Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 is a diagram showing a gate open control and access list recording system using a phone number according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically showing the system of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a call from a customer in an unmanned timebook shop A view showing the process of entering and exiting through the , and FIG. 4 is a view showing the access list recorded in the DB of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1 , a system (hereinafter referred to as a system) 90 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a user terminal device 100 , a door lock 110 , an access control device 115 , a communication network 120 , and access Includes some or all of the management service device (130).

Here, "including some or all" means that some components such as the access control service device 130 are omitted so that the system 90 is configured, or some components such as the access control device 115 are included in the door lock 110 ), which means that it can be configured by being integrated with other components, such as, and will be described as including all in order to help a sufficient understanding of the invention.

The user terminal device 100 includes a smart phone possessed by a user visiting the unmanned store 97 or the like, or a wearable device such as a Galaxy Gear Gear of domestic S company worn on the user's wrist. Of course, as in the embodiment of the present invention, any device may be used as long as a phone call is possible for a phone call. For example, when the user terminal device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention makes a phone call (or generates a call call) to a phone number that is open to the door of the unmanned store 97, etc., at this time, the user terminal device ( 100), a device ID or a phone number may be provided as identification information. Accordingly, the manager can know which customer entered the unmanned store 97 .

For example, assuming that the phone number of the user terminal device 100 used by the customer is 010-9876-4321, the customer calls 070-1234-5678, and at this time, the customer's 010-9876-4321 's phone number may be recorded. Of course, as can be seen in FIG. 2 , when the user terminal device 100 attempts to make a phone call to the above 070 phone number, it may be connected to the access control service device 130 through the communication network 120 of the communication company. In other words, the destination of 070 above is the access management service device 130 . Of course, here, the access control service device 130 may be a computer operated by the unmanned store 97 , but may include a management server for integrated management of the plurality of unmanned stores 97 .

Above all, when the unmanned store 97 is an office, for example, when a customer visits the office, the user of the user terminal device 100 can easily open the door by calling the office when opening the door of the office from a distance. It is also possible to open it. Of course, when making a call through an application (hereinafter, an app) of the user terminal device 100 rather than making a call to the office as in a normal phone call, the service according to the embodiment of the present invention can be performed. In other words, when making a call to the office using a regular phone without running the app, and when making a call to the office through it after running the app, the same phone number can be handled differently.

In this way, when the user terminal device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention makes a call to a phone number that is open to the doorway of the unmanned store 97 or the like in normal times, the receiving terminal, that is, the computer, or the access management of FIG. 1 . The service device 130 will leave his or her phone number as a record. Of course, it can be seen that this is not much different from the fact that the caller's phone number is left on the receiver's phone in a normal phone call. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, such data is collected to form big data, and big data is analyzed through deep learning of artificial intelligence (AI), etc. to analyze the tendency of customers who visited the unmanned store 97, etc. It can also be used as a marketing material, so the difference is very big in this respect.

The door lock 110 opens the door of the unmanned store 97 according to the control command of the access control device 115 . The door lock 110 operates as a device for locking and opening the door of the entrance. 2 shows a state in which the door lock 105 is installed on the upper side of the entrance door. In other words, when the lock of the door lock 105 is released according to the request of the access control device 115, the door is opened, and when the lock of the door lock 105 is set according to the request of the access control device 115, the door is the floor It is fixed to the side or upper side and the door is locked. Since various types of devices may be used for the door lock 110 , it will not be particularly limited to any one type.

Above all, cameras for monitoring the situation in the unmanned store 97 may be installed in the unmanned store 97 . Alternatively, various types of payment devices for unattended payment may be provided. However, since the operation of these devices is not significantly different from the existing ones, a further description will be omitted.

The access control device 115 is installed around the door or door lock 110 . As seen in FIG. 3 , in the case of the time book unmanned shop, a door lock is installed on the upper side of the door, and the access control device 115 is provided below the sign guiding the phone number. In general, in order to control access such as fingerprint recognition in the prior art, it is not suitable for the unmanned store 97 by allowing access only to specific people who have previously registered fingerprint recognition. Accordingly, the door lock 110 is controlled in order to leave only a record of the user's user terminal device 100 through a phone call and to allow access. Of course, the access control device 115 may receive a notification for unlocking the door lock 110 from the access management service device 130 of FIG.

The communication network 120 includes both wired and wireless communication networks. For example, a wired/wireless Internet network may be used or interlocked as the communication network 120 . Here, the wired network includes an Internet network such as a cable network or a public telephone network (PSTN), and the wireless communication network includes CDMA, WCDMA, GSM, Evolved Packet Core (EPC), Long Term Evolution (LTE), Wibro network, etc. is meant to include Of course, the communication network 120 according to the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be used, for example, in a cloud computing network under a cloud computing environment, a 5G network, and the like. For example, when the communication network 120 is a wired communication network, the access point in the communication network 120 can connect to a switching center of a telephone company, etc., but in the case of a wireless communication network, it accesses the SGSN or GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node) operated by the communication company to transmit data. Data can be processed by accessing various repeaters such as a BTS (Base Transsive Station), NodeB, and e-NodeB.

The communication network 120 may include an access point. Here, the access point includes a small base station, such as a femto or pico base station, which is often installed in a building. Femto or pico base stations are classified according to the maximum number of access control devices, such as the user terminal device 100, the access control device 115, etc. can be connected to the classification of a small base station. Of course, the access point may include a short-distance communication module for performing short-distance communication such as Zigbee and Wi-Fi with the user terminal device 100 or the access control device 115 . The access point may use TCP/IP or Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) for wireless communication. Here, short-distance communication may be performed in various standards such as Bluetooth, Zigbee, infrared, radio frequency (RF) such as ultra high frequency (UHF) and very high frequency (VHF), and ultra-wideband communication (UWB) in addition to Wi-Fi. Accordingly, the access point extracts the location of the data packet, designates the best communication path for the extracted location, and transmits the data packet to the next device, such as the access control service device 130 , along the designated communication path. The access point may share several lines in a general network environment, and includes, for example, a router, a repeater, and a repeater.

The access control service device 130 can be considered to perform the same operation as the receiving phone, considering the conventional case. However, the access control service device 130 according to the embodiment of the present invention is not a phone, but a computer or a server is preferable. For example, when a user arrives at an unmanned store 97 and wants to enter the unmanned store 97, a phone call is made to a phone number that is open to the outside, and in this case, the customer's user terminal device ( 100) is recorded in the DB 130a of the access control service device 130 . Of course, when recording, time information at the time of sending or receiving is matched, and stored and managed.

In addition, the access control service device 130 may perform a kind of remote control operation in order to enter and exit the unmanned store 97 as well as the general office when the user is in a remote location outside the office. In the above case, if the phone number is dialed through the user terminal device 100, in the case of a remote location, the phone number of the general phone is used by configuring the phone number to make a call through the app of the user terminal device 100. It is also possible to process the action separately from it. For example, the access control service device 130 may transmit a control signal to the access control device 115 to allow access to the office only when the app is executed on the user terminal device 100 .

Of course, the access management service device 130 according to the embodiment of the present invention can operate the entry and exit of the office differently from the general phone by using a different phone number. Of course, in the case of the office, when the phone number is disclosed to the outside as in the latter case, the customer who visits the office can enter by calling, so it is not much different from the above. However, if it is not the case above, the phone number is kept private outside the office, and when a customer visits the office, the person in charge of the office calls the undisclosed phone number to unlock the door of the office. Of course, such a private phone number can be operated by notifying the customer visiting the office, but since it is cumbersome, the person in charge of the office directly calls the private phone number to open the door.

As such, in the access control service device 130 according to an embodiment of the present invention, various systems can be set according to how the person in charge of the unmanned store 97 or the office operates the door lock. Since such a method has been sufficiently described above, the detailed information will be replaced with the contents. 4 shows, for example, phone numbers recorded in the DB 130 by visiting the unmanned store 97 of FIG. 1 that can be viewed from a manager device such as a computer accessing the access control service device 130 . The service app according to an embodiment of the present invention may be referred to as a 'smart call', and when a corresponding part is clicked, a phone number for the user terminal device 100 of the visitor may be confirmed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2 , the access control service device 130 is capable of listening after connection to a communication company's server, and performs communication through an OPEN API (Application Programming Interface) (refer to (1)).

In summary, when a call is made using a phone to a phone number registered in the access control service device 130 such as a server computer (see (2) of FIG. 2 (3)), the server computer receives this and stores the caller's phone number and time in the DB 130a (refer to (5) of FIG. 2), and the lock controller registered in the server computer, that is, the access in FIG. A signal to open the door to the control device 115 may be transmitted using an API (refer to (6) of FIG. 2 ). When a customer (eg a visitor) calls the phone number of the guide, the door is opened. In addition, the access control service device 130 stores the customer's phone number in the management DB 130a, and operates so that access details can be viewed and downloaded in Excel.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating a detailed structure of the access management service apparatus of FIG. 1 .

As shown in FIG. 5 , the access control service device 130 of FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a communication interface unit 500 , a control unit 510 , an access control unit 520 , and a storage unit 530 . includes some or all.

Here, "including some or all" means that some components such as the storage unit 530 are omitted to configure the access management service device 130, or some components such as the access control unit 520 are included in the control unit 510 ), which means that it can be configured by being integrated with other components, such as, and will be described as including all in order to help a sufficient understanding of the invention.

The communication interface unit 500 communicates with the user terminal device 100 and the access control device 115 via the communication network 120 of FIG. 1 , respectively. In the process of performing communication, the communication interface unit 500 may perform various operations, and may perform operations such as modulation/demodulation, muxing/demuxing, encoding/decoding, and the like. Since this is obvious to those skilled in the art, further description will be omitted.

The communication interface unit 500 receives the corresponding phone call (or the generated call) when there is a phone call from the user terminal device 100 to a phone number open to the outside for entry and exit of the unmanned store 97 . can do. Of course, such a connection is a connection from a wireless switching device or a wired switching device constituting the communication network 120 , and as for the switching device, it is already known that the calling number of the user terminal device 100 is the access control service device 130 . Since it is preset, the access control service device 130 is connected based on this, and the communication interface unit 500 connects a call with the access control service device 130 accordingly.

In addition, the communication interface unit 500 performs an operation for opening the door of the unmanned store 97 based on the call connection under the control of the control unit 510 . In other words, under the control of the control unit 510 , the communication interface unit 500 transmits a control command to the access control device 115 to open the door of the unmanned store 97 .

The control unit 510 is in charge of overall control operations of the communication interface unit 500 , the access control unit 520 , and the storage unit 530 constituting the access control service device 130 of FIG. 5 . For example, when there is a call (or a call) for a phone call to the phone number assigned to the unmanned store 97 for system construction, the control unit 510 controls the access control service device 130 based on the phone number. A setting operation for connection may be performed. To this end, the phone number assigned to the unmanned store 97 and the identification information of the access control service device 130 may be matched and stored in the DB 130a.

In addition, the control unit 510 controls access to recognize that when a call is made through a phone number assigned to an arbitrary unmanned store 97 , the corresponding telephone number is for automatically opening the door of a specific unmanned store 97 . The identification information of the device 115 may also be matched and stored in the DB 130a. Accordingly, when a call is made based on an arbitrary phone number through the communication interface unit 500 , the control unit 510 provides it to the access control service device 130 , and the access control service device 130 sets the phone number to the access control service device 130 . It is determined that it is related to the unmanned store 97 and requests to unlock the door lock 110 to open the door of the unmanned store 97 with the access control device 115 according to the determination result. In order to perform this operation, the control unit 510 operates in conjunction with the access management unit 520 .

The access management unit 520 automatically authenticates the self-authentication of an unspecified visitor, such as the unmanned store 97, using a phone number, and performs an operation for opening the door. In addition, even when the door of the office needs to be opened from a distance, the access control unit 520 may operate to conveniently open the door by calling the office.

The access management unit 520 may perform a system construction operation for the above operation, and performs an operation according to an embodiment of the present invention according to the established system, that is, a process. For example, if there is a request for a phone call to the phone number of the unmanned store 97 to which the phone number is assigned, the access control unit 520 may set the unattended store ( 97) transmits a control command to the access control device 115. Of course, the control command here is used so that the access control device 115 automatically unlocks the door lock 110 under its jurisdiction.

In addition, the access management unit 520 may operate to automatically unlock the door of the office, as well as the unmanned store 97 as mentioned above. Of course, the access control unit 520 sets the door lock 110 with a phone number different from the phone number for the phone in the office, so that it can make a remote call to unlock the door of the office, but if the same phone number is used, An operation for releasing the door lock 110 may be performed by classifying it according to whether the connection is made through the execution of the app. Of course, in both cases, it is possible to perform an operation through an app according to an embodiment of the present invention called 'smart call', so it will not be particularly limited to any one form.

The storage unit 530 may store and output various types of data processed under the control of the control unit 510 . For example, when there is a phone call from a plurality of unmanned stores 97 , call signals may be sequentially stored in the storage unit 530 and then sequentially retrieved to be provided to the access management unit 520 . Here, the call signal may include a phone number of the user terminal device 100 as seen in FIG. 1 . The call signal means that an outgoing signal, that is, a call tone is generated to determine whether a call is possible, but the content thereof will not be particularly limited.

In addition to the above, the communication interface unit 500, the control unit 510, the access control unit 520, and the storage unit 530 of FIG. 5 can perform various operations, and other details have been sufficiently described above, so the contents would like to replace it with
