On the side, card readers (CR) 22, 32, 42 connected to the controllers 21, 31, 41, respectively, are installed. Each controller 21, 31, 41 is means for controlling the operation of the connected card reader 22, 32, 42. The entry / exit management server 10 manages entry / exit based on information sent from the card readers 22, 32, 42 via the controllers 21, 31, 41.

  In the present embodiment, the card readers 22, 32, and 42 are installed only on the entrance side of the room that the entry / exit management server 10 manages entry / exit. Area A in the present embodiment is, for example, a certain business office, and a card reader 22 is installed in the vicinity of the entrance of the common gate. Areas B and C are, for example, buildings in area A, and card readers 32 and 42 are installed in the vicinity of the doors of each building. Note that the entrance / exit management system manages not only entrance / exit of “room” but also entrance / exit in offices and buildings where the card readers 22, 32, 42 are installed. Accordingly, the “room” in the present embodiment refers to an area of a closed space such as a room, a ridge, or a business office where the user enters and exits from a door or the like. In this embodiment, “room” is also referred to as “area”. However, entering the area is “entering”, leaving the area is “leaving”, and the state of being in the area is “in-room” ". Since the areas B and C are in the area A, it can be said that the area A and the areas B and C are in an inclusive relationship or a hierarchical relationship. However, when the user is in the area B or area C, the user is not said to be in the area A. When the user is in area A, the user is present in any of area A, area B, or area C. In the present embodiment, the area A and the areas B and C are described assuming the relationship of the establishment (in the site) and the facility (building) in the site, but the building A and each room in the building may be used. Further, instead of two levels, a three-level or higher level relationship such as an office, a building, and a room may be used.

  FIG. 2 is a hardware configuration diagram of a server computer forming the entrance / exit management server 10 in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the server computer forming the entrance / exit management server 10 can be realized by a general-purpose hardware configuration that has existed before. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the computer is provided as a CPU 51, ROM 52, RAM 53, HDD controller 55 connected with a hard disk drive (HDD) 54, a mouse 56 and keyboard 57 provided as input means, and a display device.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the entrance / exit management server 10 in this embodiment includes an information acquisition unit 11, an entrance / exit management unit 12, an entrance / exit management information storage unit 13, a user information storage unit 14, and a card reader information storage unit 15. doing. Note that components not used in the description of the present embodiment are omitted. The information acquisition unit 11 acquires information transmitted from the card readers 22, 32, and 42 via the controllers 21, 31, and 41. A user who uses the facility carries an identification card in which the user ID of the user is recorded as identification information for identifying the user. When entering any of the areas, the user ID recorded on the identification card is read by holding the identification card over the card readers 22, 32, 42 installed corresponding to the area. Therefore, the information acquisition unit 11 acquires a user ID as information sent from the card readers 22, 32, and 42. In addition, the card readers 22, 32, and 42 in the present embodiment detect unauthorized intruders in the area when the last exit person of the area operates the card reader in the area and sets the security mode. A function is provided. In this way, the information acquisition unit 11 further acquires security mode setting information indicating that the security mode is set as information transmitted from the card readers 22, 32, and 42. The entrance / exit management unit 12 manages the entrance / exit of each user by performing an information acquisition process based on acquiring information sent from the card readers 22, 32, and 42 and a scheduled process described later. Also, when the user causes the card reader 22, 32, 42 to read the identification card, it also functions as a determination unit that determines whether the user is allowed to enter the area where the card reader 22, 32, 42 is installed. To do. The entrance / exit management information storage unit 13, the user information storage unit 14, and the card reader information storage unit 15 are storage units for storing entrance / exit management information, user information, and card reader information, respectively. Each information will be described later.

  Each component 11 and 12 in the entrance / exit management server 10 is realized by a cooperative operation of a computer forming the entrance / exit management server 10 and a program operating on the CPU 51 mounted on the computer. In addition, each information storage unit 13, 14, 15 is realized by the HDD 54 mounted on the entrance / exit management server 10. Of course, you may implement | achieve with the other memory | storage means accessible via RAM53 or a network.

  Further, the program used in this embodiment can be provided not only by communication means but also by storing it in a computer-readable recording medium such as a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. The program provided from the communication means or the recording medium is installed in the computer, and various processes are realized by the CPU of the computer sequentially executing the program.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a data configuration example of entrance / exit management information stored in the entrance / exit management information storage unit 13 in the present embodiment. The entrance / exit management information includes user identification information (“user ID”) of the user who uses the facility, identification information (“area ID”) of the area where the user is or has been present, and the area. “Entering date / time” indicating the date / time when the user entered the room and “Leaving date / time” indicating the date / time when the user left the area are associated with each other. In FIG. 3, when date information is set in the leaving date and time like the user with the user ID “user01”, this indicates that the user has already left the area with the area ID “A0101”. Further, when the date information is not set for the leaving date and time like the user with the user ID “user02”, this indicates that the user is in the area with the area ID “A0102”. The entrance / exit management information is sequentially updated by the entrance / exit management unit 12 according to the user's entrance / exit.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a data configuration example of user information stored in the user information storage unit 14 according to the present embodiment. The user information is configured by associating security information with user identification information (“user ID”) of a user who uses the facility. In the security information, an area ID of an area where the user can enter is set. Of course, it can be updated as needed, but the user information is preset. Note that personal information such as name and affiliation is further registered in the user information, but it is omitted from the figure because it is not used in the description of the present embodiment.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a data configuration example of card reader information stored in the card reader information storage unit 15 in the present embodiment. The card reader information includes an “installation location” in which an area (area ID) is set in the card reader identification information (“CRID”) for identifying the card reader as information for specifying the area where the card reader is installed, and each card. A leader, that is, a “hierarchical relationship” indicating a hierarchical relationship (inclusion relationship) of each area is associated with each other. According to the data setting example shown in FIG. 5, it can be seen that the card readers with CRID “CR01” and “CR02” are in the area A where the card reader with CRID “CR00” is installed. That is, the hierarchical relationship of each area can be grasped by referring to the “hierarchical relationship”. The card reader information is set in advance. The card reader information may further include identification information of a controller to which the card reader is connected, but is omitted from the drawing because it is not used for the description of the present embodiment.

  Next, an operation for performing occupancy management in the present embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, entry / exit to each area is detected in order to perform occupancy management. As a process for this, the entry / exit management unit 12 is sent from the card readers 22, 32, 42. Performs information acquisition processing and scheduled processing triggered by incoming information. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing information acquisition processing in the present embodiment, and FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing scheduled processing in the present embodiment. Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to these drawings.

  When a user enters any area, the card reader reads the user ID from the identification card held over the card reader installed at the entrance of the area, The read user ID is added with its own card reader ID (CRID) and sent to the controller. The controller sends information to the entrance / exit management server 10 when information is sent from the connected card reader.

  In the entrance / exit management server 10, when the information acquisition unit 11 acquires information sent from the controller (step 101), the entrance / exit management unit 12 determines whether or not the user ID is included in the information. If the user ID is included (Y in step 102), the user then determines whether the user is allowed to enter the area where the card reader is installed. Specifically, the area ID corresponding to the card reader ID sent together with the user ID is specified by referring to the card reader information registered in the card reader information storage unit 15, and then the user information storage unit 14 is checked whether or not the user is permitted to enter the area of the area ID specified by referring to the security information of the user information registered in 14. That is, if the area ID is registered in the security information of the user, it is determined that entry is permitted, and if it is not registered, it is determined that entry is not permitted.

  When it is determined that entry is permitted (Y in step 103), the entry / exit management unit 12 sets the date / time when the information was acquired in step 101 to the user's exit date / time in the entry / exit management information. (Step 104). At this time, the area ID of the area in which the user was present is set as the area ID of the user in the entry / exit management information, and the date and time when the user entered the area is set as the entry date and time in step 105 or step 107 described later, respectively. Therefore, in this step 104, by writing the date and time in the user's leaving date and time, it is clarified that the user has left the area on the entry / exit management information. Although not included in the processing function in the present embodiment, it is convenient to collect the history at the time when the exit date / time is written when managing the history of entering / leaving the user. Further, the entrance / exit management server 10 instructs the controller corresponding to the card reader to unlock the door of the area.

  Subsequently, the entrance / exit management unit 12 specifies an area ID corresponding to the card reader ID sent in step 101 by referring to the card reader information, and the area ID of the user in the entrance / exit management information is specified as the area ID. Set the identified area ID. In addition, the date and time when the information is acquired in step 101 is set as the user's entry date and time in the entry / exit management information.

  By the way, in the entrance / exit management information for a new user, no data may be set for the area ID, entry date / time, and exit date / time set in correspondence with the user ID of the user. As shown in the above, the user's leaving date / time in the entry / exit management information remains set as the leaving date / time in the area where the user was present immediately before. Accordingly, the entry / exit management unit 12 deletes the user's exit date / time data in the entry / exit management information (step 105). By deleting the leaving date / time data, the user is present in the area specified by the area ID in the entering / leaving management information.

  The fact that a user has entered a certain area means that the user has left the area where the user was present. Therefore, entry / exit can be easily managed without installing a card reader for leaving the room. However, even if the user leaves the room after entering the area, if the user does not enter the area after the room is left, the user is in the area in the room according to the entry / exit management information. It will be left in the room. Therefore, in this embodiment, the scheduled processing shown in FIG. 7 is performed. This scheduled processing is repeatedly performed every predetermined time.

  The room entry / exit management unit 12 refers to the room entry / exit management information registered in the room entry / exit management information storage unit 13 and identifies a user who is present in any area. A user who is present in any of the areas is a user whose data is set in the area ID and room entry date / time of the user in the room entry / exit management information and data is not set in the room exit date / time. When a user in the room is specified, the entrance / exit management unit 12 obtains a difference between the entry date / time of each user and the current time, and compares the difference with a predetermined time set in advance using the time difference as a threshold value. If the calculated time difference is longer than the predetermined time, in other words, if the user has been in the room for a predetermined time since entering the room (Y in step 122), the user has already left the area. The current date / time is set as the user's leaving date / time in the entry / exit management information (step 123). In this case, since entry into any area has not been confirmed, the user not only leaves the area where the user was present, but also outside the system management, in the case of the present embodiment, the area A Estimated to have gone outside. For example, it is estimated that a user who has been in the area A has left the area A. In addition, it is estimated that the user who has been in the areas B and C has also left the area A.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, when a predetermined time has elapsed since entering the room, it is estimated that the user has left the area in the room when the predetermined time has elapsed. Estimating the elapse of the predetermined time as leaving the room may cause an error from the actual situation, but by performing such processing, it is possible to simply stay in the room without using a card reader for leaving. Management can be realized.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the user's entrance / exit is managed by performing two processes. One is processing in steps 106 and 107 in FIG. That is, it is a case where the user ID read by the user holding the identification card is sent (Y in steps 101 and 102), and it is determined that entry of the user is not permitted ( N in step 103). It is clear that the user cannot enter the area where the user tries to enter with the identification card, but has left the area where the user was present. Accordingly, the entry / exit management unit 12 sets the date / time when the information was acquired in step 101 to the user's exit date / time in the entry / exit management information (step 106). Subsequently, the entrance / exit management unit 12 refers to the card reader information to acquire the area ID set in the hierarchical relationship of the area IDs of the areas in the room, and uses the acquired area ID as the entrance / exit. The area ID corresponding to the user in the management information is set. In this way, the user is considered to have moved to an area outside the area where the user was present. In addition, the date and time when the information is acquired in step 101 is set as the room entry date and time corresponding to the user in the room entry / exit management information. Furthermore, the leaving date / time data in the area where the room was present immediately before is deleted (step 107).

  For example, in FIG. 1, when the user is present in area B, the user's identification card is held over the card reader 42 corresponding to area C, but entry is not permitted. To do. In this case, the user leaves the area B and stays in the area A one outside. In the present embodiment, entering the area A is considered to be immediately before the user's identification card is held over the card reader 42 corresponding to the area C, and the card reader 42 corresponding to the area C as described above is entered. The date and time when the user's identification card is read is set as the date and time when the user enters the area A. In this embodiment, the date and time when the information is acquired in step 101 and the date and time when the card reader is made to read the identification card are the same. Furthermore, the date and time when the information is acquired in step 101 may be the same as the current date and time.

  The other is the processing in step 108 in FIG. That is, the card readers 22, 32, and 42 in this embodiment are equipped with a security mode function. The security mode can be set when a predetermined operation is performed on the card readers 22, 32, and 42, and there is no occupant. An alarm is generated when an occupant is detected during the security mode setting. Thus, at the time when the security mode is set, basically there should be no occupants.

  Therefore, when any card reader is set to the security mode by a predetermined operation, the card reader adds its own card reader ID to the information indicating that and sends it to the controller. The controller sends information to the entrance / exit management server 10 when information is sent from the connected card reader.

  In the entrance / exit management server 10, when the information acquisition unit 11 acquires information sent from the controller (step 101), the entrance / exit management unit 12 sets the security mode because the user ID is not included in the information. If it is determined (N in step 102), an area ID corresponding to the card reader ID is identified by referring to the card reader information, and the area ID same as the identified area ID is the area ID of the entry / exit management information Identify users who are set to. Furthermore, among the specified users, a user who has a room entry date and time but is not set to leave is specified. This identified user is present in the area in the room management information. Accordingly, the entry / exit management unit 12 sets the date / time at which information was acquired in step 101 to the exit date / time of all users specified in the entry / exit management information (step 108). In this case, it is estimated that all users have left the area. That is, it is presumed that the user who was present in the areas B and C went out of the area A instead of the area A.

  In the present embodiment, entry / exit management of each user is performed by updating the entry / exit management information as described above. At a certain point in time, the number of users in the area at the time can be grasped by counting the number of users for whom the room entry date / time has been set and the room leaving date / time has not been set for each area ID.

  By the way, the predetermined time in the scheduled processing shown in FIG. 7 may be set in units of business establishments, departments or individuals depending on the labor characteristics in the business of each department in the establishments and establishments. Therefore, it is assumed that the predetermined time is suitable for 2 to 3 hours in an office building and 3 to 4 hours in a factory, for example. If the predetermined time is set to a relatively short time, the error in the case where the user leaves the room earlier than the date and time when the predetermined time has elapsed from the entry date and time can be actually shortened. On the other hand, if the predetermined time is set to a relatively long time, the error in the case where the user leaves the room later than the date and time when the predetermined time has elapsed from the entry date and time can be actually shortened.

  In addition, for example, when the user leaves the area without returning to another area such as going to a toilet, the user causes the card reader to read the identification card only when the user enters the room. At this time, on the entry / exit management information, the same date / time is set for the room exit date / time from the area and the room entry date / time to the returned area. In such a case, the history information of the entry / exit management information may be updated if the user has been in the area without treating the exit as an exit.

  Further, in the scheduled process shown in FIG. 7, when a predetermined time elapses from the entry time, it is estimated that the user has left the outermost area (area A in FIG. 1), but the user leaves the room after the predetermined time elapses. When entering the same area as the estimated area, the history information of the entry / exit management information may be updated to indicate that the user has continued to stay in the area without treating the exit as an exit. In addition, regarding this processing, for example, if the user who has been in the area B has not read the user's identification card until the predetermined time has elapsed since entering the room, the user has left the area A. As a presumption, when the reading to the card reader 32 corresponding to the area B is detected without detecting the reading to the card reader 22 corresponding to the area A, the user has left the area A. There will be no. Accordingly, in this case, the user enters the area B after the user enters the area B until the predetermined time elapses, and the area A after the predetermined time elapses until the reading to the card reader 32 is detected. In addition, after the reading to the card reader 32 is detected, the history information of the entrance / exit management information may be updated if the user is in the area B.
