To 10).

Hereinafter, the operation of the access control device of the present embodiment will be described.

A. Visitor Information Registration

In order to check the accessor at the doorway 30 to control access, first, the accessor information of the accessor should be stored in a database. When an accessor approaches, for example, an RF-IC card assigned with a unique number to the register 20, the accessor information register 204 of the register 20 reads it and the second control unit 202 reads the read accessor information. It transmits to the server computer 40 via the transceiver unit 203. The server computer 40 stores accessor information in its own memory.

Meanwhile, the accessor information read by the accessor information register 204 may also be transmitted to the reader 10 through the second wireless transceiver 201, which may allow the reader 10 to authenticate the accessor information by itself in the standalone mode. And access information is stored in the memory 103 of the reader 10. In addition, the accessor information read by the accessor information registration unit 204 is stored only in the server computer 40, and according to the instructions of the server computer 40, only the necessary accessor information is transmitted to the reader 10 to the memory 103. You can also save it. This is particularly useful when controlling a plurality of doorways 30, which allows administrators to collectively manage through the server computer 40 who will be allowed access via the reader 10 installed in each doorway 30. There is an advantage.

B. Passenger Information Authentication

Once the accessor information is registered, it is necessary to authenticate the accessor who enters and exits through the doorway 30. In this case, the server computer 40 executes three access control modes such as a single mode, a standard mode, and a security mode. to provide.

First, in the server computer 40, three access control modes can be set. The set access control mode is transmitted to the reader 10 via the register 20, and the reader 10 operates according to the set access control mode. do.

The stand alone mode is a mode in which the reader 10 independently authenticates an accessor without wireless communication with the register 20. Therefore, in the memory 103, accessor information allowed to be accessed in advance must be stored, and the accessor information is registered from the register 20 to the server computer 40 at the time of registering the new accessor in the register 20 as described above. At the same time as transmitting the new person information, the reader 10 may also transmit the person information to the memory 103, and once the person information is stored only in the server computer 40, the server computer 40 is stored alone. When selecting a mode, some or all of the visitor information stored in the server computer 40 may be transmitted to the reader 10 via the register 20.

In any case, in the standalone mode, once a person accesses the reader 10 to the RF-IC card or the like and inputs the person information, the person information recognizing unit 104 reads the person information and the first control unit 102 reads out the person information. In the case where the person information and the person information stored in the memory 103 are compared and matched, the door 30 is opened by operating the closing device 301. If not, the first control unit 102 is not shown. The display device such as a buzzer, an LED, or a display is operated to indicate that entry and exit are impossible.

The standard mode is a mode in which the reader information is authenticated by the server computer 40 without authenticating the visitor information. When the visitor enters the visitor information by accessing the reader 10 with an RF-IC card or the like, the visitor information is used. The recognition unit 104 reads the accessor information, and the first control unit 102 transmits the read accessor information to the register 20 through the first wireless transmission / reception unit 101 and the second control unit of the register 20. 202 transmits to the server computer 40 through the data transmission / reception unit 203, the server computer 40 compares the accessor information stored in its own memory with the read accessor information and registers the accessor information authentication approval data if they match. Transfer to reader 10 via 20. The first control unit 102 of the reader 10 opens the doorway 30 by operating the switch 301 based on the approval data. If the accessor information stored in the server computer 40 and the read accessor information do not match, the server computer 40 transmits the accessor information authentication failure data to the reader 10 via the register 20, and the reader 10. The first control unit 101 of the buzzer, a display or a display device such as an LED to inform that the entry and exit is impossible.

The security mode is a mode in which a double authentication process is performed in which only the person information authenticated by the reader 10 is transmitted to the server computer 40 through the register 20 to authenticate the person information once again by the server computer 40. That is, the accessor information read by the accessor information recognizing means 104 is compared with the accessor information stored in the memory 103 and transmits the read accessor information to the server computer 40 via the register 20 only when it matches. The computer 40 authenticates the accessor information by comparing the read accessor information with the accessor information stored in its own memory. If the authentication is successful, the accessor information authentication failure data is registered if the authentication fails. By transmitting the information to the reader 10 via 20), the accessor information is double authenticated.

The security mode is effective in controlling accessor information that has not been lost in the reader 10 due to a mistake or other situation even though the registration information has already been deleted at the server computer 40. That is, since the server computer 40 can update the accessor information to be stored in the memory 103 of the reader 10 from time to time, the security mode comes from the inconsistency of the accessor information stored in the reader 10 and the server computer 40. It is effective in preventing mistake of authentication of information.
