<Operation of Specific Example 1>
Next, the operation will be described.
A person (each individual) who passes through the gates (doors) 12 to 15 and intends to enter (for example, exit) a room provided at the end of the gate first has his own mobile terminal, and the management device At 1, it is necessary to register personal recognition information.
With reference to FIG. 3, the registration procedure of personal recognition information will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a procedure for registering personal recognition information.

  An individual (registrant) who wants to register personal recognition information first follows biometric information (iris, fingerprint, retina, etc.) from the optical unit of the registration device 9 in accordance with the instructions of the system administrator of the gate management system in the present invention. Is registered as video information, for example. The video information registered in the registration device 9 is converted into a predetermined data format by the control unit 8 and stored in the memory 18 (step S1).

  At the same time, the system administrator registers the personal information of the registrant other than the biometric information, that is, the personal ID number such as the employee number (step S2), through the input means such as a keyboard provided in the registration device 9, and the registrant's possession. The identification number of the simple mobile phone to be registered is registered (step S3), the security level is given to the registrant and registered (step S4), and the gate passing schedule for the registrant to enter the room is registered (step S5). The registered information is stored in the memory 18.

  Next, the flow until the registrant unlocks the gate (door) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a flow until the gate 12 is unlocked. In order to simplify the description, the case where the registrant unlocks the gate 12 in the wireless zone a and enters the room will be described as an example.

  It is assumed that the registrant holding the portable terminal 21 with a built-in simple mobile phone is heading toward the gate device 2 (gate 12) while holding the portable terminal 21. Since the gate 12 is in the wireless zone a, the registrant holding the portable terminal 21 enters the area of the wireless zone a before reaching the gate 12.

  When a registrant enters the area of the wireless zone a, radio waves emitted by the simple mobile phone 22 built in the portable terminal 21 held by the registrant are detected by the indoor base station A, and communication is performed to recognize each other. (Step T1). Thereby, the indoor base station A recognizes the position information of the mobile terminal 21 and the identification number of the simple mobile phone (also referred to as the identification number of the mobile terminal, hereinafter the same). These pieces of information recognized by the indoor base station A are transmitted to the management apparatus 1 via the PBX 7, HUB 2, LAN 6, and HUB 1 (step T2).

  The management device 1 determines which gate the registrant is going to pass based on the location information of the mobile terminal 21 (registrant) transmitted from the PBX 7 and the identification number of the built-in simple mobile phone, The registrant's identification information (biological information, personal ID number, registrant's security level, registrant's gate passage schedule) is notified to the gate control device (in this case, the gate devices 2 and 3) that controls Step T3).

  The registrant arriving at the gate 12 inputs biometric information (iris, fingerprint, retina, etc.) from the optical unit of the collator 11 provided in the gate device 2. The input biometric information is sent to the control unit 10 and collated with the biometric information notified from the management device 1, and in the case of inconsistency, the process ends without unlocking the gate (step T4). ).

  On the other hand, if the collation results match in step T4, the security level preset in the gate device 2 is compared with the security level of the registrant notified from the management device 1, and the gate device 2 is compared. If the security level of the registrant is lower than the security level set in advance in step 2, the process ends without the gate being unlocked (step T5).

  On the other hand, if the security level of the registrant is higher than the security level preset in the gate device 2 in step T5, the current time is checked against the registrant's gate passing schedule. If they do not match, the gate is not unlocked and the process ends (step T6).

  On the other hand, when the collation results match at step T6, the gate device 2 unlocks the electric lock of the gate 12 (step T7). At the same time, the gate device 2 notifies the management device 1 of passage information of the gate based on information from the entrance / exit sensor provided in the gate 12.

  By the way, since the processing from the above steps T1 to T3 is performed at a very high speed, when the registrant reaches the gate 12 after entering the wireless zone a, the gate device 2 already has the identification information of the registrant. Since biometric information, personal ID number, registrant's security level, registrant's gate pass schedule, etc. are downloaded, biometric information of the registrant, security level comparison, schedule verification by the gate device 2 (Hereinafter also referred to as authentication of the registrant) can be performed immediately.

  Further, when the registrant passes through the gate 12 and returns after completing the business, the management device 1 is notified when the registrant goes out of the area of the wireless zone a, and the management device 1 downloads the gate device to the gate devices 2 and 3. The user is instructed to discard the registrant's recognition information. The recognition information of the registrant may be discarded when the registrant passes the gate.

  In the above description, the case where the gate passes from one to the other (for example, when entering a certain room, etc.) is described. After the visit, the user may be allowed to leave, or may leave the room freely (for example, unlocked by turning the inner key knob), that is, the user may exit without authentication of the registrant. . In this case, when the unlocked gate is closed, it is automatically (immediately) locked (the same applies to the following specific examples).

<Effect of specific example 1>
As described above, according to the first specific example, based on the current location information of the registrant detected by the mobile terminal possessed by each registrant and the identification number of the simple mobile phone built in the mobile terminal. Since the personal information of the registrant is downloaded from the management device only to the gate device that is about to pass, the gate device does not require a storage device for data storage, and the gate device is reduced in size and price. Is possible.

  Also, the recognition information (biometric information, personal ID number, registrant's security level, registrant's gate passage schedule, etc.) necessary for authentication of the registrant has entered the area of any wireless zone. Since it is downloaded to the gate device to which the registrant is heading from the time until it reaches the gate device in the wireless zone, it is possible to immediately authenticate the registrant by the gate device. It has become.

Next, the operation will be described.
A person (each individual) who passes through the gates (doors) 13 to 15 and wants to enter a room (the same as for leaving), for example, first possesses his / her own mobile terminal. At 31, it is necessary to register personal recognition information. The procedure for registering personal recognition information is the same as that described with reference to FIG.

  In the third specific example, the identification information (the individual-specific biometric information and the individual ID number) registered in the management apparatus 1 in the first specific example and related to the privacy of the registrant is owned by the registrant. It is assumed that the information is registered (stored) in advance in the memory card 28 of the portable terminal 29 by a predetermined method.

  Next, a flow until the gate (door) is unlocked by the registrant will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a flow until the gate 13 is unlocked. In order to simplify the description, the case where the registrant unlocks the gate 13 in the wireless zone a and enters the room will be described as an example.

  It is assumed that a registrant holding a portable terminal 29 with a built-in simple mobile phone is heading toward the gate device 35 (gate 13) while holding the portable terminal 29. Since the gate 13 is in the wireless zone a, the registrant holding the portable terminal 29 enters the area of the wireless zone a before reaching the gate 13.

  When the registrant enters the area of the wireless zone a, the radio wave emitted from the simple mobile phone 22 built in the portable terminal 29 held by the registrant is detected by the indoor base station A and transmitted to the control unit 34 of the gate device 35. (Step C1). As a result, the control unit 34 of the gate device 35 receives the recognition information (information specific to the individual) that is information related to the privacy of the registrant registered (stored) in the memory card 28 in the portable terminal 29 via the indoor base station A. The biometric information and the personal ID number) is requested to be uploaded. In response to this request, the control unit 30 of the portable terminal 29 stores the identification information (the individual-specific biometric information and the individual ID number) registered (stored) in the memory card 28 via the indoor base station A. Uploading is performed to the control unit 34 of the gate device 35 (step C2).

  Along with this, the control unit 34 of the gate device 35 is registered (stored) in the memory 33 via the LAN 6 with respect to the management device 31. The personal identification information (the identification number of the portable terminal possessed by the individual, the security level of the individual, the schedule of the individual, etc.) is requested. In response to this request, the management device 31 registers (stores) the management device 31 in the memory 33 via the LAN 6, and recognizes the identification information (the identification number of the mobile terminal possessed by the individual, the security level of the individual, The personal schedule or the like is downloaded to the control unit 34 of the gate device 35 (step C3).

  The registrant arriving at the gate 12 inputs biometric information (iris, fingerprint, retina, etc.) from the optical unit of the collator 11 provided in the gate device 35. The input biometric information is sent to the control unit 34 and collated with the biometric information uploaded from the portable terminal 29. If there is a mismatch, the gate is not unlocked and the process ends (step C4). ).

  On the other hand, if the collation results match in step C4, the security level preset in the gate device 35 is compared with the security level of the registrant downloaded from the management device 31, and the gate device If the security level of the registrant is lower than the security level set in advance in 35, the process ends without unlocking the gate (step C5).

  On the other hand, if the security level of the registrant is higher than the security level preset in the gate device 35 in step C6, the current time is checked against the registrant's gate passing schedule. If they do not match, the gate is not unlocked and the process ends (step C6).

  On the other hand, if the collation results match in step C6, the gate device 35 unlocks the electric lock of the gate 13 (step C7). At the same time, the gate device 35 notifies the management device 31 of the passage information of the gate based on information from the entrance / exit sensor provided in the gate 13.

  By the way, since the processing from the above steps C1 to C3 is performed at a very high speed, when the registrant enters the wireless zone a and arrives at the gate 13, the gate device 35 already has the identification information of the registrant. Since biometric information, personal ID number, registrant security level, registrant's gate passing schedule, etc. are downloaded, biometric information of the registrant by the gate device 35, security level comparison, schedule verification (Authentication of the registrant) can be performed immediately.

  Further, when the registrant passes through the gate 13, completes the business, returns and goes out of the area of the wireless zone a, the gate device 35 discards the registrant's recognition information downloaded to the gate device 35. Is called. The recognition information of the registrant may be discarded when the registrant passes the gate.

  In the above description, the case where the gate passes from one to the other (for example, when entering a certain room, etc.) is described. After the visit, the user may be allowed to leave, or may leave the room freely (for example, unlocked by turning the inner key knob), that is, the user may exit without authentication of the registrant. . In this case, when the unlocked gate is closed, it is automatically locked (immediately).

<Effect of specific example 3>
As described above, according to the third specific example, in addition to the effects described in the first and second specific examples, the PBX is eliminated and it is not necessary to construct a simple mobile phone network for the office. Lower prices are possible.

<Specific Example 4>
Since the configuration of the specific example 4 is the same as that described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10 in the specific example 3, the description thereof is omitted. In Specific Example 4, the gate management system described in Specific Example 3 is used as a local mail system using a simple mobile phone. In the fourth specific example, the mobile terminal 29 has a mail transmission / reception function, and functions as a mail transmission / reception terminal of a local mail system constituted by each indoor base station.

<Operation of Specific Example 4>
Next, the operation will be described.
As in the case of the specific example 3, when a registrant possessing the portable terminal 29 enters an arbitrary wireless zone, the control unit 32 of the management device 31 detects (manages) which wireless zone the registrant has entered. . In this way, the on-site mail system according to this specific example manages the location information for each registrant, and in other wireless zones other than the wireless zone where the registrant is located, other people can read the mail addressed to the registrant. Ban.

Further details will be described with reference to the drawings.
Now, it is assumed that an arbitrary registrant enters the room from the gate device 35 (door 13) in the wireless zone a and belongs to the wireless zone a. Then, if there is a mail reception request from the mobile terminal 29 of the registrant belonging to the wireless zone a, as described in the specific example 3, the mobile terminal 29 is authenticated by the gate management system. Because it is done, it is allowed to receive mail. At this time, the mail addressed to the registrant is delivered only to the indoor base station A that generates the wireless zone a by the gate management system.

  At this time, if there is a request for receiving a mail addressed to the registrant from a mobile terminal other than the registrant from the same radio zone a or another radio zone b or c, the gate management system Since the registrant other than the person is not recognized (authenticated) as the registrant, the request for receiving the mail addressed to the registrant is rejected.

<Effect of specific example 4>
As described above, according to the specific example 4, since the position of the registrant who is the owner of the mobile terminal can be known, an e-mail addressed to the registrant can be sent only to the indoor base station having jurisdiction over the position of the registrant. Only when it is determined that the mobile terminal that has received the mail reception request can be distributed and is owned by the registrant who has been personally authenticated, the mobile terminal can view the mail. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a mail addressed to the registrant from being browsed by another portable terminal or unauthorized means, and a highly secure mail system can be constructed.

  As described above, in the present invention, the gate management system using the simple mobile phone network in the office has been described, but it is needless to say that the present invention can also be applied as a gate management system between different offices such as the head office and branch offices.

  In the above invention, the individual authentication determination is described as being performed by each gate device. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be performed by a management device, for example. In this case, as a configuration of the gate device, information necessary for personal authentication of the gate device is transmitted from the gate device side to the management device, and the “result of personal authentication determination” performed by the management device is transmitted from the management device. Receiving and opening / closing the gate based on the reception result, and receiving a “signal for opening / closing the gate” based on the result of the personal authentication determination from the management device, and opening / closing the gate according to the received signal It is conceivable that the configuration is performed, but the present invention is not limited to these.
