Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a room entry management method for managing people entering a computer room. As is well known, computers not only process a large amount of data or information, but also often handle information related to the fundamentals of business management in companies.

Therefore, conventional measures have been taken to restrict entry to computer rooms by providing doors that can be opened and closed using a card inserted at the entrance of the computer room.

However, with this method, it is possible to know which of the specified persons entered the room, but it is also possible to know which of the specified persons entered the room, and for example, who entered the room and how many times on a given day. I don't understand at all.

The present invention has been made in order to improve the problems of conventional room entry management. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to some embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the relationship between computers, a computer room, and room entry control means, in which (1) is a total of X machines, in which a computer (2) consisting of components M1 to M4 is installed. ing. The computer room is provided with a door (3), which is normally closed by a locking mechanism (4) and opened by a signal (6) from a door opening/closing control means (5). ing. (7) is a card reader installed near the door (3) and on the outside of the room (1), and this reader has a PIN code for entering a PIN number known only to the cardholder. It is equipped with human oysters (7 pieces not shown in Figure 1).

Note that the control means (5) is functionalized as a part of the computer components, and here, for convenience, it is assumed that it is built in the component M1.

In such a configuration, the IC card distributed to a specific person such as a computer operator is inserted into the card reader (7), the PIN is keyed in, and signals are exchanged between the two parties to read and write the card. Built-in I

is built-in, and predetermined information (code number) is stored in the C chip.
This is a card that has a recording function, and outputs the recorded information by applying a predetermined signal from the outside. This card is distributed only to those authorized to enter the computer room (1).

(9) is a memory in which the code number (for example, an employee number) and password of the person authorized to enter the computer room is recorded, and αQ is the code number read from the card (8) and a memo. 9) the code number recorded in
and a matching circuit that checks whether the password entered using the password and the password stored in the memory (9) match.

When the inputted one and the one stored in the memory match, an output aυ is produced and applied to the locking mechanism (4) via the amplifier ae.

The locking mechanism (4) is composed of a solenoid, a locking pin moved by the solenoid, and a spring for automatically returning the pin, and the output of the amplifier (L3) causes the solenoid to move the pin and unlock the door.

Therefore, when the solenoid is not energized, the pin functions to lock the door due to the action of the spring. Pass the reading code number.

Note that, for convenience of explanation, a single code number will be used for explanation here, but it goes without saying that the same can be applied to a plurality of code numbers. A4 is a counting circuit that counts the number of times each code number is read (that is, the number of times it enters the room), and sends the counting result together with the code number to the internal memory of the computer or externally connected memory tte via the recording control circuit (19). The code number and the number of times the user has entered the room are recorded in the memo IJuG in a recording format as shown in FIG.

FIG. 3 shows that the person assigned the code number [a 3025J has entered the room seven times, and if he or she enters the room again the first time, the number of times he or she has entered the room will be updated to "8" and will be updated in the same manner thereafter.

Therefore, by looking at the contents of the memory αυ, you can easily know which code number the person entered the room and how many times.

This can improve the way to deal with computer-related troubles (for example, falsification of data or information). By the way, the above-mentioned embodiment is a basic one, and there are two various changes.

This will be further explained below. If you want to check the contents recorded in the memory Qe, use the attached output means αη (CR
If you have a T display or printer, you can read out the contents and display or print them. II is a clock that can output clock signals 4, and the recording control circuit (I9 is given the above signal (II) to record the number of people entering the room from the start time to the end time, as well as the time of entry, and the code number is recorded on January 10. The purpose is to record each event in chronological order.

In this way, it is possible to know who entered the computer room and when, for example, from the start of work at 8 a.m. to the end of work at 5 p.m.

FIG. 4 shows an example in which the code number and room entry time recorded in this manner are printed by a journal printer using the output means (17).

The person with code number l-83025J first entered the room at 8:15 a.m., and has entered and exited the room several times since then.

This indicates that the last time he entered the room was at 4:20 p.m. On the other hand, the person with code number "83o26" is 9 a.m.
This shows that he entered the room at 4:40 p.m., and the last time he entered the room was 4:00 p.m.

Since this invention uses an IC card and a password as described above, it is extremely effective in controlling entry into a computer room.

In addition, in the embodiment, a control means (
Although 5) is shown in a block configuration, it goes without saying that this can be functioned by the hardware of the computer itself.
