On the other hand, when the door opening detection signal is output, the control unit 210 outputs a camera operation signal to store the captured image and outputs an alarm sound generation signal and the corresponding state information when the door is not normally opened. After recording, it can be transmitted to the operator server computer 300.

In addition, when the shock detection signal is output, the control unit 210 outputs a camera operation signal to store the captured image and at the same time outputs an alarm sound generation signal, records the corresponding state information, and transmits it to the operator server computer 300. Can be.

In addition, when the fire detection signal is output, the controller 210 outputs a camera operation signal to store the captured image, outputs an alarm sound generation signal, records corresponding state information, and transmits the same to the operator server computer 300. Can be.

In addition, when the door is opened, the controller 210 may store the information regarding the state regardless of whether the door is normally opened and transmit the information to the operator server computer 300.

Although not shown, a detection sensor for detecting a moving state of the parallel plate rack member 110 is installed for each of the parallel plate rack members 110 to detect which rack member 11 has been moved and the state information thereof. It may be recorded and transmitted to later used as management data.

Referring to FIG. 6, the control unit 210 of the management system 200 of the front open type kiosk 100 provided with the security function according to the present invention opens the front member 106 to open the door from the door open detection unit 232. When the detection signal is received (ST-2), it is determined whether the corresponding door opening detection signal is a normal opening signal (ST-4). If the signal is normally open, record the door open status and transmit it. In this case, the recording contents may include individual information of the corresponding kiosk 100 at the current time and date when the door is opened.

As a result of the determination of step ST-4, if it is not a normal open signal, the camera operating unit 230 is immediately controlled to output a driving signal to the CD camera 160 (ST-6). The camera 160 photographs and stores a subject. Of course, at this time, the shooting method of the subject can be set in various ways such as continuous shooting, zoom shooting, panorama shooting, and the shooting time can be set in various ways such as continuous shooting for a few seconds and continuous shooting for a few minutes, and data storage of the captured pictures Of course, it can be stored in the unit 250 and transmitted to the server computer 300 (ST-10). Meanwhile, at the same time as photographing, the controller 210 may drive the alarm sound generator 240 to generate an alarm sound in the speaker 150. Pre-stored contents may be output through the speaker 150, and a sound of a specific volume may be continuously generated or, for example, an alarm message may be generated while a voice message of “emergency state” is output. You could do it.

On the other hand, the control unit 210 of the management system 200, when the shock end signal is received from the shock detection unit 222 (ST-12), immediately controlling the camera operating unit 230, the CD camera 160 It is possible to output the drive signal to (ST-6). Since subsequent steps will proceed as described above, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

On the other hand, the control unit 210 of the management system 200 when the fire occurrence detection signal is received from the fire detection (242) (ST-22), immediately controlling the camera operating unit 230 to the CD camera 160 It is possible to output the drive signal to (ST-6). Since subsequent steps will proceed as described above, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, according to the front open type kiosk equipped with a security function according to the present invention, the front door of the kiosk detects the open state and when the shock is applied to the kiosk, the state and the fire state to detect the camera shooting and By executing the alarm sound and storing the information of the state and transmitting it to the server, the administrator can later refer to managing the kiosk through the record information.

In addition, according to the open state of the door, the impact detection state, the fire detection state, the camera is taken on-site and the status information is recorded and transmitted at the same time, the security is enhanced.

Although the present invention has been described based on the above-described preferred embodiment, the present invention is not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art will be able to make various modifications based on the appended claims.
