Thus, the authentication server 120 determines whether the received address information matches the user information stored in the database 130. [

If it is determined in step S430 that the compared data does not match the data stored in the database, the authentication server 120 transmits an unauthorized authentication message for user authentication to the controller 110 in step S440.

That is, the fact that the user has received the unauthorized message means that the data stored in the database 130 and the information of the user's personal computer 200 connected by the authentication server 120 do not match.

If it is determined that the data stored in the database matches the data stored in the database in step S430, the authentication server 120 transmits an approval message for the user approval to the controller 110 in step S450.

If the control unit 110 receives the approval message in step S450, the control unit 110 causes the kiosk 140 installed on the outside of the smart office 100 to display the seat occupancy status so that the user can check the seat occupancy status in step S460.

At the same time, the control unit 110 sets the telephone 210 and the electronic nameplate 220 installed in the existing seat 160 according to the user connected thereto, and changes the operation so that the telephone 210 and the electronic nameplate 220 can operate.

The control unit 110 also transmits an approval message to the user's personal computer 200 connected to the seat 160 to allow the user of the seat 160 to recognize the approval.

In particular, the control unit 110 may comprise equipment or software, and may be installed in the authentication server 120 or installed in the personal computer 200 in advance.
