  The notification unit 30 includes a display unit 44 and a voice notification unit 46. The display unit 44 includes various display functions such as a character display unit such as a liquid crystal display capable of displaying characters, a reading display lamp, an unlocking display lamp, and a power lamp, and performs a display operation according to a display control signal from the notification control unit 38. Do.

  The voice notification unit 46 includes a voice amplification circuit and a speaker, and outputs a voice message from the speaker by a voice signal from the notification control unit 38.

  The communication unit 34 transmits and receives signals to and from the access control panel 16 in response to an instruction from the authentication control unit 32.

(Personal information authentication control)
The personal information registration unit 36 registers in advance personal information recorded on the magnetic card 12 issued to the user of the card authentication device 10-1 of FIG. This pre-registration of personal information is performed by setting operation of the client device 24 shown in FIG.

  The authentication control unit 32 collates the personal information acquired from the read signal of the magnetic card reading unit 26 with the personal information registered in the personal information registration unit 36, and the access control panel 16 from the communication unit 34 based on the successful authentication by the collation match. The access control panel 16 that has received this authentication signal causes, for example, the electric lock 18-1 provided at the entrance / exit corresponding to the card authentication apparatus 10-1 to be unlocked.

  Further, when the authentication control unit 32 succeeds in authenticating the personal information, the authentication control unit 32 performs control to output a display instruction to the notification control unit 38, and causes the display control signal to be output from the notification control unit 38 to the display unit 44 of the notification unit 30. The reading indicator lamp and the unlock indicator lamp are turned on temporarily.

  In addition, when authentication of the personal information fails, the authentication control unit 32 performs control to output a message notification instruction specifying the message type to the notification control unit 38, and the notification control unit 38 is provided in the notification unit 30 in response to this. A character display control signal is output to the character display unit of the display unit 44 to display an error message, and an audio signal is output to the audio notification unit 46 to notify the error message from the speaker at a predetermined volume.

  In this case, the notification control unit 38 that has received the message notification instruction reads the language information and / or the volume adjustment information as operation information associated with the personal information read by the magnetic card reading unit 26 from the personal information registration unit 36. Control is performed to notify the message with the language and volume based on the above, details of which will be described later.

  Further, the authentication control unit 32 performs control to output a message notification instruction to the notification control unit 38 as necessary other than when authentication of personal information fails.

Examples of such messages include the following.
(1) Guidance message indicating how to use the system (2) Message for anti-passback (3) Message for access outside usage hours

  Here, anti-passback refers to restricting the exit so that the card authentication device on the exit side cannot be used unless the card authentication device on the entrance side is used, in order to prevent illegal traffic due to companionship. In the card reading when the user who is the subject of the anti-passback leaves the room, the authentication control unit 32 succeeds in authenticating the read personal information, but the anti-passback is recognized and the authentication signal is transmitted. The electronic lock is not unlocked, and a message indicating that the traffic is improperly displayed and voice notification is performed.

  When a usage time zone is set, a message indicating that the usage time is out of use and voice notification are performed in the authentication control by reading the card outside the time.

(Registration of language information and volume adjustment information)
When receiving a message notification instruction from the authentication control unit 32, the notification control unit 38 searches the personal information registration unit 36 to read out the language information and / or volume adjustment information. However, since the language information and the volume adjustment information are not registered at the operation start stage of the system, they cannot be read out.In this case, it is determined as the initial setting, and the initial Japanese character display control signal and A voice signal is output to the notification unit 30, a message is displayed in Japanese on the display unit 44, and a Japanese voice message is output from the voice notification unit 46 at an initially set volume.

  When the notification of the Japanese message is different from the language used by the user, the user performs the switching operation to the language used by the user through the language switching operation unit 40. Upon receiving this language switching operation, the authentication control unit 32 outputs a message notification instruction in the switching language to the notification control unit 38, and in response to this, the notification control unit 38 notifies the character display signal and the voice signal of the switched language. The message is output to the unit 30 and the message is performed again.

  Here, when detecting the language switching operation by the user, the notification control unit 38 associates language information indicating a language other than Japanese switched by the operation with the personal information read by the magnetic card reading unit 26. Register in the personal information registration unit 36.

When the user performs a volume adjustment operation by operating the volume adjustment operation unit 42 in response to the voice notification of the message with the initially set volume from the voice notification unit 46, the authentication control unit 32 that has received this performs the notification control. It instructs volume adjustment to section 38, the notification control unit 38 controls the volume of operating the sound volume of the sound notification section 46.

When the notification control unit 38 detects a volume adjustment operation by the user, the notification control unit 38 registers the volume adjustment information indicating the volume adjusted by the operation in association with the personal information read by the magnetic card reading unit 26. Register in the part 36.

By registering the language information and the volume adjustment information by the notification control unit 38 as described above, the personal information registration unit 36 has previously registered language information and volume operation information based on the user operation as shown in FIG. Information in a format registered in association with personal information is stored.

(Language switching control and volume control)
The notification control unit 38 stores message information used for display and voice notification separately in Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, French, and German.

  When receiving the notification instruction specifying the message type from the authentication control unit 32, the notification control unit 38 searches the personal information registration unit 36 based on the personal information read by the magnetic card reading unit 26, as shown in FIG. In addition, the language information and the volume adjustment information associated with the personal information are searched and read out, the character display control signal and the voice signal based on the message information in the language indicated by the read language information, and the volume control signal based on the read volume adjustment information Is output to the notification unit 30.

As a result, the display unit 44 of the notification unit 30 displays a language message based on the language information registered in the personal information registration unit 36 in response to the switching operation of the user. In addition, the voice notification unit 46 of the notification unit 30 performs voice notification of a message with a volume based on the volume adjustment information registered in the personal information registration unit 36 in the same language as the display unit 44 and corresponding to the switching operation of the user.

(Card authentication operation)
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an outline of the authentication operation by the card authentication apparatus 10-1 of FIG. In FIG. 4, in step S <b> 1 (hereinafter “step” is omitted), the magnetic card reader 26 reads the user's personal information from the magnetic card 12 and outputs a read signal to the authentication controller 32.

  Subsequently, the process proceeds to S <b> 2, and the authentication control unit 32 performs authentication for comparing the personal information acquired from the read signal with the personal information registered in the personal information registration unit 36. For this authentication, if it is determined that the authentication is successful due to a matching match, an authentication signal is output to the access control panel 16, and the corresponding electric lock 18-1 is unlocked. If the authentication fails, the electric lock 18-1 is not unlocked.

  Next, in S3, the authentication control unit 32 determines whether or not there is a message notification accompanying authentication. If it is determined that there is a message notification, the process proceeds to S 4, where the authentication control unit 32 outputs a message notification instruction specifying the message type to the notification control unit 38, and the notification control unit 38 receives the message notification instruction by the magnetic card reading unit 26. The information registered in the personal information registering unit 36 is searched by the personal information read from.

Subsequently, in S5, when it is determined that the language information and the volume operation information are not registered in the personal information registration unit 36, the process proceeds to S7, where it is determined that the message is instructed by the initially set Japanese and the initially set predetermined volume, A Japanese display control signal is output to the display unit 44 of the notification unit 30, a Japanese voice signal is output to the voice notification unit 46, and a volume adjustment control signal for instructing an initially set volume is output. .

  By this notification control, message characters are displayed in Japanese on the display unit 44 in S8, and a Japanese voice message is output from the voice notification unit 46 at an initially set volume.

  Subsequently, in S9, the notification control unit 38 determines the presence / absence of the user's language switching operation for the Japanese message notification from the operation reception result by the authentication control unit 32, and proceeds to S10 when determining that there is a language switching operation. The personal information registration unit 36 registers language switched in association with the personal information read by the magnetic card reading unit 26, for example, language information indicating English.

  Subsequently, the process proceeds to S11, where the notification control unit 38 determines the presence / absence of the user's volume adjustment operation for the voice message notification from the operation acceptance result by the authentication control unit 32. If it is determined that there is a volume adjustment operation, the process proceeds to S12. Volume adjustment information indicating the volume adjusted in association with the personal information read by the magnetic card reading unit 26 is registered in the personal information registration unit 36.

  Subsequently, the process returns to S1. Thereafter, when the same user's magnetic card 12 is read, authentication processing is performed in S2, and it is determined that there is a message notification in S3, the personal information read by the magnetic card reading unit 26 in S4. The personal information registration unit 36 is searched.

Subsequently, in S5, when it is determined that there is registration of language information and / or volume adjustment information corresponding to the personal information registration unit 36, the process proceeds to S6, where the searched language information and / or volume adjustment information is read and based on the language information, for example, Information control for reading English message information, outputting a display control signal to the display unit 44 of the notification unit 30 , outputting a voice signal to the voice notification unit 46, and outputting a volume adjustment control signal based on the volume adjustment information is performed. Do.

  By this notification control, a message character is displayed in English on the display unit 44 in S8, and an English voice message is output from the voice notification unit 46 at a volume based on the volume adjustment information.

  In addition, when message notification is performed in a language other than the default language, after a predetermined time has elapsed, or after reading the personal information, the door is unlocked and the entrance / exit operation is normally completed. Switch to the notification state in the default language. At the time of notification in a language other than the default setting, the notification may be performed in both languages by switching between the default language and the language set by the user.

[Contactless card authentication device]
The configuration of the contactless card authentication apparatus 10-2 shown in FIG. 1 is the same as that of the card authentication apparatus 10-1 shown in FIG. What is necessary is just to change to a reading part. Similarly to the magnetic card 12, personal information such as an ID number for specifying a user is recorded in the non-contact IC card 14 in advance.

  Other configurations and control operations of the operation unit 28, the notification unit 30, the authentication control unit 32, the communication unit 34, the personal information registration unit 36, and the notification control unit 38 in the card authentication device 10-1 are the contactless card authentication device 10. Since the same applies to -2, the description thereof is omitted.

[Finger vein authentication device]
The configuration of the finger vein authentication device 10-3 shown in FIG. 1 is such that the magnetic card reader 26 of the card authentication device 10-1 shown in FIG. It is only necessary to change to a finger vein reading unit that extracts information on predetermined feature points (plural points) from the finger to generate finger vein personal information and outputs a read signal including the finger vein personal information.

  Other configurations and control operations of the operation unit 28, the notification unit 30, the authentication control unit 32, the communication unit 34, the personal information registration unit 36, and the notification control unit 38 in the card authentication device 10-1 are the same as those of the finger vein authentication device 10- The case 3 is basically the same, except that finger vein personal information is used as the personal information as follows.

  First, the personal information registration unit 36 registers in advance the finger vein personal information of the user who uses the finger vein authentication device 10-3. For finger vein personal information used for registration, as in the finger vein reading unit, the finger vein pattern of the user's right index finger, for example, is read, and information on predetermined feature points (multiple points) in the pattern is extracted. This is the information generated.

  The authentication control unit 32 receives the reading signal from the finger vein reading unit, acquires finger vein personal information, and similarly performs authentication control for collating with the finger vein personal information registered in the personal information registration unit 36.

The notification control unit 38 determines the language switching operation by the language switching operation unit 40 of the operation unit 28 received by the authentication control unit 32 in a state where the message notification is performed from the notification unit 30 based on the message notification instruction of the authentication control unit 32. In this case, the language information indicating the language switched by the operation is registered in the personal information registration unit 36 in association with the finger vein personal information.

Further, when the notification control unit 38 determines the volume adjustment operation signal by the volume adjustment operation unit 42 of the operation unit 28 received by the authentication control unit 32, the notification control unit 38 displays the volume adjustment information indicating the volume adjusted by the operation as the finger vein personal information. Are registered in the personal information registering unit 36 in association with each other.

Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the notification control unit 38 registers language information and volume adjustment information in the personal information registration unit 36 in association with finger vein personal information. If the authentication of the read finger vein personal information fails, the finger vein personal information cannot be specified, and the associated language information and volume adjustment information cannot be retrieved from the personal information registration unit 36 .

  However, in the collation between the finger vein personal information read by the finger vein reading unit and the finger vein personal information registered in the personal information registration unit 36, the authentication succeeds when the degree of matching coincidence is a predetermined threshold or more. Even when the authentication fails, the degree of coincidence does not reach the threshold, but one or more candidates less than the threshold are obtained. For this reason, by identifying the first candidate that is less than the threshold but has the highest degree of matching, language information and volume adjustment information associated with the finger vein personal information of the first candidate are obtained from the personal information registration unit 36. You can search and read out, switch the language used, and control volume adjustment.

[Palm vein authentication device]
The configuration of the palm vein authentication device 10-4 shown in FIG. 1 is obtained by changing the magnetic card reading unit 26 of the card authentication device 10-1 shown in FIG. 2 to a reading unit having a palm vein reading function. Palm vein personal information obtained by detecting a vein pattern and extracting predetermined feature points (plural points) is generated, and a read signal including the palm vein personal information is output to the authentication control unit 32 to perform authentication processing.

  The personal information registration unit 36 registers in advance the palm vein personal information of the user who uses the palm vein authentication device 10-4.

  Other configurations and control operations of the operation unit 28, the notification unit 30, the authentication control unit 32, the communication unit 34, the personal information registration unit 36, and the notification control unit 38 in the card authentication device 10-1 are the same as the palm vein authentication device 10-. 4 is basically the same, but differs in that palm vein personal information is used as the personal information. Details of the difference are described in the description of the difference of the finger vein authentication device 10-3 described above. Since the finger vein personal information is replaced with palm vein personal information, the description is omitted.

[Face recognition device]
In the configuration of the face authentication device 10-5 shown in FIG. 1, the magnetic card reading unit 26 of the card authentication device 10-1 shown in FIG. 1 is changed to a reading unit having a face reading function, and the face pattern is changed. Face personal information that is detected and extracted with predetermined feature points is generated, and a read signal including the face information is output to the authentication control unit 32 to perform authentication processing.

  The personal information registration unit 36 registers in advance personal personal information of the user who uses the face authentication device 10-5.

  Other configurations and control operations of the operation unit 28, the notification unit 30, the authentication control unit 32, the communication unit 34, the personal information registration unit 36, and the notification control unit 38 in the card authentication device 10-1 are the same as those of the face authentication device 10-5. However, the difference is that the face personal information is used as the personal information. Details of the difference will be described in the explanation of the difference of the finger vein authentication device 10-3. Since it becomes the same by replacing personal information with face personal information, the description is omitted.

In the embodiment described above, language information indicating the language used based on the user's operation and volume adjustment information indicating the adjustment volume are taken as examples of the user operation information. However, other users perform the operation information. For the appropriate operation, operation information indicating the operation result may be registered in the same manner and reflected in the display or voice notification accompanying the subsequent authentication control.

(Authentication device)
As the authentication device of the above embodiment, a card authentication device, a contactless card authentication device, a finger vein authentication device, a palm vein authentication device, and a face authentication device are taken as examples, but the present invention is not limited to this. And an authentication device for authenticating appropriate personal information.

  Note that the notification language information registered in the personal information registration unit is not necessarily displayed and voiced, and for example, only display may be registered.

(Contactless card authentication device)
In a non-contact card authentication device that reads a non-contact IC card, when it has a writing function for the non-contact IC card, operation information such as language information indicating the language used based on the user's operation and volume adjustment information is displayed. Alternatively, the information may be written on the non-contact IC card, and then the user operation information may be read from the non-contact IC card to switch the language used and adjust the volume. Thereby, the registration of operation information on the authentication apparatus side is unnecessary, and the control process can be simplified. If operation information has been registered on the authentication device side, either one can be used as a backup.

(Access control)
In the above embodiment, the authentication device and the access control board for controlling devices such as electric locks are separated, but the control function of the access control board may be integrated with the authentication device.

  The personal authentication registration unit 36 is not provided on each authentication device 10 side, but is provided on the access control panel 16, center device 22 or client device 24 side, and the personal authentication registration unit 36 is provided on the access control panel 16 or the like for each user personal authentication. The information registration unit may be inquired to perform the unlock control of the electric lock 18 and the notification control of the notification unit 30. In this case, it is called an authentication device in the scope of the present invention including an access control board and the like.

  Note that information set by a user on one authentication device can be transferred to the personal authentication registration section of another authentication device and registered so that the user's settings are registered in the entire system. Thus, the troublesome setting can be eliminated. However, language switching information is better transferred to other authentication devices because it is better for all authentication devices, but it may be better to change the volume according to the amount of noise at the installation location. It is also possible not to transfer information that is not desired to be unified by all authentication apparatuses.
