(1) Description of Overall Configuration An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings, taking application to a hotel as an example. First, in FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a hotel front, and a lock 5 at the entrance / exit of each room R where a guest U (hereinafter referred to as “user”) stays and a power source 6 for the room are placed at appropriate locations on the front 1. There is provided an unlocking code issuing unit 2 for issuing an unlocking code for turning on (herein referred to as “ID”. This ID includes usable time information). This unlocking code issuing unit 2 is connected to the communication network 3, and when the user U is surely specified, for example, to the terminal (communication terminal) 4 possessed by the user U via the communication network 3. It can be transmitted in advance. The unlocking code issuing unit 2 has a lock terminal key having a blade as in the second embodiment described later (if the electric lock has a cylinder lock, the blade is inserted into the keyhole of the cylinder lock to A key that can be unlocked automatically) to the user U.

  The unlocking code issuing unit 2 is connected to a center processing unit 7 installed at an arbitrary place (for example, an office room) in the hotel. In the embodiment, instead of the “card key” as in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the terminal 4 acquires an ID from the unlock code issuing unit 2 on the hotel side where the user U stays, and the terminal 4 controls the lock control device. When the wireless communication is established between the terminal 4 and the lock control device 12, the lock control device 12 is connected to the terminal 4 from the terminal 4. The ID is acquired through the wireless communication and an authentication process is performed.

  Therefore, when the lock 5 is key information for unlocking a so-called electric lock attached to the free end of the door 11 of each room R of the hotel, the lock control device 12 3, the terminal communication unit 13 having the function of “BLE”, the lock control unit 14, the storage unit 15 and the like are included.

  In addition, a room control device 21 is provided at an appropriate location inside each room R of the hotel (for example, a wall near the door, a desk, a floor surface of the room, etc.), and the room control device 21 is shown in FIG. In addition, the terminal has a “BLE” terminal communication unit 22, a switch control unit 23, a storage unit 24, and the like that receive radio waves for turning on the use start switch.

  Next, FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a main part of the terminal 4. In FIG. 2, a terminal 4 includes, for example, a key radio wave transmission / reception unit 31 having a “BLE” function, a control unit 32, a storage unit 33 storing key information, an authentication unit 34, an output unit 35, and a touch panel system. A user input unit 36, a communication / data communication transmitting / receiving unit 37, and the like.

  As is well known, the output unit 35, the control unit 32, and the user input unit 36 are portions that provide an output function, a control function (including a security lock function), and a user input function in the terminal 4, respectively. . The call / data communication transmitting / receiving unit 37 is a part that performs transmission / reception of main communication such as a call and data communication in the terminal 4.

  On the other hand, the key radio wave transmission / reception unit 31 having the “BLE” function is a part that performs transmission / reception of short-distance radio waves such as Bluetooth optimal for power saving. The terminal 4 can perform power-saving short-distance communication with the lock control device 12 using the key radio wave transmission / reception unit 31 in the radio wave range outside the lock (near the outer wall surface of the door 11 in the room R). Further, the authentication unit 34 is, for example, unique identification information of the terminal 4, a terminal key for lock that the user U has or wears (for example, a terminal key having a function of “BLE” scheduled to be sold in the near future by the applicant) Authentication information, whether the ID acquired from the unlocking code issuing unit 2 on the accommodation facility side is genuine or not, is authenticated using only the identification information in the storage unit 33, the ID temporarily acquired from the hotel, etc. It is a part to do. Note that the authentication unit 34 has a function of performing, for example, password authentication or biometric authentication (authentication related to a human body such as a fingerprint or a voice print).

  Next, FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a main part of the lock control device 12. In FIG. 3, the lock control device 12 includes the terminal communication unit 13 having the function of “BLE”, the lock control unit 14, the storage unit 15 as well as the authentication unit 16 as described above. The lock control unit 14 outputs a drive signal to the drive signal output unit 17 to unlock or lock the electric lock 5. Although not particularly illustrated, in some embodiments, the lock control unit 14 controls the automatic door opening and closing device via the drive signal output unit 17.

  Accordingly, the terminal communication unit 13 includes a BLE transmission / reception unit 13a that receives the ID output from the terminal 4, an amplification / detection unit 13b that amplifies / detects the high frequency obtained by the BLE transmission / reception unit, and the amplification / detection. The reception information demodulated by the unit 13b is converted into predetermined codes of “1” and “0” and output by a 1/0 conversion unit 13c. Further, the lock control unit 14 is disposed, for example, on any one of the wall surface of the room R, the door 11 of the doorway, the inside of the lock box, and the like.

  The storage unit 15 includes a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM (not shown). A program for controlling the CPU, a manufacturing number, a terminal number, and an ID issued by the unlocking code issuing unit 2 are specified in the ROM. Registration information to be registered, lock / unlock log information, and the like are stored. Further, the authentication unit 16 compares and determines whether or not the reception information (for example, ID) obtained from the 1/0 conversion unit 13c is registered in advance, and determines that the received information is registered. The control unit 14 controls the unlocking and locking of the electric lock 5.

  In some embodiments, the lock control unit 14 outputs the room number, locking / unlocking log information, etc. to the center processing unit 7 shown in FIG. To do.

  Next, FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a main part of the room control device 21. In FIG. 4, as described above, the room control device 21 includes the “BLE” terminal communication unit 22, the control unit 23, the storage unit (stores ID and the like) 24, the authentication unit 25, and the time measuring unit. 28 etc. are provided. The room control device 21 is connected to an electric device 27 such as an electric lamp 27a, an air conditioner 27b, and a television 27c.

  Thus, the room control device 21 is configured such that when the terminal 4 exists at least in the room R and power-saving short-range communication is established between the terminal 4 and the room control device 21, the room control device 21 The control unit 23 of the control device 21 controls the use start switch 26 to be in an “on” state.

  Therefore, in the prior arts of Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the card holder includes a micro switch as a use start switch in the lower part of the internal space of the case, and the micro switch or the like operates the lighting control unit. Therefore, the present embodiment is significantly different from the present embodiment.

  In other words, after the user U holds the terminal 4 and unlocks the electric lock 5, the user opens the door 11 of the room R, enters the room R, and enters a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds, 8 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds). Etc.), the controller 23 of the room control device 21 controls the use start switch 26 to be in the “on” state.

  Therefore, the control unit 23 of the room control device 21 includes an electric element that processes a signal through a wireless interface, includes a necessary CPU, software, a storage unit 24, and an authentication unit 25, and further outputs not shown. One or more microswitches including the relays on the side and physically separate from the electrical elements are not included. The electric device 27 is appropriately connected to the power source 6. In Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, a card holder having a card insertion slot is fixed in a vertical state to an indoor wall near the entrance of the room, but the embodiment does not positively exclude the card holder. The card holder may or may not be present (not a specific requirement of the present invention).

  Next, the processing order of the main part of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5A is a schematic explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the lock control device 12 and the terminal 4 possessed by the user U, and FIG. 5B is a terminal possessed by the room control device 21 and the user U. 4 is a schematic explanatory diagram showing a relationship with FIG.

  In FIG. 5A, the user U is on the way to a room (for example, a private room) R where he / she stays by receiving an ID from the front 2. The user U temporarily stores the ID in the storage unit 33 of the terminal 4. The ID includes conditions for staying (date, time, room number, etc.). The terminal communication unit 22 of the room control device 21 sends radio waves within the range of the “BLE” standard. 5A, for example, it is assumed that the room control device 21 is installed on the floor surface F, and a range drawn in a substantially arc shape centering on the room control device 21 is a communication range (radio wave range). Assume. The communication range depends on the size of the room R, but it is assumed that the room R is wide and there are places outside the communication range even in the room R, while radio waves are flowing to the vicinity of the outer wall surface 11a of the door 11. To do. In the embodiment, radio waves flow to the vicinity of the outer wall surface 11a of the door 11, but this is not necessary. That is, FIG. 5A is for convenience of explanation.

  When the user U has the terminal 4 and reaches the vicinity of the outer wall surface 11a of the door 11 in his / her room R, the terminal 4 receives the BLE transmission / reception unit 13a of the terminal communication unit 13 of the lock control device 12 as “BLE”. ”Is within the communication range (radio wave range). The processing order at that time is, for example, as shown in FIG. The processing order for unlocking the electric lock is not a specific matter of the present invention and will be described later.

  FIG. 5B shows communication between the lock control device 12 and the terminal 4, the electric lock 5 is unlocked, the door 11 is opened, and the user U is in the room R while holding the terminal 4. Indicates where you entered (currently progressive). If the user U enters the room R and enters the radio wave range of the room control device 21 within a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds), the control unit 23 of the room control device 21 uses the use start switch 26. Is turned on, the electric lamp 27a is turned on, and the air conditioner 27b and the like can be used.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the terminal 4 exists at least in the room R given to itself, and the terminal 4 and the room control device 21 disposed at an appropriate location in the room R. When the power-saving short-range communication is established, the control unit 23 of the room control device 21 controls the use start switch 26 to be in the “on” state.

  Next, (a) of FIG. 6 is a schematic explanatory diagram showing the switch ON state even when the terminal 4 is turned off, and FIG. 6 (b) shows, for example, that the user U stays in a relatively large room R. That is, the case where the terminal 4 is placed outside the communication area where the radio waves of the room control device 21 cannot reach although it is in the large room R is shown. Even in such a situation, in the embodiment, the shop control device 21 maintains the use start switch 26 in the ON state. On the other hand, FIG. 7 shows a condition in which the switch ON state of FIGS. 6A and 6B cannot be maintained, and is treated as “absent” from “resident”.

  Therefore, the room control device 21 acquires a state change signal related to the unlocking or locking of the lock 5 from the lock control device 12 after the use start switch 26 is in the “ON” state, and When power saving near field communication is not established with the room control device 21, the use start switch 26 is controlled to be in an “off” state.

  In other words, the terminal 4 having the BLE transmission / reception unit 31 does not communicate with the terminal communication unit 22 of the BLE of the room control device 21 on the condition that it is considered as “absence” from “in-room”, and When the lock / unlock state of the lock changes due to the communication between the terminal communication unit 13 of the lock control device 12 and the terminal, or when the lock is manually / electrically operated, When the lock / unlock state of the lock changes due to “lock-unlock-lock” or the like (by satisfying the so-called “AND condition”), the power supply 6 is not supplied to the electrical device 27.

  As described above, in the present invention, as an embodiment, after the use start switch 26 is in the “on” state, the room control device 21 unlocks the lock 5 from the lock control device 12 by wire or wirelessly. When a state change signal related to locking or locking is acquired and power saving near field communication between the terminal 4 and the room control device 21 is not established within a predetermined time, a use start switch 26 is controlled to be in the “off” state.

  Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a processing order between the terminal 4 and the lock control device 12. FIG. 8 shows that the terminal 4 exists in the upper part of the drawing, and when the user U holding the terminal 4 approaches the door 11, the user enters the wireless range Y of the lock control device 12 in the lower part of the drawing.

  First, it is assumed that the terminal 4 is already turned on when going to the front of the hotel. As is well known, the terminal 4 enters a sleep state after a predetermined time even when the power is on. In addition, the security lock is applied by its own control unit 32 (step S1). Since the terminal 4 is appropriately security-locked so as not to be used by others without permission, the authorized user U can unlock the security lock at any time by authenticating a password, fingerprint, retina, or the like.

  Here, before the authorized user U unlocks the security lock by his / her own intention, the terminal 4 searches for its own pair (the lock control device 12) in a state where the security lock is applied (step S2), that is, communication Is started (step S3).

  If wireless (communication) is not established between the terminal 4 and the lock control device 12, the terminal 4 remains in a security lock, and at least others cannot unlock the security lock. Therefore, when the user U walks in the direction of the door 11 of the accommodation room below the drawing, the terminal 4 enters the wireless zone Y, and communication with the lock control device 12 can be established. The terminal 4 automatically unlocks its own security lock (step S4). As a result, the terminal 4 enters a normal use state (step S5).

  Therefore, “response” is performed between the interrogator of the lock control device 12 and the responder of the terminal 4 (step S6). As a result of authentication, if the response (ID) from the terminal 4 is legitimate identification information, authentication is established (step S7). The lock control device 12 unlocks the electric lock 5 (step S8). Note that the flowchart of FIG. 8 is a subordinate matter of the present invention.

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a processing sequence when the room control device 21 supplies power to the electrical device 27. As described with reference to FIG. 5B, communication is exchanged between the lock control device 12 and the terminal 4, and the electric lock 5 is unlocked (S1). Accordingly, the user U opens the room door 11 and enters the room R while holding the terminal 4. Next, whether or not the terminal 4 has entered the radio wave range Z of the terminal communication unit 22 of the room control device 21 within a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, etc.) after the electric lock 5 is unlocked. It is determined (S2). If communication is established between the room control device 21 and the terminal 4 within the predetermined time (S3), an ID is transmitted from the terminal 4 to the room control device 21 (S4). In the embodiment, the authentication unit 25 of the room control device 21 compares and authenticates the ID and the ID of the storage unit 23 (S5). As a result, if the authentication is established, the control unit 23 of the room control device 21 controls the use start switch 26 to be in the “ON” state (S6). Therefore, the electric lamp 27a is turned on, and the air conditioner 27b and the like can be used.

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a processing sequence when the room control device 21 does not supply power to the electrical device 27. As described with reference to FIG. 9, the use start switch 26 is in the “ON” state, and power is being supplied to the electrical device 27. In the embodiment, as described with reference to FIGS. 6A and 6B, the use start switch 26 is not in the “OFF” state unless the “AND condition” is satisfied. Therefore, the flowchart of FIG.

  The room control device 21 monitors the lock control device 12 after the use start switch 26 is turned on, and the lock control device 12 unlocks or locks the lock 5. It is determined whether or not a state change signal has been acquired for (S11).

  In general, when the user U opens the door 11 of the hotel room R and goes outside, for example, when the thumb turn of the lock 5 of the door 11 is turned to unlock, the user operates the door handle of the door 11. In some cases, the door 11 is automatically locked when the door 11 is opened and then the door 11 is closed.

  Therefore, the room control device 21 first acquires a “lock state signal” for the unlocked or locked signal of the lock 5 from the lock control device 12 (S11). Next, a signal indicating that communication with the terminal 4 is not established within a predetermined time (for example, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, etc.) is acquired from the lock control device 12 (S12). Therefore, since the room control device 21 satisfies the “AND condition”, the use switch 27 is turned “OFF” (S13). As a result, the electric device 27a is turned off.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the description of the second embodiment, the same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same or similar reference numerals, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

  The main difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is a communication terminal (terminal) 4A. FIG. 11 is a schematic explanatory diagram showing the overall configuration of the system X1 showing the second embodiment, but the terminal owned by the user U is not the thing owned by itself, but the accommodation facility side has the ownership, The lock terminal key 4A having the blade 42 is a thing handed over to the user U by the accommodation facility, for example, at the time of reception at a hotel front.

  Therefore, in the second embodiment, the lock terminal key 4A exists at least in the room R, and power-saving short-range communication is established between the lock terminal key 4A and the room control device 21. In this case, the room control device 21 performs control so that the use start switch 26 is turned on. 9 and 10 of the first embodiment are used as flowcharts necessary for the description of the second embodiment.

  FIG. 12 is a block diagram showing the main part of the lock terminal key 4A. The lock terminal key 4A is based on the knob-like operation part 44 following the blade 42 having the unlocking groove 43, the ID provided by the accommodation facility, and the rotation operation of the knob-like operation part. A storage unit 46 for storing the latest application / unlocking log information detected by the detection unit 45, a control unit 47 for processing the information stored in the storage unit, and the control unit 47 A communication terminal communication unit 48 that automatically transmits at least the ID recorded in the storage unit 46 to the lock control device 12 and the room control device 21 by power-saving short-range wireless or manually transmits the ID. .

  The lock terminal key 4A is a newly improved product called “checkey,” which is currently being sold by the applicant. Therefore, the lock / unlock display mechanism including the switch member S, -It has an additional window 49 for displaying the unlocked state.

  In addition, the lock terminal key 4A includes a grip portion (a knob-like operation portion) 44 that supports a blade 42 as a key and has a lock / unlock display mechanism including a switch member S, and has a long hole-like window portion 49. Thus, for example, the current information of the lock terminal key 4A can be known by visually recognizing colors (white, orange, characters, etc.).

  The electrical configuration of the lock terminal key 4A will be described. Here, it is assumed that the switch member S is activated and, for example, the lock terminal key 4A is unlocked. This unlocked state is detected by a detection unit 45 that employs a magnet, a movable contact piece, or a photoelectric element. That is, the switch member S physically detects the operation signal of the lock terminal key 4A, but the detection unit 45 electrically detects the operation signal of the lock terminal key 4A. The unlock signal detected by the detection unit 45 is temporarily stored in a specific area of the storage unit 46 as the latest application / unlock information. As described above, the storage unit 46 has an ID transmitted to each of the lock control device 12 and the room control device 21.

  Therefore, when communication is possible within the radio wave ranges of the lock control device 12 and the room control device 21, the control unit 47 sends the identification ID to the communication terminal communication either immediately or after a predetermined time elapses, for example. The unit 48 is instructed to automatically transmit. That is, an operation instruction command for transmitting unlocking information or the like to the lock control device 12 is given. Therefore, when receiving the operation instruction command, the communication terminal communication unit 48 transmits an ID (information necessary for unlocking) to the lock control device 12.

  When the user U enters the room R, an ID is transmitted to the room control device 21 to turn on the use switch 27. Even if comprised in this way, the effect similar to 1st Embodiment can be acquired.

  By the way, in the second embodiment, the possessed communication terminal 4 of the first embodiment is further added, and the communication terminal 4 acquires the ID from the unlocking code issuing unit 2 on the accommodation facility side, and When the terminal 4 is in the radio wave range of the lock control device 12 and power-saving short-range communication is established between the communication terminal 4 and the lock control device 12, the lock control device 12 You may comprise so that the said ID may be acquired from the communication terminal 4 by the said short distance communication. If comprised in this way, since the user U can use both the terminals 4 and 4A arbitrarily, the convenience improves further.

  The present invention can be used as an energy saving device for a room of an accommodation facility.
