And the unregistered (vacant) area of ID storage area 14a is confirmed by lighting or blinking of the locking display part 16a and the unlocking display part 16b. At this time, if there is an unregistered (empty) area in the ID storage area 14a, the lock display unit 16a and the unlock display unit 16b flash in a predetermined color corresponding to the highest address of the unregistered (empty) area. Is done. If there is no unregistered (empty) area in the ID storage area 14a, the lock display unit 16a is "lit" with "green", and the unlock display unit 16b is "off". Then, after confirming that there is an unregistered (empty) area in the ID storage area 14a, the unlock button 11b is released once, and the unlock button 11b is pressed once again to switch the address, and the password information (ID) After selecting any unregistered (empty) area for registering, the lock button 11a is pressed once to determine the unregistered (empty) area. Thereafter, the non-contact medium 4 to be newly registered is brought close to the communicable area of the receiver 2 within a predetermined time. As a result, the password information (ID) of the non-contact medium 4 is registered in the unregistered (empty) area selected and determined.

  When the individual registration of the personal identification information (ID) is subsequently performed, the unlock button 11b is pressed again to select an arbitrary unregistered (empty) area, and the lock button 11a is used for determination. The contact medium 4 is brought close to the communicable area of the receiver 2 within a predetermined time. As a result, the password information (ID) of the non-contact medium 4 is registered in the unregistered (empty) area selected and determined. When a predetermined time elapses after individual registration of desired personal identification information (ID), the registration / deletion mode is automatically canceled and the normal operation locking / unlocking mode is restored. Thereafter, the changeover switch of the mode switching unit 12 is switched from ON to OFF, and the lid member 42 is attached and fixed by the fixing unit 43.

  Next, an example of the operation when the operation unit 11 is operated to delete the personal identification information (ID) will be specifically described.

(Deleting all password information (ID))
The procedure from “unlocking / opening the electric lock” to “confirming the state of the ID storage area 14a of the storage unit 14” in the above-described operation (continuous registration of the personal identification information (ID)) is similarly performed. When the unlock button 11b is released and the switch of the mode switching unit 12 is switched from ON to OFF within a predetermined time, all the password information (ID) stored in the ID storage area 14a of the storage unit 14 is deleted. The When a predetermined time elapses after the personal identification information (ID) is completely deleted, the registration / erasure mode is automatically canceled and the normal operation locking / unlocking mode is restored. Thereafter, the lid member 42 is attached and fixed by the fixing means 43.

(Personal deletion of personal identification information (ID))
The procedure from “unlocking / opening the electric lock” to “confirming the state of the ID storage area 14a of the storage unit 14” in the above-described operation (continuous registration of the personal identification information (ID)) is similarly performed. Then, once the unlock button 11b is released, the unlock button 11b is pressed once again to select any registered area in which password information (ID) to be deleted is registered. When the lock button 11a is pressed once with the registered area selected, the password information (ID) in the registered area is deleted.

  Then, when individually deleting the personal identification information (ID), the user presses the unlock button 11b again to select any registered area in which the personal identification information (ID) to be deleted is registered and press the locking button 11a. When pressed once, the password information (ID) in the registered area is deleted. When a predetermined time elapses after individual deletion of the desired personal identification information (ID), the registration / deletion mode is automatically canceled and the normal operation locking / unlocking mode is restored. Thereafter, the changeover switch of the mode switching unit 12 is switched from ON to OFF, and the lid member 42 is attached and fixed by the fixing unit 43.

  As described above, according to the receiver 2 of this example, the registration status of the personal identification information (ID) can be easily confirmed by the identification display using the operation means 11 and the display means 16 used in the normal operation locking / unlocking mode. can do. In addition, since it is not necessary to equip a separate dedicated mechanism and parts for confirming the registration status of the personal identification information (ID), restrictions on design, cost, and installation space can be reduced. Further, since the configuration used in the normal operation locking / unlocking mode can be used as it is, the operability for the user is improved and the usability is improved as compared with the conventional case.

  Furthermore, when registering or deleting the personal identification information (ID), the current registration status of the personal identification information (ID) is confirmed by turning on or blinking the first display unit 16a or the second display unit 16b of the display means 16. In addition, it can be realized by an extremely simple operation by simply operating the operation means 11 and the mode switching means 12.

  In particular, in the password registration (ID) continuous registration work, the lock display portion 16a and the unlock display portion 16b are blinked in a predetermined color corresponding to the first address of the unregistered (empty) area, and the password information ( When the registration of the (ID) in the unregistered (free) area is completed, the display by the lock display unit 16a and the unlock display unit 16b is automatically switched to the address of the next unregistered (free) area. The password information (ID) can be sequentially registered in an unregistered (empty) area without bothering the user.

  Further, the mode switching means 12 is constituted by a change-over switch fixed to the side face 41a of the door 41 facing the door frame when the door is closed, and this change-over switch is protected by the lid member 42, and the password information (ID) is newly When performing registration or deletion, the lid member 42 is removed only when the lock is unlocked and the door is opened, and the registration / deletion mode can be switched by operating the changeover switch. Thereby, it is possible to provide a receiver with excellent security that prevents inadvertent registration or deletion of personal identification information (ID) due to an erroneous operation.

  The receiver 2 of this example includes an unlocking / unlocking operation function, an unlocking / unlocking state, including a function for newly registering / deleting the personal identification information (ID) in addition to the original function of receiving the information of the non-contact medium 4. Since it also has a display function, the information of the non-contact medium 4 in the communicable area is read in a non-contact manner to determine the legitimacy of the information, and the operation means 11 is operated after the information is normally authenticated. The lock can be easily locked and unlocked by a series of flows.

  This eliminates the need for a dedicated mechanism or equipment that is different from conventional receivers, and integrates operation indicators and receivers that have been configured separately to simplify the configuration and use them. The user-friendliness can be improved and an electric lock system can be constructed. In addition, by eliminating the need for dedicated mechanisms and devices, costs can be reduced, and there are no restrictions on the space for installing these dedicated mechanisms and devices, so that the design can be improved.
