Description

A membership management system based on a digital door lock that controls access according to service access authority { A membership management system using the digital door lock for controlling access according to service access authority }

The present invention systematically sets a membership policy in each fitness center, and when a member registers for a specific membership, the member's access right to the service provided by the fitness center is authenticated in real time according to the membership policy of the member's membership and access It relates to a digital door lock-based membership management system that controls

In particular, the present invention installs a membership app on a member's smart terminal, a digital door lock is installed at the entrance of each fitness center, recognizes the member's membership from the membership app in real time to authenticate the access right, and according to the result, Bluetooth It relates to a digital door lock-based membership management system that controls the opening or blocking of a digital door lock using a short-range wireless communication network such as NFC or a public Internet network.

In general, access control to offline facilities such as academies, fitness centers, libraries, subways, movie theaters, hotels, amusement parks, and night clubs was performed by tickets and turngates. In other words, if the customer pays a predetermined fee at the box office and first purchases a ticket, then shows it directly to the ticket inspector at the entrance or reads the information printed on the ticket with a magnetic card reader, the blocked turngate rotates and the customer Go through the entrance to the facility.

However, as access control has recently been automated, the gateman manually checks the customer's ticket and selectively allows access, instead of using short-distance wireless communication technologies such as barcode, NFC, and Bluetooth and mobile apps to access offline business sites. A door lock technology for automatically controlling entry and exit to a door is proposed [Patent Documents 1 and 2].

On the other hand, fitness centers and private academies are also applying various fee policies to membership based on various criteria, such as membership that is limited based on the period or number of times, or prepayment vouchers based on the amount. In particular, the conventional member management system provides such various membership registration services online, such as web or mobile, and when members registered online access or use offline facilities, the members' access is controlled according to the registered membership.

However, in the existing member management system, only the presence or absence of service access right for each customer is systematically judged by the gateman at the entrance, and access is permitted or prohibited. That is, the existing system supports only semi-passive simple access control functions.

Hereinafter, the case of the fitness center will be described in more detail.

Each fitness center establishes a marketing policy suitable for customer needs in each market and provides services such as fitness-related exercise facilities, spaces, and group courses in various ways, and in return applies a differentiated billing system to charge members. . In particular, various memberships are issued, and these differentiated services and charges are applied according to membership.

In the conventional fitness center, there are three types of typical memberships, such as a fixed term system, a frequency system, and a prepaid system. The right to use various services is differentiated according to the period or number of billing standards for each membership, or the size of the prepaid fee.

First, the fixed-term membership depends on the period, group lectures by sport, lockers, membership transfer, number of visits, and number of classes. Fees are charged by differentiating the use rights for each service that members can access, such as access time. For example, in the case of a basic one-month membership, the fee is 50,000 won, and the registered member does not have the right to take any courses held at the fitness center, and can only enter once a day and do self-training alone. In the case of a six-month membership, a member can acquire it by adding 200,000 won to the one-month membership fee, and can select and take only one of the open courses such as Pilates, Yoga, Spinning, and CrossFit per day. In addition, in the case of a 12-month membership, the fee is 300,000 won, and a registered member can take all the opened courses as many times as they want in one day. In addition, in addition, the access time for each membership may be limited to a time zone with the least number of visitors (for example, from 11 am to 1 pm), and a discounted rate may be provided instead.

Next, for the number of times membership, fees are charged by differentiating the service based on the number of times one person takes personal training (PT) or small group PT. For example, in the case of a membership that can take 10 personal training sessions, access to the fitness center may be controlled so that the registered member cannot access the fitness center except on the day on which the PT is reserved. In the case of PT 20 membership, members are guaranteed unlimited access to the fitness center, so they can freely access the fitness center and exercise on their own, even on days without PT reservations. In addition, in the case of membership for 30 sessions, members can receive unlimited access to all group classes such as CrossFit, Spinning, and Pilates in addition to PT and unlimited access rights.

Lastly, a prepaid membership with a fixed amount is purchased as a lump sum and then managed in such a way that each time you attend a fitness center or apply for a specific course, the set fee is deducted. Prepaid membership can also be defined by differentiating various options such as the number of times of access, number of courses, lockers, and transfer rights according to a set fee such as 500,000 won or 1 million won.

As such, no matter what type of membership is set in the fitness center, by grade (or level), the number of daily access, group lectures, daily attendance, access time, locker availability, membership transferability, number of holdings, and free PT are provided. Various options can be additionally set.

On the other hand, the most important thing in membership management as described above is to control access to services according to the subscribed membership. That is, access to selectively provided services such as access control of fitness center according to each membership and the right to take group or individual courses should be appropriately controlled.

Conventionally, various member management solutions have been provided and used in many fitness centers, but it is not possible to precisely control each member member so that various membership policies as described above can be accurately applied. In other words, when various membership policies are applied in practice, it is difficult for administrators or managers to understand all of these membership policies, and it is difficult to control access to the center or take courses by members without authority.

Specifically, the existing fitness center operation and management solution has typically used a touch screen method to manage members' access to the fitness center, but various options such as the number of daily entry and exit details set for each membership, the right to take each course, the number of courses, and the access time was difficult to grasp and control in the field.

In addition, in the existing solution, when a member visits the fitness center and enters a mobile phone number on the touch screen installed at the entrance, the server authenticates whether the member is a valid member and gives feedback on whether access is possible. However, the existing solution only checks the validity of membership, but does not check in detail the right to take group classes, reserved private lessons, and the number of times per class can be accessed. Therefore, even if a member who signed up for a one-month membership set to allow access only once a day has already visited the fitness center in the morning, if he enters his cell phone number on the touch screen again in the evening, he can be authenticated as a normal valid member and attend. In other words, they have no control over it unless the staff at the fitness center remembers that the member has already been in and out in the morning and blocks access.

Therefore, the manager of the fitness center simply defines only the fee according to the period and the number of times in the existing fitness center operation management system and checks only whether the member is a valid member. And the manager had no choice but to establish a document policy on the number of daily access to the fitness center, the right to take group classes and the number of classes, the access time, and the right to use lockers or sportswear, and to make the members familiar with these rules.

Therefore, as membership options become more diversified, a member management system that can more precisely control access to facilities offline is needed by reflecting this.

Hereinafter, specific contents for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In addition, in demonstrating this invention, the same part is attached|subjected by the same code|symbol, and the repetition description is abbreviate|omitted.

First, the configuration of the entire system for implementing the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 .

As shown in Figure 1, the entire system for implementing the present invention is installed in the smart terminal 10 owned by the member, the manager terminal 50 used by the manager, and the smart terminal 10 of the member to provide the member's membership service It is composed of a service app 20 that provides a service, a membership management server 30 that provides a member's membership management service, and an access control device 60 installed at the entrance of the fitness center. The service app 20 , and the membership management server 30 are connected through a network 80 such as the Internet to perform data communication. In addition, it may be configured to include a database 40 for storing related data such as center information, access control device information, member information, and the like.

First, the member's smart terminal 10 is a mobile terminal used by the member, and is a smart terminal equipped with a normal computing function, such as a smartphone, a phablet, and a tablet PC. In particular, the smart terminal 10 is a terminal in which applications or mobile applications (or apps, applications), etc. are installed and executed.

In addition, the smart terminal 10 includes a communication device capable of communicating with a mobile communication network, a short-range wireless communication device capable of performing short-range wireless communication such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, and the like. Through this, the smart terminal 10 performs communication with the membership management server 30 through a mobile communication network or Wi-Fi, or performs data communication with the access control device 60 using short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth or NFC. can In particular, the smart terminal 10 may perform a computing function while connected to the Internet or the like.

Next, the service app 20 is a mobile application (or app, application) that is installed and executed on the smart terminal 10, and is a program system that provides a membership service of the training center in conjunction with the membership management server 30. .

Specifically, the service app 20 stores member information and membership information registered by the member. Preferably, the service app 20 receives and stores member and membership information from the membership management server 30 . In particular, when the service app 20 receives user authentication by a member, it accesses the membership server 30 to receive and store the corresponding information. On the other hand, at this time, the service app 20 may also receive and store information about the fitness center to which he has joined.

In particular, the service app 20, as member information, retains age, gender, medical history information, and the like, and may determine whether or not the subject is prohibited from taking the course service when registering the course service.

Alternatively, the service app 20 may perform a member registration or member registration operation according to a user's input. That is, the necessary information for membership is input, and the corresponding subscription information is transmitted to the membership management server 30 to register the member. In addition, the registered member information may be received and stored.

In addition, the service app 20 downloads the course schedule (or course timetable) of the course service to which the member has the right to attend according to the membership registered by the member, and displays a list of course services that can be taken on the screen of the smart terminal 10 . According to the member's selection (or input), the course service to be taken is registered and reserved.

In addition, the service app 20 receives and stores information (or access control device information) about the access control device 60 of the fitness center to which the member has joined. That is, the service app 20 receives the access control device information after receiving user authentication by the member.

On the other hand, when the service app 20 transmits a door opening command through short-range wireless communication with the access control device 60 (hereinafter, the first embodiment), the access control device information including identification information is received and stored. That is, the access control device information includes identification information (or identification number) that can systematically and uniquely find the access control device 60 in the membership management server 30 and a product number issued by the manufacturer.

The service app 20 may perform data communication with the access control device 60 installed in the fitness center through a short-range wireless communication network such as Bluetooth. That is, the service app 20 may establish a Bluetooth connection with the access control device 60 and request the digital door lock to open and close the door.

At this time, as one embodiment (Example 1-1), the service app 20 determines whether the member can enter or not according to the selection input of the "Open door" menu, and when access is possible, access control Send an open command to device 60 . At this time, the service app 20 first determines whether a member can enter or not when accessing the door opening menu, and then controls access such as identification information included in the Bluetooth signal continuously emitted by the access control device 60 through Bluetooth scanning. After recognizing the device information and receiving user authentication when accessing the service app (20), it is received from the membership management server (30) and compared with the access control device information already stored in the smart terminal (10), only when the two match the Bluetooth Establish a connection and transmit a door lock open command.

In addition, depending on the membership the member has signed up for, access is not possible at the time requested or access control device information including identification information emitted by the access control device 60 and access already stored after user authentication in the service app 20 When the identification information of the control device 60 does not match, a guide message indicating that access is not allowed is output. Through this, even if it is the same type of door lock product, members are controlled so that they cannot pass through the door other than the registered fitness center. In particular, when the former is in a state in which access is not allowed, the access control device 60 does not start scanning the Bluetooth signal emitted by itself - or does not establish a Bluetooth connection - and immediately outputs a message indicating that access is not allowed.

As another embodiment (Example 1-2), the service app 20 establishes a Bluetooth connection with the access control device 60 and opens the door lock when the access control device information including the identification information matches in the state in which the access is possible. Instead of directly transmitting the command, the door may be requested to be opened while limitedly transmitting only the member and the member's membership information to the access control device 60 . At this time, the access control device 60 transmits the member and the member's membership information to the membership management server 30, and requests authentication for the service access right and a door opening command according to the result. Then, the membership management server 30 returns the blocking or opening command to the access control device 6 after authenticating the member's service access right in real time according to the member and the member's membership information. The access control device 60 releases or controls the locking device according to the command returned from the membership management server 30 .

In addition, the service app 20 does not transmit the door opening command through short-range wireless communication with the access control device 60, but can transmit the opening/closing command to the access control device 60 in a detour through the membership management server 30. Yes (hereinafter second embodiment). In the service app (2), when the course to attend is input by the member and the door open menu is executed, first, it is determined whether the member can enter or not at the time of the request according to the member's membership policy. When it is determined that the member is in an accessible state, the service app 20 detects a Bluetooth signal emitted from the access control device 60 and receives from the membership management server 30 during user authentication, including identification information stored in the user terminal. Compare it with the access control device information. If the two access control device information matches, the service app 20 as a next step bypasses the membership management server 30 by calling the door opening command provided to control the access control device from the membership management server 30. Request to open the door lock. As a final step, the membership management server 30 that has received the door opening command from the service app 20 transmits an opening/closing command to the access control device 60 connected to the Internet through a third communication gateway. In this case, short-distance wireless communication between the access control device 60 and the service app 60, such as Bluetooth or nfc, is not for directly transmitting a door open command, but can be used limitedly for the purpose of authenticating that the member is present at the entrance. have. If the second embodiment does not communicate with the access control device 60 and short-range wireless communication, the service app 20 anytime, anywhere - for example, in the subway late at night when the fitness center is closed - door open command It is possible to open the door lock installed at the entrance of the fitness center through the membership management server 30 by calling , in which case there is a risk of serious security breach. That is, sensing the Bluetooth (BLE) signal continuously emitted by the access control device 60 in the service app 20 or tapping the nfc is necessary to systematically guarantee that the member actually arrives at the entrance to the fitness center.

On the other hand, the door opening command called by the service app 20 is a kind of API (Application Protocol Interface) provided by the membership management server 30 to control the access control device. Technically, it can be defined in various ways such as http or socket communication. have. More specifically, if the door opening command or the authentication key for opening the door is installed at the entrance of the fitness center and the access control device information including the identification information is registered as a profile of the fitness center in the membership management server, It can be created systematically according to a set protocol. That is, a unique door opening command for each individual access control device is generated in the form of an API provided by the membership management server 40 . When accessing the door opening menu after user authentication including membership information, the service app 20 only needs to first determine whether the member can enter or not, and only calls the already created door opening command. The door opening command called by the service app 20 is transmitted to the membership management server 30, and again the membership management server 30 transmits a door opening request to the access control device 60 directly connected through the Internet. . When the access control device is registered in the membership management server 30, the door opening command, which is automatically and uniquely systemically generated, may be hacked if leaked to the outside, so it is preferable if it is encoded in a way that can be recognized only by the service app.

Next, the manager terminal 50 is a terminal used by the manager, and is a terminal equipped with a normal computing function, such as a PC, a notebook computer, a smart phone, and a tablet PC. In addition, the manager terminal 50 may be built as a server in the fitness center.

The manager terminal 50 may access the membership management server 30 through the web or the like to perform management tasks, or install a manager-only client installed in the manager terminal 50, and perform management tasks through the manager-only client. have.

First, the manager terminal 50 registers the fitness center managed by the manager. That is, the manager of the fitness center accesses through the manager terminal 50 and registers the fitness center with the membership management server 30 . At this time, information related to the fitness center and card payment information are input and registered. Also, upon registration, a center account of the fitness center may be issued.

In addition, the manager terminal 50 registers the access control device 60 to the membership management server 30 . That is, the manager of the fitness center installs the access control device 60 at the entrance of the fitness center, the entrance (entry door) of the place where the lecture is executed, such as the GX room or PT room, and uses the installed access control device 60 as the membership management server Register at (30).

At this time, the manager terminal 50 registers identification information (identification number, etc.) capable of identifying the access control device 60 . At this time, the identification information of the access control device is set as a unique number or unique information (hereinafter, Bluetooth unique information) by the Bluetooth signal of the access control device 60 . The Bluetooth-specific information is set by detecting a Bluetooth signal of the access control device 60, and includes a proximity UUID (Proximity UUID), a Major Value, and a Minor Value.

On the other hand, the access control device 60 is connected to a network such as the Internet through a communication gateway device such as Wi-Fi, and communicates directly with the membership management server 30 . That is, there is no direct connection between the service app 20 and the access control device 60 through short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth or NFC. Instead, the membership management server 30 receives a door open request from the service app 20 according to a predetermined protocol, and directly communicates with the access control device 60 through a network such as the Internet to directly request a door open command.

In addition, the manager terminal 50 may register a member. You can register as a registered member by inputting the member's registration information, etc. As an example, for a customer who has visited the fitness center, by inputting the customer's subscription information, the customer may be registered as a subscription member.

In addition, the manager terminal 50 accesses the membership management server 30 to generate membership such as a term system, a number of times system, and a prepaid ticket. In particular, the manager terminal 50 sets the type of membership and the grade in the corresponding type, sets the service (or service type) according to each type and grade, and the service use range, and defines each membership.

In addition, the manager terminal 50 registers individual training or group lecture services (or course services) such as CrossFit, yoga, Pilates, spinning, and personal training operated by the fitness center as independent objects. At this time, for the course service, attributes such as event, class method, difficulty level, limit of number of people, class time per session, subject to be prohibited, number of deductions per session, instructor, and the like are defined.

In addition, the manager terminal 50 creates a timetable for taking the course service. There can be two methods of creating a course schedule: a group course repeated at a set time for a certain period of time, and individual training that members reserve at a time available. In the former case, the manager unilaterally inputs and sets it, and in the latter case, each trainer inputs it according to the request of each member and the reservation is determined at a specific time.

Next, the access control device 60 is installed on the door of the fitness center, is a device for controlling the opening or blocking of the door. The access control device 60 may be installed on the entrance door for entering and exiting a space in which a lecture is conducted in the fitness center, in addition to the entrance door of the fitness center.

In the case of the 1-1 embodiment, the access control device 60 opens the corresponding door when receiving an open command through short-range wireless communication from the smart terminal 10 or the service app 20 installed in the smart terminal 10 . .

Meanwhile, the access control device 60 may be connected to a network such as the Internet through Wi-Fi or a third communication gateway to communicate with the membership management server 30 . That is, the access control device 60 has a communication function for communication with the membership management server 30 .

At this time, in the case of the 1-2 embodiment, the access control device 60 receives membership information from the smart terminal 10 or the service app 20, and transmits the received membership information to the membership management server 30, Receives a door open command or a blocking command from the membership management server 30 . Then, the door is opened or blocked according to the received command.

In addition, in the case of the second embodiment, an open command from the smart terminal 10 or the service app 20 is transmitted to the membership management server 30 , and the access control device 60 again receives the door from the membership management server 30 . Directly receive an open command or a block command. And the access control device 60 opens or blocks the door according to the received command.

Next, the membership management server 30 is a normal server and provides a service for managing membership.

Specifically, the membership management server 30 registers a fitness center and issues a center account. At this time, the account of the fitness center will be referred to as a center account or an administrator account. In addition, the membership management server 30 receives and stores payment information such as credit card and profile information of the fitness center such as a fitness center name, event, and address when registering.

In addition, the membership management server 30 receives the registration of the access control device (60). That is, the center manager installs the access control device 60 at the entrance of the fitness center or the classroom door, and registers the access control device 60 in the membership management server 30 . At this time, the identification information (identifier) of the access control device is registered together.

The identification information of the access control device is a UUID (Proximity UUID), Major Value, Minor Value that is continuously emitted according to the BLE communication standard when the access control device 60 uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). ), etc., which can uniquely identify access control devices, are stored and managed as profile information of the fitness center.

In addition, the membership management server 30 receives personal information (or subscription information) of an individual and registers it as a subscription member. In particular, an interworking interface or module for member registration is provided.

In addition, the membership management server 30 provides to install the service app 20 on the smart terminal 10 of the subscribing member, and authenticates the service app 20 of the subscribing member.

In addition, the membership management server 30 sets the type of membership and the grade in the type, sets the service (or service type) according to each type and grade, and the service use range or authority, and defines each membership do.

In addition, the membership management server 30 registers individual training or group lecture services (or course services) such as CrossFit, yoga, Pilates, spinning, and personal training (or personal training) operated by the fitness center as independent objects.

In addition, the membership management server 30 creates a course timetable for the course service.

In addition, the membership management server 30, through the access control device 60, checks the validity of the membership subscribed by the member, and controls the access of the member according to the membership of the member. That is, the membership of the accessed member is recognized, and it is determined in real time whether the member can access or not according to the member's membership. And when it is determined that entry and exit is possible, the entrance is opened through the access control device 60, and when it is determined that entry is not possible, the reason for not being able to enter is output and guide.

Next, the database 40 is a center DB 41 for storing information about the fitness center and the access control device of the center, a membership DB 42 for storing membership information, and a course DB for storing information about the course service. (43), a member DB 44 for storing member information. However, the configuration of the database 40 is only a preferred embodiment, and in developing a specific device, it may be configured in a different structure according to the database construction theory in consideration of the ease and efficiency of access and search.

Meanwhile, the service app 20 and the membership management server 30 may be implemented according to a typical method of configuring a client and a server. That is, the functions of the entire system can be divided according to the performance of the client or the amount of communication with the server. For example, the service app 20 may download and output only information on membership status or course service, and the server 30 may perform all operations such as a list of allowable course services according to membership or access control determination. Alternatively, the service app 20 may download all the contents of the member's membership or course service, determine whether to enter or not, and the server 30 may perform only the data or backup function. Alternatively, the service app 20 can receive real-time status information from the server 30 to perform access control, and the server 30 reflects the execution result in the member's membership to update the real-time membership status. have. Hereinafter, the membership management system will be described, but it may be implemented in various forms according to the server-client configuration method.

Next, a digital door lock-based membership management system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2 . The membership management system according to the present invention may be implemented in the same form as the membership management server 30 of FIG. 1 . Hereinafter, reference numerals of the membership management system are given the same as those of the membership management server 30 .

As shown in FIG. 2, the digital door lock-based membership management system according to the present invention defines a center management unit 31 that registers a fitness center and an access control device, sets the type and grade of membership, and sets the service use range accordingly. Unit 32, a course registration unit 33 for registering course services such as individual training or group course service as an independent object, a course time writing unit 34 for creating a course timetable for the course service, receiving registration information and signing up A member registration unit 35 for registering as a member, an app setting unit 36 for providing to install the service app 20 on the smart terminal 10 of the subscribing member and authenticating the service app 20 of the subscribing member, and the right to take It is composed of a lecture time download unit 37 for downloading a course service, and an access control unit 38 for controlling access of a member according to the member's membership through an access control device 60 .

First, the center management unit 31 registers the fitness center and the access control device 60 of the corresponding center.

Specifically, the center management unit 31 registers a fitness center by the manager terminal 50 , and creates and registers an account (or center account) of the fitness center.

In this case, the fitness center information may be input and registered. The fitness center information consists of the fitness center profile information, such as the fitness center name, event, and address, and credit card information required for payment.

In addition, the center account is an ID (ID) of the fitness center to be accessed by the administrator to the membership management server 30, and a password for user authentication of the center account is also registered.

In addition, the center management unit 31 also receives information on the access control device 60 for the door installed in the fitness center. At this time, after user authentication by the center account is passed, the access control device 60 is registered in a state connected to the corresponding account. Therefore, each access control device 60 belongs to a specific fitness center.

When the center manager installs the access control device 60 at the entrance or classroom entrance of the fitness center, and registers the identification number in the center management unit 31, the service app 20 issues a door opening command to the access control device 60. Provides an interworking interface that can be transmitted to

That is, the center management unit 31 receives the identification number by the input of the manager or the manager terminal 50 , registers it as profile information of the fitness center, and stores it in the center DB 41 . When the access control device 60 supports BLE 4.0 or higher standards, fields such as proximity UUID, major value, minor value may be included in the identification information of the access control device 60 have. In this case, in particular, a proximity UUID (Proximity UUID) is set to the same value in all fitness centers, and a Major Value or Minor Value is uniquely designated for each fitness center. Through this, when the service app 20 requests to open the door, a major value or a minor value is acquired through Bluetooth communication with the access control device 60, and the access control device using the acquired value (60) It is possible to check whether the member is installed in the fitness center joined.

Next, the membership definition unit 32 sets the type of membership and the grade in the type, and sets the service (or service type) and the service use range according to each type and grade, and defines each membership. .

Membership types are divided into period, number of times, and prepayment right. Each of these types of membership will be referred to as fixed-term membership, multiple-time membership, and prepaid membership.

Term membership is a membership whose grade is determined by the period. In the example of FIG. 3 , the grades of the fixed-term membership are divided by periods such as 1 month, 6 months, 12 months, and the like. That is, the longer the period, the higher the rating. The higher the rating, the higher the fee, and the more diverse and diverse the service. That is, the service is provided differentially according to the grade.

Next, the number-based membership is a membership whose grade is determined by the number of times. In particular, the grade is determined by the number of times of attendance or entry and exit. In the example of FIG. 3 , the grades of the number of times membership are divided by the number of times, such as 10 times, 20 times, 30 times, and the like. The higher the number of times, the higher the grade is given.

In addition, the prepaid membership is a membership whose grade is determined by the prepaid amount. In the example of FIG. 3 , the grades of prepaid membership are divided by prepaid rates such as Basic (500,000 won), Premium (1 million won), and Gold (2 million won). The higher the prepaid rate, the higher the grade.

On the other hand, the membership definition unit 32 generates membership by determining the membership type and its grade. That is, when one type and grade (period, number of times, prepayment amount, etc.) is determined, one membership is created.

In addition, the membership definition unit 32 defines the membership by setting a service allowed for the created membership. That is, the membership definition unit 32 defines a corresponding membership by setting a service use range for the created membership. That is, it defines the service use range of the corresponding membership.

First, the services that are granted different right to use according to the membership level are divided into training services and incidental services.

In particular, the training service is divided into self-training, individual training, and group lectures.

First, self-training is a service that trains alone using health equipment (health facilities). In the case of self-training, the member visits the training center at a desired time, and performs training using fitness equipment in the training center.

The use range (or service range, service use range) of the self-training is set by the access time (or access available time) or the number of times of access. In particular, specific access conditions may be set, such as when personal training is reserved.

In addition, the range of use of self-training may be set as an amount. In particular, in the case of a prepaid membership, the amount is set for each one time, and the corresponding amount is deducted at the time of implementation.

Next, personal training is a health PT (personal training) service that is trained alone using fitness equipment, but is guided by a professional trainer. In the case of personal training, members reserve a training time with a professional trainer in advance, visit the scheduled time, receive guidance from the professional trainer, and perform training through the fitness equipment of the training center.

The use range of personal training is set by the number of times. That is, personal training is usually operated as a number-based membership in which fees and service usage rights or scopes are differentially set according to the number of courses taken.

Next, a group course (GX, Group eXercise) is a service that receives training under the guidance of an instructor according to a specific topic for a large number of members. In the case of a group course, the administrator registers the course by defining the course name, course item, course level (or difficulty level), and the instructor in charge. In addition, the time and place of the course, the course content or exercise program, and the instructor in charge are set and announced in the course schedule in advance. Each member who has signed up for a membership with the right to attend the course reserves the course through the service app 20 or visits the course location during the course time to process attendance and participate in group training classes.

Group lectures are provided several times on a regular basis, and one course will be referred to as a session. In addition, a period in which the group lecture is provided may be set. For example, sessions of a group course may be provided periodically, such as 20:00 on weekdays from November to February, and 8 am on weekends from March to October.

The scope of use of group courses, where the right to attend is defined according to membership level, is set by the types of courses (or specific courses) that can be accepted, the number of times to participate, and the like. In particular, the number of participation may be set in units of cycles. For example, it may be set to "3 times a week" or the like.

In particular, in the case of a prepaid membership, the range of use for self-training, personal training, group lectures, etc. may be set as the amount of one execution. That is, each time a service is provided, the corresponding amount (the amount set for each individual course) is deducted from the prepaid fee.

In addition, individual training and group course services will be referred to as course services. That is, the course service represents a training service performed by a leader, such as an instructor or trainer.

Meanwhile, the training service is a service provided by the fitness center, is separated into an independent object, and is registered in the system. The registered object is interconnected with a specific membership among several registered memberships through the interface output on the web.

Next, the incidental service is a service provided in addition to the training service, and includes locker use, sportswear provision, holding (membership suspension service), transfer to another person (transfer of membership rights), and the like.

First, the right to use the locker or the sportswear provision service during training can be set differently depending on the type or grade of membership. For example, even with the same fixed-term membership, sportswear is provided free of charge for 3 months, but lockers are not available.

In addition, the holding service is a temporary suspension service that preserves the period of use by suspending the membership right for a certain period when not in use. The holding service may be set by the number of holding times or holding period.

In addition, the transfer service to others refers to a service that can transfer membership rights to others. The transfer service to others is established by whether transfer is possible.

Meanwhile, the membership definition unit 32 provides an interface or module for the manager or the manager terminal 50 to create and define membership. Preferably, the membership definition unit 32 provides an interface on the web, or provides a module installed in the manager terminal (50).

At this time, the membership definition unit 32 first sets the type of membership, such as fixed-term membership, number-based membership, and prepaid membership, and then subdivides the scope of use for various services by membership level according to the period, number of times, and fee scale. do. In the future, it will be possible to control the opening and closing of the digital door lock in real time according to the service use range set in the membership at the time a member requests access.

As shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6, the administrator uses the interface or module to first determine the rate and contract period for each membership level for fixed-term membership, number-of-time membership, and prepaid membership, respectively. Set the access right by calling the list of services already registered as an independent object on the system, such as group lectures, by expanding In addition, you can conveniently set various common options (or training service or ancillary service) such as daily visit limit, attendance limit, holding limit, class time, number of free PT, etc.

However, as shown in FIG. 4 , the membership definition unit 32 first sets and creates the type and grade of membership, sets the scope of use of the basic service, and then registers independent and individual services such as group courses for membership with the right to attend. Provides an interface or module so that it can be registered by connecting to it.

Next, the course registration unit 33 registers individual training or group lecture services (or course services) such as CrossFit, yoga, Pilates, spinning, and personal training (or personal training) operated by the fitness center as independent objects.

The course service or group course object has attributes such as event, class method, difficulty, number of people limit, class time per class, subject to be banned, number of times deducted per session, instructor, and the like. Item represents the service name. Class methods are divided into GX, which is a group course, PT (personal training, personal training), and small group PT where individual training is conducted as a group. Those who are prohibited from taking classes represent a group of members (group due to age or disease) that is dangerous when participating in high exercise intensity. The instructor represents the person in charge, such as a trainer or teacher, who will be in charge of group lectures for each event.

In addition, the number of times deducted per session indicates the number of times deducted from the number of times membership when the corresponding course is taken once. In particular, in the case of PTs and small group PTs that are mainly operated with a number-based membership, the number of deductions can be set separately according to the operating hours for each session. For example, if a member signs up for 10 individual PT memberships and defines 50 minutes per individual PT session, if a 100-minute PT is executed, 2 sessions will be deducted after completing the course.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 7 , the course registration unit 33 defines a course service object and provides an interface or module that can be registered, creates a course service according to an administrator's input, and registers the properties of the course service. .

Also, the course registration unit 33 may collectively select and register memberships with the right to take courses for each course service or service object. That is, as shown in FIG. 7 , the attendance right for each membership can be defined in such a way that membership with the right to attend the course service is designated as a check box. That is, in the example of FIG. 7 , the 50-minute CrossFit class is a group class for beginners, and those who have signed up for 6 months of fitness, 12 months of fitness, 20 times of health PT, 30 times of health PT, and all prepaid memberships take the course. This is possible. However, because CrossFit is a high-intensity exercise, people over the age of 60 or high blood pressure members cannot take the course.

Next, the course time creation unit 34 creates a time schedule for the course service. There can be two methods of creating a course schedule: a group course repeated at a set time for a certain period of time, and individual training that members reserve at a time available.

The attendance time preparation unit 34 provides an interface or module for setting the attendance time (or attendance timetable) for a group lecture or individual training. That is, the manager of the fitness center accesses the schedule management menu of the member management program and writes a timetable for taking courses registered on the system.

As shown in FIG. 8 , the course schedule retrieves the list of courses stored in the DB, searches for the main instructor name, time and place, and already created course services, and maps them to each other. And the recurring schedule is defined by the calendar.

In addition, in the case of a personal training course, the lecture time preparation unit 34 provides a schedule to be confirmed through advance reservation between the instructor and the member. Also, when scheduling, you can designate a member to make a reservation.

Next, the member registration unit 35 receives personal information (or subscription information) of an individual and registers it as a subscription member. In particular, an interface or module for member registration is provided.

As shown in FIG. 9 , through the manager terminal 50 such as the web or the app in the fitness center, the basic information of the member, lifestyle, medical history, etc. are first entered, and payment information is entered by selecting the membership registered by the member. If you do, member registration is completed on the system. It can be identified whether the subscribing member has the service access right according to the subscribed membership on the system.

By using the age, gender, and medical history information entered during member registration, it is possible to control access to subjects who are prohibited from taking classes by course.

When membership registration is complete, a temporary password is sent to an e-mail, and when a member downloads the app and logs in, the list of classes to which he or she has the right to take classes is automatically displayed on the initial screen.

Next, the app setting unit 36 provides to install the service app 20 on the smart terminal 10 of the subscribing member, and authenticates the service app 20 of the subscribing member.

The app setting unit 36 provides download information so that, when a member is registered and registered, the service app 20 is downloaded and installed in the member's smart terminal 10 .

Specifically, when the membership registration is completed, the app setting unit 36 transmits the temporary password and the URL from which the app can be downloaded to the email entered during member registration by email. Then, the member receives the e-mail, downloads the service app 20, and logs in for the first time with a temporary password. And if you change the password you want, the creation of the member account you signed up for as a member of the fitness center is completed.

Next, when member authentication is requested from the service app 20, authentication is performed in the server, and the service use right defined according to the membership subscribed by the member is set.

Next, the course time download unit 37 downloads the course service with the right to attend when the service app 20 requests the course schedule of all courses for which the member has the right to attend at the time of inquiry according to the membership registered by the member. .

In addition, the course time download unit 37 receives the request of the service app 20, and transmits the timetable of the course that the connected member can take. As shown in FIG. 10 , upon receiving the course timetable of a course that can be taken, the course timetable is output from the service app 20 .

And like PT, after the attendance of the number-based class ends, when the attendance check is completed in the coach app, the class attendance status is displayed as “attendance”.

Next, the access control unit 38 controls the member's access through the access control device 60 according to the member's membership. That is, the membership of the accessed member is recognized, and it is determined in real time whether the member can access or not according to the member's membership. And when it is determined that entry and exit is possible, the entrance is opened through the access control device 60, and when it is determined that entry is not possible, the reason for not being able to enter is output and guide.

On the other hand, since the membership management system is a server-client system by the membership management server and the service app 20, the function of the access control unit 38 is executed in the service app 20, or the service app 20 depending on the construction method. It can be shared and executed between the server and the server.

Specifically, when the member accesses the "open door" menu, the access control unit 38 determines whether the accessed member has access to the fitness center and the right to attend a specific class at the current time.

The access control unit 38 does not control access by simply judging which member is a valid member or a cancelled member of the fitness center, just like the existing solution. Instead, the access control unit 38 provides information such as the number of daily attendance, attendance history, attendance record, list of available courses, course reservation status, current course reservation capacity, medical history, etc. Since you already have the , it is possible to determine in real time whether the member has the right to access the fitness center at the time of inquiry.

If the access control unit 38 determines that the requested member does not have the access right, the “open door” button is not activated in the service app 20 before commanding the access control device 60 to open through short-range wireless communication. Instead, it prints a message saying "You can't attend now. Please ask the staff directly at 00-0000-0000." Access is not allowed when a member who has signed up for a one-month health membership without a voucher for a group course opens the GX room and requests access, or a member of the PT 10th membership, which allows access to the fitness center only on the PT reservation date, does not make a PT reservation. If you try to access the fitness center, or if a PT member who has access to the fitness center only once a day, 20 times a day or a member of the gym for 1 month, wants to access the fitness center again in the evening after already entering in the morning, or the member is holding (membership) Temporary permission suspension), when access is made outside the time defined in the membership, or when a male member selects and enters a course for women only. It may vary depending on the course target setting defined at the time of registration.

Next, the access control unit 38 authenticates the member's access right in real time. That is, when a member selects a course to take and accesses from the door open menu, the service app 20 determines whether current attendance is possible through the access control unit 38 . If you are currently able to attend, the "Open Door Button" is activated. When the member presses the door open button, the Bluetooth-based access control device 60 detects an advertising BLE signal and compares it with the stored identification information of the access control device 60 during user authentication to verify whether it matches. Only when they match, a Bluetooth connection is established between the smart terminal 10 and the access control device 60 such as a digital door lock, and a request to open the door is transmitted according to a defined protocol. The access control device 60 such as a digital door lock receives the door open request transmitted through the Bluetooth connection and releases the lock.

Alternatively, after the access authority is authenticated in real time through the access control unit 38 , a course to be taken is selected in the service app 20 and an interlocking interface is called when accessing the door open menu. Then, when the access control unit 38 receives the request to open the door, it directly transmits the request to the access control device 60 connected to the Internet through a gateway device such as WiFi. That is, the digital door lock may be controlled in such a way that it is transmitted directly to the access control device 60 to release the locking device. In this case, there is no need for short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth or NFC between the service terminal 10 or the service app 20 and the access control device 60 because the door opening command is transmitted to the access control device 60 in a detour.

On the other hand, if the access control device operates based on NFC, the service app (2) prompts the user to “turn on NFC and tap the smartphone to the access control device” with text or image instead of activating the “open door button” if the service app (2) is currently available for attendance. Show messages to members.

On the other hand, the access control unit 38 receives the door opening and closing command from the member through the service app 20 and transmits this command back to the access control device 60 to directly control the opening and closing of the door by using an interlocking interface or communication protocol. It is set in advance and performs opening/closing operation with the access control device 60 according to the set interworking interface or communication protocol.

In the above, the invention made by the present inventors has been described in detail according to the above embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
