Indicates the state. As described above, by associating a plurality of registered person images with one residence number, a plurality of persons can be registered with respect to one residence.

  FIG. 4B is a specific example of the authentication history. The authentication history is data in which date / time, registered person image, and location are associated with each other. Specifically, a person matching the registered person image “A003.jpg” passes through the entrance at “6/28 12:00”, and a registered person image “A017.jpg” appears at “6/28 12:15”. It shows that a matching person has passed the entrance. In addition, when the collective entrance machine 10 is installed in a plurality of places, it is desirable to have a place item. However, when the collective entrance machine 10 is installed only in a single entrance, the place item is omitted. May be.

  FIG. 4C is a specific example of the visit history. The visit history is data in which the date and time, the visitor, and the image of the person who has visited are associated with each other. Specifically, a call is made to the residence number “103” at “6/28 9:00”, the person image of the person is “B001.jpg”, and “6/28 12: A call is made to the house number “408” at “40”, indicating that the person image of the person is “B002.jpg”. Here, the person image of the visitor is different from the registered person image. Specifically, an image of a person who has been detected from an image captured by the camera 12 of the collective entrance 10 and used for authentication processing but failed in authentication is stored as a person image of the visitor.

  Next, a processing procedure related to a call by the collective entrance machine 10 will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure related to a call by the collective entrance machine 10. Note that the processing procedure shown in this flowchart is repeatedly executed by the collective entrance 10.

  First, if the operation unit 11 does not accept the input of the house number and the pressing of the call button (step S101; No), the collective entrance machine 10 ends the process, and repeatedly executes the processing procedure shown in the flowchart as described above. To do.

  Then, if the operation unit 11 accepts the input of the house number and the pressing of the call button (step S101; Yes), the call processing unit 17a calls the interphone terminal 20 corresponding to the input house number (step). S102). At the time of this call, the image transmission unit 17b transmits the image captured by the camera 12 to the server 30 and also to the interphone terminal 20 that is the call destination.

  After calling the interphone terminal 20, the call processing unit 17a determines whether or not there is a response from the interphone terminal 20 (step S103). If there is no response from the intercom terminal 20 (step S103; No), the call processing unit 17a determines whether or not to end the call (step S104). An arbitrary condition can be used for determining whether or not the call has ended, such as when a predetermined time has elapsed since the call. When terminating the call (step S104; Yes), the collective entrance machine 10 terminates the process, and repeatedly executes the processing procedure shown in this flowchart as described above. If the call is not terminated (step S104; No), the call processing unit 17a proceeds to step S103 and determines whether or not there is a response from the intercom terminal 20.

  If there is a response from the intercom terminal 20 (step S103; Yes), the call processing unit 17a starts a call (step S105). Specifically, the voice data collected by the microphone 13 is transmitted to the intercom terminal 20, and the voice data received from the interphone terminal 20 is output from the speaker 14.

  After the call starts, the unlocking processing unit 17c determines whether or not an unlocking request has been received from the intercom terminal 20 (step S106). If the unlocking request is received from the intercom terminal 20 (step S106; Yes), the unlocking processing unit 17c executes the unlocking process of the locking mechanism 15 (step S107).

  After the unlocking process is executed or when the unlocking request has not been received from the intercom terminal 20 (step S106; No), the call processing unit 17a determines whether or not to end the call (step S108). As the call termination condition, any condition such as call termination from the intercom terminal 20 can be used.

  If the call is not terminated (step S108; No), the process proceeds to step S106, where it is determined whether an unlock request has been received. Then, when the call termination condition is satisfied (step S108; Yes), the collective entrance machine 10 ends the process.

  Next, a processing procedure for calling by the intercom terminal 20 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure related to a call by the intercom terminal 20.

In this calling process, a ringing tone is output from the speaker 24 and an image received from the collective entrance 10 is displayed on the display unit 22.

  After the call process, the call response unit 26a determines whether a call operation on the operation unit 21 has been accepted (step S203). If the call operation has not been received (step S203; No), the call response unit 26a determines whether or not to end the call (step S204). An arbitrary condition can be used for determining whether or not the call has ended, such as when a predetermined time has elapsed since the call. When the call is to be ended (step S204; Yes), the intercom terminal 20 ends the process, and repeatedly executes the processing procedure shown in this flowchart as described above. If the call is not terminated (step S204; No), the call response unit 26a proceeds to step S203 and determines whether a call operation on the operation unit 21 has been accepted.

  If a call operation for the operation unit 21 is accepted (step S203; Yes), the call response unit 26a returns a response to the collective entrance 10 and starts a call (step S205). Specifically, audio data collected by the microphone 23 is transmitted to the collective entrance machine 10, and audio data received from the collective entrance machine 10 is output from the speaker 14. Moreover, the display on the display part 22 of the image received from the collective entrance machine 10 continues.

  After the start of the call, the unlock request unit 26b determines whether an unlock operation for the operation unit 21 has been received (step S206). If the unlocking operation with respect to the operation part 21 is received (step S206; Yes), the unlocking request | requirement part 26b will transmit a unlocking request | requirement to the collective entrance machine 10 (step S207).

  After transmitting the unlocking request or when the unlocking operation for the operation unit 21 is not accepted (step S206; No), the registration request unit 26c determines whether or not the registration operation for the operation unit 21 is accepted (step S208). ). If a registration operation for the operation unit 21 is received (step S208; Yes), the registration request unit 26c transmits a registration request to the server 30 (step S209).

  After the registration request is transmitted or when the registration operation for the operation unit 21 is not accepted (step S208; No), the call response unit 26a determines whether or not to end the call (step S210). An arbitrary condition such as a call end operation on the operation unit 21 can be used as the call end condition.

  If the call is not terminated (step S210; No), the process proceeds to step S206, and it is determined whether an unlocking operation for the operation unit 21 is accepted. Then, when the call termination condition is satisfied (step S210; Yes), the intercom terminal 20 ends the process.

  Next, the processing procedure of the server 30 will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the server 30. Note that the processing procedure shown in this flowchart is repeatedly executed by the server 30.

  First, the authentication processing unit 33b of the server 30 detects whether or not a person image is included in the image received from the collective entrance 10 (step S301). For this person detection, any image processing technique such as pattern matching can be used.

  If a person is detected in the image (step S301; Yes), a face image of the detected person is extracted, the face image and the registered person image are collated, and an authentication process is performed (step S302). If this authentication process is successful, that is, if the detected face image of the person matches the registered person image (step S303; Yes), the authentication processing unit 33b updates the authentication history in the storage unit 32 (step S304). ), The unlock request unit 33c transmits an unlock request to the collective entrance machine 10 (step S305).

  If authentication fails after transmission of the unlocking request (step S303; No), or if no person is detected in the image (step S301; No), the registration processing unit 33a issues a registration request from the interphone terminal 20. It is determined whether it has been received (step S306).

  When a registration request is received from the intercom terminal 20 (step S306; Yes), the registration processing unit 33a performs a registration process (step S307). Specifically, the registration processing unit 33a extracts a person's face image from the image received from the collective entrance machine 10, and associates the face image with the room number corresponding to the intercom terminal 20 and stores them in the storage unit 32. To do. Then, after the registration process or when a registration request has not been received (step S306; No), the server 30 ends the process.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, when a visitor is imaged by the camera 12 provided in the collective entrance 10 and the resident performs a registration operation on the interphone terminal 20, the visitor's face is captured. Since the image is registered in the server 30 as a registered person image, and the door 40 is unlocked by the authentication of the server 30 for the registered person thereafter, smooth entrance / exit control of the visitor is efficient. Can be done well.

  In the first embodiment, the case where the registration process is performed when the resident performs the registration operation on the interphone terminal 20 has been described. However, the registration operation may be accepted by the collective entrance 10. In the second embodiment, a case where registration processing is performed by operating the collective entrance 10 will be described. In the second embodiment, a case where a personal number for identifying an individual in addition to a residence number is further associated with a registered person image will be described.

  FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a visitor registration process according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8, when a visitor inputs a residence number and a personal number to the collective entrance 110 and performs a registration operation (1), the collective entrance 110 transmits a registration request to the server 130. To do. Here, it is desirable that the registration operation be an operation capable of confirming that the visitor is a person to be registered, such as using a special key for registration or inputting a personal identification number.

  The server 130 always obtains an image captured by the collective entrance machine 10, and when receiving a registration request from the collective entrance machine 110, obtains an image of a visitor from an image captured by the camera of the collective entrance machine 110. The extracted image is registered in the database as a registered person image.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, since the collective entrance machine 110 can transmit a registration request, a visitor registration process can be performed without an operation by a resident. Since the processing at the time of authentication is the same as that of the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

  Next, an internal configuration of each device in the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an internal configuration of each apparatus according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9, the collective entrance machine 110 is different from the collective entrance machine 10 shown in the first embodiment in that the control unit 17 further includes a registration request unit 17 d. The server 130 is different from the registration processing unit 33a of the server 30 shown in the first embodiment in the operation of the registration processing unit 133a of the control unit 33, and the registered person image and the authentication history stored in the storage unit 132 are the same as those in the first embodiment. Different from the storage unit 32 of the server 30 shown. Since other configurations and operations are the same as those in the first embodiment, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

  The registration request unit 17 d of the entrance hall 110 is a processing unit that transmits a registration request to the server 30 when a predetermined registration operation is performed on the operation unit 11. When the registration processing unit 133a of the server 130 receives a registration request from the registration request unit 17d of the collective entrance 110, the storage unit 132 stores the visitor image captured by the camera 12 of the collective entrance 110 as a registered person image. The process to store in is performed. At this time, the registration processing unit 133a associates the residence number input by the visitor with the registered person image and the personal number.

  Next, information stored in the storage unit 132 illustrated in FIG. 9 will be described. FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram for describing information stored in the storage unit 132 illustrated in FIG. 9. As shown in FIG. 10A, the registered person image is stored in association with the ID. This ID is a combination of a house number and a personal number, and is identification information that uniquely identifies a person.

  Specifically, the registered person image “A001.jpg” is associated with the ID of the house number “101” and the personal number “1”. In this case, the ID is “1011”. Further, the registered person image “A002.jpg” is associated with the ID of the house number “101” and the personal number “2”. In this case, the ID is “1012”. Furthermore, the registered person image “A003.jpg” is associated with the ID of the house number “408” and the personal number “1”. In this case, the ID is “4081”.

  In addition, when using a personal number in this way, it is desirable to assign a personal number when requesting registration from the intercom terminal 20. In this case, the personal number may be specified by the intercom terminal 20 or the personal number may be specified by the collective entrance machine 110.

  FIG. 10B is a specific example of the authentication history. The authentication history is data in which date / time, ID, and location are associated with each other. Specifically, a person with ID “4081” passed through the entrance at “6/28 12:00” and a person matching ID “1022” passed through the entrance at “6/28 12:15”. Show. In this way, by associating an ID for identifying a person with a registered person image, it is possible to manage a person who has passed by ID instead of a registered person image in the authentication history. Since the visit history is the same as that in the first embodiment, the description is omitted.

  Next, a processing procedure of the collective entrance machine 110 in the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure performed by the collective entrance machine 110 according to the second embodiment. The processing procedure of the collective entrance machine 110 is obtained by adding a process related to registration to the processing procedure of the collective entrance machine 10 shown in the first embodiment.

  Specifically, when the operation unit 11 accepts the input of the house number and the pressing of the call button (step S401; Yes), the call processing unit 17a calls the interphone terminal 20 corresponding to the input house number. This is performed (step S402). At the time of this call, the image transmission unit 17b transmits the image captured by the camera 12 to the server 130 and also to the interphone terminal 20 that is the call destination.

  After calling the interphone terminal 20, the call processing unit 17a determines whether or not there is a response from the interphone terminal 20 (step S403). If there is no response from the intercom terminal 20 (step S403; No), the call processing unit 17a determines whether or not to end the call (step S404). An arbitrary condition can be used for determining whether or not the call has ended, such as when a predetermined time has elapsed since the call. If the call is not terminated (step S404; No), the call processing unit 17a proceeds to step S403 and determines whether or not there is a response from the intercom terminal 20.

  If there is a response from the intercom terminal 20 (step S403; Yes), the call processing unit 17a starts a call (step S405). Specifically, the voice data collected by the microphone 13 is transmitted to the intercom terminal 20, and the voice data received from the interphone terminal 20 is output from the speaker 14.

  After the start of the call, the unlock processing unit 17c determines whether or not an unlock request has been received from the intercom terminal 20 (step S406). If the unlocking request is received from the intercom terminal 20 (step S406; Yes), the unlocking processing unit 17c executes the unlocking process of the locking mechanism 15 (step S407).

  After the unlocking process is executed or when the unlocking request is not received from the intercom terminal 20 (step S406; No), the call processing unit 17a determines whether or not to end the call (step S408). As the call termination condition, any condition such as call termination from the intercom terminal 20 can be used. If the call is not terminated (step S408; No), the process proceeds to step S406, where it is determined whether an unlock request has been received.

  When the call is finished (step S408; Yes), when the call is finished (step S404; Yes), or when the call operation is not accepted (step S401; No), the registration request unit 17d registers with the operation unit 11. It is determined whether or not an operation has been accepted (step S409). If a registration operation for the operation unit 11 is received (step S409; Yes), the registration request unit 17d transmits a registration request to the server 130 (step S410).

  After transmitting the registration request or when the registration operation for the operation unit 11 is not accepted (step S409; No), the collective entrance machine 110 ends the process. Note that the processing procedure of the intercom terminal 20 and the processing procedure of the server 130 are the same as those in the first embodiment, and thus description thereof is omitted.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, when a visitor performs a registration operation on the collective entrance 110, the visitor's face image is registered in the server 130 as a registered person image. Since the door 40 is unlocked by the authentication of the server 130 for the registered person, the resident registration operation for the interphone terminal 20 is not necessarily required, and the smooth entrance / exit control of the visitor is efficient. Can be done well. In the second embodiment, since an ID that can identify an individual is associated with a registered person image, the authentication history can be easily managed.

  In the above-described embodiment, a description has been given of an example of a configuration in which a confirmation request for registration availability is displayed when a resident performs a call operation on the intercom terminal 20, but the confirmation display for registration availability is omitted. It is also possible.

  Further, it may be configured such that the registration confirmation display is performed only when the visitor performs a predetermined input in addition to the house number, and the registration operation can be accepted. Here, if it is configured so that registration is possible when a personal number is entered in addition to the residence number, the combination of the entered residence number and personal number can be associated with the registered person image as an ID.

  Further, the registration button is not limited to a physical button, and may be realized by a touch panel. When the registration button is realized by a touch panel and the personal number is entered in addition to the residence number, the registration button is touched only when the personal number is entered in addition to the residence number. It may be displayed on.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the authentication process is automatically executed when a person is detected is described as an example. However, when the visitor inputs an ID to the collective entrance 110, You may comprise so that it may authenticate using the registered person image linked | related with this ID. By configuring in this way, it is possible to reduce the load of the server 130 by reducing the frequency of execution of the authentication process, and it is possible to limit the registered person images used for collation, thereby improving the authentication accuracy. In addition, when a visitor inputs a room number with respect to the collective entrance machine 10, you may comprise so that it may authenticate using the registered person image linked | related with the room number.

  When deleting a registered person image by operating the intercom terminal 20, a room number or ID is designated, and the registered person image associated with the room number or ID is displayed on the display unit 22 and deleted. The selection of the registered person image may be accepted.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the registered person image is generated using the image actually captured by the collective entrance machine 10 or the collective entrance machine 110 has been described. However, past visitor registration is performed by operating the intercom terminal 20. It may be possible. When performing post-registration, the display unit 22 controls the display of the person image of the visitor to the residence corresponding to the interphone terminal 20 from the visit history shown in FIG. Can be accepted.

  Moreover, although the said Example demonstrated the case where a registered person image was produced | generated based on the registration request | requirement from the intercom terminal 20 or the collective entrance 110, about the visitor who was allowed to pass repeatedly by the resident automatically, You may comprise so that it may register.

  In the case of performing automatic registration, the visit history shown in FIG. 4C is stored in association with whether or not the unlocking request has been accepted, and the visit history person images shown in FIG. Collation is performed to group person images that have high similarity and can be regarded as the same person.

  Then, within a predetermined period, a person image of a person who is requested to unlock more than a certain number, that is, a person who is permitted to visit by a resident is newly registered as a registered person image. Here, the number of visits can be counted from the visit date and time of the person images classified into the same group. Moreover, the house number of a visited place is used for the house number at the time of performing automatic registration. Further, when a personal number is added, an unused one of personal numbers that can be set for the visited house number is used. If there is no unused personal number, do not register. Alternatively, a registered person image having a personal number with the lowest use frequency may be deleted and the personal number may be used for automatic registration.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the authentication process is used to permit the unlocking of the door 40 has been described, but the authentication process is used to reject the unlocking of the door 40 and the calling of the intercom terminal 20. Also good. Specifically, a face image of a visitor who wants to refuse future visits is registered as a black list, and even if a call operation is performed for a person corresponding to the black list, the interphone terminal 20 is not called. Configure. The black list may be shared by a plurality of houses. That is, a person who is blacklisted by the intercom terminal 20 of a certain residence is rejected even when a call is made to another residence.

  When the authentication process is used for both unlocking the door 40 and unlocking the door 40 and rejecting the interphone terminal 20 call, either “unlock permission” or “passage suppression” is set at the time of registration. The registration type is designated, and the registered person image is stored in association with the registration type. In this case, the server 30 transmits an unlocking request to the collective entrance 10 (or 110) when the registration process matches the registered person image whose registration type is “permitted unlocking”. If the registered person image matches the registered person image whose registration type is “passage suppression”, a call prohibition request and an unlock prohibition request are transmitted to the collective entrance 10 (or 110).

  Further, in the above embodiment, the intercom system of the apartment house has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the intercom system of the apartment house, and can be applied to other systems such as an office building containing a plurality of offices. It is.

  As described above, the entrance / exit management system and entrance / exit management method according to the present invention are suitable for smooth entrance / exit control of visitors.
