Description

  The present invention relates to a technique related to a locker room system, and more specifically, to a technique that can prevent theft and loss of articles easily and efficiently without taking time and effort.

  In recent years, articles lent to employees and customers have been lost or stolen, and the articles can be put on a net auction and get into the hands of third parties. For example, in the case of a uniform that a company lends to an employee, since the creditworthiness of the company is embodied in the uniform, a person wearing the uniform can enter and leave the office of the company. In other words, theft of uniforms can be used not only for the loss of uniforms but also for second and third crimes.

There have been proposals related to management of rental items that can effectively solve the problem of loss of rental items (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Moreover, the proposal regarding the lockable cupboard which can be used for management of rental goods is also made (for example, refer patent document 2).

  However, the conventional management of rented goods is done by storing the tag information of the rented goods in association with the identification information for identifying the customer at the lending / return front, registering the rented goods, and registering them in the stored identification information when checking out. Based on the tag information and the contents of each return registration, it is determined whether or not all the items lent to the customer have been returned. Therefore, people must be involved in the collection of goods, etc., and there must be a person who accepts the return according to the convenience of the person who returns the article (must wait), which is very inefficient It is.

In addition, the conventional lock cabinet has a bar code label for identifying a locker address for each hangar unit of the lock cabinet, and the bar code reader capable of outputting data to the mobile communication terminal device reads the bar. The code information is transmitted to the lock management device through the mobile communication terminal device and the user communication means, thereby determining whether the code is stored and acquiring information about the stored item. Therefore, each time an article is returned, the user must read a barcode label that specifies a locker address, and transmit the read barcode information to the management device, which is very troublesome.

The employee U who entered the locker room 20 stores the uniform 40 he / she wears in the hangar 31 of the cupboard 30 (S80).
When the uniform 40 is stored in the hangar 31, the second sensor 33 reads the uniform number from the IC tag 41 of the uniform 40 (S90). The second sensor 33 transmits the read uniform number to the management terminal 10.
The management terminal 10 receives the uniform number transmitted from the second sensor 33 at the second article ID acquisition unit 11 (S100).

The management terminal 10 that has received the uniform number from the second sensor 33 reads the uniform number received from the first sensor 23 and stored in the storage unit DB1, and matches the uniform number received from the second sensor 33. It is determined whether or not (S110).
When it is determined that the uniform number received from the second sensor 33 matches the uniform number received from the first sensor 23, the management terminal 10 uses the unlock signal transmitting unit 12A to send the unlock signal to the door. In addition to the transmission to the key controller 22 (S120), the stored uniform number is deleted from the storage unit DB1.

Upon receiving the unlock signal from the management terminal 10, the door key controller 22 performs unlock control of the door 21 (S130), the door 21 is unlocked (S140), and the employee U opens and closes the door 21. (S150) It becomes possible to leave the locker room 20.
After the employee U leaves the locker room 20, the door 21 is locked again (S160).

Here, you may comprise so that the unlocking state (S140) of the door 21 may be limited to fixed time. That is, as described above, the door key controller 22 receives the unlock signal from the management terminal 10 and controls the unlocking of the door 21. When a predetermined time elapses from this unlocking control, the door 21 is opened and closed. Regardless of whether or not, the door key controller 22 controls the locking of the door 21. According to this configuration, it is possible to prevent the door 21 from being left unlocked for a long time.
Note that the passage of the predetermined time may be determined by means in the door key controller 22, or may be determined by means in the management terminal 10 and notified to the door key controller 22. Good.

  According to the embodiment described above, when the uniform number read by the second sensor 33 is stored in the storage unit DB1, that is, the uniform 40 worn by the employee U when entering the locker room 20 is the cupboard. When stored in 30, the door 21 can be unlocked. Therefore, the employee U cannot leave the room unless the uniform 40 worn when entering the locker room 20 is stored in the cupboard 30. Further, even when the uniform worn at the time of entering the room and the uniform stored in the cupboard 30 are different, the door 21 is not unlocked, and the employee U cannot leave the locker room 20.

  In the embodiment described above, the management terminal 10 temporarily stores the uniform number read by the first sensor 23 in the storage unit DB1, and stores the uniform number read by the second sensor 33. When it is stored in the part DB1, that is, when it is determined that the uniform number read by the second sensor 33 matches the uniform number read by the first sensor 33, the unlock signal is sent to the door key controller 22. The transmitted uniform number is deleted from the storage unit DB1.

  On the other hand, the storage method of the uniform number in the storage unit DB1 is stored in advance in association with the return information before the employee U visits the locker room 20, as shown in FIG. It may be. That is, for example, when the management terminal 10 determines that the uniform number read by the second sensor 33 is stored in the storage unit DB1, the management terminal 10 transmits the unlock signal to the door key controller 22 and is read. The return information stored in association with the uniform number may be updated to “returned”.

The locker room system does not read the uniform number with the first sensor 23 and transmits it to the management terminal 10 when entering the room, for example, when the second sensor 33 senses the tag attached to the article, May be transmitted to the door key controller 22. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the processing of (S10) to (S50) and (S70) in FIG. 6 may be omitted. Here, when the second sensor 33 senses the tag (S91), it transmits a message to that effect to the management terminal 10. When the management terminal 10 receives the notification of tag detection from the second sensor 33 (S101), the management terminal 10 transmits an unlock signal to the door key controller 22 (S120).
Thus, the door for entering the locker room 20 is not locked, and may be configured so that the employee U can open it by operating the handle 21A (the locker room 20 can be freely entered). . However, in this case, the entrance door must be configured such that it cannot be opened from the inside of the locker room 20 such that the exit from the entrance door is impossible.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with a focus on differences from the above-described embodiment.
In the present embodiment, the door 21 is unlocked when the employee U enters or leaves the locker room 20 based on the employee number of the employee U.
In the storage unit DB1, before the employee U visits the locker room 20 to return the uniform 40, as shown in FIG. The uniform number is stored.

  FIG. 8 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of the present embodiment. In addition, description is abbreviate | omitted about the process (S130)-(S160) common to embodiment shown in FIG.

(When entering the room)
When the employee U enters the locker room 20, the user ID reader 24 reads the employee number of the employee U (T10) and transmits it to the management terminal 10.
The management terminal 10 receives the employee number of the employee U from the user ID reader 24 (T20), and determines whether this employee number is stored in the storage unit DB1 (T25).
The management terminal 10 transmits an unlock signal to the door key controller 22 only when it is determined that the received user ID is stored in the storage DB 1 (S30).

(When leaving the room)
When receiving the uniform number from the two sensors 33 (S100), the management terminal 10 determines whether or not this uniform number is stored in the storage unit DB1 in association with the employee number received from the user ID reader 24. (T110).
Only when the management terminal 10 determines that the uniform number received from the second sensor 33 is stored in the storage unit DB1 in association with the employee number received from the user ID reader 24, the unlocking signal is displayed on the door. It transmits to the key controller 22 (S120).

  When the management terminal 10 determines that the uniform number received from the second sensor 33 is stored in the storage unit DB1 in association with the employee number received from the user ID reader 24, the management terminal 10 uses the uniform number and the usage number. The person ID is deleted from the storage unit DB1. Alternatively, in the storage unit DB1, the uniform number is stored in association with the return information in addition to the employee number, and the management terminal 10 changes the return information from “unreturned” to “returned” when the above determination is made. You may comprise so that it may update.

  According to the embodiment described above, when entering the room, the door 21 can be unlocked only when the employee number of the employee who visited the locker room 20 is stored in the storage unit DB1. That is, for example, an employee who is not scheduled to enter the locker room 20, such as an employee who has not been given a uniform, cannot enter the locker room 20.

  When leaving the room, the door 21 is unlocked only when the employee number of the employee who entered the locker room 20 is stored in the storage unit DB1 in association with the uniform number of the uniform 40 returned to the cupboard 30. Employee U can then leave the room. That is, the employee can leave the locker room 20 only when the uniform loaned to himself / herself is returned, for example, even if the uniform loaned to another person is returned, the employee cannot leave the room. .

Next, still another embodiment of the present invention will be described with a focus on differences from the above-described embodiment.
In the present embodiment, the door 21 is unlocked only when the door 32 of the cupboard 30 in which the uniform 40 is stored is locked.
FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of the present embodiment. In addition, description is abbreviate | omitted about the process (S10)-(S70) (S140)-(S160) common to embodiment shown in FIG.

  When the employee U stores the uniform 40 in the cupboard 30, the management terminal 10 receives the uniform number of the uniform 40 from the second sensor 33 (S100). Moreover, if the employee U locks the door 32 of the cupboard 30 in the state which stored the uniform 40, the management terminal 10 will receive locking information from the locking information transmission part 35 (U105).

  Here, the locking information transmitting unit 35 is configured to transmit the locking information to the management terminal 10 only when the uniform 40 is stored in the hangar 31 of the cupboard 30. Therefore, for example, when the employee U stores the uniform 40 in the hangar 31 and then removes the uniform from the hangar 41 and locks the door 32, the locking information is not transmitted to the management terminal 10. In other words, the second sensor 33 always senses the uniform number in the hangar 31 (at regular time intervals), and when the uniform number is read, notifies the locking information transmission unit 35 that it has been stored and reads the uniform number. If it is not possible (for example, when the uniform 40 is taken out from the storage 31), the lock information transmitting unit 35 is notified that it is not stored. With this configuration, the locking information transmission unit 35 transmits the locking information to the management terminal 10 only when the door 32 is locked while the second sensor 33 is sensing the IC tag 41.

  The management terminal 10 determines whether a uniform number and locking information are received (U110). Only when the uniform number and the lock information are received as a result of the determination, the management terminal 10 transmits an unlock signal to the door key controller 22 (S120), and the door key controller 22 performs the unlock control of the door 21. Perform (S130).

  According to the embodiment described above, only when the door 32 is locked in a state where the uniform 40 is stored in the cupboard 30, the door 21 can be unlocked and the employee U can leave the room.

Next, still another embodiment of the present invention will be described with a focus on differences from the above-described embodiment.
In the present embodiment, when the employee U approaches the door 21 while leaving the locker room 20 while wearing a uniform, the unlocking of the door 21 is prohibited, that is, the door 21 is locked.

  In addition, as an example where the employee U approaches the door 21 while wearing a uniform, there is a case where the employee U wears the uniform worn when entering the locker room 20 and tries to leave the room. Moreover, the uniform which the employee U was wearing at the time of entering the locker room 20 may be temporarily stored in the cupboard 30 and then taken out from the cupboard 30 and worn. Furthermore, after storing the uniform that the employee U was wearing when entering the room in the cupboard 30, another uniform existing in the locker room 20, for example, another employee stored (returned) in the cupboard. There are times when you want to take out a uniform.

FIG. 10 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of the present embodiment. In addition, description is abbreviate | omitted about the process (S10)-(S110) which is common in embodiment shown in FIG.
As described above, when the employee U stores the uniform 40 in the cupboard 30, the management terminal 10 transmits an unlock signal to the door key controller 22 (S120). The door key controller 22 that has received the unlock signal controls the door 21 to be unlocked (S130). As a result, the door 21 is unlocked (S140).
Since the unlocked door 21 is opened by operating the handle 21 </ b> B, the employee U can leave the locker room 20 in this state.

  However, when the employee U approaches the unlocked door 21 to leave the locker room 20 while wearing the uniform, the third sensor 25 reads the uniform number from the IC tag of the uniform worn by the employee U. (V131), it transmits to the management terminal 10.

  When receiving the uniform number from the third sensor 25, the management terminal 10 stores the uniform number in the storage unit DB1 (V132) and transmits an unlocking prohibition signal to the door key controller 22 (V133). The door key controller 22 that has received the unlocking prohibition signal controls the locking of the door 21 (V134). As a result, the door 21 is locked (V135).

Since the locked door 21 does not open even if the handle 21B is operated, the employee U cannot leave the locker room 20 in this state. Therefore, when the uniform worn by the employee U when approaching the door 21 is stored in the cupboard 30 (V136), the second sensor 33 reads the uniform number (V137).
When receiving the uniform number from the second sensor 33 (V138), the management terminal 10 determines whether this uniform number is stored in the storage unit DB1 (V139). The management terminal 10 transmits the unlock signal to the door key controller 22 only when it is determined that the uniform number is stored in the storage unit DB1 (V140).

  The door key controller 22 that has received the unlock signal from the management terminal 10 performs the unlock control of the door 21 (V141). As a result, the door 21 is unlocked (S140). Thereafter, when the employee U operates the handle 21B of the door 21 to leave the locker room 20 without wearing a uniform, the door 21 is opened and closed, and the employee U can leave the locker room 20 (S150). ). Thereafter, the door 21 is locked (S160).

  According to the embodiment described above, even if the door 21 is unlocked, if the employee U tries to leave the locker room 20 while wearing a uniform, the door 21 is prohibited from being unlocked, that is, locked. can do.

Next, still another embodiment of the present invention will be described with a focus on differences from the above-described embodiment.
In the present embodiment, the unlocking information necessary for unlocking the door 21 is notified to the employee U, and the door key controller 22 acquires the unlocking information so that the door 21 is unlocked. It is a thing.
FIG. 11 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of the present embodiment. Note that the description of processes (S10) to (S90) common to the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is omitted.

  As described above, when the employee U stores the uniform 40 in the cupboard 30, the management terminal 10 receives the uniform number from the second sensor 33 (S100), and determines whether the door 21 can be unlocked (S110).

Here, the management terminal 10 determines the unlock number only when it is determined that the received uniform number is stored in the storage unit DB1 (W111). The unlock number is an example of unlock information, and here, it is a combination of four-digit numbers.
The management terminal 10 transmits the determined unlock number to the cupboard 30 and the door key controller 22 (W112).

The cupboard 30 displays the received unlock number on the display unit 36 (W113). FIG. 5A shows that the unlock number “1234” is displayed on the display unit 36.
On the other hand, the door key controller 22 stores the received unlock number in its internal storage means (not shown) (W114).

  The employee U inputs the unlock number “1234” displayed on the display unit 36 to the door unlock number input unit 26 (W115). The input unlock number is notified from the door unlock number input unit 26 to the door key controller 22.

When the door key controller 22 acquires the unlock number from the door unlock number input unit 26 (W116), the acquired unlock number matches the unlock number received and stored from the management terminal 10. It is determined whether or not to perform (W117). As a result of the determination, the door key controller 22 performs unlocking control of the door 21 only when the two match (S130). As a result, the door 21 is unlocked (S140), and the employee U can open and close the door 21 and leave the locker room 20 (S150). Thereafter, the door 21 is locked (S160).
The door key controller 22 deletes the unlock number received and stored from the management terminal 10 from the storage unit when performing the unlock control of the door 21.

  According to the embodiment described above, the employee U is allowed to view the unlocking number necessary for unlocking the door 21, and the door 21 is unlocked only when the unlocking number is input from the input device 26. be able to.

  The management terminal 10 may be configured to display the determined unlock number on the display unit 27 instead of displaying on the display unit 36, or on both the display units 27 and 36. Good.

  As mentioned above, although various embodiment was described about the storage method to storage part DB1 of a uniform number, as shown in FIG.3 (c), about storage method to storage part DB1 of a uniform number, cupboard ID and You may make it memorize | store in correlation. That is, for example, when the employee U returns the uniform 40 to the cupboard 30, the management terminal 10 receives the uniform number of the uniform 40 from the second sensor 33 of the cupboard 30, and the cupboard of the cupboard 30 from means not shown. Receive the ID. The management terminal 10 associates the received uniform number with the cupboard ID and stores them in the storage unit DB1 and transmits an unlock signal to the door key controller 22.

  In addition to the above-described embodiments, there are various variations on the storage method of the uniform number returned to the storage unit DB1 and the transmission method of the unlocking signal. You may combine. For example, the management terminal 10 stores the uniform number received from the first sensor 23 in the storage unit DB1, and when the uniform number is received together with the cupboard ID from the cupboard 30, the uniform number is stored in the storage unit DB1. When it is determined that the received uniform number is stored in association with the stored uniform number, an unlock signal may be transmitted to the door key controller 22. Alternatively, the uniform number may be stored in association with the employee number and the cupboard ID. That is, the uniform number is stored in the storage unit DB1 in association with the employee number, and the management terminal 10 receives the uniform number and the cupboard ID from the cupboard 30, and associates the cupboard ID with the stored uniform number. The unlocking signal may be transmitted to the door key controller 22 while being stored.
