Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an entry management device for managing entry into a computer room.

[Prior art]

As is well known, computers not only process all of the information that is associated with a large amount of data, 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 have no idea.

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention has been made in order to improve the problems of conventional room entry management. [Embodiments of the Invention] Fig. 1 is a diagram showing the relationship between a computer, a computer room, and an entry control device, and (1) is a diagram showing the relationship between a computer, a computer room, and a room entry control device. A door (3) is provided in the computer room in which a computer (2) consisting of components M1 to M4 is installed, and this door +31 is normally closed by a locking mechanism (4). The signal from the door opening/closing control device i1 (51 (6
). (7) is the door (3
) and located on the outer wall of room (1).

In such a configuration, a magnetic card distributed to a specific person such as a computer operator is inserted into a card reader (71K), and the code number recorded on the magnetic recording section (stripe) of the magnetic card is registered. If the numbers match, a signal (6) is generated from the control device (5) and the locking mechanism (4) unlocks the door (3), allowing it to be opened.

Figure 2 mainly shows the door opening/closing control device that is a feature of this invention.
is the same as shown in FIG. (8) has a name written on one side and a photo of the person's face pasted on it, and a magnetic stripe (magnetic part) on the other side.

It is a magnetic card with a number of precautions written on it, and this card is distributed only to those who are permitted to enter the computer room (1). (91 is a memory in which the code number (for example, an employee number) of the person authorized to enter the computer room is recorded.
Le is a matching circuit that checks whether the code number read from the card (8) and the code number recorded in the memory (91) match or not; if the two match, output ri1). , which is applied to the locking mechanism 141K via the amplifier α2. (2υ is a voice synthesis output device, and when the output aυ occurs, it outputs "Dokuzoohairikudasai.", and then converts it into a voice via speaker cj2 to notify the person attempting to enter the room. ,
The above voice synthesis output device c2)1 does not output t1)1 from mode switching K, that is, when the magnetic card is defective and does not match the contents of the memo January 9), or when a tampered card is used. In this case, it outputs ``Nyuushitsu dekimasen.''.

The locking mechanism (4) is composed of a solenoid, a locking pin moved by the solenoid, and a spring for automatic pin return, and the solenoid moves the pin by the output of the amplifier (Iz) to unlock the door.

Therefore, when the solenoid is not energized, K functions to cause the pin to lock the door due to the action of the spring. o3 is a gate, and the output α2 of the matching circuit αG
The condition is set to t-open, and the code number read by the reader (71) is passed through.

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. I is a counting circuit, which measures the number of readings for each code number (i.e., the number of times the room is entered)
is counted, and the counting result is applied to the memory aS along with the code number via the recording control circuit ttst. The code number and the number of times of room entry are recorded in the memory αe in a recording format as shown in FIG.

In FIG. 3, the code number [3025J indicates that the person has entered the room 7 times, and if the person enters the room again in the 0th time, the number of times he or she has entered the room will be updated to "8" and will be updated in the same way thereafter.

Therefore, by looking at the contents of the memory (Le), you can easily know which code numbers have entered the room and how many times, and you can easily find out what to do if a computer-related problem (for example, falsification of data or information) occurs. By the way, the above-mentioned embodiment is a basic one, and there are nine various modifications, which will be further explained below.

If you want to check the contents recorded in the memory μω, read the contents if you have an attached output means (ORT display or printer).

It can be displayed or printed.

α♂ is a clock that can output a clock signal αle, and the above-mentioned signal a [- is given to the recording control circuit α9 to record the number of people entering the room from the start time to the end time and the time of entry into the room α.
This is intended to record data in chronological order for each code number.

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 αη.

The person with the code number 1"83025J first entered the room at 8:15 a.m., and has entered and exited the room several times since then.

This shows that the last time he entered the room was 4:20 am. On the other hand, the person with code number r83026J is 9 am
This shows that he entered the room at 1:40 p.m., and the last time he entered the room was 4:00 p.m.

FIG. 5 shows yet another embodiment of the invention; the arrangement of FIG. 5 further enhances some of the arrangements described with reference to FIGS. 1-4.

In the configuration shown in Figures 1 to 4, an unspecified person can enter the room even if he or she borrows the card of an identified person, so if the card is dropped or stolen, 1 million yen information will be lost. There is a risk that the problem may become serious as K may even leak outside.

Therefore, in the configuration shown in Figure 5, the door cannot be opened unless the person not only inserts the card but also enters a specific number (PIN) that is different from the code number. This is what I did. (2) is a numeric keypad used for this purpose, which is operated to input the above-mentioned password.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Therefore, under certain conditions, the memory contents of Memo January 9) and the code number entered by the card.

Unless the three passwords entered using the numeric keypad ■ match, the output +1) will not occur, and therefore the door will not open and no voice output will be issued to allow entry, making it impossible 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.
