Description

The present invention easily centrally manages the vacancy status of apartments, rental condominiums, and other condominiums, rental housing such as detached houses, and / or accommodation facilities such as hotels, both in Japan and overseas. Regarding the vacancy management system that can be.

Conventionally, owners who own rental housing in remote areas in Japan and overseas generally outsource management to a contractor such as a local agency or management company. However, it is difficult for a contractor to constantly monitor the rental housing that it manages, for example, there is a possibility that a non-contractor illegally breaks into an empty room of the rental housing and sleeps. It is also conceivable that a malicious vendor neglects to manage the property while receiving the management fee, neglects or tolerates illegal use, or makes a false report on the availability and takes the rent. On the other hand, in accommodation facilities, it is necessary to have employees wait at the front desk (reception desk) in order to control check-in, check-out and access to the building of guests (users) and prevent unauthorized use. Prolonged working hours (overwork) due to a shortage of human resources has become a problem.
In response to these problems, for example, Patent Document 1 describes an entry / exit control facility and a surveillance camera that can be operated remotely by generating information necessary for operating an electric lock provided on a door from a surveillance image of a surveillance camera. Coordinated monitoring equipment that links equipment is disclosed. Further, in Patent Document 2, when a user is allowed to use a dwelling unit of an apartment house as a predetermined facility, it is determined whether or not the dwelling unit is a user based on a face image of a person who goes in and out of the managed dwelling unit. By determining whether the user enters or exits the managed dwelling unit and whether the user is inside or outside the managed dwelling unit, it is determined whether or not the user has stayed in the accommodation dwelling unit for more than a predetermined period of use. , The dwelling unit management system of an apartment house to notify the housing manager is disclosed. Further, Patent Document 3 describes a private lodging service system that enables the distribution of a key for using a facility rented for private lodging and the identification of a guest who uses the facility rented for private lodging remotely. Is disclosed.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2018-191019 JP-A-2018-194888 JP-A-2018-101235

However, in Patent Document 1, an information body in which predetermined door management information is stored is provided in the door or in the vicinity of the door, and the door management information is restored from the information body in the surveillance image captured by the surveillance camera. Since it is necessary to capture a high-resolution surveillance image, it takes time and effort to restore the door management information. In addition, for each door to be managed, an information body in which the door management information is stored must be created and installed at the corresponding door or in the vicinity of the door, and it takes time and effort to prepare in advance. Further, since a person in charge of locking and unlocking the door is required based on the door management information displayed on the monitoring image, labor saving is also lacking.
Next, in Patent Document 2, since it is determined whether or not the user is a user based on the face image of a person taken by the camera, it is not only necessary to take a high-resolution face image, but also the user's face image is determined in advance. It is necessary to take a face image and register it, which makes the procedure complicated and lacks labor saving. In addition, a photographing means for photographing the face of a person entering and exiting the managed dwelling unit, and a user determining means for determining whether or not the photographed person is a user based on the photographed person's face image. In addition, when it is determined that the photographed person is a user, the dwelling unit entry / exit determination means for determining the entry / exit of the user to the managed dwelling unit, and the position inside or outside the managed dwelling unit of the user are determined. Notify the dwelling unit manager of the user position determination means, the appropriate use determination means for determining whether or not the user has stayed in the managed dwelling unit for more than a predetermined usage period, and the determination result by the appropriate use determination means. There is also a need for a means of notifying the usage status, which is complicated in configuration and lacks mass productivity and practicality.
Patent Document 3 not only requires a private lodging management server that manages the use of the facility, but also a smart lock terminal and a mobile terminal installed in the room of the facility in response to a check-in request from the mobile terminal owned by the guest. After confirming the whereabouts of the guest by communicating with, the guest's video distribution request is sent to the mobile terminal, and the guest's identity and the face included in the live-delivered personal video and the accommodation reservation information are registered. After confirming the identity of the guest by collating the face included in the certificate image, the key data for unlocking the smart lock terminal is distributed to the mobile terminal, and the system configuration is complicated and in advance. It is necessary to register the identification image, and the procedure for identity verification and distribution of key data is complicated and time-consuming, and lacks labor saving. In addition, management of check-out time and collection of usage fees have not been examined, and the system lacks reliability and practicality.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is possible to centrally manage the vacancy status of rental housing and / or accommodation facilities in remote areas with an extremely simple configuration without requiring complicated procedures.
