  In the conventional locking / unlocking control system shown in FIG. 4, the electric lock 2 can be provided in the frame of the door 1, and the electric lock control means 3 and the power supply 8 can be provided in a place away from the door 1. The cable 12 and the power supply line 11 therebetween can also be provided on the back of the ceiling. However, the card reader 4 must be provided near the door 1. In particular, in order for the user to read the IC card C, the reading unit 5 must be installed within the reach of human hands. Specifically, it is provided on the wall of the door 1 side.

Therefore, a power supply line 9 for supplying power to the card reader 4 provided on the wall surface and a signal line 10 for transmitting a control signal to the electric lock control means 3 must also be wired on the wall.
However, if the wall is made of marble or the like, it is difficult to wire inside. Further, in the case of a glass wall, there is a problem that not only wiring work is difficult, but also the appearance is impaired.

Therefore, the conventional locking / unlocking control system in which the card reading device as described above is installed in the vicinity of the door has a problem that the place where it can be installed is limited.
An object of the present invention is to provide a locking / unlocking control system with a high degree of freedom of installation location without causing any trouble in the wiring of power supply lines and signal lines.

The first invention is a locking and unlocking control system comprising a mobile terminal a control signal for wirelessly transmitting to the control means for opening and closing control of the electrical switching means provided in the opening and closing mechanism of the door or the like, the portable terminal A means for reading an opening / closing mechanism ID associated with an opening / closing mechanism such as a door, and a processing means for determining whether the correspondence between the opening / closing mechanism ID read by the reading means and the control ID held in the portable terminal is correct. , when the processing means has determined to be correct the correspondence, directly to the control unit of an electrical switching means which corresponds to the opening and closing mechanism ID, and output means for outputting the unlocking or locking permission signal wirelessly It is characterized by that.

The “contrast ID held in the mobile terminal” includes, in addition to the control ID stored in advance in the storage means of the mobile terminal, a temporarily held ID. The temporarily held control ID is, for example, a target ID that is input from the outside and is held only while the processing means performs the determination process.
The above “correctness of the correspondence between the read opening / closing mechanism ID and the contrast ID” means whether or not a predetermined predetermined relationship is maintained, and whether or not both IDs match. Not only that. For example, the relationship that the sum or difference of both IDs becomes a constant value is also included.

  In the second invention, the portable terminal of the first invention is associated with an input means for inputting an authentication ID which is the above-mentioned reference ID associated with the portable terminal user, and the target opening / closing mechanism. Storage means for associating and storing the authentication ID with the opening / closing mechanism ID, and the processing means whether the opening / closing mechanism ID read by the reading means matches the opening / closing mechanism ID stored in the storage means And a function for determining whether or not the authentication ID stored in the storage means in association with the opening / closing mechanism ID matches the authentication ID input from the input means, The output means wirelessly outputs an unlocking or locking permission signal to the control means of the electrical opening / closing means corresponding to the opening / closing mechanism ID when the opening / closing mechanism IDs and the authentication IDs match. Characterized by comprising a function of.

According to a third aspect of the invention, the portable terminal of the first aspect of the invention comprises an input means for a user to input an opening / closing mechanism ID that is the control ID, and the processing means is an opening / closing input from the input means by the user. A function for determining whether or not the mechanism ID and the opening / closing mechanism ID read by the reading means match, and when the opening / closing mechanism IDs match each other, the output means performs electrical switching corresponding to the opening / closing mechanism ID; It has a function of wirelessly unlocking or outputting a lock permission signal to the control means.

According to the first to third inventions, a reading device that requires a power supply line or a signal line is not installed near an opening / closing mechanism such as a door, so that there is no need to wire a wall or the like.
Therefore, the locking / unlocking control system of the present invention can be installed in a place where wiring work is difficult.

According to the second invention, regardless of which opening / closing mechanism the mobile terminal user wants to control, the control ID input to the mobile terminal need only be the authentication ID associated with the mobile terminal user. Compared to managing the ID for each opening / closing mechanism, the management of the ID and the operation of the portable terminal are easier.
According to the third invention, it is not necessary for the portable terminal to include a storage unit that stores the correspondence between the opening / closing mechanism ID and the control ID, and the configuration of the portable terminal can be simplified.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a locking / unlocking system according to the first embodiment. FIG. 2 is a table showing an example of data stored in the storage unit of the first embodiment. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the system configuration of the second embodiment. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a conventional locking / unlocking control system.

The locking / unlocking system of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is a control signal that is an unlocking / locking permission signal of the present invention for the electric lock control means 3 connected to the electric lock 2 provided on the door 1 that is an opening / closing mechanism. The control object is the same as the conventional system shown in FIG. And the same code | symbol as FIG. 4 is used for the same component as the prior art example shown in FIG.
The electric lock 2 is the electrical opening / closing means of the present invention.
In FIG. 1, the wavy arrow indicates wireless data communication.

The system of the first embodiment is characterized in that an IC tag T and a portable terminal M1 are used instead of the IC card C and the card reader 4 of the conventional system of FIG.
The IC tag T is an IC tag that is attached near the door 1 and stores a door ID that is an opening / closing mechanism ID associated with the door 1. And this door ID is memorize | stored by the reading part 13 with which the portable terminal M1 demonstrated later is provided.

For example, the door ID is recorded on the IC chip provided in the tag, and the stored door ID is output in response to the inquiry signal from the reading unit 13. This IC chip is activated by a voltage induced by the inquiry signal, and does not require connection of a power source.
The recording medium storing the door ID may be in any form, and may be in the form of a sheet in addition to the tag as in this embodiment.
Moreover, since the electric lock 2 is associated with the door 1 that is an opening / closing mechanism, an electric lock ID that identifies the electric lock 2 may be used as the opening / closing mechanism ID.

On the other hand, the portable terminal M1 includes a reading unit 13 that is a reading unit that reads a door ID from the IC tag T, a data processing unit 14 that is a processing unit of the present invention, a data storage unit 15 that is a storage unit, and a portable terminal. A data input unit 16 for a user of M1 to input a user ID and a wireless communication unit 17 are provided.
The data storage unit 15 stores a door ID and a user ID of a user who is permitted to unlock the electric lock 2 provided on the door in association with each other. This user ID is the authentication ID of the present invention. For example, the data storage unit 15 stores a correspondence table of door IDs and user IDs shown in FIG.
In FIG. 2, the door ID and the user ID are associated with each other on a one-to-one basis. However, when a plurality of users are permitted to control one door 1, a plurality of door IDs and user IDs are assigned to one door ID. Are associated with each other.

The data processing unit 14 determines whether or not the electric lock 2 should be unlocked based on the user ID input from the data input unit 16 and the door ID read by the reading unit 13 from the IC tag T. It has a function of determining and outputting a control signal according to the determination result.
Further, the wireless communication unit 17 is an output unit of the present invention that wirelessly transmits a control signal output from the data processing unit 14 to the electric lock control unit 3.

Next, a procedure for unlocking the electric lock 2 by the system of the first embodiment will be described focusing on the processing function of the data processing unit 14.
First, the user brings the mobile terminal M1 close to the IC tag T, reads the door ID via the reading unit 13, and inputs the user ID from the data input unit 16.
The data processing unit 14 to which these IDs are input from the outside determines whether or not there is a combination of IDs that matches the correspondence relationship of the IDs input from the outside in the correspondence table stored in the data storage unit 15. judge.

Specifically, a door ID that matches the door ID read by the reading unit 13, for example, D1, is searched from the correspondence table, and the user ID corresponding to D1, which is the door ID, that is, Y1 is specified. Then, it is determined whether or not the identified user ID Y1 matches the user ID input from the data input unit 16. As a result, when the matching door ID and the corresponding user ID match, the data processing unit 14 sends a control signal instructing unlocking via the wireless communication unit 17 to the electric lock control means 3. and outputs it to.

In the locking / unlocking control system of the first embodiment, a signal line or a power supply line is unnecessary for the IC tag T provided near the door 1 and storing the door ID.
Further, since the portable terminal M1 also transmits the control signal wirelessly, it is not necessary to connect a signal line to the control unit 3. The power source can be supplied at another location and stored in a battery (not shown).
Therefore, unlike the prior art shown in FIG. 4, it is not necessary to provide a power supply line or a signal line on the wall surface. Therefore, this locking / unlocking control system can be used even in places where wiring work is difficult.
The electric lock 2, the cable 12, the control unit 3, the power supply line 11 and the power supply 8 can be installed behind the ceiling.

In the first embodiment, the user ID input from the data input unit 16 of the mobile terminal M1 is an authentication ID associated with the user of the present invention, and is stored in the mobile terminal M1 after input. It is also a control ID of this invention.
Then, the data processing unit 14 determines whether the correspondence between the door ID read by the reading unit 13 and the comparison ID is correct or not by referring to the correspondence table stored in the storage unit 15. .

  As described above, in the system according to the first embodiment, the data storage unit 15 stores a correspondence table that associates the door ID corresponding to the electric lock 2 and the user ID of the user who is permitted to lock and unlock. Therefore, when the user of the portable terminal M1 wants to control the electric lock 2 corresponding to any door 1, the same user ID may be input from the data input unit 16. That is, the user only has to manage his / her user ID, and the management of the ID is simple.

The second embodiment shown in FIG. 3 is different from the first embodiment in that a mobile terminal M2 is used instead of the mobile terminal M1 of the first embodiment.
The portable terminal M2 does not include the data storage unit 15 of the portable terminal M1, but the other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, and is used to control the locking and unlocking of the electric lock 2 provided on the door 1. System. Therefore, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1 are used for the same components as those in the first embodiment.

In the second embodiment, when the user of the portable terminal M2 wants to unlock the electric lock 2, the reading unit 13 reads the door ID from the IC tag, and the data input unit 16 sets the target electric lock 2 to the target electric lock 2. Enter the associated door ID. That is, the user of the portable terminal M2 needs to input the door ID corresponding to each door that the user wants to open. However, the door and the door ID do not necessarily have a one-to-one correspondence.
The data processing unit 14 of the portable terminal M2 directly compares the door ID read by the reading unit 13 from the IC tag T with the door ID input from the data input unit 16 by the data processing unit 14. It is determined whether or not. When both IDs match, the data processing unit 14 outputs a control signal instructing unlocking.

In the second embodiment, the door ID that the user inputs from the data input unit 16 is the control ID of the present invention. In this embodiment, when the input door ID matches the door ID read from the IC tag T, it is determined that the correspondence between the two is correct, but the read door ID and the control ID are Even if they do not match, if the correspondence relationship has a predetermined relationship set in advance, it is determined that the correspondence relationship is correct. The predetermined relationship is, for example, a relationship in which the sum or difference of both IDs becomes a constant value.
Such a correspondence relationship is set in the data processing unit 14.

  Even in the system of the second embodiment, an IC tag T may be provided in the vicinity of the door 1, and there is no need to provide a device such as a card reader that requires a power line or a signal line. Therefore, this system can be used even in places where wiring work to the wall is difficult.

In the first and second embodiments, when the correspondence between the door ID read from the IC tag T and the control ID is correct, the data processing unit 14 outputs a control signal for unlocking the electric lock 2. An example of this is described. However, when permission is required for locking instead of unlocking, the data processing unit 14 may output a control signal for locking when it is determined that the correspondence is correct. As described above, when permission is required for locking, it is usually inconvenient if the door is locked freely at a facility where it is necessary to enter and exit freely and lock at a fixed time. This is the case.
Further, the control ID may be determined at both the time of locking and the time of unlocking.

  The locking / unlocking control system of the present invention can be provided without wiring in a place where wiring work cannot be performed on the wall around the door or the appearance is damaged by wiring.
