Description

Exit management system

    The present invention relates to an exit management system, and more particularly, to an exit management system for a management target (a gate provided in a building, a gate provided on a site, etc.), for example, a managed person living in a nursing facility that provides care for a large number of elderly people. The present invention relates to an exit management system for preventing a person (for example, an elderly person with dementia) from going out from an entrance / exit of a management area (for example, a building) and tricking a place outside the site.

    In Patent Document 1, when an ID reader receives a radio wave transmitted from a non-contact type card and the identification information (personal information or ID information) included in the radio wave matches information recorded in advance, the door is locked. Is unlocked. Communication between non-contact cards (responders) and ID readers (interrogators) regardless of the type of IC card inserted or held in the IC reader or the type of call answering within the radio wave irradiation range. The prior art using the technology is a well-known matter as seen in Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3, Patent Document 4, and the like.

    Therefore, when looking at the subject of the invention of Patent Document 2 and the like, it is "Providing an entry / exit management device capable of predicting the lifetime of a card reader, electric lock, etc. according to the difference in installation environment". Further, the problem of the invention of Patent Document 3 is that even when applied to a system in which a large number of reader / writer devices are arranged adjacent to each other, communication with an IC card type information recording device can be reliably performed. It is to provide a contact-type locking / unlocking control device ”. Further, the problem of the invention of Patent Document 4 is to “provide an entrance management system capable of improving security reliability and releasing a security lock at a plurality of locations without causing the resident to take several steps. Is. Thus, the subject of the invention of each patent document is different.

    By the way, nowadays, it is an aging society, and it is a social reality that people get care for hospitals and nursing homes as they get older. In addition, the older people become, the higher the level of dementia. For example, in a care facility that cares for a large number of elderly people, a managed person (demented elderly person) may go out without knowing and make a fuss. Therefore, in nursing care facilities, etc., an operation button is provided in a place where the manager cannot operate, and when the administrator operates the operation button, an apparatus that opens an automatic door is employed. However, such an automatic door opening gate device based on the operation of the operation button requires a human burden in that the administrator must always be there.

    Currently, caregivers and managers of houses, hospitals, nursing homes, etc., including private housing and collective housing, leave one or more managed persons from the entrance / exit of the management area without burdening the administrator. It is desirable to prevent the user from going out (for example, going out).

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-228988 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-49767 JP 2003-27789 A JP 2012-87462 A

    The main problem of the present invention is that an elderly person with dementia (a person to be managed) who lives in a private house, a housing complex, a care facility that cares for a large number of elderly people, a hospital, etc., goes out of the management area without permission. It is to surely prevent it from coming out. It should be noted that the person to be managed must be confirmed accurately visually, that the person to be managed does not need to have anything other than the responder, and that persons other than the person to be managed can enter and exit as usual (such as locks and electric locks). Other purposes such as being able to use locking devices, restricting going out according to the convenience of the manager, and knowing the specific information of the person being managed by the family are components of the independent claims. In this case, it becomes the main problem of the present invention.

    The exit management system of the present invention is a determination means for determining whether or not at least any one of identification information, biometric authentication information, and form information of a managed person matches the registered information recorded in the storage unit in advance. If the determination means determines that the authentication information and the registration information match or does not match, the prohibition member for prohibiting the operation of the operation portion of the gate lock means is controlled. And an exit control unit. Among these, the preferred embodiment includes an identification information transmitting means possessed by the managed person, an identification information receiving means for receiving the identification information transmitted from the identification information transmitting means, and the identification information receiving means receiving the identification information. The determination means for determining whether or not the identification information and the registration information recorded in the storage unit in advance match, and the determination means is such that the identification information and the registration information match or do not match If any one of these is determined, the exit control part which controls the prohibition member which prohibits operation of the operation part of the locking means for gates is provided.

    In addition, the exit management system of the present invention determines whether or not at least one of identification information, biometric authentication information, and form information of the managed person matches the registered information recorded in the storage unit in advance. And the determination unit determines that the authentication information and the registration information match or do not match, even if the operation part of the gate lock unit is operated, the operation part And an exit control unit that controls the prohibition member so that the operating force is not transmitted to the dead bolt. Among these, the preferred embodiment includes an identification information transmitting means possessed by the managed person, an identification information receiving means for receiving the identification information transmitted from the identification information transmitting means, and the identification information receiving means receiving the identification information. The determination means for determining whether or not the identification information and the registration information recorded in the storage unit in advance match, and the determination means is such that the identification information and the registration information match or do not match When the operation part of the gate lock means is operated, a withdrawal control unit that controls the prohibiting member so that the operation force of the operation part is not transmitted to the dead bolt is provided. (Claim 5).

    Furthermore, the exit management system of the present invention determines whether at least one of identification information, biometric authentication information, and form information of the managed person matches the registered information recorded in the storage unit in advance. If the determination means and the determination means determine whether the authentication information and the registration information match or do not match, the operation part of the electric gate lock means may be operated. And an exit control unit that controls the prohibition member so that the unlock signal does not flow to the control unit and opens the switch circuit. Among these, the preferred embodiment includes an identification information transmitting means possessed by the managed person, an identification information receiving means for receiving the identification information transmitted from the identification information transmitting means, and the identification information receiving means receiving the identification information. The determination means for determining whether or not the identification information and the registration information recorded in the storage unit in advance match, and the determination means is such that the identification information and the registration information match or do not match The exit control that controls the prohibition member and opens the switch circuit so that the unlock signal does not flow to the control unit even if the operation part of the electric gate lock means is operated. It comprises a part (Claim 7).

    In addition, each preferable embodiment described in each independent claim is “pattern A” in which a managed person (for example, an elderly person, a deaf person) has a tag, whereas the managed person has a tag. Since there may be a “pattern B (reverse pattern)”, the exit management system according to the present invention is any one of claims 1, 5, and 7. On the other hand, a user, manager, employee, family, etc. other than the person to be managed possesses the identification information transmission means, and the determination means has the identification information and registration information of the identification information transmission means. If it is determined that they match, the exit control unit performs control so as to release the prohibition state of the prohibition member that prohibits the operation of the operation portion of the gate lock means, while the registration information does not match. Even if it is determined, or the managed person The identification information receiving means does not operate even if it contacts or approaches another information receiving means, and the prohibiting member prohibits the operation of the operating portion of the gate locking means or the operating portion of the gate locking means. Even if the operation is performed, the unlocking signal flows to the control unit even when the prohibiting member is controlled so that the operating force of the operating part is not transmitted to the dead bolt, or when the operating part of the gate locking means is operated. You may make it keep maintaining the state which controls a prohibition member as it is.

    Further, in each of the independent claims of claim 1, claim 5, and claim 7, the precondition that the prohibiting member is locked (locked) or unlocked (unlocked) is not limited. Any aspect may be sufficient.

    In addition, the “identification information”, “identification information transmission unit”, “identification information reception unit”, and “determination unit” of the preferred embodiment of claim 1 and the like are “biometric authentication data”, “biometric authentication data transmission unit”, “ “Biometric authentication reading means” and “Biometric authentication determination means” may be used. Similarly, it may be a so-called numeric keypad (a device capable of unlocking an electric lock without a duck or key by pressing a password on a numeric display panel of 0 to 9). , PIN number receiving means, PIN number determining means).

    Further, the “gate lock means” here is called a general thumb-turn device that operates the thumb-turn knob in the unlocking direction with a finger, an electric thumb-turn that is unlocked based on operation of an operation button, a so-called numeric keypad. An electric lock that is unlocked by a control signal of a so-called electric lock control panel based on an operation (input of a password) of a plurality of operation buttons on the operation panel is included. In addition, the concept of “management area” is as defined in the specification. The gate is preferably a building door.

(A) According to the present invention, a managed person (for example, a demented elderly person) who lives in a private house, an apartment house, a nursing facility for nursing a large number of elderly people, a hospital, or the like has the configuration described in the independent claim. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the user from going outside from the entrance / exit of the management area.
(B) The dependent claim of the present invention can accurately confirm the person to be managed visually. It also has the advantage of being a decision material during the investigation. In particular, when the gate lock means of the exit control unit is an electric thumb turn, the prohibition member can be controlled so that the electric thumb turn is quickly unlocked and the electric thumb turn is not unlocked. Therefore, since the electric thumb turn can be used alone, or with an existing lock, or with a locking device such as an electric lock, a person other than the person to be managed can enter and exit as usual.
(C) In particular, in the invention described in claim 11, the exit control unit is connected to at least identification information receiving means for specifying the managed person, and at least the appearance information acquiring means for specifying the managed person's appearance. Since this is a “joint invention”, the accuracy of authentication increases.
(D) Further, in the invention described in claim 12, any one of the exit control unit, the management terminal, and the upper server sends the specific information to the family terminal via the Internet when the specific information of the managed person is acquired. Having a transmission means for transmitting, so-called business model patent is established, and the family who has acquired the specific information at the family terminal can cooperate with the manager's anti-fouling measures.

Schematic explanatory drawing of 4th Embodiment (The gate lock means prohibits operation of an operation member). In FIG. 13, the lock piece is unlocked, and the operation member can be operated (the operation shaft is rotatable).

(1) Basic concept of the present invention The present invention provides an ID reader as an identification information receiving means provided near a gate (door) or a gate (door) provided in a building. Alternatively, when a transmission radio wave is received from a non-contact type ID storage medium (an ID tag, an ID card, an ID necklace, etc.) as an attached identification information transmission means, the exit control unit determines the received information, and the determination If the result is that it is impossible to go out, the gate lock means provided on the gate (for example, a thumb turn device separate from the lock) is immediately locked, and the gate lock means is released by the person to be managed. The operation part (including the operation shaft) of the gate lock means is not operated so as to prevent the operation.

    Therefore, the managed person must be at least within a certain period of time from the time when the exit control unit determines that he / she cannot go out (within the knowledge of the manager), for example, a dedicated part of a building as an example of a management area Can't go out from the doorway. Therefore, in the present invention, although it is not a limitation requirement of the independent claim, an appropriate form information acquisition means (photographing apparatus) for specifying the form of the person to be managed is provided separately from the ID reader. In addition to being arranged in the vicinity (wall or ceiling), other appropriate human body detection means (foot switch, far-infrared detector) are arranged on the floor surface near the inner wall surface of the gate, and posture information acquisition means (imaging device) ) And other appropriate human body detecting means can be connected to the exit control section by wire or wirelessly.

    The “management area” in this specification refers to a place where a manager who does not have permission to pass is to be kept in a predetermined space of a building or site, for example, at the entrance of the place. Is provided with a gate (door) that allows a person having a passage permission authority to pass therethrough while preventing the person to be managed from passing through the exclusive part.

    Accordingly, specific examples are enumerated as follows (a) to (d), and the gate (door) of the exclusive part is not limited to these, but is comprehensive of the purpose of the invention, the management entity, the use of the building, etc. Judgment is made and determined.

    (A) “Exclusive part in the case of a private house” means the internal space of the building (walls, objects, etc.) including the inner wall surface of the lock-entrance gate with reference to the lock-entrance gate used by the family when going out Including each room, living room, living room as a conversation space, toilet, bathroom, etc. Therefore, although there is no concept of “shared part in the case of a private house”, in accordance with “common part of condominium” and “shared part of nursing care facility”, the site including the outer wall of the entrance gate with the lock (Including walls, objects, etc.) Specifically, it refers to the inside of the cage and the site to the gate.

    (B) “Exclusive part in the case of condominium” means the scope of the exclusive part prescribed in Article 7, Article 7 of the Condominium Standard Management Regulations formulated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in January 2004. This refers to the interior space (including walls, objects, etc.) of the building including the inner wall surface of the entrance gate, which is the same as the specific example of the exclusive part in the case of a private house. Therefore, “community common area” means the range of the second common part in the separate table based on the same standard management regulations. Specifically, the entrance hall of the building, the hallway of the building, the elevator hall of the building, the common Toilets are included.

(C) In a nursing care facility that provides a service, the distinction between “exclusive part” and “shared part” is not clear, and there are various patterns depending on the operation mode of the facility.
When referring to a “living room” where the elderly living in the facility live as the “exclusive part of a nursing care facility”, it refers to the interior space of the room including the inner wall surface of the room gate, and many people when going out When referring to the interior space of the building including the inner wall of the entrance gate, based on the entrance gate to be used, not only each room but also each facility (functional training room, multipurpose hall, living room floor where newspapers and magazines can be read, Health management room, diagnostic room, bathroom, bathroom, conversation space, lobby lounge, etc.).
In the case of the former, “the common part of the nursing care facility” means the managed site including the outer wall of the gate and other “facility” on the basis of the gate coming out of the room. In the latter case, otherwise The inside of the management target site including the outer wall surface of the entrance gate with the entrance gate as a reference.

    (D) When there is a site for the management object, it means the site. In this case, the gate locking means is provided on the gate or the like.

(2) First Embodiment A first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of the exit management system X of the present invention. In FIG. 1, for example, an exit management system X of a dedicated part of a building includes an exit control unit 1 having functions such as a determination unit 1 a and a timer 1 b, and an identification information transmission unit 11 possessed by a manager H. Identification information receiving means for receiving the identification information transmitted from the identification information transmitting means 11 provided at least on either the inner wall of the exclusive part or the inner wall of the entrance gate of the exclusive part (hereinafter referred to as “gate D”) 21, determination means 1 a for determining whether or not the identification information received by the identification information receiving means 21 and the registration information recorded in the storage unit in advance match, and the determination means 1 a includes the identification information and the registration information. Are determined to match (embodiment) or not match, the exit control unit 1 determines that the lock of the gate lock means 31 provided on the gate D is locked. (In the embodiment thumb turn unit) the gate lock means to prevent him (in the embodiment thumb turn knob) operation part 31 for controlling the prohibition member 41 to prohibit the operation of 32. The prohibiting member 41 of the first embodiment locks the thumb turn knob 32 of the thumb turn 31. Reference numeral 51 denotes a management terminal disposed in a place where a manager such as a manager's room or an office exists.

(3) Call between the identification information transmitting unit 11 and the identification information receiving unit 21 FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the identification information transmitting unit 11 and the identification information receiving unit 21. When the identification information transmission unit 11 receives a transmission radio wave in a narrow range (for example, within 2 meters) from the identification information reception unit 21 via a transmission / reception antenna (an LF reception unit in the case of reception), for example, An operating power source is created by the electromotive force induced by the induction electromagnetic field, and the identification information stored in the memory (storage unit) in advance by operating with the power source is transmitted from the transmitting / receiving antenna (RF transmitting unit in the case of transmission). On the other hand, the identification information receiving means 21 transmits a radio wave for operating the identification information transmitting means 11, and receives the identification information transmitted from the identification information transmitting means 11, and outputs it to the exit control unit 1 shown in FIG. To do.

(4) Identification information transmission means 11
The shape of the identification information transmitting means 11 is not a size (for example, a portable terminal) to be held in the hand of the person H to be managed, but clothes such as underwear, outerwear, trousers, or wearing necklaces, belts, bands, etc. It has a flat shape (for example, a card) that can be fixedly attached to the tool. The card-like identification information transmission means 11 of the embodiment is attached so as not to be detached from the outerwear.

(5) Configuration of Identification Information Transmitting Unit 11 The configuration of the identification information transmitting unit 11 on the upper side in FIG. 2 will be described. The identification information transmission means 11 is provided with a transmission / reception antenna 12, a card power supply unit 13, a modem unit 14, a control unit 15, a storage unit 16, and an I / O conversion unit 17. The transmission / reception antenna 12 includes an RF transmission unit including an antenna and an LF reception unit including a coil, and is used for transmission / reception of radio waves. The card power supply unit 13 rectifies an FSK (frequency shift keying) signal received by the transmission / reception antenna 12 to generate a power supply voltage for operating each unit. The modem unit 14 demodulates serial data from the FSK signal received by the transmission / reception antenna 12 and modulates data (identification information) read from the storage unit (ROM) 16 into an FSK signal. The I / O conversion unit 17 converts the serial data from the modulation / demodulation unit 14 into parallel data and outputs the parallel data to the control unit 15, and converts the parallel data from the control unit 15 into serial data and outputs the serial data to the modulation / demodulation unit 14. . The control unit 15 decodes a command from the data-converted received signal, and writes or reads data to or from the storage unit 16. In this case, since the identification information transmitting means 11 is written with at least identification information of a person to be managed (for example, an elderly person with dementia, a deaf person, etc.), the command in normal use is a read command. Based on the above, the identification information is read from the storage unit 16.

(6) Configuration of Identification Information Receiving Unit 21 The lower identification information receiving unit 21 in FIG. 2 has a simple configuration. Of course, the identification information receiving unit 21 is provided with a determining unit (authentication function). Also good. Since the exit control unit 1 described later has a determination unit (authentication function) 1a, the identification information receiving unit 21 of the present embodiment transmits identification information related to the dementia of the managed person to the exit control unit 1. It plays the role of an intermediary device. Since the identification information receiving unit 21 may be provided separately or integrally with the exit control unit 1, the identification information receiving unit 21 does not determine the identification information as in the present embodiment, but the identification information receiving unit 21. Even if the identification information is determined, it is substantially the same.

    The identification information receiving means 21 includes a transmission / reception antenna 22, an amplification / detection unit 23, a signal output I / O conversion unit 24, a signal input I / O conversion unit 28, a modulation unit 25, an oscillation unit 26, and power amplification. A portion 27 is provided. The transmission / reception antenna 22 includes an RF reception unit including an antenna and an LF transmission unit including a coil, and is used for transmission / reception of radio waves. The amplification / detection unit 23 amplifies the FSK signal received by the transmission / reception antenna 12 and demodulates serial data. The I / O conversion unit 24 converts the serial data from the amplification / detection unit 23 into parallel data and outputs the parallel data to the exit control unit 1. The I / O conversion unit 28 converts the parallel data from the exit control unit 1 into serial data and outputs the serial data to the modulation unit 25. The modulation unit 25 performs FSK modulation on the serial data from the I / O conversion unit 28 based on the two signals having the frequencies f1 and f2 from the oscillation unit 26 and outputs the result to the power amplification unit 27. In this case, the modulation unit 25 determines a signal of frequency f1 for the data bit “0” and a signal of frequency f2 for the data bit “1”, and converts the signal to the signals of frequencies f1 and f2 for each data bit. FSK modulation to be converted is performed. A power amplifying unit 27 connected to the power supply unit 29 via an electric wire amplifies the FSK signal from the modulating unit 25 and outputs it to the transmitting / receiving antenna 22. For convenience of explanation, the power supply unit 29 is shown as the identification information receiving unit 21, but in the embodiment, the power supply voltage used in the power amplification unit 27 is supplied from the exit control unit 1.

(7) Configuration / Operation of Exit Control Unit 1 The configuration of the exit control unit 1 shown in FIG. 3 will be described. The exit control unit 1 includes the power supply unit 29, the input / output control unit 2, the control unit 3, the lock unit control unit 4, the data buffer 5, the memory 6, and the transmission IF unit 7 shown in the identification information receiving unit 21, for example, FIG. 1 is connected to the management terminal 51 and the form information income means (monitoring camera) 61 shown in FIG. In addition, although not particularly shown, an alarm sound generation unit is provided.

As described above, the power supply unit 29 outputs the power supply voltage used by the power amplification unit 27 of the identification information receiving unit 21. The input / output control unit 2 controls the output of the power amplification unit 27 by controlling the level of the power supply voltage from the power supply unit 29. The data buffer 5 stores identification information assigned to all managers using the identification information transmitting means 11. In the memory 6, when there are a plurality of exit control units 1, an ID code for identifying each of the exit control units 1 is stored. The transmission IF unit 7 connects the control unit 3 and the management terminal 51 with a line.
The control unit 3 of the exit control unit 1 takes in data from the I / O conversion unit 24, and when the determination unit 1a determines that the data is identification information, the control unit 3 refers to the data buffer 5 and is identical to the identification information. It is determined whether or not information is registered. In the present embodiment, when it is determined that the same information is registered (recorded), the prohibiting member 41 is controlled. In other words, when the determination unit 1a determines that the identification information and the registration information match (embodiment) or does not match, the control unit (CPU) 3 is provided in the gate D. The prohibiting member 41 that prohibits the operation of the operating portion (thumb-turn knob in the embodiment) 32 of the gate-locking means (the thumb-turn device in the embodiment) 31 is controlled so that the locked gate-locking means 31 is not released. . The prohibiting member 41 of the first embodiment locks the thumb turn knob 32 of the thumb turn 31. Then, the control unit 3 of the exit control unit 1 controls the prohibition member 41 and simultaneously starts the timer 1b to count for a certain period of time to maintain the protection state of the prohibition member 41. On the other hand, the control part 3 cancels | releases the defense state of the prohibition member 41, and resets a timer after fixed time progress. At this time, preferably, the defense status and the posture information obtained by the posture information income means (monitoring camera) 61 are sent to the management terminal 51 via the transmission IF unit 7.

    By the way, the control unit 3 controls a warning sound generation unit (not shown) to generate a warning sound and sends warning information to the management terminal 51 at any appropriate time after or before the timer is reset. In the embodiment, any one of the exit control unit 1, the management terminal 51, and the upper server 9 transmits the specific information to the family terminal 10 via the Internet 8 when the specific information of the managed person H is acquired. Since it has a transmission means, a so-called business model patent is established, and the family and the like who have acquired the specific information at the family terminal 10 can cooperate with the manager's countermeasures to prevent wrinkles (see FIGS. 1 and 3).

(8) Configuration of Gate Locking Unit 31 and Others FIGS. 4 to 6 are schematic explanatory views of the gate locking unit 31 and the prohibiting member 41 of the first embodiment. Referring to FIG. 4, the gate locking means 31 is a manual thumb-turn device, while the prohibiting member 41 is an actuator such as a drive motor or a solenoid. FIG. 5 shows a “solenoid” as an example of the prohibiting member 41 of the first embodiment, but a drive motor may of course be employed as appropriate. As is well known, when the solenoid 41 is energized or de-energized, the operating rod 42 extends. Therefore, in the embodiment, the distal end portion of the operating rod 42 of the solenoid 41 is formed in, for example, a bullet shape or a tapered shape, and on the other hand, the outer peripheral surface of the thumb turn shaft 33 facing the tapered distal end portion of the operating rod 42 is wedge-shaped or An engagement groove 34 such as a substantially V-shape or a substantially U-shape is formed. FIG. 6 shows that, for example, the operating rod 42 of the solenoid 41 extends when energized, and the tapered tip end portion 42 a engages with the engaging groove 34 of the thumb turn shaft 33. As a result, the outer end of the thumb turn shaft 33 is engaged. It is a schematic explanatory drawing which shows that the rotation of the operation part 32 integrally provided in the part was prevented. When the rotation of the operation portion 32 is prevented by the operation of the prohibiting member 41, naturally the non-circular or polygonal fitting portion 33a does not rotate, so that the cam (thumbturn dharma) 35 does not rotate in the unlocking direction. . Therefore, the dead bolt 36 shown in FIG. 4 does not move (still locked).

(9) Flowchart Showing Operation of Exit Control Unit 1 FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing operation of the exit control unit 1. Since the gate locking means 31 of the embodiment is a manual thumb turn device, an administrator (not shown) operates the operation portion 32 of the thumb turn device in advance to lock the dead bolt. Of course, in the case of an electric thumb turn, the operation button is operated to lock the dead halt.

    The gate lock means may be in an “unlocked state” when 31 is an electric lock. In such a case, the exit control unit locks the gate lock means (electric lock 31). At the same time, the prohibition member is controlled so that the gate lock means is not unlocked.

    Therefore, first, in step S10, the determination unit 1a of the control unit 3 determines whether or not the identification information receiving unit 21 has received the identification information of the identification information transmitting unit 11. In this determination, if it is determined that the identification information is not received, this step is repeated. If the identification information is received, the process proceeds to step S12, and it is determined whether or not the identification information matches the registered one. In the present embodiment, when the identification information and the registration information match, in the present embodiment, when the information does not match (for example, when the ID information held by all members of the family does not match the ID information of the parent ID of the family member) ) Is a design change example.

    If it is determined in the above determination that it is not already registered, the process proceeds to step S32 described later. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is already registered, the timer is started in step S14. After starting the timer, the prohibiting member 41 is operated in step S16. Since the gate locking means 31 of the embodiment is either an electric or manual (this embodiment) thumb-turn device, the control unit 3 of the exit control unit 1 energizes or deenergizes a solenoid as an example of an actuator. Elongate its working rod. The tip of the solenoid actuating rod is formed, for example, in a bullet shape or a tapered shape. For example, a wedge shape or a substantially V or U shape formed at an appropriate location on the outer peripheral surface of the thumb turn shaft constituting the thumb turn device. A bullet-shaped tip portion engages with an engaging groove such as a pin, and rotation of the operation portion (thumbnail knob) 32 provided at the outer end portion of the thumb-turn shaft is prevented.

    Next, in step S16, after the thumb turn device 31 is prevented from being actuated by the prohibiting member 41, it is determined in step S18 whether or not the posture information acquisition means 61 has been actuated. In this determination, if it is determined that the form information acquisition means 61 is not operating, it is determined whether or not a certain time has elapsed since the timer was started in step S20, and if it is determined that the certain time has not elapsed. Returning to step S18, if it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S30. In this case, in this embodiment, on the condition that a certain time (for example, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, etc.) has passed, the prohibited member is returned to the initial state, or if the prohibited member is in the initial state, the non-blocking state is maintained as it is. To do.

    On the other hand, when the determination unit 1a confirms the operation of the posture information acquisition unit 61, the posture information is sent to the control unit 3 in step S22, and the control unit 3 registers the posture information in the data buffer 5. At that time, it is desirable to use a face authentication device as described in, for example, Japanese Patent No. 4460265 and Japanese Patent No. 4981700. Needless to say, the photographic data itself may be stored in a file device (not shown) as in the case of a digital camera that is widely used. Preferably, the determination means 1a stores the posture information in the data buffer 5 or the file device, and then transmits the posture information of the managed person to the management terminal 51 shown in FIG. In step S24, the timer is reset.

    After resetting the timer in step S24, the determination means 1a checks again in step S26 whether or not the prohibiting member 41 has been operated. If it is determined in this determination that the prohibiting member 41 has not been operated, On the other hand, if it is determined that the prohibiting member 41 has been operated, an alarm is output in step S28 and the management terminal 51 is notified accordingly. Then, it returns to step S10. Returning to step 30, when the locking means is unlocked, that is, when the prohibiting member 41 is in the initial state, the person to be managed H estimates that the person is away from the radio wave irradiation range. The information away from the inner wall surface is output, the timer is reset in step S34, and the process returns to step S10. In each of the above steps, the order may be changed as long as the object of the invention can be achieved.

    As described above, in the first embodiment, when the identification information receiving means (ID reading device) 21 receives the transmission radio wave from the identification information transmitting means (noncontact card possessed by the manager) 11. Thus, it is determined whether or not the registration information matches, and the operation of the operation part (the operation member including the operation shaft and the power transmission unit) for the gate lock unit 31 is blocked. The pose information including face image information of who the person is is acquired by the pose information acquisition means 61, so that it is possible to prevent the manager from going out of the building's exclusive part and being fooled. . In addition, by adding the figure information acquisition means 61, it is possible to visually discriminate the managed person even more accurately. For example, if the managed person comes to a person in the exclusive part of the building, for example, Can quickly search the vicinity by using the pose information including the face image information obtained by the pose information acquisition means 61.

By the way, the form information acquisition means 61 takes a photograph of the “face” and “form” of the managed person with a camera (not shown) and stores the managed person in the storage unit as described in, for example, Japanese Patent No. 4460265. The feature authentication means for matching the dictionary image relating to the feature points of “face” and “appearance” with the “appearance information” acquired by the appearance information acquisition means 61 is a specific requirement of the invention (in other words, “face” or “ The feature of “appearance” is regarded as identification information such as ID).
Here, in the present embodiment, the posture authentication means is not necessarily a limiting requirement of the invention, but if the configuration of the posture authentication means (the posture information acquisition means) is also added to the configuration of the identification information receiving means 21, the following Street.

    The form information acquisition means, for example, based on the person detection means provided in the exclusive part to detect the managed person H in a predetermined area of the exclusive part as an example of the management area, and the detection signal of the person detection means, The posture information (image information) acquired by the posture information acquisition unit is transmitted to the exit control unit 1, including a digital camera that takes a picture of the “face” and “figure” of the manager. The determination (collation) means 1a of the exit control unit 1 stores the appearance information (image information) acquired by the appearance information acquisition means and the features of the face and appearance in the appearance database (image storage unit) 5 in advance as identification information such as an ID. It is determined whether or not the recorded registration information matches. If it is determined whether the appearance information and registration information match (A pattern) or do not match (B pattern), the information is processed as shown in FIG. In a specific embodiment, the form information acquisition unit includes a face / form region extracting unit (not shown), and the face / form region extracting unit is a raw still image captured by the image input / output unit. The feature point extraction unit, which is one function of the exit control unit 1, generates the extraction information of the appearance by cutting out the “face” and “appearance” of the manager H who hesitates from the (embodiment) and the moving image, For example, feature point information (image information) such as the position of the eyes and nose on the face part, height, physique, and clothes is generated from the extracted information of the appearance and is passed to the determination (collation) means 1a. The determination (collation) means 1a compares (collates) the registration information of the managed person H registered in the image storage unit in the storage unit 5 with the feature point information, and if the appearance information matches the registration information. If it is (A pattern in which the identifier is registered), the prohibiting member 32 is immediately controlled to the locked state or the like. In this case, a reverse pattern (B pattern in which no identifier is registered) may be used. Desirably, identification information (“ID” / “face” / “appearance” of the person to be managed H) that can identify the person to be managed H is transmitted as determination information to the management terminal 51 or the like via the transmission means. To do.

Other embodiments

    In describing other embodiments, the same portions as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

(10) Second Embodiment FIGS. 8 and 9 are schematic explanatory views of a prohibiting member 41 and a thumb-turn device 31 according to a second embodiment. The second embodiment is mainly different from the first embodiment in that even if the exit control unit 1 operates the operation part 32 of the gate locking means 31, the operation force of the operation part 32 is the dead bolt 36. The prohibiting member 41 is controlled so as not to be transmitted. Although details of the embodiment are omitted, as shown in FIG. 8, an unnumbered urging spring is wound around the thumb turn shaft 33, and the urging spring has a cam ( It is always energized so that it fits in the square shaft fitting hole 33a of the thumb turn dharma) 35. The thumb turn shaft 33 is provided with a pan-like cam portion that is pushed by an operating rod (pressing member) 42 of a prohibiting member (solenoid) 41. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, when the operating rod 42 of the prohibiting member 41 is extended as indicated by an arrow, the thumb turn shaft 33 is displaced in the direction of the arrow and is disengaged from the angular shaft fitting hole 33a. Therefore, even if the managed person operates the operation portion 32, the thumb turn shaft 33 is idled.

By the way, in the case of this third embodiment, the thumb turn device 31 is a specific requirement of the invention, so the determination means of the control unit 3 determines the presence or absence of an unlocking signal flowing from the electric thumb turn 31 via the signal line 44. To do. Therefore, even if the switch circuit (for example, the reed switch) 45 is in the open state, the prohibition member 41 is controlled so that it is not transmitted to the dead bolt 36.

    In the third embodiment, the electric thumb turn 31 is shown as an example of the gate locking means. However, the gate locking means is not limited to the electric thumb turn 31 as a matter of course. A logic circuit such as an AND circuit can be used in place of the reed switch 45. In addition, although it can be locked and unlocked even with a thumb turn from inside the room, what is called a “so-called electric lock” that can be operated electrically by remote control is also included.

(12) Fourth Embodiment FIG. 13 is a schematic explanatory diagram of a fourth embodiment (prohibiting operation of the operation member). FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram (the operation shaft is rotatable) in which the lock member 78 is unlocked (locked) and the operation member can be operated. Although the operation member is not shown in FIG. 13, the operation shaft 73 of this operation member includes, for example, a thumb turn shaft, a handle shaft, and the like.

    In FIG. 13, 71 is a lock box, 72 is a dead latch, 73 is an angular operation shaft that cooperates with the operation member, 74 is fitted to the operation shaft, and the power of the operation shaft ( A drive cam that is rotated by the operation force of the operation member), 75 is a retractor that engages the rear end of the drive cam 74 and the dead latch 72, and 76 is electrically connected to a retraction control unit (not shown). A solenoid as a driving source, 77 is a rotating body that rotates by a predetermined angle in response to the driving force of the solenoid 76, and 78 is a lock piece that engages with the rotating body.

More specifically, the dead latch 72 includes a latch bolt body 72a, a hook-like portion 72b connected to the rear end portion of the latch bolt main body 72a, and an engagement provided at the rear end portion of the hook-like portion 72b. It consists of an end 72 c and is supported by a guide support plate 80 fixed to the lock box 71. The dead latch 72 is urged in the direction in which it always projects by the spring force of the latch spring 81 existing between the guide support plate 80 and the latch bolt body 72a.
The retractor 75 has one end portion (lower end portion) rotatably supported by a support shaft 82, and extends from the one end portion in a direction of the bowl-shaped portion 72b from a continuous portion formed in a U-shape. The other end portion (upper end portion) is engaged with the engagement end portion 72c.

    The drive cam 74 has two engaging portions protruding radially outward from the annular portion, and the wide first engaging portion 74a on the right side of the drawing is located inside the U-shaped continuous portion of the retractor 75. On the other hand, the bifurcated second engaging portion 74b on the left side of the drawing is engaged with the lock piece 78 during locking.

    The rotating body 77 is pivotally supported by a horizontal shaft and has two engaging portions protruding radially outward from the cylindrical shaft portion 77a. The bifurcated first engaging portion on the right side of the drawing. 77b is engaged with an unnumbered engagement pin of the lock piece 78 with a margin, while the finger-like second engagement portion 77c bent in a U-shape on the left side of the drawing is an operating rod 76a of the solenoid 76. Is engaged with the engaging end of the swing arm 84 linked to the. An intermediate portion of the swing arm 84 is pivotally supported on a support shaft 85.

    Therefore, in the fourth embodiment, the components that prohibit the operation of the operation member are the drive source 76, the swing member 84 that swings by the driving force of the drive source 76, and the link with the swing member 84. The rotating member 77 is pivotally supported in such a manner, and the lock piece 78 is engaged with and disengaged from the driving cam 74 which is linked to the rotating member 77 and cooperates with the operation shaft 73.

(13) Other Matters concerning Specific Requirements In the embodiment, it has been described that the gate locking means 31 is a thumb turn device. However, for example, the gate locking means is for an empty lock. The latch member may be locked in a locked state so that the handle cannot be operated. Also in this embodiment, for example, the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 is used, and the thumb turn shaft 33 becomes the “handle shaft”. In addition, the exit control unit of the embodiment can set a unit time of the night time zone (for example, PM 9 o'clock to AM 6 o'clock) so as to prevent the gate lock means from being unlocked.

    Although not specifically shown, in order to avoid the embodiment of the present invention, for example, the managed person does not have the identification information transmitting means, while the user other than the managed person, the administrator, the employee, the family, etc. When the passerby possesses the identification information transmission means, and the determination means determines that the identification information of the identification information transmission means and the registration information match or do not match, exit control is performed. The control unit is configured to release the prohibition state of the prohibition member that prohibits the operation of the operation part of the gate lock unit. On the other hand, even if the managed person contacts or approaches the identification information reception unit, the identification information reception is performed. The means does not operate, and even if the prohibiting member prohibits the operation of the operation part of the gate lock means or the operation part of the gate lock means is operated, the operation force of the operation part is transmitted to the dead bolt. Shi The state where the prohibiting member is controlled, or the state where the prohibiting member is controlled so that the unlocking signal does not flow to the control unit is maintained even if the operation part of the gate lock means is operated. However, the object and effect of the invention can be achieved (substantial identity).

(14) Matters not related to specific requirements Although it is not an essential matter of the present invention, to add it just in case, the identification information transmitting means 11, the identification information receiving means 12, the exit control unit, etc. of the specific requirements are respectively separate units. It may be configured (for example, the identification information receiving means 12 and the exit control unit are physically separated), or may be a single unit.

    In addition, regarding the items that the exit control sets the unit time of the night time zone and controls so that the lock means for the gate is not unlocked, the input conditions for the go-out restriction are manual switch, automatic switch, authentication type switch, etc. Either may be sufficient. Here, if an explanation is given a little with “automatic switch” as an example, for example, the operation flag is raised (necessary) at 22:00, so that the gate locking means is not unlocked. The flag is set to “No”, and it is configured to return to the initial state in which the lock of the gate locking means can be unlocked.

    Further, regarding the release of the above-mentioned restriction on going-out, any one of the release commands (signal for unlocking the gate lock means) in the case of an emergency such as a fire or an earthquake, manual, automatic, management terminal 51, host server 9, etc. Thus, when the exit control unit 1 receives the release command, the gate of the management area may be freely opened.

    In addition, when the determination (authentication) means can identify the managed person, the storage unit such as the leaving control unit 1 and the management terminal 51 may store the managed person's leaving history. .

(15) Other supplementary items In the section of “Means for Solving the Problems”, it has been explained that the identification information may be biometric authentication information. The biometric authentication reading means may be used for (AND) together with the identification information receiving means 21 shown in FIG. 1 or the like, but when used alone (OR) instead of the identification information receiving means 21, for example, a fingerprint reader, Any one of a palm print reader, a glow pattern reader, a face contour reader, a voice print reader, a vein reader, etc., or an arbitrary combination of two or more thereof is used. In this embodiment, existing fingerprint readers, palm print readers, glow pattern readers, facial contour readers, voice print readers, and vein readers are used for the biometric reading means 21.

    Therefore, for example, taking a fingerprint reader as an example, the biometric authentication information of the managed person H is a fingerprint pattern (gene information). Therefore, if the managed person H or the administrator presses the fingertip against the fingerprint reader, the fingerprint reader reads the fingerprint pattern, and the determination means (verification means) 1a matches the registered biometric data. If the fingerprint pattern matches the registered biometric data (A pattern in which the identifier is registered), the prohibition member 32 is immediately controlled to the locked state or the like. In this case, a reverse pattern (B pattern in which no identifier is registered) may be used. In the first and second embodiments of the prohibiting member, the prohibiting member may be on the thumb turn device side or on the lock side. Further, the operation shaft and the drive cam for driving the deadbolt may basically be in a relationship in which the operation force is transmitted directly or indirectly.

    The present invention can be used in a house, an apartment house, a care facility, a hospital, or the like where a manager to be hesitant exists.
