JP4660262B2 - Personal identification data registration or deletion device for access control system - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for registering or deleting personal identification data in an access management system in which only a small number of people enter and exit such as homes and small offices.

  An entry / exit management system is disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example.

  Conventionally, access control systems using personal identification data are mainly used in facilities that need to prevent leakage of corporate information such as important places in laboratories and offices, or facilities that have a certain degree of risk such as some factories. It was used.

  The personal identification data used includes personal identification (ID) cards such as magnetic cards and IC (Integrated Circuit) cards, and biometric features of individuals such as fingerprints, voiceprints, irises, and vein patterns.

  As security awareness grows and spreads, the access control system is used not only in specific companies and factories, but also in small offices, general houses, condominiums, and the like. In addition to the advancement of unauthorized unlocking technology for mechanical locks such as cam feeding, the personality of the mechanical key, which is inherently easy to duplicate, feels more anxious than general convenience. This is the reason behind this.

  The access control system using personal identification data is highly regarded for its security and usefulness in managing the access status, but it is difficult to say that it is widely used in small offices, stores, general houses and condominiums. . One of the reasons is that the installation cost is higher than that of a mechanical lock, and the other is that the handling is complicated.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the complexity of handling, which is one of the factors hindering the spread of small-scale access control systems, and to promote the spread of access control systems.

  In the first place, the entry / exit management system is not particularly troublesome for normal handling and does not require specialized knowledge, but it has become difficult to read fingerprints because the ID card has been lost or the finger has been scratched. Despite the fact that the need for personal identification data is relatively frequent, such as when the identification data needs to be re-registered, employees leave the company, or the family has died, many conventional systems A personal computer (PC) is connected to the PC, and personal identification data is registered and deleted by operating on the screen. This tends to be perceived as bothersome and specialized in small systems that do not have specialized operators. It was in.

The personal identification data registration or deletion device of the access control system characterized by the above can be obtained.

  According to the present invention, the procedure for registering or deleting personal identification data can be simplified, and the identification data of a specific individual can be registered or deleted easily and reliably without requiring a management PC.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, a general access control system will be described with reference to FIG. 1 for better understanding of the present invention.

  The entry / exit management system of FIG. 1 is an entry / exit management system using a contactless card as a personal identification medium, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the entry / exit management system of FIG.

  As described above, as personal identification media, in addition to contactless cards, ID cards such as magnetic cards and biometric features such as fingerprints and vein patterns are used, but the system configuration and effects are almost the same.

  In FIG. 1, 1 is a door which is an entrance of a managed room, 2 is a contactless card reader, and 3 is an electric lock installed on the door.

  A closer is attached to the door 1 so that the opened door closes naturally. This is to prevent a person from passing through and opening the door later.

  The non-contact card reader 2 is installed at a height at which a card in the vicinity of the door is easily held, generally 1200 mm to 1500 mm from the floor surface.

  In FIG. 2, 2 is a contactless card reader, 22 is a contactless card registered in the system, 23 is a controller, 3 is an electric lock attached to the door, and 5 is a management PC.

  The non-contact card reader 1 is in a posture to constantly read card data, reads the data of the approached card almost instantaneously, and transmits the data to the controller 23. The controller 23 stores registered card data therein, and collates and determines whether the card data sent from the card reader 2 is already registered. As a result of the determination, if the sent card data is already registered and is set to be able to pass through the door 1 at present, the electric lock 3 is driven for a certain period of time to unlock the card data obtained. Transmit to the management PC 5. The management PC 5 searches for the card holder from the card data and displays it on the screen.

  The time for which the controller 23 drives the electric lock 3 is set to several seconds to several tens of seconds. When the driving time of the electric lock 3 elapses, the electric lock 3 is locked again. In many of such systems, in addition to the cardholder's pass information, it is possible to display the opening of the door, the failure of the electric lock, the opening of the door, and the like.

  Further, there is a simple system in which the controller 23 is omitted and the card reader 2 or the management PC 5 collates card data, and there is a system in which the electric lock 3 is driven by the card reader 2 or the management PC 5.

  In this system, the management PC 5 is always connected, and registration and deletion of personal identification data are performed from the management software registration and deletion screen. In such a system, since there are many people who handle personal identification data, a device for efficiently registering and deleting a large amount is provided. In the case of a system of a certain scale or larger, it is easy to use.

  However, when such a system is used in general houses, condominiums, small offices, stores, etc., there is a disadvantage that the installation cost becomes relatively high. Of course, the PC 5 may be connected only when registration and deletion are performed, but software stored in the PC 5 is necessary, and it takes time to connect the PC 5, so it is difficult to delete the card immediately.

  Also, in condominiums etc., you can leave the PC 5 containing software that can be registered and deleted, and the administrator can operate it, but it is troublesome and the administrator always comes at night etc. However, as a result, it may take a long time to delete the card when it is lost, etc., and may deteriorate the advanced security performance of the access control system.

  Furthermore, the registration and deletion of personal identification data is not an operation that is frequently performed every day, so it is easy to forget the operation method in general homes where there is no specialized operator, and it is easier and more error-prone to spread the card system. There is a need for a method for registering and deleting personal identification data.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a method and apparatus for a user to easily register or delete personal identification data, and even when an entry / exit management system is installed in a personal residence, entry / exit management can be performed promptly. It is a system.

  FIG. 3 is an access control system (card system) according to the present invention using a contactless card as a personal identification medium, and FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the access control system (card system) of FIG.

  In FIG. 3, 1 is a door that is an entrance of a room such as an apartment, 32 is an antenna part of a non-contact card reader, and 3 is an electric lock installed on the door 1.

  Although the door 1 is locked by the electric lock 3, it can be freely opened from the inside by turning a knob or the like, but a non-contact card reader is also provided on the inside of the door. It may be a system that requires a card.

  In FIG. 4, 32 is an antenna part of the contactless card reader, 42 is a control part of the contactless card reader installed indoors, and 3 is an electric lock installed on the door 1.

  The antenna unit 32 and the control unit 42 and the electric lock 3 and the control unit 42 are connected by the electric wire 4 for power supply and communication.

  The control unit 42 of the non-contact card reader has the following functions.

(1) Non-contact card registration or deletion function (detailed below).
(2) A function of checking the data of the contactless card with the registered data, and unlocking the electric lock 3 for a predetermined time in the case of the registered data.
(3) A function of receiving an unlocking signal of the electric lock 3 and an opening signal of the door 1.
(4) A function that issues an alarm when the electric lock is broken, when the door 1 is opened, or when the door 1 is opened.
(5) Entrance record keeping function (can be confirmed on the screen when connected to the PC, and is not an indispensable element for implementing the present invention).
(6) Power backup battery at power failure.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a registration or deletion operation unit 50, which is a feature of the present invention and is provided in the control unit 42 (FIG. 4).

  In the registration or deletion operation unit 50 shown in FIG. 5, reference numeral 51 denotes a selection switch including a rotary switch for selecting a person for registering or deleting personal identification data. In FIG. Reference numeral 52 denotes a start switch including a push button for starting registration or deletion. These switches are provided in the control unit 42 (FIG. 4) as described above.

  The operation of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  When registering personal identification data of a certain individual, first the selection switch 51 is turned to match the person who wants to register. The selection switch 51 is assigned a number indicating an individual, but a mistake can be prevented by attaching a sticker in which the personal name is written at the switch stop position.

  Next, a registration switch is started by pressing a start switch (push button switch) 52 for starting registration or deletion. After that, when a card to be registered is held over the antenna unit 32 of the card reader for a certain period of time (set from 10 seconds to several tens of seconds) and the card data is read, it is used as personal identification data of the registered individual. Is set. If the start switch (push button) 52 for starting registration or deletion is illuminated, it can be turned on for a certain period of time that can be registered, or a buzzer can sound for a certain period of time that can be registered. .

  If personal identification data has already been set for the individual to be registered, the data newly read into the card reader by the above operation is overwritten, and the personal identification data is changed.

  When deleting the personal identification data of a certain person, it is set when a certain period of time elapses without holding the card over the antenna unit 32 of the card reader after pressing the start switch (push button) 52 for starting registration or deletion. The personal identification data that had been deleted is deleted. In this example, a contactless card is used as personal identification data. However, data can be registered or deleted by a similar operation in other types of ID cards and systems using biometric features such as fingerprints and irises. However, it goes without saying that the system using biometric features requires that the person is present when performing registration or deletion.

  In FIG. 5, a rotary switch is used for the selection switch 51 for selecting a person to register and delete personal identification data. This is convenient and easy to understand when there are several persons to select.

  If the number of people to be selected is more and several tens, more selections can be made with fewer switches by using dip switches.

  FIG. 6 shows another registration or deletion operation unit used in place of the registration or deletion operation unit 50 of FIG. The registration or deletion operation unit 50 in FIG. 6 is a registration or deletion operation unit using a dip switch.

  In FIG. 6, as 51, registration and deletion of up to 31 people are possible using five switches 61-65.

  By increasing the number of switches, this method can increase the number of people that can be registered and deleted with a geometric series, and is effective for a system with a relatively large number of people.

  FIG. 7 shows still another registration or deletion operation unit used in place of the registration or deletion operation unit 50 of FIG. The registration / deletion operation unit 50 in FIG. 7 is a registration / deletion operation unit that doubles as a selection switch for selecting a person to register or delete personal identification data and a start switch for starting registration or deletion.

  In FIG. 7, reference numerals 51-1 to 51-5 denote push button switches that serve as selection switches for selecting a person to be registered or deleted and a start switch (push button) for starting registration or deletion. When the push button is pressed, the person's card can be registered or deleted for a certain period of time.

  Reference numerals 71-1 to 71-5 are plates for writing each name and the like, and this method is easy to handle in an ordinary home or condominium where only a few people select, and there are few errors. Furthermore, if the switch is illuminated as described above or the buzzer is sounded for a certain period of time, mistakes can be prevented.

  Thus, by using the present invention, not only can the registration or deletion of personal identification data be performed with the same flow of operations, but also card registration or deletion can be performed by the controller 42 (FIG. 4) of the card reader. Since it can be done, when the card is lost, the card can be quickly made unusable to prevent a crime caused by the found card. In addition, since the cost of adding the present invention is lower than that of the prior art, it is possible to provide a small-scale entrance / exit management system that is easier to handle and low in cost and high in security performance.

It is the figure which showed the general access control system. It is a block diagram of the access control system of FIG. It is the figure which showed the access control system (card system) by one Example of this invention. It is a block diagram of the access control system (card system) of FIG. It is a figure which shows the registration or deletion operation part which is the characteristic of this invention and is provided in the control part of the entrance / exit management system of FIG. It is a figure which shows the other registration or deletion operation part used instead of the registration or deletion operation part of FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing still another registration or deletion operation unit used in place of the registration or deletion operation unit of FIG. 5.
