Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce false input and contrive to facilitate a register operation of an ID number by inputting the number of a resister-desired key housing chamber from ten keys and operating an ID card into a leader head and registering the ID number of the ID card. SOLUTION: When an identification card by a specific identification medium is positive, if a register mode setting signal is input, the resister mode will be set and then the number of key housing chambers 8A to 8D will be input. When an identification medium is operated generally, the identification number is registered as a permission identification number of the key housing chambers 8A to 8D displayed with the key housing chamber numbers 8A to 8D. In this case, after deletion mode is set, if the numbers of the key housing chambers 8A to 8D are input, the whole registered identification numbers will be deleted as the permission identification numbers of the key housing chambers 8A to 8D equivalent to that. Furthermore, identification data by a specific identification medium is input as feature of a human body. This construction makes it possible to facilitate register operation and eliminate the need for the safekeeping of a master card and prevent the fear of losing the master card.
