In all of the conventional access management devices, the operation for the personal authentication terminal is only the operation from the center device, and the operation authority level is not open to users such as tenants at all. For this reason, the personal authentication terminal cannot be operated at the tenant level. For example, even when the setting of the personal authentication terminal unique to the tenant is temporarily changed and the door is unlocked temporarily, there is an inconvenience that the center device having the operation authority must be operated one by one. That is, although it is a user-specific door, it can be operated only from the building-sharing center device, which is inconvenient.
In addition, personal traffic is often collectively managed by the center device. When setting whether to perform attendance / exit management for traffic for each tenant, the center device must create the function for each tenant. In addition to being expensive, it was difficult to meet the demands for tenant-specific special functions. The same applies to traffic management for each tenant unit.

  This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned subject, and prepares for every user with respect to the electric lock and terminal controller which control the door which the said user enters / exits for every user, such as a tenant. Provided is an entry / exit management device that can be controlled and set by an operation terminal.

In the access control apparatus according to the present invention, a center apparatus, a plurality of personal authentication terminals, a plurality of electric locks, a plurality of terminal controllers, etc., which are respectively connected to the center apparatus and a network and installed on each floor of the building, in the device of above arrangement, is connected to the center device, and sets the grouping from the center device to tenants as a unit, comprising a plurality of user operation terminal associated with the group, the user operation terminal associated to the group The ID card that can be used with the personal authentication terminal in the group can be operated on the personal authentication terminal in the group, such as locking / unlocking control, operation mode setting, and pass / fail setting operation for each individual. It can be issued to, and out of the tenant its own authority and responsibility, to the room in which the tenant belongs Regarding, in which to be able to set the tenant its own security level.

  According to the present invention, the user's operation such as a tenant can set the security level of the door used only by the user, and the door traffic information used by the user can be edited and operated on the user operation terminal. it can. In addition, user-specific functions such as attendance and attendance management can be easily realized.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram showing a configuration of an entire entrance / exit management device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 illustrates in detail a part of the configuration of the access management device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a table showing an example of the relationship between each terminal name and IP address of the access control device, and FIG. 4 shows an example of the relationship between the user operation terminal set by the center device and the terminal controller. It is a table.

  In FIG. 1, the access management apparatus is mainly connected to the center apparatus 11 and the center apparatus 11, and sets grouping by the center apparatus 11 with a tenant or the like as one unit, and a plurality of user operation terminals associated with the group. 12, a network 13, a plurality of terminal controllers 14, a plurality of electric locks 15, and a plurality of personal authentication terminals 16 such as card readers. A plurality of terminal controllers 14, a plurality of electric locks 15, and a plurality of personal authentication terminals 16 are installed on each floor of the building.

  From the user operation terminal associated with the group, the user operation terminal 12 performs locking / unlocking control, operation mode setting, and pass / no-go setting operation for each individual on the personal authentication terminals 16 in the group. Operable. Therefore, the access control apparatus according to the present invention can perform the following. An ID card that can be used by a personal authentication terminal in the group can be issued by the user operation terminal 12. Also, the tenant's own security level can be set for entering and exiting the room to which the tenant belongs, by the tenant's own authority / responsibility. This can be set only for personal authentication terminals related to tenants, so that the security level of the entire building is not affected. The authentication result (passage) at the personal authentication terminal 16 set at the user operation terminal 12 is transmitted to the center apparatus 11 and the user operation terminal. In addition, for each tenant, the tenant's traffic (going to work / leaving, the occupancy status of the room, etc.) can be managed. That is, there are tenants who manage attendance and work, and there are tenants that do not manage, so it is easy to provide unique service functions for each tenant. Operation instructions / responses such as control and setting as described above are performed by communication between the user operation terminal 12 and the center apparatus 11. Further, when the operation history is recorded in the center device 11, it is possible to record what operation is performed on which user operation terminal.

As shown in detail in FIG. 2, in addition to the center device 11, for example, the user operation terminal 12a is used to control the electric lock 15 on the floor via the terminal controller 14 installed on the second and third floors. Or an ID card that can be used by the personal authentication terminal 16 can be configured.
First, the user operation terminal 12 connected to the network 13 is registered. For example, the IP address or the like may be registered, and the IP address of each terminal is registered in the center device 11 as shown in FIG. The IP address is an identification number for identifying the terminal. The center device 11 is set so that communication is possible only with devices and devices having registered IP addresses.

FIG. 4 is a table showing the relationship between the user operation terminal 12 set in the center apparatus 11 and the terminal controller 14 that can be operated on the user operation terminal. Although it is described by name for explanation, in the center device 11, it is stored and set by the IP address or the like.
For example, in the user operation terminal # 1, it means a setting capable of communicating only with the terminal controller 14 installed on the second floor and the third floor. Similarly, the user operation terminal # 2 is set to be able to communicate only with the terminal controller 14 installed on the third to eighth floors. This user operation terminal # 2 also means that communication with the terminal controller 14 installed on the second and third floors is not possible. As described above, by grouping the terminals in the center device 11, it is possible to arbitrarily set a terminal group capable of communication such as for each tenant. Needless to say, the center device 11 is configured to be able to communicate with all terminals, as in the conventional example.

When the user operation terminal 12 is to perform a setting operation on the terminal controller 14, first, the request is made to the center apparatus 11. The center apparatus 11 refers to the table shown in FIG. 4 to determine whether or not the user operation terminal 12 can be operated by the terminal controller 14. If possible, execute the request to the terminal controller 14. To do. If the operation is not possible, a message indicating that the operation is not possible is transmitted to the user operation terminal 12.
As a result, since terminals that can communicate with the user operation terminal 12 can be limited, an ID card that can be used in the personal authentication terminal 16 connected to the terminal controller 14 can be registered in the user operation terminal 12. It becomes. Moreover, since the user operation terminal 12 that can be operated with respect to the terminal controller 14 can be limited, the operation mode (always locked or normally unlocked) of the terminal controller 14 can be set from the user operation terminal 12. .

On the other hand, the traffic information generated by the operation at the personal authentication terminal 16 is transmitted to the center apparatus 11 and also to the user operation terminal 12 associated with the terminal controller 14 as shown in FIG. Thereby, for example, for each tenant, it is possible to grasp the operation of the electric lock 15 related to the tenant (such as entering and leaving the room), that is, traffic information. can do.
Further, since the operation at the user operation terminal 12 is performed via the center device 11, the center device 11 can grasp what operation is performed at which user operation terminal 12.
