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

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

In step S302, the CPU 201 of the information processing device 101 analyzes the video acquired in step S301. Specifically, the process of detecting the two-dimensional code shown in the video acquired in step S301 and acquiring the ID (identification information) indicated by the two-dimensional code is executed. Further, when analyzing, for example, the acquired video data is extracted for each frame and analyzed as image data (still image).

The two-dimensional code in the embodiment of the present invention refers to a code in which a plurality of cells are arranged, as described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-78973. When the two-dimensional code is included in the still image, the two-dimensional code described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-78973 includes the ID (identification information) of the two-dimensional code and the still image of the two-dimensional code. It has a feature that the position (coordinates) in the inside is acquired. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the information processing apparatus 101 has an application that detects the two-dimensional code and acquires the ID and the position (coordinates) in the still image.

The two-dimensional code may be any code as long as it can recognize a plurality of two-dimensional codes at one time. An example of the 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 (FIG. 6 as an example).

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

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

If there is an ID that is not registered in the master table (step S303: NO), the process shown in this flowchart ends. That is, the entrance is not unlocked so that no one other than the user who uses the conference room can use the conference room. At this time, error information indicating that the lock cannot be unlocked may be transmitted. The same applies when NO is determined in steps S304, S305, and S306.

In step S304, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 determines whether or not all the IDs acquired in step S302 belong to the same group by using the master table.

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

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

If IDs belonging to different groups are included (step S304: NO), the process 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 and the number of IDs belonging to the group determined in step S304 match. That is, it is determined whether all the IDs belonging to the same group can be acquired (whether there are any missing IDs).

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

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

In step S306, the CPU 201 of the information processing device 101 determines whether the number of IDs acquired in step S302 matches the number of people appearing in the video to be analyzed.

That is, it is determined whether or not one person has two or more two-dimensional codes. For example, even if it is determined in step S305 that there is no missing ID, if one person has two or more two-dimensional codes, all the people entering the room are not available. Become. Therefore, it is confirmed that all the members are in the process by this step.

The number of people 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 process of this flowchart ends.

In step S307, the CPU 201 of the information processing device 101 issues an instruction to unlock the lock system. Then, the processing of this flowchart ends.

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

The entrance to be unlocked is based on a data table (Fig. 11 as an example) in which the identification information of the network camera and the entrance monitored (in charge) by the network camera are associated with each other. , 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 composed of a group, a two-dimensional code information (ID), and a division.
<Second embodiment>

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 thereof is omitted here. The present embodiment (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, the master table shown in FIG. 7 is used.

In step S401, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 uses the face included in the image analyzed in step S302 and the face image specified by the ID acquired in step S302 (face image specified by the master table shown in FIG. 7). And to determine if they are the same person's face. 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 or not.

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

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

As described above, in the present embodiment, the face recognition process 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 tries to enter the room by impersonating the room, it is possible to prevent the other person from entering the room by combining with face recognition.
<Third embodiment>

Is omitted. 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, the master table shown in FIG. 8 is used.

In step S501, the CPU 201 of the information processing device 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, entry into the 206 conference room means that there must be two or more faces determined to be the same person. Similarly, it means that one 302 conference room and three or more reception rooms are required.

Which conference room you are going to enter can be specified 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 shown in this flowchart is terminated.
