The -1 electric lock AL is unlocked. However, this worker does not access the access unit A of the gate unit other than the gate unit 20-1.
If you insert the portable media 30 into U, you will be allowed to enter the room. "
As a result of the detection of AI "by the check of the work data, the electric locks AL of the gate parts other than the gate part 20-1 are not unlocked.

When the electric lock AL of the gate section 20-1 is unlocked, the entry permission "AI" to the room A is deleted from the work data of the portable medium 30 as a record of entry / exit history. As a result, even when the portable medium 30 is inserted into the access unit AU of the gate unit 20-1 to try to enter the room A again after all the work is completed, the entry permission "AI" into the room A is not detected and the gate is not detected. The electric lock AL of the part 20-1 is not unlocked. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the worker from unnecessarily re-entering the room that left the room when the work is completed.

Furthermore, since the above-mentioned entry / exit history recording is also performed in the corresponding work data included in the work file of the terminal device 10, the operator of the terminal device 10 can always confirm the room in which the work is completed. it can.

In the above embodiment, the portable medium 30 for recording the work data is described as an IC card, but the portable medium 30 is not limited to this. That is, the portable medium 30 may be a magnetic card, a wireless card, or a data carrier other than a card.

Further, in the above embodiment, the work data recorded on the portable medium 30 is modified to record the entry / exit history. However, this work data may indicate only the work number, for example. In this case, each gate unit 20 reports the work number to the terminal device 10, and the terminal device 10 determines whether or not to unlock by checking the work data of this work number in the work file. Further, the entry / exit history may be recorded independently of the work data.
