Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field 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 many tasks or information, but also often handle information related to the fundamentals of business management in companies.

[Prior art]

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.

[Summary of the Invention] 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.

[Embodiments of the invention]

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the relationship between computers, a computer room, and room entry control means, in which (1) is a computer, in which is installed a computer (2) consisting of components M1 to M4. . 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 outer wall of the room (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, 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 the code number given, a signal (6) is generated from the control means (5), and the locking mechanism (4) unlocks the door (3), allowing it to be opened.

This mainly shows means (5), +41, (5
1, +61, +7) are the same as shown in FIG. (8) has a name written on one side and a photograph of the person's face pasted on it, and a magnetic stripe (magnetic section) on the other side.

It is also a magnetic card with some precautions written on it, and this card has a total of J! It is distributed only to those who are prohibited from entering L aircraft room (11). (9
) is a memory in which the code number (for example, an employee number may be used) of the person authorized to enter the computer room is recorded.
Lll is a matching circuit that checks whether the code number read from the card (8) and the code number recorded in the memory (9) match.

If the two match, output 011 is output, and it is given to lock am (4) via amplifier (1). (211
is a voice synthesis output device, and when an output a-wa occurs, it outputs "Douzoohairikudasai.", converts it into voice through the speaker (23), and notifies the person attempting to enter the room. The voice synthesis output device (2+) is activated when the output aυ is not generated due to automatic mode switching, in other words, when the magnetic card is defective and does not match the contents of the memo (January 9), or when a tampered card is used. outputs "I'm sorry.".

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 output of the amplifier (12) 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. (13 is a gate, which sets the output @ of matching circuit 4 as an open condition and passes the code number read by the reader (7).

Here, for convenience of explanation, a single code number will be used for explanation, but it goes without saying that a plurality of code numbers can be handled in the same way. Q4 is a counting circuit that counts the number of times each code number is read (i.e., the number of times the room is entered), and records the counting result together with the code number via the recording control circuit f1!9. Memo January 1 [Give to 9. Memo January 161 has the 3rd
The code number and number of times of entry are recorded in the recording format shown in the figure.

Figure 3 shows that the person assigned the code number "a 302 sJ" has entered the room 7 times, and if he enters the room again in the 9th time, the number of times he has entered the room will be updated to "8", and the number of entries will be updated in the same way from then on. .

Therefore, by looking at the contents of the memory (1υ), 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, take or falsification of information). By the way, the above-mentioned embodiment is a basic one, and there are nine various modifications.

This will be further explained below. If you want to check the contents recorded in memory 0e, use the attached output means aη(CR
If you have a T-nice play or a printer, you can read the contents and display or print them. A clock that can output the us t'z clock signal (11), and sends the above signal a9 to the recording control circuit a9 to record, for example, the number of people entering the room from the start time to the end time, as well as the time of entry. 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 0η.

The person with code number 1'-a 3025J first entered the room at 8:15 a.m., and has been in and out 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 183026j is 9 am.
I entered the room at 40:00 and was the last one to enter.

This indicates that the biopsy is at 4 o'clock.

FIG. 5 shows yet another embodiment of the invention.

That is, the configuration of FIG. 5 further enhances some of the configurations described using FIGS. 1 to 4.

In the configurations shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, an unspecified person can enter the room even if he borrows a specified person's card. Therefore, if the card is dropped or stolen, important information may be leaked, which could exacerbate the problem.

Therefore, in the configuration shown in Figure 5, the door cannot be opened unless a person not only inserts the card but also inputs a specific number (M ID number) that is different from the code number recorded in the person's head. It was made so that it could not be done. (A is the numeric keypad used for this purpose, and is operated to input the above-mentioned password.

Therefore, please note under certain circumstances! J +9) memory contents, the code number entered by the card, and the numeric keypad (
Output is 0 unless the three passwords entered in step 4) match.
υ does not occur, so the door does not open, and the voice output indicating Fff entry is not produced, making it impossible to enter the computer room.

In this way, even if someone steals the card (8) and tries to use it, they will not be able to enter the room unless the identified person divulges the password.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Since this invention is configured 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.
