The pass recognition unit 110 can recognize the pass information inputted from the passenger. For example, the pass recognition means 110 may include an RFID reader that receives frequencies emitted from the RFID tags attached to the pass. On the other hand, the pass recognition unit 110 can be attached to the access means 120 to be described later.

The access means 120 may physically control access to and from the security area of the visitor. For example, the access means 120 may be a gate that controls a visitor. The access means 120 can be opened and allowed to enter and exit the security zone under the control of the control means 190, which will be described later, when the accessing person has an access right to the security zone.

The search completion time detecting means 130 can generate the preceding accessing person information indicating the presence or absence of the preceding accessing person who enters the security area and receives the security search through the accessing means 120 before the accessing person waiting for the current accessing. For example, the search completion time detecting means 130 can detect the presence or absence of a preceding passenger entering and exiting the passenger by using a pressure sensor.

The access control server 140 can centrally manage and control personnel and facility security. Specifically, the access control server 140 receives the access right information corresponding to the access right information received from the access right recognition means 110 under the control of the control means 190, which will be described later, from the access right information database 150, To the control means (190).

The access right information database 150 may store access right information corresponding to the access right information.

The image display means 180 receives the pass information under the control of the control means 190 to be described later and can display the photographed face image at the issuance of the pass of the passerby, It is possible to monitor whether the holder and the person are the same person. Specifically, when the accessing means 120 is opened, the image displaying means 180 can receive and display the pass-through image information corresponding to the pass-through information from the pass-through image displaying server 160. FIG.

The control means 190 controls the pass recognition means 110 based on the preceding passenger information and controls the opening and closing of the entrance means 120 on the basis of the entrance authority information corresponding to the entrance information, The image display means 180 can be controlled to display the passcard image information at the time of opening.

Specifically, the control means 190 may include a control device 191, an access control device 192, and a data control device 193.

The control device 191 can transmit or block the pass information received from the pass recognition means 110 to the data control device 193 to be described later based on the preceding passenger information received from the search completion time detection means 130. [

The controller 191 converts the pass information received from the pass recognition unit 110 into the SF2F system and transmits the information to the access controller 192. The controller 191 controls access control Signal to the input / output means 120.

Specifically, when the control unit 191 receives the leading passenger information indicating that there is no preceding passenger from the search completion time detecting means 130, the control unit 191 transmits the pass information received from the passengers by the pass recognition unit 110 to the data control unit (193).

The access control device 192 can control the entrance and exit of the passengers by controlling the entrance and exit means 120. [ Also, the access control device 192 can control the passengers by interlocking with information such as a card reader, a door, and an alarm so as to control entrance / exit of the passengers.

The data control device 193 transmits the pass information to the access control device 192 and the video display means 180 and controls the access control device 192, the video display means 180, the search completion time detection means 130, The transmission / reception of data between the access means 120 can be controlled.

The detection means 200 can detect whether or not the illegal property to the passenger is possessed. For example, the detection means 200 may be a door type detector installed at an airport or the like.

The search display means 210 may be attached to the access means 120 to indicate the operational status. Specifically, the search display means 210 displays an operation mode of the access means 120, an indication indicating the security zone to the passenger in the direction toward the passer, a permission or denial of access of the passenger based on the access right information corresponding to the pass information And may indicate whether or not access is allowed to the passenger in a direction opposite to the direction toward the passenger so that the security personnel can confirm it. In addition, the search display means 210 can be displayed using an LCD, an LED, a beep sound or the like so that the user and security personnel can recognize it.

The remote control means 220 can remotely control the control means 190 so that the access means 120 can operate in any one of a continuous mode, a sequential mode and a reset mode.

Herein, the continuous mode transmits an associated signal to the access control device 192 immediately upon recognition of the access pass regardless of the operation state of the search, thereby permitting access to the passengers waiting regardless of the completion of the search for the preceding passenger.

Also, the sequential mode ignores the pass information recognized until the search completion signal of the preceding passenger occurs, and does not transmit it. Therefore, the passengers waiting in the presence of the preceding passengers can not pass through the access means 120. [

Also, the reset mode can reset the sequential mode regardless of the search completion signal for the preceding passenger according to the signal of the operator according to the situation of the field when the access means 120 is operated in the sequential mode.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an operation in the case where the automatic access control system according to the embodiment of the present invention does not have a preceding passenger.

2, since the automatic access control system receives the pass information from the passer by the pass recognition unit 110 and the control unit 191 of the control unit is in a state where there is no present passenger at present, (1), the control device 191 transmits the pass information to the data control device 193 of the control means (3).

Next, the data control device 193 transmits the received pass information to the access control server 140 and receives the access right information corresponding to the pass information from the access control server 140 (6).

Next, based on the access right information, the data control device 193 transmits a control signal for opening the accessing means 120 when the accessing person has an access right ([7]).

Next, when the accessing means 120 is opened, the data control device 193 receives a control signal from the accessing means 120 indicating that the accessing means 120 has been opened (⑧), and sends the control signal to the control device 191 The control device 191 transmits a control signal indicating that there is a preceding person (i), and the control device 191 that has received the control signal changes its state in a state in which there is a preceding person without a preceding person.

Next, the search completion time detecting means 130 waits on the search completion time detecting means 130 until the security search by the searcher is completed by the preceding accessing person. When the security search for the preceding accessing person is completed, Since the user is descended from the search completion time detection means 130, the search completion time detection means 130 transmits a search completion signal to the data control device 193 (11).

Next, the data control device 193 transmits the search completion signal received from the search completion time detection means 130 to the control device 191 (step 12), and the control device 191, which has received the search completion signal, The state is changed to a state in which there is no preceding passenger in the state, and the next passenger in the waiting state is allowed to enter and exit.

Referring to FIG. 4, the automatic access control system recognizes an entrance pass, receives pass information, and confirms whether there is a preceding passenger by confirming the preceding passenger information indicating the presence or absence of a preceding passenger (1).

Here, when the preceding passer-by information indicates that there is a preceding passer, ignore the pass information recognized before the search completion signal is received from the search completion time detecting means (2). However, when the leading passenger information indicates that there is a preceding passenger, the access right information corresponding to the pass information of the passenger is checked, and when the passenger has the access right, the state of the control device is changed from the absence of the preceding passenger to the presence of the preceding passenger .

Next, the access means is opened to allow the passenger to enter the security zone (3), and the security search for the passenger is performed (4). Specifically, the preceding passenger waits on the detection completion time detection means in order to inspect the security search by the security personnel, and when the security search is completed, the preceding passenger descends from the search completion time detection means in accordance with the instruction of the security officer ⑤).

Next, when the security search for the preceding passenger is completed and the preceding passenger comes down from the search completion time detection means, it recognizes it as the security search completion time and transmits a search completion signal to the control device (6). Thereafter, the control device which has received the search completion signal changes its state from the presence of the preceding occupant to the absence of the preceding occupant, thereby permitting access to the security area to the waiting occupant.

However, step S100 can be selectively applied according to the operation status of the automatic access control system.

Next, the automatic access control system receives the pass information from the passenger through the pass recognition unit (S110), receives the passer-by information from the search completion time detection unit, and confirms the presence or absence of the preceding passenger (S120).

Next, the automatic access control system can determine whether or not the access right to the security zone of the visitor is allowed based on the access right information corresponding to the access information received from the accessing person (S130).

Next, the automatic access control system can open or close the access means when the accessing person has the access right (S140). In addition, the automatic access control system can display the access image information corresponding to the pass information at the same time of opening the access means through the image display means (S150).

Next, the automatic access control system can search the illegal possession of the passenger entering through the access means, for example, a device such as a door sensor (S160).

Next, when the entrance access control system moves to the search completion time detection means for the security search, the search completion time detection means can detect that the entrance is made (S170).

Next, as described above, since the automatic access control system exposes the pass-through image information corresponding to the pass-through information when the access means is opened through the image expressing means, the search agent displays the face image displayed by the image expressing means, The identity of the passenger is checked by comparing all of the passport images included in the actual face and the pass (S180), and it is determined whether the pass holder and the person to be searched are the same person (S190).

On the other hand, the automatic access control system can store information on illegal access when the accessing person has no access right (S200).

Next, the automatic access control system confirms the identity of the passenger, and if it is the same person, the security officer receives the search for the presence of the illegal object (S210, S220). If there is illegal possession of the goods held by the security personnel, the illegal property is recovered by the security personnel (S230). If there is no illegal property, (S240).
