In addition, although the following example demonstrates registration of the unlocking lock user in the storage 20, it is the same also about the storages 22-26.

  In step 100 (S100), a registration request is transmitted from the registration control unit 202 in the storage 20 to the management apparatus 10.

  In step 102 (S102), identification information is acquired by the identification information acquisition unit 102 in the management apparatus 10. Here, for example, identification information about a user who makes an input about whether or not an unlocked / locked user can be registered is acquired.

  In step 104 (S104), the authentication control unit 104 of the management apparatus 10 performs an authentication process based on the identification information acquired in step 102. If the authentication is successful, the process proceeds to step 106, and the authentication fails. Return to step 102. If the authentication is successful, the user is permitted to operate the registration management unit 106.

  In step 106 (S106), the registration management unit 106 determines whether or not registration is possible based on input by the user, and if registration is permitted, registration permission information is transmitted to the repository 20 and the process proceeds to step 108, where registration is performed. When not permitting, registration refusal information is transmitted to the storage 20 and the process ends.

  In step 108 (S108), the identification information acquisition unit 204 of the storage 20 acquires identification information about a user who is a registration target as an unlocked locking user.

  In step 110 (S110), the registration control unit 202 of the vault 20 registers as an unlocked locking user. In addition, the registration control unit 202 transmits a notification of registration to the management apparatus 10. The registration control unit 202 may send registered user information (for example, information shown in FIG. 7) to the management apparatus 10.

  In step 112 (S112), the information notified in step 110 is displayed on the UI device 42 of the management apparatus 10.

  In step 200 (S200), identification information is acquired by the identification information acquisition unit 102 in the management apparatus 10. Here, for example, the identification information about the user who inputs the conditions related to unlocking or locking is acquired.

  In step 202 (S202), the authentication control unit 104 of the management apparatus 10 performs an authentication process based on the identification information acquired in step 200. If the authentication is successful, the process proceeds to step 204, and the authentication fails. Return to step 200. If the authentication is successful, the user is permitted to operate the unlocking / locking condition setting unit 108.

  In step 204 (S204), the unlocking / locking condition setting unit 108 sets conditions based on the input by the user.

  The registration of the unlocking / locking user and the setting of the conditions for unlocking or locking do not need to be performed separately. For example, the setting of the conditions related to unlocking or locking may be performed between step 106 and step 108 when registration is permitted in step 106 in the flowchart shown in FIG.

Next, an operation for unlocking or locking will be described.
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the operation of the storage management system 1 for unlocking or locking. In addition, although the following example demonstrates registration of the unlocking lock user in the storage 20, it is the same also about the storages 22-26.

  In step 300 (S300), the identification information acquisition unit 204 in the storage 20 acquires the identification information of the unlocked / locked user.

  In step 302 (S302), it is determined whether the authentication is successful or unsuccessful based on the identification information acquired in step 300. For example, the unlocking / locking control unit 206 in the storage 20 uses the identification information already registered by the information shown in FIG. 7 and the identification information acquired by the identification information acquisition unit 204 in step 300 for authentication. In comparison, the success or failure of the authentication is determined. If the authentication is successful, the process proceeds to step 304. If the authentication is unsuccessful, the process ends.

  In Step 304 (S304), the unlocking / locking control unit 206 in the storage 20 determines whether or not the set unlocking or locking condition is satisfied. For example, in the case where it is the available time zone of the unlocked user who has been authenticated in step 302 in light of the preset conditions as shown in FIG. 8, the process proceeds to step 306 and is not the available time zone. If so, exit.

  In step 306 (S306), the unlocking / locking control unit 206 in the storage 20 performs control so that the opening / closing unit 32 is unlocked or locked.

  In the example shown in FIG. 11, the authentication in step 302 and the conditions in step 304 are compared for one unlocking / locking user, but it may be performed for a plurality of people.

  When the sub opening / closing unit 33 and the sub identification information reading device 35 are provided, the same operation as the flowchart shown in FIG. 11 is performed for locking or unlocking the sub opening / closing unit 33.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the operation of the storage management system 1 when it is necessary to authenticate a plurality of unlocked users for unlocking or locking.

  In the flowchart shown in FIG. 12, steps 310 to 314 are further added to the flowchart shown in FIG. In steps 300 to 304, identification information is acquired from the first identification target person, and it is determined whether it is an authentication and usable time zone. In steps 310 to 314, identification information is acquired from the second identification target person. It is determined whether it is an authentication and available time zone.
