Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention is applicable to sauna baths, etc., which have a foot box and a changing locker, and where the fee varies depending on the length of use time.
This invention relates to a device that individually manages entry and exit.

[Prior Art] Generally, means for controlling entry and exit of visitors to this type of place is performed when the visitor receives a locker key at a reception desk or counter and when the visitor returns it. In other words, it is managed by the locker key number that visitors receive when entering.
The usage time is calculated by recording the entry time and exit time, and the appropriate fee is paid based on that time.

In this case, a computer is used at the reception or counter to manage the number of visitors, entry times, sales, etc., and when the locker key is handed over to the visitor, the locker key number is input to the computer. At the same time, when the locker key is returned at the time of exiting, the exit and payment information is entered into the computer based on the locker key number. It has become.

However, all of these operations have to be performed manually by the operator, which not only results in poor workability, but also makes it possible for users to enter or exit incorrectly if they become sloppy. , there are situations where the returned locker key must be immediately handed over to the customer, and if there is a mistake in entering it, the usage time of the previous visitor and the subsequent visitor will continue, and the subsequent entry will be delayed. This poses a problem in that troubles may arise as a result of fraudulent extension charges being billed to the person concerned.

In addition, it is possible to use the locker key as a signal source for entry and exit by controlling the usage status of the locker, but since visitors may open and close the locker on the way, the locker cannot be used as a signal source for entry and exit. There is also the problem that using it as a signal source involves too many elements of uncertainty.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention reduces the manual input work by the operator as much as possible, utilizes the operation sections at multiple locations that occur with the user's actions as a signal source for entry and exit, and provides accurate The aim is to solve the problems of trouble and uncertainty by making it possible to obtain accurate data.

[Means for Solving the Problems] As specific configurations for solving the above problems, the present invention provides a device that emits a signal by locking and unlocking a lower foot key, a locker that can be opened and closed with a locker key, a key box in which the locker key is stored and generates a signal when the locker key is stored and when the locker key is taken out; a computer into which each of the signals is input; An entrance/exit management device for a sauna bath, characterized in that it is configured to notify when there is an abnormality in the order of signals from each signal source at the time of entry and exit for each corresponding key. This system eliminates input errors by operating a computer by combining the signals obtained by the locker key removal and storage operations with the signals obtained by the user operating the foot box. Accurate data can be obtained.

[Embodiments] Next, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to illustrated embodiments. Reference numeral 1 denotes a computer installed inside a reception desk or a counter, and usually has a display section, an operation section, a storage section, and a calculation section. Part 2 of the printer for printing data
It is equipped with A device that can obtain a signal by operating the lower foot key as a signal source for this computer!
! 3. For example, connect the foot box. This shoe box is usually installed at the entrance and is divided into sections so that a large number of footwear can be stored individually.A door is attached to the front of each section, and each door has a lockable door at the bottom. A foot key is provided and a serial number is attached.

A signal is obtained by each locking operation of each foot key, and the signal is input into the computer for each foot key. Further, a key box 4 is connected to the computer 1 as another signal source, and the key box is configured to house the lower foot key and a locker key for opening and closing the locker 5.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, this key box 4 is divided into two upper and lower stages, each having a serial number 6 and keyholes 11a and 11b so as to hold a pair of keys.

The keyholes 11a, 12a... arranged in the upper part are the keyholes in which the correspondingly numbered lower foot keys in the lower foot box 3 are stored, Keyholes 11b arranged in.

12b... is a keyhole for storing a locker key.

For example, both the foot box 3 and the locker 5 are numbered from 1 to n, and the foot key for opening and closing the door numbered 1 of the foot box 3 is stored in the keyhole 11a, and the locker A locker key for opening and closing the door numbered 1 in number 5 is stored in the keyhole 11b. Therefore, the visitor will use the locker with the same number as the serial number in the foot box 3.

In other words, when the number of visitors is O, the locker keys are inserted into the lower keyholes 11b, 12b, etc. of the key box 4 and are in the stored state, and the upper keyholes 11a, 12a,...
・is empty. Therefore, when someone enters the room, they first store their shoes and the like in the foot box 3, lock it, remove the foot key, and come to the reception desk or counter. At the reception desk or counter, visitors are asked to submit their lower foot key, which is placed in the upper keyhole of the key box 4 with the corresponding reference number 6, and the paired locker key is placed in the lower row. Take it and hand it to the visitor. For example, if an visitor brings the lower foot key numbered 1 to the reception desk or counter, the staff at the counter will place the lower foot key numbered 1 based on the serial number @6 in key box 4. The locker key is inserted into the upper keyhole 11a and stored, and the locker key stored in the lower keyhole 11b is pulled out and handed to the visitor, and the locker with serial number 1 is also used. When a visitor leaves the venue, the above procedure can be reversed. That is, the user inserts the locker key into the lower row of the corresponding serial number, and then handles and hands the pair of lower foot keys on the upper row. Of course, expenses will be settled during this time.

[Function] In the entrance/exit management device of the present invention having the above configuration,
As shown in Fig. 3, when Toma enters the shoe box and locks it, a signal A is obtained by the locking operation.
The signal A is automatically input into the computer 1.

Next, the visitor can obtain signal B by inserting the lower foot key submitted to the reception desk or counter into the keyhole at the top of the key box 4 with the corresponding serial number, or by handling the locker key. automatically entered into computer 1. By sequentially inputting these signals A and B, entry is confirmed, time, etc. are managed by the computer, and accurate data is stored.

After the lower foot key is inserted into the upper keyhole of the key box 4 with the corresponding serial number, the paired lower locker key is pulled out and the locker key is handed to the visitor. Use the locker corresponding to the serial number on the key to undress and take a bath. Pay for services such as pine sage or food and beverages received during admission. In this case, a signal is generated by storing the locker key or removing the lower foot key from the key box 4, and that signal becomes the initial signal for exiting. and service fees and purchase fees for food and drinks received by visitors while bathing;
Furthermore, the extension time for admission, etc. is stored in the memory of computer 1.
The amount is accurately calculated and settled by the accumulation section and calculation section. After paying, the visitor receives the foot key and inserts the foot key into the keyhole with the corresponding reference number in the foot box to unlock the door, obtaining a signal, which is input into computer 1 and exiting the venue. This is confirmed.

Therefore, at the time of entry, the signal obtained by locking the foot box becomes the initial signal for entry, and when the foot key is inserted into the key box 4 or the locker key is removed, it becomes an entry confirmation signal. Furthermore, when exiting, the signal obtained when the locker key is stored in the key box 4 or when the lower leg key is taken out becomes the exit initial signal, and when the lower leg box is unlocked with the lower leg key, it becomes the exit confirmation signal. Since the locking and unlocking of the foot key in the foot box is done by the visitor, and only the employee is responsible for storing the key in the key box 4, the data for the combination 1-ter 1 is limited to human labor. signals can be obtained accurately.

In the signal source, if locking/unlocking operations and insertion/extraction operations cannot be performed smoothly, chattering occurs as shown in FIG. 4.

However, in any case, as long as the operating procedures are correct, entry confirmation and exit confirmation can be accurately stored as data. Moreover, the key box 4
, when a lower foot key or locker key is inserted into a keyhole other than the one with the corresponding reference number, not only is it impossible to input into the computer because there is no initial signal, but key operations are also disabled, and at the same time the locker key is not pulled. It is constructed in such a way that it cannot be handled. In other words,
The next operation can only be performed when the corresponding pair of upper and lower keys are correctly inserted according to the serial numbers, thereby preventing errors due to discrepancies in the serial numbers during the operation stage.

However, if there is an operational error, there are two possible mistakes as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. First of all, the fifth
The chart shown in the figure is for a case where the entrance is normal and an error occurs when exiting. This happens when the visitor makes some mistake and opens the foot box before the key box when exiting the venue.If such a mistake occurs, it will be notified and the operation error will be checked. Furthermore, the chart shown in FIG. 6 shows a case where a mistake occurs at the time of entrance, and the key box is activated before the signal from the foot box is received, resulting in significantly longer bathing time and problems with fees, etc. Therefore, even if such an operational error occurs, it can be promptly notified and the error can be checked in advance. In any case, if there are any mistakes in the operating procedures at the time of entry and exit, they can be accurately checked and recorded, so that they can be retrieved at any time using a printer, etc.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the entrance/exit management device according to the present invention uses the locking and unlocking operations of the foot box by the visitor as a signal source, and also uses the foot key when the visitor locks and unlocks the foot box. The operations that occur due to the act of storing the device are also used as a signal source, and both entry and exit are managed by ANDing the signals from both signal sources, which not only prevents operational errors but also prevents entry This provides an excellent effect in that there is no room for trouble because the user's usage time etc. are accurately accumulated and the charges accordingly are calculated fairly.

In addition, since the signal source in the foot box is operated by each individual entering the system, it saves operating procedures and the number of lines of work for employees, and has the excellent effect of providing accurate data necessary for management. .
