  In the present embodiment, the database 9 is configured by a storage unit of the management server 3, the lending processing unit 11 and the return processing unit 12 are configured by a calculation unit and a storage unit of the management server 3, and the gate control unit 10 is an entrance / exit control device. 6.

  The card information S provided in the foreign card 2 may be any data as long as it can identify each card and can be read by the authentication device 8, for example, card identification information D1 stored in the database 9. However, the data may be different from the card identification information D1.

  As a method of associating the card identification information D1 with the card information S, for example, a card reader (not shown) connected to the management server 3 is used, and the card information S of the foreign card 2 read by the card reader and the input terminal 4 are used. The input card identification information D1 is associated.

  The card identification information D1 is information that is set and registered in the database 9 in advance in the preparatory stage before operation. FIG. 3 shows an information setting screen displayed on the monitor 5. As card identification information D1, the operator selects “personal ID” information B1, “card format No.” information B2, “card” in the “basic information” tab state. “No.” information B3 is input, and the “management” tab is clicked as shown in FIG. 4, and the “external” information B4 column is selected as “present” as the management type. FIG. 3 shows a case where “ID000021” is input as “personal ID” information B1, “0000001” is input as “card format No.” information B2, and “100021” is input as “card No.” information B3. ing. At least the “personal ID” information B1 and the “card No.” information B3 are different data for each card. Further, the “temporary prohibition” button C1 is set to “prohibited” as the “invalid” setting of the gate passage permission information D2.

  Next, when the “authority” tab is clicked, the information setting screen is switched as shown in FIG. 5, and the operator sets the access level. The access level includes a pattern of presence / absence of access authority (traffic permission) for each gate 7 when there are a plurality of gates 7. For each gate 7, the time code No. , The time code name is set. Time code No. The time code name is composed of patterns of differences in use time zones (passage permission time zones).

  For example, there are three gates 7 and each gate No. Gate no. 1-No. Assuming that the access level considering only the pattern of presence / absence of access authority is 3, gate No. “Access level 1” is set as a pattern that permits passage of only gate 1; 1 and gate no. “Access level 2” is set as a pattern for allowing only passage 2 and gate no. 1 to gate no. “Access level 3” is set as a pattern for allowing all 3 to pass. That is, gate No. When 1 is a gate 7 that is always used, “access level 1” is the minimum access level.

  When there are a large number of gates 7, the number of combinations increases considerably. In general, however, only some patterns frequently used therein are set as access levels.

  The access level can be set to the same access level for all the outpatient cards 2 or different access levels can be mixed. The set access level is basically not added or changed at the time of lending. If you add or change the card, you will need to restore it when you return the card. When adding a permission gate at the time of lending, as will be described later, it is performed on the “alien registration-temporary authority” screen of FIG.

  As described above, when the card identification information D1, the accelerator level, and the gate passage permission information D2 (in this case, “invalid” information) are set in the database 9 (management server 3), the information is stored in the gate control unit 10. It is transmitted to (entrance / exit control device 6) and stored in a storage unit (not shown) of the entrance / exit control device 6.

"Procedures and effects at the time of lending"
An example of the procedure at the time of lending will be described. The reception operator receives an application for entry of a visitor from outside, and asks for an identification card and confirms the identity. Next, an arbitrary card is taken out from a plurality of stocked outpatient cards 2, and the taken-out card is selected as a card to be lent out on the visitor list screen of the monitor 5 shown in FIG. As an example, when the number of “personal ID” is attached to the surface of the visitor card 2, the operator selects “individual” attached to the taken out card in the visitor list screen of the monitor 5 shown in FIG. 6. The card list information B5 having the same “personal ID” number as the “ID” number is selected.

When the operator clicks the “lending” button C2 on the screen of FIG. 6, the screen switches to the “foreigner registration-basic information” screen shown in FIG. 7, and the operator selects “name”, “furigana”, “affiliation”, The identification information D3 of the visitor such as “start date / time”, “effective date / time”, “business”, “visitor”, “destination”, etc. is input. It is also possible to input an image saved by a digital camera, a scanner or the like as a face photograph.
As another example, when the card information S of the visitor card 2 arbitrarily taken out by the operator is read by a card reader (not shown), the card identification information input in advance in association with the card information S Based on D1, the “alien registration-basic information” screen of FIG. 7 of the foreign card 2 read may be automatically opened.

  In addition, when a passage permission gate is separately added, the permission gate to be added is input on the “alien registration-temporary authority” screen shown in FIG. Data regarding the added permission gate is automatically deleted when the card is returned. Then, the operator clicks the “lending” button C3 on the screen of FIG. 7 and lends the outpatient card 2 taken out to the outpatient. When the “lending” button C3 is clicked, the gate passage permission information D2 (FIG. 2) is automatically set to “valid”.

  With the above lending procedure, the lending processing means 11 in FIG. 2 stores the alien identification information D3 in association with the card identification information D1 stored in the database 9 regarding the rented alien card 2 and rents the alien The gate pass permission information D <b> 2 that becomes “valid” with respect to the person card 2 is transmitted to the gate control unit 10. The gate control unit 10 validates the authentication of the card information S by the authentication device 8 based on the “valid” gate passage permission information D2. Thus, when the visitor holds the visitor card 2 over the authentication device 8, the electric lock of the gate 7 is unlocked, and the visitor can enter the room. Specifically, when the visitor holds the visitor card 2 over the authentication device 8, the authentication verification unit 13 of the entrance / exit control device 6 enters the card information S of the visitor card 2 read by the authentication device 8. The card identification information D1 stored in the storage unit of the exit control device 6 is collated, and when the two match, based on the gate pass permission information D2, the access level, and the visitor identification information D3 that become “valid”. The lock / unlock control unit 14 of the exit control device 6 unlocks the electric lock of the gate 7. The monitor 5 (FIG. 1) can search and display the card identification information D1 of the alien card 2 being lent and the identification information D3 of the alien.

  Further, the lending processing means 11 additionally sets the permission gate for which the additional input has been made by the additional gate setting means 15 when the additional input of the permission gate is made on the “alien registration-temporary authority” screen of FIG. . Thereby, the outpatient can pass the permission gate additionally set by the additional gate setting means 15 in addition to the permission gate set at the access level.

"Procedures and actions when returning"
An example of the procedure at the time of return will be described. When the visitor card 2 is returned from the visitor, the reception operator selects the returned card on the visitor list screen of the monitor 5 shown in FIG. As an example, when the number of “personal ID” is attached to the surface of the visitor card 2, the operator selects “individual” attached to the returned card in the visitor list screen of the monitor 5 shown in FIG. 9. The card list information B6 having the same “personal ID” number as the “ID” number is selected.

  When the operator clicks the “return” button C4 on the screen of FIG. 9, the gate passage permission information D2 (FIG. 2) is automatically set to “invalid”. “Name”, “Furigana”, “Affiliation”, “Start Date / Time”, “Effective Date / Time”, “Requirement”, “Visit”, “Destination” entered on the “Outpatient Registration-Basic Information” screen of FIG. The identification information D3 of the foreigner such as is automatically deleted. Data relating to the permission gate additionally input on the screen of FIG. 8 is also automatically deleted. Then, the return history information is stored in the management server 3. As another example, when the card information S of the returned foreign card 2 is read by a card reader (not shown), it is based on the card identification information D1 input in advance in association with the card information S. Then, the above-described return processing may be performed such that the “alien registration-basic information” screen of FIG. 7 of the foreign card 2 read is automatically opened.

  With the above return procedure, the return processing means 12 in FIG. 2 erases the foreigner identification information D3 associated by the lending processing means 11 and “invalidates the gate passage permission information D2 regarding the returned foreign card 2”. The gate passage permission information D2 that has become “invalid” is transmitted to the gate control unit 10. The gate control unit 10 invalidates the authentication of the card information S by the authentication device 8 based on the “invalid” gate passage permission information D2. Thereby, even if the returned foreign card 2 is held over the authentication device 8, the electric lock of the gate 7 is not unlocked, and entry into the room becomes impossible. Specifically, when the visitor holds the visitor card 2 over the authentication device 8, the authentication verification unit 13 of the entrance / exit control device 6 enters the card information S of the visitor card 2 read by the authentication device 8. The card identification information D1 stored in the storage unit of the exit control device 6 is collated. At this time, even if the two match, based on the gate pass permission information D2 that becomes "invalid" The lock control unit 14 keeps the electric lock of the gate 7 locked.

  Further, when the permission gate is additionally set by the additional gate setting means 15 of the lending processing means 11, the return processing means 12 deletes the additional setting of the permission gate by the additional gate deleting means 16. As a result, all the foreign card 2 to be returned returns to a state in which only permitted gates permitted at the same access level can pass.

As described above, the visitor card 2 having the card information S for identifying each card and the card identification information D1 associated with the card information S are stored, and gate pass permission information for each visitor card 2 The authentication of the card information S by the authentication device 8 is enabled or disabled based on the database 9 in which “valid” / “invalid” of D2 and the access level are set, and “valid” / “invalid” of the gate passage permission information D2 And the card identification information D3 stored in the database 9 related to the loaned foreigner card 2 in association with the gate control unit 10 that rents the card, and stores the foreigner identification information D3 in association with the card access permission information D2. Lending processing means 11 for setting the “valid” and transmitting the “valid” gate passage permission information D2 to the gate control unit 10, and a card At the time of rejection, the foreigner identification information D3 associated by the lending processing means 11 is deleted, the gate passage permission information D2 is set to “invalid”, and the gate passage permission information D2 that has become “invalid” is gated. According to the entrance / exit management system 1 including the return processing means 12 transmitted to the control unit 10, the following effects are exhibited.
Since the technique of Patent Document 1 is a technique for writing personal identification data (external identification information) to a card, it is necessary to delete the personal identification data from the card when the card is reused. In the entrance / exit management system 1, the foreigner identification information D3 is temporarily stored in association with the card identification information D1 of the database 9, and the associated foreigner identification information D3 is erased when the card is returned. The visitor card 2 can be reused without requiring any work such as data erasure.

  Further, the lending processing unit 11 includes an additional gate setting unit 15 that can additionally set a permission gate, and the return processing unit 12 includes an additional gate deletion unit 16 that deletes the additional setting of the permission gate of the additional gate setting unit 15. If it is configured, the main gate 7 that is used or frequently used is set at the access level, and the other gate 7 is additionally set by the additional gate setting means 15, which is loaned to the operator. The setting work of the permission gate at the time becomes easy. At the time of return, the additional setting of the permission gate is deleted by the additional gate erasing means 16, so that there is no mistake that the operator forgets to delete.

  In the entrance / exit management system 1 of the present embodiment, a card lending history, return history, entrance history, exit history, and error information history are stored in the management server 3, and these histories are displayed on the monitor 5 by operating the input terminal 4. It can be displayed. Each history includes at least the date and time of occurrence, information identifying the alien card 2 that has been lent (card identification information D1), and information identifying the alien (for example, identification information D3 of the alien including at least a name). Is done. Further, by operating the input terminal 4, it is possible to search for the alien card 2 being lent and to search for the alien card 2 before renting. Furthermore, in the case where an effective date / time after lending to the foreign card 2 is set, it is also possible to search for an unreturned foreign card 2 whose effective date / time has passed.

  Further, as a card return mode, the foreign card 2 can be returned to the card collection box 21 as shown in FIG. 1 instead of being returned to the reception. The card collection box 21 has an insertion / return port 21a for the visitor card 2, and a card reader capable of reading the card information S is built therein. When the foreign card 2 is returned to the card collection box 21, the built-in card reader reads the card information S, and the read information is transmitted to the management server 3. In the management server 3, the return processing means 12 shown in FIG. 2 automatically deletes the visitor identification information D 3 and sets the gate passage permission information D 2 to “invalid” for the returned visitor card 2. The gate passage permission information D2 that becomes “invalid” is transmitted to the gate control unit 10.

  Further, in the entrance / exit management system 1, it is possible to connect a reservation server 22 of an outpatient to the management server 3 as shown in FIG. In this case, the visitor inputs the visitor's identification information D3 such as name in advance by the reservation server 22. The foreigner identification information D3 input by the reservation server 22 is transmitted to the management server 3 after being confirmed by an administrator, for example. In the management server 3, the visitor list screen shown in FIG. 6 is automatically created, and the visitor identification information D3 is automatically input on the “foreign visitor registration-basic information” screen shown in FIG. . The card identification information D1 is set and registered in advance in the database 9 at the preparation stage before operation.

  When a visitor who has reserved by the reservation server 22 applies for entry at the reception, the reception operator confirms the identity by requesting identification card etc., and on the visitor list screen shown in FIG. 6 based on the identity confirmation Confirm the list information B5 to be clicked, and click the “lending” button C2. When the screen is switched to the “outpatient registration-basic information” screen shown in FIG. 7, since the outpatient identification information D3 has already been input as described above, input by the operator becomes unnecessary. Next, the operator arbitrarily takes out one of the stocked foreign card 2 and inputs the number of “personal ID” given to the surface of the foreign card 2. The card information S of the visitor card 2 may be read by a card reader (not shown). Then, the “lending” button C3 is clicked, and the foreigner card 2 is lent.

  The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various design changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
