Description

Collective valuable storage device

The present invention is a collective type in which locking / unlocking is performed using biometric authentication data such as fingerprints, palm prints, and iris patterns, and ID data stored in an RFID tag incorporated in an IC card, without using a password. It relates to a valuable storage device.

In places where a large number of unspecified customers visit, such as golf courses and fitness clubs, where customers are forced to leave their valuables while staying at the facility, they can enter a PIN number to lock and unlock A collective valuable storage device is installed.

Especially at golf courses, the play fee is high, and the customer's handling of valuables is important because the customer brings large amounts of cash and credit cards. Despite having to bring a wallet with a large amount of cash or credit card, the golf course has a valuable bag because it can be lost if you carry it with you when you play. Customers can store their valuables or set up a collective valuable storage device near the front desk using the PIN as a key.

Keys for valuables storage devices include the method of prompting the user to enter a personal identification number or the use of a biometric device such as a fingerprint recognition sensor due to the risk of theft if lost when handing the actual key to the user and the complexity of key management. An apparatus for locking / unlocking a storage box that uses human body authentication data collected by an authentication sensor is applied to a valuable storage apparatus as disclosed in Patent Document 1 below.

However, in the conventional valuables storage device, the user has to enter the password, so there are many operation procedures, and the date of birth and telephone number are set so that the password is not forgotten. Since there is no end to the person, there is a case where the secret code number is grasped by a third party, which contributes to theft.

In addition, if you enter a password that is different from the password that the user is expecting when you enter the password for the first time, the user may assume that when taking out valuables. Even if you enter a secret code, you may not be able to unlock.

In this way, there have been many cases where customers have troubles due to misoperation of valuable storage devices, and third parties have used sophisticated means to grasp the secret code of valuable storage devices and steal valuables. There are also malicious cases where golf course employees can be stolen, and the current situation is that safety and management responsibility regarding the management of valuables are becoming a social issue.

Therefore, without using a personal identification number, an IC card incorporating an RFID tag is incorporated into a score card holder or the like, and based on ID data stored in the RFID tag and biometric data collected by a biometric sensor, A device for locking / unlocking the electromagnetic lock of the door of the storage box is disclosed in Patent Document 2 below.

Cards such as score card holders may be accidentally placed in the storage box and locked, in which case they cannot be unlocked.

Also, it is desirable to have nothing in the swimming pool while swimming. For this reason, admission cards equipped with RFID tags that are received upon check-in and returned upon check-in must be placed in the storage box of the valuables storage.

Therefore, an apparatus that locks and unlocks the electromagnetic lock of the storage box based only on the biometric authentication data has also been proposed. If the electromagnetic lock is locked / unlocked based only on such human body characteristic data, the valuable storage can be used by anyone unrelated to facilities such as golf courses and swimming pools, or nothing can be stored in the valuable storage. May be locked without entering.

Therefore, the present invention has been conceived to solve the problems in the device that locks and unlocks the electromagnetic lock of the valuables storage based on the ID data of the RFID tag and the biometric authentication data. It is.

When storing valuables, the user is based on the RFID tag ID data and the biometric authentication data. Make it possible to lock the door of the selected storage box, and to unlock the door of the storage box based on the biometric data when taking out valuables from the storage box selected by the user. It is configured.

According to the collective valuable storage apparatus of the present invention, the operation is completed simply by allowing the customer to bring a card or the like having an RFID tag close to the reader / writer and touching the finger with the fingerprint reader or the hand with the palm print reader. Is simple.

Since a personal identification number is not used, there is no problem based on the personal identification number and security is high. If the ID data of the RFID tag is configured to be rewritten each time, it can be used safely and repeatedly, and it is simple and economical.

Cards with RFID tags are used to lock valuables in the storage box. When unlocking the storage box and taking out valuables, customers can unlock the card based on biometric data only. There is no need to carry cards, which is convenient in the swimming pool.

Like a golf course, the scorecard is unlocked with biometric data even if it is locked with the valuables in the storage box, along with valuables, even though it is necessary during play. Can be taken out.

When locking the storage box, a card equipped with an RFID tag is required, so that it is possible to prevent use by anyone unrelated to facilities such as golf courses and swimming pools, and the storage box is locked without anything. Can be prevented. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent a suspicious object from being placed in the storage box, and in particular to prevent an explosive device due to terrorism. *
