The communication used is possible.

Next, the operation of the automatic door device 2 will be described.

The automatic door device 2 with infrared light communication function is
Usually, infrared light is emitted from the infrared light emitting unit 11 of the infrared light transmitting / receiving unit 10, the infrared light is reflected by the reflecting plate 16, and the reflected infrared light is returned to the infrared light receiving unit 13 and received. Here, when there is a movement of the object that blocks the infrared light, a detection signal from the infrared light transmitting / receiving unit 10 is sent to the control unit 34, and the actuator 14 operates according to the detection data to open / close the door 20. Done.

Further, various setting data are stored in the storage section 32 of the communication control section 12, and the control section 34 compares the setting data of the storage section 32 with the detection data of the infrared light transmitting / receiving section 10. The wired communication unit 36 and the actuator 14 are operated based on the comparison result. For example, when the infrared light transmitting / receiving unit 10 detects the movement of any object, the control unit 34
Compares the setting data of the storage unit 32, and if it is determined that there is a security problem as a result, the determination result and the detection data are communicated to a remote place via a wired line via the wired communication unit 36. It

As described above, the automatic door device 2 can normally open and close the door 20 by using infrared light, and can detect the passage of a person or the like to open and close the door 20. By changing the setting of the communication control unit 12, the infrared light detection function of the infrared light transmission / reception unit 10 is used to detect the movement of the object, and further the detected signal is used to detect the abnormality of the door 20. , It is possible to notify that effect. As a result, in addition to the operation of only opening and closing the door 20, the function of monitoring the door 20 and the like can be performed.

Further, the portable telephone device with infrared communication function 4 and the infrared light transmitting / receiving unit 10 communicate the infrared light signal, and the communication control unit 12 processes the infrared light signal from the portable telephone device 4 to control the opening / closing of the door. May be performed.

For example, by receiving the infrared light data emitted from the portable telephone device 4 by the infrared light transmitting / receiving unit 10 and changing the setting of the communication control unit 12, the opening / closing of the door 20 can be performed.
You may make it implement | achieve and control a monitoring function etc.

Further, when the identification condition data of the specific person is set in the control unit 34 of the communication control unit 12, and the identification condition data of the specific person is also set in the infrared light emitted from the portable telephone device with infrared light communication function 4. , Identification condition data of a specific person from the mobile phone device 4 with an infrared light communication function is transmitted to the infrared light transmission / reception unit 10 as data by infrared light, and is discriminated from the information stored in the storage unit 32 of the communication control unit 12. The condition is searched, and when the two data match, the actuator 14 is operated according to the determination condition setting, and the door 20
Can be opened and closed.

Thus, only a specific person can be selected and the door can be opened and closed by operating the portable telephone device.

(Other Embodiments of the Invention) Next, other embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 4, in the automatic door device 2 of this example, the communication control unit 12 has a wireless unit 15 which is a wireless communication device.
Is provided to enable wireless communication with the mobile phone device 4.

In the above-mentioned communication using infrared light by the infrared light transmitting / receiving unit 10, the range where infrared light reaches and can be used is limited, and the infrared light transmitting / receiving unit 10 cannot be used outside the range of use of infrared light. There is. By attaching a wireless unit 15 that uses the same modulation method as the mobile phone device 4 (which may be the same as the wireless unit 15 in other methods) instead of infrared light, in an area wider than the range of use of infrared light, It becomes possible to communicate with the mobile phone device 4. As a result, the communication range between the mobile phone device 4 and the automatic door 2 can be expanded and can be controlled remotely.

In the above example, the infrared light is reflected by the reflecting plate 16, but the light emitting portion and the light receiving portion may be opposed to each other to directly detect the interruption of the infrared light. Further, the light emitting section and the light receiving section may be installed at a plurality of locations in arbitrary directions.

[0033]

As a first effect, the state of the automatic door device can be notified by detecting the occurrence of a door abnormality other than the opening and closing of the door by using infrared light.

The second effect is that the automatic door device can be managed by infrared light communication, the specified person can be confirmed by the infrared light communication data, and the entry / exit permission can be given, and the abnormal object and the movement of the person can be detected. It can be used as a security device by notifying specific contacts. The reason is that by setting the communication control unit, it is possible to detect the movement of the object by infrared light and process and judge the change in the setting conditions. This is because the abnormality can be notified.

The third effect is that normally, only the infrared detector and the actuator device are operated to open and close the door, while infrared optical communication is used to confirm the specific person by setting the signal and open and close the door. You can let it pass. The reason is that the infrared detector is provided with a storage unit that stores a database, information from a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone device having an infrared optical communication function is processed, and a signal permitted to enter or exit is selected to open or close the door. It can be determined by using infrared light communication.
