First Embodiment

  Next, the unlocking control process according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  The process illustrated in the flowchart of FIG. 3 is a process in which the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 reads and executes a predetermined control program.

  In step S301, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 acquires an image captured by an imaging device (camera). Also, information (ID) for identifying an imaging device that has captured the video is acquired from the imaging device.

  In step S302, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 analyzes the video acquired in step S301. Specifically, a two-dimensional code shown in the video acquired in step S301 is detected, and a process of acquiring an ID (identification information) indicated by the two-dimensional code is executed. Further, at the time of analysis, for example, processing of extracting acquired video data for each frame and analyzing it as image data (still image) is performed.

  Note that the two-dimensional code in the embodiment of the present invention refers to a code configured by arranging a plurality of cells, as described in, for example, JP 2012-78973A. When the two-dimensional code is included in the still image, the two-dimensional code described in JP 2012-78973 A includes the ID (identification information) of the two-dimensional code and the still image of the two-dimensional code. It is characterized in that the middle position (coordinates) is acquired. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the information processing apparatus 101 has an application for detecting a two-dimensional code and acquiring its ID and a position (coordinates) in a still image.

  The two-dimensional code may be any as long as it can recognize a plurality of two-dimensional codes at one time. An example of a two-dimensional code is shown in FIG.

  In step S303, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 determines whether all the IDs acquired in step S302 are registered in the master table (for example, FIG. 6).

  That is, it is determined whether a person who is not registered as a user who uses the conference room is included.

  If all the acquired IDs are registered in the master table (step S303: YES), the process proceeds to step S304.

  If there is an ID not registered in the master table (step S303: NO), the processing shown in this flowchart is ended. That is, in order to prevent persons other than the user who uses the conference room from using the conference room, the entrance is not unlocked. At this time, error information to the effect that unlocking can not be performed may be transmitted. The same applies to the case where NO is determined in steps S304, S305, and S306.

  In step S304, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 determines, using the master table, whether all the IDs acquired in step S302 belong to the same group.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the master table, two-dimensional code information (ID) and a group are associated with each other.

  If all the IDs belong to the same group (step S304: YES), the process proceeds to step S305.

  If an ID belonging to a different group is included (step S304: NO), the processing of this flowchart ends.

  In step S305, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 determines whether the number of IDs acquired in step S302 matches the number of IDs belonging to the group determined in step S304. That is, it is determined whether all IDs belonging to the same group can be acquired (whether there is a missing ID).

  If they match (step S305: YES), the process proceeds to step S306.

  If they do not match (step S305: NO), the process shown in the flowchart is ended.

  In step S306, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 determines whether the number of IDs acquired in step S302 matches the number of persons appearing in the analysis target video.

  That is, it is determined whether one person has two or more two-dimensional codes. For example, even if it is determined in step S305 that there is not a missing ID, if one person possesses two or more two-dimensional codes, all persons entering the room may not be present. Become. Therefore, in the process of this step, it is confirmed that all the members are present.

  The number of persons can be determined by using a known face detection technique or the like.

  If they match (step S306: YES), the process proceeds to step S307.

  If they do not match (step S306: NO), the processing of this flowchart ends.

  In step S307, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 instructs the locking system to unlock. Then, the processing of this flowchart is ended.

  In the locking system, the entrance is unlocked in accordance with the unlocking instruction from the information processing apparatus in step S307.

  Note that as to which entrance is to be unlocked, a data table (for example, FIG. 11) in which identification information of the network camera is associated with the entrance monitored (in charge of) the network camera , Determined by the ID acquired in step S301. That is, the entrance associated with the network camera (camera ID acquired in step S301) that captured the image acquired in step S301 is unlocked.

FIG. 6 is an example of a master table stored in the information processing apparatus 101 in the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, it is comprised from a group, two-dimensional code information (ID), and division.
Second Embodiment

  Next, the unlocking control process according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  The process illustrated in the flowchart of FIG. 4 is a process in which the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 reads and executes a predetermined control program.

  Here, since the processing of steps S301 to S307 in FIG. 4 is the same processing as the processing of S301 to S307 in FIG. 3, the description here is omitted. The present embodiment (the second embodiment) is an embodiment in which the process shown in S401 is added after the process of step S306 in the first embodiment.

  In the second embodiment, a master table shown in FIG. 7 is used.

  In step S401, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 processes the face included in the video analyzed in step S302 and the face image identified by the ID acquired in step S302 (face image identified by the master table shown in FIG. 7). To determine whether it is the face of the same person. Specifically, for example, the similarity between the feature amount of the face image shown in FIG. 7 and the feature amount of the face included in the image analyzed in step S302 is calculated, and the calculated similarity satisfies a predetermined value. It is possible to judge by whether it is or not.

  If it is determined that the face is the face of the same person (step S401: YES), the process proceeds to step S307.

  If it is determined that the face is not the face of the same person (step S401: NO), the processing of this flowchart ends.

Thus, in the present embodiment, face recognition processing is performed based on the face image registered in the master table. As a result, for example, even if a two-dimensional code is duplicated and another person spoofs and tries to enter the room, it becomes possible to prevent another person from entering the room by a combination with face recognition.

The present embodiment (third embodiment) is an embodiment in which the process shown in S501 is added after the process of step S401 in the second embodiment.

  In the third embodiment, a master table shown in FIG. 8 is used.

  In step S501, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 determines whether the number of faces determined to be the same person in step S401 satisfies the numerical value set at the security level shown in FIG.

  For example, in FIG. 10, entering the 206 meeting room means that there must be two or more faces determined to be the same person. Similarly, it means that one 302 meeting rooms and three or more reception rooms are required.

  It is possible to specify which conference room you are going to enter from the identification information of the network camera acquired in step S301.

  If it is determined that the security level is satisfied (step S501: YES), the process proceeds to step S307.

  If it is determined that the security level is not satisfied (step S501: NO), the process illustrated in the flowchart is ended.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, may be registered or previously which groups utilize any conference room, the registered group can be controlled not only available conference rooms that have been registered.
