  In the automatic door system as described above, for example, when it is desired to prevent the door from opening at night or in another specific closing period, the device for opening and closing the door should be turned off and the door should be locked directly. Good.

  However, even during the door-closing period, it is expected that a specific person, such as a facility manager or a person concerned, wants to open the door as needed and go in and out. In such a case, it is necessary to open the door and turn on the power every time the door needs to be opened, and it is necessary to relock and turn off the power after entering and leaving, which is very troublesome. , Low convenience.

  The present disclosure is basically based on preventing the door from opening even when the slave is operated during a specific period, and even when the slave is operated by a specific person even during the specific period, the door is not opened. Provide the technology that can be opened.

  One aspect of the present disclosure is used in an automatic door system having a door opening / closing device for opening and closing a door, a master unit, and a door control device, and a slave unit for an automatic door system electrically connected to the master unit. (Hereinafter, simply referred to as “slave unit”). The master unit has a master unit operation unit operated by the user, and when the master unit operation unit is operated or a door opening signal is input from outside the master unit, a command for opening the door is issued. It is configured to transmit a signal. The door control device is capable of receiving a command signal transmitted from the parent device, and is configured to operate the door opening / closing device to open the door when the command signal is received.

  The cordless handset includes a cordless handset operating unit operated by a user, a wireless communication unit, a signal output unit, and a control unit. The wireless communication unit is configured to be able to wirelessly communicate with a wireless communication medium different from the slave. The signal output unit is electrically connected to the master unit and is configured to be able to output a door opening signal to the master unit. The control unit is configured to control the output of the door opening signal by the signal output unit. More specifically, the control unit basically outputs the door opening signal from the signal output unit to the master unit when the slave unit operation unit is operated, and the slave unit operation unit operates during the specific authentication required period. If it is, the authentication data stored in the wireless communication medium is received by causing the wireless communication unit to perform wireless communication with the wireless communication medium before outputting the door opening signal, and the received authentication data is received. Outputs a door open signal when the certification conditions are met.

  In the child machine with such a configuration, the door does not open unconditionally whenever the child machine operation unit is operated, but the door opens only by operating the child machine operation unit at least during the authentication required period. Absent. The door opens when the child device operation unit is operated during the authentication required period and when the authentication data satisfying the authentication condition is further received from the wireless communication medium. Therefore, for example, by giving a specific person a wireless communication medium in which authentication data that satisfies the authentication condition is stored, the specific person can open the door using the wireless communication medium even during the authentication required period. You will be able to open it.

  Therefore, according to the slave unit having such a configuration, even if the slave unit is operated during a specific period, the door is not opened, and even if the slave unit is operated during the specific period, a specific person can operate. The door can be opened to operate the child device.

  The child device may be electrically connected to the parent device by a pair of signal lines. In that case, the signal output unit may include a relay having a normally open contact, and a pair of signal lines may be connected to both terminals of the normally open contact. The control unit is configured to realize the output of the door opening signal from the signal output unit by connecting the normally open contact of the relay to connect the pair of signal lines through the normally open contact. May be.

With such a configuration, the door opening signal can be output to the master unit simply by making the normally open contact of the relay conductive, so that the door opening signal can be output with a simple configuration.
The slave having the above configuration may include an authentication data storage unit that stores authentication data that satisfies the authentication condition. In that case, if the authentication data received from the wireless communication medium is stored in the authentication data storage unit when the slave unit operation unit is operated during the authentication required period, the received authentication data is received. May be determined to satisfy the authentication condition.

  According to the above configuration, since the authentication condition is that the authentication data is stored in the authentication data storage unit, it is determined whether or not the received authentication data satisfies the authentication condition. Can be easily determined based on whether or not it is stored in.

  When the authentication data storage unit is provided as described above, the data communication unit and the authentication data processing unit may be further provided. The data communication unit performs data communication with an information processing device different from the child device. The authentication data processing unit executes at least one of storage processing and deletion processing based on a data processing request from the information processing device. The storage process is a process of storing the authentication data input from the information processing device via the data communication unit in the authentication data storage unit. The deletion process is a process of deleting the authentication data stored in the authentication data storage unit. Note that in both the storage process and the deletion process, the number of pieces of authentication data to be processed may be one or more.

  If the mobile device itself is provided with a user interface for inputting or deleting authentication data that satisfies the authentication condition, the mobile device may be upsized accordingly. On the other hand, by making it possible to perform processing such as new storage or deletion of the authentication data from the external information processing device as in the above configuration, it is possible to suppress the new storage of the authentication data while suppressing the size increase of the child device. Processing such as deletion can be easily performed.

  Further, the slave unit may include a current time information output unit that outputs current time information indicating the current time, and a period information storage unit that stores authentication period information indicating the authentication required period. In that case, when the slave unit operation unit is operated, the control unit authenticates the operation based on the current time information output from the current time information output unit and the authentication period information stored in the period information storage unit. You may make it determine whether it was performed during the period.

  According to the above configuration, when the handset operation unit is operated, whether or not the operation is performed during the authentication required period is determined based on the authentication period information stored in the period information storage unit. It can be easily judged.

  When the current information output unit and the period information storage unit are provided as described above, the data communication unit and the authentication period information processing unit may be further provided. The authentication period information processing unit changes the storage content of the authentication period information in the period information storage unit based on the period setting request input from the information processing device via the data communication unit.

  If the cordless handset itself is provided with a user interface for changing the stored contents of the authentication period information, the cordless handset may be upsized accordingly. On the other hand, by making it possible to change the authentication period information from the external information processing device as in the above configuration, it is possible to easily change the stored content of the authentication period information while suppressing the enlargement of the child device. it can.

  Further, the child device may include a history information storage unit that stores history information. In that case, when the authentication data received from the wireless communication medium satisfies the authentication condition when the slave operation unit is operated during the authentication required period, the control unit sets the authentication data to the information indicating the current time. Along with this, history information may be stored in the history information storage unit.

  According to the above configuration, when the door open signal based on the authentication data is output during the authentication required period, the history information indicating that is output, and thus the person who opens the door during the authentication required period opens the door. You can check afterwards whether it was done.

  When the history information storage unit is provided as described above, the data communication unit and the history information processing unit may be further provided. The history information processing section outputs the history information stored in the history information storage section to the information processing apparatus via the data communication section based on a history output request from the information processing apparatus.

  If the child device itself is provided with a user interface (for example, an image display device or a printing device) for visually providing history information, the child device may be correspondingly increased in size. On the other hand, by allowing the history information to be output to the external information processing device as in the above configuration, it is possible to easily confirm the history information outside the slave unit while suppressing the enlargement of the slave unit. .

  In the slave, the wireless communication unit may be capable of wirelessly communicating with at least a non-contact type IC card as a wireless communication medium. In that case, the authentication data may be data including at least a unique ID number stored in the non-contact type IC card.

  Generally, a non-contact type IC card includes a unique ID number, and the ID number can be acquired via a wireless communication unit. Therefore, by using the ID number originally possessed by the non-contact type IC card as the authentication data, the existing non-contact type IC card can be used as the wireless communication medium without newly preparing the wireless communication medium for the authentication. It can be used to allow the door to be opened during the authentication required period.

  The relay drive switch 57 is, for example, a semiconductor switching element, and is turned on / off by the child device control unit 42. Normally, the relay drive switch 57 is turned off, so that no current flows through the coil 55 and the relay contact 56 is turned off (non-conducting).

  The slave unit control unit 42 is mainly composed of a well-known microcomputer having a CPU 61 and a semiconductor memory (hereinafter, memory 62) such as a ROM, a RAM, and a flash memory. Various functions of the child device control unit 42 are realized by the CPU 61 executing a program stored in the non-transitional physical recording medium. In this example, the above-mentioned flash memory 47 provided separately from the memory 62 and the child device control unit 42 corresponds to a non-transitional physical recording medium storing a program. Further, by executing this program, the method corresponding to the program is executed. It should be noted that the number of microcomputers forming the slave unit controller 42 may be one or more.

The programs executed by the CPU 61 of the slave unit control unit 42 include at least a slave unit door opening control process program of FIG. 4 and an external tool communication process program of FIG. 5, which will be described later.
The child device control unit 42 has a function of controlling the output of a door opening signal to the parent device 7, a function of reading and writing various kinds of information from the flash memory 47, and a data communication with an external wireless communication medium 100 via the wireless communication unit 43. It has a function to perform.

  The connector 51 is an interface for connecting an external information processing terminal. In this embodiment, the connector 51 is a USB standard connector. The data terminal 70 can be connected to the connector 51.

  The data terminal 70 can register (for example, store in the flash memory 47) the authorization authentication data with respect to the child device 8 or conversely cancel the registration (that is, delete from the flash memory 47). Further, the data terminal 70 can read the history information stored in the flash memory 47 of the slave 8. Further, the data terminal 70 can cause the slave unit 8 to newly store or delete the authentication period information. Further, the data terminal 70 can store or delete the information indicating the door-opening prohibition period in the child device 8.

  The data communication unit 50 relays data transmission / reception between the external information processing terminal connected to the connector 51 and the slave unit control unit 42. The process of storing, reading, and deleting various information in the flash memory 47 of the child device 8 by the data terminal 70 directly requests the corresponding process to the child device control unit 42, and the child device control unit 42 Via 42.

(1-4) Slave Unit Door Opening Control Process Next, the slave unit door opening control process executed by the slave unit controller 42 will be described with reference to FIG. After the activation, the CPU 61 of the child device control unit 42 periodically and repeatedly executes the child device opening control process shown in FIG.

  CPU61 of the subunit | mobile_unit control part 42 will judge whether the touch switch 41 of the subunit | mobile_unit 8 was turned ON, if the subunit | mobile_unit opening control process is started. When the touch switch 41 is not turned on, the child machine door opening control process ends. If the touch switch 41 is turned on, the process proceeds to S120.

  In S120, current information is acquired from the real-time clock 48, and schedule information is read from the flash memory 47. The schedule information is information indicating the authentication period information described above and the door open prohibition period described above.

  In S130, it is determined whether the current time indicated by the current time information acquired in S120 is within the door-opening prohibition period. For example, when the door open prohibition period is set from 0:00 to 5 o'clock and the current time indicated by the current time information is 22:00, it is determined that the door open prohibition period is not within, and the time is, for example, 1 If it is time, it is determined that it is within the door-opening prohibition period.

  When it is determined that the door-opening prohibition period is not reached, the child machine door-opening control process ends. That is, although the touch switch 41 is turned on, the door is not opened. If it is determined that it is not within the door-opening prohibition period, the process proceeds to S140.

  In S140, it is determined whether the current time indicated by the current time information acquired in S120 is within the authentication required period. For example, when the required authentication period is set from 21:00 to 00:00 and from 5 to 7 o'clock, if the current time indicated by the current time information is 10:00, it is determined that the period is not within the required authentication period. If the time is, for example, 23:00, it is determined that it is within the authentication required period.

  If it is determined that it is not within the authentication required period, the process proceeds to S220. In S220, the relay 49 is turned on to output a door opening signal to the master device 7. Specifically, the relay drive switch 57 is turned on to bring the relay contact 56 into conduction, thereby outputting the door opening signal. By outputting the door opening signal in S220, the command signal is wirelessly transmitted from the parent device 7 and the door is opened as described above.

  If it is determined in S140 that it is within the authentication required period, the process proceeds to S150. In S150, the wireless communication unit 43 is activated to shift to a standby state in which wireless communication with the wireless communication medium 100 can be performed by a non-contact wireless communication method. As a result, when the wireless communication medium 100 is held over the handset 8, the authentication data can be acquired from the wireless communication medium 100. It should be noted that “passing over the child device 8” with respect to the wireless communication medium 100 means bringing the wireless communication medium 100 close to the wireless communication unit 43 of the child device 8 within a communicable range.

  In S160, it is determined whether the authentication data (ID data in this embodiment) is received from the wireless communication medium 100. Even if the authentication data is not received, it waits for a certain period of time to wait for the reception of the authentication data. If the authentication data has not been received even after the lapse of a certain period of time, the slave unit door opening control process is ended. If the authentication data is received, the process proceeds to S170.

In S170, the registration information is read from the flash memory 47. That is, the permission authentication data registered in the child device 8 is read.
In S180, an authentication process is performed on the received authentication data based on the registration information read in S170. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the received authentication data is registered in the slave unit 8 as being output for permission authentication. If registered, authentication is successful, and if not registered, authentication failed.

  In S190, it is determined whether or not the authentication has succeeded as a result of the authentication processing in S180. If the authentication is not successful, the child device opening control process ends. That is, the door should not be opened due to authentication failure. If the authentication is successful, the process proceeds to S200.

  In S200, the relay 49 is turned on to output the door opening signal to the base unit 7 in exactly the same manner as in S220. As a result, the door is opened. In S210, history registration processing is performed. That is, the above-mentioned history information is stored in the flash memory 47. Specifically, the authentication data that has been successfully authenticated in the authentication process of S180 is stored in the flash memory 47 as history information together with the current time information acquired in S120.

(1-5) External Tool Communication Process Next, the external tool communication process executed by the handset controller 42 will be described with reference to FIG. When the external tool (for example, the data terminal 70) is connected to the connector 51, the CPU 61 of the child device control unit 42 starts the external tool communication process shown in FIG. The external tool may be an information processing device other than the data terminal 70 (for example, a portable personal computer).

  When the external tool communication process is started, the CPU 61 of the child device control unit 42 determines in S310 whether an information processing request has been made by the external tool. If there is no information processing request, it is determined in S330 whether an external tool is being connected to the connector 51. If the external tool is connected to the connector 51, the process returns to S310, and if the external tool is not connected, the external tool communication process ends.

When an information processing request is made from the external tool in S310, the process proceeds to S320. In S320, the information processing requested by the external tool is executed.
For example, when the authentication period information is received as a period setting request from an external tool and is requested to be stored, the received authentication period information is stored in the flash memory 47. Further, for example, when the external tool requests, as a period setting request, to delete the specific authentication period information stored in the flash memory 47, the requested authentication period information is deleted.

Further, for example, when a history output request is received from an external tool, the history information stored in the flash memory 47 is read and transmitted to the external tool.
Further, for example, when permission authentication data is requested from the external tool as a data processing request, the permission authentication data stored in the flash memory 47 is read and transmitted to the external tool. Further, for example, when a request for new storage or deletion of permission authentication data is made as a data processing request from an external tool, based on the request, the flash memory 47 is newly stored or deleted of the required permission authentication data. I do. In addition, in S320, various processes can be performed in response to various requests from external tools.

(1-6) Effects of the Embodiment According to the embodiment described above, the following effects are achieved.

The door cannot be opened only by pushing 41. When the touch switch 41 of the slave unit 8 is pressed during the authentication required period, and further, when the authentication data satisfying the authentication condition is received from the wireless communication medium 100, the door opens.

  Therefore, for example, by giving a specific person the wireless communication medium 100 in which the authentication data satisfying the authentication condition is stored, the specific person uses the wireless communication medium 100 even during the authentication required period. You will be able to open the door.

  Therefore, according to the embodiment, the door is not opened even if the touch switch 41 of the slave unit 8 is pressed during the authentication required period, and even if the authentication required period is specified, The door can be opened only to a person (the holder of the wireless communication medium 100 in which the authentication data that satisfies the authentication condition is stored).

  (1b) In the embodiment, the authentication condition in the slave unit 8 is that the authentication data received from the wireless communication medium 100 is registered as the permission authentication data in the slave unit 8 (that is, stored in the flash memory 47). That is). Therefore, according to the mobile device 8 of the embodiment, whether or not the received authentication data satisfies the authentication condition is easily determined based on whether or not the authentication data is stored in the flash memory 47 as the authorization authentication data. be able to.

  (1c) The registration of the authorization authentication data can be performed by using an external tool such as the data terminal 70, or the authentication data can be directly obtained from the wireless communication medium 100 to be registered by non-contact wireless communication and registered. be able to. Further, the registered authorization authentication data can be deleted by using an external tool. The external tool can also acquire the registered authorization authentication data from the slave unit 8 and display it. Therefore, it is possible to easily register or delete the authorization authentication data for the child device 8.

  (1d) The slave unit 8 of the embodiment includes the relay 49, and the slave unit control unit 42 controls the relay 49 to realize the door opening signal output to the master unit 7. Specifically, the output of the door opening signal to the parent device 7 can be realized simply by making the relay contact 56 of the relay 49 conductive. Therefore, the door opening signal can be output with a simple configuration.

  (1e) In the child device 8 of the embodiment, history information is stored when the door is opened using the wireless communication medium 100 during the authentication required period. Therefore, it is possible to confirm afterwards who and how the door was opened during the authentication required period.

  Moreover, the history information can be confirmed outside the slave unit 8 by connecting an external tool such as the data terminal 70 to the slave unit 8 and causing the external tool to read the history information. Therefore, it is possible to easily confirm the history information stored in the slave unit 8 while suppressing the enlargement of the slave unit 8 and the complication of the configuration.

  (1f) In the handset 8 of the embodiment, the external tool can be used to set the authentication required period. Therefore, it is possible to easily perform processing such as new setting or change of the required authentication period.

  The authentication required period can be set in various patterns. That is, as in the above-mentioned example, it is possible to set only the time zone, and to set the authentication required period of various patterns by day, day of the week, month, year, or by combining them. You can Therefore, it is possible to provide the highly convenient automatic door system 1 that can be used in various usage scenes.

  (1g) In the child device 8 of the embodiment, a door open prohibition period can be set in addition to the authentication required period. Therefore, it is possible to meet the demand that the door should never be opened for a certain period of time.

  (1h) In the embodiment, a non-contact type IC card can be used as the wireless communication medium 100. Moreover, it is not always necessary to newly prepare a non-contact type IC card corresponding to the slave unit 8 of the embodiment, and an existing IC card used for other purposes can be used for authentication. For example, a person who has an IC card used as a ticket for transportation can register the authentication data (ID data) of the IC card for authentication of the child device 8.

  Therefore, for example, when it is desired to individually register the authorization authentication data to the child device 8 for each person (for example, several tens to several hundreds) belonging to the organization within a certain organization, newly prepare IC cards for the number of persons. For authentication, the IC card already possessed by each person or a wireless communication medium 100 equivalent thereto (that is, a wireless communication medium capable of wireless communication with the handset 8 and storing unique authentication data) is used for authentication. Can be used together.
