Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] This invention utilizes a card-type electronic lock on a door to allow a specific person to enter a room by unlocking the door with a card, or to move between multiple rooms. This invention relates to a device that records the fact of entering a room and moving, along with the time, when moving.

[Prior Art and Its Disadvantages] Normally, locked rooms contain items that cannot be entered without permission or taken outside without permission. In the case of a conference room where the maintenance and repair of various indoor facilities is contracted out to an outside contractor, the contractor is given a key that can be used to unlock and enter any room. In order to confirm that the contractor has cleaned the specified room according to the contract without cutting corners and has not invaded the room unnecessarily (for contract performance management and confidentiality management), Records of the vendor's actions are often required.

Furthermore, in buildings where many people come and go, it may be necessary to record the behavior of which rooms a specific person has used, not just the external contractors mentioned above.

Conventional card-type electronic door locks only have the function of restricting the opening and closing of the door, so in order to record the actions of a specific person as described above, the person who took the action must record it on a recording paper themselves. and submitted it to the administrator.

Therefore, there is no way to confirm the authenticity of the recorded content, and in order to obtain data on the behavior of a specific person and obtain statistics on movement records or activity time (hours used or working hours, etc.), it is necessary to use other methods. It has disadvantages in that it requires processing means or calculation means, and therefore it takes time to achieve the intended purpose.

[Technical problem to be solved] A card-type electronic door lock can be opened at any time from indoors by turning a knob, and from outdoors by having a card reader read a card containing predetermined information. The locking mechanism is unlocked only when the stored card information matches pre-stored unlocking permission information or when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

In other words, you must use your card to enter a locked room.

This invention focuses on this point, and connects terminal devices of card-type electronic locks to a central device online, allows occupants whose actions need to be tracked to use a specific type of card, and allows each terminal device to use a specific type of card. When a card of a particular type is read by a cart reader, this information is transmitted to a central device, stored, and processed to automatically track the actions and movements of the user of each particular type of card along with the current time. The purpose is to provide a mobile recording device that records data on the go.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention solves the above problems and is configured as follows.

That is, the mobile recording device according to the present invention generally includes a terminal device installed corresponding to each room where entry is restricted;
It consists of a central device connected online to each terminal device.

Each terminal device includes a card reader, a control device connected to the rear stage of the card reader, a transmission device connected to the rear stage of the control device, and an electric lock attached to the door of the room where the terminal device is installed. and has.

The control device includes card information verification means, lock control means, and communication control means.

a. The card information verification means verifies and compares the card information read by the card reader with pre-stored card type information and unlocking permission information to determine if they match; b. The lock control means outputs an unlocking command signal to the electric lock based on the matching signal from the card information verification means, and the communication control means C6 outputs an unlocking command signal to the electric lock based on the matching signal from the card information verification means. Based on the type determination signal,
(d) The central device transmits a predetermined card type code for the specific card type and a terminal code set for the terminal device to the transmission device, and (d) the central device connects to each transmission device of the terminal device. The control device includes a transmission device, an input device, a control device connected to the input device, and an output device connected to a subsequent stage of the control device, and (e) the control device includes a communication control means, a clock means, It has a storage control means, a storage means, and an output control means.

d. The communication control means receives a terminal code and a card type code from the terminal device via the transmission device.

e. The storage control means stores the terminal code and card type code received by the communication control means in the storage means together with the time output by the clock means.

f. The output control means reads the stored contents of the storage means based on a command input from the input device, and causes the output device to output the stored contents according to a predetermined format.

[Operation] The card reader of the terminal device reads the information recorded on the card and inputs it to the terminal device.

The card information verification means included in the control device of the terminal device is
The card information input from the card reader is compared with pre-stored card type information and unlocking permission information to determine the card type and determine the validity of the card. If it is determined that the card is a specific card, a determination signal to that effect is output to the communication control means.

Further, if the card is determined to be valid, a determination signal to that effect is output to the lock control means.

The communication control means transmits a code representing the type of the specific card to the central device through the transmission device along with the terminal code set in the terminal device based on the input of the specific card determination signal from the card information verification device. let

Further, the lock control means outputs an unlocking command signal to an electric lock attached to the entrance/exit door of the room in which the terminal device is installed, based on the validity determination signal from the card information verification means. Therefore, the holder of this specific card can open the door and enter the room.

On the other hand, when the central device receives the terminal code and card type code from one of the terminal devices via the transmission device,
The storage control means of the control device sorts the received data by card type and stores it in the storage means, and at the same time, the time data at the time of reception is inputted from the clock means and stored. That is, for the specific card used, the central device stores the room entered using that card using the terminal code corresponding to the room, and the time of entry using data from the clock means.

Furthermore, in the central device, when an output command is input from the input device, the output control means operates, reads out the stored contents of each specific card stored in the storage means, and outputs them to the output device according to a predetermined format. When a specific card is specified on the input device, the terminal code and room entry time corresponding to the room into which the user of the specific card has entered are read out and output to the output device.

[Example of this invention] Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

Furthermore, the mobile recording device according to the present invention uses two types of cards: a specific card and a general card. A specific card is a card used by a specific person who requires a behavior tracking record, as opposed to a general card used by a general person who does not require a behavior record. Each card is recorded with card type information indicating its type and unlocking permission information such as a building number, room number, personal identification number (ID code), and validity period.

Each terminal device has a configuration as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4. That is, 1 is a known card reader that reads information recorded on a magnetic card or the like. 2 is a detection switch provided at the opening/closing part of the door, which detects the opening/closing state of the door and outputs an opening/closing detection signal.

Reference numeral 3 denotes an electric lock, which normally locks the door, but when it receives an unlock signal from the lock control means 43 of the control device 4, it unlocks the door. The transmission device 5 sends information with predetermined contents to the central unit WtB based on the output from the communication control means 44.

The control device 4 includes a card information verification means 41, a lock state determination means 42, a lock control means 43, and a communication control means 44. This control device can be configured using a microcomputer.

The basic configuration and operation of each constituent means of this control device will be explained.

The card information matching means 41 determines whether the card information read by the card reader 1 matches or mismatches the card type information and unlocking permission information stored in advance, and if they match, the card information corresponds to the corresponding card type. A determination signal and a validity determination signal are output. The lock state determining means 42 determines whether the electronic lock 3 is locked or unlocked, and outputs a determination signal corresponding to each state to the lock IIJ control means 43. Lock control means 43
outputs an unlock signal for unlocking the electric lock 3 based on the output signals from the detection switch 2, the card information collation means 41, and the lock state determination means 42.

The communication control means 44 receives an output when the card information verification means 41 determines that the card is a specific card in the card type determination, and based on the output, sets a code representing the card type and settings for the terminal device. The received terminal code is output to the transmission device 5 and transmitted.
