<First Embodiment>
First, an overview of the management system according to the present embodiment and an outline of components included in the management system will be described.

The management system of this embodiment is a system that manages getting on and off trains, buses, and the like using biological information. As shown in FIG. 1, the management system includes a management device 10 and a plurality of stop point systems 20. The management apparatus 10 and the plurality of stop point systems 20 are configured to be able to communicate with each other by any communication means.

The management apparatus 10 manages ticket information and biometric information related to the purchased ticket for each user. Then, the management device 10 creates a boarding white list, which is a list of users who are permitted to board, for each stop point (eg, for each railway station, for each bus / tram stop). The management apparatus 10 creates a boarding white list including a part of users among a plurality of users who have a boarding ticket that can be boarded from each station as a boarding white list for each station.

And the management apparatus 10 transmits the user's biometric information included in the boarding white list corresponding to each stop point system 20 to each stop point system 20.

A plurality of stop point systems 20 are installed for each stop point. The stop point system 20 may include a ticket gate, a gate (security gate) for controlling user getting on and off, or a local server for temporarily storing and processing data.

The stop point system 20 is acquired from the management apparatus 10 with biometric information (referred to as “target biometric information”) acquired from a user at the stop point, that is, a user who is about to get on (for example, a user who is about to pass through a gate). Authentication processing is performed based on the biometric information (referred to as “registered biometric information”). Acquisition of target biometric information is realized via an input device such as a camera, a fingerprint sensor, or a microphone. Here, the relationship between the registered biometric information and the boarding white list in the present embodiment is “the registered biometric information is the biometric information of the user included in the boarding white list”.

Then, the stop point system 20 manages whether or not the user can get on the basis of the result of the authentication process. That is, when the target biometric information matches any registered biometric information, the stop point system 20 permits the user to get on. On the other hand, if the target biometric information does not match any registered biometric information, the stop point system 20 does not allow the user to get on.

The process when allowing boarding and the process when not allowing boarding are design matters. For example, when the boarding is not permitted, the stop point system 20 may perform warning output via an arbitrary output device (eg, lamp, speaker, display, etc.), or may close the gate. On the other hand, when permitting boarding, the stop point system 20 may perform output when permitting boarding via an arbitrary output device (eg, lamp, speaker, display, etc.), or may open the gate. Good.

As described above, the management system of the present embodiment creates a boarding white list including a part of users among a plurality of users who have boarding tickets that can be boarded from each stopping point as a boarding white list for each stopping point. Using the user's biometric information (registered biometric information) included in the boarding whitelist, a verification process is performed at each stop point. For this reason, the amount of registered biometric information used for the verification process at each stop point can be suppressed.

Next, the configuration of the management device 10 and the stop point system 20 will be described in detail. First, an example of the hardware configuration of each of the management device 10 and the stop point system 20 will be described. Each functional unit provided in each of the management device 10 and the stop point system 20 of the present embodiment includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) of an arbitrary computer, a memory, a program loaded in the memory, and a storage unit such as a hard disk storing the program (In addition to programs stored from the stage of shipping the device in advance, storage media such as CDs (Compact Discs) and programs downloaded from servers on the Internet, etc.) can also be stored. It is realized by any combination of software and software. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that there are various modifications to the implementation method and apparatus.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of each of the management device 10 and the stop point system 20 of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, each of the management device 10 and the stop point system 20 includes a processor 1A, a memory 2A, an input / output interface 3A, a peripheral circuit 4A, and a bus 5A. The peripheral circuit 4A includes various modules.

The bus 5A is a data transmission path through which the processor 1A, the memory 2A, the peripheral circuit 4A, and the input / output interface 3A transmit / receive data to / from each other. The processor 1A is an arithmetic processing unit such as a CPU or a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). The memory 2A is a memory such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) or a ROM (Read Only Memory). The input / output interface 3A is an interface for acquiring information from an input device (eg, keyboard, mouse, microphone, physical key, touch panel display, code reader, etc.), external device, external server, external sensor, etc., and an output device ( Examples: display, speaker, printer, mailer, etc.), external device, an interface for outputting information to an external server, etc. The processor 1A can issue a command to each module and perform a calculation based on the calculation result.

Next, the functional configuration of the management apparatus 10 will be described. FIG. 3 shows an example of a functional block diagram of the management apparatus 10. As illustrated, the management apparatus 10 includes a user information management unit 11, a list creation unit 12, and a transmission unit 13.

The user information management unit 11 manages ticket information and biometric information related to the purchased ticket for each user. FIG. 4 schematically shows an example of information (management information) managed by the user information management unit 11. The management information associates a user ID (identifier), biometric information, various types of information, and ticket information with each other. The management information is registered as follows, for example.

First, a user who uses the service creates an account and registers various information and biometric information. Examples of various information to be registered include name, age, date of birth, address, telephone number, credit card information, etc., but some of these may not be included or other information may be included. The biometric information is exemplified by a face image, a fingerprint, a voiceprint, an iris, or a feature amount extracted from any of these, but may be other information. Account creation, registration of various types of information and biometric information may be executed via an application dedicated to the service installed on a user terminal (eg, smartphone, tablet, etc.), Access and run on the website.

In accordance with the creation of a new account, a new user ID, biometric information, and various information combinations are registered in the management information.

The user who created the account can purchase a desired ticket at any time. The purchase of a boarding ticket may be executed via an application dedicated to the service, or may be executed on a website of the service.

The user purchases a desired ticket by specifying the type of ticket and items specific to various types of tickets. Hereinafter, various types of tickets are exemplified.

"Zone Ticket"
As an example of a boarding ticket, a zone ticket that can be freely taken on and off at an arbitrary stop point in a predetermined zone is exemplified. When there are a plurality of zones, the user can specify a desired zone when purchasing a ticket. There may be one zone, and in this case, it is not necessary to specify a zone when purchasing a ticket.

Zone tickets include one-time zone tickets that can be hopped on and off only once, and zone tickets that can be hopped on and off repeatedly within a predetermined period. Examples of the predetermined period include one day, two hours, six hours, twelve hours, one week, one month, three months, and six months, but are not limited thereto. The user can specify a desired period when purchasing a ticket. A so-called commuter pass is an example of a relatively long term zone ticket with a predetermined period of one month, three months, and six months.

The count start timing for the predetermined period may be the purchase timing of the ticket, or the timing when the user passes the ticket gate or the gate (the timing when the stop point system 20 permits boarding). The timing at which the user performs a predetermined operation (activate operation) after purchasing the ticket may be used. In the case of a timing at which a predetermined operation is performed (activation operation), boarding based on the boarding ticket becomes possible after the activation operation. That is, boarding based on the boarding ticket is not permitted after purchasing the boarding ticket and before the activation operation.

The activation operation may be executed via an application dedicated to the service, or may be executed on the website of the service. For example, the user may be able to display a list of purchased tickets on the display of the user terminal after operating the user terminal and logging in. Then, the user may be able to input an instruction to designate one boarding ticket and activate the boarding ticket. The contents of the instruction input are transmitted from the user terminal to the management apparatus 10 and the fact that the boarding ticket has been activated is registered. The configuration of the application or website for the activation operation is a design matter and is not limited to the one described here. Note that the activation operation is not required when the count start timing for the predetermined period is the ticket purchase timing or the like.

The count start timing and activation operation for the predetermined period described here are the same for the boarding point designation ticket and distance designation ticket described below.

"Boarding point designation ticket"
As another example of the boarding ticket, a boarding point designation ticket in which a boarding point and a boarding point are designated as a stop point where the user gets on and off the board is exemplified. Getting off includes the meaning of getting off. The boarding point designation ticket includes a one-time boarding point designation ticket that can be boarded and exited only once, a period boarding point designation ticket that can be repeatedly boarded and exited within a predetermined period, and the like. Examples of the predetermined period include one day, two hours, six hours, twelve hours, one week, one month, three months, and six months, but are not limited thereto. The user can specify a desired period when purchasing a ticket. A so-called commuter pass can be cited as an example of a relatively long term boarding point designation ticket with a predetermined period of one month, three months, and six months.

The boarding / designating ticket may allow only boarding from a designated boarding point, and allow only boarding at a designated boarding point. In addition, the boarding / designating ticket may allow boarding and getting off at any stop point between the designated boarding point and the boarding point.

The designation of the boarding point and the getting-off point may be designation of one stop point in each case, or designation of an area including a plurality of stop points.

"Distance designation ticket"
As another example of a boarding ticket, a distance designation ticket that designates a travel distance is exemplified. The distance designation ticket includes a one-time distance designation ticket that can be entered and exited only once, a period distance designation ticket that can be repeatedly taken on and off within a predetermined period, and the like. Examples of the predetermined period include one day, two hours, six hours, twelve hours, one week, one month, three months, and six months, but are not limited thereto. The user can specify a desired period when purchasing a ticket. A so-called commuter pass is an example of a relatively long distance designation ticket with a predetermined period of one month, three months, and six months.

The travel distance specified in the distance designation ticket is specified by the fare from the boarding point to the departure point, such as “from the boarding point to XX yen section”, “from the boarding point to XX dollar section”, etc. The

A user who has a distance designation ticket may be allowed to board from a specified stop point, or may be allowed to board from an arbitrary stop point. In any case, the user is allowed to get off at the stop point where the travel distance from the boarding point is within the designated travel distance.

"Prepaid ticket"
As another example of a boarding ticket, a prepaid ticket that does not specify a zone, a boarding point, a getting-off point, a moving distance, or the like is exemplified. The prepaid ticket can be charged any amount. A user who has a prepaid ticket charged more than a predetermined amount is allowed to board from any stop point. Then, it is allowed to get off at the stop point where the amount charged for the movement from the boarding point is equal to or less than the charged amount.

The user purchases a desired ticket by specifying the type of ticket and items specific to each ticket. Then, the information regarding the purchased boarding ticket is managed by the user information management part 11 as ticket information. Moreover, when setting it as the structure which requires activation operation, the user information management part 11 may further manage whether each boarding ticket is activated.

Returning to FIG. 3, the list creation unit 12 creates a boarding white list including users who have boarding tickets that can be boarded from each stop point, for each stop point. FIG. 5 schematically shows an example of the boarding white list. In the illustrated example, one or a plurality of user IDs are associated with each stop point ID. A user associated with each stop point is a user included in the boarding white list at each stop point.

Here, an example of conditions for determining the user in order to create a boarding white list for each stop point will be described.

“Condition 1-1: Create a boarding whitelist limited to users who have a valid ticket”
The list creation unit 12 adds a user who has a ticket within the valid period to the boarding white list. When based on the condition 1-1, the list creation unit 12 does not add a user who has a ticket outside the valid period to the boarding white list. A ticket that has passed the validity period, a ticket before the activation operation, or the like is a ticket that is not valid.

Condition 1-1 can be applied to a period zone ticket, a period boarding point designation ticket, a period distance designation ticket, and the like.

“Condition 1-2: For each stop point, create a boarding whitelist limited to users who have a ticket that can be boarded at each stop point”
Based on the ticket information, the list creation unit 12 identifies a stop point where each user can board each boarding ticket. And the list creation part 12 adds each user to the boarding white list of the stop point. When based on the condition 1-2, the list creation unit 12 does not add each user to the boarding white list of stop points other than the stop points at which the user can get on.

In the case of a zone ticket, the stop point in the zone is the stop point where you can get on. In the case of a boarding / designating ticket that permits only boarding from the designated boarding point, the designated boarding point is a stop point where the boarding is possible. In the case of a boarding point designation ticket that permits boarding and getting off at any stop point between the designated boarding point and the boarding point, the stop point between the boarding point and the boarding point (the designated boarding point) Is a stopping point where you can get on.

In the case of a distance designation ticket that allows boarding from the designated stop point, the designated boarding point becomes a stop point where the boarding is possible. In the case of a distance designation ticket that allows boarding from an arbitrary stop point, all stop points are stop points that can be boarded. In the case of a prepaid ticket, all the stop points are stop points where the passenger can get on.

Condition 1-2 can be applied to zone tickets, boarding / designating tickets, distance designation tickets, and the like.

“Condition 1-3: For each stop point, a boarding white list limited to users whose relation between the registered address of the user and each stop point satisfies a predetermined condition” is created.
The list creation unit 12 adds each user to the boarding white list at the stop where the relationship with the address registered in advance satisfies a predetermined condition. When based on the condition 1-3, the list creation unit 12 does not add each user to the boarding white list at the stop where the relationship with the address registered in advance does not satisfy the predetermined condition.

Predetermined conditions here are, for example, “a stop point whose distance from a pre-registered address is a predetermined value or less”, “a stop point closest to a pre-registered address”, “from a pre-registered address” For example, “stop points included within a predetermined number from the closest distance”. Condition 1-3 is applicable to all tickets.

“Condition 1-4: For each stop point, a boarding white list is created that is limited to users whose relationship between the position when the user performs a predetermined operation related to the boarding ticket and each stop point satisfies a predetermined condition”
The list creation unit 12 adds each user to the boarding white list at a stop where the relationship with the position when a predetermined operation relating to the boarding ticket is performed satisfies a predetermined condition. When based on the condition 1-4, the list creation unit 12 does not add each user to the boarding white list at the stop where the relationship with the position when the predetermined operation related to the boarding ticket is performed does not satisfy the predetermined condition.

The predetermined operations here include, for example, purchase of a ticket, activation operation, and the like. The predetermined condition here is, for example, “a stop point where the distance from the position when the predetermined operation is performed is a predetermined value or less”, “a stop point closest to the position when the predetermined operation is performed”, “predetermined "Stop points included within a predetermined number from the closest distance from the position when the operation is performed" is exemplified.

The list creation unit 12 can acquire a position when a predetermined operation related to a boarding ticket is performed from a user terminal used by the user to perform a predetermined operation. The user terminal acquires current position information when a predetermined operation related to the boarding ticket is performed by any means such as GPS (global positioning system) and transmits the current position information to the management device 10.

If the predetermined operation is purchase of a ticket, Condition 1-4 is applicable to all tickets. On the other hand, when the predetermined operation is an activation operation, the condition can be applied to a period zone ticket, a period boarding point designation ticket, a period distance designation ticket, and the like.

“Condition 1-5: A boarding white list is created in which the user is added for each stopping point where the relationship between the user and the boarding point where the user has a ticket that can repeatedly get on and off within a predetermined period satisfies the predetermined condition”
The list creating unit 12 identifies a user's getting-off point having a boarding ticket that can be repeatedly taken on and off within a predetermined period, and adds the user to a boarding white list at a stopping point whose relationship with the getting-off point satisfies a predetermined condition. When the condition 1-5 is satisfied, the list creation unit 12 does not add the user to the boarding white list of the stop points where the relationship with the drop-off point of the user having the boarding ticket that can repeatedly get on and off within the predetermined period does not satisfy the predetermined condition. . The boarding tickets that can be repeatedly boarded and exited within a predetermined period are a period zone ticket, a period boarding point designation ticket, a period distance designation ticket, and the like.

The predetermined conditions here are, for example, “a stop point that coincides with the drop-off point”, “a stop point whose distance from the drop-off point is a predetermined value or less”, “a stop point closest to the drop-off point”, “a distance from the drop-off point” For example, “stop points included within a predetermined number from the near side”.

The list creation unit 12 can acquire information indicating the boarding point and the getting off point of each user from the stop point system 20, for example.

Condition 1-5 can be applied to a period zone ticket, a period boarding point designation ticket, a period distance designation ticket, and the like.

The list creation unit 12 determines a user to be added to the boarding white list at each stop point based on one of the above-described conditions 1-1 to 1-5 or a condition obtained by combining a plurality of the conditions with a predetermined logical expression. be able to.

“Condition 1-6: If a user having a ticket that can only get on and off is detected, the user is deleted from the boarding white list”
The list creation unit 12 deletes the user from the boarding white list when the boarding of the user having a boarding ticket that can be entered and exited only once is detected. Tickets that can be entered and exited only once are a one-time zone ticket, a one-time boarding point designation ticket, a one-time distance designation ticket, and the like.

The list creation unit 12 can obtain information indicating each user's boarding and getting off from the stop point system 20, for example.

Condition 1-6 can be applied to a one-time zone ticket, a one-time boarding / designating ticket, a one-time distance designation ticket, and the like.

“Condition 1-7: A user who has a ticket that can be repeatedly taken on and off within a predetermined period is deleted from the boarding white list as the predetermined period elapses.”
The list creation unit 12 deletes a user who has a boarding ticket that can repeatedly get on and off within a predetermined period from the boarding white list as the predetermined period elapses. A boarding ticket that can be repeatedly boarded and exited within a predetermined period is applicable to a period zone ticket, a period boarding point designation ticket, a period distance designation ticket, and the like. Condition 1-7 can be applied to a period zone ticket, a period boarding point designation ticket, a period distance designation ticket, and the like.

The list creation unit 12 determines a user to be deleted from the boarding white list at each stop based on one of the conditions 1-6 and 1-7 exemplified above or a condition obtained by combining a plurality of the conditions with a predetermined logical expression. be able to.

In addition, information (update information) related to purchase, activation operation, boarding, and getting off by each user is transmitted from the user terminal or the stop point system 20 to the management device 10. Transmission / reception of update information may be performed by real-time processing. Then, the list creation unit 12 updates the boarding white list based on the received update information. When the management apparatus 10 receives new update information, the list creation unit 12 may update the boarding white list accordingly.

Returning to FIG. 3, the transmission unit 13 transmits the biometric information of the user included in the boarding white list corresponding to each stop point to the system (stop point system 20) for each stop point. The stop point system 20 stores the received biometric information of the user as a boarding white list.

The boarding white list stored in the stop point system 20 and the boarding white list managed by the management device 10 are periodically synchronized so that the users included in the list match. The synchronization processing is executed in such a manner that the boarding white list stored in the stop point system 20 is matched with the boarding white list of each stop point managed by the management device 10. The synchronization process may be performed periodically at relatively short time intervals, or may be performed each time the boarding white list at each stop point managed by the management device 10 is updated.

According to the management system of the present embodiment described above, a boarding white list including a part of users among a plurality of users having a boarding ticket that can be boarded from each station as the boarding white list for each station is created. And the collation process in each stop point can be performed using the user's biometric information (registered biometric information) included in the boarding white list. For this reason, the amount of registered biometric information used for the verification process at each stop point can be suppressed. Moreover, the data amount transmitted from the management apparatus 10 to each stop point system 20 can be suppressed.

Further, according to the management system of the present embodiment, it is possible to narrow down the users included in the boarding white list for each stop based on the characteristic conditions (conditions 1-1 to 1-7 described above). . By appropriately narrowing down according to the characteristic conditions, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of inconveniences such as refusal of a user having boarding authority.

Here, a modification of this embodiment will be described. In the modified example, the stop point system 20 receives “registered biometric information of all users having boarding tickets that can be boarded from each stop point system 20” from the management device 10. Further, the stop point system 20 receives information indicating the user included in the boarding white list of each stop point system 20 from the management device 10.

And the stop point system 20 performs authentication processing in two steps. The registered biometric information used in each step is different. In the first step, the stop point system 20 uses the registered biometric information of the user included in the boarding white list. In the second step, the stop point system 20 uses registered biometric information of other users.

If the authentication is performed in the first step, the stop point system 20 ends the user authentication process without executing the second step. On the other hand, when it is not authenticated in the first step, the stop point system executes the second step. When authenticated in the first step or the second step, the stop point system 20 permits the user to get on. On the other hand, if neither the first step nor the second step is authenticated, the stop point system 20 does not permit the user to get on. The process for permitting boarding and the process for not permitting boarding are design matters. Also in the modified example, it is possible to reduce the burden of collation processing by the stop point system 20. Further, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of inconvenience that the user having the boarding authority refuses to board.

<Second Embodiment>
The management system of this embodiment is different from that of the first embodiment in that a getting-off white list is created for each stop point. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

The overall image of the management system, the components included in the management system, the hardware configuration of the management device 10 and the stop point system 20 are the same as those in the first embodiment.

An example of a functional block diagram of the management apparatus 10 is shown in FIG. 3 as in the first embodiment. As illustrated, the management apparatus 10 includes a user information management unit 11, a list creation unit 12, and a transmission unit 13. The configuration of the user information management unit 11 is the same as that of the first embodiment.

The list creation unit 12 creates a getting-off white list that is a list of users who are allowed to get off at each stop point. FIG. 6 schematically shows an example of the getting-off white list. In the illustrated example, a user is associated with each stop point. A user associated with each stop point is a user included in the getting-off white list at each stop point.

Here, an example of conditions for determining the user in order to create a whitelist for getting off at each stop point will be described.

“Condition 2-1: Create a getting-off white list limited to users who have a valid ticket”
The list creation unit 12 adds a user who has a ticket within the valid period to the getting-off white list. When based on the condition 2-1, the list creation unit 12 does not add a user who has a ticket outside the valid period to the getting-off white list. A ticket that has passed the validity period, a ticket before the activation operation, or the like is a ticket that is not valid.

Condition 2-1 can be applied to period zone tickets, period boarding point designation tickets, period distance designation tickets, and the like.

“Condition 2-2: For each stopping point, create a getting-off white list limited to users who have a ticket that can get off at each stopping point”
Based on the ticket information, the list creation unit 12 identifies a stop point where each user's boarding ticket can get off. And the list preparation part 12 adds each user to the getting-off white list of the stop point. When based on the condition 2-2, the list creation unit 12 does not add each user to the getting-off white list of the stopping points other than the stopping points at which the user can get off.

In the case of a zone ticket, the stop point in the zone is the stop point where the car can get off. In the case of a boarding / designating ticket that permits only getting off at a designated getting-off point, the designated getting-off point is a stop point at which the user can get off. In the case of a boarding point designation ticket that permits boarding and getting off at any stop point between the designated boarding point and the boarding point, the stop point between the boarding point and the boarding point (the designated boarding point) Is a stopping point where you can get off. In the case of a distance designation ticket and a prepaid ticket, all the stop points are stop points where the passenger can get off.

Condition 2-2 can be applied to zone tickets and boarding / departure point designation tickets.

“Condition 2-3: Create a getting-off white list with the user added for each stop point within the distance that the user's boarding point can travel with the user's boarding ticket”
The list creation unit 12 adds each user to the getting-off white list of the stop points within the movable distance specified by the boarding ticket (ticket information). When based on the condition 2-3, the list creating unit 12 does not add each user to the getting-off white list at the stop point other than the movable distance specified by the boarding ticket (ticket information). Condition 2-3 can be applied to a distance designation ticket or the like.

“Condition 2-4: Create a getting-off white list limited to users who get on, and delete those getting off from the getting-off white list”
The list creation unit 12 adds the boarded user to the getting-off white list. That is, each user is added to the getting-off white list according to the boarding. And the list creation part 12 deletes the user who got off from the getting-off white list. That is, each user is deleted from the getting-off white list according to the getting-off. When the condition 2-4 is satisfied, the list creation unit 12 does not add a user who has not boarded to the getting-off white list. In addition, the list creation unit 12 does not delete a user who has not got off after getting on from the getting-off white list.

The list creation unit 12 determines a user to be added to the getting-off white list at each stop based on one of the above-described conditions 2-1 to 2-4 or a condition obtained by combining a plurality of the conditions with a predetermined logical expression. be able to.

The transmission unit 13 transmits the biometric information of the user included in the getting-off white list corresponding to each stop point to each stop point system (stop point system 20). The stop point system 20 stores the received biometric information of the user as a getting-off white list.

The getting-off white list stored in the stop point system 20 and the getting-off white list managed by the management device 10 are periodically synchronized so that the users included in the list match. The synchronization processing is executed in such a manner that the getting-off white list stored in the stopping point system 20 is matched with the getting-off white list of each stopping point managed by the management device 10. The synchronization process may be performed periodically at relatively short time intervals, or may be performed each time the getting-off white list at each stop point managed by the management device 10 is updated.

The stop point system 20 includes biometric information (referred to as “target biometric information”) acquired from a user at a stop point, that is, a user who is about to get off (eg, a ticket gate, a user who is going through a gate), and a management device The authentication process is performed based on the biometric information acquired from 10 (referred to as “registered biometric information”). Acquisition of biometric information is realized through an input device such as a camera, a fingerprint sensor, or a microphone. Here, the relationship between the registered biometric information and the getting-off white list in the present embodiment is “registered bio-information is the user's bio-information included in the getting-off white list”.

And the stop point system 20 manages whether the user can get off based on the result of the authentication process. That is, when the target biometric information matches any registered biometric information, the stop point system 20 permits the user to get off. On the other hand, when the target biometric information does not match any registered biometric information, the stop point system 20 does not allow the user to get off.

The process for permitting disembarkation and the process for disallowing disembarkation are design matters. For example, when disembarking is not permitted, the stop point system 20 may perform a warning output via an arbitrary output device (eg, lamp, speaker, display, etc.), or may close the gate. On the other hand, when permitting alighting, the stop point system 20 may perform output when permitting alighting via any output device (eg, lamp, speaker, display, etc.), or may open a gate. Good.

Other functional configurations of the management device 10 and the stop point system 20 are the same as those in the first embodiment.

According to the management system of the present embodiment described above, the same operational effects as those of the first embodiment can be realized.

Moreover, according to the management system of this embodiment, the getting-off white list which narrowed down the user for every stop point is created, and each stop is made using the user's biometric information (registered bio-information) included in the getting-off white list. Verification processing at a point can be performed. For this reason, the amount of registered biometric information used for the verification process at each stop point can be suppressed. Moreover, the data amount transmitted from the management apparatus 10 to each stop point system 20 can be suppressed.

Further, according to the management system of the present embodiment, it is possible to narrow down the users included in the getting-off white list for each stop point based on characteristic conditions (conditions 2-1 to 2-4 described above). . By appropriately narrowing down according to the characteristic conditions, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of inconvenience such as refusing to get off by the user having the authority to get off.

<Application example>
An application example of the management system of the first embodiment and the second embodiment will be described.

"Application example 1"
Application example 1 will be described using the flow of FIG. First, the user registers an account with the mobile application (S101). In response to this, the management apparatus 10 generates a user account and registers it in the management information (see FIG. 4) (S102). Note that the user may further register payment means (S103). In this case, the management apparatus 10 registers payment means in association with each user (S102). Then, the management apparatus 10 cooperates with the settlement company system based on the registered information (S104).

Thereafter, the user performs an operation of purchasing a predetermined ticket using the mobile application (S105). In response to this, the management apparatus 10 registers ticket information (see FIG. 4) in association with the user (S106), and performs a ticket payment process in cooperation with the settlement company system (S107). The order of the processes in S106 and S107 may be reversed.

In this case, it is assumed that the user has purchased a period zone ticket. The boarding ticket requires an activation operation.

Thereafter, the user performs an activation operation on the ticket purchased with the mobile application (S108). Then, the management apparatus 10 activates the boarding ticket (S109). And the management apparatus 10 updates a boarding white list according to this (S110). Specifically, the user having the boarding ticket activated in S109 is added to the boarding white list of all the stop points in the zone. In addition, the said user will be included in the boarding white list | wrist of all the stop points in a zone only for an effective period.

In S111, based on the information transmitted from the management device 10 to the stop point system 20, the contents of the boarding white list stored in the stop point system 20 and the boarding white list managed by the management device 10 are synchronized. . In the figure, the synchronization process of S111 is performed according to the update of the boarding white list in S110, but the synchronization process of S111 may be performed at a timing unrelated to the update of the boarding white list of S110. For example, the synchronization processing in S111 may be performed periodically at a relatively short time interval.

Then, when the user goes to a stop where the user can board with the purchased and activated ticket (S112), the camera connected to the field device (eg, ticket gate, gate) captures the user's face. And the stop point system 20 performs an authentication process based on the image | photographed image and the user's biometric information included in the boarding white list (S113).

When authenticated, that is, when the boarding is permitted, the stop point system 20 may perform the output when the boarding is permitted through an arbitrary output device (eg, lamp, speaker, display, etc.), or the gate. You may open it. In response, the user gets on (S114).

Here, a modification of Application Example 1 will be described. In the above description, an example has been described in which a user purchases a period zone ticket and the management apparatus 10 adds the user to the boarding white list of all stop points in the zone. In a variation, the user may purchase other tickets. Then, for example, the management apparatus 10 may add the user to the boarding white list at a predetermined stop point based on one or a combination of the conditions 1-2 to 1-4.

"Application example 2"
Application example 2 will be described using the flow of FIG. First, the user registers an account with the mobile application (S301). In response to this, the management apparatus 10 generates a user account and registers it in the management information (see FIG. 4) (S302). Note that the user may further register payment means (S303). In this case, the management apparatus 10 registers payment means in association with each user (S302). Then, the management apparatus 10 cooperates with the settlement company system based on the registered information (S304).

Thereafter, the user performs an operation of purchasing a predetermined ticket using the mobile application (S305). In response to this, the management apparatus 10 registers ticket information (see FIG. 4) in association with the user (S306), and performs a ticket payment process in cooperation with the settlement company system (S307). The order of the processes in S306 and S307 may be reversed.

Here, it is assumed that the user has purchased a boarding point designation ticket or a distance designation ticket. The boarding ticket requires an activation operation.

Thereafter, the user performs an activation operation on the ticket purchased with the mobile application (S308). Then, the management apparatus 10 activates the boarding ticket (S309). And the management apparatus 10 updates a boarding white list according to this (S310). Specifically, the user having the ticket activated in S309 is added to the boarding white list at a predetermined stop point. For example, the user is added to the boarding white list at a predetermined stop point based on one or a combination of the conditions 1-2 to 1-4.

In S311, based on the information transmitted from the management device 10 to the stop point system 20, the contents of the boarding white list stored in the stop point system 20 and the boarding white list managed by the management device 10 are synchronized. . In the figure, the synchronization process of S311 is performed according to the update of the boarding white list in S310, but the synchronization process of S311 may be performed at a timing unrelated to the update of the boarding white list of S310. For example, the synchronization processing in S311 may be performed periodically at a relatively short time interval.

Thereafter, when the user goes to a stop where the user can board with the purchased and activated ticket (S312), the camera connected to the field device (eg, gate) captures the user's face. And the stop point system 20 performs an authentication process based on the image | photographed image and the user's biometric information included in a boarding white list (S313).

When authenticated, that is, when the boarding is permitted, the stop point system 20 may perform the output when the boarding is permitted through an arbitrary output device (eg, lamp, speaker, display, etc.), or the gate. You may open it. In response to this, the user gets on (S314).

In addition, when authenticated, the stop point system 20 transmits information indicating boarding by the user to the management device 10. The stop point system 20 may further transmit information indicating the boarding point to the management device 10. The management device 10 updates the getting-off white list based on the information received from the stop point system 20 (S315). For example, based on one or a combination of the conditions 2-1 to 2-4, the user is added to the getting-off white list at a predetermined stop point.

In S316, based on the information transmitted from the management device 10 to the stop point system 20, the contents of the disembarkation white list stored in the stop point system 20 and the disembarkation white list managed by the management device 10 are synchronized. . In the figure, the synchronization process of S316 is performed according to the update of the getting-off white list in S315, but the synchronization process of S316 may be performed at a timing unrelated to the update of the getting-off white list of S315. For example, the synchronization process in S316 may be performed periodically at a relatively short time interval.

Then, when the user goes to the getting-off point (S317), the camera connected to the field device (eg, gate) captures the user's face. And the stop point system 20 performs an authentication process based on the image | photographed image and the user's biometric information included in the getting-off white list (S318).

When authenticated, that is, when getting off is permitted, the stop point system 20 may perform output when permitting getting off via an arbitrary output device (eg, lamp, speaker, display, etc.) You may open it. In response to this, the user gets off (S319).
