<Store entry management system 100>
FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining a schematic configuration of a store entry management system 100 to which the present embodiment is applied.
FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the detailed configuration of the store entry management system 100. As shown in FIG.
First, the schematic configuration of a store entry management system 100 will be described with reference to FIGS.

The store entry management system 100 is a system that manages the entry of customers to store 1, which is a coin laundry. Specifically, the store entry management system 100 controls the opening and closing of automatic doors 50, which are doors installed at entrance 5 for entering and exiting store 1, depending on the time of day.

Here, customers of store 1 include those who use the washing machine WM (see FIG. 2) and dryer (not shown) installed in store 1, and those who, for example, just want to stay in store 1 where the air conditioner is running, and do not use the washing machine WM. For example, if there are people staying for a long time at night without using the washing machine WM, even those who want to use the washing machine WM may hesitate to enter store 1 for safety reasons.

In this embodiment, therefore, those who use the washing machine WM (see FIG. 2) in store 1, i.e., users who use the services provided in store 1, are registered as members (user registration). Then, the time periods during which customers who have registered as members can enter store 1 are changed from those who have not registered as members.

Here, in this embodiment, a member card CA is distributed to a member UR, who is a user who has registered as a member. That is, the member UR holds the member card CA. On the other hand, a non-member (not shown), who is a visitor who has not registered as a member, does not hold a member card CA. Also, in this embodiment, the automatic door 50 of the store 1 is set to be locked by default during a predetermined time period, such as late at night. Also, during the predetermined time period, the automatic door 50 of the store 1 is opened on the condition that the member card CA is held up against it. As a result, the member UR is permitted to enter the store 1, while visitors other than the member UR are restricted from entering the store 1.

The member card CA in the illustrated example is a so-called IC card incorporating an integrated circuit. This member card CA has a so-called prepaid function that enables payment of the usage fee when using the washing machine WM (see FIG. 2) in the store 1. Specifically, the member UR holds the member card CA over a washing machine card reader PM installed in the washing machine WM to complete the payment and enable use of the washing machine WM. Note that, for example, a payment machine (not shown) installed in the store 1 is used to purchase the member card CA and to deposit money into the member card CA.

In addition, for example, even if the automatic door 50 of store 1 is locked after store 1 closes, the facility manager and security guards from the security company may need to enter the store for management or security purposes. In this case, the manager is permitted to enter store 1 by holding a security card (not shown) over the automatic door 50.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of the management device 10. As shown in FIG.
Next, the detailed configuration of the store entry management system 100 will be described with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG.

The store entry management system 100 has an entry sensor 31 installed outside the store to detect objects approaching the automatic door 50, an exit sensor 33 installed inside the store to detect objects approaching the automatic door 50, a member card reader 30 installed outside the store to the side of the automatic door 50 to read a member card CA, a security card reader 35 installed outside the store to read a security card (not shown), and a fire sensor 37 installed inside the store to detect fires within the store 1.

The store entry management system 100 also includes an automatic door 50 that is driven by a drive source (not shown) to open and close, an air conditioner 51 that controls the temperature inside the store 1, a signage 53 that displays images such as advertisements to customers in the store, a background music speaker 55 that plays music and announcements inside the store 1, lighting 57 that illuminates the inside of the store 1, and a human presence sensor 59 that detects the movement of objects (e.g. customers) inside the store 1.

The store entry management system 100 also has a management device 10 that controls each of the above components. Here, the management device 10 has an automatic door control unit 111 that controls the automatic door 50, a member card reader control unit 113 that controls the member card reader 30, a security card reader control unit 115 that controls the security card reader 35, a fire sensor control unit 117 that controls the fire sensor 37, and a store system control unit 119 that is connected to the network and controls the equipment in the store 1, such as the air conditioner 51.

The security card reader control unit 115 can communicate with the store system control unit 119 and the security company's terminal via the network. In other words, the security card reader control unit 115 has a function for remotely monitoring the security card reader control unit 115 by the security company.

<Entry/Exit Control of Management Device 10>
Next, the entry/exit control executed by the management device 10 will be described.
First, the control when a member UR or the like enters a store will be described.
During normal business hours of the store 1, when a member UR or non-member outside the store 1 approaches the closed automatic door 50, the entrance sensor 31 detects the member UR. This causes the automatic door control unit 111 to control the automatic door and open the automatic door 50 (see arrow D1 in the figure). As a result, the member UR can enter the store. On the other hand, during specific hours of the day, the automatic door control unit 101 opens the automatic door when the member UR holds the card CA over the member card reader 30. This allows a member UR who has a card CA to enter the store, but restricts entry to non-members who do not have a card CA.

Next, the control when a member UR or the like leaves the store will be described.
When a member UR or non-member approaches the closed automatic door 50 to leave the store, the store exit sensor 33 detects the presence of the member UR or non-member. This causes the automatic door control unit 101 to control the automatic door and open the automatic door 50. As a result, the member UR or non-member can leave the store.

<Outline of operation mode>
FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the operation modes of the store entry management system 100 for each time period.
The management device 10 switches between permission and restrictions for entry to the store for members and non-members depending on the time of day. That is, the management device 10 controls switching of operation modes depending on the time of day. Specifically, the management device 10 switches operation modes between normal business hours ("Normal Business" in the figure), member-only time periods ("Members Only" in the figure), and closing time periods ("Closed" in the figure).

By switching between operation modes in this manner, it is possible to prevent non-members from entering store 1 during predefined member-only times, such as early morning or nighttime, or closing time, and staying there for long periods of time.

Here, we will explain each of the normal business hours, member-only hours, and closing hours.
First, the normal business hours are the hours during which both members UR and non-members can enter the store. In other words, during the normal business hours, anyone can enter the store 1 regardless of whether or not they have a membership card CA. In the illustrated example, the normal business hours are from 7:00 to 17:00.

A member-only time period is a time period during which members UR can enter the store, but non-members cannot. In the illustrated example, the member-only time periods are from 5:00 to 7:00 and from 17:00 to 23:00. As shown in FIG. 4, like normal time periods, the member-only time period consists of a member-first time period ("member 1" in the figure) during which the system is operating, and a member-second time period ("member 2" in the figure) during which the air conditioner 51 and other devices are turned off and members UR who are in store 1 are prompted to leave the store. In the illustrated example, the member-first time period is from 5:00 to 7:00 and from 17:00 to 22:30, and the member-second time period is from 22:30 to 23:00.

The closing time period is a time period during which the manager or security guard can enter the store, but members UR and non-members cannot enter the store. In the illustrated example, the closing time period is from 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. the following day. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the closing time period includes a first closing time period ("Closing 1" in the figure) during which the system in the store 1 is stopped, a second closing time period ("Closing 2" in the figure) during which the light 57 is turned on and the members UR left behind in the store 1 are allowed to leave the store, a third closing time period ("Closing 3" in the figure) during which the light 57 is turned off and the members UR left behind in the store 1 are allowed to leave the store, and a fourth closing time period ("Closing 4" in the figure) during which the store exit sensor 33 is stopped but the members UR who are still in the store 1 after the third closing time period are allowed to leave the store.

Here, an alert is set during the first closing time slot. In this alert setting, when the motion of a person is detected by the human presence sensor 59 within the store 1, a notification is sent to the security company via the store system control unit 119. This alert setting is released when the security card reader 35 detects a security card (not shown), even during the first closing time slot. With this alert setting released, it is possible to open the automatic door 50. Furthermore, the previously released security setting is re-enabled by performing an operation such as the security card reader 35 detecting a security card (not shown) again.

<Operation of the store entry management system 100>
Hereinafter, the operation of the store entry management system 100 in each time period will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
First, the operating hours of each component in the store entry management system 100 will be described.
The store entry sensor 31 operates between 7:00 and 17:00. That is, the store entry sensor 31 operates during normal business hours. The store exit sensor 33 operates between 5:00 and 23:30. That is, the store exit sensor 33 operates during normal business hours, member's first time slot, member's second time slot, closing time slot, and closing time slot, respectively. The member card reader 30 operates between 5:00 and 7:00 and between 17:00 and 23:00. That is, the member card reader 30 operates during member's first time slot and member's second time slot. The security card reader 35 operates between 0:00 and 5:00. That is, the security card reader 35 operates during closing time slot, respectively. The fire sensor 37 operates at all times regardless of the time of day.

In addition, the air conditioner 51 operates from 5:00 to 23:00. That is, the air conditioner 51 operates during normal business hours, the member's first time slot, and the member's second time slot. The signage 53 operates from 5:00 to 23:00. That is, the signage 53 operates during normal business hours, the member's first time slot, and the member's second time slot.

The BGM speaker 55 operates from 5:00 to 23:00. Here, the BGM speaker 55 operates in BGM1, a mode that plays music in store 1, from 5:00 to 22:30, and operates in BGM2, which outputs audio encouraging customers in store 1 to leave, such as an announcement that store 1 will close at 23:00. That is, the BGM speaker 55 operates in BGM1 during normal business hours and member 1 time slot, and operates as BGM2 during member 2 time slot.

The lighting 57 operates normally from 5:00 to 23:15, i.e., it is continuously lit ("Continuous" in the figure). Also, the lighting 57 operates in a human detection mode (see "Human Detection" in the figure) in which it operates for a predetermined period (e.g., 30 seconds) as the human detection sensor 59 detects human movement in the store 1 from 23:15 to 5:00 the next day. That is, the lighting 57 operates normally during normal business hours, the first member time slot, the second member time slot, and the second closing time slot, and operates in human detection mode during the first closing time slot, the third closing time slot, and the fourth closing time slot. The human detection sensor 59 operates from 23:15 to 5:00 the next day. That is, the human detection sensor 59 operates during the first closing time slot, the third closing time slot, and the fourth closing time slot.

Next, the operation of the store entry management system 100 from 7:00 to 7:00 the next day, that is, the operation from the normal business hours to the next business hours, will be described.
First, during normal business hours, the store entry sensor 31 is activated. Therefore, when a member UR or non-member approaches the automatic door 50 from outside the store, the automatic door 50 opens. Also, during normal business hours, the store exit sensor 33 is activated. Therefore, when a member UR or the like approaches the automatic door 50 from inside the store, the automatic door 50 opens. Also, inside the store, the air conditioner 51, signage 53, and lighting 57 are activated, and the BGM speaker 55 operates with BGM 1.

When the first member time slot begins, the store entry sensor 31 stops and the member card reader 30 starts operating. Therefore, when the member UR holds the card CR over the member card reader 30, the automatic door 50 opens. The store exit sensor 33 continues to operate, and the automatic door 50 opens when a member UR or the like approaches the automatic door 50 from inside the store. The air conditioner 51, signage 53, and lighting 57 continue to operate, and the BGM speaker 55 continues to operate with BGM 1.

Then, when the second member time slot begins, the member card reader 30 and store exit sensor 33 continue to operate. The air conditioner 51, signage 53, and lighting 57 also continue to operate. Meanwhile, the BGM speaker 55 switches from BGM1 to BGM2. This encourages members UR and others who are in store 1 to leave the store. In addition, this avoids members UR and others being surprised that the store suddenly closes at 11pm.

Then, when the second closing time period begins, the member card reader 30 is stopped. Therefore, even if a member UR holds his/her card CR over the member card reader 30, the automatic door 50 will not open. The store exit sensor 33 remains in operation. The air conditioner 51, signage 53, and background music speaker 55 are also stopped. Meanwhile, the lighting 57 remains in operation.

When the third closing time period arrives, the member card reader 30 is stopped and the store exit sensor 33 continues to operate. The light 57 is turned off and the human presence sensor 59 is activated. As a result, when a member UR or other person moves around the store, the light 57 is turned on for a predetermined period of time (e.g., 30 seconds).

Then, when the fourth closing time slot arrives, the store exit sensor 33 stops. Therefore, even if a member UR or the like approaches the automatic door 50 from inside the store, the automatic door 50 will not open. Here, during the fourth closing time slot, the security card reader 35 does not operate. In other words, no security setting is made by the security company. This ensures time for the member UR or the like who is inside store 1 to take action, such as contacting the security company of store 1 using a mobile phone carried by the member UR. In addition, the security company that receives the contact can open the automatic door 50 by remotely operating it via the security card reader control unit 115 and the store system control unit 119, for example.

Then, when the first closing time period arrives, the security card reader 35 is put into operation, and the security company starts setting up security.
When the first member time slot begins, the member card reader 30 and store exit sensor 33 are activated. Additionally, the air conditioner 51, signage 53, and lighting 57 are activated, and the BGM speaker 55 operates with BGM1.

When normal business hours resume, the member card reader 30 stops and the store entry sensor 31 starts operating. The store exit sensor 33 continues to operate. The air conditioner 51, signage 53, and lighting 57 continue to operate, and the BGM speaker 55 continues to operate at BGM 1.

As described above, even during the hours when non-members are restricted from entering the store, from 5:00 to 7:00 and from 17:00 to 23:00, the member UR can enter the store. Here, the store exit sensor 33 is in operation from 23:00 to 23:30, so the member UR and others who are in the store can leave. On the other hand, the store exit sensor 33 stops at 23:30, and the automatic door 50 is no longer opened. Then, as a rule, the automatic door 50 remains closed until the next day. Therefore, by securing the time from 23:30 to 24:00 (fourth closing time slot), even if a situation occurs in which the member UR is locked in the store 1, the member UR can avoid being locked in the store 1 by, for example, calling a security company or a management company that manages the store 1. Note that the security company can open the automatic door 50, for example, via the security card reader control unit 115 and the store system control unit 119.

Here, by providing a display unit such as a plate displaying contact information such as the telephone number of the security company within the store 1, contact with the security company etc. can be made smoothly.
Also, the switch for turning the lights 57 on and off may be configured not to be located in a position where it can be operated by the member UR or the like in the store 1. With such a configuration, if the lights 57 are turned off after 11:15 p.m., even if a member UR or the like is in the store 1, he or she cannot operate the switch to keep the lights 57 on continuously. As a result, even if, for example, there is a member UR who is intentionally trying to stay in the store 1, the lights 57 in the store 1 will not be kept on continuously, which may make the store 1 an unsuitable environment for staying there.
