This is used to input the password when unlocking the Locker 1 and taking out the luggage.The display 2 is used to input the housing unit number (registration number) from the numeric keypad 3 and when the Locker 1 is unlocked. When locked, the unit number will be displayed. The housing controller 6 and the home controller 4 are installed in an apartment complex to control information communication between the manager and other outsiders and each housing unit, and to perform disaster prevention and other general management of the housing. The housing controllers 6 are installed in a common management room such as a manager's room, and the home controllers 4 are installed in each housing unit. That is, in an apartment complex, a home controller 4 is installed in each housing unit 7, and a locker 1 and a housing controller 6 are installed in a management room 8, as shown in FIG. In addition, each dwelling unit has 5 indicators.
will be installed. The display 5 displays the password of the locker 1 when the housing unit number (registration number) is input from the numeric keypad 3 and the locker 1 is locked.

Next, the operation of the system according to the present invention will be explained using a specific example with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.

As an example shown in Figure 3, "302" is sent from the delivery company.
A package was delivered to the residence in room number 302, but since the resident of room 302 was absent at the time, the manager stamped the receipt and took custody of the package. At this time, first, the manager stores the luggage in locker number 2, for example, and then uses the numeric keypad 12 corresponding to that locker to enter locker number 2 and housing unit number (registration number) 302. Enter the following information. When the input signal from the numeric keypad 12 is sent to the housing controller 14, the housing controller 14
performs the processing shown in FIG. In other words, it recognizes the locker number "2". Perform the following processing.

Recognizes the residential unit number "302". Perform the next process.

Set a PIN number. The password ("1821" in the example in Figure 3) is, for example, the housing controller 1.
It is possible to adopt a method such as installing a random number generator in 4 and using the number generated by this random number generator, or deciding an arbitrary number for each dwelling unit in advance and using this number. can. Perform the following processing.

Lock the lock 13 of the locker numbered "2".
Perform the following processing.

A password ("1821" in the example of FIG. 3) is sent to the home controller 16 in room "302" via the communication line.

By performing this process, the home controller 16 of room "302" displays and outputs the password number "1821" on the display 17. The housing controller 14 includes a table 15 in which the locker number "2", the housing unit number "302", and the password "1821" are registered in accordance with the results of the above processing.

By performing the above process, when the resident of room "302" returns home, he will find that his luggage is stored in the locker according to the PIN number displayed on the display 17, and the PIN number for receiving it will be "1821". You can know that. Therefore, the residential unit number "302"
By entering the locker number "2" and the password "1821" from the numeric keypad 12 of the locker on the display 11 where is displayed, you can unlock the lock 13 of the locker and receive the luggage inside. can. At this time, the housing controller 14 performs the process shown in FIG. 5. In other words, it recognizes the locker number "2". Perform the following processing.

Recognize the PIN code "1821". Perform the following processing.

It is compared with the password of locker number "2" in table 15. If OK (match), the next process is performed, and if NG (mismatch), the process ends.

Unlock the lock 13 of the locker numbered "2".
Perform the following processing.

A command to delete the password is sent to the home controller 16 in room "302" via the communication line.

In the above example, the lock car number and the housing unit number are used as the lock signal for the lock car, but just by inputting the housing unit number, the home controller 16 can recognize the lock car number from the numeric keypad using the input key along with the housing unit number. If this is the case, just the housing unit number is sufficient. Furthermore, when unlocking a locker, it is sufficient to memorize the PIN number displayed on the display 17 and input the PIN number to the locker on which the corresponding housing number is displayed; however, the display 11 can be omitted; The locker number may also be displayed on the display 17, so that a corresponding locker can be found based on the locker number without having to search for the housing unit number on the locker display 11.

Even if the display 11 and numeric keypad 12 are not installed for each locker, they are grouped together, and the locker number and other necessary numerical information are entered using one numeric keypad, and the displays related to each locker are displayed together. good. Furthermore, if an arbitrary number is determined in advance as a PIN for each dwelling unit as mentioned above, it is sufficient for each dwelling unit to memorize its own PIN number. The display on the display 17 can also be omitted. Therefore, in this case, if the locker is locked by entering the locker number and housing unit number (consignor number), the system configuration can be changed by simply associating the password determined for that unit with the locker number. As a result, communication between the housing controller 14 and the home controller 16 is no longer required, and the table 15 indicating the notification destination of the password from the housing controller 14 is eliminated.
The housing unit number column is also no longer necessary. By doing this, the PIN number is not fixed to the locker, so a small number of lockers can be shared by different PIN numbers.

In the present invention described above, an example of application to an apartment complex has been explained, but in the present invention, the residential building controller 14 shown in FIG. 3 is configured with a general-purpose control device,
It can also be applied as a luggage storage system in which the communication line to the home controller 16 is replaced with an output means such as a printer. That is, in Figure 3,
By inputting a lock signal from the numeric keypad 12, a random number generating means or the like generates an arbitrary password to lock the locker. Then, by using a display device, a printer, or the like as an output means, the password can be shown to the user along with the locker number by displaying it on the display device or printing it out from the printer. Therefore, in this case, if the user memorizes the displayed locker number and password or has a printed copy of the same, the user can enter the password at any time to unlock the locker. In other words, even with this arrangement, a small number of lockers can be shared by setting a different password each time the locker is used, instead of using a fixed password for each locker. As described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications are possible.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, the locker is locked/unlocked by key input from the numeric keypad, so handling is easy and labor can be saved. Moreover, since the unlocking operation is performed using the password according to the verification result, access by a third party can be excluded and reliability can be increased.
