That is, the authentication information output system 1 and the intercom system 10 can communicate with each other. Further, the authentication information output system 1 and the operation terminal T1 can communicate with each other. Further, the authentication information output system 1 and the information terminal 3 can communicate with each other. Further, since the authentication information output system 1 functions as a relay device, the operation terminal T1 and the information terminal 3 can indirectly communicate with each other via the authentication information output system 1. Further, the operation terminal T1 and the intercom system 10 can indirectly communicate with each other via the authentication information output system 1.

(2.3) Authentication Information Output System Next, the configuration of the authentication information output system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

The authentication information output system 1 mainly comprises a computer system having one or more processors and one or more memories. In the authentication information output system 1, the functions of each part of the authentication information output system 1 are realized by executing a program recorded in the memory by one or more processors. The program may be pre-recorded in a memory, provided through a telecommunication line such as the Internet, or may be recorded and provided on a non-temporary recording medium such as a memory card.

The authentication information output system 1 is realized by a server 5 (for example, one server device) installed outside the collective facility 2. The authentication information output system 1 may be realized by cloud computing or the like. The authentication information output system 1 has a communication function (communication unit 104), and as described above, communicates with each of the intercom system 10, the operation terminal T1, and the information terminal 3 by being connected to the network NT1. It will be possible.

As shown in FIG. 2, the authentication information output system 1 includes a reception unit 101, an authentication output unit 102, and a status output unit 103.

As described above, the reception unit 101 has a function of receiving an output request regarding authentication information. The authentication information can be input to the entrance device 13 of the intercom system 10 for at least one of unlocking and opening the door 221 of the collective entrance.

The output request is issued by, for example, the management company. Specifically, the operation terminal T1 operated by the management company transmits a signal including information regarding the output request (request signal S1: see FIG. 2) to the authentication information output system 1. The authentication information output system 1 receives an output request at the reception unit 101 by receiving the request signal S1 via the communication unit 104.

Here, the operation terminal T1 will be described. The operation terminal T1 mainly comprises a computer system having one or more processors and one or more memories. As described above, the operation terminal T1 has a communication function for communicating with the authentication information output system 1 and the like by being connected to the network NT1. Further, the operation terminal T1 has a user interface. The operation terminal T1 is realized by, for example, a stationary personal computer.

As described above, the management company manages the schedule of the person M1 who plans to perform maintenance work in the collective facility 2. The maintenance work may be, for example, periodic inspection or repair work of lighting equipment, disaster prevention equipment, elevators, etc. installed in the collective facility 2. When the maintenance company informs the maintenance company of the maintenance date and time (scheduled visit date), the management company operator OP1 operates the operation terminal T1 to make an "output request". Specifically, the operator OP1 activates the dedicated application software pre-installed on the operation terminal T1, inputs various input information, and issues an "output request".

The input information includes, for example, information for specifying the maintenance location (collective facility 2), information on the maintenance date and time, specific information for specifying the prospective person M1, the purpose of visit, and the like. The specific information includes the company name or organization name to which the prospective person M1 belongs, and the personal name or employee ID of the prospective person M1. The specific information may include the e-mail address information of the prospective person M1, the identification information of the information terminal 3 carried by the prospective person M1, the telephone number, and the like. Further, the input information includes information for designating a valid predetermined number of times and a valid predetermined period of the authentication information described later.

In particular, the input information includes information regarding the contact information of the information terminal 3. In other words, the output request includes information about the contact information of the information terminal 3. The information regarding the contact information corresponds to the above-mentioned specific information (identification information of the information terminal 3, telephone number, e-mail address information, etc.). Therefore, the requesting source of the output request can easily specify the information terminal 3 as the notification destination for notifying the authentication information.

The operation terminal T1 may store a part of the above-mentioned input information in advance as registration information. The operation terminal T1 may store, for example, registration information in which the employee ID of the prospective person M1 and the e-mail address information are associated with each other. Further, the authentication information output system 1 may store a part of the above-mentioned input information in advance as registration information.

The operation terminal T1 generates a request signal S1 based on the input information and the registration information, and transmits the request signal S1 to the authentication information output system 1. The authentication information may be determined by the operation terminal T1, but here, it is not determined by the operation terminal T1. That is, as an example, the output request (request signal S1) does not include the authentication information to be output to the predetermined information terminal 3.

Here, the entrance device 13 has an operation unit 131 that receives operations of a person (for example, a visitor including a prospective person M1 or the like). The operation unit 131 is, for example, an input interface having a plurality of push buttons, a touch panel, and the like. The plurality of push buttons have, for example, a numeric keypad 0 to 9, an asterisk (*) button, a sharp (#) button, an erase button, a call button, and the like. For example, when a visitor wants to call a resident of a certain room number (house number) on the entrance device 13, he presses the number buttons on the numeric keypad in order and inputs the room number. Finally, when the visitor presses the call button, the input of the room number is confirmed, and the call is executed to the living room master unit 12 of the dwelling unit having that room number. If the call is answered on the side of the living room master unit 12, a call can be made between the entrance device 13 and the living room master unit 12.

The authentication information includes a multi-digit password (the number of digits is not particularly limited, but preferably 4 digits or more) consisting of numbers and symbols (*, #) that can be input by a plurality of push buttons of the operation unit 131. .. The password is not limited to numbers and symbols, and may include alphabets and the like. The entrance device 13 can be switched to an operation mode for accepting a password input according to a specific operation.

For example, when the entrance device 13 has a display unit including a touch panel type liquid crystal display, it may be able to output a guidance screen for inputting a password. By touching the password input field on the guidance screen displayed on the display unit, alphanumeric characters and symbols may be selected and input.

In the illustrated example, the authentication information (password) is "# 0123". The authentication information includes ID information in addition to the password, and may be a combination of the ID information and the password. The ID information may be, for example, assigned to the collective facility 2 or each building.

In response to the reception of the output request from the operation terminal T1, the authentication output unit 102 inputs the entrance device 13 a predetermined number of times and at least one of the inputs within a predetermined period (here, both as an example) is valid authentication information. Is output to a predetermined information terminal 3. In other words, the authentication information is set with a valid predetermined number of times that input is permitted and a valid predetermined period. That is, the authentication information is valid for input within a predetermined period. Further, the authentication information can be input a predetermined number of times. In the following, the information related to these will be referred to as validity count information and expiration date information, respectively.

Considering the suppression of security deterioration in the collective facility 2, it is desirable that the effective predetermined number of times is one. The password should be a one-time password that is valid only once. The effective predetermined period is preferably within 24 hours. However, the valid predetermined number of times and the predetermined period are not particularly limited. If the maintenance work is a long-term work that spans days, for example, the effective predetermined number of times may be two or more.

The authentication information output system 1 has a function of automatically generating authentication information. In other words, the reception unit 101 and the authentication output unit 102 are provided on the server 5 capable of communicating with the predetermined information terminal 3, and the authentication information is generated by the server 5. However, the validity number information and the expiration date information are included in the request signal S1, and the authentication information output system 1 receives these information from the operation terminal T1.

Specifically, the expiration date information included in the request signal S1 includes information for designating a start point of a predetermined period. In other words, the output request contains at least information for designating a starting point for a predetermined period. Further, the expiration date information included in the request signal S1 includes information for designating the end point of the predetermined period. In other words, the output request contains at least information for designating the end point of a predetermined period.

The valid number of times information included in the request signal S1 includes information for designating a predetermined number of times. In other words, the output request contains information for designating at least a predetermined number of times.

The authentication information output system 1 notifies the information terminal 3 of the authentication information. That is, the authentication information output system 1 transmits a notification signal S2 (see FIG. 2) including the authentication information to the information terminal 3. Specifically, the authentication information output system 1 notifies (outputs) the authentication information to the information terminal 3 based on, for example, the information about the contact included in the output request. The prospective person M1 receives a notification that the authentication information is "# 0123" through the mobile terminal (information terminal 3). The authentication information obtained by this notification is information that can be input to the entrance device 13 by operating the operation unit 131. The means by which the authentication information output system 1 notifies the information terminal 3 of the authentication information is not particularly limited, and the authentication information may be notified by e-mail, a short message, or the like. Alternatively, if the dedicated application software is installed in the information terminal 3, the authentication information may be performed by push notification. It is desirable that the authentication information output system 1 notifies the information terminal 3 of the validity count information and the expiration date information in addition to the authentication information.

The authentication information output system 1 has a function of collating the output authentication information with the authentication information input from the operation unit 131. That is, the authentication information output system 1 is configured to store the notified authentication information, the validity count information, and the expiration date information, and execute the authentication process in response to the authentication request from the intercom system 10. When the authentication information output system 1 notifies the authentication information, the authentication information output system 1 sets the number of authentications related to the authentication information to the initial value (zero). The number of authentications is incremented by "1" each time an authentication request for the same authentication information is received from the intercom system 10.

Specifically, each time the entrance device 13 receives an input of authentication information from the prospective person M1, the authentication request signal S3 including the authentication information input to the authentication information output system 1 via the control device 14 (See FIG. 2) is transmitted to request the authentication process. When the authentication information output system 1 receives the authentication request signal S3, it determines whether or not the authentication information matching the received authentication information exists. If there is no matching authentication information, the authentication information output system 1 transmits an authentication result signal S4 (see FIG. 2) including the fact that the authentication has failed to the intercom system 10. Even if there is matching authentication information, the authentication information output system 1 refers to the expiration date information and the expiration date information corresponding to the authentication information. Then, when the expiration date has expired or the number of authentications exceeds the number of valid times, the authentication information output system 1 transmits an authentication result signal S4 including the fact that the authentication has failed to the intercom system 10. The authentication information output system 1 transmits an authentication result signal S4 including the success of authentication to the intercom system 10 if matching authentication information exists, the current time is within the expiration date, and the number of authentications is less than or equal to the number of valid times. To do.

By setting the expiration date and the number of validity times for the authentication information, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of security in the collective facility 2.

When the intercom system 10 receives the result of successful authentication from the authentication information output system 1, the entrance device 13 unlocks, for example, the door 221. On the other hand, when the intercom system 10 receives the result of the authentication failure from the authentication information output system 1, the entrance device 13 keeps the door 221 locked. Even if the entrance device 13 notifies the prospective person M1 of the authentication result regardless of the success or failure of the authentication by at least one of the audio output from the attached speaker and the image output from the attached display unit. Good. Further, the authentication information output system 1 may provide information on the authentication result to the operation terminal T1.

(2.4) Update Request and Change Request The reception unit 101 of the authentication information output system 1 has a function of receiving not only an output request but also an update request. The update request referred to here relates to at least one of change and cancellation of the authentication information output from the authentication output unit 102. Specifically, after the operation terminal T1 operated by the management company makes an output request regarding the planned person M1, the date and time of the maintenance work may be changed or the maintenance work may be changed due to the circumstances of the planned person M1 or the collective facility 2. It may be canceled by itself. Alternatively, the input information may be incorrect.

When such a situation occurs, the operator OP1 issues an update request through the operation terminal T1. That is, the operation terminal T1 transmits an update request signal including information regarding the update request to the authentication information output system 1. The renewal request signal may include a change instruction for at least one of authentication information, expiration date information, and validity count information. The update request signal may also include a revocation instruction regarding the authentication information. The authentication information output system 1 receives the update request signal at the reception unit 101 by receiving the update request signal via the communication unit 104.

The authentication information output system 1 changes or cancels the stored output authentication information, expiration date information, and validity count information in response to the acceptance of the update request. Then, the authentication output unit 102 outputs information instructing at least one of change and cancellation of the authentication information to the predetermined information terminal 3 in response to the acceptance of the update request. Therefore, the prospective person M1 can know through the information terminal 3 that the notified authentication information has been changed or canceled. It is preferable that the authentication output unit 102 outputs to the information terminal 3 that the expiration date information and the validity count information have also been changed.

In this way, the reception unit 101 has a function of receiving not only the output request but also the update request. Therefore, for example, when the output authentication information is incorrect, or the visit schedule to the collective facility 2 is changed or If canceled, it can be easily corrected.

Further, the reception unit 101 of the authentication information output system 1 further accepts the change request. The change request referred to here relates to at least one of an increase in a predetermined number of times and an extension of a predetermined period regarding the authentication information output from the authentication output unit 102. Specifically, after the operation terminal T1 operated by the management company makes an output request regarding the planned person M1, the maintenance work may take longer than planned due to the convenience of the planned person M1 or the collective facility 2. If the maintenance period is extended, it may not be possible to complete the maintenance work within the predetermined period set based on the original schedule. Even for the effective predetermined number of times, it may not be enough if maintenance work that spans days occurs.

When such a situation occurs, the operator OP1 issues a change request through the operation terminal T1. That is, the operation terminal T1 transmits a change request signal including information regarding the change request to the authentication information output system 1. The change request signal may include instructions for at least one of a predetermined number of increases and a predetermined period of extension. The authentication information output system 1 receives the change request signal at the reception unit 101 by receiving the change request signal via the communication unit 104.

The authentication information output system 1 changes the stored expiration date information and the validity count information in response to the acceptance of the change request. Then, the authentication output unit 102 outputs information instructing at least one of the increase in the predetermined number of times and the extension of the predetermined period to the predetermined information terminal 3 in response to the acceptance of the change request. Therefore, the prospective person M1 can know through the information terminal 3 that the predetermined number of times of notification has been increased or that the predetermined period of notification has been extended.

As described above, since the reception unit 101 has a function of further accepting not only the output request but also the change request, for example, the number of valid times and the expiration date of the output authentication information can be easily extended.

(2.5) Authentication Information Input Status By the way, the authentication information output system 1 has a function of providing the authentication information input status to the entrance device 13. That is, the status output unit 103 of the authentication information output system 1 outputs information regarding the input status of the authentication information to the entrance device 13.

The information regarding the "input status" of the authentication information may include history information of operations related to the input of the authentication information, or may include information about the person (input person) who executes the input of the authentication information. The input person is not necessarily the prospective person M1. For example, the input person may include a resident, a caretaker, a resident's family, an acquaintance, a solicitor of goods, and a suspicious person who attempts to invade the collective facility 2 without permission.

First, a case where the information regarding the "input status" includes the image information of the input person will be described.

The status output unit 103 of the present embodiment outputs image information. The image information is taken by the imaging unit 130 of the entrance device 13 at at least one of the first timing, the second timing, and the third timing. The first timing is before the authentication information is input to the entrance device 13. At the second timing, the authentication information is being input to the entrance device 13. The third timing is after the authentication information is input to the entrance device 13. Here, the output destination of the image information is, for example, the management company (the operation terminal T1 of the management company or the monitoring server device of the management company) that is the request source of the output request, but is not particularly limited.

The entrance device 13 may include, for example, a motion sensor, and when the motion sensor detects a person in the vicinity of the entrance device 13, the imaging unit 130 may start imaging. Further, when the human sensor no longer detects the person, the entrance device 13 may end the imaging by the imaging unit 130. The entrance device 13 transfers the image information captured by the imaging unit 130 to the authentication information output system 1 only when the input of the authentication information is executed within the imaging period. The image information may be a moving image or a still image. The motion sensor may be installed separately from the housing of the entrance device 13 and may be electrically connected to the entrance device 13.

Further, the motion sensor is not an indispensable component for the entrance device 13. The entrance device 13 may start imaging by the imaging unit 130 at the timing when the operation input to the operation unit 131 (including the touch operation to the display unit) is started. Further, the entrance device 13 may end the imaging by the imaging unit 130 at the timing when the input of the authentication information is completed.

The authentication information output system 1 selects from the image information received from the entrance device 13 and outputs the selected image information from the status output unit 103 to the operation terminal T1 or the like of the management company. The authentication information output system 1 selects image information captured at at least one of the above-mentioned first timing, second timing, and third timing from the received image information. The authentication information output system 1 may select and output only one or a plurality of still images in which the face of the input person faces the front, for example. The selection of the image information is not indispensable, and the image information received from the entrance device 13 may be output as it is without any processing. The image information may be selected on the side of the intercom system 10 (entrance device 13 or control device 14).

At the output destination of the image information, the input status of the authentication information to the entrance device 13 can be known in more detail based on the image information captured at the above timing.

Next, a case where the information regarding the "input status" includes the history information of the operation related to the input of the authentication information will be described.

The status output unit 103 of the present embodiment outputs history information. The history information relates to the call of the call destination from the entrance device 13 before the authentication information is input to the entrance device 13. Specifically, for the prospective person M1, it is a business to call the person to be visited (administrator, resident, etc.) through the entrance device 13, explain the purpose of the visit verbally, and then enter the collective facility 2. It may be required or desired. Therefore, the status output unit 103 outputs history information (call confirmation information) indicating whether or not the authentication information has been input after the call is executed by the entrance device 13. It is preferable that the status output unit 103 also outputs historical information regarding the date and time when the authentication information is input, the result of authentication (success or failure), the cause of the authentication failure, and the like. As an example, the output destination of the history information is the management company (the operation terminal T1 of the management company or the monitoring server device of the management company) that is the request source of the output request, but the output destination is not particularly limited. The output destination of the history information may be the management room master unit 11 or the living room master unit 12 of the intercom system 10, or a mobile terminal carried by the manager or the resident of the collective facility 2.

The entrance device 13 stores history information (time stamp) regarding a call executed from the entrance device 13. When the entrance device 13 receives the input of the authentication information, it transmits the authentication request signal S3 to the authentication information output system 1 together with the history information related to the call, for example. When the authentication information output system 1 receives the authentication request signal S3, it executes the authentication process, and whether or not the call is executed within the period before the input timing of the authentication information (for example, within 1 minute before the input timing). Is determined. Then, the authentication information output system 1 transmits the call confirmation information including the determination result to the operation terminal T1 or the like. Therefore, at the output destination of the call confirmation information, for example, it is possible to know whether or not the authentication information has been input after calling the call destination.

(2.6) Description of Operation Hereinafter, the operation of the authentication information output system 1 will be briefly described with reference to FIG.

First, the operator OP1 of the management company makes an output request regarding the prospective person M1 using the operation terminal T1 (step ST1). The operation terminal T1 transmits a request signal S1 to the authentication information output system 1 (step ST2).

The authentication information output system 1 receives the request signal S1. In other words, the authentication information output system 1 accepts an output request related to the authentication information (a processing method acceptance step).

When the authentication information output system 1 receives the request signal S1, it generates authentication information with the number of valid times and the expiration date (step ST3). The authentication information output system 1 transmits a notification signal S2 including the generated authentication information to the information terminal 3 (step ST4). In other words, the authentication information output system 1 outputs the authentication information to the information terminal 3 in response to the reception of the output request (authentication output step of the processing method). The prospective person M1 acquires the authentication information at the information terminal 3 (step ST5).

After that, the prospective person M1 visits the collective facility 2 which is actually the work place for maintenance. The prospective person M1, that is, the worker executes a call of the manager at the entrance device 13, for example, and informs the manager of the purpose of the visit in the call. Then, after finishing the call with the manager, the worker operates the operation unit 131 of the entrance device 13 and inputs the authentication information obtained through the information terminal 3 (step ST6). The entrance device 13 transmits an authentication request signal S3 including the input authentication information to the authentication information output system 1 (step ST7). When the authentication information output system 1 receives the authentication request signal S3, it executes the authentication process (step ST8) and transmits the authentication result signal S4 including the authentication result to the intercom system 10 (step ST9).

If the received authentication result indicates "success", the entrance device 13 unlocks, for example, the electric lock of the door 221 (step ST10). As a result, the worker can enter the collective facility 2 through the unlocked door 221 and perform maintenance work. However, if the received authentication result indicates "failure", the entrance device 13 maintains the locked state of the electric lock of the door 221.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the worker (planned person M1) can unlock (or open) the collective entrance by himself / herself using the authentication information. That is, the prospective person M1 can save the trouble of requesting the manager of the collective facility 2 to unlock (or open) the collective entrance, and the manager of the collective facility 2 can also reduce the burden. Even if the person to be visited by the prospective person M1 is a user of the collective facility 2 (for example, a resident), the trouble of asking the resident to unlock (or open) the collective entrance can be saved, and the burden on the resident is reduced. Will be done. Further, even when the manager and the resident of the collective facility 2 are absent, the prospective person M1 can unlock (or open) the collective entrance by himself / herself.

Further, since at least one of the authentication information is valid for the entrance device 13 a predetermined number of times and within a predetermined period, the security in the collective facility 2 is higher than that of the semi-permanently valid PIN. The decrease can be suppressed.

Therefore, it is possible to improve the convenience while suppressing the deterioration of the security in the collective facility 2.

(3) Modified Example The above embodiment is only one of various embodiments of the present disclosure. The above-described embodiment can be changed in various ways depending on the design and the like as long as the object of the present disclosure can be achieved. Further, the same functions as the authentication information output system 1 and the intercom system 10 according to the above embodiment may be embodied by these processing methods, a computer program, a non-temporary recording medium on which a computer program is recorded, or the like.

Hereinafter, modifications of the above embodiment will be listed. The modifications described below can be applied in combination as appropriate. Hereinafter, the above embodiment may be referred to as a “basic example”.

The authentication information output system 1 and the intercom system 10 in the present disclosure include a computer system. A computer system mainly consists of a processor and a memory as hardware. When the processor executes the program recorded in the memory of the computer system, the functions as the authentication information output system 1 and the interphone system 10 in the present disclosure are realized. The program may be pre-recorded in the memory of the computer system, may be provided through a telecommunications line, and may be recorded on a non-temporary recording medium such as a memory card, optical disk, hard disk drive, etc. readable by the computer system. May be provided. A processor in a computer system is composed of one or more electronic circuits including a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) or a large scale integrated circuit (LSI). The integrated circuit such as IC or LSI referred to here has a different name depending on the degree of integration, and includes an integrated circuit called a system LSI, VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration), or ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Integration). Further, an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) programmed after the LSI is manufactured, or a logical device capable of reconfiguring the junction relationship inside the LSI or reconfiguring the circuit partition inside the LSI should also be adopted as a processor. Can be done. A plurality of electronic circuits may be integrated on one chip, or may be distributed on a plurality of chips. The plurality of chips may be integrated in one device, or may be distributed in a plurality of devices. The computer system referred to here includes a microprocessor having one or more processors and one or more memories. Therefore, the microprocessor is also composed of one or a plurality of electronic circuits including a semiconductor integrated circuit or a large-scale integrated circuit.

Further, it is not an essential configuration that a plurality of functions in each of the authentication information output system 1 and the intercom system 10 are integrated in one housing. Each component of the authentication information output system 1 and the intercom system 10 may be distributed in a plurality of housings. On the contrary, a plurality of functions in each of the authentication information output system 1 and the intercom system 10 may be integrated in one housing. Further, at least a part of the functions of the authentication information output system 1 and the intercom system 10, for example, a part of the functions of the authentication information output system 1 may be realized by a cloud (cloud computing) or the like.

(3.1) Modification 1
In the basic example, the predetermined information terminal 3 is a mobile terminal (smartphone or the like) carried by the prospective person M1. However, the predetermined information terminal 3 is not limited to the mobile terminal carried by the prospective person M1.

FIG. 4 is an overall configuration diagram of the collective facility management system 100A including the authentication information output system 1 of this modification (modification example 1). This modification differs from the basic example in that the predetermined information terminal 3 corresponds to the operation terminal T1 of the management company. That is, when the authentication information output system 1 generates the authentication information in response to the reception of the output request, the authentication output unit 102 outputs the authentication information to the operation terminal T1 (information terminal 3) of the management company. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the authentication information output system 1 transmits the notification signal S2 including the authentication information to the operation terminal T1 (information terminal 3).

The operator OP1 of the management company receives the notification of the authentication information after making an output request through the operation terminal T1. The operator OP1 verbally conveys the authentication information obtained from the authentication information output system 1 to the prospective person M1 by means such as a direct telephone call.

Also in this modified example, it is possible to improve the convenience while suppressing the deterioration of the security in the collective facility 2.

(3.2) Modification 2
In the basic example, the authentication information output system 1 receives an output request from the operation terminal T1 of the management company. However, the request source of the output request is not limited to the operation terminal T1 of the management company. For example, the output request may be generated based on the information indicating the conclusion of a predetermined contract made by the user (for example, a resident) of the collective facility 2.

FIG. 5 is an overall configuration diagram of the collective facility management system 100B including the authentication information output system 1 of the present modification (modification 2). In this modification, the output request is made from the order server 6 that accepts the order for the product.

The order server 6 is a server that manages an EC (Electronic Commerce) site that sells goods (or services) on a website. For example, the user (resident) in the collective facility 2 accesses the EC site through the living room master unit 12 in the exclusive section 23 or the information terminal 7 (personal computer, smartphone, tablet terminal, etc.) owned by the user. And you can order the goods.

Specifically, for example, when the resident operates the living room master unit 12 or the information terminal 7 to place an order for a product, the order server 6 accepts the order for the product. That is, the living room master unit 12 or the information terminal 7 displays the product name, product number, number of products, total price of products, orderer's name, address (location of collective facility 2), telephone number, email address information, and the like. The including order confirmation signal S0 is transmitted to the order server 6. When the order server 6 receives the order confirmation signal S0, the order server 6 confirms the order of the product and generates the order number. Here, the order server 6 transmits a request signal S1 including information regarding the order number and the like to the authentication information output system 1. In other words, the authentication information output system 1 receives an output request regarding the authentication information from the order server 6. When the authentication information output system 1 receives the request signal S1, the authentication information output system 1 automatically generates authentication information for the order number included in the request signal S1.

The authentication information output system 1 transmits a notification signal S2 including the generated authentication information to the order server 6. That is, in this modification, the order server 6 corresponds to the information terminal 3.

The seller (individual, company or group) of the product that manages the order server 6 arranges the product and requests the delivery company to deliver the product. In response to the delivery request, the operator of the delivery company sends the order number, authentication information, delivery destination name (for example, the name of the orderer), address (location of the meeting facility 2), telephone number, etc. to the delivery management server 8. Enter. At least a part of this information may be transmitted directly from the order server 6 to the delivery management server 8.

At the delivery company, the slip sheet W2 to be attached to the package (packing box W1 of the product) is printed by the printing equipment. The printing equipment prints the slip sheet W2 based on the above information input to the home delivery management server 8. In the present embodiment, the slip sheet W2 is printed with the authentication code C1 that records the same authentication information as the authentication information generated by the authentication information output system 1. The authentication code C1 assumes a two-dimensional code such as a QR code (registered trademark), but may be a one-dimensional code (bar code).

Then, when the delivery company (planned person M1) arrives at the collective facility 2, for example, the entrance device 13 inputs the room number of the delivery destination of the package and calls the resident. Then, the courier company informs the resident of the purpose of the visit (delivery to the courier), and then brings the packing box W1 closer so that the image pickup unit 130 of the entrance device 13 reads the authentication code C1.

The entrance device 13 reads, for example, the authentication information recorded in the authentication code C1 imaged by the image pickup unit 130. Then, the entrance device 13 transmits the authentication request signal S3 including the read authentication information to the authentication information output system 1. When the authentication information output system 1 receives the authentication request signal S3, it executes the authentication process and transmits the authentication result signal S4 to the entrance device 13.

If the received authentication result indicates "success", the entrance device 13 unlocks, for example, the electric lock of the door 221. As a result, the courier can enter the collective facility 2 through the unlocked door 221 and carry the parcel to the front of the exclusive section 23 (dwelling unit) of the parcel delivery destination.

Also in this modified example, it is possible to improve the convenience while suppressing the deterioration of the security in the collective facility 2.

In particular, in this modification, when the order for the product is confirmed on the order server 6, an output request is automatically made to the authentication information output system 1 and the authentication information is issued. That is, the output request is generated based on the information indicating the confirmation of the product purchase (conclusion of a predetermined contract) made by the resident of the collective facility 2. Therefore, the convenience for a person (here, a courier) who needs to visit the collective facility 2 in response to the confirmation of the purchase of the product (conclusion of a predetermined contract) is improved. Further, the courier company can save the trouble of operating the operation unit 131 of the entrance device 13 and inputting the authentication information.

(3.3) Modification 3
In the basic example, the authentication information output system 1 receives an output request from the operation terminal T1 of the management company. In the second modification, the authentication information output system 1 receives an output request from the order server 6.

In this modification (modification 3), the request source of the output request is the information terminal 9 (see FIG. 6). The information terminal 9 is realized by an information terminal such as a smartphone or tablet terminal owned by the manager of the collective facility 2, a personal computer or the like. In this modification, as an example, it is assumed that the smartphone carried by the manager of the collective facility 2 is the information terminal 9.

The information terminal 9 has at least a communication function, and can communicate with each of the intercom system 10 and the authentication information output system 1 by being connected to the network NT1 via a mobile phone network or the like. The information terminal 9 functions as the information terminal 9 by installing the dedicated application software and activating the application software. In the following, this application software will be referred to as a "remote management support application" as an example. The administrator can remotely perform the specific operation of the intercom system 10 related to the management work by using the information terminal 9 in which the remote management support application is installed. For example, the manager can remotely realize the specific operation such as accepting a visitor when the resident is absent by using the information terminal 9. The manager does not have to wait in the management room 21 of the collective facility 2 by remotely performing a specific operation such as calling the living room master unit 12 (from outside the collective facility 2), and manages the collective facility 2. It is possible to reduce the burden on people.

As shown in FIG. 6, the information terminal 9 has a display unit 91 that constitutes, for example, a touch panel display. When the information terminal 9 executes the remote management support application, the execution screen D1 can be displayed on the display unit 91. The execution screen D1 is a screen for causing the intercom system 10 to execute a specific operation for the manager of the collective facility 2.

As shown in FIG. 6, the execution screen D1 includes a first region R1, a second region R2, and a third region R3. The first area R1 is an area for displaying the title of the application software and the like, and the character string "remote management support application" is displayed. The second area R2 is an area for displaying the name of the collective facility 2 as a management target, and the character string "2-chome condominium is being selected" is displayed as an example. The third area R3 is an area for displaying one or more business objects B31 to B38. Each of the business objects B31 to B38 is associated with any specific operation for the manager 20 of the management target (complex facility 2). Each of the business objects B31 to B38 is an object for receiving an operation (tap) of a person (administrator), and is operated (tapped) when the corresponding specific operation is executed. The information terminal 9 transmits an operation signal for causing the intercom system 10 to execute these specific operations to the remote control system. In this modification, as an example, it is assumed that the remote control system is realized by the server 5 as in the authentication information output system 1, but the remote control system may be realized by a server different from the server 5. Good. When the remote control system receives the operation signal from the information terminal 9, the remote control system outputs a control signal for causing the intercom system 10 to execute a specific operation based on the operation signal via the network NT1.

Here, the execution screen D1 includes a setting button B39 in the first area R1. The character string "setting" is displayed on the setting button B39. When the setting button B39 is operated (tapped) on the execution screen D1, the screen displayed on the display unit 91 transitions from the execution screen D1 to the setting screen D901 shown in FIG. 7A. The execution screen D1 also includes a logout button B11 in the first area R1, and when the logout button B11 is operated (tapped), the screen displayed on the display unit 91 transitions from the execution screen D1 to the login screen. The login screen is a screen that starts up after the remote management support application is started and displays an ID input field for inputting a user ID for an administrator and a password input field for inputting a password.

The setting screen D901 is a screen for realizing various setting operations for the administrator. The setting screen D901 includes a setting selection area R901. A plurality of setting objects B951 to B955 (five in the example of FIG. 7A) are displayed in the setting selection area R901.

Here, the "password setting" corresponding to the setting object B953 is a mode for setting authentication information (password) for unlocking the door 221 of the common unit 22. That is, the door 221 is unlocked when the password set in the "password setting" is input by, for example, the prospective person M1 at the entrance device 13.

When the setting object B953 corresponding to the "password setting" is operated (tapped) on the setting screen D901, the screen displayed on the display unit 91 transitions to the record selection screen D902 shown in FIG. 7B. The record selection screen D902 includes a record selection area R902 instead of the setting selection area R901 of the setting screen D901. A plurality of record objects B961 to B963 (three in the example of FIG. 7B) are displayed in the record selection area R902. Each of the record objects B961 to B963 contains a character string (text) that identifies the corresponding record, such as "PIN 1", "PIN 2", and "PIN 3".

When any one of the plurality of record objects B961 to B963 is operated (tapped) in the record selection area R902, the screen displayed on the display unit 91 transitions to the registration screen D903 shown in FIG. 7C. The registration screen D903 is a screen for setting a personal identification number for the selected record, and includes the registration area R903. The registration area R903 is an area for displaying the number input field C901 for inputting the personal identification number and the enter button B903. Further, the registration area R903 includes a date input field C902 for inputting a target date, a start time input field C903 for inputting a start time, and an end time input field C904 for inputting an end time. .. Thereby, the expiration date of the authentication information, that is, the expiration date in which the door 221 of the common unit 22 can be unlocked by the password can be limited between the start time and the end time of the target date. That is, the authentication information set here becomes a temporary password that can be used, such as a one-time password.

As shown in FIG. 7D, the information terminal 9 accepts the input of the password in the number input field C901 and the input in the date input field C902, the start time input field C903, and the end time input field C904 on the registration screen D903. .. Until the enter button B903 is operated (tapped), the registration screen D903 is displayed and input acceptance of the password and the like continues. When the enter button B903 is operated (tapped), the password entered in the number input field C901 is registered in the selected record (“PIN setting 3” in the example of FIG. 7D).

Further, on the registration screen D903, an input field for information (for example, an e-mail address) of the notification destination of the personal identification number may be provided so that the personal identification number is notified (transmitted) to the registered contact information. Further, the input field for the information of the notification destination of the personal identification number may be provided on a screen different from the registration screen D903.

Further, on the registration screen D903, an input field for the number of valid times may be provided, and the input number may be set as the number of valid times. When the number of valid times is set, the expiration date may not be input, or both the number of valid times and the expiration date may be set.

When the information terminal 9 receives the above-mentioned setting of the authentication information on the registration screen D903, the information terminal 9 transmits the setting to the authentication information output system 1 (server 5). That is, the authentication information output system 1 receives an output request from the information terminal 9. In this modification, the output request includes the authentication information to be output to the information terminal 3 carried by the prospective person M1.

When the authentication information output system 1 receives the output request, the authentication information output system 1 notifies the information terminal 3 carried by the prospective person M1 of the authentication information. If an e-mail address is specified on the registration screen D903, the authentication information output system 1 notifies the e-mail address destination of the authentication information. The authentication information output system 1 stores the notified authentication information, the validity count information, and the expiration date information, and executes the authentication process in response to the authentication request from the intercom system 10.

The person (administrator) is not limited to the person (administrator) who determines the password and inputs it in the number input field C901. For example, a "password automatic setting button" may be provided on the registration screen D903. When the password automatic setting button is tapped, the information terminal 9 may automatically generate the password and display the generated password on the registration screen D903. Then, when the decision button B903 is tapped, the information terminal 9 may send an output request including the generated password to the authentication information output system 1 (server 5).

Alternatively, when the password automatic setting button is tapped (the tap on the enter button B903 may not be necessary), the information terminal 9 may send an output request that does not include the password to the server 5. Then, when the server 5 receives the output request, the server 5 may generate and set a personal identification number on the server 5 side.

(3.4) Modification 4
In the basic example, the authentication information output system 1 receives an output request from the operation terminal T1 of the management company. However, the request source of the output request is not limited to the operation terminal T1 of the management company. For example, the output request may be generated by a user (for example, a resident) of the collective facility 2 based on an operation input to the living room master unit 12 (housing information board) of the exclusive unit 23.

FIG. 8 is an overall configuration diagram of the collective facility management system 100C including the authentication information output system 1 of the present modification (modification 4). In this modification, the output request is made from the living room master unit 12 (housing information board) of the exclusive unit 23 that receives various service requests.

An example of a "service request" referred to here is a request for a service related to housekeeping, cleaning, home-cooking, nursing care, or the like. A person who provides a service (hereinafter referred to as a "service provider") visits the facility of the resident who executed the service request (here, the exclusive section 23 of the collective facility 2) at least once, and performs work according to the service content. Need to be carried out. In other words, the service provider needs to enter the facility through the collective entrance and further to the entrance of the exclusive section 23.

For example, in the case of a request for a service related to cleaning, the cleaning company (service company) visits the exclusive section 23 of the collective facility 2 and collects the object to be cleaned (clothes, etc.) from the requester (resident). To carry out. In addition, the cleaning company visits the exclusive section 23 of the collective facility 2 and carries out the delivery business of delivering the finished product to the client (resident). Further, depending on the service content such as housekeeping agency or long-term care, the service provider (housekeeping agency or long-term care provider, etc.) may be required to enter the exclusive section 23 through the entrance of the exclusive section 23.

The service server SV1 included in the collective facility management system 100C is a server managed by a service provider. For example, a user (resident) in the collective facility 2 can execute various service requests from the living room master unit 12 (or the information terminal 7) in the exclusive unit 23. The display unit 120 includes a touch panel type liquid crystal display. The living room master unit 12 has a browser function. The living room master unit 12 communicates with the service server SV1 in response to an operation from the resident, and displays the content screen provided by the service provider on the browser. One or more of the three screens (G10 to G12) described later may be content screens provided by the service provider.

The living room master unit 12 receives the content screen directly from the service server SV1 via a router installed in the exclusive unit 23 and connected to the network NT1. Alternatively, the living room master unit 12 receives the content screen from the service server SV1 via the intercom line (main line), the control device 14, the Internet equipment 202, the gateway 203, the communication adapter, and the like.

When the resident taps the object area (screen area) for instructing the dedicated "content" display on the menu screen (home screen) displayed on the display unit 120, the menu screen is shown in FIG. 9A. Transition to the service selection screen G10 as described above. Specifically, the living room master unit 12 displays the service selection screen G10 including the first object area R11 that accepts the selection of the first service and the second object area R12 that accepts the selection of the second service on the display unit 120. Let me.

The first object area R11 includes, for example, character string data of "home-meal service". That is, in the example of FIG. 9A, the first service is a home-meal service that delivers the ordered food or meal to the home (proprietary section 23) of the client (orderer). The second object area R12 includes, for example, character string data of "cleaning service". That is, in the example of FIG. 9A, the second service is a cleaning service in which clothes and the like are received from the client and cleaned. In other words, here, as an example, the service selection screen G10 functions as a window for receiving a request regarding one of the two types of services. However, the number of services accepted by the service selection screen G10 is not particularly limited, and may be one type or three or more types. The service selection screen G10 may be a browser screen provided by the service server SV1.

For example, when the resident taps the second object area R12 with his / her finger as shown in FIG. 9A, the living room master unit 12 displays the content designation screen G11 (see FIG. 9B). That is, the service selection screen G10 transitions to the content specification screen G11.

The content designation screen G11 is a screen that accepts the designation of specific service content. The content designation screen G11 includes, for example, a third object area R13 including the character string data "pick-up request" and a fourth object area R14 including the character string data "delivery request".

When the third object area R13 is tapped, the living room master unit 12 communicates with the service server SV1 and requests the cleaning company to pick up clothes and the like. Further, when the fourth object area R14 is tapped, the living room master unit 12 communicates with the service server SV1 and the cleaning company receives a delivery request for the finished product. When the resident taps the first object area R11 with his / her finger, a list of deliverable foods or meals is displayed, and a content specification screen G11 for accepting the designation of the ordered item may be displayed from the list.

For example, when the resident taps the third object area R13 with his / her finger as shown in FIG. 9B, the living room master unit 12 displays the authentication information issuing screen G12 (see FIG. 9C). That is, the content specification screen G11 transitions to the authentication information issuing screen G12.

The authentication information issuing screen G12 is a screen that serves as a window for designating whether or not there is an output request regarding the authentication information. The authentication information issuance screen G12 includes an area R10 including character string data such as "Do you want to request the issuance of authentication information?". Further, the authentication information issuing screen G12 includes, for example, a fifth object area R15 including the character string data "Yes" and a sixth object area R16 including the character string data "No". When the fifth object area R15 is tapped, the living room master unit 12 communicates with the service server SV1 and receives an output request in addition to the service request. On the other hand, when the sixth object area R16 is tapped, the living room master unit 12 communicates with the service server SV1, and the output request is not accepted, but only the service request is accepted.

The function of specifying the presence / absence of the output request is not essential, and the authentication information issuing screen G12 may be omitted. For example, when the third object area R13 or the fourth object area R14 is tapped, it may be determined that the living room master unit 12 has automatically received the output request, triggered by the reception of the service request. .. In short, the process of confirming with the resident whether or not there is an output request may be omitted.

The authentication information output system 1 (server 5) of this modification has an API (Application Programming Interface). The authentication information output system 1 provides the other system with a function for issuing the authentication information by calling the API from the other system (here, the service server SV1) via the network NT1. That is, the authentication information output system 1 cooperates with other systems to issue authentication information in response to the reception of the output request.

The service server SV1 accepts the service request when the resident executes the operation input related to the service request to the living room master unit 12 as described above. That is, the living room master unit 12 provides a request signal S10 including service content designation, output request designation, resident (requester) name, address (location of collective facility 2), telephone number, email address information, and the like. Send to server SV1.

It is not essential that the request signal S10 includes customer information such as the name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address information of the resident (requester) and is transmitted from the living room master unit 12. For example, the identification information for identifying the living room master unit 12, the gateway 203, and the entrance device 13 and the information associated with the customer information are managed by the server 5 or the service server SV1, and the request signal S10 including the identification information is the living room. It may be transmitted from the master unit 12 to the service server SV1.

The request signal S10 may be transmitted from the living room master unit 12 to the service server SV1 via a router installed in the exclusive unit 23 and connected to the network NT1. Alternatively, the request signal S10 may be transmitted from the living room master unit 12 to the service server SV1 via the intercom line (main line), the control device 14, the Internet equipment 202, the gateway 203, the communication adapter, and the like.

When the service server SV1 receives the request signal S10, the service server SV1 notifies the staff of the service provider (the person who is planning to visit the collective facility 2, that is, the planned person M1) of the request contents. The notification destination of the request content is a mobile terminal (predetermined information terminal 3) such as a smartphone or tablet terminal carried by the prospective person M1. However, the predetermined information terminal 3 is not limited to the mobile terminal carried by the prospective person M1, and may be a stationary personal computer.

Here, if the service server SV1 has received the output request "Yes" designation, the service server SV1 transmits a request signal S1 including that fact to the authentication information output system 1. When the function of specifying the presence / absence of the output request is omitted, the service server SV1 may transmit the request signal S1 to the authentication information output system 1 when the request signal S10 is received. Upon receiving the request signal S1, the authentication information output system 1 automatically generates authentication information including a one-time password and the like.

The authentication information output system 1 transmits the notification signal S2 including the generated authentication information to the information terminal 3 via (or without) the service server SV1. When the authentication information is passed through the service server SV1, it may be transmitted to the information terminal 3 at the same time as the request contents, or may be transmitted to the information terminal 3 at different timings from each other. The prospective person M1 acquires the authentication information through the information terminal 3.

For example, if the content of the request is a request to pick up clothes or the like, the staff of the service provider (planned person M1) goes to the collective facility 2 of the requester (resident). When the staff of the service provider arrives at the collective facility 2, for example, the entrance device 13 inputs the room number of the request destination and calls the resident. Then, the staff of the service provider informs the resident of the purpose of the visit (pick-up), and then operates the operation unit 131 of the entrance device 13 to input the authentication information obtained through the information terminal 3.

The entrance device 13 transmits an authentication request signal S3 including the input authentication information to the authentication information output system 1. When the authentication information output system 1 receives the authentication request signal S3, it executes the authentication process and transmits the authentication result signal S4 to the entrance device 13.

If the received authentication result indicates "success", the entrance device 13 unlocks, for example, the electric lock of the door 221. As a result, the staff of the service provider can enter the collective facility 2 through the unlocked door 221 and reach the front of the private section 23 (dwelling unit) of the request destination.

Also in this modified example, it is possible to improve convenience while suppressing deterioration of security in the facility (complex facility 2).

In particular, in this modified example, the output request is automatically made to the authentication information output system 1 and the authentication information is issued in cooperation with the resident requesting the service using the living room master unit 12. .. Therefore, the convenience for those who need to visit the collective facility 2 in response to the service request (here, the staff of the service provider) is improved.

In the above example, the authentication process is executed by the authentication information output system 1. However, the authentication process may be executed on the service server SV1.

Further, in the above-mentioned example, the authentication information is notified to the staff of the service provider (planned person M1) through the information terminal 3. However, the authentication information may be notified to the user (resident) through the living room master unit 12 in addition to or instead of notifying the prospective person M1.

(3.5) Modification 5
By the way, in recent years, so-called "private lodging" facilities (facilities) that provide accommodation services to travelers and the like by utilizing all or part of houses (detached houses or apartment houses) are increasing. In this case, the prospective person M1 (a person who is planning to visit the facility) can be a guest G1 (for example, a traveler) who temporarily uses the private lodging facility 2A (see FIG. 10). Guest G1 (planned person M1) needs to pass through the common entrance door 222 of the private lodging facility 2A when using the room or the like in the private lodging facility 2A for a certain period of time. Further, when the entrance is installed in each room in the private lodging facility 2A, the guest G1 (planned person M1) needs to pass through the common entrance door 222 and the room entrance door 223.

The authentication information output system 1 of this modification issues authentication information to the guest G1 (planned person M1) who uses the private lodging facility 2A.

FIG. 10 is an overall configuration diagram of the collective facility management system 100D including the authentication information output system 1 of the present modification (modification 5). In this modification, the output request is made from the entrance device 13A that receives the operation input related to the check-in to the private lodging facility 2A, or the operation terminal T2 operated by the person in charge H1 of the call center. Since the basic configuration of the entrance device 13A is the same as that of the entrance device 13 of the basic example, the description of the common configuration will be omitted as appropriate here.

As shown in FIG. 10, the authentication information output system 1 (server 5) is connected to the network NT1. Further, the operation terminal T2 of the call center is connected to the network NT1. Further, a mobile terminal (information terminal 3) such as a smartphone or tablet terminal carried by the prospective person M1 is connected to the network NT1.

The operation terminal T2 mainly comprises a computer system having one or more processors and one or more memories. As described above, the operation terminal T2 has a communication function for communicating with the authentication information output system 1 and the like by being connected to the network NT1. Further, the operation terminal T2 has a user interface. The operation terminal T2 is realized by, for example, a stationary personal computer.

Any of the authentication information output system 1, the intercom system 10, the operation terminal T2, and the information terminal 3 can be connected to the network NT1. That is, the authentication information output system 1 and the intercom system 10 can communicate with each other. Further, the authentication information output system 1 and the operation terminal T2 can communicate with each other. Further, the authentication information output system 1 and the information terminal 3 can communicate with each other. Further, since the authentication information output system 1 functions as a relay device, the operation terminal T2 and the information terminal 3 can indirectly communicate with each other via the authentication information output system 1. Further, the operation terminal T2 and the intercom system 10 can indirectly communicate with each other via the authentication information output system 1.

The person in charge H1 of the call center is, for example, a staff member of an "accommodation management company" who is entrusted with management work by a business operator (landlord) of one or more private lodging facilities 2A. The person in charge H1 remotely supports the management of check-in, check-out, etc. regarding the guest G1 who uses the private lodging facility 2A. Specifically, the person in charge H1 is, for example, the business of creating an accommodation list, the business of confirming the identity of the guest G1 (confirmation of the image of the passport, the image of the person's face photo, etc.), and the property to the guest G1 at the time of check-in ( Carry out the work of handing over the key (authentication information here) of the private lodging facility 2A).

Hereinafter, the operation of the authentication information output system 1 when the guest G1 checks in to the private lodging facility 2A to be stayed will be described.

Here, as an example, it is assumed that the guest G1 has made an accommodation reservation for the private lodging facility 2A in advance with the accommodation management company. Specifically, the guest G1 is the accommodation information for staying at the private lodging facility 2A (contact information such as the guest's name, telephone number and e-mail address, image of the passport, image of the person's face, and the number of guests). It is assumed that you have already registered. Part or all of the accommodation information can be registered from the information terminal 3 carried by the guest G1 or a terminal installed in a predetermined public facility or commercial facility (convenience store, etc.). Accommodation information is managed by the accommodation management company. However, registration of part or all of the accommodation information may also be performed from the entrance device 13A.

When the guest G1 arrives at the private lodging facility 2A, the guest G1 executes an operation input related to check-in to the entrance device 13A. The operation input is executed from the operation unit 131 of the entrance device 13A. The operation unit 131 is, for example, an input interface having a plurality of push buttons, a touch panel, and the like. The operation input may include, for example, input of a reservation number (a room number may be used as long as the room number is notified in advance) that has been notified in advance by the accommodation management company at the time of accommodation reservation. Upon receiving the operation input, the entrance device 13A transmits a call signal to the operation terminal T2 to execute the call of the person in charge H1 of the call center. When the person in charge H1 answers the call, a call can be made between the entrance device 13A and the operation terminal T2.

The person in charge H1 performs the work related to the identity verification of the guest G1 standing in front of the entrance device 13A. The person in charge H1 visually matches the face image of the guest G1 captured by the imaging unit 130 of the entrance device 13A with the image of the person's face photograph acquired as accommodation information in advance to prevent spoofing of the person. .. If the accommodation information is registered at the entrance device 13A at the time of check-in, this matching may be omitted. The face image of the guest G1 captured by the imaging unit 130 is stored in the server 5 or the terminal (operation terminal T2) on the call center side.

After completing the identity verification, the person in charge H1 executes an operation related to the delivery of the key (authentication information) from the operation terminal T2. This operation triggers the output request regarding the authentication information to be executed. That is, the operation terminal T2 transmits the request signal S1 to the authentication information output system 1. Upon receiving the request signal S1, the authentication information output system 1 automatically generates authentication information including a password or the like for which a valid predetermined period is set. The "valid predetermined period" referred to here is set so as to correspond to the accommodation period specified by the guest G1. The authentication information may include at least one (here, both) of the password for the common entrance door 222 and the password for the entrance door 223 of the accommodation room used by the guest G1.

The request signal S1 may be transmitted from the entrance device 13A to the authentication information output system 1 instead of the operation terminal T2. In this case, when the person in charge H1 executes an operation indicating that the identity verification has been completed on the operation terminal T2, the operation terminal T2 transmits a confirmation completion signal to the entrance device 13A. Upon receiving the confirmation completion signal, the entrance device 13A notifies the guest G1 whether or not to receive the key (authentication information) by voice output or screen display. When the entrance device 13A receives the operation input indicating the intention to receive the key from the guest G1, the entrance device 13A transmits the request signal S1 to the authentication information output system 1.

The authentication information output system 1 manages "correspondence-related information" in which each of the generated plurality of passwords and the identification information of the corresponding entrance device of the entrance are associated with each other. In particular, the intercom system 10 of this modification includes one or a plurality of entrance devices 13A installed in a common entrance and one or a plurality of entrance devices 13B installed in a plurality of available accommodation rooms, respectively. Therefore, the authentication information output system 1 manages the issued password in association with which entrance device corresponds to it. In the authentication process, it is confirmed whether the identification information and password of the entrance device received from the intercom system 10 match the managed correspondence information.

The authentication information output system 1 may directly transmit the generated authentication information to the information terminal 3, or may transmit the generated authentication information to the information terminal 3 via the operation terminal T2. Here, as an example, the authentication information output system 1 transmits the generated authentication information to the information terminal 3 via the entrance device 13A. That is, the authentication information output system 1 transmits the notification signal S2 including the generated authentication information to the entrance device 13A.

When the entrance device 13A receives the notification signal S2, the authentication information may be displayed on the display unit 132 of the own machine as it is, but here, in consideration of security, the authentication code C2 including the authentication information is displayed on the display unit 132. indicate. The display unit 132 includes, for example, a touch panel type liquid crystal display. The authentication code C2 assumes a two-dimensional code such as a QR code (registered trademark), but may be a one-dimensional code such as a barcode.

The information terminal 3 acquires the authentication information by causing the guest G1 to read the authentication code C2 displayed on the display unit 132 by, for example, the imaging unit of the portable mobile terminal (information terminal 3). The authentication code C2 includes URL (Uniform Resource Locator) information, and the guest G1 may access the website designated by the URL information to acquire the authentication information.

Then, the guest G1 operates the operation unit 131 of the entrance device 13A and inputs the acquired authentication information (password for the shared entrance door 222). The guest G1 manually inputs the authentication information by operating the numeric keypad or the like of the operation unit 131. Alternatively, the authentication information may be input by a so-called "smart lock". For example, the mobile terminal (information terminal 3) and the entrance device 13A may perform short-range wireless communication conforming to, for example, the BLE (Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy) standard, and the authentication information may be automatically transmitted. ..

The entrance device 13A transmits the authentication request signal S3 including the identification information of the own machine and the input authentication information to the authentication information output system 1. When the authentication information output system 1 receives the authentication request signal S3, it executes the authentication process and transmits the authentication result signal S4 to the entrance device 13A.

If the received authentication result indicates "success", the entrance device 13A unlocks, for example, the electric lock of the common entrance door 222. As a result, the guest G1 can enter the accommodation facility 2A through the unlocked door 222 and reach the front of the reserved room (proprietary section 23). Guest G1 uses this password to enter and exit the common entrance door 222 during the accommodation period.

Further, the guest G1 inputs the acquired authentication information (password for the door 223 of the room entrance) into the user interface unit 224 of the entrance device 13B installed at the entrance of the room. That is, the intercom system 10 of this modification further includes the entrance device 13B. The guest G1 manually inputs the authentication information by operating the numeric keypad or the like of the user interface unit 224. Alternatively, similarly to the common entrance door 222, the mobile terminal (information terminal 3) and the user interface unit 224 may perform wireless communication to automatically transmit the authentication information.

The entrance device 13B transmits an authentication request signal including the identification information of the own machine and the input authentication information to the authentication information output system 1. When the authentication information output system 1 receives the authentication request signal, it executes the authentication process and transmits the authentication result signal to the entrance device 13B. If the received authentication result indicates "success", the entrance device 13B unlocks, for example, the electric lock of the door 223 of the room entrance. As a result, the guest G1 can enter the accommodation room (proprietary section 23) through the unlocked door 223. Guest G1 uses this password to enter and exit the room entrance door 223 during the accommodation period.

Also in this modified example, it is possible to improve the convenience while suppressing the deterioration of the security in the facility (private lodging facility 2A).

Further, in this modification, an output request is made in cooperation with the guest G1 checking in to the private lodging facility 2A through the entrance device 13A, and the authentication information is issued. Therefore, the convenience for the guest G1 is improved. In addition, since identity verification can be performed remotely, convenience for accommodation management companies is improved.

In addition, since the authentication code C2 is displayed from the entrance device 3A while the identity of the guest G1 is confirmed through the entrance device 3A, the authentication information can be passed to the guest who is actually in the property (private lodging facility 2A). It becomes more sexual and can suppress spoofing.

The authentication information output system 1 may directly transmit the authentication code C2 to the mobile terminal (information terminal 3) of the guest G1. The guest G1 displays the acquired authentication code C2 on the display unit of the mobile terminal, causes the imaging unit 130 of the entrance device 13A to read the authentication code C2, and causes the entrance device 13A to output the authentication request signal S3 to the authentication information output system. It may be sent to 1 to perform the authentication process.

(3.6) Other Modifications In the basic example, the authentication information output system 1 is realized by the server 5 outside the collective facility 2. However, the function of the authentication information output system 1 may be provided in the server installed in the collective facility 2. Alternatively, the function of the authentication information output system 1 may be provided, for example, in the operation terminal T1 of the management company, the monitoring server, or the like.

In the basic example, the output request (request signal S1) does not include the authentication information to be output to the predetermined information terminal 3. That is, the authentication information has not been determined by the operation terminal T1. However, the output request may include the authentication information to be output to the predetermined information terminal 3. In this case, the authentication information can be specified on the requesting side (for example, the management company side) of the output request.

In the basic example, the authentication information output system 1 is executing the authentication process. However, the authentication process may be executed by the intercom system 10. That is, the authentication output unit 102 of the authentication information output system 1 may further output the authentication information to the intercom system 10 in response to the reception of the output request. In the intercom system 10, for example, the control device 14 stores the authentication information with the number of valid times and the expiration date. Then, when the entrance device 13 receives the input of the authentication information, it requests the control device 14 for the authentication process. In this case, the authentication information can be collated on the side of the intercom system 10.

Alternatively, the entrance devices 13, 13A, 13B may execute the authentication process. In the intercom system 10, for example, the entrance device 13 stores the authentication information. The authentication output unit 102 of the authentication information output system 1 causes the entrance device 13 to register the authentication information (or may update the registered contents) in response to the reception of the output request. Then, when the entrance device 13 receives the input of the authentication information in the operation unit 131, the authentication process is performed. In this case as well, the authentication information can be collated on the side of the intercom system 10. In this case, the content of the authentication information (password, etc.) may be automatically determined by the authentication information output system 1, or the entrance devices 13, 13A, 13B request registration of the authentication information from the authentication output unit 102. Alternatively, the content of the authentication information may be automatically determined when the update request is received. For example, in the above-described modification 5, when the entrance device 13A and the entrance device 13B automatically determine the content of the authentication information, the management of the correspondence information in the authentication information output system 1 can be omitted. When the entrance devices 13, 13A and 13B automatically determine the content of the authentication information, it is preferable to send the result to the authentication information output system 1 and notify the prospective person M1.

In the basic example, the authentication information is input to the entrance device 13 by operating the operation unit 131. However, the authentication information output system 1 may output, for example, an image of a two-dimensional code such as a QR code (registered trademark) in which the authentication information is recorded or code information of the one-dimensional code to the information terminal 3. The prospective person M1 may hold the image of the code information displayed on the display unit of the information terminal 3 over the image pickup unit 130, so that the entrance device 13 may read the authentication information. Alternatively, when the entrance device 13 and the information terminal 3 perform wireless communication, the entrance device 13 may receive the authentication information from the information terminal 3 and accept the input of the authentication information.
