The wireless communication unit 6 of the autonomous mobile body 4 to which the business is assigned receives the business content from the management unit 16 by wireless communication. The wireless communication unit 6 outputs the received business content to the control unit 5. The autonomous moving body 4 executes a business according to the business content based on the control of the control unit 5. The autonomous moving body 4 stores, for example, ordered food and drink. The autonomous moving body 4 starts moving to the area where the client 8 is.

The linking unit 14 of the authentication device 10 accepts the linking request input from the management unit 16. The associating unit 14 associates the identification information "ID-B" of the client 8 with the identification information "ID-A" of the autonomous moving body 4 to which the work is assigned and stores it.

The autonomous moving body 4 hits a door on which the authentication device 10 and the electric lock 3 are provided in the middle of the moving route to the area where the client 8 is. In this example, the identification information "ID-A" of the autonomous moving body 4 is not registered as the identification information that can pass through the door. The autonomous mobile body 4 transmits an authentication request from the wireless communication unit 6 to the authentication device 10 by wireless communication.

The authentication unit 13 of the authentication device 10 receives the authentication request. The authentication unit 13 inquires the storage unit 12 of the storage device 9 for authority information. For example, the authentication unit 13 first inquires whether the identification information "ID-A" of the autonomous mobile body 4 included in the authentication request can be authenticated. The storage unit 12 does not reply to the authentication unit 13 whether it is passable or not based on the access permission information stored in association with the identification information "ID-A". Next, the authentication unit 13 inquires the linking unit 14 of the authority information associated with the identification information "ID-A" of the autonomous mobile body 4. The associating unit 14 associates the identification information "ID-A" of the autonomous moving body 4 with the identification information "ID-B" of the client 8. The associating unit 14 outputs "ID-B" to the authentication unit 13 as the identification information associated with the identification information "ID-A". The authentication unit 13 inquires whether the input identification information "ID-A" can be authenticated. The storage unit 12 replies, for example, passability to the authentication unit 13 based on the access permission information stored in association with the identification information "ID-B". The authentication unit 13 authenticates the autonomous mobile body 4 based on the answer from the storage unit 12. The authentication unit 13 outputs a signal indicating that authentication is possible to the electric lock 3.

In this example, the identification information "ID-A" of the autonomous moving body 4 is not registered as the identification information that can use the elevator 2. The autonomous mobile body 4 transmits an authentication request from the wireless communication unit 6 to the authentication device 10 by wireless communication.

The authentication unit 13 of the authentication device 10 receives the authentication request. Similar to the authentication in the electric lock 3, the authentication unit 13 is an autonomous moving body based on the identification information "ID-B" of the client 8 associated with the identification information "ID-A" of the autonomous moving body 4. Authenticate 4. The authentication unit 13 outputs a signal indicating that authentication is possible to the elevator 2.

Elevator 2 registers the landing call based on the signal from the authentication unit 13. Here, the authentication request may include information on the destination floor. At this time, the elevator 2 may register a landing call that specifies the destination floor.

The autonomous moving body 4 moves to the floor where the client 8 is located by using the elevator 2. After that, the autonomous moving body 4 reaches the area where the client 8 is located. The autonomous mobile device delivers the stored food and drink to the client 8. After that, the autonomous mobile device returns to its original position by a movement route in the reverse order of the outward route. After returning to the original position, the wireless communication unit 6 of the autonomous mobile device transmits a report indicating the completion of the work to the management unit 16 of the management device 11.

The linking unit 14 of the authentication device 10 accepts the linking release request input from the management unit 16. The linking unit 14 releases the linking of the identification information "ID-B" of the client 8 to the identification information "ID-A" of the autonomous moving body 4.

Here, even if the autonomous moving body 4 sends an authentication request to the authentication device 10 after the association is released, the association unit 14 provides the authentication unit 13 with the identification information of the client 8 of the already completed work. do not do. Therefore, the autonomous mobile body 4 is not authenticated by the authority information of the client 8 of the business that has already been completed.

The autonomous mobile body 4 may send a report of business suspension to the management unit 16 when it is determined that the business cannot be continued due to, for example, a failure or an authentication failure. At this time, the management unit 16 that receives the report outputs the association release request to the association unit 14. After that, the management unit 16 may reassign the canceled work to the other autonomous mobile body 4. The authentication failure is, for example, a timeout in which an authentication-enabled answer cannot be obtained from the authentication device 10 within a preset time.

As described above, the entry / exit management system 1 according to the first embodiment includes a reception unit 15, a linking unit 14, an authentication unit 13, and a management unit 16. The reception unit 15 receives a business request from the requester to the autonomous mobile body 4. The autonomous mobile body 4 is a device that executes the received business content. The associating unit 14 associates the authority information with the identification information and stores it. When the authentication unit 13 receives an authentication request including the identification information, the authentication unit 13 authenticates based on the authority information stored in association with the identification information. When the reception unit 15 receives the business request, the management unit 16 transmits the business content to the autonomous moving body 4 and outputs the association request to the association unit 14. The business request includes the business content and the authority information of the requester. The business content requires certification by the certification unit 13. The associating request is a request for associating the authority information of the requesting source with the identification information of the autonomous moving body 4 and storing it.
Further, the management device 11 according to the first embodiment includes a reception unit 15 and a management unit 16. The reception unit 15 receives a business request from the requester to the autonomous mobile body 4. The autonomous mobile body 4 is a device that executes the received business content. The associating unit 14 associates the authority information with the identification information and stores it. When the reception unit 15 receives the business request, the management unit 16 transmits the business content to the autonomous moving body 4 and outputs the association request to the association unit 14. The business request includes the business content and the authority information of the requester. The business content requires certification by the certification unit 13. When the authentication unit 13 receives an authentication request including the identification information, the authentication unit 13 authenticates based on the authority information stored in association with the identification information. The associating request is a request for associating the authority information of the requesting source with the identification information of the autonomous moving body 4 and storing it.

The management device 11 of the entry / exit management system 1 separates the business content and the authority information included in the business request and outputs them to different devices. That is, the authority information is not transmitted to the autonomous moving body 4 that executes the business content. Since the authority information is not transmitted, the diversion of the authority information is prevented. Therefore, the deterioration of the security of the area where entry / exit is managed can be suppressed. Further, the autonomous mobile body 4 can be authenticated with the authority of the requester by transmitting an authentication request with its own identification information. Therefore, the movement of the autonomous moving body 4 including the area where entry / exit is controlled becomes smooth.

In addition, the reception unit 15 accepts business requests that include the identification information of the requester as authority information.

The autonomous mobile body 4 can access the area where access is permitted to the requester while executing the business. As a result, the requester can request the work without determining the range of authority granted to the autonomous moving body 4. Further, the autonomous moving body 4 cannot access an area where access is not permitted to the requesting source, in addition to the scope of authority of the autonomous moving body 4 itself. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the autonomous moving body 4 from illegally accessing the area where the requesting source is not permitted. As a result, the deterioration of the security of the area where entry / exit management is performed can be suppressed.

Further, when the completion report or the cancellation report of the work of the autonomous mobile body 4 is input, the management unit 16 requests the unlinkage to cancel the linking of the authority information associated with the autonomous mobile body 4. Output to the tying unit 14.

The autonomous mobile body 4 cannot access an area beyond the range of authority of the autonomous mobile body 4 itself when the business is not executed. That is, it is prevented that the autonomous moving body 4 continues to hold the authority illegally. As a result, the deterioration of the security of the area where entry / exit management is performed can be suppressed.

Further, the entrance / exit management system 1 includes an electric lock 3. The electric lock 3 is unlocked by the authentication by the authentication unit 13.
Further, the entrance / exit management system 1 includes an elevator 2. In the elevator 2, the call is registered by the authentication by the authentication unit 13.

As a result, the autonomous mobile body 4 can execute the business using the same route as the client 8. Therefore, the movement of the autonomous moving body 4 including the area where entry / exit is controlled becomes smooth.

Note that the reception unit 15 may accept a business request including access permission information representing an area where access is permitted as authority information.

The autonomous mobile body 4 can access the area represented by the access permission information while executing the business. The requester can request the work by designating the range of authority granted to the autonomous moving body 4 according to the nature of the work. Further, the access permission information itself is not transmitted to the autonomous moving body 4. Therefore, the diversion of the access permission information is prevented. The access permission information that can be specified by the requester may be limited to a range that does not exceed the access to the area that the requester can access. At this time, it is possible to prevent the autonomous moving body 4 from illegally accessing the area where the requesting source is not permitted. As a result, the deterioration of the security of the area where entry / exit management is performed can be suppressed.

Further, the entry / exit management system 1 may include one or a plurality of autonomous mobile bodies 4.

Further, the management device 11 may include a tying portion 14. At this time, the authentication unit 13 of the authentication device 10 inquires the linking unit 14 of the management device 11 for the information associated with the identification information included in the authentication request. The management device 11 may include a storage unit 12. At this time, the authentication unit 13 of the authentication device 10 inquires the storage unit 12 of the management device 11 for the authority information. The authentication device 10 may include a storage unit 12. At this time, the authentication unit 13 of the authentication device 10 inquires the storage unit 12 of the authentication device 10 for the authority information. A part or all of the storage unit 12, the authentication unit 13, the linking unit 14, the reception unit 15, and the management unit 16 may be provided in one piece of hardware. A part or all of the storage unit 12, the authentication unit 13, the linking unit 14, the reception unit 15, and the management unit 16 may be provided in individual hardware.

Further, the authentication unit 13 does not have to authenticate the specific area set in advance by the associated authority information. That is, in the entry / exit management system 1, an area that does not allow proxy authentication based on the associated authority information may be set. As a result, the deterioration of the security of the area is further suppressed.
