From ancient times, security facilities such as military and aviation facilities, as well as general companies, issue a pass that allows access only to internal employees or visitors whose identity is authenticated for the purpose of preventing accidents such as leakage and theft of technology or information. Management has been carried out.

Therefore, internal staff or visitors who want to enter the controlled place must present the pass to security personnel, and security personnel, etc., had to manually inspect the pass, but manual inspection that takes a long time as technology advances. Instead of the method, the tag method of the pass using short-range wireless communication is widely used.

However, since all of the above methods require the possession of a pass, there is an inconvenience that internal staff or visitors must always carry the pass, and in the case of loss of the pass, the identification process takes a considerable amount of time. There may be a problem in which a setback occurs in the schedule of visits or the like.

In order to solve the above inconvenience and to make passage faster, the number of cases of applying face recognition technology is gradually increasing in recent years. As for the related invention, “School Visitors' Inventions such as a school accessor management method through face recognition” and “a face recognition management system using a portable terminal” of Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1775650 have been proposed and disclosed.

Recognizes and retrieves the previously stored visitor's personal information and visit history. In the case of the initial visit, the visitor's personal information is collected and access approval is requested. In the case of a revisit, the visitor's access approval is immediately requested and approved. An invention has been proposed for a method of printing and providing access permits.

In addition, in the “Face Recognition Management System Using a Portable Terminal” of Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1775650, a face video of the user is recorded in real time through a portable terminal of a user who wants to enter a specific place, and from the recorded face video It is configured to extract and authenticate the user's face data, and at the same time collect location information and time information of the portable terminal, so that not only visitors but also internal employees' access rights, access to security equipment, and time and attendance can be efficiently managed. An invention has been proposed for a system that enables it.

However, the conventional inventions described above are configured to perform the registration procedure for the use of face recognition technology while visiting a place such as a company or school that requires authentication for access, so when a large number of visitors visit at the same time due to group visits, etc. There is a problem in that the registration process, which is carried out by all visitors in sequence, requires a significant amount of time.

In addition, in some of the conventional inventions, the method of using face recognition technology is inconvenient compared to the conventional method of using face recognition technology, such as installing an application on the user's portable terminal and allowing the user to directly shoot his or her face image whenever necessary. There is a problem such as being configured to do so.

Therefore, by supplementing all the problems of the conventional inventions as described above, the registration procedure and usage method for the use of face recognition technology are very simple, and the time is delayed even when a large number of people visit at the same time, such as a group visit. It is a situation in which an invention related to a technology that is configured so as not to cause the problem of is required.

Thereafter, the extraction unit 113 identifies the face of an internal employee from the photo uploaded from the user terminal 200 connected to the registration web page, and extracts one face image, and the registration unit 115 is an extraction unit The face image extracted from (113) is registered to grant regular access rights, and when access rights are granted, a message notifying that registration is completed is displayed on the screen of the user terminal 200 connected to the registration web page. Can be displayed.

At this time, the photo uploaded from the user terminal 200 must be a single photo in which the entire front of the face is clearly displayed by taking a close-up of the internal employee's face, but there may be various problems with the uploaded photo. In the case of face identification, since the extraction of the face image by the extraction unit 113 is impossible, registration cannot be completed.

Accordingly, when an error occurs in identification of the user's face or extraction of one face image by the extraction unit 113, the signal transmission unit 114 transmits a request signal for requesting the user to re-upload the photo to the web server ( By transmitting to 100), a request message for requesting re-uploading of a photo may be displayed on the screen of the user terminal 200 in a state of accessing the registration web page.

In addition, the administrator can enter the phone number of a visitor who needs free access from a building, etc., without a separate identification procedure, and the visitor who has entered the phone number is in the message transmitted to the user terminal 200 in his/her name. Preparations for use of the present invention can be completed by performing a registration procedure for one's face according to the included guide.

In this case, a visitor in the present invention means both a visitor who has directly visited a security facility, a company, a school, etc. to which the present invention is used, and a prospective visitor who has notified the date of visit in advance.

Specifically, the present invention may be configured to store the personal information of the visitor including the phone number in the database 111 for a certain period of time, but automatically delete the personal information of the visitor after a certain period of time, and the registration unit ( 115) registers the face image extracted by the registration procedure by the message transmission unit 112, the extraction unit 113, and the signal transmission unit 114 based on the personal information of the visitor, and sets the date and time. It must be included and may be additionally configured to give temporary access rights that can limit the location.

Visitor personal information entered at this time is information directly provided by each visitor to the manager, or information provided to the manager collectively by the organization to which a number of visitors belong, and it is premised that it is not false. It is not included in the invention.

Therefore, the administrator using the present invention can access and log in to the management web page using the manager terminal 300, and input visitor personal information including a phone number according to the form provided in the management web page. , The entered visitor personal information is stored in the database 111.

Thereafter, the administrator can input a message requesting the execution of the registration procedure to the visitor's user terminal 200 through the function provided in the management web page, and the message is transmitted as soon as an input by the administrator occurs. The unit 112 transmits a message including an address linked to the registration web page to the visitor's user terminal 200 by using the phone number included in the visitor's personal information input into the database 111.

That is, the management web page may provide an administrator with a function of directly selecting any one visitor included in the visitor list or collectively selecting all visitors who are not granted access rights to transmit a message.

Thereafter, the visitor who has received the message transmitted from the message transmission unit 112 in his/her user terminal 200 can access the registration webpage through the address included in the message, as shown in FIGS. 4A to 4E. As described above, you can perform the registration procedure of uploading a picture of your face after authenticating yourself according to the guide.

Thereafter, the extraction unit 113 identifies the visitor's face from the photo uploaded from the user terminal 200 connected to the registration web page and extracts one face image, and the registration unit 115 extracts a single face image. 113) is registered to grant access rights, and when access rights are granted, a message notifying that registration is completed may be displayed on the screen of the user terminal 200 connected to the registration web page. have.

In addition, when an error occurs in identification of the user's face by the extraction unit 113 or extraction of one face image, a procedure such as transmission of a request signal by the signal transmission unit 114 is performed to obtain a face photo of an internal employee. It proceeds in the same way as in the case of registration.

However, while the access rights granted to internal employees by the registration process for internal employees are regular access rights with no restrictions on period and access time, access rights granted to visitors through the registration process for visitors There is a difference in the temporary access authority that can be restricted by including the date and time, and places where access is possible, and such restrictions are caused by input by the administrator.

That is, in the management web page, when the administrator inputs a message requesting the execution of the registration procedure to the visitor's user terminal 200 to be transmitted, the access authority granted to the visitor by inputting restrictions such as date and time together. And the registration unit 115 is based on the personal information of the visitor, and the registration process by the message transmission unit 112, the extraction unit 113, and the signal transmission unit 114 It is characterized in that it is configured to register the extracted face image to necessarily include the date and time, and to give temporary access authority capable of additionally limiting a place.

At this time, the administrator can access the management web page even after the temporary access authority is granted to the visitor, and can arbitrarily change the conditions of the restrictions already imposed, and may lose the temporary access authority, but completely remove all restrictions imposed on the visitor. It is limited so that it cannot be released.

In addition, the management server 110 may transmit a message notifying this fact to the visitor's user terminal 200 when the loss of the temporary access authority granted to the visitor is imminent, and the visitor may Through the link address, you can request an extension of temporary access right to which loss is imminent.

Such a request for extension of temporary access authority is configured to be extended by a specified number of times by a specified time, using 6 p.m., which is widely used as a normal leave time, as a deadline.

As an embodiment of the present invention, a visitor who is imminent to lose temporary access authority set to 4 p.m. is extended by 10 minutes through the link address included in the message notifying the imminent time of the loss of temporary access authority. You can apply up to 3 times.

However, the message sent to the visitor who is about to lose temporary access right set by 6 p.m. is configured not to include the link address requesting the extension of temporary access right, and the above time and number of times can be changed according to circumstances. Because it is a matter, it is not necessarily possible to extend the temporary access right.

In addition, the present invention provides access to other internal employees who have been granted access rights for the purpose of verifying the authenticity of facial photos uploaded by internal employees or verifying the authenticity of facial photos that are the basis of access rights granted to internal employees. It can be configured to request verification of a picture of the face of a specific internal employee and receive a response thereto.

In order to realize such a configuration, the management server 110 transmits a face picture uploaded by an internal employee or a face image extracted from the extraction unit 113 to the web server 100 to confirm a web page for confirmation. To be registered in, and the message transmission unit 112 transmits a message including an address linked to the confirmation web page to a plurality of user terminals 200 using a phone number included in the employee's personal information. Can be configured.

At this time, the registration unit 115 is an internal employee who has been verified only when a confirmation of a face photo or a face image occurs from a user terminal 200 having a certain ratio or higher among the plurality of user terminals 200 accessing the confirmation web page. It can be configured to give access rights to users.

At this time, it is desirable that the majority of internal employees who are asked to check the face photo of a specific internal employee are mostly composed of internal employees who work in the same department as the specific internal employee, but it is difficult to verify by other internal employees. In the case of employees, etc., the above confirmation procedure may be omitted.

With such a configuration, the present invention has the effect of preventing in advance the act of being granted regular access by an internal employee by photographing another person's face, and when a certain time elapses even in the case of a new employee, etc. In this case, verification by other internal staff can be made to ensure that the regular access rights granted are retained or lost.

On the other hand, the camera 120 is a known photographing device that generates image information by photographing a passenger, and is installed so as to photograph a face of the front side of a passenger who approaches the opening and closing device installed for access control.

In addition, the recognition device 130 recognizes the face of a passerby appearing in the image information, compares the recognized face with a face image included in the access authority, and checks the passer's access authority, and determines whether or not the access authority is checked. As an information processing device that determines passage permits accordingly, it has the authority to control the opening and closing device installed to control access.

Therefore, when an internal employee who has been granted regular access rights or a visitor who has been granted temporary access rights through the registration procedure as described above approaches the opening and closing device installed for access control, the camera 120 is photographed and recognized. According to the confirmation by the device 130, the opening and closing device may be automatically opened, and the restriction of a passerby who has not performed the registration procedure may be limited.

In addition, the camera 120 and the recognition device 130 may be installed at the exit of a place where access management is required, and the management server 110 is an internal device generated by the recognition device 130 respectively installed at the entrance and exit. Passage permits for employees can be used for time and attendance management of their internal employees.

In addition, the management server 110 can detect visitors remaining inside the building when temporary access rights are lost, based on the passage permission for the visitor generated by the recognition devices 130 respectively installed at the entrance and exit. If a remaining visitor is found, the user terminal 200 of the visitor may be notified of the loss of temporary access rights and a message prompting him to leave the building may be transmitted. Visitors remaining inside the building can be notified of the discovery.

The embodiments introduced above are provided by way of example in order to sufficiently convey the technical idea of the present invention to those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention pertains, and the present invention is based on the above-described embodiments. It is not limited and may be embodied in other forms.
