[0033]
Next, with reference to FIG. 7, an example of an operation for reporting a calendar-out warning for notifying the server device of a warning when the remaining schedule information becomes small will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart of an operation for reporting a calendar out warning.
[0034]
First, the gate device 20 acquires the current time from the clock 24 (step S101). Then, it is investigated whether each time zone table of the door opening time zone table 21a and the entrance / exit limit time zone table 21b has been downloaded from the server apparatus 10 (step S102). As a result of the investigation, if the door opening and entrance / exit restriction time zone tables 21a and 21b are not downloaded, it is determined that the door opening and entrance / exit restriction are not implemented, and the time zone tables 21a and 21b are downloaded. Until then, the subsequent processing is not performed.
[0035]
As a result of the investigation in step S102, when the door opening and entry / exit restriction time zone tables 21a and 21b have been downloaded, each of the door opening calendar table 21c and the entry / exit restriction calendar table 21d from the server device 10 is downloaded. It is further investigated whether the calendar table has been downloaded (step S103). As a result of the investigation, if the calendar tables 21c and 21d for door opening and entry / exit restriction have not been downloaded, the process transits to the calendar creation warning report creation process unconditionally.
[0036]
As a result of the investigation in step S103, if the calendar tables 21c and 21d for door opening and entry / exit restriction have been downloaded, the remaining number of days set in the calendar is acquired (step S104), and the remaining number of days. To investigate the. As a result of the investigation, if the remaining number of days is 0, that is, so-called is not set (step S105), it is further investigated how much time has passed since the last warning was reported (step S106). If one hour or more has passed as a result of the investigation, a calendar out warning is reported to the server device 10 (step S107).
[0037]
As a result of investigating the number of remaining days set in the calendar in step S105, if the number of remaining days set in the calendar is 1 day or more and 7 days or less (step S108), the server apparatus 10 is warned last time. When 6 hours have elapsed since then (step S109), a calendar out warning is reported to the server device 10 (step S110).
[0038]
Further, as a result of investigating the number of remaining days set in the calendar in step S108, when the number of remaining days set in the calendar exceeds 7 days and is 30 days or less (step S111), the server device 10 When 24 hours have passed since the warning is issued (step S112), a calendar out warning is reported to the server device 10 (step S113).
[0039]
If the remaining number of days set in the calendar exceeds 30 days as a result of investigating the number of remaining days in step S111, the calendar out warning to the server apparatus 10 is not reported.
[0040]
Next, an example of an operation for automatically creating each calendar table for door opening and entrance / exit restriction will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart of an operation for automatically creating a calendar table.
[0041]
First, the gate device 20 acquires the current time from the clock 24 (step S121). Subsequently, it is checked whether or not the time zone tables of the door opening time zone table 21a and the entrance / exit limit time zone table 21b have been downloaded (step S122). It continues to check whether each calendar table of the restriction calendar table 21d has been downloaded (step S123). As a result of the investigation, if the calendar table is not downloaded and set, the process unconditionally transitions to the calendar creation process (step S126).
[0042]
If the calendar tables 21c and 21d for door opening and entrance / exit restriction have been downloaded in step S123, the set remaining days are acquired (step S124), and the remaining days are investigated (step S125). As a result of the investigation, if the remaining number of days is 0, that is, if it is not set to be downloaded, calendar creation processing is performed (step S126). If there is a remaining number of days, no calendar is created.
[0043]
Subsequently, after the calendar is created in step S126, it is investigated whether or not the individual setting calendar table 21e has been downloaded (step S127). As a result of the investigation, if it is downloaded and set, the calendar created by itself is corrected (step S128). When the individual setting calendar table 21e has not been downloaded, the calendar is not corrected.
[0044]
The creation of the calendar in step S126 is realized by obtaining the day of the week on the first day using Zeller's formula and then updating the day of the week until December 31.
[0045]
Further, when the day of the week setting information table 21g shown in FIG. 3 is set for the gate device 20 from the server device 10, the day of the new day is obtained using the Zeller formula, and then December 31st is obtained. This is realized by updating the day of the week until the day is reached and setting the calendar from the day-of-week setting information of the corresponding day. As a result, it is possible to deal with a company that is closed on Sundays.
[0046]
Another method of creating calendar information is to obtain calendar information for the last week of the current calendar information, and use this information to create calendar information for a certain period of time, for example, one year for each day of the week. Also good.
[0047]
Furthermore, when the individual setting calendar table 21e shown in FIG. 6 has been set from the server device 10 to the gate device 20, the calendar information created above is set in the individual setting calendar table 21e. Correct with information. For example, if a holiday is set as a holiday in the individual setting calendar table, calendar information can be created with the holiday as a holiday.
[0048]
Next, an example of the operation in the case where the door opening time zone and the entrance / exit time limit time zone overlap will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the operation when the doors open and the entrance / exit restrictions are overlapped.
[0049]
First, the current time is acquired from the clock 24 (step S131). It is investigated whether the current time is during the door opening operation (step S132). If it is in operation, the door opening operation in progress flag is set to ON (step S133). Next, it is investigated whether the current time is during the entry / exit restriction operation (step S134). If it is in operation, the entry / exit restriction operation in progress flag is set to ON (step S135).
[0050]
Subsequently, when the door opening operation flag is ON and the entry / exit restriction operation flag is ON (step S136), the setting contents of the priority flag table 21f are investigated (step S137), and the door opening operation is performed. When the priority is higher than the entrance / exit restriction operation, the door opening operation is executed (step S138). On the other hand, if the priority of the entry / exit restriction operation is higher than the door opening operation, the entry / exit restriction operation is executed (step S139).
[0051]
In step S136, if neither the door opening operation flag or the entry / exit restriction operation flag is ON, it is first investigated whether the door opening operation flag is ON (step S140). If the door opening operation flag is ON, the door opening operation is executed (step S141).
[0052]
Furthermore, when the door opening operation in progress flag is OFF in step S140, it is investigated whether the entrance / exit restriction operation in progress flag is ON (step S142). If the entry / exit restriction operation flag is ON, an entry / exit restriction operation is executed (step S143). If the entry / exit restriction operation in progress flag is OFF, it is determined that the door opening operation and the entry / exit restriction operation are not performed, and the normal operation is executed (step S144).
[0053]
Next, an example of operation switching when the door opening time zone and the entrance / exit time limit zone overlap will be described with reference to FIG. FIGS. 10A to 10D are examples of operation switching contents of operations when the doors are open and entrance / exit restrictions are overlapped.
[0054]
In this embodiment, the start time of the door opening time is a, the end time is c, the start time of the entrance / exit limit time zone is b, the end time is d, and the time relationship is a <b <c <d. To do. The period from time b to time c is the time when the door opening operation and the entrance / exit restriction operation overlap.
[0055]
First, from the normal operation, when the time becomes a, the door opening time starts, and the electric lock is unlocked.
[0056]
Subsequently, when the time becomes b, it becomes the start time of the entry / exit time limit. At this time, the setting contents of the priority order flag table 21f are examined. When the setting of the priority order flag table 21f is door opening> entry / exit restriction as shown in (a), the door opening operation is continued as shown in (b). This allows entry and exit. On the other hand, when the door opening is less than the entry / exit restriction as shown in (c), the entry / exit restriction operation is executed as shown in (d), and the electric lock is unlocked to unlocked. This prohibits entry / exit.
[0057]
Subsequently, when the time reaches c, it is the end time of the door opening operation, the entrance / exit restriction operation is executed, and the electric lock is locked.
[0058]
Furthermore, when the time becomes d, it becomes the end time of the entrance / exit restriction, and the normal operation time.
[0059]
Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the number of remaining days set in the calendar tables 21c and 21d for door opening and entrance / exit restriction is checked, and when this remaining time is about to run out, the gate device By alerting the server device 10 from 20, it is possible to prompt the server device 10 to set calendar information and to prevent forgetting the setting on the server device 10 side.
[0060]
Furthermore, when the door opening time zone and the entrance / exit restriction time zone overlap, according to the setting contents of the priority order flag table 21f, the door opening operation is executed when the door opening is prioritized to enter / exit the room. When permission is granted and entry / exit restrictions are prioritized, entry / exit restriction operation can be executed to prohibit entry / exit.
[0061]
If the calendar tables 21c and 21d for door opening and entry / exit restriction are not set, the calendar information is automatically created on the gate device 20 side, and this calendar information is used to operate the server device. It is possible to prevent malfunction due to forgetting to set on the 10 side.
[0062]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, when the remaining time of calendar information set from the server device falls within a predetermined range, the gate device can warn the server device. It is possible to prevent forgetting to set calendar information on the device side.
[0063]
Furthermore, according to the present invention, entry / exit is permitted or prohibited based on the information on the permitted time zone and the prohibited time zone of the calendar information, and in particular, when the permitted time zone and the prohibited time zone overlap, priority is given to one. Therefore, it is possible to realize the restriction depending on the time zone for entering and leaving the room.
[0064]
Also, according to the present invention, when the remaining calendar information time becomes zero, the calendar information can be automatically created on the gate device side, so this calendar information is sent until new calendar information is transmitted from the server device. It is possible to prevent malfunction caused by forgetting to set calendar information on the server device side by using the information.
