  The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In each drawing, the same or corresponding parts are denoted by the same reference numerals. The overlapping description is simplified or omitted as appropriate.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of an entrance / exit management system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
The main part of the entrance / exit management system is composed of the center device 1 and the plurality of local controllers 2. Each local controller 2 is connected to the center apparatus 1 via a predetermined communication line 3. The local controllers 2 are connected to each other (other local controllers 2) via the communication line 3.

  In a building (a part or all of a building or a group of buildings) provided with this entrance / exit management system, a door 5 with a lock device 4 is installed at the entrance / exit of a room where entry / exit is desired to be restricted to a predetermined person. The lock device 4 is composed of, for example, an electric lock or an electronic lock. Although FIG. 1 shows a case where the local controller 2 is provided for each door 5, a plurality of doors 5 (locking devices 4) may be connected to the local controller 2.

In addition to the lock device 4, an input device 6 is connected to the local controller 2.
The input device 6 is provided for each door 5. The input device 6 is installed in the vicinity of the corresponding door 5 (for example, a wall surface adjacent to the door 5).

  The input device 6 is a device for a person who wants to enter a room to input predetermined information necessary for entering the room. The input device 6 includes, for example, a reader for reading ID information stored in a predetermined card or the like, a reader for reading pattern information such as a fingerprint, and the like. When personal information (information for identifying an individual (for example, the above-mentioned ID information or fingerprint pattern information)) is input, the input device 6 uses the input personal information to identify the own device. It is transmitted to the local controller 2 together with the device information.

The local controller 2 includes information control means 7, storage means 8, authentication means 9, lock control means 10, and occupancy determination means 11.
The information control means 7 controls functions such as information transmission / reception and registration in the local controller 2.

  In the storage means 8, personal information of the person permitted to pass through the door 5 and personal information of the person permitted to pass through the door 5 are stored. The permitted person is a person (for example, an employee) who is permitted to pass through the door 5. If the personal authentication by the passer is successful, the door 5 is opened. The restricted passage permitted person is a person who is permitted to pass through the door 5 with restriction (for example, a visitor who visits an employee). Only successful authentication by a restricted passer will not allow entry. When the personal authentication by the restricted passage permitter is successful, the door 5 is further opened when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The personal information of the permitted person permitted to pass is stored in the storage means 8 in association with any personal information of the person permitted to pass through the door 5.

  When the local controller 2 manages a plurality of doors 5, the storage unit 8 stores the personal information of the permitted person and the restricted permitted person for each door 5 (each device information).

  The authentication means 9 determines whether or not the person (passerby) who is going to pass through the door 5 is a person permitted to pass through the door 5. For example, when the information control unit 7 receives personal information (and device information) from the input device 6, the authentication device 9 uses the personal information input from the input device 6 as the personal information of the person permitted to pass through the door 5. Then, it is determined whether or not it is registered in the storage means 8. The authentication unit 9 determines that the passer is a passer of the door 5 when the personal information input from the input device 6 matches any of the registered passerby's personal information. .

  Further, the authentication unit 9 determines whether or not a person (passerby) who is going through the door 5 is a restricted passer of the door 5. For example, when the information control unit 7 receives the personal information (and device information) from the input device 6, the authentication device 9 receives the personal information input from the input device 6 as the personal of the restricted passer of the door 5. It is determined whether or not the information is registered in the storage unit 8 as information. The authentication means 9 is that the passer is the restricted passer of the door 5 when the personal information input from the input device 6 matches any of the registered personal information of the restricted passer. Judgment is made.

  The lock control means 10 controls the lock device 4 of the door 5. During normal times, the lock control means 10 basically locks the lock device 4 and prevents the door 5 from being opened.

  The lock control means 10 unlocks the lock device 4 for a predetermined time based on the authentication result of the authentication means 9 and the determination result of the occupancy determination means 11 described later. For example, when the authentication means 9 determines that the passer of the door 5 is a permitted person for the door 5, the lock control means 10 permits the passer (passed person) to enter the room. The locking device 4 of the door 5 is unlocked for a predetermined time. When the authentication means 9 determines that the passer of the door 5 is a restricted passer of the door 5, the lock control means 10 determines the lock device according to the determination result of the occupancy determination means 11. Unlock 4 That is, the lock control means 10 does not unlock the lock device 4 only when it is determined that the passer is a restricted passer.

  The occupancy determination means 11 determines whether or not a specific person is present in a room whose entry / exit is restricted to a predetermined person by the door 5. Specifically, when the authentication unit 9 determines that the passer of the door 5 is a restricted passer of the door 5, the occupancy determination unit 11 first registers personal information in the storage unit 8. The permitted person whose personal information is associated with the personal information of the restricted permitted person is identified from the permitted persons. Next, the occupancy determination means 11 determines whether or not the specified passage-permitted person is in a room whose doorway is closed by the door 5.

The determination by the occupancy determination unit 11 may be realized by any method.
For example, when the passerby has an RFID tag or the like, the ID information of the RFID tag may be received by an antenna installed in the room, and the presence / absence of the room may be determined.
Further, it may be determined whether or not the user is in the room depending on whether or not the person who is permitted to pass is requested to leave the room and whether the room leaving operation is performed after the room entry operation (input of personal information to the input device 6). .

  When the authentication means 9 determines that the passer of the door 5 is a restricted passer of the door 5, the lock control means 10 determines that the passer is present. When determined by the means 11, the lock device 4 of the door 5 is unlocked.

  The information control means 7 notifies the center device 1 of an alarm when a person who is not permitted to pass through the door 5 (passer not allowed to pass) tries to pass through the door 5. For example, when the personal information input from the input device 6 does not match any of the registered personal information (personal information of a permitted person and personal information of a restricted permitted person), or a passerby of the door 5 When the authentication means 9 determines that the door 5 is a restricted passage permitter, when the presence determination means 11 determines that the passage permitter is not present, the information control means 7 Performs a predetermined alarm for the center device 1.

  The center device 1 manages each local controller 2. The center device 1 has various functions such as registration of personal information, card issuance, management of various histories, and operational settings. For example, the center apparatus 1 includes an information control unit 12, a storage unit 13, and a registration unit 14.

The information control means 12 manages the information control function in the center device 1.
The storage unit 13 stores various types of information used in this entrance / exit management system.

  The registration means 14 registers various information used in this entrance / exit management system. For example, when new registration information or change information is input from a predetermined input device (not shown), the registration unit 14 updates the storage content of the storage unit 13 based on the input information. When the storage content of the storage unit 13 is updated by the registration unit 14, the information control unit 12 distributes the updated content to each local controller 2. In each local controller 2, when the information control means 7 receives the update information from the center apparatus 1, the information stored in the storage means 8 is updated based on the received content.

  Next, the operation of the entrance / exit management system having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the entrance / exit management system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  In order to realize the function of this entrance / exit management system, the personal information of the restricted passage permitter of the door 5 is registered in advance in the storage means 8 of the local controller 2 in association with the personal information of the passage permitter. I have to leave. Such a setting can be realized, for example, by the method shown in I) or II) below.

I) Batch setting For example, consider a case where ID information of a card owned by an employee is stored in the storage unit 8 of the local controller 2 as personal information of a permitted person. That is, in the vicinity of the door 5, a reader for reading ID information stored in the card is installed as the input device 6.

  In such a case, the visitor is often given a visitor-specific card at a reception or the like. When such an operation is performed, a card (that is, a visitor's personal information) to be given to the visitor can be specified in advance. For this reason, when handing a visitor-specific card to a visitor or before handing a visitor-specific card to a visitor, the center device 1 receives the ID information of the visitor-specific card in the center device 1. And is registered in the storage means 13. Information registered in the storage unit 13 is distributed to each local controller 2 by the information control unit 12.

  In each local controller 2, when the information is received from the center device 1, the information control means 7 updates the information stored in the storage means 8 according to the received information. As a result, the ID information of the visitor dedicated card can be registered in the storage means 8 of each local controller 2 in association with the ID information of the card of the corresponding employee (as personal information of the restricted passer). it can.

II) Individual setting When the visitor is only going to go to a specific room, it is not necessary to perform the collective setting as shown in the above I) from the center apparatus 1. In such a case, each local controller 2 can perform the above settings individually.

  The input device 6 includes a function button 6a for performing the above setting. The employee who responds to the visitor operates the function button 6 a when inputting the card ID information into the input device 6. For example, if the ID information of the permitted person and the non-permitted person's ID information are input to the input device 6 within a predetermined time after the function button 6a is pressed, the information control means 7 The non-permitted person's ID information is associated with the permitted person's ID information and stored in the storage device 8 (as personal information of the restricted permitted person).

  The function button 6a is shown as an example of means (operation means) for a person who inputs personal information from the input device 6 to perform a predetermined operation. Other operation means may be provided in the vicinity of the input device 6 or the input device 6. In this case, the information control means 7 performs the registration process when the personal information of the permitted person and the personal information of the person not permitted to pass are input from the input device 6 with a predetermined operation on the operating means. To do.

  FIG. 2 shows a state in which the personal information of the permitted person and the personal information of the restricted permitted person are already registered in the storage means 8 by the methods I) and II).

  In FIG. 2, reference numeral 15 denotes a room whose entrance is restricted to a predetermined person by the door 5. Reference numeral 16a denotes an employee who is permitted to enter and leave the room 15 in advance. The personal information of the employee 16a is registered in advance in the storage means 8 as personal information of a permitted person. A visitor 16b is allowed to enter and leave the room 15 with restrictions. The personal information of the visitor 16b is registered in advance in the storage means 8 as personal information of the restricted passer. The personal information of the visitor 16b is linked to the personal information of the employee 16a.

  When the visitor 16b enters the room 15 together with the employee 16a, the employee 16a inputs his personal information from the input device 6. As a result, the authentication device 9 determines that the passer is a passer, and the lock device 4 of the door 5 is unlocked. That is, the employee 16a and the visitor 16b can enter the room 15 ((a) and (b) of FIG. 2).

  Then, consider a case where the visitor 16b temporarily leaves the room 15 while the employee 16a remains in the room 15 ((c) of FIG. 2). The visitor 16b inputs personal information from the input device 6 when entering the room again. The personal information of the visitor 16b is determined by the authentication means 9 as the personal information of the restricted passer. In such a case, the occupancy determination means 11 determines whether or not the employee 16a is in the room 15.

  If the employee 16a is present when the visitor 16b reenters the room, the lock control means 10 releases the lock device 4 of the door 5 ((d) in FIG. 2). After the visitor 16b leaves the room, even if the employee 16a temporarily leaves the room 15, the visitor 16b is permitted to enter the room if the employee 16a is present when the visitor 16b reenters the room. The On the other hand, after the visitor 16b leaves the room, the employee 16a also leaves the room 15, and when the visitor 16b reenters the room, if the employee 16a is not in the room, the lock control means 10 will lock the lock device 4 of the door 5. Is not released ((e) of FIG. 2). Even when only employees other than the employee 16a (permitted persons who are not linked to personal information) are present in the room, the lock control means 10 does not release the lock device 4 of the door 5. In such a case, the information control unit 7 transmits a predetermined alarm to the center device 1.

In the case of the entrance / exit management system having the above-described configuration, a restricted passage permitter (for example, a visitor) can open the door 5 if a specific passage permitter (for example, an employee who has entered the room) is not present. It cannot be opened and entered. For this reason, a predetermined security can be ensured by appropriately restricting visitor entry.
In addition, an image apparatus or the like is not required to ensure the security, and the system can be configured easily and inexpensively.

In the present embodiment, the case has been described where the personal information of one restricted passage permitter is stored in the storage unit 8 in association with the personal information of one passage permitter. However, the personal information of one restricted passer may be stored in the storage unit 8 in association with the personal information of a plurality of passers. In such a case, for example, when the authentication unit 9 determines that the passer of the door 5 is a restricted passer of the door 5, the lock control unit 10 determines whether any of the plurality of passers are present. If there is a room, the locking device 4 of the door 5 is unlocked.
Even with this configuration, the same effects as described above can be obtained.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a configuration of a main part of an entrance / exit management system according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In this embodiment, a case will be described in which a time restriction is provided as a condition when a restricted passage permitter enters a room.

As shown in FIG. 3, the local controller 2 in the present embodiment includes a measuring unit 17 in addition to the information control unit 7, the storage unit 8, the authentication unit 9, the lock control unit 10, and the occupancy determination unit 11. Yes.
The measuring means 17 measures the elapsed time after the restricted passage permitter leaves the room.

The measurement by the measuring means 17 may be realized by any method.
For example, in addition to the input device 6 for entering the room, the input device 18 for leaving the room is connected to the local controller 2. The configuration of the input device 18 is substantially the same as the configuration of the input device 6. Further, the input devices 6 and 18 are provided with a function of detecting the time when the personal information input operation is performed.

  When personal information is input to the input device 18 configured as described above, the operation time (leaving time) is stored in the storage unit 8 in association with the input personal information. When the personal information is input to the input device 6 and the exit time is stored in association with the personal information, the measuring means 17 stores the time detected by the input device 6 (operation time (entry time)). The elapsed time is calculated on the basis of the leaving time.

  If it is determined by the authentication means 9 that the passer of the door 5 is a restricted passer of the door 5, the lock control means 10 indicates that the corresponding passer is present. When the elapsed time determined by the determination unit 11 and measured by the measurement unit 17 is within a predetermined reference time, the lock device 4 of the door 5 is unlocked. Even if the presence determination means 11 determines that the corresponding permitted person is present, the lock control means 10 exceeds the predetermined reference time measured by the measurement means 17. When unlocked, the locking device 4 of the door 5 is not unlocked.

  Next, the operation of the entrance / exit management system having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the entrance / exit management system according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a case where a visitor 16b temporarily leaves the room 15 after the employee 16a and the visitor 16b enter the room 15 ((a) and (b) of FIG. 2) is considered ( (C) of FIG. When the visitor 16 b leaves the room 15, the visitor 16 b inputs personal information to the input device 18 for leaving the room. By this operation, the leaving time (operation time) of the visitor 16 b is stored in the storage unit 8.

The visitor 16b inputs personal information from the input device 6 when re-entering the room (S101).
By this operation, the re-entry time (operation time) of the visitor 16b is stored in the storage means 8 (S102). The authentication unit 9 performs room entry authentication processing based on the personal information input from the input device 6 (S103). The personal information of the visitor 16b is determined by the authentication means 9 as the personal information of the restricted passer (Yes in S103). In such a case, the occupancy determination unit 11 specifies personal information associated with the personal information of the visitor 16b (S104).

  If the room entry authentication process is not successful in S103, the information control means 7 gives a predetermined alarm to the center apparatus 1 (S105).

  The storage unit 8 stores the personal information of the visitor 16b in association with the personal information of the employee 16a. For this reason, the occupancy determination means 11 specifies that the person permitted to pass the visitor 16b is the employee 16a. When the occupancy determination means 11 specifies that the employee 16a is a permitted passer during reception, the occupancy determination means 11 acquires the occupancy status of the specified employee 16a and determines whether the employee 16a is occupying ( S106, S107). When the employee 16a is not in the room, the information control means 7 gives a predetermined alarm to the center apparatus 1 (S105).

  When the visitor 16b inputs personal information from the input device 6, if the employee 16a is in the room, the measuring means 17 measures the time during which the visitor 16b has left the room. For example, when the occupancy determination unit 11 determines the presence of the employee 16a, the measurement unit 17 acquires the visitor 16b leaving time from the storage unit 8 (S108). Moreover, the measurement means 17 acquires the re-entry time of the visitor 16b from the memory | storage means 8 (S109). The measuring means 17 calculates the time from the leaving time to the re-entry time as the elapsed time after the visitor 16b leaves the room.

  The elapsed time (time when the visitor 16b was not in the room 15) measured by the measuring means 17 is compared with a predetermined reference time (S110). When the elapsed time measured by the measuring means 17 exceeds the reference time (No in S110), the lock control means 10 does not unlock the lock device 4 of the door 5 ((e) in FIG. 2). In such a case, the information control means 7 gives a predetermined alarm to the center device 1 (S105). On the other hand, if the elapsed time measured by the measuring means 17 is within the reference time (Yes in S110), the lock control means 10 unlocks the locking device 4 of the door 5 (S111). Thus, the visitor 16b can enter the room 15 without contacting the employee 16a or having the employee 16a open the door 5 ((d) in FIG. 2).

  With the entrance / exit management system having the above-described configuration, it is possible to determine whether or not the lock device 4 can be unlocked in consideration of the time during which the restricted authorized person has left the room. For this reason, the security of the system can be further improved.

  Matters not described in the present embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment.
