Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect a fact that a person who has entered the identification information of an ID card such as data and a password is not a registered person. <P>SOLUTION: An admittance approval system can automatically determine whether or not a face image of the person who entered the identification information is a registered person whenever the identification information is entered into a face image comparison section 11. Thus, upon comparing with a method in which an administrator collectively checks those persons later, the system can detect in a short period that the person entering the identification information is not the registered person. When determined that the face image of the person entering the identification information is not that of the registered person, an e-mail for determining whether or not the determined results are proper is transmitted from an e-mail transmitting and receiving section 13. Therefore, even though a malicious third party steals the identification information of the registered person and poses as the registered person by using the stolen identification information, the fact that the malicious third party is a non-registered person can be detected in a short period. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

  In the present invention, when unique information associated with each registrant is entered by ID card data, password, or the like, the person who entered the unique information is an unauthorized visitor based on the entered unique information. It is related with the admission permission system which enabled it to determine whether it is.

  Conventionally, as this type of technology, when an ID card is inserted into a card reader, the data of the inserted ID card is read, and the read data is compared with pre-registered built-in data, There is an entrance / exit management device that identifies a person who has inserted an ID card. And this entrance / exit management device determines whether or not the specified person has admission qualification, and if it has admission qualification, it allows admission to the building and can identify the admission person later. Thus, the data of the ID card is stored (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

In addition, even if there is an unauthorized visitor in this Patent Document 1 who steals another person's ID card and password and uses the stolen ID card and password to enter, the visitor is surely identified later. A technique for capturing the face images of all the visitors is disclosed.

An entry permission system that identifies an input person and permits entry of the person who has input the unique information into a building or a predetermined area in the building, and that captures a face image of the person who has input the specific information Determining means for determining whether or not the captured face image belongs to the registrant corresponding to the unique information, and the determination means determines that the face image does not belong to the registrant. In this case, a transmission means for notifying the contact person of the registrant corresponding to the specific information of the fact and the captured face image, and a reply as to whether or not the admission is unauthorized from the contact person receiving the notification Receiving means It is characterized in.

In the admission permission system according to the second invention, the unique information includes at least one of ID card data and a password.
According to the first and second aspects of the invention, the determination means sequentially determines whether or not the face image of the person who has input the unique information belongs to the registrant. Compared with the method of making it, it can detect in a short time that the person who input specific information is not a registrant. In addition, since the registrant can check whether he / she is an unauthorized visitor by looking at the face image, even if the registrant cannot enter by himself / herself, he / she can enter the agent by the sent face image. After confirming that there is, it is possible to reply that it is not an unauthorized visitor.

In addition, in the admission permission system according to the third aspect of the present invention, when the transmission means determines that the face image is not that of the registrant by the determination means, the transmission means displays the fact and the captured face image as an administrator. Is also notified.
According to the third aspect of the present invention, the administrator can be informed that there is a possibility that a reply indicating whether or not he / she is an unauthorized visitor will be sent after a certain period of time. The administrator can be made to act quickly when there is a reply.

Furthermore, the admission permission system according to a fourth aspect of the invention is characterized in that, when the reply from the contact address notified within the predetermined time is not received by the receiving means, the transmitting means notifies the administrator to that effect. And
According to the fourth aspect of the invention, for example, when the registrant who has received the notification cannot reply, the administrator can confirm whether or not the person who has input the unique information is a registrant.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of an admission permission system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
<Configuration of admission permission system>
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of an admission permission system according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the admission permission system 1 includes an ID card / password input device 2, a face image photographing device 3, an entrance electric lock 4, a building server 5, a building manager terminal 6, and a registrant terminal. 7, and the components other than the ID card / password input device 2, the face image photographing device 3, and the entrance electric lock 4 are connected to each other via the Internet 8 so that data communication is possible.

  Among these, the ID card / password input device 2 is provided at the entrance of the building and includes an ID card reading unit, an information display unit, and a password input unit. When the ID card is inserted, the ID card / password input device 2 causes the ID card reading unit to read the data of the inserted ID card and also displays a message prompting the user to input the password. To display. At that time, the ID card / password input device 2 outputs a command for photographing a user's face image (hereinafter also referred to as “face image photographing command”) to the face image photographing device 3. Thereafter, the ID card / password input device 2 causes the password input unit to read the password data input by the user, and then sets a set of data (hereinafter referred to as “set”) including the ID card data and the password data. Data ”) is output to the building server 5.

  The face image photographing device 3 is provided adjacent to the password input unit of the ID card / password input device 2 and includes a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. Then, when a photographing command is output from the ID card / password input device 2, the face image photographing device 3 photographs the face image of the user who is operating the password input unit, and data of the photographed face image is obtained. (Hereinafter also referred to as “face image data”) is output to the building server 5.

Further, the entrance electric lock 4 is provided at the entrance door of the building. When the unlocking command (described later) is output from the building server 5, the entrance electric lock 4 unlocks the door key for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds), and then immediately locks it.
The building server 5 is installed in the building. The building server 5 includes an ID card / password verification unit 9, an ID card / password database 10, a face image verification unit 11, a face image database 12, an electronic mail transmission / reception unit 13, and an electronic A mail database 14 is provided.

  When the set data is output from the ID card / password input device 2, the ID card / password verification unit 9 determines whether or not the same data as the output set data is registered in the ID card / password database 9 in advance. If it is registered, a command to unlock the door key of the building (hereinafter also referred to as “unlock command”) is output to the entrance electric lock 4. If the same data is not registered, a message notifying that the ID card or password is wrong is displayed on the information display section of the ID card / password input device 2.

Further, the ID card / password database 10 is composed of a storage device such as a hard disk, and sets data of a plurality of registrants permitted to enter (for example, employees of a company occupying a building) are registered respectively. Yes.
Further, when the set data is output from the ID card / password input device 2, the face image collation unit 11 reads the face image data of the registrant corresponding to the output set data from the face image database 12. Then, the face image collating unit 11 determines (collates) whether or not the person of the read face image data matches the person of the face image data output from the face image photographing device 3, and does not match In this case, a command for causing the registrant to send an e-mail (hereinafter also referred to as an “e-mail sending command”) is output to the e-mail transmitting / receiving unit 13.

The face image database 12 is configured by a storage device such as a hard disk, and the face image data of each registrant is registered in association with the set data of a plurality of registrants.
When the e-mail transmission command is output from the face image matching unit 11, the e-mail transmission / reception unit 13 sets the e-mail address of the registrant corresponding to the set data output from the ID card / password input device 2 as e-mail. Read from database 14. Then, the e-mail transmission / reception unit 13 informs the read e-mail address that the face image data photographed by the face image photographing device 3 does not match the face image data of the registrant. A message, a message that prompts a user to return an e-mail within a predetermined time (for example, 30 minutes), and an e-mail that includes the time when the entrance electric lock 4 is unlocked are transmitted. Thereafter, when an e-mail including a message notifying that the face image data is not the registrant is returned from the e-mail address of the registrant, the e-mail transmission / reception unit 13 sends a message notifying that effect and the face image photographing device. The e-mail including the face image data photographed in 3 is transmitted to the e-mail address of a building manager (for example, a security guard of a security company that guards the building). The e-mail transmitting / receiving unit 13 shifts to a standby state when an e-mail including a message notifying that the face image data is the registrant is returned.

  On the other hand, if the e-mail is not replied from the e-mail address of the registrant even after a predetermined time has passed since the e-mail transmission / reception unit 13 sent the e-mail to the registrant's e-mail address, The e-mail address does not return an e-mail from the face image data photographed by the face image photographing device 3, a message notifying that the face image data does not match the face image data of the registrant, and the registrant's e-mail address. An e-mail including a message informing the user and the time when the electric lock 4 for entrance is unlocked is transmitted.

The building manager terminal 6 is installed in a building manager's company and is composed of a personal computer. When the building manager terminal 6 receives the e-mail transmitted from the building server 5, the building manager terminal 6 displays the message and face image data included in the received e-mail on the display.
Further, the registrant terminal 7 is installed in a building and is constituted by a personal computer. When the registrant terminal 7 receives the e-mail transmitted from the building server 5, the registrant terminal 7 displays the message and face image data included in the received e-mail on the display. Also, the registrant terminal 7 sends a message notifying that the face image data is not the registrant, or a message notifying that the face image data is the registrant to the e-mail transmitted from the building server 5. It is configured to be able to reply to e-mails that contain it.
<Operation of admission permission system>
Next, the operation of the admission permission system according to the present invention will be described based on a specific situation.

  First, in order for a malicious third party to illegally enter a building, the ID card and password of a company employee (registrant) occupying the building are stolen, and the stolen ID card is used as an ID card / password input device. 2 is inserted. Then, the ID card / password input device 2 reads the data of the inserted ID card into the ID card reading unit, a message prompting the input of the password is displayed on the information display unit, and a face image photographing command is output. The

  Here, it is assumed that a malicious third party inputs a password from the password input unit in accordance with the message displayed on the information display unit. Then, the password data is read by the password input unit, and set data including these data is output to the building server 5. At the same time, the face image capturing device 3 captures a face image of a malicious third party operating the password input unit, and the face image data corresponding to the face image is output to the building server 5.

In the building server 5, the ID card / password verification unit 9 determines that the same data as the set data output from the ID card / password input device 2 is registered in the ID card / password database 9. The unlocking command is output to the entrance electric lock 4. The entrance door lock is unlocked by the entrance electric lock 4.
Further, the face image collating unit 11 reads the face image data of the registrant corresponding to the set data output from the ID card / password input device 2 from the face image database 12. Here, it is assumed that the face image collation unit 11 determines that the person of the read face image data does not match the person of the face image data output from the face image photographing device 3. Then, an e-mail transmission command is output to the e-mail transmission / reception unit 13.

  Further, the e-mail transmission / reception unit 13 reads the e-mail address of the registrant corresponding to the set data output from the ID card / password input device 2 from the e-mail database 14. Then, the e-mail transmitting / receiving unit 13 notifies the read e-mail address that the face image data photographed by the face image photographing device 3 and that the face image data does not match the face image data of the registrant. A message, a message prompting to return an e-mail within a predetermined time, and an e-mail including a time when the entrance electric lock 4 is unlocked are transmitted. Then, the e-mail transmitted from the building server 5 is received by the registrant terminal 7, and the message and face image data included in the received e-mail are displayed on the display.

Here, it is assumed that a registrant who has seen a message or a face photograph notices that the ID card or password has been stolen, and returns an e-mail containing a message notifying that the face image data is not the registrant himself. Then, the e-mail transmission / reception unit 13 transmits an e-mail including a message to that effect to the e-mail address of the building manager.
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the building server 5 sequentially determines whether or not the face image of a person who has input unique information such as ID card data or a password belongs to a registrant. Compared with the method in which the administrator confirms the information collectively later, it can be detected in a short time that the person who has input the unique information is not a registrant. Further, when it is determined that the face image of the person who has input the unique information is not of the registrant, whether the determination result is correct, that is, whether the person who has input the specific information is the registrant, The registrant himself was confirmed by sending an e-mail to the registrant corresponding to the specific information. For this reason, even if there is a malicious third party who steals the registrant's unique information and impersonates the registrant using the stolen unique information, it can quickly detect that the malicious third party is not a registrant. Can do.

In addition, by sending back the received e-mail to the registrant, the administrator is notified that the person who entered the specific information is not a registrant. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the labor and time of the registrant required for notification, compared to a method of notifying the administrator directly to that effect. In the present embodiment, the example in which the administrator is notified by replying to the e-mail transmitted from the building server 5 has been described. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this example. You may send an e-mail or call the administrator's contact information.

  Furthermore, when specific information associated with each registrant is input, the person who has input the specific information is allowed to enter the building. Therefore, even if the building server 5 determines that the face image of the person who has entered the unique information is not that of the registrant, if the entered unique information is correct, the person who has entered the unique information must enter the building. Can do. As a result, for example, when it is determined that the face image of the person who has input the unique information is not that of the registrant, it is erroneously determined that it is not that of the registrant, unlike the method of restricting the person's entrance. In addition, it is possible to prevent the inconvenience that entry of the registrant is restricted.

  On the other hand, it is assumed that the registrant cannot reply to the received e-mail, and a certain time has passed since the e-mail was transmitted to the registrant's e-mail address. Then, the e-mail transmission / reception unit 13 performs e-mail from the face image data photographed by the face image photographing device 3, a message informing that the face image data and the registrant's face image data do not match, and the registrant's e-mail address An e-mail including a message notifying that the e-mail is not returned and the time when the entrance electric lock 4 is unlocked is transmitted. The building manager's terminal 6 receives the e-mail transmitted from the building server 5 and displays the message and face image data included in the received e-mail on the display.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, when the registrant cannot reply to the received e-mail, the administrator is made to confirm whether or not the person who has input the unique information is a registrant. Therefore, for example, even if there is a malicious third party who steals the registrant's unique information and impersonates the registrant using the stolen unique information, it is sufficiently short that the malicious third party is not a registrant. Can be detected in time. Examples of the confirmation method include a method of visually comparing the face image data registered in the face image database 12 and a method of calling a predetermined contact address of the registrant himself.

1 and 2 constitutes the imaging means described in the claims. Similarly, the building server 5 in FIGS. 1 and 2 and the face image matching unit 11 in FIG. The building server 5 in FIGS. 1 and 2 and the electronic mail transmission / reception unit in FIG. 2 constitute the transmission means.
In addition, the admission permission system of the present invention is not limited to the contents of the above embodiment, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

For example, the registrant terminal 7 is configured by a personal computer, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a mobile phone having an e-mail transmission / reception function, that is, a mobile phone that can display a message and a face image included in the received e-mail on the display and can return a message including the message in the received e-mail You may do it.
In addition, when an e-mail is not replied from the e-mail address within a certain time after sending an e-mail to the e-mail address of the registrant corresponding to the specific information, the e-mail including the photographed face image is managed. Although an example of sending to an e-mail address of a person has been shown, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when an e-mail is transmitted to the registrant's e-mail address, the e-mail may also be transmitted to the administrator. That way, you can let the administrator know that an email may be sent after a certain amount of time, and let the administrator act quickly when such an email is sent. Can do.
