(Operation and effect of this embodiment)
Next, an example of the control of the doorway opening / closing control system 8 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
(1) In step 100, it is determined whether or not the ID number of the microchip 32 attached to the pet 14 has been read by the indoor reader 34A or the outdoor reader 34B. Specifically, the indoor reader 34 </ b> A or the outdoor reader 34 </ b> B approaches the distance at which the ID number can be read, and by reading the ID number, it can be identified that the pet 14 is near the entrance 16. The individual identification information authenticating device 51B of the management server 56 determines whether or not the read ID number matches the ID number registered in advance. If the authentication is successful, the process proceeds to step 102.

(2) In step 102, a signal including information indicating that the home pet 14 has been authenticated is transmitted to the customer terminal 50 of the customer H (the owner of the pet 14, the owner's family, etc.), and the indoor camera 38, and image data signals of images (moving images are preferable, but still images may be acceptable) taken by the outdoor camera 40, and sound data of sounds picked up by the indoor microphone 42 and sounds picked up by the outdoor microphone 42B Send a signal.

(3) When the customer terminal 50 receives the information indicating that the home pet 14 has been authenticated, the image data signal, the voice data signal, and the like, the image display device 50A of the customer terminal 50 “authenticates the home pet. Inquiry screen such as “Yes No” is displayed, images taken by the indoor camera 38 and the outdoor camera 40 are displayed, and the indoor microphone 42 is used. The sound picked up and the sound picked up by the outdoor side microphone 42B can be heard through the speaker (or earphone) of the customer terminal 50.

  The customer terminal 50 displays an inquiry screen such as “Authenticating a pet at home. Can I open the entrance? Yes No” on the image display device 50A, as well as the indoor camera 38 and the store. An application (program for displaying an image photographed by the outer camera 40 and further allowing the sound picked up by the indoor microphone 42 and the sound picked up by the outdoor microphone 42B to be heard by the speaker (or earphone) of the customer terminal 50 ) Is stored in advance.

  In addition, without storing the above application in the customer terminal 50, the image display device 50A displays an inquiry screen such as “Your home pet has been authenticated. Images taken by the inner camera 38 and the outdoor camera 40 are displayed, and the sound picked up by the indoor microphone 42 and the sound picked up by the outdoor microphone 42B are heard through the speaker (or earphone) of the customer terminal 50. It is also possible. For example, if a mail function such as a mobile phone or the Internet is used and an inquiry screen, an image, a voice, etc. are transmitted as an attached file, the attached file is opened on the customer terminal 50, and the inquiry screen is confirmed on the image display device 50A At the same time, the voice can be confirmed with a speaker (or an earphone).

  The owner displays an image displayed on the image display device 50A of the customer terminal 50, a sound audible from the speaker (or earphone) (a sound picked up by the outdoor microphone 42B and the indoor microphone 42 (pet voice, ambient sounds, etc.)) Can be used as a material for determining whether or not the automatic pet door 18 may be opened.

If the customer H determines that the automatic pet door 18 may be opened, the customer H selects “Yes” displayed on the image display device 50 </ b> A of the customer terminal 50 and transmits an open signal from the customer terminal 50.
On the other hand, if the customer H determines to keep the pet automatic door 18 closed, the customer terminal 50 selects “No” displayed on the image display device 50A and sends a closing maintenance signal from the customer terminal 50. Send.

  In addition, the customer H can speak to the pet 14 from the indoor speaker 44A and the outdoor speaker 44B by the customer H speaking to the microphone (not shown) of the customer terminal 50. . Thereby, communication can be taken between the customer H and the pet 14.

(4) In step 104, it is determined whether the door panel opening / closing device 20 has received an open signal or a closed maintenance signal.
If it is determined in step 104 that an open signal has been received, the process proceeds to step 106, and if it is determined that a closing maintenance signal has been received, the process proceeds to step 108.

(5) In step 106, the door panel 18A is unlocked and the pet automatic door 18 is opened. Thus, the pet 14 can move from the pet automatic door 18 to the room from the outside or from the room to the outdoors.
The door panel opening / closing device 20 passes a preset time after the pet automatic door 18 is opened (the time can be set by, for example, the touch panel image display device 59A of the management server 56). Until this is maintained, the process proceeds to step 112.

(6) In step 112, the automatic pet door 18 is closed, and then the door panel 18 </ b> A is locked by the locking device 22, and the process proceeds to step 114.

(7) In step 114, it is determined whether or not the door panel 18A is locked. If it is determined that the door panel 18A is locked, the process proceeds to step 116, and the lock completion information is notified to the customer terminal 50. Upon receiving the notification of the lock completion information, the customer terminal 50 displays a message indicating that the lock has been completed (for example, “lock has been completed”) on the image display device 50A.
On the other hand, if it is determined that the door panel 18A is not locked, the process proceeds to step 118.

In step 118, the customer terminal 50 is notified that the lock is impossible. When the customer terminal 50 receives a notification that the lock is impossible, the image display device 50A of the customer terminal 50 displays "Door not locked. Is it okay to open the pet automatic door? Yes No" etc. Is done.
The case where the door panel 18A is not locked is assumed to be a case where a foreign object such as an object such as a pebble or a tree branch or a part of the body of the pet 14 is sandwiched between the doorway 16 and the door panel 18A.
Whether or not any object or part of the pet's body is sandwiched between the doorway 16 and the door panel 18A is confirmed by looking at the images projected by the indoor side camera 38 and the outdoor side camera 40. I can do it.
In such a case, the customer H selects “Yes” again on the inquiry screen such as “Can I open the pet automatic door 18? Yes No”, opens and closes the door panel 18A again, and opens the door panel 18A. Can try again to be locked.

(8) In Step 120, it is determined whether or not “Yes” or “No” information has been received from the customer H. When “Yes” information is received, the process returns to Step 104, where “No” information is received. When it is received, the procedure is terminated.
Note that it may be impossible to lock even if the opening and closing are repeated a plurality of times. In this case, it is assumed that the foreign matter sandwiched between the doorway 16 and the door panel 18A cannot be removed, or it is assumed that there is some trouble, so the customer H selects “No” and forcibly terminates the process. Can do.

(9) In step 116, lock completion information is transmitted to the customer terminal 50. When the customer terminal 50 receives the lock completion information, characters such as “the door has been locked” are displayed on the image display device 50A of the customer terminal 50, and the process ends.

  As described above, according to the doorway opening / closing control system 8 of the present embodiment, the pet 14 can be identified by the ID number, and the pet automatic door 18 can be opened / closed by the customer H. The intrusion of a suspicious person or the like into the building can be suppressed as compared with the case where the pet automatic door 18 is opened and closed only by identification of the ID number, and crime prevention performance can be improved.

For example, if a suspicious person appears in an image taken by the outdoor camera 40, an open signal may not be transmitted from the customer terminal 50 ("No" is selected on the image display device 50A). Thereby, the automatic door 18 for pets can maintain a closed state (locked state), can surely prevent a suspicious person from entering the room from the automatic door 18 for pets, and can obtain higher crime prevention performance. Can do.
Further, the customer H speaks to the microphone of the customer terminal 50, so that the voice of the customer H can be heard from the outdoor speaker 44B to the suspicious person.
Note that images taken by the indoor camera 38A and the outdoor camera 38B can be stored in the storage device of the management server 56 and the external memory 57 together with the date information and time information. Therefore, it is possible to confirm later that the pet 14 has entered and exited at what hour, minute, and second in what year, month, day of the week.

[Other Embodiments]
In the above embodiment, an example in which the microchip 32 is embedded in the body of the pet 14 has been described. However, the microchip 32 is not limited to being embedded in the body of the pet 14, and is attached to the outside of the body such as a collar or a clothes for pets. May be.
The shape of the microchip 32 is not limited to an elongated capsule shape, but may be other shapes such as a card shape.

The microchip 32 is not limited to storing only the ID number, and may include a thermometer or a storage device that can transmit the body temperature of the pet measured with the thermometer. The indoor reader 34A and the outdoor reader 34B can read the ID number and the pet body temperature data.
The read body temperature data can be stored in the storage device (such as RAM) of the management server 56 and the external memory together with the date and time. The body temperature data may be transmitted simultaneously when transmitting (notifying) the customer terminal 50 a signal asking whether or not to open the pet automatic door 18. Thereby, the body temperature of the pet 14 can be displayed on the image display device 50 </ b> A of the customer terminal 50. The body temperature of the pet 14 can be displayed on the image display device 59A of the indoor information terminal 59 together with the date and time. If the body temperature can be measured in this way, it is useful for health management of the pet 14.

In preparation for the case where the periphery of the pet automatic door 18 is dark at night or the like, an illumination device that illuminates the periphery of the pet automatic door 18 may be provided. The lighting device may be automatically turned on when the surroundings are dark, or is turned on according to the ambient brightness when connected to the management server 56 and reading the ID number. It may be.
The lighting device may be a lamp, LED, or the like that emits visible light, or may be an infrared LED that emits infrared light as long as the indoor camera 38 and the outdoor camera 40 are of a type that reacts to infrared light. good.

When the storage device of the microchip 32 is rewritable, the customer H can change the ID number as appropriate. In this case, the ID number of the pet 14 stored in the management server 56 also needs to be rewritten so as to match the ID number stored in the storage device of the microchip 32.
The ID number stored in the management server 56 can be changed by the touch panel image display device 59A of the management server 56. Also, the ID number of the microchip 32 is changed by bringing the microchip 32 closer to the indoor reader 34A or the outdoor reader 34B and transmitting a signal from the indoor reader 34A or the outdoor reader 34B to set the ID number of the microchip 32. It can be rewritten.

The change of the ID number may be performed manually by the customer H as described above, but can also be performed automatically. When the ID number is automatically changed, for example, it can be performed as follows.
When the pet 14 goes out of the room, when the indoor reader 34A reads the ID number of the microchip 32, the outdoor reader 34B reads the ID number, and when the pet 14 enters the room from the outside. Since the indoor reader 34A reads the ID number after the outdoor reader 34B has read the ID number of the microchip 32, the management server 56 determines whether the pet 14 has gone outdoors based on the order of reading the ID numbers. You can see if you have returned to.

  Therefore, the management server 56 may change the ID number of the management server 56 as well as changing the ID number with the indoor reader 34A when the pet 14 comes out of the room and returns to the room. Thus, if the ID number is rewritten every time the pet 14 enters and leaves, the trouble of changing the ID number by the customer H can be saved, and the reliability of crime prevention is improved. The ID number can be automatically generated by a random number generator provided in the management server 56, for example.

In the above embodiment, in order to determine whether the pet 14 is indoors or outdoors, the two readers 34A and 34B are provided in the vicinity of the pet automatic door 18. The invention is not limited to this, and if the radio wave transmitted from the reader reaches within the indoor side of the pet automatic door 18 and within a certain range near the outdoor side, the reader for reading the ID number may be one. good.
The customer H can determine whether the pet 14 is indoors or outdoors by looking at images taken by the indoor camera 38 and the outdoor camera 40.

In the doorway opening / closing control system 8, the surrounding state detection device 60 is installed in the management server 56 so that the situation around the doorway 16 or the house 10 can be detected and the detection result (data) can be notified to the customer terminal 50. Can be connected to a spare connection terminal (any one of 56Q to 56S).
As the surrounding state detection device 60, for example, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a sunshine sensor (light sensor), an ultraviolet sensor, a rain sensor, a wind speed sensor, an atmospheric pressure sensor, a smoke sensor, a flame sensor, a vibration sensor (for example, an earthquake sensor) Vibration (sensing P wave, S wave, etc.), odor sensor, etc. can be used, but other sensors capable of measuring physical changes and chemical changes can also be used.

  The management server 56 can transmit the data detected by the surrounding state detection device 60 to the customer terminal 50. The timing of transmitting the data detected by the surrounding state detection device 60 may be when the ID number is transmitted. For example, when the smoke detection sensor or the flame sensor detects smoke or flame (when an emergency is required) Regardless of the timing of transmitting the ID number, the data is immediately transmitted to the customer terminal 50 and a signal for inquiring whether or not to open the pet automatic door 18 is transmitted.

When the customer terminal 50 receives data detecting smoke, data detecting fire, or a signal asking whether or not to open the pet automatic door 18, the image display device 50 </ b> A of the customer terminal 50 receives “a smoke detection sensor detects smoke. An inquiry screen such as “Yes, is it OK to open the pet automatic door 18?” Is displayed regardless of whether the ID number has been received or not. The customer H can determine the situation and determine whether or not to open the pet automatic door 18.
For example, when the pet 14 is indoors, the pet automatic door 18 can be opened and the pet 14 can be evacuated outdoors. When the pet 14 is outdoors, the pet automatic door 18 remains closed. As a result, the pet 14 can be prevented from entering the room.

When the rain sensor detects that it is raining, a signal indicating that it is raining is also transmitted to the customer terminal 50 when transmitting the ID number. When the customer terminal 50 receives a signal indicating that it is raining, a display such as “It is raining” is displayed on the image display device 50A. Thereby, the customer H can make a judgment that it is better not to take the pet 14 outdoors, and can prevent the indoor pet 14 from going outdoors and getting wet. When it is detected that it is raining, a signal indicating that it is raining or image data of the outdoor camera 40 is immediately sent to the customer terminal 50 regardless of whether or not the ID number is transmitted. You may send it.
In this way, the customer H can open and close the pet automatic door 18 by judging the content of the data transmitted from the surrounding state detection device 60.

Further, in the doorway opening / closing control system 8 of the above-described embodiment, it is possible to add control for prohibiting the pet automatic door 18 from opening during a preset time zone. The time period during which the pet automatic door 18 is prohibited from opening can be freely set using the touch panel image display device 50A of the customer terminal 50 or the touch panel image display device 59A of the indoor information terminal 59. I can do it. For example, by preventing the pet automatic door 18 from opening at night or the like, high crime prevention performance can be obtained.
As control for prohibiting the automatic pet door 18 from opening in a preset time zone, the automatic pet door 18 is prevented from opening by not performing authentication of individual identification information in the preset time zone. There is a control to prevent the pet automatic door 18 from being opened for a preset time period even if the individual identification information is authenticated.
