By inputting a letter, both devices have the same code so that communication can be performed smoothly, and a number or letter is inputted to the room number setting switch 224 to identify a room where the first transceiver 200 is installed. do. Then, a key (key tag) used by the guest, a key used by the employee, and a key used by the manager, that is, a key inserted in different numbers and positions, respectively, are prepared.

Hereinafter, the part of the system of the present invention will be described during the process of entering and leaving the guest 101 into the room 101 using the system prepared as described above.

When the guest has a key and inserts a key into the door switch 212 of the room 101 assigned to the guest, opens the door, enters the door, and stores the key in the key rack after entering the key detector 214 inserting the key. Know that the guest has entered the room by the number and location of the magnets. At this time, the first microcomputer 240 wirelessly transmits the ID and room number of the first transceiver 201 installed in the guest room 101 through the first RF receiver 230.

The wirelessly transmitted signal is received by the second RF receiver 310 of the second transceiver 300, and the second microcomputer 340 compares the ID value set with its own transceiver 300. If it does not match, it is ignored. If the value matches, the signal is owned by the front desk or the manager through the first interface 330 via the second interface 410, the third microcomputer 430, and the third interface 420. The server computer 500 transmits a signal. The received signal is interlocked with a program required for room management in the server computer 500 to display a situation that the guest has entered the specific room 101 on the monitor.

When a guest presses a button of the switch box 111 to use a lamp, an indoor temperature, a TV, a VTR, or the Internet installed in the guest room, the signal is the same as the above procedure, that is, the first transceiver 200 and the second transceiver. If the server 300 is transferred to the server computer 500 through the device 300 and the multiplexer 400, and an employee or manager such as a hotel grasps this and makes an inappropriate operation, the operation may be restricted or appropriate measures may be taken. . In this case, if the appropriate measures are taken, the procedure is reversed from the above procedure, that is, through the server computer 500, the multiplexer 400, the second transceiver 300, the first transceiver 200 and the switch box 111. You can adjust the necessary equipment.

When the guest leaves, the key must be removed from the key rack. When the key is removed, the signal is transmitted in the same way as the first guest enters the room, and the server computer 500 recognizes this fact. While the room is empty, the employee can take immediate steps to clean the room and organize it. By doing so, the employee can clean the room while the guest is empty. At this time, the employee can open the door as his own key and store the key in the key rack so that the employee can enter the server computer 500. This data remains as a database, which can serve the additional purpose of managing employees' attendance.

As seen above, as soon as the guest enters or leaves the room, the manager or employees can know whether or not they have entered the room, so that they can clean the room smoothly. There is an effect that the administrator can directly adjust the convenience device or auxiliary equipment, and it is effective to grasp the working situation of the employee conveniently. This effect is made by wireless, so separate wiring work and pool during the construction of the hotel, etc. Since there is no need to install the box, the effect of shortening the air and reducing the construction cost can be achieved, and even if a new device is installed and installed, no additional wiring work is required, so that the construction can be performed smoothly. Since there is no time to do the housekeeping The effect is that.
