FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are operation flowcharts showing a procedure for entering and leaving the security zone.
[0012]
This outsider monitoring system is not limited to commercial facilities such as department stores, supermarkets, convenience stores, and retail stores, but also to amusement facilities, hotels, banks, offices, museums, and other facilities that have restricted access zones for outsiders. It is suitable for security purposes.
[0013]
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a monitoring target zone in which a zone exclusively for office workers in which entry of outsiders is restricted is provided, and a general passage 6 leading to the monitoring target zone 1 from an entrance / exit of a facility (not shown). It passes through the second gate 3 provided with the door 4 with an electric lock, and can enter the venue (not only the office worker but also an outsider can pass). An information input terminal device 12 (for example, a personal computer 12) is set up in the inner zone that has passed through the second gate 3 so that an outpatient can express his / her identity and destination. A surveillance camera 13 installed at a nearby high place is connected.
[0014]
In the office room 2 (ie, security zone) set up in the monitored zone, meeting rooms and desks for each office worker are installed as appropriate, and office workers enter and leave the office in five locations around the office room 2. A first gate 5 is provided.
[0015]
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the first gate 5 is a gate having a cut-off structure that does not have the lockable door 4 or the like like the second gate 3 described above. One sensor 7 and a second sensor 8 are installed on the indoor side, and a third sensor 9 is installed between the first sensor 7 and the second sensor 8.
[0016]
Here, the first sensor 7 and the second sensor 8 are position detection sensors that detect the person 10 passing through the first gate 5, and for example, a non-contact type sensor such as an infrared sensor is used. . In this embodiment, a transmission type sensor that blocks light reception by an obstacle is used, and the light projecting unit (left side in the figure) and the light receiving unit (right side in the figure) are installed on the left and right wall surfaces of the gate. ing.
The third sensor 9 is a sensor for identifying a person who passes through the first gate 5. In the present embodiment, the third sensor 9 is an acoustic magnetic sensor that detects a waveform of a weak radio wave from the tag 11. It is used. Accordingly, all office workers who pass here have a dedicated magnet tag 11. In addition to the above-described acoustomagnetic type, the tag 11 may be a magnetic tag, a radio wave tag using radio waves, or the like.
[0017]
In the present embodiment, the configuration for one monitoring target zone has been described. However, there are many cases where such monitoring target zones exist at a plurality of locations along the general passage 6 according to the scale of the facility. Each monitoring target zone can have a facility structure that allows entry through the lockable second gate 3, or can be locked corresponding to each of the plurality of monitoring target zones. A structure may be adopted in which the vehicle enters through a gate having an electric lock door such as the second gate 3.
[0018]
In addition, at one corner of this facility, the detection information from various sensors installed at each of these gates is collectively monitored, an alarm is issued in the event of an abnormality, and the locking and unlocking of the electric lock door 4 is remotely controlled. A security room (not shown) equipped with a monitoring device 21 to be described later is provided. The first gate 5, the second gate 3, the personal computer 12 with a monitoring camera, etc., and the monitoring device 21 are used in this embodiment. The outsider monitoring system 20 is configured.
[0019]
As shown in FIG. 3, the monitoring device 21 is equipped with an entry / exit time recording means 22, a determination means 23, a reception / storage means 24, a monitor television 25 connected thereto, a transmission means 26, and the like.
[0020]
Here, the first to third sensors 7 to 9 installed in the first gate 5 are connected to the input side of the determination means 23, and from these, the first sensor 7 and the second sensor 8 are connected. Based on the sequential detection information, the movement direction of the passerby 10 of the first gate 5 is determined. That is, if the first sensor 7 to the second sensor 8 are detected in the order, it is determined that there is a person entering the office room 2, and conversely if the first sensor 8 to the second sensor 7 are detected in order, the office room is detected. It is judged that there is a person leaving the room from 2. Further, a passerby is specified by the detection information of the third sensor 9. That is, if the detection information of the third sensor 9 is obtained together with the detection information of the first sensor 7 and the second sensor 8, the passerby 10 is determined to be an office worker, and the detection information of the third sensor 9 is obtained. Otherwise, the passerby 10 is determined to be an outsider.
Further, the electric lock EK of the second gate 3 and the alarm means 14 are connected to the output side of the determination means 23. The alarm means 14 is an alarm buzzer, an alarm lamp or the like installed at an appropriate place in the monitoring target zone 1.
[0021]
Further, this determination means 23 is connected to the entry / exit time recording means 22 and knows the entry time of the passer-by 10 from the detection information of the second sensor 8 or the detection information of the passer 10 from the detection information of the first sensor 7. Knowing the exit time, each time data can be recorded in the entry / exit time recording means 22 each time.
[0022]
The reception / storage means 24 is connected to a personal computer 12 with a monitoring camera 13 and input information of an outpatient sent from the personal computer 12 (external company name, name, registration number, destination) And the image information of the imaged surveillance camera 13 can be received and held.
A monitor TV 25 is connected to the receiving / storing means 24 so that a guard can immediately check the received information. At the same time, these pieces of information are sent to the transmission means 26 and transferred via the public telephone network 15 to the mobile phone 16 capable of displaying images possessed by the office worker.
[0023]
Next, the monitoring operation by the outsider monitoring system 20 having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0024]
FIG. 4 is a monitoring sequence of a worker who has a dedicated tag 11.
As shown in FIG. 4, when the office worker passes through the first gate 5 to enter the room, first, the first sensor 7 is detected (S30), and the detection information is sent to the determination means 23 of the monitoring device 21. The determination unit 23 recognizes that the passerby 10 is present at the first gate 5 based on the detection information. Next, when the third sensor 9 is detected (S31), it is recognized that the passerby 10 is an office worker, and subsequently, when the second sensor 8 is detected (S32), the office worker enters the room. (S33). Conversely, when the office worker leaves the room, the second sensor 8 is detected (S34), then the third sensor 9 is detected (S35), and then the first sensor 7 (S36) is detected. Thus, the determination means 23 recognizes that the office worker has left the room (S37).
[0025]
Since this series of operations is a normal entrance / exit, the alarm means 14 and the second gate 3 are not locked. Therefore, smooth entrance / exit is ensured for the office worker, and this monitoring system does not impair the convenience of the office worker in daily work.
In this series of entrance / exit operations, the judging means 23 detects the entrance time and the exit time of the office worker based on the detection timing of the second sensor 8 and the first sensor 7, and each time data is entered into the entrance / exit time recording means 22. (S38, S39), and can be used as data for grasping the working status of the worker at a later date.
[0026]
Next, a monitoring sequence for an outsider who does not have the dedicated tag 11 will be described with reference to FIG.
Normally, the electric lock door 4 of the second gate 3 leading to the first gate 5 is unlocked, and an outsider freely passes through the second gate 3 from the entrance of the facility and is freely monitored. You can enter Zone 1 now.
[0027]
As shown in FIG. 5, when an outsider passes through the first gate 5 for entering the room, the first sensor 7 is first detected (S 40), and the detection information is sent to the determination means 23 of the monitoring device 21. The determination means 23 recognizes that the passerby 10 is present at the first gate 5 from this detection information. However, unlike the above case, if the second sensor 8 is detected without detecting the third sensor 9 (S41) (S42), the determination means 23 indicates that the passerby is an outsider. It judges and recognizes that the outsider entered the office room 2 without permission (S43).
At this time, the determination means 23 detects the entry time from the detection information of the second sensor 8, stores the time data at that time in the entry / exit time recording means 22 (S44), and issues an alarm to the alarm means 14 to give an alarm. Sounds a buzzer, displays a warning, threatens outsiders, and broadcasts an exit recommendation. At the same time, the alarm information is transferred to the mobile phone of the person in charge.
[0028]
Especially in the nighttime when there are few office workers, when the outsider's unauthorized entry is recognized, the alarming action by the alarm is automatically performed, and the electric lock door 4 of the second gate 3 is automatically locked so that the alarm target person can be placed inside the facility. It is possible to prevent the act of getting out of the facility. With such a crime prevention operation, sufficient security management can be achieved even at night.
[0029]
When the alarm is issued, the outsider follows his / her instructions on the screen of the personal computer 12 installed in the vicinity of the second gate 3, and his / her company name, name, and registration number (a business-related outsider has a specific registration number in advance). And the name of the visited site is input (S47). At this time, the monitoring camera 13 simultaneously captures an image of a personal computer input person, and the image data is sequentially taken into the personal computer 12.
These input information and image information are sequentially transferred from the personal computer 12 to the receiving / storing means 24 of the monitoring device 20 and displayed on the television monitor 25. It is automatically transferred to the mobile phone 16 of the person in charge of business who matches the registration number of the outsider and the name of the visited party. The person in charge of business quickly recognizes an outsider's visit from various input information and images displayed on the mobile phone 16, and unlocks the electric lock door 4 of the second gate 3 locked by remote control as necessary. It can be locked (S48).
Moreover, the security guard in the security room can also confirm the outsider from the monitor information of the television monitor 25 and unlock the door 4 with the electric lock (S48).
[0030]
In this way, the office worker can immediately know the visit of outsiders at any time and anywhere, and as before, the office worker in charge goes to the first gate 5 each time to respond to the visitor. Now you are free.
[0031]
Moreover, when an outsider leaves the room, the outsider is detected based on the sensor information of detection of the second sensor 8 (S50) to non-detection of the third sensor 9 (S51) to detection of the first sensor 7 (S52). Is recognized (S54). At this time, the determining means 23 detects the outsider's leaving time from the detection information of the first sensor 7, and holds the time data in the entering / leaving time recording means 22 (S53).
In this way, the entry / exit time data of outsiders can be recorded, which can be used to strengthen future security management.
[0032]
As described above, in the embodiment, the third sensor 9 for specifying the passerby 10 is installed between the first sensor 7 and the second sensor 8 for detecting the presence of the passerby 10, but the third sensor 9 Can be installed in a place other than between the first sensor 7 and the second sensor 8 as long as the dedicated tag 11 of the passerby 10 can be detected . In addition, the sensor for detecting the passerby 10 is not limited to the first sensor 7 and the second sensor 8 as in the present embodiment. In short, the movement direction of the passerby 10 can be recognized. Two or more sensors may be installed along the direction of passage of the first gate 5, and the number of installations and the installation positions are not limited.
[0033]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the first and second sensors monitor the person's entry and exit from the monitoring target zone, and the third sensor allows the outside person to enter or exit. Even in a facility that does not have a locked door, it is possible to automatically recognize unauthorized entry by outsiders and immediately broadcast threatening or exit recommendations with an alarm, Furthermore, it is possible to report to an administrator regardless of whereabouts by using a mobile phone or the like, so that excellent security management can be performed.
On the other hand, a smooth entry / exit is ensured for the office worker, and this monitoring system does not impair the convenience of the office worker in daily work.
[0034]
According to the present invention as set forth in claim 2, since the entry / exit times of outsiders are recorded in the records each time, the stored time data can be used for future security management enhancement. Can do.
[0035]
In addition, according to the third aspect of the present invention, the door of the second gate is automatically locked when an unauthorized entry is detected, so that the person to be alarmed is enclosed in the facility and escapes from the facility. Actions can be prevented, and sufficient security management can be achieved especially at night.
[0036]
According to the present invention as set forth in claim 4, since the information input by the outsider is transferred to the mobile phone of the person in charge, the office worker is immediately out of the office regardless of where and when. Can recognize visits. This frees you from the hassle of having to go to the site and work with visitors.
