Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a room entry management method for managing people entering a computer room.

Computers not only process a large amount of data or information as is well known, but in many cases they also handle information related to the fundamentals of management in companies.

Therefore, conventional measures have been taken to restrict entry to computer rooms by, for example, providing doors that can be opened and closed using cards inserted at the entrances of computer rooms. However, with this method, it is possible to know that one of the specified persons has entered the room, but it is not possible to know which of the specified persons has entered the room, or, for example, who has entered the room and how many times in a given day.

The present invention has been made in order to improve the problems of conventional room entry management.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to some embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the relationship between computers, a computer room, and room entry control means; 9. (1) is a computer, in which a computer (2) consisting of components M1 to M4 is installed. The computer room mentioned above has a door (3).
This door (3) is normally closed by a locking mechanism (4), and the door opening/closing control means + 51 signals (
6). (7) is the door (
3) and a card reader installed on the outer wall of room (1). Also, C is a camera that becomes ready to take pictures based on the signal when the door is unlocked.
A person who opens the door and enters the room is photographed at the entrance.

Note that the above control means (5) is included in the components of the computer (2) consisting of M1 to M4. Here, it is assumed that it is included in the component M1.

In such a configuration, a magnetic card distributed to a specific person such as a computer operator is inserted into the card reader (7), and the code number recorded on the magnetic recording section (stripe) of the magnetic card is registered. If the code number matches, a signal (6) is generated from the control means (5) and the locking mechanism (4) unlocks the door (3), allowing it to be opened. and.

The person entering the room is photographed by camera C at the entrance.

FIG. 2 mainly shows the door opening/closing control means which is a feature of the present invention. +41. +51. (6)
The f-force is the same as that shown in Figure 1. (8) has a name written on one side and a photograph of the face attached.
A magnetic stripe (magnetic section) is provided on the other surface.

It is a magnetic card with several precautions written on it, and this card is distributed only to those who are permitted to enter the computer room (1). (9) is the code number of the person authorized to enter the computer room (for example, 2
It can also be your employee number. ) is recorded in the memo 'J-,Q
l is the code number read from the card (8) and the memory (
This is a matching circuit that checks whether the code number recorded in 9) matches the code number recorded in 2. If the two match, it outputs an output aυ and sends it to the locking mechanism (4) via the amplifier Q2. give. On the other hand, the output fin) is also given to the camera C so that it can take pictures. In addition, the lock mechanism (4
) is a solenoid.

It consists of a locking pin that is operated by a solenoid, and a spring that automatically returns the pin.

The output of the amplifier alpha force causes the solenoid to move the pin and unlock the door. Thus, when the solenoid is not energized, the spring action causes the pin to function to lock the door.

αj is a gate, which sets the output H of the matching circuit Q1 as an open condition, and passes the code number read by the reader (7).

Note that, for convenience of explanation, the explanation will be made using one code number, but it goes without saying that the same can be applied to a plurality of code numbers. I is a counting circuit that counts the number of times each code number has been read (i.e., the number of times each code number has entered the room), records the counting results, and sends them to a computer along with an image (photographing the face) of the person entering the room and the code number via the control circuit α4. Video recording means a[9 provided outside component M1
(e.g. video disc or videotape)
give to The video recording means αe records an image, a code number, and the number of times the user has entered the room in a recording format as shown in FIG.

FIG. 3 shows that a person assigned the code number r83025J entered the room once.

If you enter the room again next time, the number of times you entered the room will be updated to "8".

It will be updated in the same way thereafter.

Therefore, by looking at the recorded contents of the video recording means a[il], it is possible to immediately know who has 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-described embodiment is a basic one, and there are various modifications, which will be further explained below.

If you want to check the contents recorded on the video recording means tui, you can read out the contents and display it if there is an attached output means (Iη (CRT display)).(Is outputs the clock signal (19). It is a clock that can perform 1 by giving the above signal [19 to the recording control circuit a9.
For example, it is intended to cause the recording means OQ to record the number of people entering the room from the start time to the end time, and the time of entry in association with the code number.

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

FIG. 4 shows yet another embodiment of the invention. That is, the configuration of FIG. 4 further enhances some of the configurations described using FIGS. 1 to 3. 1st
In the configurations shown in Figs. 3 to 3, an unspecified reveler can enter the room even if he borrows the card of a specified person.

Therefore, if the card is dropped or stolen, there is a risk that important information will be leaked and the problem will become even bigger.

Therefore, in the configuration shown in Figure 4, the door cannot be opened unless two people not only insert the card but also input a specific number (PIN number) different from the code number memorized in their heads. This is how it was done. The keypad is a numeric keypad used for this purpose, and is operated to input the above-mentioned password. Therefore, under certain conditions, unless the contents of the memo (January 9), the code number entered using the card, and the password entered using the numeric keypad match, the output will not be correct. Therefore, the door cannot be opened and it is not possible to enter the computer room. In this way, even if someone steals the card (8) and tries to misuse it, they will not be able to enter the room unless the specified person divulges the password.

Since this invention is configured as described above, it is extremely effective in controlling entry into a computer room. In the embodiment, the control means (5) provided in the computer is shown in a block configuration, but it goes without saying that it can be made to function by the hardware of the computer itself.
