An increasing number of scenes use recording and storage data of a medium on which a chip is mounted.

  For example, when paying for a fare when riding a vehicle or when making a purchase at a vending machine inside or outside a store, it is preferable because of the advantage that it can be settled without giving cash to the consumer. However, this convenience is the same for the locking of fixtures such as residences and offices. In recent years, the number of electric locks using mobile phones equipped with IC cards or IC chips as a key has been increasing. is there.

  When using an IC chip mounting medium as a key for an electric lock attached to a building such as a residence or office, it is common for the owner or administrator of the building to issue the IC chip mounting medium for a specific customer. However, in addition to the above electronic money, the user will hold another IC chip-mounted medium, and the workplace where he / she works and the school where he / she goes to school will use the IC chip-mounted medium as a key. If a lock system is installed, the number of IC chip-mounted media that will be retained increases, which increases the convenience and economic burden for users. In particular, if there is an ID card issued by the organization to which the user belongs, or an employee card, student card, or membership card that uses an IC chip, the number of IC chip-mounted media such as IC cards that are always held increases. become.

Since the technical production specifications of media are generally unified to some specifications with international indicators, users can use their homes, offices, etc. with non-contact IC chip mounted electronic locks. It is possible to use an IC chip mounting medium issued by a business entity other than the owner or manager of the building instead of the IC chip mounting medium key issued by the owner or manager of the building. Accordingly, the user can reduce the number of possessed sheets by selecting one of the IC chip mounting media that had to be possessed for each purpose.

  When an electronic card with a non-contact IC chip mounting medium such as a residence or office is used as an IC card issued by another person or a mobile phone equipped with an IC chip, an IC issued by another company from the manager or user of the building When receiving a registration application for using the chip-mounted medium as a key, it is necessary to always write the ID of the IC chip-mounted medium in the storage device of the electronic lock. On the contrary, even if the IC chip mounting medium is lost, it is possible to prevent illegal intrusion itself by erasing the record of the shellfish electronic lock at all times.

  If the mobile phone with IC card or IC chip is used as a unique key for the residence or office, the administrator can perform entry / exit restrictions automatically and record the entry / exit history automatically. Therefore, in recent years when social problems and minor crimes related to housing frequently occur, it leads to enhancement of security measures for avoiding them in advance.

  There are systems that detect illegal intrusions such as houses and offices with sensors, etc., and issue alarms or notify the management center, but these have the purpose of preventing illegal intrusions, but either In other words, it can be considered that the element as a countermeasure after a trespass is stronger. Therefore, it can be said that preventing illegal intrusion itself is a social issue.

  As one of the measures for such a current problem, for example, a countermeasure as shown in Patent Document 1 has been taken.

This patent document 1 discloses a technical idea that, with respect to a card lock system, unlocking and / or locking of a lock is performed by comparing locking / unlocking information with registration information, and electric supply of an electric lock is performed only at that time. However, in the card lock system of Document 1, the key card is a unique key as in the prior art, and it takes time to cope with loss.

Also, the personal identification information registered as a key element in the ID management server is stored in the IC card via the reader / writer 72.

  The ID management server 6 registers the pair of the IC chip mounting medium IC number and the personal identification information sent from the registration terminal in the database 64 as one key. Then, the key is transmitted via the transmission / reception module 61 to the authentication management block 2 of the electronic lock system (FIG. 1B) via wireless or the like and stored. In addition, the log management module 62 receives the unlocking / locking history information sent from the electronic lock system via the transmission / reception module 61 and stores it in the database 64 in association with the information of each key.

  Identity verification information is information that is difficult to assume in cases other than the one held by the person, for example, biometric information such as fingerprints, hand vein patterns, and irises is desirable. For example, it may be a random number sequence or sound determined by itself, or a combination of a plurality of photographic images of pets reared by itself.

  The present invention can be applied to an existing building by providing a set of devices shown in FIG. 1B at the door and separately providing a certificate authority function such as the ID management server 6 and the registration terminal 7 shown in FIG. Is possible.

(Second embodiment)

  FIG. 3A is a conceptual diagram showing an outline of the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the basic configuration of the second embodiment is configured such that a master unit and a slave unit are communicably connected to each other. As shown in the figure, the master unit includes a communication unit, a communication control unit, a CPU that is an IC authentication infrastructure unit (U), a reader / writer (R / W) unit, a reader / writer (R / W) control unit, a battery, A power supply control unit is provided. As illustrated, the slave unit includes a communication unit, a communication control unit, a battery, a power supply control unit, an electric unit, and an electric lock control unit.

  The power supply unit controls the voltage / current of a battery such as a dry battery, a storage battery, a solar battery, or a fuel cell, or an AC power supply. The functional unit activates a mechanism (utility) for the device to control. The reader transmits / receives to / from an ID interface of an IC chip such as an IC chip mounting medium (for example, an IC card), an IC tag, or a mobile phone. The communication unit transmits / receives data between the parent device and the child device, and transmits / receives data to / from the parent device and the external control system. Each unit is a module with a built-in driver that operates each utility.

  FIG. 3B shows an embodiment of a format according to the present invention in which an authentication terminal and a lock unit are physically separated as a parent device and a child device, and the IC chip mounting medium is read and authenticated on the parent device side. On the base unit 81 side, a power source control unit 811 and a power source unit 812 that supply electricity to the components of the base unit, an external communication control unit 813 that communicates with the outside via PHS, LAN, and telephone line, and an external A communication unit 814, an internal communication control unit 815 and an internal communication unit 816 for performing short-range wireless communication with the slave unit, a reader / writer control unit 817 and a reader / writer unit 818 for reading and writing information on the IC chip mounting medium, An IC chip mounting medium ID number registered in advance and a pair of identification information associated with the IC chip mounting medium ID number and an ID authentication management unit 819 for collating information stored in the read IC chip mounting medium are provided.

  The operation mechanism is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1B. It comprises a master device that performs authentication and a slave device that receives the authentication result via short-range wireless and performs unlocking and locking. However, by separating the electric lock part, for example, as an electronic lock for a door of a new building, the base unit is integrated with the interphone, and only the electronic lock is attached to the door side. be able to. Also, if the building is a building where rooms are gathered, such as a company house or a meeting room, and the attributes of humans coming and going are limited, so that strong security is not required, there is one unit near the entrance. It is also possible to install a master unit, register a personal key for each room, and unlock the room key used by the individual by authentication at the entrance. In the case of a company house or the like, the cost of exchanging the room key each time the user changes can be saved, which is economical. In addition, for example, by installing a master unit near the elevator button, you can prohibit entry to other than the floor of the room used by the individual, and unlock only the electronic lock in the room used by the individual. Is possible. For office use, multiple cabinets equipped with the slave units of the present invention are installed in the room, information is stored, and authentication is performed near the entrance of the room, so that only cabinets that are authorized to view are unlocked. It is possible to take a mechanism of being done.

  In this form, there is a server as a management function in the building, and unlike the conventional authentication structure in which authentication is performed each time using this, the function for performing authentication is separate from the building (authentication ) The management mechanism is independent as a center. By separating the authentication mechanism and the lock management mechanism in this way, the management side only needs to have a communication function with the authentication mechanism. Even when an advanced authentication mechanism is adopted, only the authentication logic of the authentication mechanism is changed. The change to an advanced authentication mechanism can be realized easily. Therefore, the transition to high security can be performed very easily and economically. This situation and effect are the same in the following embodiment.

  Next, the flow of registration, unlocking / locking of authentication information using the present invention will be described. Here, although the first embodiment described above will be mainly described in mind, the philosophical skeleton is also common in other forms. FIG. 5 is a timing flowchart showing this flow.

  As shown in the figure, first, at a predetermined place where the registration terminal 7 is installed, an IC chip mounting medium used as an electronic lock is brought to start registration (step 1). After reading the IC chip mounting medium, the personal identification information linked to the medium is input. The identity verification information associated with the IC chip mounting medium ID number may be predetermined or may be freely selected by the individual performing registration (step 2). The registration application associates the read IC chip-mounted medium ID number with the identity verification information, and sends it to the ID management server 6 using communication means such as HTTP (step 3). The ID management server 6 registers the combination of the sent IC chip mounting medium ID number and the personal identification information in the database 64 as one key (step 4). The identity verification information that has been registered as an authentication key is also stored in the IC chip mounting medium that was brought (step 5), and this IC chip mounting medium becomes the key for the user.

  The combination of the IC chip mounting medium ID number registered in the ID management server 6 as a key and the personal identification information is sent to the electronic lock system using communication means and held (step 6).

  After that, the IC chip mounting medium in which the identity verification information is registered is received and brought (step 7), and is used over the electronic lock system, so that the IC chip mounting medium ID number and the ID number are registered in the electronic lock system. The personal identification information and the IC chip mounting medium ID number held by itself are collated with the personal identification information associated therewith, thereby enabling unlocking and locking (step 8).

  Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. The service industry has always had a footstep since the Edo period. The line that the generation is the return of watching is not possible without a footstep. Even in modern times, the act of keeping footwear, including restaurants, restaurants, izakayas, saunas, and inns, where you take off your footwear, was an excellent means of preventing misdemeanors such as moneyless eating and drinking. In recent years, due to labor saving, it has changed to the method of keeping keys at the front, and Japanese people accustomed to lower footsteps did not feel uncomfortable, but the lower footstep method with keys is a new humanity and foreigners, Even if it is the other way around, it must have been reflected that it is a system that allows easy money-free eating and wireless accommodation. Throw away the rags you've picked up. Leave the keys for the open clog box. Considering the weaknesses of machines, anyone can see that the lower footing method cannot be established without human eyes. A good system is one that cannot do such crimes.

  Check-in: The customer puts the shoe in the shoebox, removes the key, checks in at the front desk, and the front checks the key number of the shoebox and keeps the key.

Check out; checkout at the front, the front opens the shoebox. Give the customer a key. The customer takes out his shoes. The customer returns the key at the door. In this system, the security policy is set in two stages.
1) The customer who deposits the key of the other lower leg box at the front desk unlocks the lower leg box of the key deposited by the customer, so the lie's lower leg box can not be used, so his shoes can not be taken out.
2) Since the front of the customer who runs away with unnecessary shoes left is unlocked by an electric signal, the key returned from the front to the customer is returned at the exit. An alarm sounds when a customer without a key gets down to the entrance.

  In the above security 2), it is necessary to embed an IC chip in the key. In the good old days, we are reviving the footsteps that took on security. One is to let the front person have the role of the lower foot, and let the work of putting out the lower foot by the operation of the electric lock, the other is the role of the lower foot that takes out the shoehorn and sees it off to the entrance. That is, letting a key equipped with an IC chip do it.

  Consider from a technical point of view. As a locker for a clog box, the lock of the lower leg box is locked with a cylinder lock, locked with an electric signal, and unlocked with an electric signal from the front. In this case, what is required is a reversible mechanism for locking and unlocking the electric signal and the cylinder lock. In addition, a device that gives an alarm if it passes without a key embedded with an existing technology IC chip (for reverse shoplifting), and a device that gives an alarm when the electric lock is unlocked with a cylinder when it is electrically locked. is there.

  When standing on the above viewpoint, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to realize a system in which crimes cannot be committed by automatically systemating functions such as former footsteps in the service industry.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  Moreover, what was mentioned above only showed an example of embodiment for embodying the technical idea which concerns on this application, and the technical idea which concerns on this application is applicable also to other embodiment.

  Furthermore, even if an apparatus, a method, and a system that are produced using the invention of the present application are listed as a secondary product and commercialized, the value of the invention of the present application is not reduced at all.

The following is supplemented. For example, considering an alarm device that displays an unlocking signal with a lamp or a forgetting to close with an electric lock of an electronic cabinet, there are the following two ideas as inventions.
<About the lamp>
The number printed on the door only needs to be recognized, and the lamp can be turned on and unlocked simply by holding the card over a locker that can only be used by a specific person. become. Considering security, it is a story that raises doubts.
If you hold an IC card in the common area at the entrance of the apartment, a lamp will light up at the entrance. It is an unnatural story. The management cabinet should be the same.
<Alarm>
To send an electrical signal to forget to close, turn on the electromagnetic sensor on the door and frame (door stop), switch on when opened, switch off when closed, for a certain time if you forget to close When it has passed, an alarm will be generated and a notification will be sent to the management room and managers saying “It's still open”.
If the premise is that the cabinet doors should be closed every time an alarm is issued for a modest employee, the alarm should be turned off. If it is open, if there is a door, the surrounding people should close. If damage is caused by forgetting to close it, it will be immediately obvious from the data that it is the responsibility of the person who opened it last. In school, the fact that faculty and staff run forgetting to close students and students is not socially possible even if it is physically possible.
The inventor of the present application has an alarm as an option, and when it is opened, the knock part pops out (the reverse movement of the knock-type ballpoint pen) and the timer switch (one to two minutes with a simple timer) enters and one minute has passed. If the knock is not pushed in, I think that it should be possible to make an alarm (awakening degree). This alarm is a mechanism that is completely disconnected from electric locks, electronic locks, and open / close records, and can be attached to the door or body frame with magnets or screws. One AAA battery lasts for more than a year.
As can be seen from the above explanation, the electric lock slave does not require a lamp or alarm, so the whole system design is extremely light, and there is no doubt that the cost will be considerably low for initial and running. In this way, it is extremely useful that what is conventionally considered necessary is not necessary.

  According to the electronic lock for non-contact type IC chip mounting medium according to the present invention, the registrant can use any non-contact type IC chip mounting medium as a residence key. Even if the key is lost, an easy reissue procedure is provided, and a storage battery is used to drive the electronic lock. Is unnecessary. Furthermore, because it uses a storage battery type and wiring is not necessary, it is only necessary to replace the fittings, and it can be installed in existing general houses, second-hand condominiums, and office buildings. Since the electronic lock has a communication unit that enables the exchange of information via a network, management costs are reduced by realizing centralized management, authentication of non-contact type IC chip mounting medium ID, non-contact type Since the issue and reissue of the IC chip mounting medium ID key and the management of the electronic lock are performed separately, it is expected to provide a clear distinction between risk management in the system. In addition, this effect eliminates rent non-payment due to the increase in neat or freeters, resolves sitting incidents, prevents incidents due to the dissipation of key locks and illegal intrusions made at street corner shops, and improves the safety of houses by recording the history of door opening and closing. In combination with achieving the above, it is not only immediate issuance at the site of loss, etc., but it also has a great benefit in that it can be a trigger to solve problems that modern society has, such as terrorism crimes, etc. Is.

  In addition, by separating the authentication unit, IC chip mounted media reader / writer unit, and lock unit as appropriate, it is possible to unlock and lock the room in the room by performing authentication at the shared entrance such as employee dormitory. In addition, with respect to cabinets installed in the data center, it is possible to unlock only cabinets with access authority by one-time authentication near the entrance of the facility so that the contents can be browsed.
