Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance the card reading function of a card type locker system by converting each column of characteristic information consisting of decimal plural column figures into binary system by plural column bits, and utilizing horizontal and vertical parity. CONSTITUTION:Characteristc information consisting of decimal plural column figures converted into binary system by plural column bits and its data A1, A2, A3 is arranged in sequence. Vertical parity B1, B2, B3 by which the sums of bits of each column are 1 in the case of uneven numbers and O in the case of even numbers is found and arranged just behind the data A1, A2, A3. Horizontal parity C which the sums are similarly classified into 1, 0 is found and arranged just behind final column vertical parity B3. The vertical parity D of horizontal parity indicating the uneven and even numbers of the sums of horizontal parity is found and arranged on the final column. A maintenance card or the like made by a magnetic card 4 is read by the card reader 2 of a locker and then the CPU of a control board unit 1 automatically calculates vertical parity B1 to B3, D in sequence from data bits read in sequence and compares and checks them to and against values recorded ion the magnetic card 4 and it is made sure that the card is correctly read at the first work of reading the card.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a card-type locker system used in various facilities having lockers such as golf courses, swimming clubs, athletic clubs, and tennis clubs. The present invention relates to a card-type locker system that can reliably perform reading into a league exactly and without errors in one go.

[Prior Art] Traditionally, lockers have been lent to users at amusement facilities (for example, golf courses and swimming pools), and the locking mechanism for these lent lockers has generally been a mechanical key. method is adopted. In recent years, some golf courses have adopted a numeric scale system that uses push buttons.

However, due to its structure, the mechanical key type does not have complete protection against attempts to open and close by copying the key or by other means, and there are security concerns. Furthermore, according to the one-key type locking mechanism, it is necessary to memorize the password, which is the keyword, and the operation of the keypad when inputting the password is complicated.

Therefore, in recent years, the use of electronic locks has become widespread, which locks or unlocks lockers by reading a card on which unique information is recorded into a card league.

In general, card-type locker systems that use magnetic cards have an operating mode or customer code (facility name - example, ○○
It is necessary to load the system setting values of the golf club etc. into the card league of the locker to be used in advance using the built-in setting maintenance card and store them in the control board (this work is called setting).
The user of the locker reads a player card containing unique information of the locker user (for example, name, address, date of birth, several digit numbers, etc.) for opening and closing the locker.

Then, by loading the player card lent to the user when using the locker into the card league of the locker, the locker can be locked and unlocked only when the stored unique information matches the input unique information. It looks like this.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, if the data read when setting the data for a card-type locker on a fishing boat is not read correctly, even if the data is read using a regular player card, it may be incorrectly read. The stored unique information and the newly input unique information did not match, and the locker could not be locked or unlocked.

Therefore, as a way to determine whether the data read during data setup has been read correctly, it is necessary to read the magnetic card twice during initial setup, and then determine whether the two input data match. , only when there was a match, it was determined that the input was successful and was memorized.

However, with this method, it is necessary to read the magnetic card twice when setting data, which results in poor workability. Especially when there are many lockers in a large-scale amusement facility, there is a problem that it is extremely troublesome, and there has been a desire for some kind of measure to complete the loading in one time.

[Means for solving the problem] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and ensure that the card reading work for initial settings and locking/unlocking is completed in one time,
The card-type locker system of the present invention is composed of a control board unit, a card reader unit, and an electronic lock unit, and uses a card written with unique information as an opening/closing key for the locking mechanism when using the locker. , after converting multi-digit numerical information in decimal notation, which is unique information of the member or visitor of the locker to be used, into binary notation for each digit, data bits S and vertical parity are arranged alternately, and then the data bits are The configuration uses a setting maintenance card and a player card, which are magnetic cards on which the horizontal parity of each digit and the vertical parity of the horizontal parity are arranged.

[Function] In the card-type locker system of the present invention, a multi-digit number (in decimal notation) of key data serving as unique information is stored on a magnetic card used for locking and unlocking the locker, such as a setting maintenance card or a player card. information for each digit 2
The base-converted data bits are alternately arranged with vertical parity, which is 1 when the sum of these data bits is an odd number and 0 when the sum of this data is an even number (including 0), and then each data bit is Horizontal parity in which each digit is arranged in the order of 1 and 0 if the sum of the same digits is an odd number and O if it is an even number (including O), and a horizontal parity in which 1 or 0 is displayed depending on the odd or even number of the sum of the horizontal parities. The vertical parity of

When using a setting maintenance card or player card consisting of a magnetic card arranged and recorded as described above, in addition to the data bits of each digit that are actually read, the vertical parity of each digit, the horizontal parity, and the vertical parity of the horizontal parity. On the other hand, the CPU in the control board unit automatically calculates the above-mentioned vertical parity, horizontal parity, and horizontal parity from the read data bits, and calculates the above three information (vertical parity, horizontal parity, The electronic lock is locked and unlocked by the electronic lock unit only when the horizontal parity and the vertical parity match. If they do not match, a status display LED (light emitting diode) sends out a misread signal or a misread card signal to notify the user.

[Embodiments] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

Figures 1 to 3 relate to embodiments of the present invention; Figure 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a card-type locker system, Figure 2 is an explanatory diagram showing data bit conversion of unique information, and Figure 3 is a magnetic card card. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a data arrangement on an information track of FIG.

As shown in Fig. 1, the card-type locker system is composed of a control board unit 1, a card reader unit 2, an electronic lock unit 3, and a power supply 1a, and the control board unit 1 is a key data storage device that stores operation modes and control data. The key data control unit compares the stored key data with predetermined unique data of the player card (user card) and determines whether they are the same, and locks or unlocks the electronic lock based on the determined result. It consists of an electronic lock control unit that sends lock commands, and a card reader unit 2.
is a manual magnetic card league.

The electronic lock unit 3 consists of a card insertion sensor, an LED (light emitting diode) indicator 2a, and the electronic lock unit 3 includes a door opening/closing sensor, a lock position detector that detects the locked/unlocked state of the lock, an electronic lock drive unit, and loss or damage of the card. It consists of an emergency unlock key in case of an emergency.

4 is a magnetic card.

In order to use a locker in a specific operating mode, the locker must operate as specified in that mode. System settings such as the operating mode and unique information (key data) must be set in advance on the locker's control board. It is necessary to store it in the key data storage unit. In the present invention, this storage is performed only with a magnetic card using a card league.

Next, the arrangement of the unique information of the magnetic card 4 used in the card-type locker system of the present invention will be explained.

As shown in Figure 2, unique information displayed in decimal notation,
For example, the 3-digit number 123 is converted into binary with 7 bits for each digit, 1000000, 010, respectively.
0000, 1100000. These correspond to data A, ,A, ,A, in FIG.

And data A3. Immediately after Aa and As, if the sum of each 7-digit data bit is an odd number, it is set to 1, and even number (
Vertical parity B, , B2
．． Arrange Bs. Immediately after vertical parity B, horizontal parity C is set for each digit of the 7-digit data bits, as above, when the sum is an odd number, it is set to 1, and when it is an even number, it is set to 0.
are arranged, and [vertical parity of horizontal parity] D indicating the odd number or even number of the total sum of horizontal parity is arranged. Therefore, if the magnetic card has three digits of unique information, the information track of the magnetic card 4 has the unique information A1.. as shown in FIG. B+, Ax.

They are arranged in the order of Bx, As, B-, C, and D.

As described above, when the setting maintenance card or player card consisting of the magnetic card 4 on which unique information is arranged is read into the locker's card league 2, the CPU (central processing unit) of the locker's control board unit l sequentially The vertical parity and horizontal parity of each data bit and the vertical parity of the horizontal parity are automatically calculated sequentially from the read data bits and compared with the values recorded on the magnetic card 4. If they match, one card reading operation is performed. Check that it has been loaded correctly.

In this case, if the card reading operation is not performed correctly at a certain speed and the card is read incorrectly, the vertical parity, horizontal parity, and vertical parity of the horizontal parity recorded on the magnetic card 4 are automatically calculated based on the incorrectly read information. The card user is notified of this by an LED (light emitting diode) display 28 or the like.

In addition, when reading with a card other than the specified card, the data bits, vertical parity, horizontal parity, etc. will be different based on the unique information stored in advance, so in this case as well, the LED display 2a will indicate that the wrong card has been used. Ru.

In the embodiments of the present invention, the unique information is illustrated as a three-digit number (in decimal notation), but in reality, the unique information is often displayed as a six-digit number. In this case, the arrangement of the unique information on the information track is Ar, B+, etc.
・Arranged like As, Bs, C, D.

Also, on the magnetic card 4, unique information used in the locker,
In other words, there are many cases where other information exists in addition to the key data (for example, data on the system that uses the magnetic card, data that specifies the beginning and end of card data, etc.), and JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) Since the maximum amount of data that can be stored on a magnetic card is specified in , the number of magnetic cards that are less than the key data position used in the locker (for example, if 6-digit unique information is required) There are also magnetic cards (magnetic cards) that have only 5 digits of unique information for the locker system. Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate magnetic cards that do not match the data format of the magnetic card read by the locker, but the unique information, vertical parity, horizontal parity, and vertical parity of the horizontal parity of the magnetic card used in the present invention must be correctly recorded. According to the present invention, magnetic cards other than those listed are displayed as erroneous cards, so they can be reliably excluded.

As explained above, in the card-type locker system of the present invention, it is not necessary to perform the card reading operation twice during initial setting and when using the locker after setting, but only once.

[Effects of the Invention] When the card-type locker system of the present invention is adopted, the initial settings using the setting maintenance card and the reading of the player card when using the locker can be completed in one go, and misreading and incorrect cards are not displayed. This improves the reliability of card reading work.
