input of the password has been completed (step S806). If it is determined that the input of the password has not been completed (step S806: No), the process returns to step S806. If it is determined that the input of the personal identification number has been completed (step S806: Yes), the verification unit 608 determines whether the verification of the personal identification number has been successful (step S807). When it is determined that the password verification is successful (step S807: Yes), the door opening / closing control unit 607 controls to unlock the entrance door unit 640 (step S808). When it is determined that the password verification is not successful (step S807: No), the operation display control unit 606 displays an error indicating that the password verification is not successful on the operation display unit 630 (step S809). ).

  The shielding control unit 103 transmits an open signal to the lens shielding unit 120 (step S810). The monitoring camera control unit 102 transmits an imaging start signal to the monitoring camera 110 (step S811).

  In this way, leakage of confidential information can be prevented by stopping the imaging of the surveillance camera only when the password is entered on the operation display unit near the entrance door of the security area, and at other times, monitoring is performed. Since the area is imaged, crime prevention can be improved. Further, by shielding the lens part of the surveillance camera or the entire camera, the surveillance camera is not seen by the user, so that it is clearly shown to the user that the personal identification number is not imaged, and the user's sense of security is improved.
