JP-A-6-36122

  In the above-described conventional technology, the stand-by (employee) is given the operating authority (opening / closing authority) to the operating device (door), while the visitor (visitor) greatly restricts the degree of freedom in operating the operating device. As a result, security is maintained.

  However, as described above, a visitor who has once entered with the assistance of a standby person is not an illegal intruder but a reliable person (visited by the invitation of the standby person). Therefore, it is convenient and reasonable for both the stand-by and the visitor to relax the restriction of the operation authority at least after joining (meeting) the stand-by. In the above prior art, such a point is not particularly considered. For this reason, a visitor who was able to enter with the assistance of the standby person as described above could not pass through the door (exit or re-entry) without the attendance or assistance of the standby person, or Even after entering, there was inconvenience that the entrance management area in the building could not be entered and exited alone.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an operating device authority management system capable of improving the degree of freedom of operation for an operating device by a visitor and improving convenience for both a visitor and a standby user.

  In order to achieve the above object, the first invention includes a first storage unit that is associated with a standby person and stores information and first antenna means that transmits and receives information, and is movable in a predetermined movable region. A first mobile station, a second storage unit that stores information and a second antenna unit that transmits and receives information, and is associated with a visitor invited to the standby person, and is movable in a predetermined movable region A second mobile station, and a base station fixedly arranged at a known position, including third antenna means for transmitting and receiving information to and from the first mobile station and the second mobile station by wireless communication An operating device authority management system for managing operating authority of the standby user and the visitor related to an operating device, the first antenna unit and the second antenna unit of the first mobile station and the second mobile station Transmitted from the base station Position detecting means for detecting the positions of the first mobile station and the second mobile station based on radio signals received by three antenna means; and the stand-by person and the visitor based on the detection result of the position detecting means. If the meeting detection means detects the meeting state between the standby person and the visitor, the second authority information having a predetermined content is stored in the second movement. And authority granting means associated with the station.

  In the first invention of the present application, the first mobile station is associated with the standby (preferably, for example, possessed), and the visitor is associated with the second mobile station (for example, possessed). Based on the radio signals from the first and second mobile stations, the position detection means detects the positions of the first and second mobile stations. Since the positions of the first and second mobile stations correspond to the positions of the standby person and the visitor, respectively, based on the position detection result of the position detection means, the meeting detection means makes contact with the standby person and the visitor. The state of meeting with the person can be detected.

  When the meeting state is detected, the authority granting unit associates second authority information having a predetermined content with the second mobile station. As a result, when the stand-by and the visitor have a meeting, it is possible to grant a predetermined authority corresponding to the visit result, and the visitor can have an operation authority for a predetermined operating device. Therefore, the degree of freedom of operation for the operating device of the visitor is improved, and it is possible to operate the predetermined operating device alone (without accompanying or assistance of a standby person). As a result, it is possible to improve convenience for both visitors and standby users.

The control unit 34 generates a spreading code transmitted by the mobile station T by radio waves by reading a spreading code stored from a storage unit (not shown) or based on a predetermined generation method, for example, a predetermined primitive polynomial. To decide.

  Note that the mobile station T used in this example is an active tag that is driven by a power supply (not shown in particular) provided therein. As a result, the mobile station T can transmit radio waves by itself and can communicate with a base station at a distance.

  The mobile terminal 100 also includes the antenna 102 for performing wireless communication with the network NW via the terminal base station BA, and voice signals and various data signals (including mails) for calls via the antenna 102. A data transmission / reception unit 103 that performs transmission / reception, and a control unit 106 that controls each component of the mobile terminal 100 including the data transmission / reception unit 103, the operation unit 110, and the display unit 109 are provided.

  As described above, the most significant feature of the present embodiment is that the detection position of the mobile station T1 related to the employee P1 (hereinafter referred to as “employee mobile station T1” as appropriate) and the mobile station T2 related to the visitor P2 (hereinafter referred to as “customer as appropriate”). In accordance with the detected position of the mobile station T2), it is determined that the employee P1 and the visitor P2 are in a meeting state, and the operating devices D1, D2, A predetermined operation authority for the CP (in this example, an operation authority equivalent to that of the employee P1) is given. Hereinafter, the details will be sequentially described.

(B) Principle of mobile station position detection FIG. 5 shows a method of detecting the position of the mobile station T (employee mobile station T1 and visitor mobile station T2) in the authority management system 1 of the operating device of this embodiment. It is a figure explaining a principle. FIG. 5 shows an example in which the position of one mobile station T is detected by three base stations R1 to R3 in order to avoid the complexity of the illustration.

  In FIG. 5, the mobile station T possessed by the person P can move to a free coordinate position within the floor where the plane coordinate system is set as described above, whereas the three base stations R1 to R3 are within the same floor. Are fixedly arranged at known installation positions. Each base station R1 to R3 is connected to one management server S through a communication network NW so as to be able to send and receive information.

  In this configuration, the management server S measures and detects the distances from the base stations R1 to R3 to the mobile station T based on the reception time difference of the radio signal from the mobile station T at the base stations R1 to R3. That is, at least one of the base stations R1 to R3 transmits a predetermined transmission request signal to the mobile station T, and the mobile station T correspondingly transmits a radio signal (distance detection radio signal) to each of the base stations R1 to R1. Transmit to R3. At this time, the time (arrival time) from when the mobile station T transmits the radio signal for distance detection until it is received at the base station R is proportional to the spatial distance between the base station R and the mobile station T. . When the distance from each base station R to the mobile station T is different, the arrival time is different for each base station R and a time difference occurs. The management server S can calculate the position of the mobile station T based on the time difference.

  The coordinates of the base stations R1, R2, and R3 are (x1, y1), (x2, y2), and (x3, y3), respectively. In each of the first base station R1, the second base station R2, and the third base station R3, the reception times when the distance detection radio signals transmitted from the mobile station T at the time T0 are received are T1, T2, and T3. To do.

Under the above conditions, in FIG.
c × (T1−T0) = √ {(x−x1) ² + (y−y1) ² } (1A)
c × (T2−T0) = √ {(x−x2) ² + (y−y2) ² } (1B)
c × (T3−T0) = √ {(x−x3) ² + (y−y3) ² } (1C)
Holds.

Then, by subtracting equation (1B) from equation (1A),
√ {(x−x1) ² + (y−y1) ² } −√ {(x−x2) ² + (y−y2) ² } = c × (T1−T2) (1D)
Moreover, by subtracting the formula (1C) from the formula (1A),
√ {(x−x1) ² + (y−y1) ² } −√ {(x−x3) ² + (y−y3) ² } = c × (T1−T3) (1E)
The relationship expressed by In addition, c is a radio wave speed (light speed: about 3.0 × 10 ⁸ [m / s]).

  At this time (the reception times T1, T2, and T3 are known as measured values), there are only two variables x and y. Therefore, the above two equations (1D) and (1E) are expressed by, for example, the Newton-Raphson method. By solving, the x and y coordinates (x, y) of the position of the mobile station T can be specified. In addition, by providing four base stations R1 to R4 as in the present embodiment, more accurate position detection can be performed.

  In the above example, each base station R1 to R3 only detects the reception time of the radio signal and transmits it to the management server S, and positioning processing (calculation of the distance from the base stations R1 to R3 to the mobile station T). Is performed by the management server S, but is not limited thereto. That is, one control unit 20 among the base stations R1 to R3 may collect other reception time information and perform positioning.

(C) Entry / exit in the controlled area For example, only certain persons (general employees or specific employees) who have been given authority in advance from the viewpoint of ensuring security in specific rooms in the company can enter the room. In general, it is often performed that a person (a visitor, a trader, etc.) cannot enter the room alone.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when an employee P1 is going to enter the laboratory Z1 with the visitor P2 (the above-mentioned entrance management is performed), the employee P1 who has been given the authority to enter the laboratory Z1 By performing a predetermined operation (for example, reading an ID card), the lock mechanism LM1 of the door D1 is unlocked. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 7, the employee P1 and the visitor P2 can enter the laboratory Z1 together with the door D1 opened.

  Thereafter, the visitor P2 may leave the laboratory Z1 alone. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, this is a case where the visitor P2 goes to the toilet Z3 alone while the employee P1 is present in the laboratory Z1. In this example, since the toilet Z3 is not an entrance management area unlike the laboratory Z1, the visitor P2 can enter the toilet Z3 alone.

  However, even if the visitor P2 returning from the toilet Z3 tries to enter the laboratory Z1 from the corridor again, as shown in FIG. 9, the laboratory Z1 is an entrance management area, and cannot enter the room alone. For this reason, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, there is only a means for knocking the door D1 to notify the employee P1 remaining in the laboratory Z1 and opening the door D1 from the laboratory Z1. In order to avoid this, it is necessary to wait for the employee P1 who has the authority to operate the door D1 to accompany the customer P2 to the toilet Z3 or to return from the toilet Z3 near the door D1. In any case, it is very inconvenient for both the employee P1 and the visitor P2.

  Further, after the employee P1 and the visitor P2 enter the laboratory Z1 as described above, the employee P1 may leave the laboratory Z1 first, and the visitor P2 may remain alone in the laboratory Z1. Also in this case, as described above, the visitor P2 can go to the toilet Z3 alone, but no one is in the laboratory Z1, so the visitor P2 cannot return to the laboratory Z1, and is similarly inconvenient. It is.

(D) Authorizing visitors based on visit detection (D-1) Map information database

  Next, the details of the map information will be described. As conceptually shown in FIG. 11, the map information is a coordinate area occupied by each room (laboratory Z1, living room Z2, toilet Z3, meeting space M) in the plane coordinate system, and installation of the base stations R1 to R4. It includes a position, an arrangement position of each operation device (door D1, door D2, copy machine CP), and the like, and includes a room database and an operation device database described below.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a room database that includes the relationship between the name, ID, and x-coordinate y-coordinate range of each room stored in the large-capacity storage device 25 of the management server S. In FIG. 12, the coordinate range of the meeting space M is the range where the x coordinate is Xca <x <Xcc and the y coordinate is Ycb <y <Ycc, and the coordinate range of the laboratory Z1 is that the x coordinate is 0 <x <Xca and y The coordinate range is Ycb <y <Ycc, the coordinate range of the living room Z2 is the range of x coordinate Xca <x <Xcb and the y coordinate is 0 <y <Yca, and the coordinate range of the toilet Z3 is x coordinate 0 <X <Xca and y coordinate is in the range of 0 <y <Yca. Therefore, by comparing the detected coordinates of the mobile station T with the above-described coordinate range data of each room, it is possible to determine where the mobile station T is in the laboratory Z1, the room Z2, the toilet Z3, or the meeting space M. It is like that. This room database is used, for example, to determine whether the visitors (employee P1 and visitor P2) are in the meeting space M when performing visit detection.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an operation device database including position information of operation devices D1, D2, and CP stored in the mass storage device 25 of the management server S. As shown in FIG. 13, the position coordinates where the laboratory door D1 is arranged are (X1, Y1), the position coordinates where the room door D2 is arranged are (X2, Y2), and the copying machine CP is The arranged position coordinates are (Xp, Cp).

  This operating device database grants predetermined operating authority to the operating devices D1, D2, and CP by an interview with the employee P1 who has predetermined operating authority for the operating devices D1, D2 and CP, or the employee P1. It is used to determine whether or not the received customer P2 has approached the operating devices D1, D2 and CP having the operation authority (i.e., is about to operate). That is, according to the position detection result of the mobile stations T1, T2, the employee P1 (or the visitor P2) who has operating authority for each operating device D1, D2, CP approaches the operating device D1, D2, CP. If the management server S determines that the operation device D1, D2, CP is unlocked via the device control unit CC, the lock is made available (see the flow of FIG. 18 described later).

(D-2) Employee Authority Information Database As described above, the employee P1 (all employees or a specific employee) is given operating authority regarding the operating devices D1, D2, and CP. FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an employee authority database including authority information of the employee P1 stored in the mass storage device 25 of the management server S. In this example, this database includes the name of the employee P1, the identification information (tag ID) of the employee mobile station T1 corresponding to the employee P1, and the presence / absence of operation authority for the operation devices D1, D2, CP, etc. Are provided as storage items.

  And in this embodiment, the operation authority equivalent to the said employee P1 is provided with respect to the visitor P2 in which the meeting with each said employee P1 was detected. Accordingly, the employee authority database further includes the email address of each employee P1 (in this case, each email address) as the destination of the above-described notification email that notifies the visitor P2 that the operation authority equivalent to that of the employee P1 is granted. The email address of the portable terminal 100 of the employee P1) is also stored.

(D-3) Meeting Detection A method for detecting the meeting between the employee P1 and the visitor P2 executed in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 (a) and 15 (b). Since the visit is performed in the presence of some kind of business, business, meeting, business negotiation, etc., usually both of the interviewees are seated at a close distance and the seated state continues to some extent. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the condition for detecting the visit is when the distance of the visitor P2 from the employee P1 is within a predetermined distance (5 m in this example) and the state continues for a predetermined time (10 minutes in this example). It is determined that both have met. In particular, in this example, it is assumed that the meeting place is almost limited to the meeting space M in the floor. Therefore, the management server S, based on the position detection results of the mobile stations T1 and T2 described above, has both the mobile stations T1 and T2 located in the meeting space M as shown in FIG. As shown in b), when the distance of 5 m or less continues for 10 minutes, it is recognized that the employee P1 and the visitor P2 have met. As described above, the same authority as the operation authority (refer to FIG. 14) for the operating devices D1, D2, and CP granted to the employee P1 at this time is also given to the visitor P2 who visited the employee P1. To do.

(D-4) Customer Authority Information Database FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a visitor authority database including authority information of the visitor P2 stored in the mass storage device 25 of the management server S.

  In FIG. 16, in this database, as the storage items, the identification information (tag ID) of the visitor mobile station T2 corresponding to the visitor P2, the name of the employee P1 (the other party) as in FIG. The identification information (tag ID) of the mobile station T1, the presence / absence of operation authority for the operating devices D1, D2, CP, and the employee mail address are provided as storage items. In the present embodiment, since the operation authority given to the visitor P2 after the visit as described above is automatically deleted after the visit state is canceled (details will be described later), the operation authority grant state for the visitor P2 is given. That is, whether it is being granted or has been deleted. In addition, it is also stored whether or not the aforementioned notification mail has been transmitted at the time of authority grant (or authority deletion described later).

  The example shown in FIG. 16 corresponds to the employee authority database shown in FIG. 14 described above, and corresponds to each visitor P2 when there is a visitor P2 who visits each employee P1 in FIG. The case where the authority equivalent to the employee P1 is given is shown. That is, for example, the visitor P2 with the tag ID “BB0001” meets the employee P1 with the name “Ichiro Hotta” with the tag ID “AA0001” shown in FIG. 14, and as a result, the same operation authority is given. Therefore, this visitor P2 can open and close the door D1 of the laboratory Z1, open and close the door D2 of the living room Z2, and use the copy machine CP. Even if the visitor P2 who has obtained such authority goes to the toilet Z3 while leaving the laboratory P1 as described above with reference to FIG. 8, the door of the laboratory Z1 as described above. Since he has the authority to open and close D1, as shown in FIG. 17, he can reenter the laboratory Z1 alone.

  Specifically, it is as follows. That is, the position detection result (including the tag ID of the mobile station T2) of the mobile station T2 using the base stations R1 to R4 described above is input from the management server S to the device control unit CC at predetermined intervals. And the apparatus control part CC recognizes that the visitor P2 approached the door D1 of the laboratory Z1 by referring the above-mentioned operating apparatus database of the management server S. At this time, the device control unit CC also recognizes that the visitor P2 has the operation authority for the door D1 by referring to the aforementioned visitor authority database of the management server S. As a result, the device control unit CC outputs a control signal to the lock mechanism LM1 and releases the lock of the door D1, thereby enabling the visitor P2 to open the door D1 and enter the laboratory Z1.

  FIG. 18A is a flow showing a control procedure related to the unlocking performed on the door D1 by the first door opening / closing control unit CC1 of the device control unit CC via the lock mechanism LM1.

  18A, first, in step S200, based on the position detection result of the mobile station T (employee mobile station T1 and visitor mobile station T2) detected by the management server S, the above-described operating device database of the management server S is used. , Whether either the employee P1 or the visitor P2 is present near the door D1 of the laboratory Z1 (for example, a predetermined range such as a radius of 1 m on the hallway side from the position coordinate of the door D1). Determine if. The determination is not satisfied until either the employee P1 or the visitor P2 is within the predetermined range, and the loop waits. When the employee P1 or the visitor P2 is within the predetermined range, the determination in step S200 is satisfied, and the process proceeds to step S205. .

  In step S205, for the employee P1 (or visitor P2) detected to be nearby in step S200, the management server uses the tag ID (see step SS20 in FIG. 19 described later) acquired together with the position detection as a key. S's employee authority database (or visitor authority database) is accessed to determine whether or not there is an operating authority for the door D1 of the laboratory Z1. If there is no operation authority, the determination is not satisfied and the process returns to step S200 and the same procedure is repeated. If there is an operation authority, the determination is satisfied, and the routine goes to Step S210.

  In step S210, a control signal is output to the lock mechanism LM1 to unlock the door D1 of the laboratory D1 (which is in a locked state that cannot be opened and closed).

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S215, and it is determined whether the door D1 has been opened or closed after the door D1 is unlocked in step S210. In this determination, for example, a timer may be used to count whether or not the elapsed time after unlocking in step S210 exceeds a predetermined threshold value (the door D1 is normally always closed). It is also possible to detect the opening / closing by a door D1 opening / closing detection sensor provided separately. Alternatively, the position detection result at this point is acquired from the management server S once again as in step S200, and it is determined whether the mobile station T has actually entered the laboratory Z1 by referring to the above-described room database. (Door D1 is normally always closed). The determination is not satisfied until the opening / closing of the door D1 is detected as described above, and the same procedure is repeated by returning to step S210. When the opening / closing of the door D1 is detected, the determination of step S215 is satisfied, and the process proceeds to step S220. .

  In step S220, a control signal is output to the lock mechanism LM1, the door D1 of the laboratory D1 in the unlocked state is returned to the locked state where it cannot be opened and closed, and this flow is finished.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the above, and the CPU 21 of the management server S recognizes that the visitor P2 has approached the door D1 and that the visitor P2 has the authority to operate the door D1, and the device is based on the recognition result. A control signal for instructing the unlocking to the control unit CC may be output, whereby the device control unit CC may output a control signal for unlocking to the locking mechanism LM1 (to a door D2 or a copier CP described later). The same applies to the same).

  The control procedure that the second door opening / closing control unit CC2 performs on the door D2 via the lock mechanism LM2 is also the same as that shown in FIG.

  FIG. 18B is a flow showing a control procedure related to the unlocking performed on the copier CP by the copier control unit CC3 of the device control unit CC.

  In FIG. 18B, this flow is basically the same as the flow shown in FIG. 18A except that the control target is changed from the door D1 to the copy machine CP.

  That is, first, in step S250, based on the position detection result of the mobile station T (employee mobile station T1 and visitor mobile station T2) detected by the management server S, the above-mentioned operating device database of the management server S is referred to, It is determined whether either P1 or the visitor P2 is present near the copy machine CP (for example, a radius of 1 m is set in advance from a position coordinate of the copy machine CP, for example, within a predetermined range). The determination is not satisfied until either the employee P1 or the visitor P2 falls within the predetermined range, and the loop waits. When the employee P1 or the visitor P2 falls within the predetermined range, the determination in step S250 is satisfied, and the process proceeds to step S255. .

  In step S255, for the employee P1 (or visitor P2) detected to be nearby in step S250, the management server uses the tag ID (see step SS20 in FIG. 19 described later) acquired together with the position detection as a key. S's employee authority database (or visitor authority database) is accessed to determine whether or not there is an operation authority for the door D1 of the copier CP. If there is no operation authority, the determination is not satisfied and the process returns to step S250 and the same procedure is repeated. If there is an operation authority, the determination is satisfied, and the routine goes to Step S260.

  In step S260, a control signal is output to the copier CP, and the copier CP is unlocked (always in a locked state where the copy operation is impossible).

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S265, and after the copying machine CP is unlocked in step S260, it is determined whether or not the copying operation of the copying machine CP has been performed. For this determination, as in step S215, for example, it is only necessary to count with a timer (may be provided in the copier CP) whether or not the elapsed time after unlocking in step S260 exceeds a predetermined threshold. . Alternatively, for example, an operation end signal corresponding to an appropriate button operation by the operator may be output from the copier CP to the device control unit CC, and the presence / absence of the input of this operation end signal may be detected. Alternatively, the position detection result at this time is acquired from the management server S once again in the same manner as in step S200, and the mobile station T moves away from the position of the copier CP by referring to the device database described above (outside the predetermined range described above). It is also possible to determine whether or not The determination is not satisfied until the end of the copy operation of the copier CP is detected as described above, and the procedure returns to step S260 and the same procedure is repeated. When the end of the copy operation is detected, the determination of step S265 is satisfied, and step The process moves to S270.

  In step S270, a control signal is output to the copier CP to return from the unlocked state to the inoperable locked state again, and this flow ends.

(E) Control Sequence FIG. 19 is transmitted and received among the management server S, the base stations R1 to R4, the mobile station T (the employee mobile station T1 and the visitor mobile station T2), and the mobile terminal 100 in the present embodiment. It is a sequence diagram showing an example of transmission and reception of various signals and a control operation. In FIG. 19, each procedure is basically represented by a time series change from the upper side to the lower side in the figure. As described above, signals are sent and received between the management server S and the base stations R1 to R4 via the communication network NW. In addition, signals are transmitted and received between the base stations R1 to R4 and the mobile station T and between the management server S and the mobile terminal 100 via wireless communication.

  First, in step SS5, the CPU 21 of the management server S initializes a flag F indicating whether or not the authority is given to the visitor P2 to 0.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step SS10, and the CPU 21 of the management server S outputs an instruction signal instructing transmission / reception to / from the mobile station T to one specific base station R via the network communication control unit 26. The specific one base station R checks whether or not the instruction signal is input in step SR5, and if the instruction signal is detected, the radio of the specific one base station R is detected in step SR10. The unit 16 transmits a radio wave transmission request signal to the mobile station T via the antenna 12.

  The radio unit 33 of the mobile station T that has received the transmission request signal transmits a corresponding radio signal for distance detection via the tag antenna 32 in step ST10. In the present embodiment, the radio signal for distance detection including the tag ID of the mobile station T (employee mobile station tag and visitor mobile station T2) is transmitted from the radio unit 33 of each mobile station T. The radio unit 16 of each of the base stations R1 to R4 receives a radio signal for distance detection via the antenna 12 in step SR20. Then, the arrival time detection unit 19 detects the reception time information at that time, and the control unit 20 sends the reception time information (together with the tag ID of the mobile station T) to the management server S via the network communication control unit 18. Output.

  Then, in step SS20, the CPU 21 of the management server S has described the position coordinates of the mobile station T based on the difference in reception time (= difference in arrival time) input from the base stations R1 to R4 with reference to FIG. It is calculated by a technique (= position detecting means).

  The transmission of the transmission request from the management server S to the base station R in step ST10 is always performed at a predetermined time interval as described above. As a result, the position detection of the mobile station T (the employee mobile station T1 and the visitor mobile station T2) is always performed in real time. Further, the present invention is not limited to the transmission of the distance detection radio signal from the mobile station T in response to the transmission request from the base stations R1 to R4 (or the specific base station R). That is, the mobile station T continues to transmit radio signals spontaneously at regular time intervals, and each base station R receives the radio signals continuously transmitted, and based on this, the management server S performs distance detection. Good. Also in this case, the position detection of the mobile station T is always performed in real time.

  Next, in step SS40, the CPU 21 of the management server S determines whether or not the flag F = 0. When the operation authority is not yet given to the visitor F2, the determination is satisfied because the flag F = 0 remains in step SS05, and the process proceeds to step SS50.

  In step SS50, the CPU 21 of the management server S uses the position coordinates of the employee mobile station T1 and the visitor mobile station T2 calculated in step SS20 and the room database previously stored in the large-capacity storage device 25. Thus, it is determined whether or not the visitor P2 is present in a substantially stationary state within a distance of 5 m from the employee P1 in the meeting space M (distance determination means, area determination means, and restraint determination means). The determination of the substantially stationary state is made by calculating the moving speed based on the history of the position detection result and determining whether the speed is less than or equal to a very small threshold (for example, 0.5 m / s). It ’s enough. If the distance from the employee P1 to the customer P2 exceeds 5 m, is not substantially stationary, or is outside the meeting space, the determination in step SS50 is not satisfied, and the process returns to step SS10 and the same procedure is repeated. If both the employee P1 and the visitor P2 are present in the meeting space M and the distance from the employee P1 to the visitor P2 is substantially stationary within 5 m (for example, assuming that the person is in a seated conversation state) The determination is satisfied, and the routine goes to Step SS60.

  At step SS60, the CPU 21 of the management server S has passed 10 minutes in a state where the determination at step SS50 is satisfied (the employee P1 and the visitor P2 are in the meeting space M, and the distance from the employee P1 to the visitor P2 is within 5 m). (Stationary time determination means). The state in which the determination in step SS50 is satisfied is maintained, and the determination in step SS60 is not satisfied until 10 minutes have elapsed, and the process returns to step SS10 and the same procedure is repeated. If the determination in step SS50 is satisfied (employee P1 and visitor P2 are in meeting space M, and distance from employee P1 to visitor P2 is within 5 meters) and 10 minutes have passed, the determination in step SS60 is satisfied. The employee P1 and the visitor P2 are considered to be in a meeting state, and the process proceeds to step SS70. In addition, said step SS50 and step SS60 comprise the meeting detection means as described in each claim.

  In step SS70, the CPU 21 of the management server S accesses the employee authority database of the large-capacity storage device 25 using the tag ID of the employee mobile station T1 acquired in step SR20 as a key, and stores the corresponding operating devices D1, D2, CP. The operation authority information (first operation authority information) of the employee P1 is acquired (first information acquisition means).

  Then, the process proceeds to step SS80, and the CPU 21 of the management server S operates based on the operation authority information of the employee P1 acquired in step SS70, and the operation authority information (second operation authority) of the visitor P2 for the corresponding operating devices D1, D2, CP. Information) is generated (= authorization is given), and the operation authority information is written and updated in the visitor authority database of the mass storage device 25 (authorization means). As a result, the customer P2 (in other words, the mobile station T2) is associated with the second authority information.

  In this example, as described above, the operation authority equivalent to the operation authority for the operation devices D1, D2, and CP of the employee P1 is given, but the present invention is not limited to this. Only a part of the operation authority of the employee P1 may be granted. As an example, for example, when the employee P1 has the operating authority of the door D1 of the laboratory Z1 and the door D2 of the living room Z2, the operating authority of the door D1 of the laboratory Z1 is given to the visitor P2. It is conceivable that the operation authority for the door D2 of Z2 is not granted. In addition, based on the record of meeting with the employee P1, there may be a case where the operation authority having contents not necessarily directly related to the contents of the operation authority of the employee P1 is given. As an example, for example, when the employee P1 is authorized to operate the copy machine CP by recognizing that he / she has met the employee P1 regardless of whether or not the employee P1 has the authority to operate the copy machine CP. Can be considered.

  Also, in the above, the operating mobile device D1, D2, CP is not granted any operating authority to the visitor mobile station T2 at the beginning (before the visit detection), and a new operation device is obtained through the visit with the employee P1. Although the case where the operation authority of the predetermined range with respect to D1, D2, CP was given was demonstrated as an example, it is not restricted to this. That is, a predetermined operation authority is given in advance to a part of the operating devices D1, D2, and CP before the meeting detection, and the authority range may be expanded by the meeting detection. In this case, when entering the building before reaching the floor (at the time of reception), for example, the CPU 21 of the management server S creates the visitor authority database in the large-capacity storage device 25 and the part of the operating devices D1. , D2, CP operation authority information (initial authority information) is written. After the meeting is detected, the CPU 21 of the management server S accesses the visitor authority database to acquire the initial authority information (second information acquisition means), and the acquired initial authority information as described above (of the employee P1) After expanding the authority range (corresponding to the operation authority information) (authority changing means), it is sufficient to update the database with the contents. As described above, when the initial authority information is first given, the necessary minimum operation authority (operation of the copy machine CP in the above example) can be given to the visitor P2 even before the visit, and convenience is improved. .

  When step SS80 is completed as described above, the process proceeds to step SS90, and the flag F is set to 1 indicating that authority is given to the visitor P2. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step SS100.

  In step SS100, the CPU 21 of the management server S creates mail information (authorization grant notification signal) corresponding to the notification email based on the granting of authority to the customer P2, and outputs it via the network communication control unit 26 and the network NW. Thus, the notification mail is transmitted from the terminal base station BA to the portable terminal 100. Thereby, in step SM10, the portable terminal 100 receives the notification mail transmitted by the data transmission / reception unit 103 via the antenna 102, and the control unit 106 causes the display unit 109 to display the content of the mail (see FIG. 3 described above). reference). In addition, after step SS100 is complete | finished, the management server S returns to step SS10 and repeats the same procedure.

  Note that the above notification mail indicating that the authority has been given to the visitor P2 is not only sent to the employee P1 (or instead of the employee P1), but to the guard of the company building or floor (the administrator of the management server S may also serve). You may make it transmit. In this case, instead of notification by mail transmission to the mobile terminal 100, for example, a mail may be transmitted to a terminal such as a personal computer used by a security guard, or a notification mode other than mail to the personal computer may be employed. Further, it may be transmitted from the nearest base station R to the mobile station T1 possessed by the employee P1, and a display corresponding to display means provided separately in the mobile station T1 may be performed.

  After giving the operation authority to the visitor P2 in step SS80 as described above, when returning to step SS10 and repeating the same procedure (since F = 1 in step SS90), the determination in step SS40 Is not satisfied, and the routine goes to Step SS110.

  In Step SS110, as in Step SS50, the CPU 21 of the management server S stores the position coordinates of the employee mobile station T1 and the visitor mobile station T2 calculated in Step SS20 and the large capacity storage device 25 in advance. Using the above-described room database, it is determined whether the employee P1 and the visitor P2 are in the meeting space M and the employee P1 and the visitor P2 exist within a distance of 5 m. If both the employee P1 and the visitor P2 exist in the meeting space M and the distance from the employee P1 to the visitor P2 is within 5 m, the determination in step SS110 is satisfied, and the process returns to step SS10 and the same procedure is repeated. If the distance from the employee P1 to the visitor P2 exceeds 5 m or is outside the meeting space, the determination in step SS110 is not satisfied and the process proceeds to step SS120.

  In step SS120, as in step SS60, the CPU 21 of the management server S does not satisfy the determination in step SS110 (the distance from the employee P1 to the visitor P2 exceeds the distance of 5 m or outside the meeting space M) for 10 minutes. Determine if it has passed. The state in which the determination in step SS110 is not satisfied is maintained, and the determination in step SS120 is not satisfied until 10 minutes have passed, and the process returns to step SS10 and the same procedure is repeated. If the determination at Step SS110 is not satisfied (distance 5m from employee P1 to visitor P2 or outside the meeting space M) and 10 minutes have passed, the determination at Step SS120 is satisfied and employee P1 and the visitor are visited. With P2, it is considered that the meeting state has been canceled (there is no longer any need to give the operating authority to the operating devices D1, D2, CP to the visitor P2), and the process proceeds to Step SS130.

  In step SS130, the CPU 21 of the management server S accesses the visitor authority database in the large-capacity storage device 25 again, and obtains the operation authority information (second authority information) for the operation devices D1, D2, and CP previously written in step SS80. Erase (authority erasure means). That is, in the example shown in FIG. 16, all “◯” described in each item of “granting authority” are changed to “x”. Along with this, the item of “status” is rewritten to “deleted”. In addition to this, by deleting the ID of the visitor tag ID itself, the association between the visitor P2 (in other words, the mobile station T2) and the second authority information may be extinguished.

  When step SS130 is completed as described above, the process proceeds to step SS140, and the flag F is returned to 0, which is the same as before granting authority. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step SS150.

  In step SS150, the CPU 21 of the management server S creates mail information (authority erasure notification signal) corresponding to the notification mail to delete the authority (similar to the notification mail at the time of granting the authority), and the network communication control unit 26 And output via the network NW (disappearance notification output means), thereby transmitting the authority deletion notification mail from the terminal base station BA to the portable terminal 100. Accordingly, the portable terminal 100 receives the transmitted authority deletion notification mail in step SM20 and displays the mail content corresponding to the display unit 109 (not shown), as in step SM10. Then, this flow ends.

  Note that the notification mail indicating that the authority to the visitor P2 has been deleted may be transmitted to a terminal such as the portable terminal 100 of the security guard or a personal computer, as in the case of the above-mentioned notification mail for granting authority (notification mode other than mail) As well). Moreover, you may make it perform the display corresponding to the display means separately provided in the mobile station T1.

  In the present embodiment configured as described above, when a radio signal for distance detection is transmitted from the employee mobile station T1 and the visitor mobile station T2, the radio signal is transmitted to the radio unit 16 of the base stations R1 to R4. The reception time of the radio signal at this time is detected by the arrival time detector 19. Thereby, the management server S detects the positions of the employee mobile station T1 and the visitor mobile station T2 in real time based on the reception time difference information of the base stations R1 to R4 (step SS20).

  Then, from this position detection result, it is determined whether or not the employee P1 and the visitor P2 are in a meeting state (step SS50 and step SS60). The operation authority (equivalent in this example) corresponding to the operation authority to be given is given (step SS80). As a result, the degree of freedom of operation for the operating devices D1, D2, and CP of the visitor P2 is improved, and the predetermined operating devices D1, D2, and CP can be operated independently (without accompanying or assisting the employee P1). Yes (see FIG. 17). As a result, the convenience of both the employee P1 and the visitor P2 can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, when granting the authority, a visitor authority database is provided in the large-capacity storage device 25 of the management server S, and the operation authority for the operating devices D1, D2, and CP can be individually set. As a result, it is possible to avoid the inconvenience (while ensuring security and safety) as in the case where uniform operation is prohibited for the visitor P2.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, based on the position detection result, in step SS50, only when the employee P1 and the visitor P2 are in a predetermined accessible area (in this example, the meeting space M), it is detected as a meeting state. As a result, when the distance is within 5 m from the employee P1 to the visitor P2 outside the meeting space M (for example, in the toilet Z3 as shown in FIG. 20, or in addition, various contractors work in the presence of the employee P1. Or just standing in a corridor that passes by accident, etc.) can be accurately identified.

  Further, even if the employee P1 and the visitor P2 are in the meeting space M and the distance from the employee P1 to the visitor P2 is within 5 m, the areas Ma, Mb, and Mc (see FIG. 1) If they exist in different areas, they may be excluded (so as not satisfy the determination in step SS50 or step SS110). In this case, in the room database shown in FIG. 12, the meeting space M is further subdivided into areas Ma, Mb, and Mc, and the areas are set so that the employee mobile station T1 and the visitor mobile station T2 are different from each other. It is sufficient to determine whether or not Ma, Mb, and Mc are present (shielding object judging means). Alternatively, the coordinate range occupied by the wall WA (shielding object) that divides the area is set in the room database, and the wall WA (or other vending machine etc.) is shielded between the employee mobile station T1 and the visitor mobile station T2. It is also possible to determine whether or not an object is present (shielding object judging means). In this case, as shown in FIG. 21, when the employee mobile station T1 and the visitor mobile station T2 accidentally come close to each other and are stationary with the wall WA interposed, it is erroneously detected as a meeting state. (Because it is impossible to meet across the wall WA). As a result, it is possible to accurately identify the visit.

  Further, particularly in the present embodiment, when the meeting state is canceled, the operation authority for the operation devices D1, D2, CP given to the visitor P2 at the time of detecting the meeting is extinguished (step SS130). Thus, when the state where the operation authority is required is completed, the original security and safety can be surely ensured by deleting the operation authority given to the customer P2. In step SS120 of FIG. 19, the automatic deletion is performed with the elapse of a predetermined period (in this example, 10 minutes) after cancellation of the meeting state, but instead, a predetermined period from the time when the authority is granted by the detection of the meeting (step SS80). You may make it delete automatically after progress (for example, 3 hours etc.).

  Further, particularly in the present embodiment, when the operation authority is extinguished, the fact that the authority is extinguished is notified to the employee P1 or the guard (or the visitor P2) by e-mail or the like (step SS150). Accordingly, it is possible to reliably notify that the authority granted to the visitor P2 has been deleted and disappeared.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and technical idea of the present invention. Hereinafter, such modifications will be described.

(1) When determining in the moving direction immediately before the stationary state, that is, when the meeting between the employee P1 and the visitor P2 is detected, immediately before the meeting space M is stationary (see step SS50) as described above. This is a case where the determination is made in consideration of the moving direction of the employee P1 and the visitor P2.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 22A to 22C, the employee P1 and the visitor P2 arrive at the meeting space M from different directions (may be at different timings) (see FIG. 22A), and then each other. And moving in a direction approaching each other (FIG. 22 (b)), such a movement trajectory repeats the position detection of the employee mobile station T1 and the visitor mobile station T2 described above. Obtained by the management server S. Therefore, the management server S determines whether or not the moving directions immediately before the stationary state are opposite to each other as shown in FIG. 22B (opposite determination means), so that this determination is satisfied (step SS50 or step It can be a condition for meeting detection (similar to SS60). Alternatively, in this case, the determination of the duration in step SS60 may be shortened (for example, 1 minute, see FIG. 22C). Furthermore, the determination procedure itself of the duration time in step SS60 may be omitted.

  Also by this modification, the same effect as the above-mentioned embodiment is acquired.

(2) When the meeting state is determined based on the continuation of the moving state, that is, on the condition that the employee P1 and the visitor P2 are substantially stationary and within the predetermined distance range as described above (on a stationary basis) When the employee P1 and the visitor P2 are moving together within a predetermined distance range instead of determining the meeting state, the meeting state is determined by satisfying other predetermined conditions.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 23, assuming that the employee P1 is moving toward the laboratory Z1 while guiding the visitor P2, the employee P1 is also moving while moving through the hallway (see FIG. 24). Even after entering the laboratory Z1 with the entry authority (pre-assigned) owned by P1 (see FIG. 25), the distance between the two is usually within the predetermined distance range (in this example, the distance from the employee P1 to the visitor P2 is within 5 m) )It is in. Therefore, the management server S determines that the employee P1 and the visitor P2 are in a moving state based on the position detection results of the employee mobile station T1 and the visitor mobile station T2 (movement determination means; for example, the movement speed is It is determined that the distance is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold), and further, it is determined that the predetermined distance (for example, 3 minutes) has been maintained while moving within the predetermined distance range during the movement (movement time determination means), both When the above determination is satisfied, it may be determined that the state is a meeting state (meeting detection means; see FIG. 26). Instead of the travel time determination means, it may be determined that a predetermined distance (for example, 100 m) has been maintained while moving within the predetermined distance range during the travel (movement distance determination means).

  Also by this modification, the same effect as the above-mentioned embodiment is acquired.

  In the case of this modification, the operation authority of the operating devices D1, D2, and CP to be given to the visitor P2 is set to the road until the meeting is detected after the predetermined time (or the above-mentioned predetermined distance movement) shown in FIG. You may make it limit to the thing according to the movement locus | trajectory of the broken line in FIG. That is, in the example shown in FIGS. 23 to 26, since the movement is corridor → lab room P1 → corridor → meeting space M, the employee P1 has the door D1 of the laboratory Z1, the door D2 of the living room Z2, and a copy. Even if it has the operation authority of the machine CP, the operation authority of only the door D1 (or the copy machine CP) of the laboratory Z1 may be given to the visitor P2 corresponding to the movement history.

(3) When the authority is extinguished by manual operation In other words, in the above, the operation authority for the operation devices D1, D2, and CP granted to the visitor P2 based on the visit detection is set to a predetermined condition (predetermined after the visit state is canceled). Automatically disappeared based on elapse of time, elapse of a predetermined time after the detection of the meeting, etc., but is not limited thereto. That is, it may be extinguished by an appropriate manual operation by the employee P1. Specifically, for example, the extinction operation is performed by an appropriate operation means provided in the employee mobile station T1, and the corresponding operation signal is read by the nearest base station R and sent to the management server S. Perform the corresponding deletion process in the authority database. Alternatively, by performing an appropriate operation on the mobile terminal 100 owned by the employee P1, a corresponding operation signal is input to the management server via the antenna 102, the terminal base station BA, and the network NW, and the management server S A corresponding deletion process may be performed in step (b). Thereby, the operation authority of the operation devices D1, D2, and CP for the visitor P2 can be deleted at an appropriate timing according to the intention of the employee P1, and security and safety can be reliably ensured.

(4) TOA method In the above, the so-called TDOA (Time Difference of Arrival) method that performs distance measurement processing based on the reception time difference of each base station R with respect to the radio signal for distance detection from the mobile station T is taken as an example. Although explained, it is not limited to this. That is, distance measurement processing may be performed using a method using RSSI (Received Signal Strength) or a TOA (Time of Arrival) method. In the case of the TOA system, the above-described clock 35 is provided in the mobile stations T1 and T2, and the clocks of the mobile stations T1 and T2 and the base stations R1 to R4 are adjusted. Then, the arrival times (propagation times) from the mobile stations T1 and T2 to the base stations R1 to R4 are calculated from the transmission times at the mobile stations T1 and T2 and the reception times at the base stations R1 to R4. The position detection process can be performed at each of the mobile stations T1 and T2.

  Also by this modification, the same effect as the above-mentioned embodiment and each modification is acquired.

(5) Others In the above, when the employee P1 who has the operation authority for the operating devices D1, D2, and CP in advance or the visitor P2 to whom the operation authority is granted by the visitor exercises the operation authority, the management server Based on the position detection result in S, it is determined whether the employee P1 (or the visitor P2) has approached the operating devices D1, D2, and CP, and the lock is released. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as described with reference to FIG. 7, for example, an ID card (a so-called RFID tag or the like) may be used for a reading device separately prepared near the operation devices D1, D2, and CP. It is sufficient that the tag ID of the station T and the tag ID of the RFID tag are associated with each other in a database), so that the management server S recognizes that the authority by the person with the operation authority has been exercised, and the lock is released. It may be. In this case, the same effect is obtained.

  In addition to those already described above, the methods according to the above-described embodiments and modifications may be used in appropriate combination.
