Description

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

[Prior art]

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, for example, installing a door at the entrance of the computer room that can be opened and closed using an inserted card.

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 M, -M4. There is. 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 near door (3).

and a card reader installed outside the chamber (11).

Note that the control means (5) is functionalized in a part of the computer components, and here, for convenience, it is assumed that it is built into the component M. In such a configuration, a specific person such as a computer operator The code number output from the IC built into the card is registered in advance by inserting the 1G built-in card distributed into the card reader (7) and exchanging signals between the two. 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.

FIG. 2 shows a door opening/closing control means (5) which is a feature of this invention.
) is mainly shown +41. (5), (6),
(7) is the same as shown in FIG. (8) is a card that is a feature of the present invention, and has an IC chip S built into a plastic plate, and has predetermined information (code number) recorded on the chip, and receives a predetermined signal from the outside. Outputs the information recorded by giving This card is distributed only to those authorized to enter the computer room (11). (9) is the code number of the person authorized to enter the computer room (for example, 0, which can be an employee number).
) is recorded in the memory, Ql is the card (8)
This is a matching circuit that checks whether the code number read from the memo IJ-(91) matches the code number recorded in the memo IJ-(91).1 If both match, it outputs (lυ) and sends it to the amplifier ( It is applied to the locking mechanism (4) via Iz. (21) is a voice synthesis output device, and the output α
When υ occurs, it outputs "Douzoohairikudasai." and converts it into audio through the speaker (2) to notify the person attempting to enter the room. In addition, the above-mentioned speech synthesis output device (211 is used when the output I is not generated due to automatic mode switching).

In other words, if the card (8) is defective and does not match the contents of the memo (January 9), it may say, ``Nyuushitsute kimasen.''

" is output.

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 a2 to unlock the door.

Therefore, the spring action causes the pin to function to lock the door when the solenoid is not energized.・13 is a gate, and the output 4 of the -number circuit a@ is set as an open condition.

Pass the code number read by the reader (7).

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. tJ4 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 results together with the code number via the recording control circuit d', inside the computer or in a memo IJ (LE9) connected externally. The code number and the number of times the user entered the room are recorded in the memo IJO, [9 in the recording format shown in FIG.

Figure 3 shows that the person assigned the code number "83025 J" has entered the room seven times, and if he enters the room again next time, the number of times he has entered the room will be updated to "8", and so on! It will be updated as usual.

Therefore, by looking at the contents of Memo January t5, you can easily know which code number the person entered the room and how many times, and if troubles related to the computer (such as falsification of data or information) occur, By the way, the above-mentioned embodiment is a basic one, and there are various changes, which will be further explained below.If you want to check the contents recorded in the memory αe, If there is an attached output means (ID (CRT display or printer)), the contents can be read out and displayed or printed. (19 is a clock that can output the clock signal α9, and the recording control circuit By applying the above signal (19) to 09, for example, the number of entrants and the time of entry from the start time to the end time are recorded in memory 4 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 entry time recorded in this manner are printed by a journal printer using the output means aη, and the code number [83
Person 025J first entered the room at 8:15 a.m., went in and out several times after that, and last entered at 4 p.m.
It shows that it was 20 minutes past the hour. On the other hand, the person with the code number ``83026J'' entered the room at 9:40 a.m., and last entered the room at 4:00 p.m.

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 the card of a specified person. Therefore, if the card is dropped or stolen, important information may be leaked, which may exacerbate the problem.

Therefore, in the configuration shown in Figure 5, the door cannot be opened unless the card is inserted and also a specific number (PIN number) different from the code number stored in the human mind. This is how it was done. (To) is a numeric keypad used for this purpose, which is operated to input the above-mentioned password.

Therefore, under certain conditions, the memory contents of the memo (January 9), the code number entered by the card, and the numeric keypad (
Output α unless the three PIN numbers entered in ) match
υ will never occur, so the door will not open, and the computer room will not be able to enter the computer room because no audio output will be generated to allow entry.

〔Effect of the invention〕

In this way, even if someone steals the card +81 and tries to misuse it, they will not be able to enter the room unless the identified person divulges the password.

This invention, as described above, is extremely effective in preventing entry into computer rooms.

In addition, in the embodiment, a control means (
5) was shown in the program, but it goes without saying that this can be made to work by the hardware of the computer itself.
