Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To switch the setting and releasing of a guard mode by only a reliable person even if he does not have a card by providing an individual identification means for identifying an individual by physical individual information and a mode switching means for changing over the setting and the releasing of the guard mode after the individual is identified with the means. SOLUTION: An entering person number detection means 4 detecting whether an entering person is one or plural and the individual identification means 1 constituted of a retina identifier for checking to which retina pattern of registrant who is previously registered a detected retina pattern is matched are provided in a gate zone 3. When one entering person exists, an identification processing by the individual identification means 1 is effectively executed for the first time. When one entering person exists and the detection pattern is matched with the registered pattern and he is judged to be a valid person for entrance, thereby permitting entrance for him. When the valid person for entrance passes through the gate zone 3 and he enters a closed area, the guard mode is automatically released.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a facility security system called a so-called mechanical security system, a card-type facility-side unit connected to a security company via a line is installed in a facility such as a store. When a person etc. leaves, the security mode is set by inserting a card, and when the door window is opened by a suspicious person at night, this is detected by a sensor and the occurrence of the abnormality is reported to the management center of the security company,
Guards are running in minutes to tens of minutes. Then, the next morning, a store employee or the like who first comes to the facility can open and close the door window freely by inserting the card into the facility side unit again to release the security mode.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the above,
The reason why the card is required is to set and release the security mode, and in particular, to release the security mode only to the card holder who can be trusted, thereby ensuring security. This is because it is troublesome for a clever intruder who does not detect the opening of the door window on the sensor or a person who hides and hides in the store to cancel the security mode without permission.

However, due to the existence of such a card,
It is necessary to strictly protect the card from loss, theft, and forgery, and it is troublesome to carry the card at all times when the store is closed.If you forget the card, you will not be able to enter the store, There is a problem that you have to get the card back.

A main object of the present invention is to provide a facility security system which is simple in operation and high in security, and can be switched between security mode setting and release only by a reliable person without a card.

[0006]

According to the first aspect of the present invention,
In order to achieve the above-mentioned main purpose, as shown in FIG. 1, in a facility security system including a facility side unit U for setting a security mode for notifying the occurrence of an abnormality to a management center and canceling the security mode, a human physical individual A personal identification unit 1 for inputting information to identify a registered person;
Mode switching means 2 for switching between setting and canceling of the security mode after being identified as a registered person
Was provided.

Here, the abnormalities reported to the management center include the door windows D1 to D6 of the facility to be guarded (the number is arbitrary).
Has been opened or the locks K1 to K6 have been broken. Physical personal information includes eyeball information such as retinal blood vessel patterns (retinal patterns) and iris patterns, which are the innermost layer of the eyeball wall of the human eye, and all unique information such as fingerprints, voiceprints, signature handwriting, etc. Contains information.

The security mode is switched from set to release or from release to set after the personal identification means 1 identifies that the user is a registered person. It is specified whether to set or cancel by such as, one that switches immediately after identification, one that switches when a predetermined time lag has passed after identification, or
It includes a switch that switches when the push button switch 60 following the identification performs a set or release operation, and a switch that switches when the door 32 that is opened upon entering the facility after identification closes as shown in FIG.

The mode switching means 2 based on personal identification uses personal information instead of a card as a key, and does not require insertion of a card. Conventional operations may be used together. However, the conventional card and the card insertion unit J on the security device M are basically unnecessary in the present invention.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the mode switching means is used as shown in FIG.
Is a release means for releasing the set security mode at least before the first entry into the facility.
4 and 6 also have this configuration.

In the apparatus shown in FIG. 2, the security mode is always released from the security mode, including when first entering the facility at the opening of a store or the like, but the operation means 60 comprising a push button switch or the like is required.
The operation of the security mode allows the user to set the security mode at any time. 4 and 6, when entering the facility for the first time, that is, when all of the store employees leave and then re-enter, the security mode is released on condition of personal identification. The security mode can be set and released arbitrarily as long as the store employee or the like is in the facility by operating the operation means 6 including the above.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, a personal identification means is used to ensure further simplicity of operation and higher security by eliminating the need for a key or card when entering a facility. The input unit 1 is installed in the gate zone 3 partitioned between the two doors 31 and 32 that communicate with the outside of the facility, the means 4 for detecting the number of people entering the gate zone 3, and the facility entering the gate zone 3. When the number of visitors is one and the registered person is identified, the second
Entry permission means 5 for opening the door 32 and permitting entry into the facility, and release delay means 20 for releasing the security mode only when the individual enters the facility after personal identification of the visitor.

Here, the entrance mode is actually canceled when the visitor enters the facility because the entrance permitting means 5 opens and closes the second door 32 leading to the facility and the gate zone 3. Or when the presence of no occupants is detected by the number of occupants detection means 4.

The invention described in claim 4 prevents the security mode from being forgotten when a store employee or the like leaves the facility and no one is in the facility, and ensures that the security mode is enforced to ensure security. As shown in FIG. 4, in order to ensure the security, as shown in FIG. 4, the operation means 6 installed in the facility where the security mode is arbitrarily set and arbitrarily released, and the security mode set by the operation means 6 is used to set the second security mode from the facility The exit permission means 7 for opening the door 32 is provided. If store employees are in the facility, once the security mode is set, the security mode can be canceled again due to sudden loading of luggage or misunderstanding, but when the last exiting person leaves the facility The security mode is always set.

[0015] The invention according to claim 5 is a skillful intruder or a person who hides and hides in the facility after the store is closed, in which no abnormality is detected on the sensor for opening the door window after the final exit from the facility. In order to reliably prevent the user from operating the operation means 6 to release the security mode without permission, as shown in FIG.
After the second door 32 opened by the exit permission means 7 is closed, an optional cancellation invalidating means 8 for invalidating the optional release operation of the security mode by the operation means 6 is provided. The invalidation of the optional release operation is performed immediately after the second door 32 is closed.
Also includes those that are executed when a predetermined time lag has passed or when a predetermined action associated with a subsequent leaving has been performed.

According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the last exiting person opens the second door 32 in order to exit, but suddenly stops and does not enter the gate zone 3 and closes only the door 32 to enter the facility. Considering that there may be a case where the last exited person truly exits, the second door 32 may be disabled for the first time when the last exited person truly exits, as shown in FIG. When the exiting person opens the first door 31 leading out of the facility from the gate zone 3 after the closing of the operating means 6,
The optional release invalidation delay means 80 for invalidating the optional release operation of the security mode by the user is provided.

Here, when the first door 31 is opened, at least the last exiting person is in a state of entering the gate zone 3, and when this is detected by the number-of-entry detecting means 4, or This includes when the personal identification means 1 is accessed again to open the first door 31, or when the first door 31 is actually opened and closed.

[0018]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the switching between the setting and cancellation of the security mode in the facility unit U by the mode switching means 2 is already registered by the personal identification means 1. The condition is that the individual is identified. The identification of a registered person by the personal identification means 1 is performed by a person based on a great variety of physical personal information, so that switching of the security mode by an unregistered third party can be eliminated. Further, the mode switching means 2 based on personal identification uses personal information as a key instead of a card, so that operation with a card can be eliminated. In this way, only a person who can be trusted without a card can switch between setting and canceling the security mode, and high security can be ensured while operation is simple.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, the security mode is set by the mode switching means 2 constituting the canceling means before the first entry into the facility under the condition of personal identification. Can be canceled. The security mode set before entering the facility for the first time is maintained during the period when security of the facility should be monitored exactly, such as at midnight, and a system to notify the management center if a suspicious person etc. has entered during this period Must be maintained. During this period, for example, if a clever intruder who does not detect the opening of the door window on the sensor or a person who is hiding in the store after closing the store cancels the security mode without permission, the security will be cut off after that Will be. However, in this case, since the security mode set before the first entrance to the facility is always released on condition of personal identification, no one except the registrant can release the security mode without permission. Therefore, security can be ensured.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, a person who intends to enter the facility opens the first door 31 and enters the gate zone. In the gate zone 3, when the number of visitors is detected by the number-of-entry detecting means 4, and when the registered person is identified by the personal identification means 1, the entrance permitting means 5 leads to the second facility. The second door 32 is opened to allow entry into the facility. Even without a key or card, entry of unregistered persons who are not eligible for entry and simultaneous entry of multiple persons with accompanying persons can be strictly excluded. Here, after identification of eligibility for entry in Gate Zone 3,
If the qualifying registrant leaves the facility again without actually entering the facility, the security mode is maintained without releasing the security mode. When a registrant who is eligible for admission actually enters the facility, the security mode is released by the release delay means 20 only at this time, and preparations such as a normal opening of the store can be made thereafter.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, when a store employee or the like is present in the facility by operating the operation means 6, even if the security mode is set to try to leave once, the luggage is not If there is a sudden carry-in or the like, the security mode can be freely released by operating the operation means 6 again, and the carry-in of the luggage can be dealt with. When the final exit is about to exit, the second door 32 is not opened by the exit permission means 7 unless the security mode is set, so that the security mode is always set and the security mode is set. Forgetting can be surely prevented.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, the last exiting person opens the second door 32, and after this door 32 is closed, the arbitrary release invalidation means 8 causes the operation means 6 to release the second door 32. Of the security mode is invalidated. For this reason,
After the final exit from the facility, the security mode can be reliably prevented from being released by a sophisticated intruder, a store concealer, or the like, and security can be ensured.

According to the invention as set forth in claim 6, as shown in FIG. 6, even if the last exiting person attempts to exit and once opens and closes the second door 32, the final exit does not enter the gate zone 3 and enters the facility again. In the case of returning to work or the like, the operation of releasing the security mode by the operation means 6 is not invalidated, so that it is possible to deal with the loading of luggage. Then, the first door 31 that the final exiting person tries to exit truly from the gate zone 3 to the outside of the facility.
Is opened, the arbitrary release operation is invalidated for the first time by the arbitrary release invalidation delay means 80, and security thereafter can be ensured.

FIG. 3 shows an example of application to a bank.
The store 9 has an open area 91 and a closed area 92. The open area 91 is divided into a guest lobby 94 and a clerk's office area 95 with a counter 93 interposed therebetween, and further has a machine corner 97 in which a cash dispenser 96 is installed. At the back of the closed area 92, a safe room 99 for installing a safe 98 is defined.

The door windows to be guarded are the first to first doors where customers enter and leave.
The fourth doors D1, D2, D3, and D4, the fifth door D5 to which employees mainly enter and leave during business hours, and the sixth door D6 to which employees enter and exit the closed area 92 during business hours, a total of six. There. These doors D1 to D6 function as automatic doors during business hours, so that people can freely enter and exit from inside and outside. Electronic locks K1 to K6 constituting locking means are installed in each of the doors D1 to D6, respectively, and controlled by a centralized control panel installed in the closed area 92 or the like, and the locks are individually, individually, or in groups. Can be turned on and off.

In the closed area 92, as shown in FIG. 4, security equipment M constituting the facility unit U is installed. The security device M receives a lock signal or a door closed state detection signal from each of the doors D1 to D6 to be guarded, and after setting the security mode, any one of the locks is broken or the door is closed. When actually opened, a report is sent to the security company management center via the communication line L.

At the entrance of the facility in the closed area 92, there are provided a first door 31 which contacts the outside, a second door 32 which contacts the inside of the facility, and a gate zone 3 which is partitioned by partition walls 33 and 34. The size of the inside of the gate zone 3 is such that an adult can enter inside while standing, and free movement of the limbs is not hindered, for example, 9 in a plan view.
As shown in FIG. 5, the height from the floor surface 35 to the ceiling 36 is about 210 cm. The size may be arbitrarily large or small according to the frequency of traffic of people. In the illustrated case, the doors 31 and 32 are manual doors by turning knobs. However, the doors 31 and 32 may be automatic doors that open automatically for a certain period of time after the opening permission is issued. .

The first door 31 is opened by inputting a formal password from the numeric keypad 30 installed on the wall of the alcope 37 facing the outside, and is allowed to enter the inside of the gate zone 3 from outside. Is done. At the time of this entry, the key may be opened and closed by receiving a key or card input. However, in particular, when the ten-key input device 30 using a password is used, it is not necessary to carry the key or card at all, and the operation is not required. It is simple and safer to manage. After entering the gate zone 3, the first door 31
It is locked again so that it cannot be opened freely from inside. However, changing the specifications, gate zone 3
It is also possible to freely open only from inside and go outside.

In the inside of the gate zone 3, a personal identification means 1 comprising a retinal identification machine is provided. The viewing window (finder 11) for detecting a retinal pattern is arranged at the height of the eyes of a short person. The retinal discriminator constituting the personal identification means 1 checks whether or not the detected retinal pattern matches with the registered retinal pattern of any registered person.

Inside the gate zone 3, this zone 3
There is provided a number-of-entry detecting means 4 for detecting whether the number of occupants is one or more in a situation where the presence or absence of a floor area for detecting one person is unknown to the entrant. The details are as follows. A single person area A (dotted with a size of 70 cm square, for example) having a size necessary and sufficient to allow one adult to stand at the personal identification Area) is divided into another peripheral area B,
A person does not straddle the boundary between the two areas A and B, and only one area A
Floor surface 3 that detects that only one person is standing alone
5, six other person detecting foot sensors S1 to S6 arranged at, for example, about 30 cm, and a person detecting sensor S0 for confirming a person entering in the one-person area A below the personal identification means 1 (slightly below the chest); It is composed of ceiling sensors S7 and S8 for detecting others, which are arranged near the back of the ceiling 36 in order to strictly exclude entrance by piggybacks, shoulder carriages and the like.

Each sensor can be installed in each of the doors 31 and 32, but all sensors are installed on a stationary member such as a partition wall of the gate zone 3 in order to improve installation and stability of detection. ing. The sensors S1 and S2 that define the parallel boundaries between the doors 31 and 32 use transmission-type optical sensors or ultrasonic sensors in which a transmission unit and a reception unit face each other. The sensors S3 to S6 that define parallel boundaries with the partition walls 33 and 34, the person detection sensor S0, and the ceiling sensors S7 and S8 are formed using a reflection-type optical sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, an infrared sensor, or the like. I have.

The sensors S0 to S8 constituting the number-of-entry-detection means 4 are input to the number-of-entry-number determination means 40 which is constructed on a controller 100 comprising a personal computer, a microcomputer or a sequence controller. Due to the foot sensors S1 to S6, there is no obstacle on the trajectory of the invisible signal such as light guide, and a person does not straddle the boundary between the two areas A and B.
And the ceiling sensors S7 and S8 detect that there are no obstacles on the trajectory of the invisible signal such as light guide and that there is no piggyback ride. In this case, it is determined that the number of people entering the gate zone 3 is one. And
Only when there is only one resident, the identification processing by the personal identification means 1 can be effectively performed for the first time by the identification permission means 10 provided on the controller 100, and whether the detected retinal pattern matches the registered retinal pattern is determined. The result is used effectively for the subsequent processing.

When the detected pattern matches the registered pattern and it is determined that the person is qualified for entrance, the entrance permitting means 5 unlocks the second door 32, and the entrance (entering the facility) is stopped. It becomes possible. After the entrance, the second door 32 is locked again so that it cannot be freely opened from the closed area 92 side. However, for example, the facility use time zone is largely divided into two time zones, and it is not possible to leave all the employees, so it is not necessary to consider setting the security mode. The door may be opened (the first door 31 can also be freely opened from the gate zone 3) and may not be freely opened after 5:00 in the evening when it is necessary to consider the setting of the security mode.

The person who enters by the above-described series of entry management (entry management) is the only one who is eligible for entry, and can strictly cut suspicious persons and those who enter with them.

It should be noted that the determination that only one person enters the gate zone 3 and the determination that the registered person is a registered person by the personal identification means 1 do not have to be simultaneous in time. First, after one person is determined, identification by the personal identification means 1 is permitted to determine that the person is a registered person.
May be opened, or first, the personal identification means 1
, It may be determined that the user is a registered person, and the door 32 may be opened later when both conditions are satisfied.

When a qualified person enters the closed area 92 through the gate zone 3, the security mode is automatically canceled. That is, the controller 100 is provided with release means constituting the mode switching means 2 and release delay means 20 for delaying the release from the personal identification. After the personal identification, the second door 32 is once opened and closed by the admission permission means 5. At this time, when the number-of-entry detecting unit 4 in the gate zone 3 detects an unmanned state, the security mode in the set state is automatically canceled. The condition that the detection of the unmanned state in the gate zone 3 is also required is that even if the second door 32 is once opened and closed, the eligible person may not enter the closed area 92 but stop in the gate zone 3. , In this case,
This is because maintaining the set state without canceling the security mode is in keeping with security.

At night, when the last exiting person comes home, the closing duty of the last exiting person or another colleague checks the locks of all the electronic locks K1 to K6 on a control panel or the like. On the security device M, the security mode is set by operating means 6 comprising a push button switch. The set and release operations by the operation means 6 can be performed arbitrarily, and no card or the like is required. In this way, when the locking signals indicating the closing operations of all the guard target door windows D1 to D6 are fully prepared and the security mode is set, the exit permitting means 7 allows the final exit person to move to the second door 32. Can be opened.

By the way, in many existing mechanical security systems, the state in which each security window is closed is detected by a sensor, and the security mode can be set only when all the windows are closed. There are many things. Therefore, if the security mode can be set, all the windows D1 to D6 are in a closed state. However, in this case, the second door 32 is opened on the condition that the lock completion signals of the electronic locks K1 to K6 are provided, so that the doors are tightly closed. However, in the case where the security mode setting condition itself on the security device M is provided with the lock completion signal, if the security mode can be set, it means that all the locks have been performed.
In FIG. 4, a line (dotted line) for inputting each locking signal to the exit permission means 7 is unnecessary.

When the second exit 32 opens the second door 32 and the final exit enters the gate zone 3 and once the second door 32 is closed, the second exit 32 is locked and is locked from the gate zone 3 and the closed area 92 side. Door 32 cannot be opened.
The final exiting person who has entered the gate zone 3 receives the confirmation of being a registered person again through the identification processing by the personal identification means 1 and then receives only the first door 31 on the outdoor side by the sub exit permission means 70. (The first door 31 cannot be freely opened from the gate zone 2).

When the last exiting person opens and closes the second door 32 upon exiting, the arbitrary release invalidating means 8 invalidates the arbitrary release operation of the security mode by the operation means 6, and even if the final exiting person returns, the inside of the store is invalidated. Even if a suspicious person is hiding in the room and the person operates the operation means 6, the security mode is not canceled.

When the last exited person who has managed the formal closing of doors goes out and returns home, all the doors D1 to D6 in the store are securely locked, so that effective security can be achieved and the security mode can be achieved. Without forgetting the set, you can get a sense of security in closing management. In addition, the last exit person is not limited to the person who passed through the gate zone 3 first in the morning,
Any person registered in the personal identification means 1 in advance may be used.

In FIG. 3, a gate similar to the gate zone 3 described above is provided at the entrance to the safe room 99. However, the opening / closing control of the door by the identification process by the personal identification means 1 is limited to the time of entry, and the door can be freely opened when leaving the safe 99.

In the example shown in FIG. 6, the final exit is the second door 3
Even if the user opens and closes, at this stage, the optional release operation of the security mode by the operation means 6 is not invalidated, and the personal identification means 1 is accessed by the optional release invalidation delay means 80 to open the first door 31. First, when the user is identified as a registered person, the arbitrary release operation is invalidated.

In FIG. 6, the first and second doors 31, 32 for the gate zone 3 are automatic doors. In the inside of the gate zone 3, the personal identification means 1 is installed on a desk 15 which is recessed in a plane V-shape, and the entrance by the non-visible division of the one person area A and the peripheral area B in the gate zone 3 is performed. The number-of-persons detecting means 4 includes a personal sensor S0 provided in a recess of the desk 15 and a pair of transmission-type other-person detecting foot sensors S9 and S10 arranged about 10 cm above the floor below the left and right legs of the desk 15. , An area sensor for detecting other persons, such as a heat sensing type, which is installed on the ceiling and detects the presence or absence of a person in the area behind the discriminator.
And are used.

4 to 6, a first pressure-sensitive switch installed in the one-person area A and a second pressure-sensitive switch installed in the peripheral area B are used to detect the number of persons entering the gate zone 3. Or by detecting the number of footprints using multiple point-like pressure-sensitive switches installed more densely than the soles of the person on the entire floor. You may. Further, the number of on-board personnel can be detected by using a CCD image sensor, a thermal image sensor, a pulse sensor for detecting a person's pulse, and the like.

As described above, in the embodiment described with reference to FIGS.
The security mode switching by personal identification is combined with the entrance / exit management via the gate zone 3, but is separated from the entrance / exit management, and the personal identification means 1, the mode switching means as in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2. A simple system may be configured with the security device M or the like.

In FIG. 1, after the individual identification, the mode switching is enabled by selecting the setting or cancellation of the security mode by the operation means 60 continuously. In the configuration shown in FIG. 2, the security mode can be set at any time by the operation means 60, and the security mode can be released by a subsequent release operation after the personal identification.
