Description

  The present invention relates to an immigration system.

  When passengers pass through borders, etc., passengers need to undergo immigration screening at screening booths installed at borders, airports, and ports. At that time, the immigration officer will conduct a match between the blacklist created in advance and the passenger's personal information for all passengers. If the passenger is determined to be on the blacklist, the immigration officer will conduct a more detailed examination of the passenger.

  As a method for supporting immigration by an examiner at such an examination booth, Patent Document 1 discloses a prior passenger examination system. The prior passenger examination system shown in Patent Document 1 checks the passenger information transmitted from a passenger or a travel agent, etc. against the personal information of the above-mentioned person of caution one by one for all passengers before entering the country. The result is stored in association with the passport number, and at the examination booth, the immigration officer confirms the check result from the passport number read from the passport, thereby speeding up the immigration examination.

JP 2003-271881 A

  In the prior passenger information system disclosed in Patent Document 1 above, all passengers are checked against one person's personal information before entering the country, but even if the blacklist is updated, the passengers are checked. There is no verification check against the information, and the number of tourists who undergo oral examination tends not to decrease because oral examination that requires examination time is matched with the latest blacklist. In addition, although there is an automated gate that can pass through the booth without an oral examination, the use of the automated gate can only be used by travelers who meet certain conditions. There is a problem that travelers who are staying for a short period of time must undergo an oral examination that requires examination time.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide an immigration system that can easily use an automated gate.

  In order to solve the above problems, in the immigration automation of the present invention, the receiving means receives the entry plan information including the personal ID of the prospective entry person, and the biometric information acquisition means is stored based on the personal ID. The biolist information of the prospective immigration person is obtained, the blacklist collating means collates the immigration person with the blacklist information based on the individual ID of the immigration person, and the biometric information reading means detects the immigration person from the prospective immigration person. The biometric information is read, and the biometric matching means verifies the received biometric information with the read biometric information. If the gate is successfully matched with the biometric information and does not correspond to the blacklist information, it is scheduled to enter the country. And a step of permitting the person to enter the country.

  According to the present invention, an automated gate can be easily used, so that it is possible to increase the automated gate utilization rate and to improve the efficiency of immigration.

The term “match” refers to determining whether or not the same person exists.

  FIG. 13 shows the processing flow of the entire immigration system and the flow of travelers.

  Prior to departure, the traveler inputs entry schedule information at the traveler information input terminal 60 and transmits it to the external institution data linkage server 10 (S001). Before the traveler arrives in Japan from his / her departure, he / she matches the prospective immigration information sent by the system with the immigration record database, and if there is matching information, links the biometric information acquired in the past. Perform (S002 to S004).

  Furthermore, the information on the prospective immigration information and the black list are collated, and it is determined whether or not the person is a person corresponding to the black list (S005). If it is not a person corresponding to the black list, data relating to the traveler in the immigration record / biological information matching result database 32 is transmitted to the KIOSK terminal as an automation gate target (S006, S007).

  After arriving in Japan, the traveler performs automated gate use determination processing at the KIOSK terminal, and the determination result is displayed on the screen of the KIOSK terminal 70 (S008, S009). If the automated gate can be used as a result of the determination, the biological information is transmitted from the KIOSK terminal to the automated gate 100. The traveler reads the biological information of the traveler with the biological information reader which is a peripheral device of the automated gate 100. If they match, the traveler is permitted to pass through the automated gate 100 and enters the country (S010).

  FIG. 14 shows a flowchart of the entry schedule information transmission process (S001) input by the traveler.

  The traveler information input terminal 60 accepts entry information such as flight number, departure place, arrival place, departure date / time, arrival date / time and identification items such as passport number, nationality, name, gender, date of birth (S601). ), The input entry schedule information and the identification items are transmitted to the external institution data linkage server 10 (S602).

  The external institution data linkage server 10 stores the immigration plan information and the identification items transmitted in S602 in the immigration information reception database 14 in S101 (S101).

  FIG. 15 shows a flowchart of the process for receiving immigration information (S002 to S007).

  Data stored in the prospective immigration information database managed by the external organization data linkage server 10 is transmitted to the common control device 20 (S102).

  The common control device 20 assigns the ED number to the prospective immigration person in the registration process (S201) of the prospective immigration information database 28, which is transmitted in the prospective immigration information transmission process (S102). Store information.

  Further, in the process of receiving immigration information (S202), automatic gate target determination is performed by the matching process (details will be described with reference to FIG. 17), and the result is stored in the immigration record / biological information matching result database 32 (S203). ).

  Thereafter, the immigration record / biometric information matching result is transmitted to the KIOSK terminal 70 (S204).

  The KIOSK terminal 70 registers the entry / exit record / biometric information match result transmitted in the transmission of the match result (S204) to the KIOSK terminal 70 in the entry / exit record / bioinformation match result database 77 (S701).

  The traveler reads the biometric information of the traveler with a biometric information reader that is a peripheral device of the KIOSK terminal, and matches the biometric information database stored in the KIOSK terminal 70. If the corresponding biometric information exists in the biometric information database 76, the passenger identification number in the immigration record / biometric information matching result database 77 is searched using the passenger identification number of the record as a key, and the automated gate target determination flag of the corresponding record is searched. It is determined whether or not the automated gate can be used (S702), and the result is displayed on the screen in S702. The information to be input can be used alone or in combination with the biometric information instead of the personal ID such as a passport number instead of the biometric information.

  If the automated gate can be used, the biological information of the traveler read by the biological information reading device, which is a peripheral device of the KIOSK terminal 70, is transmitted to the automated gate device (S704).

  By separating the KIOSK terminal and the automated gate device, it can be arranged so that it can be quickly moved to the manned immigration booth when the use of the automated gate is denied, and other people can be eliminated by eliminating the congestion in front of the automated gate device. It is easy to detect the accompanying fraud that passes through the gate with.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing blacklist update processing according to the present invention.

  When the black list database 31 managed by the common control device 20 is updated, the black list and the immigration information are collated (S206). As a result, there is a prospective immigration person corresponding to the black list. For example, the data is stored in the immigration record / biological information processing result database 32 (S207), and the matching result is transmitted to the KIOSK terminal (S208).

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the details of the process at the time of receiving immigration information.

  In the process for receiving immigration information (S202), the immigration information and the immigration record database 29 are collated (S2021), and the immigration record judgment result is determined (S2022). If there is an entry / exit record, the corresponding biometric information is retrieved from the biometric information database 30 (S2023).

  Thereafter, a match between the prospective immigration information and the black list database is performed (S2024), and it is determined whether or not the person is a prospective entry corresponding to the black list. If there is an entry / exit record and biometric information and it does not correspond to the black list, it is determined in the automated gate target determination process (S2025) that the automated gate can be used. If there is no entry / exit record, biometric information, or blacklist, the automated gate target determination process (S2025) determines that the automated gate cannot be used, and the traveler is face-to-face.

  FIG. 18 shows details of the matching process with the black list in the black list update process. When the blacklist database is updated, the blacklist update information and the prospective immigration information are collated (S2061). As a result of the match, the automated gate target flag is updated in the automated gate target determination process (S2062) depending on whether or not it corresponds to the black list.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing an automated gate usage determination process.

  In the traveler biometric information reading process (S7021), the biometric information of the traveler is read and converted into data.

  The read biometric information is matched with the biometric information database 76 (S7022), and a biometric information match determination (S7023) is performed to determine whether there is corresponding information. If there is such information, it is confirmed whether or not the automated gate can be used in the automated gate target determination flag confirmation (S7024).

  When the automated gate can be used, the automated gate 100 compares the biometric information read by the biometric information reader 91 with the biometric information database 76 in which the biometric information of a person who is scheduled to enter the country and can use the automated gate is recorded. If the verification is successful, the entry is permitted for the prospective entry person and the gate flaps are opened. This will allow prospective immigrants to enter the gate. As the recorded biometric information on the automated gate side to be collated, the biometric information read by the KIOSK terminal may be used alone or in combination with the biometric information database 76. Since the biological information is collected immediately before and the state of the biological body is close, it can be expected that collation can be performed quickly and accurately, and if combined with the biological information in the biological information database 76, the effect will be further enhanced.
