The electric lock control device 110 according to the present embodiment includes a storage unit 111, an authentication unit 112, an electric lock control unit 113, a user disposal unit 114, and a flag update unit 115.

  The storage unit 111 stores, as a database, the identification number of the user of the room where the entrance / exit management device 100 is installed and information indicating the ON / OFF state of the PC 200 used by the user in association with each other. This database may be described as shown in FIG. 3, for example. In the database shown in FIG. 3, one PC 200 is associated with each user. However, a plurality of PCs 200 may be associated with each other, or information regarding the power state of devices other than the PC 200 may be associated with each user. good. For example, the power ON / OFF information of the PC 200 may be stored as a power flag described as “0” when the power is on and as “1” when the power is off.

  When the identification number is sent from the card reader 120, the authentication unit 112 checks whether the identification number is described in the database stored in the storage unit 111. When the identification number is described in the database, the authentication success information is transmitted to the electric lock control unit 113, assuming that the authentication is successful. Further, when the identification number is not described in the database, the authentication failure information may be transmitted to the electric lock control unit 113, assuming that the authentication has failed.

  The electric lock control unit 113 controls the unlocking / locking of the electric lock when receiving the information of the authentication success from the authentication unit 112. For example, when the electric lock 130 is locked in a normal state, when receiving information on the success of authentication from the authentication unit 112 when the user enters, an unlock command is transmitted to the electric lock 130. When the user leaves the authentication unit 112 and receives authentication success information from the authentication unit 112, the power state of the PC 200 used by the user is confirmed by a database stored in the storage unit 111. When it is confirmed that the power of the PC 200 is OFF, an unlocking command is transmitted to the electric lock 130. When it is confirmed that the power of the PC 200 is ON, a disposal command is sent to the user disposal unit 114. Send.

  In addition, for example, when the electric lock 130 is in an unlocked state at the normal time, the electric lock control unit 113 issues a locking command when receiving information on authentication failure from the authentication unit 112 when the user enters or exits. You may make it transmit to the electric lock 130. FIG. When it is desired to receive authentication success information from the authentication unit 112 when the user leaves, the power state of the PC 200 used by the user may be confirmed by a database stored in the storage unit 111. Then, when it is confirmed that the power source of the PC 200 is ON, a locking command may be transmitted to the electric lock 130 and a disposal command may be transmitted to the user disposal unit 114.

  When the user disposal unit 114 receives a disposal command from the electric lock control unit 113, the user disposal unit 114 performs disposal for the user. There are various possible disposals for users. For example, a warning sound may be emitted to prompt the user to turn off the PC 200. At this time, an unlocking command may be transmitted to the electric lock 130 from the electric lock control unit 113 and a warning sound may be sounded, or a warning sound may be sounded while the electric lock 130 is locked. . As the warning, the entrance / exit management device 100 may be provided with a monitor, and in addition to the warning sound, a message that informs the user that the power of the PC 200 is on may be displayed on the monitor. Alternatively, instead of the warning sound, a message that informs the user that the PC 200 is in an ON state may be played by voice.

  In this way, instead of automatically turning off the power of the PC 200, a warning sound is sounded and the fact that the power of the PC 200 is turned on is urged to turn off the PC 200 by the user's own hand.

That is, the security of the PC 200 is improved.

  Further, for example, when the user disposal unit 114 receives a disposal command from the electric lock control unit 113, the user disposal unit 114 may transmit an email to the manager of the room. For example, the name of the user may be described in the database together with the identification number of the user, and the name of the user trying to leave the PC 200 with the power on may be described in the e-mail. By doing so, it becomes possible to warn the user who has left the PC 200 with the power ON, even from the manager of the room that received the e-mail. It becomes possible to promote more.

  The flag update unit 115 updates the power ON / OFF information of the PC 200 in the database stored in the storage unit 111. When the PC 200 used by a certain user is activated, the ON / OFF information of the PC 200 associated with the user identification number is updated to ON. When the PC 200 used by a certain user is shut down, the ON / OFF information of the PC 200 associated with the user identification number is updated to OFF.

  There are various methods for updating the ON / OFF information of the PC 200. For example, a script for updating ON / OFF information is described in the startup script and shutdown script of the PC 200, and the startup script and shutdown script of the PC 200 can directly rewrite the database in the storage unit 111 when the PC 200 is started and shut down. Anyway. In addition, as described above, the electric lock control device 110 is provided with the flag update unit 115, and when the PC 200 is activated and shut down, the activation information and the shutdown information are transmitted from the PC 200 to the flag update unit 115, respectively. The flag update unit 115 may update the information in the database.

  By doing so, it is possible to manage the power ON / OFF information of the PC 200 used by the user. Then, by using the information updated in this way, as described above, it is possible to dispose of the user who leaves the vehicle while the power is on.
