  From here, the entrance / exit management system and entrance / exit management method according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of an entrance / exit management system according to the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the gate apparatus 2 is installed in the entrance / exit of the room 10 (three here) in the facility 1, and each gate apparatus 2 has an identification number. One gate device 2 is installed in the room 10 whose room number is “1”, and its identification number is “1”. One gate device 2 is installed in the room 10 whose room number is “2”, and its identification number is “2”. Two gate devices 2 are installed in the room 10 whose room number is “3”, and the identification numbers thereof are “3” and “4”, respectively.

  In the future, when it is necessary to clearly identify each room 10, the number of the room 10 is enclosed in parentheses. For example, a room 10 with a room number “1” is represented as a room 10 (1). Further, when it is necessary to clearly identify each gate device 2, the identification number of the gate device 2 is described in parentheses. For example, the gate device 2 with the identification number “1” is represented as a gate device 2 (1).

  In the entrance / exit management system according to the present invention, each gate device 2 must be unlocked before the user reaches the gate device 2 to unlock based on the arrangement of the gate devices 2. Reference gate information indicating the device 2 is stored.

  A user who enters and leaves the facility 1 possesses the IC card 3 as a token, and the IC card 3 has a log file in which the identification number of the released gate device 2 is stored in time series.

  Each gate device 2 collates the contents of the log file stored in the IC card 3 possessed by the user who uses the gate device 2 with the reference gate information, and controls the unlocking of the gate device 2. Each time the gate device 2 is unlocked, the identification number of the own device is additionally written in the log file of the IC card 3 possessed by the user.

  For example, in order for the user to reach the gate device 2 (3) through the official route, it is necessary to unlock the gate device 2 (2), so the reference gate of the gate device 2 (3) is required. The identification number “2” of the gate device 2 (2) is stored as information. The gate device 2 (3) reads the log file from the IC card 3 of the user who uses the gate device 2 (3), and only when the identification number of the last used gate device 2 is “2”. The gate device 2 (3) releases the lock.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the gate device 2. As shown in FIG. 2, each gate device 2 serves as a means for data communication with the IC card 3 possessed by the user, and includes a reader / writer 21a installed on the entrance side and a reader / writer 21b installed on the exit side. The gate device 2 includes a lock unit 22 for locking the gate device 2 and a gate control unit 20 for controlling the entire gate device 2. As information, an identification number 23 assigned to each gate device 2 and reference gate information used when entering the room 24a and reference gate information 24b used when leaving the room are stored.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the IC card 3 possessed by the user, and a log file 30 is provided in the IC card 3 possessed by the user. In the log file 30, the identification number 23 of the gate device 2 that the user has unlocked is stored in time series.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the log file 30. The log file 30 shown in FIG. 4 is a record file having a circular sequential organization structure, and the log file 30 stores the identification number 23 of the gate device 2. The first record number is assigned to the record 31 having the two records 31 and finally writing the identification number 23 of the gate device 2.

  In FIG. 4, # indicates the record number of the record 31, the identification number 23 of the gate device 2 written last is stored in the record 31 of # 1, and the identification number 23 of the gate device 2 written before that is The identification number 23 of the gate device 2 stored in the record 31 of # 2 and written in the oldest is stored in the record 31 having the largest record number among the records 31 in which the identification number 23 is stored.

  From here, the operation of the gate device 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. When the user enters the room, when the reader / writer 21a on the room side detects the IC card 3, the gate control means 20 of the gate device 2 reads all or part of the log file 30 from the IC card 3 using the reader / writer 21a. When the contents of the read log file 30 and the reference gate information 24a are collated and it is determined that the gate device 2 can be unlocked from the contents of the read log file 30, the reader / writer 21a is used to identify its own identification number. 23 is written in the log file 30 of the IC card 3 and a signal for releasing the lock is transmitted to the lock means 22 to release the lock of the gate device 2.

  When the user leaves the room, as in the case of entering the room, when the reader / writer 21b on the leaving side detects the IC card 3, the gate control means 20 of the gate device 2 reads all or one of the log files 30 from the detected IC card 3. The content of the read log file 30 and the reference gate information 24b, and when it is determined that the gate device 2 can be unlocked from the content of the read log file 30, the reader / writer 24b is used to The identification number 23 is written in the IC card 3 and a signal for releasing the lock is transmitted to the lock means 22 to unlock the gate device 2.

  In the present invention, the reference gate information 24a, b stored in the gate device 2 can be the identification number 23 of the gate device 2 to be unlocked one time before referring to a sketch of the room 10. For example, when entering the room 10 (2) using the gate device 2 (2), the user is always present in the room 10 (1) and is therefore present in the room 10 (1). Since the identification number 23 of the gate device 2 that must be unlocked is “1”, the reference gate information for entering the gate device 2 (2) is set to “1”.

  That is, when entering the room 10 (2) from the room 10 (1) using the gate device 2 (2), the identification number 23 stored last in the log file 30 of the IC card 3, for example, FIG. 4, the identification number 23 stored in the record 31 of # 1 is “1”, which is a condition for unlocking the gate device 2 (2).

  Further, when leaving the room, the user is always in the room 10 (3) when leaving the room 10 (3) from the room 10 (3) using the gate device 2 (3). In order to stay in the room 10 (3), the gate device 2 (3) or the gate device 2 (4) must be used, so the reference gate information 24b for leaving the gate device 2 (3) is “3” and “4” are set.

  Furthermore, when leaving the room 10 (2) from the room 10 (2) using the gate device 2 (2), the person stays in the room 10 (2) without entering or leaving the room 10 (3). Or, since the user has been in the room 10 (2) after leaving the room 10 (3), the reference gate information 24b of the gate device 2 (2) is “2”, “3” and “ Three of “4” are set.

  That is, when leaving the room 10 (3) to the room 10 (2) using the gate device 2 (3), the identification number 23 stored last in the log file 30 of the IC card 3, for example, FIG. , The identification number 23 stored in the record 31 of # 1 is either “3” or “4”, which is a condition for releasing the lock of the gate device 2 (3).

  Further, when the gate device 2 (2) is used to leave the room 10 (2) to the room 10 (1), the identification number 23 stored last in the log file 30 of the IC card 3, for example, FIG. , The identification number 23 stored in the record 31 of # 1 is any one of “2”, “3”, or “4”, which is a condition for unlocking the gate device 2 (2).

  When it is desired to improve the security at the time of entering the room, the reference gate information 24a for entering the room is not the identification number 23 of the gate device 2 that should be unlocked before but the gate device 2 that the user unlocks. The route information describing the identification number 23 and the order of the gate device 2 to be unlocked may be used. When entering the room, checking the route to the room can improve the security when entering the room.

  For example, when entering the room 10 (3), the gate device 2 that is unlocked by the time the gate device 2 (3) is used is the gate device 2 (1) and the gate device 2 (2). The order of the gate device 2 (1) is first, followed by the gate device 2 (2). At this time, the reference gate information 24 a for entering the gate device 2 (3) is set to “21” in reverse order using the identification number 23 of the gate device 2 (1) and the gate device 2 (2).

  At this time, when leaving the room 10 (3) to the room 10 (2) using the gate device 2 (3), the identification number 23 stored last in the log file 30 of the IC card 3 is “2”. Thus, the condition that the gate device 2 (3) releases the gate device 2 is that the previous identification number 23 is “1”.

  For example, in FIG. 4, the identification number 23 stored in the record 31 of # 1 is “2” and the identification number 23 stored in the record 31 of # 2 is “1”. (3) is a condition for releasing the lock.

  The reference gate information 24a for entering the room is included in the route information when the route information describing the identification number 23 and the order of the gate device 2 to be released before reaching the gate device 2 to be unlocked by the user is obtained. The number of identification numbers may be arbitrary. For example, even in a case where five gate devices 2 must be used before one gate device 2 is used, the reference gate information includes the identification numbers 23 of the three gate devices 2 used immediately before That order may be sufficient. As a matter of course, when there are a plurality of routes before the user reaches the gate device 2 to be unlocked, a plurality of route information is stored in the reference gate information 24a for entering the room.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, security can be further enhanced by combining with another user authentication means. For example, in addition to the verification of the contents of the log file 30, the gate device 2 may have a password verification function or a biometric authentication function, and when the verification of the contents of the log file 30 fails, a warning sound is transmitted. May be.

  In this case, successful password verification or biometric authentication and verification of the contents of the log file 30 are conditions for unlocking the gate device 2.

  From here, the procedure of the entrance / exit management method according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the entrance / exit management method. The first step S1 of this procedure is a step in which the gate device detects a token possessed by the user. For example, in the entrance / exit management system shown in FIG. 1, the reader / writer 21a detects the IC card 3 when entering the room, and the reader / writer 21b detects the IC card 3 when leaving the room.

  The next step S2 is a step in which the gate device reads the contents of the log in which the identification number of the gate device used by the user is stored in time series from the token detected in step S1. For example, in the entrance / exit management system shown in FIG. 1, the gate device 2 reads the contents of the log file 30 from the IC card 3.

  The next step S3 is a step of collating the contents of the log file read in step S2. In the entrance / exit management system shown in FIG. 1, the identification number 23 of the gate device 2 to be released one time before, or the identification of the gate device 2 to be released before reaching the gate device 2 to be released by the user The reference gate information 24a or 24b in which the number 23 and route information indicating the order thereof are described and the contents of the log file 30 are collated.

  In step S4, when the log contents are successfully verified, the process proceeds to step S4. In step S4, the gate device writes its own identification number in the token owned by the user, and then the gate device releases the lock. This procedure ends.

  If the verification of the log contents fails in step S5, the process proceeds to step S5. In step S5, the gate device does not write its own identification number in the token owned by the user and the verification fails. This procedure is terminated without releasing the lock and the gate device releases the lock.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the log of the gate device released by the user is stored in the token possessed by the user, and the release of the gate device is controlled using this log, so that the token is previously stored in the token. It is no longer necessary to store information for unlocking the gate device, and if there are multiple gate devices installed in the facility, the gate device lock can be locked in consideration of the gate device unlock order. Release can be controlled.
