Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a safe deposit box system.

[Background of the invention]

Conventionally, safe deposit boxes installed in banks, etc. have a structure in which a large number of safe deposit boxes are arranged in a stacked manner based on individual use contracts with customers, inside a safe deposit box with limited entrances and exits.
The front door of each safe deposit box is overlaid with a customer lock that can be unlocked with a key that each customer owns, and a bank lock that can be unlocked with a key controlled by the bank's safe deposit box staff. If a customer wants to use a safe deposit box under contract, they must notify the bank staff at the reception department, and both the bank staff and the customer accompany them to the safe deposit box. A bank representative opens the entrance door using an authentication card or a key in his or her possession, enters the room, and then accompanies the customer to the safe deposit box and unlocks the bank lock. This required extremely cumbersome collaborative work and procedures such as unlocking and unlocking. Therefore, each time a large number of customers visit the bank and request the use of the safe deposit box, the bank's safe deposit box staff must accompany them, which creates the problem that the bank is always burdened with labor, which increases the cost of using the safe deposit box. there were. Therefore, for example, a bank lock attached to each door of one or more safe deposit boxes arranged in a safe deposit box, a family crest disposed at the entrance of the safe deposit box, a magnetic material and a An unlocking unit that has the function of unlocking the bank lock and the family crest, and an authentication code for unlocking the bank lock and the family crest are magnetically attached to the magnetic body of the unlocking unit at a reception department separate from the safe deposit box. It has an encoder that uses characteristic information, and an entry reader and an exit reader of the front self-unlocking unit, and deciphers the authentication code when a customer enters and exits the room to authenticate the electronic unlocking of the family crest. An unlocking device (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 59-111) characterized in that it is provided with a detection means for instructing to take the unlocking unit into a storage section after the decoding when leaving the room.
No. 73473) has been proposed. In addition, the applicant has provided an IC recording medium, an IC recording medium issuing means for issuing this IC recording medium, a magnetic recording medium for operating this IC recording medium issuing means, and a predetermined information on the IC recording medium. A recording means for recording a signal, a door opening means for opening a chamber door by reading information on an IC recording medium recorded by the recording means, a plurality of small rooms installed in the room, and locking the door of the small room. and a locking means that is unlocked with the cooperation of the IC recording medium (Japanese Patent Application No. 63-32857)
No. 3) has been proposed. This proposal is to add additional equipment to the existing safe deposit box system, so that there is no need for the bank's safe deposit box staff to be present when using the safe deposit box.
It has the advantage of reducing the costs borne by the bank and allowing the existing safe deposit box system to be used as is. In addition, safe deposit box systems are not limited to those described above; for example, the customer only has a magnetic card and a key, and when entering the safe deposit box, the customer uses the magnetic card and PIN number to enter the safe deposit box. There is a so-called electric safe deposit box (commonly known as an electric deposit box) in which the door of the safe deposit box is opened and a key is used to open the safe deposit box after entering the room. By the way, this kind of electric safe deposit box system,
As mentioned above, for example, a safe deposit box system in which an IC card, a magnetic card, and a key are used may be installed in the same safe deposit box. In other words, the first type of safe deposit box system was installed in which both the bank staff and the customer had to accompany the customer to the safe deposit box; In order to convert to an electric safe deposit box system that does not require accompanying persons, the previous users must consent to this, and for example, if the user is absent for a long period of time, consent cannot be obtained. In order to convert to a safe-deposit box system that does not require the presence of a bank representative, for example, the technology proposed in Patent Application No. 6:1-328573 must be adopted, and under such circumstances, In order to increase the number of safe deposit boxes as the demand for safe deposit boxes increases, two types of safe deposit box systems are now sometimes installed in the same safe deposit box. However, when these two types of safe deposit box systems are installed in the same safe deposit box, there remains the problem of how to leave the safe deposit box after using the safe deposit box.

[Disclosure of the invention]

The purpose of the present invention is to enable the accompanying equipment to allow the bank staff to accompany the customer, for example, from the so-called electric safe deposit box type and the type where both the bank staff and the customer must accompany the customer to the safe deposit box. To provide a safe deposit box system that allows smooth exit from a safe deposit box when two types of safe deposit box systems, such as one converted to an unnecessary type, are installed in the same safe deposit box. An object of the present invention is to use a first safe deposit box in which the safe deposit box door is unlocked by using a key and a recording medium on which a predetermined information signal is recorded, and a recording medium. A second safe deposit box, in which the door is unlocked by using a key, is installed in the same safe deposit box. A safe deposit box system is provided with a door opening means, wherein the first door opening means includes a first door opening device that is operated to open upon detection of collection of the recording medium, and a second safe deposit box door. This is achieved by a safe deposit box system characterized by comprising a second door opening device that reads information formed on a key used to unlock the door and opens the door. In addition, in this safe deposit box system, a second door opening means for opening the door of the safe deposit box is installed outside the safe deposit box,
This second door opening means includes a third door opening device that is operated to open by reading a predetermined information signal recorded on a recording medium owned by the user of the first safe deposit box, and It is preferable to configure the door to include a fourth door opening device that is operated to open based on information held by the user.

【Example】

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of a safe deposit box system according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 is an IC card, and this IC card 1 is
It is issued by the C card issuing machine 2 and placed in the hands of the user A of the safe deposit box 3. This IC card 1 is issued from IC card issue v & 2, and the magnetic card 4 owned by the user A of the safe deposit box 3 is
When the IC card 1 stored in the IC card issuing machine 2 is inserted into the C card issuing machine 812, the user A's PIN number is entered using the predetermined numeric keys, and the predetermined operation is subsequently performed, the IC card 1 stored in the predetermined position in the IC card issuing machine 2 is inserted. The information signal unique to user A is recorded on the IC card 1 by the IC card recording device 5, and after this information signal is recorded on the IC card 1, the IC card 1 is issued an IC card. It is designed to be issued from the outlet 2a of the machine 2. IC card issue tf! An IC card 1 on which a predetermined information signal issued by 2 is recorded is held in the hands of user A,
Then, this IC is sent to the entry reader 6 installed outside the safe deposit box 5' where a large number of safe deposit boxes 3 and 3' are installed.
When the card 1 is inserted, the information signal of the IC card 1 is read, and if the recorded information signal is correct, the door 7 of the safe deposit box 5' is opened for a predetermined time. Before and after the door 7 is opened, the user A takes out the IC card 1 inserted into the entry reader 6, and enters the safe deposit box 5' with this IC card 1 in hand. Since the door 7 is automatically closed after a predetermined time has elapsed after the door 7 is opened, only the user A is present in the safety deposit box 5'. User A enters the safe deposit box 5' and reaches the location of his safe deposit box 3. When the user A inserts the IC card 1 into the lock device 9 provided on the door 8 of the safe deposit box 3, the IC card 1 is unlocked. The information signal is read, and if the information signal is correct, the plunger lock of the locking device 9 is released, so that the locking device 9 can be slid as shown. . Therefore, user A slides the locking device 9 and
When the key Ka is inserted into the keyhole whose surface is covered by the locking device 9 and the lock is unlocked, the door 8 can be opened, so the user A opens the door 8 and takes out and takes out important items. After putting in and taking out important items, user A closes door 8, locks Ka, removes key Ka from the keyhole, and slides lock device 9 back to its original position to lock it! 9 covers the surface of the keyhole. Thereafter, the IC card 1 is removed from the lock device 9, inserted into the exit reader 10 installed in the safe deposit box 5', and erased by the erasing device 11 built in the exit reader 10. Erase recorded information signals. Then, the user removes this IC card 1 from the erasing device 11 of the room exit reader 10, and then removes the IC card 1 from the erasing device 11 as necessary.
After confirming that the information signal has been erased by step 1 (confirm by inserting this IC card 1 into the lock device 9, and if the lock device 9 cannot be moved, it can be confirmed that the information signal has been erased), leave the room. When this IC card 1 is inserted into the IC card slot 10a of the reader 10, the insertion is detected by the sensor 12, and the door 7 of the safety deposit box 5' is thereby opened. Note that the IC card slot 10a is provided with a closing member 13, and this closing member 13 is used to remove the IC card by the erasing device 11.
Sensor 1 detects that the information signal of card 1 has been erased.
4 is detected, or the IC card 1 is erased by the erasing device 11.
When the sensor 14 detects that it has been inserted into the
The IC card slot 10a is opened, and the IC card 1 can be inserted into the exit reader 10 from the IC card slot 10 (l), so that the IC card 1 whose information signal has not been erased can leave the room. It is designed to prevent mistakes from being thrown into the reader 10. Then, when the door 7 of the safe deposit box 5' is opened, the user A
can go out of the safe deposit box, and when the door 7 is opened for a predetermined time period, the door 7 is automatically closed. Incidentally, when a certain number of IC cards 1 are accumulated in the exit reader 10, this is detected by a sensor and the bank staff is notified of this, so the bank staff enters the safety deposit box 5' by performing a predetermined operation. IC card 1 from inside exit reader 10
Take it out and put it into the IC card issuing machine 2. Furthermore, user B of the safe deposit box 3', which is adopted as a so-called electric safe deposit box, owns a magnetic card 4' similar to the magnetic card 4;
Even if the user B inserts the PIN into the IC card issuing machine 2 and enters the password of the user B using the predetermined numeric keypad, unlike the case of the user A, the IC card is not issued. However, by inserting the magnetic card 4' and inputting the PIN number, the door 7 of the safe deposit box 5' opens in the same way as when user A uses an IC card.
Go inside, go to the safe deposit box 3' (the keyhole of this safe deposit box 3' is not covered with a locking device, unlike the case of safe deposit box 3), insert your iKb into the keyhole, and unlock it. If the door 8' is locked, the door 8' can be opened, and the user B opens the door 8' to take in and take out important items. After putting in and taking out important items, user B closes door 8' and closes the door 8'.
Lock the lock and remove the key Kb from the keyhole. After that, when fiKb is inserted into the keyhole of the exit reader 10 installed in the safe deposit box 5', the exit reader 10
A light emitting element built in the exit reader 10 emits light, and the light from this light emitting element passes through the hole 15 formed in the key Kb and is received by the light receiving element built in the exit reader 10, so that the output of this light receiving element is The door 7 of the safe deposit box 5' is opened by the signal. Then, when the door 7 of the safe deposit box 5' is opened, the user B
can go out of the safe deposit box, and when the door 7 is opened for a predetermined time period, the door 7 is automatically closed. The safe deposit box systems configured as described above include an electric safe deposit box system (the type in which a safe deposit box 3' is used) and a safe deposit box system (a type in which a bank safe deposit box 3' is used) and a safe deposit box system (a type in which an IC card, magnetic card, and key are used). The safe deposit box 3 above has been converted from a type in which both the person in charge of the bank and the customer must accompany the customer to the safe deposit box to a type that does not require the person in charge of the bank to accompany the customer through the use of ancillary equipment. type used)
Although these are installed in the same safe deposit box 5', exiting from the safe deposit box 5' is performed smoothly. Also, what the user A of the safe deposit box 3 and the user B of the safe deposit box 3' usually carry are magnetic cards and [% Ka. Kb, there is no discrimination between the two, and no dissatisfaction arises between users A and H of the safe deposit box. User A of the safe deposit box 3 whose keyhole is covered with a lock device 9 in order to operate the IC card issuing machine 2 As the installer of the safe 3, the current magnetic card 4
can be used as is. When using the safe deposit box 3, the user A has the IC card 1 in addition to the unique magnetic card 4, so the magnetic card 4 and the IC card 1 are inadvertently overlapped. Even if something happens, the information signals recorded on each card will not be lost or changed, and therefore the procedure for reissuing the magnetic card 4 is significantly reduced. Moreover, since the IC card 1 is used to operate the locking device 9 of the safe deposit box 3, even if the number of safe deposit boxes 3 increases, the small IC card 1 can be used. If a large number of safe deposit boxes 3 are to be installed in the safe deposit box 5', the space occupied by the three safe deposit boxes must be made smaller, and the lock W9 must also be made smaller accordingly. However, as the number increases, the amount of information required for unlocking increases, so the locking device must also become larger, but if an IC device is used, even a small device can be used. In other words, it is possible to adequately cope with the increase in the number of safe deposit boxes 3. In addition, some IC cards have an internal power supply, so if this type of IC card is used, the locking device is not required to have a power supply, so if the locking device 9 is slightly modified, it can be used as a current safety deposit box. This can be implemented without major changes to the system, and the locking device 9 can be unlocked even in the event of a power outage, allowing the safe deposit box to be used. In addition, there is no need for a person from the installer to accompany the safe deposit box each time the safe deposit box is used, reducing labor costs for the installer, and the user can also act independently, which reduces the psychological burden when the user wants to keep it a secret. This is advantageous for both the user and the installer.
