Detailed Description of the Invention [Industrial applications]

The present invention relates to a lock system applied to, for example, a safe deposit box device and other closing systems.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, a safe deposit box installed in a bank or the like has a structure in which a large number of safe deposit boxes based on individual contracts with customers are arranged in a stack in a safe deposit box room with limited entrances and exits. And
On the front door of each safe deposit box, a customer lock that can be unlocked with a key individually owned by each customer and a bank lock that can be unlocked with a key managed by a bank safe deposit officer are placed in a pile. If the customer uses the safe deposit box under the contract, the receptionist section informs the person in charge of that fact to the person in charge on the bank side, and both the person in charge on the bank side and the customer accompany the safe deposit box, and first, the safe deposit room The person in charge of the bank opens the door of the entrance with the authentication card or possession key and enters the room, and also accompanies the customer in front of the safe deposit box to unlock the bank lock, and finally the customer unlocks the customer lock. It required extremely troublesome cooperation work and procedures such as locking. Therefore, every time a large number of customers visit the bank and offer to use it, the bank staff in charge of the safe deposit box accompanies them, and the labor burden on the bank always accompanies the problem that the cost of using the safe deposit box is reduced. there were. Therefore, for example, it has a bank lock attached to each door of the safe deposit box arranged in the safe deposit box, a lock provided at the entrance of the safe deposit box, and a magnetic material. An unlocking unit that also has an unlocking function for the bank lock and the room lock, and an authentication for unlocking the bank lock and the room lock on a magnetic body of the unlocking unit at a reception section apart from the safe deposit box. While having an encoder for writing a code with magnetic characteristic information, a reader for entering the room and a reader for exiting the unlocking unit, when the customer enters or leaves the room, the authentication code is decrypted to authenticate the electronic unlocking of the room lock. When the user leaves the room, the unlocking device is provided with a detecting means for instructing the storage unit to take in the unlocking unit after the decoding (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-173473).
No.) is proposed. By the way, in this proposal, as a means for operating the encoder, an input means of an information signal by a magnetic card carried by the customer himself is used. However, even with this proposal, some problems remain in this solution. That is, since the user of the safe deposit box always has a magnetic card for operating the encoder and an unlocking unit having a magnetic material when he / she enters the safe deposit box, he / she may inadvertently overlap the both. Therefore, since the information signal recorded on the magnetic card is erased and it cannot be used anymore, the procedure for issuing the magnetic card must be taken again. There is a big problem that it is extremely troubled. Further, although the number of users of the safe deposit box has been increasing recently, if the unlocking information signal in the unlocking unit is a magnetizing signal as described above, the magnetizing signal cannot increase the density. In order to cope with the increase in the number of safe deposit boxes (to cope with the increase in the number of signals), it is necessary to increase the size of the unlocking unit and the bank lock so that the number of signals can be increased. On the other hand, since there is a limit to the size of the safe deposit box, it is necessary to reduce the occupied space per safe deposit box in order to increase the number of safe deposit boxes. However, the above-mentioned proposed method has a limit to cope with the increase in the number of safe deposit boxes and is insufficient.

【Example】

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the lock system according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 is an IC card, and this IC card 1 is issued by an IC card issuing machine 2 and is held by a user A of the safe deposit box 3. To issue this IC card 1 from the IC card issuing machine 2, insert the magnetic card 4 owned by the user A of the safe deposit box 3 into the IC card issuing machine 2 and use the predetermined ten-key to enter the user A's PIN number. When is input and a predetermined operation is subsequently applied, the IC card 1 stored in a predetermined position in the IC card issuing machine 2 is conveyed to the IC card recording device 5,
The IC card recording device 5 records an information signal unique to the user A on the IC card 1, and the IC card 1 of this information signal is recorded.
After recording to this IC card 1, this IC card is the outlet of the IC card issuing machine 2.
It will be issued from 2a. The IC card 1 on which a predetermined information signal issued by the IC card issuing machine 2 is recorded is held in the hand of the user A, and is installed outside the safe deposit box 5'where many safe deposit boxes 3 are installed. When the IC card 1 is inserted into the entry reader 6 that is installed, the information signal of the IC card 1 is read, and if the recorded information signal is correct, the door 7 of the safe deposit box 5'is opened for a predetermined time. It Before and after the door 7 is opened, the user A takes out the IC card 1 inserted in the entrance reader 6 and
Enter the safe deposit box 5'with your hand in hand. After a predetermined time elapses after the door 7 is opened, the door 7 is automatically closed, so that only the user A is in the safe deposit box 5 '. User A who has entered the safe deposit box 5'and has reached the position of his own safe deposit box 3 inserts the IC card 1 into the lock device 9 provided on the door 8 of the safe deposit box 3, When the information signal is read and the information signal is correct, the plunger lock of the lock device 9 is released, so that the lock device 9 can be slid. Therefore, the user A slides the lock device 9,
Since the door 8 can be opened by inserting a key into the key hole whose surface is covered by the lock device 9 and unlocking the door, the user A opens and closes the important item. When the important object is put in and out, the user A closes the door 8, locks the key and removes the key from the key hole, and then slides the lock device 9 to the original position to cover the surface of the key hole with the lock device 9. . After that, the IC card 1 is removed from the lock device 9, the IC card 1 is inserted into the exit leader 10 installed in the safe deposit box 5 ', and the IC card 1 is removed by the erasing device 11 built in the exit reader 10. Erase the recorded information signal. Then, the IC card 1 is erased 11 by the exit leader 10.
The user confirmed that the information signal was erased by the erasing device 11 if necessary (the confirmation was made with this IC.
After inserting the card 1 into the lock device 9 and confirming that it has been erased if the lock device 9 cannot be moved), after inserting the IC card 1 into the IC card slot 10a of the exit leader 10, Sensor that has been thrown
12 detected by this the door 7 of the safe deposit box 5 '
Is opened. A closing member 13 is provided at the IC card slot 10a, and the closing member 13 detects the information signal of the IC card 1 by the erasing device 11 when the sensor 14 detects it, or When the sensor 14 detects that 1 has been inserted into the erasing device 11, the closing member 13 is driven by the output signal of the sensor 14, the IC card insertion opening 10a is opened, and the IC card 1 is inserted into the IC card. Since it can be inserted into the exit leader 10 from the mouth 10a, the IC card 1 in which the information signal is not erased is the exit leader 10
It is designed to prevent mistakes made inside. When the door 7 of the safe deposit box 5'is opened, the user A
Can be taken out of the safe deposit box room, and the door 7 is automatically closed after a predetermined time elapses after the door 7 is opened. It should be noted that when a certain number of the IC cards 1 are accumulated in the exit leader 10, this is detected by the sensor and the bank staff is informed of that fact.
Go inside and take out the IC card 1 from the exit leader 10 and put it in the IC card issuing machine 2. In the lock system configured as described above, an inexpensive magnetic card 4 is used as a thing to be handed to each user of the safe deposit box to operate the IC card issuing machine 2. As the installer of the safe deposit box 3, since the magnetic card 4 currently used can be used as it is, even if it is applied to the existing safe deposit box system, it can be carried out without making a great change. Since the user A holds the IC card 1 in addition to the unique magnetic card 4 when using the safe deposit box 3, the magnetic card 4 and the IC card 1 are inadvertently superposed. In that case, the information signal recorded in each is not lost or changed, and therefore the procedure for reissuing the magnetic card 4 is significantly reduced. Further, since the IC card 1 is used to operate the lock device 9 of the safe deposit box 3, even if the number of safe deposit boxes 3 increases, a small IC card 1 can be used, that is, a limited size. If a large number of safe deposit boxes 3 are to be installed in the safe deposit box room 5, the space occupied by each safe deposit box 3 must be reduced, and the lock device 9 must be reduced accordingly. Since the amount of information for unlocking increases as the number of locks increases, the lock device must be increased in size.
If an IC device is used, even small ones can be handled sufficiently. That is, according to the system of the present invention, it is possible to sufficiently cope with the increase in the safe deposit box 3. Further, when an unlocking unit having a magnetic material is used as a means for releasing the lock device 9 as proposed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 173473/1984, the lock device 9 is naturally magnetized accordingly. You have to set up your body. However, if the lock device 9 is provided with a magnetic material in this way, in the case where an important object stored in the safe deposit box 3 is an information carrier such as a floppy disk which is inputted by a magnetic recording signal, it is incorporated in the lock device. There is a big problem that it can be erased by the magnetic substance that has been created, and the items that can be stored in the safe deposit box are also limited. On the other hand, if the IC card 1 is used as a means for operating the lock device 9 as in the present invention, there is no need to use a magnetic material for the lock device 9, and therefore it is possible to use a magnetic disk in the safe deposit box. Even if you store such a thing, the problem of erasing recorded information does not occur at all. Further, since some IC cards have a type having an internal power source, if the IC card of this type is used, the lock device 9 itself does not require a power source. Therefore, if the lock device 9 is slightly changed, the current safe deposit box is used. Can be implemented without significant changes to
Further, even when there is a power failure, the lock device 9 can be unlocked and the safe deposit box can be used. Further, according to the present invention, it is not necessary for the installer to accompany each time the safe deposit box is used, the labor cost of the installer can be reduced, and the user can act independently, which is a secret. This is preferable for both users and installers because it reduces the psychological burden when they want to keep it.

Medium is a collection hand In order to operate the IC recording medium issuing means, it is configured to open the door for a predetermined time after confirming that it has been collected with the sensor and automatically close the door after the predetermined time has elapsed. Inexpensive magnetic recording media are used to be handed to each user, and the magnetic recording media currently in use can be used as they are, for example, as an installer of a safe deposit box. Even if it is applied, it can be implemented without making significant changes. In addition, since what the user holds at the time of use is the IC recording medium in addition to the unique magnetic recording medium, even if the magnetic recording medium and the IC recording medium are inadvertently overlapped with each other. , The information signal recorded in each is not lost or changed, and therefore the procedure for reissuing the magnetic recording medium is significantly reduced. Further, since the IC recording medium is used to operate the lock means for the door of the small chamber, even if the number of small chambers increases, a small IC recording medium can be used, that is, a safe box of a limited size, for example. It can accommodate a large number of safe deposit boxes in a room. Further, since the unlocking unit having the magnetic material is not used as the means for releasing the locking means, and only the IC recording medium is used, there is no need to use the magnetic material for the locking means, and therefore the small chamber Even if the important object to be stored in is an information carrier such as a floppy disk which is inputted with a magnetic recording signal, the problem of erasing recorded information does not occur. Also, for example, when it is applied to a safe deposit box, it is not necessary for the person on the installation side to accompany each time when using it,
It is preferable for both the user and the installer that the labor cost of the installer can be reduced and that the user can act independently, which reduces the psychological burden when wanting to keep it secret.
