[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In a conventional security management system, an administrator is required to install a monitoring device in a building. Therefore, there is a problem that the cost of security management increases.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
For security management, personal identification information detected in the building is compared with registered personal identification data to perform personal authentication. The registration, change, deletion, etc. of this personal identification data are managed at a place away from the building. When new personal identification data is registered or existing personal identification data is changed or deleted, the corresponding personal identification data is transmitted from outside the building to the inside of the building.
[0006]
According to this, security can be managed without an administrator in the building, so that security management costs are reduced.
[0007]
Other features of the present invention will become apparent from the description below.
[0008]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 shows a security management system according to one embodiment of the present invention.
[0009]
In a plurality of buildings 10, that is, buildings A and B, a building server 1 as a first information control device is installed. Each building server 1 is connected to the communication line 100, takes in data from the communication line 100, and sends out data to the communication line 100. In each building, a personal identification information detecting device for reading ID information as personal identification information from an ID card possessed by the user, that is, a card reader 2 (near the entrance of a plurality of rooms in which entry of the user is to be managed). C / R) is provided. The card reader 2 is connected to the building server 1 and transmits the detected ID information to the building server 1. The building server 1 collates the transmitted ID information with ID data that is personal identification data registered in the storage device 3 provided in the building server 1. As a result of the collation, if ID data matching the detected ID information is registered, a signal for unlocking the electric lock (not shown) is transmitted to the electric lock control device (not shown).
[0010]
A center 20 that manages the security of the building 10 is located away from the building 10. A center server 4 as a second information control device is installed in the center. The center server 4 is connected to the communication line 100, takes in data from the communication line 100, and sends out data to the communication line 100. Further, the center server 4 is connected to a database 5 (master DB) which is a database for storing user ID data of the building 10 and various data accompanying the ID data. The center server 4 can register, change, and delete data such as ID data in the database 5. Further, the center server 4 reads out the data stored in the database 5, sends out the data to the communication line 100, and transmits the data to the building server 1 via the communication line 100. Then, the building server 1 fetches the data transmitted from the center server 4 from the communication line 100 and registers the data in the storage device 3. The building server 1 performs personal authentication of a building user based on the data registered in the storage device 3.
[0011]
According to this security management system, data registered in a building can be managed by a center located away from the building. Therefore, there is no need to assign a manager to the building. Therefore, a person outside the building (for example, a building facility maintenance company) can perform security management inside the building. If a security management service is received from such a person outside the building, it is not necessary to have a manager in the building, and the management cost can be reduced. In addition, since personal authentication is performed by the building server using data registered in the storage device of the building server, the processing speed and reliability of personal authentication can be improved while performing data management at a center away from the building. There is no loss.
[0012]
FIG. 2 shows an example of building user ID data and associated data, that is, personal identification data, registered in the storage device of the building server and the database of the center. For each user, an ID code, entry restriction information indicating a place where the user can enter, and personal attribute information indicating an attribute of the user are registered. The entry restriction information includes data indicating a building, a room, and a time zone in which a user can enter. The data indicating the time zone may include month, day, and day of the week. Further, the personal attribute information includes data indicating the user's name, department, and work style (regular employee, dispatch, etc.). 2 is transmitted to the building server 1 by the center server 4 after being registered in the database 5 of the center 20 in FIG. When it is necessary to change or delete the ID data, entry restriction information, and personal attribute information, first, the corresponding data in the database 5 is changed or deleted. Thereafter, the data relating to the change or deletion is transmitted by the center server 4 to the building server 1 installed in the building corresponding to the data relating to the building included in the entry restriction information, and registered in the storage device 3 of the building server 1. The data is changed or deleted. The building server 1 performs personal authentication of a building user using the data registered, changed or deleted by the center server in this manner. In FIG. 1, when a user of the building A travels to the building B, the center is informed of the fact and the entry restriction information is added for the building B, and the room of the building B is used on the business day with the same ID card. You can enter the room. As described above, according to the system of the present embodiment, security in a plurality of buildings can be centrally managed by the center. Further, the case where the ID data is deleted includes the case where the ID card is lost. Also in this case, contacting the center can prevent unauthorized use of the ID card by another person.
[0013]
FIG. 3 shows a flow of an example of a security management method according to the present invention, which is executed in the system of FIG. First, a building user applies for the issuance of an ID card to the center (step S1). The center issues an ID card provided with ID information corresponding to a specific ID based on an application from a user, and registers entry restriction information and personal attribute information notified by the user at the time of the application in a database. (Step S2). Further, the center transmits the ID data corresponding to the user ID and the entry restriction information to the building server installed in the building indicated by the entry restriction information (step S3). If necessary, personal attribute information may also be transmitted. The transmitted ID data and the entry restriction information are registered in the storage device of the building server. When the building user inserts the ID card into the card reader (step S4), the building server collates the detected ID information with the ID data registered in the storage device (step S5). As a result of the comparison, if the two match, the electric lock is unlocked to allow the user to enter the room. If they do not match, an abnormal signal is sent to the center. When the center receives the abnormal signal, it dispatches itself to the building or notifies the building manager or a security company of the occurrence of the abnormality.
[0014]
FIG. 4 shows a flow of another example of the security management method according to the present invention, which is executed in the system of FIG. First, a building user notifies the center of a change in registration information (including cancellation or loss of an ID card) (step S1). The center corrects the entry restriction information or the personal attribute information registered in the database or deletes the ID data based on the notification from the user (step S2). Further, the center transmits the corrected information or the information on the deletion of the ID data to the building server installed in the building indicated by the entry restriction information (step S3). The transmitted information is registered in the storage device of the building server, or the ID data already registered in the storage device is deleted. Then, as in the flow of FIG. 3, when the building user inserts the ID card into the card reader (step S4), the building server collates the detected ID information with the ID data registered in the storage device (step S4). S5). The processing based on the result of the comparison is the same as in the case of FIG.
[0015]
FIG. 5 shows a security management system according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 shows only a system configuration in a building different from that of FIG. 1, and omits illustration of centers and communication lines having the same configuration as FIG. In FIG. 5, unlike FIG. 1, a plurality of building servers 1 are installed in a building, and each building server is connected to a card reader 2 provided in a different area in the building. Further, the plurality of building servers are connected by a communication line, and transmit and communicate data signals with each other. According to the present system, when an unregistered ID card is used in a certain area in a building, an abnormal signal can be transmitted to a building server installed in another area. Based on this abnormal signal, other areas can be quickly alerted that a suspicious person has entered. Note that the number of building servers to be installed is not limited to two as in the present embodiment, but a required number can be installed.
[0016]
FIG. 6 shows a security management system according to another embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 6, as in FIG. 5, only the system configuration in the building is shown. In FIG. 6, a building 10 includes a common unit 11 shared by users and a dedicated unit 12 occupied and used by each user. In the dedicated unit 12, unlike the embodiment of FIG. 1, the building server 1 and the card reader 2 are connected to the dedicated unit via the room server 6, which is a third information control device, for each dedicated unit. In the dedicated unit 12, information such as ID data transmitted from the center is registered in a storage device in the room server 6 for each dedicated unit. The ID information detected by the card reader 2 and the ID data registered in the living room server 6 are collated by the living room server 6. If the two match, the electric lock of the dedicated section is unlocked. This system is suitable for an apartment house such as a condominium where services provided by the dedicated unit and the common unit are different.
[0017]
In each of the above embodiments, the ID information detected by the card reader can be sequentially recorded as the entry history on the building server or the room server. Further, the recorded entry history can be transmitted from the building server to the center at predetermined time intervals or in accordance with a command from the center, and can be registered in the center database.
[0018]
Each of the above embodiments can be applied to various buildings such as a commercial building and an apartment house. As the information control device, not only a server but also various control devices such as a PC, a workstation, and a dedicated terminal can be used.
