[0015]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, an electronic lock 2 is inserted through the doorphone 1.
It is a system that tries to lock and unlock the. The intercom 1 and the electronic lock 2 are provided outside the door 3, and the main device 4 and the extension telephone 5 are provided inside the door 3, that is, inside the door. The main device 4 is provided with a voice control unit 6 having a voice recognition unit and a voice storage unit described later, and an electronic lock control unit 7.

The intercom 1 is connected to the voice recognition section 8,
The voice password output from the intercom 1 is input to the voice recognition unit 8. The voice recognition unit 8 is connected to the voice storage unit 9 and exchanges signals with each other. Further, the voice recognition unit 8 is the electronic lock control unit 7
, And outputs a lock or unlock command signal to the electronic lock controller 7. The voice storage unit 9 is connected to the extension telephone 5 so that a common password signal for locking or unlocking can be input from the extension telephone 5. The extension telephone 5 has a function of switching to a voice password registration mode and a password output function. Further, the electronic lock control unit 7 is connected to the electronic lock 2 and outputs a signal for locking or unlocking the electronic lock 2.

Next, the operation of this embodiment having such a configuration will be described. To use this system, a voice password registration mode is switched in advance by key operation of the extension telephone 5, and a common password for locking and unlocking is registered in the voice storage unit 9 by voice. Therefore, when the common password previously registered is uttered toward the intercom 1 when going out, the voice recognition unit 8 matches the voice of the common password registered in the voice accumulation unit 9. When the voice is recognized as the voice of the same common password, the voice recognition unit 8 issues a lock command to the electronic lock control unit 7, and the electronic lock control unit 7 receiving the command controls the electronic lock 2 to automatically Lock it.

At the time of returning home, when the voice of the common password is uttered toward the intercom 1 in the same manner as described above, the voice recognition unit 8 matches with the voice of the common password registered in the voice storage unit 9. When the voices of the same common password are recognized, the voice recognition unit 8 to the electronic lock control unit 7
An unlocking command is issued to the electronic lock control unit 7 which has received the command.
Controls the electronic lock 2 and automatically unlocks it.

FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, and the description of the configuration common to the first embodiment will be omitted. In the present embodiment, in the password registration mode, the extension telephone 5 is configured to register a voice password in the voice storage unit 9 separately for locking and unlocking. Other configurations are similar to those of the first embodiment.

The operation of this embodiment having the above structure will be described. When the same voice password as the password previously registered for locking is uttered toward the intercom 1 when going out, the voice recognition unit 8 matches the voice of the locking password registered in the voice storage unit 9 and the same. When the password is recognized as a voice password, the voice recognition unit 8 issues a lock command to the electronic lock control unit 7, and the electronic lock control unit 7 that receives the command controls the electronic lock 9 to automatically lock it.

Further, when returning home, when a voice password for unlocking is uttered toward the intercom 7, the voice recognizing unit 8 verifies the voice of the unlocking password registered in the voice storing unit 9, If it is recognized as the same voice password,
The electronic lock control unit 7 automatically unlocks the electronic lock 2.

FIG. 3 shows a third embodiment of the present invention, and a description of the same configuration as the first embodiment will be omitted. In this embodiment, the extension telephone 5 is connected to the voice storage unit 9 and the signal from the outside telephone 10 can be input. For other configurations, first
It is similar to the embodiment. The outside line telephone 10 has a function of switching to a voice password registration mode and a password output function.

The operation of the third embodiment thus constructed will be described. The system is set in the answering machine answering state in advance. Therefore, when a call is made from the outside line telephone 10 at the destination, an answering machine response message is output after a designated number of ring tones. Next, the key operation of the outside line telephone 10 is switched to the locking and unlocking password registration mode, and the outside line telephone 10 utters a locking and unlocking voice password.

In this way, the outside line telephone 10 arbitrarily changes or newly registers the locked password and unlocked password. Therefore, for example, when an unlock password registered in advance is uttered from the outside line telephone 10 toward the intercom 1 when returning home, the voice recognition unit 8 recognizes the correctness of the unlock password registered in the voice storage unit 9 with the voice. To do. When the same voice password is recognized, an unlock command is issued from the voice recognition unit 8 to the electronic lock control unit 7, and the electronic lock control unit 7 that has received the command controls the electronic lock 2 and automatically unlocks it.

FIG. 4 shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention, and the description of the configuration common to the first embodiment will be omitted. In the fourth embodiment, the electronic lock control unit 7 is also connected to a ten-key pad 11 arranged outside the door 3. Other configurations are similar to those of the first embodiment.

The operation of the present embodiment thus constructed will be described. The door 3 is the same as the first embodiment.
Although the lock and unlock are performed by inputting the voice password through the keypad, the lock and unlock operations are not performed unless the password input operation is performed through the ten keys 11. Therefore, for example, when the unlocking operation is performed, both the operation of inputting the personal identification number from the ten-key pad 11 and the operation of inputting the voice password from the intercom 1
If done correctly, the electronic lock control unit 7 controls the electronic lock 2 and automatically unlocks it.

[0027]

As described above, the present invention has the following effects. According to the electronic lock / unlock system of claim 1, the electronic lock can be locked and unlocked by voice. According to the electronic lock / unlock system of the second aspect, an arbitrary voice password can be registered, and the electronic lock can be locked and unlocked by matching with the voice from the intercom.

According to the electronic lock / unlock system of the third aspect, since the electronic lock is locked and unlocked by voice, it is not necessary to carry a device for locking and unlocking, which prevents loss or theft. Don't worry. Also, to lock and unlock the electronic lock by uttering a password from the doorphone,
The intercom can be effectively used in addition to the intercom. Also,
By registering the locking and unlocking voice passwords separately, you can say the locking voice password when you go out, and even if the voice password leaks to the outside, you can prevent it from being unlocked by others. .

According to the electronic lock / unlock system of claim 4, the registered contents of the voice password and the new registration can be changed from the place where the user goes, so that the inconvenience caused when the password is forgotten or when the user is out of the office for a long time is required. It can be resolved. According to the electronic lock / unlock system of the fifth aspect, the lock can be unlocked for the first time by both the operation of inputting the personal identification number by the ten-key pad and the password utterance from the doorphone, so that the security measures can be thoroughly implemented.
