  The present invention relates to a technology for managing entry / exit in facilities and the like, and in particular, applied to an entrance / exit management system for managing entry / exit for temporary visitors in a facility such as a data center that needs to ensure security. It is related to effective technology.

  In facilities such as data centers and office buildings, in addition to employees who are regularly allowed to enter and leave, for example, the person in charge of a customer who is entrusting the operation of an information processing system to the data center There are also temporary visitors such as emigration and importers. In order to prevent such information leakage by visitors and to ensure security, facilities such as data centers usually manage visitor entry and exit, and permitted persons are permitted on the permitted date and time. Restrict access to only the designated areas.

  Conventionally, such management is often performed manually, such as confirmation of a visit at the entrance of a facility, collation with a face photo of an identification card by a security guard, etc., and baggage inspection. At the same time, there is a problem that it is complicated for visitors and the time for restraint is long.

  On the other hand, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-197535 (Patent Document 1) discloses a visitor explicit information transmission means for transmitting visitor explicit information when a visitor visits, and an identification code for specifying the visitor. A visitor information processing device that generates admission permission information including an identification code based on the transmitted visitor explicit information and determines whether or not the visitor can enter, and admission permission including the identification code Depending on the card issuing means that issues an identification card with recorded information to the visitor and the identification code read from the visitor's identification card inserted in the gate, a gate open / close control signal is sent to the gate to control the gate open / close The gate opening and closing control device that enables the entrance / exit area of the visitor to be unmanned, and the entrance / exit security that can achieve smooth entrance / exit management and improved security. It describes a management system.

  Also, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-171350 (Patent Document 2), a visit reception device transmits a reception number corresponding to visit schedule information to a visitor's terminal, and an admission card issuance device inputs an acceptance number. The receipt number is sent to the visit acceptance device, the visit acceptance device sends the authentication information to the admission card issuance device, and the admission card issuance device prints the authentication information on a print medium and outputs it. Reads the authentication information in response to the presentation of the print medium, and transmits the authentication information to the visit acceptance device. The visit acceptance device determines whether or not to enter the building, and transmits control information based on the determination result to the entrance gate device. The gate device describes a technique for managing entrance and exit of visitors at low cost while ensuring security by operating the gate based on control information.

<Overview>
The entrance / exit management system according to one embodiment of the present invention is a security process such as acceptance of visitor application at a facility such as a data center, issuance of an admission card, inspection of inspections, inspection and gate control. In addition, the system performs integrated entry / exit processing and management processing, such as recording and tracking of these processing histories.

  In the following, first, taking a data center to which the entrance / exit management system of the present embodiment is applied as an example, a visitor who has applied for entrance enters the CPU area, which is a security area, from the entrance of the data center. An outline of the procedure and flow will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an outline of an example of an entrance process when a visitor moves from the entrance to the CPU area. Here, the layout of the entrance hall of the data center and the route of visitor movement are shown schematically.

  A visitor who enters from the entrance on the left side of the figure first operates the reception terminal 40 at an unattended check-in counter in the entrance lobby, and designates the reception number received at the time of prior application for admission. It is issued with two types of cards. In the case where a prior application for entry has not been made, for example, an emergency application terminal 43 provided on the side of the check-in counter may be used to make an application for entry. After receiving the admission card from the reception terminal 40, the carried luggage is deposited in the electronic locker 71 as necessary.

  After that, we move to the inspection preparation place to prepare for inspection of the brought-in items. At the inspection preparation location, based on the application details of the carry-on items that were previously applied at the time of admission application, the bar code for identifying each carry-on and the list of correspondence between the carry-in and the barcode The vote is issued / printed by the barcode issuing terminal 72. Visitors affix the issued barcode to each item they bring. Thereafter, in parallel with the X-ray inspection with the brought-in thing at the X-ray inspection apparatus 51, the visitor checks whether or not the suspicious object is hidden through the body scanner 52. Note that the suspicious objects to be used here are mainly electric / electronic devices, apparatuses, and media.

  For each item that has passed through the X-ray inspection apparatus 51, an attendant reads the barcode attached to each item with a bar code reader 74 connected to the inspection terminal 73 and collates it with the contents of the inspection slip. By doing so, make sure that each carry-on is no different from what you applied for in advance. When the inspection of the brought-in items is completed, the gate / door 54 can be opened using the admission card to enter the CPU area. When there are a plurality of gates / doors 54 after entering the CPU area up to the final visited CPU area, it is opened using the admission card each time. The contents of the actions of visitors and staff in the entrance floor and CPU area are photographed by the surveillance camera 53 and recorded as image data.

  As described above, the issuance of an unmanned admission certificate using the reception terminal 40 and the inspection work of the brought-in items using the bar code realizes a significant increase in the efficiency of the admission process, as well as the X-ray inspection apparatus 51 and the body. The security is improved by strengthening the function of detecting illegally carried items using the scanner 52.

<System configuration>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an outline of a configuration example of an entrance / exit management system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The entrance / exit management system 1 of this embodiment includes, for example, an entrance / exit management server 10, a reception terminal 40, an X-ray inspection apparatus 51, a body scanner 52, a monitoring camera 53, a gate / door 54, an electronic locker 71, a bar The configuration includes a code issuing terminal 72, an inspection terminal 73, and a barcode reader 74.

  The entrance / exit management server 10 is a computer system that is arranged inside or outside a facility that manages entrance / exit, such as a data center, and includes server devices connected to a network in the facility. The entrance / exit management server 10 includes components such as an application processing unit 11, an authentication unit 12, an entrance / exit management unit 13, a log management unit 14, and a log inquiry unit 15 implemented by a software program. Each table includes an entrance information database (DB) 21, a finger vein / face photograph DB 22, a visitor information DB 23, a card information DB 24, and an integrated log DB 25 that are implemented by a database, a file table, and the like.

  The application processing unit 11 receives an entry application information and registers it in the entrance information DB 21. In the example of FIG. 1, an applicant (for example, an approver such as a visitor himself or a visitor's superior) uses the applicant terminal 30 to access the application processing unit 11 via a network 31 such as the Internet. The application is processed directly. Here, the applicant terminal 30 is an information processing terminal such as a PC used by the applicant. In this case, for example, the application processing unit 11 is implemented so as to provide a service related to an application for entry as a Web application program that runs on a Web server program (not shown), and a Web browser (not shown) on the applicant terminal 30 It can be set as the structure accessed.

  In addition to such a configuration, for example, a web application program for application for admission is built on another Web server, and information on the application for admission from the applicant terminal 30 is temporarily received by the Web server. After that, the person in charge of entering and leaving the data center, the registrant, etc. can regularly register the received application information in the admission information DB 21 via the application processing unit 11 in a batch. It is. In this case, the application processing unit 11 does not need to have an interface for application for entry by a Web application or the like for the applicant, and may be an input method in a format for reading a data file, for example.

  The information on the application for admission includes, for example, the name of each visitor, the e-mail address of the contact information, the visit date / visit period, the desired entry area, the list of items brought in and brought out. The application processing unit 11 confirms the contents of the application for admission, and if there are no deficiencies, it assigns a unique reception number and associates the admission information with the admission information and registers it in the admission information DB 21 and visits the visitor information. Registered in the user information DB 23. Further, the contents of the registered application for admission, and information including the reception number and a barcode obtained by encoding it are transmitted to the applicant and each visitor by e-mail. The barcode may be a general one-dimensional barcode or a two-dimensional barcode such as a QR code (registered trademark).

  The authentication unit 12 performs identity verification by finger vein authentication when a person registered in the entrance information DB 21 and the visitor information DB 23 visits the facility. In the present embodiment, the reception terminal 40 reads the visitor's finger veins and performs verification and identity verification by collating with the finger vein information registered in the finger vein / face photograph DB 22.

  The entrance / exit management unit 13 manages and controls the execution of a series of entrance / exit processes when a visitor registered in the visitor information DB 23 visits the facility. For example, in response to a request based on the operation of a visitor or an attendant on the reception terminal 40, the corresponding entry application information is called from the entrance information DB 21 to respond, or the admission card issued at the reception terminal 40 Control of the receiving terminal 40 such as recording information in the card information DB 24 is performed. Further, the locker number assigned by the electronic locker 71 is recorded in the entrance information DB 21. Further, the application information of the brought-in item registered in the entrance information DB 21 is passed to the barcode issuing terminal 72 and the inspection terminal 73, and the inspection result by the barcode reader 74 is received from the inspection terminal 73 to enter the entrance information DB 21. To record. Further, the history and trail of processing related to these entrances and exits are recorded in the integrated log DB 25 in a predetermined format.

  The log management unit 14 collects or accepts processing result and processing history information from each device and apparatus such as the X-ray inspection apparatus 51, the body scanner 52, the monitoring camera 53, and the gate / door 54, and receives a predetermined format. And recorded as a history in the integrated log DB 25. Based on the processing history and the like recorded in the integrated log DB 25, the log inquiry unit 15 obtains trail data for responding to the audit, for example, by an instruction via the administrator terminal 60 by a person in charge of entering or leaving the building. Inquiries are performed such as counting, tracking behaviors using specific visitors and brought-in keys when security incidents occur, and creating report information by counting statistical information. Here, the manager terminal 60 is an information processing terminal such as a PC used by a person in charge of entering and leaving the building. In addition, the structure which consists of the log management part 14, the log inquiry part 15, integrated log DB25 grade | etc., Can utilize suitably the well-known integrated log management technique, product, etc., for example.

  The reception terminal 40 is constituted by, for example, a so-called kiosk terminal (multimedia station: MMS), and in addition to an input / output function for receiving an operation instruction using a touch panel or the like, a digital camera, a barcode reader, finger vein reading, and an entrance certificate Has functions such as printing and issuing. You may have the function of the IC card reader based on FeliCa (trademark) etc.

  The barcode reader function reads the barcode (reception number) information that was sent in advance by e-mail to the prospective visitors at the time of entry application, and the corresponding entry application from the entry information DB 21 via the entry / exit management unit 13 Can be called. In addition, the finger vein reading unit reads the finger vein information of the visitor and newly registers it in the finger vein / face photo DB 22 via the entrance / exit management unit 13 or performs authentication processing via the authentication unit 12. Can go. In addition, a photograph of a visitor's face can be taken by the camera function and registered in the finger vein / face photograph DB 22 via the entrance / exit management unit 13.

  In addition, the admission card issuance function can output and issue an admission card to visitors. In this embodiment, it is assumed that two types of cards, a guest card 41 and an admission card 42, are issued as admission cards. Here, the guest card 41 is a card for security guards or staff members to identify the visitor himself / herself by appearance. For example, the name, affiliation company / department, etc. obtained from the contents of the visitor's entry application are visited. In addition to information such as date, period, and desired area for entry, the card is a card on which face photo data taken by the camera function and registered in the finger vein / face photo DB 22 is printed. The guest card 41 is made of, for example, a medium that can be easily discarded, such as paper, and does not need to be collected when leaving the building.

  On the other hand, the entrance card 42 is a card that holds data for opening the gate / door 54 and controlling various devices, apparatuses, and facilities. This is an IC card conforming to FeliCa (registered trademark) or the like that holds information for specifying a gate / door 54 that can be used as data. Since it is an IC card, it should be collected and reused when leaving the building. Information on the issued admission card 42 (including card validity / invalidity information) is recorded in the card information DB 24 via the admission / exit management unit 13, for example.

  In the case of an employee, etc. who is allowed to enter or leave the target data center or other facilities regularly (hereinafter sometimes referred to simply as “employee”), If you have an IC card, you can use this to skip issuing the admission card 42. In addition, when information such as a face photograph is displayed on the employee ID card, issuance of the guest card 41 can be skipped.

  Thus, by separating the guest card 41 for identifying the visitor and the entrance card 42 for opening the gate / door 54, only information unique to the temporary visitor is printed, In addition, the guest card 41 that does not have data related to the control of the data center facilities can be made unnecessary to be collected and discarded without security risk. Also, the admission card 42, which is an IC card, is only rewritten on the IC chip when it is issued, and there is no need to print information unique to the visitor on the front surface. It can be easily performed.

  The X-ray inspection apparatus 51 is an apparatus similar to that generally used in airport security inspection stations and the like, for example, by taking X-rays of a carry-on object that has moved on a conveyor and acquiring image data. . Further, in the present embodiment, the body scanner 52 detects suspicious objects other than metals, such as electrical / electronic devices that cannot be detected by a gate-shaped metal detector generally used in airport security inspection stations, etc. High-performance inspection equipment that can The body scanner 52 can, for example, irradiate a weak millimeter wave to a visitor to perform a fluoroscopic inspection of a suspicious object inside the clothes, and can schematically display the inspection result on the image of the doll. As the body scanner 52, a general gate-shaped metal detection device may be used instead of such a high-performance device.

  The X-ray inspection apparatus 51 and the body scanner 52 have, for example, an IC card reader function or cooperate with the IC card reader to perform inspection after reading information on the visitor's entrance card 42 or employee ID. Further, the image data of the inspection result is stored in the entrance / exit management server 10 or the like, and the log management unit 14 associates the information such as the file name and path with the identification information recorded on the entrance card 42 or the employee ID card. To the integrated log DB 25.

  The surveillance camera 53 always shoots the entrance lobby, inspection preparation place, inspection place, CPU area, etc., and stores the shooting data in the entrance / exit management server 10 and the log management unit 14 for information such as the file name and path. To the integrated log DB 25. In particular, the situation at the time of inspection by reading a bar code affixed to a carried item by the bar code reader 74 at the inspection place is photographed and stored. Thereby, it is possible to save a trail that the carry-in object to be inspected is actually confirmed without taking a complicated process of photographing the carry-in object with a digital camera or the like. A camera that captures the status of the inspection process may be provided separately from the monitoring camera 53.

  The gate / door 54 is a structure such as a gate or a door for restricting a visitor's entry / exit for each section of an area where security such as a CPU area needs to be secured. It has the function of an IC card reader, reads the data recorded on the entrance card 42 and the employee ID card that are presented, and determines whether or not to open the gate or the like. The determination result of whether to permit opening or the history of opening is recorded in the integrated log DB 25 via the log management unit 14.

  The electronic locker 71 is a locker system that can electronically control the opening and closing of the doors of each locker. For example, when the reception terminal 40 receives a visitor, an entrance locker 13 automatically opens an empty locker. The locker number can be assigned and notified to the visitor via the reception terminal 40, and can be recorded in association with the information of the entrance card 42 issued to the entrance information DB 21 or the like. Information on the assigned locker number may be recorded on the admission card 42. The history information to which the locker number is assigned is recorded in the integrated log DB 25.

  The electronic locker 71 has the function of an IC card reader or cooperates with the IC card reader to read the data recorded on the entrance card 42 or the employee ID card presented by the visitor, and assigned to the entrance information DB 21 or the like. Unlock and open the locker door corresponding to the recorded locker number, and notify the location by turning on the indicator light. Locks automatically when a visitor puts luggage in the locker and closes the door.

  Similarly, when reading the data recorded on the entrance card 42 or employee card presented by the visitor to the IC card reader of the electronic locker 71, the locker number corresponding to the locker number recorded in the entrance information DB 21 or the like is read. The door is unlocked and opened, and the location is notified by turning on the indicator light. For example, when a visitor performs a locker return confirmation operation at the reception terminal 40 after taking out the package, the entrance / exit management unit 13 cancels the assignment of the target locker to the visitor and moves the locker to another visitor. In addition, a return history is recorded in the integrated log DB 25.

  The bar code issuing terminal 72 is an information processing terminal such as a PC and has an IC card reader function, or in cooperation with the IC card reader, the data recorded on the admission card 42 or employee ID presented by the visitor. When read, the application information of the carry-in recorded in the entrance information DB 21 is acquired, and based on this, a barcode to be attached to each carry-on is generated and printed on a peelable sticker mount or the like A list of correspondence between each brought-in item and the barcode is printed as an inspection slip.

  For example, if the serial number is known in the application information of the brought-in item, the barcode is generated by encoding the barcode. In the case of a device whose serial number is known and the corresponding barcode is already pasted, generation of a pasting barcode can be made unnecessary. When the serial number is unknown, a unique number is newly generated, and a barcode generated based on the unique number is used. As a general rule, the bar code is used as fixed data that can be reused at the time of admission as a bar code for identifying the brought-in items.

  The bar code generated here may be a general one-dimensional bar code or a QR code (registration) in the same manner as the bar code sent to the visitor by e-mail upon the admission application described above. A two-dimensional barcode such as a trademark may be used.

  The inspection terminal 73 is an information processing terminal such as a PC, and has an IC card reader function, or in cooperation with the IC card reader, reads the data recorded on the entrance card 42 or employee ID presented by the visitor. The application information of the brought-in item recorded in the entrance information DB 21 is acquired and displayed. Moreover, it has a portable bar code reader 74, reads the bar code affixed to each carried item, and the bar code printed on the inspection slip, and transmits the contents to the inspection terminal 73.

  The inspection terminal 73 compares the bar code affixed to the brought-in item with the bar code printed on the inspection slip to confirm the match, and uses the result as the inspection result via the entrance / exit management unit 13. Record in the DB 21 and record in the integrated log DB 25 as a history. The barcode verification process may be performed on the barcode reader 74 if possible, or may be performed by the entrance / exit management unit 13.

<Processing content>
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an outline of an example of a flow of an entrance application process for accepting an entrance application in advance in the entrance / exit management server 10 of the present embodiment. First, the applicant accesses the application program for application for admission provided by the application processing unit 11 or another Web server system via the applicant terminal 30, and the prospective visitor (there may be a plurality of visitors or the applicant himself / herself). The process for obtaining the approval of the approver by inputting the information related to the application for admission (which may be included) is executed (S01). When the approval process is completed, the application processing unit 11 receives information on the application for admission and determines whether or not admission is permitted (S02). Here, the application processing unit 11 may automatically determine admission permission or not, and once the admission application is received, the data center admission manager or the like separately performs permission determination and inputs the result. May be. If you refuse to enter the building, reply to the applicant to that effect.

  When permitting admission, information on admission application is registered in the admission information DB 21 (S03). At this time, a unique reception number is assigned to each prospective visitor, and a barcode obtained by encoding this is prepared. If the prospective visitor is an employee, the employee number information is also stored as key information for identifying the application information. Note that the registration process may be automatically performed by the application processing unit 11, or the person in charge of entrance management may manually register data in the entrance information DB 21 via the application processing unit 11 or the like.

  When the application information is registered in the admission information DB 21, the application processing unit 11 sends the contents of the registered immigration application to the e-mail address of the applicant and the prospective visitor included in the admission application information, and the reception number. And the information including the barcode are transmitted by e-mail as an application acceptance mail (S04). Even if the prospective visitor does not directly apply for the admission application, he / she can surely obtain the contents of the admission application and the information necessary for admission by receiving the application acceptance mail (S05). . As a result, it is possible to reduce the workload associated with the application process of the applicant or the prospective visitor, and to reduce the risk of communication leakage.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an outline of an example of the flow of admission reception processing in which the visitor enters the first time in the entrance / exit management server 10 of the present embodiment. A visitor who has applied for an admission in advance by the processing shown in the example of FIG. 3 or who has applied for admission using the emergency application terminal 43 of the check-in counter first displays the screen of the check-in counter reception terminal 40. The user operates to call up information on his / her admission application registered in the admission information DB 21 (S11). The visitor may not operate the reception terminal 40 directly, but may be operated by a staff member who has received a request from the visitor. The reception terminal 40 displays information on the called application for entry on the screen.

  Specifically, for example, by operating the screen of the reception terminal 40, instructing that it is the first entry by pressing the corresponding button, etc., the barcode included in the application reception mail received at the time of entry application is received by the reception terminal Present to 40 barcode readers. The reception terminal 40 transmits the reception number obtained from the read barcode to the entrance / exit management server 10. If the visitor does not have the barcode displayed by printing or the like, the value of the reception number included in the application reception mail may be directly input to the reception terminal 40.

  The entrance / exit management unit 13 of the entrance / exit management server 10 obtains information on the entrance application corresponding to the received or input reception number from the entrance information DB 21 and responds to the reception terminal 40. In the case where the visitor is an employee or the like and has an employee card consisting of an IC card, the employee card is displayed on the IC card reader of the reception terminal 40 without using a barcode, and the employee number is displayed. The information about the application for admission may be called using, for example, the key.

  Thereafter, based on the information of the called application for entry, a security guard or a staff member visually confirms the visitor's identity (S12). At this time, the visitor will be presented with an identification card with a face photo, and identity verification will be performed based on this and information on the admission application. If you are unable to confirm your identity, you will be refused entry. When the identity verification is completed, the visitor registers the finger vein data for authentication (S13). Here, the finger vein reading unit of the reception terminal 40 acquires the finger vein data of the visitor and registers it in the finger vein / face photo DB 22 together with the registration date information via the entrance / exit management unit 13.

  Thereafter, a face photograph to be printed on the guest card 41 is taken and data is registered (S14). Here, for example, a photograph of the visitor's face is taken by the camera function of the reception terminal 40, and the image data is registered in the finger vein / face photograph DB 22 via the entrance / exit management unit 13. A face photo data file may be stored on the entrance / exit management server 10 and information such as the file name and path may be registered in the finger vein / face photo DB 22. Note that if the visitor is an employee and has an employee ID card with a face photo, shooting is not necessary.

  Thereafter, the admission rule including the rules and restrictions for entering the building, the pledge for confidentiality, and the agreement / disagreement buttons are displayed on the reception terminal 40, and the visitor confirms the consent (S15). If the visitor agrees with the entrance rules, the reception terminal 40 issues an entrance certificate (S16). Here, a guest card 41 printed with a face photo, name, and the like, and an admission card 42, which is an IC card in which information such as a reception number for specifying an admission application is written in a built-in memory, are issued. If the visitor is an employee, the guest card 41 is not issued because there is an employee ID card with a face photo. Information on the issued entrance card 42 is recorded in the card information DB 24 via the entrance / exit management unit 13.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an outline of an example of a flow of admission reception processing in which a visitor enters the second and subsequent entrances in the entrance / exit management server 10 of the present embodiment. The visitor who has applied for admission first operates the screen of the reception terminal 40 in the same way as at the first admission, and calls the information on his / her admission application registered in the admission information DB 21 (S21). Here, for example, by operating the screen of the reception terminal 40 and instructing that it is normal (second or later) entry by pressing the corresponding button, etc., it is included in the application reception mail received at the time of application for admission The barcode is presented to the barcode reader of the reception terminal 40.

  In step S21, when the entrance / exit management unit 13 acquires information on the application for entrance from the entrance information DB 21, information on the registration date of the finger vein data of the visitor registered in the finger vein / face photo DB 22 is further acquired. Based on this, it is confirmed whether or not the finger vein data is within the expiration date (S22). For example, if one year or more has passed since the registration date, the expiration date is expired and the finger vein data is updated and registered by the visitor at the reception terminal 40 by the same processing as step S13 in FIG.

  When the finger vein data is within the expiration date, or when the finger vein data is updated and registered, finger vein authentication is performed as identity verification of the visitor (S23). Here, the finger vein reading unit of the reception terminal 40 reads the visitor's finger vein, and the authentication unit 12 compares the read data with the finger vein data registered in the finger vein / face photograph DB 22 to determine whether or not they match. Check. In the case of the second and subsequent entrances, the identity verification is performed by this finger vein authentication, so that the identity verification by the security guard or the like as shown in FIG. 4 is unnecessary. In addition, when it is rejected by finger vein authentication, for example, a retry is permitted up to a predetermined number of times, and if it is not authenticated even after a predetermined number of times, it is treated as the first entry and is shown in FIG. The process may be performed again.

  The subsequent processing (S24 to S26) is the same as steps S14 to S16 in FIG. As described above, since all of the visitors perform identity verification by finger vein authentication, a mechanism that does not permit the borrowing / borrowing of the entrance card 42 is provided, and security is improved. In addition, it is possible to greatly reduce the work load required for verifying the identity of a visitor manually by collation with a face photograph.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an outline of an example of the flow of the inspection preparation process for the brought-in items of the visitor in the entrance / exit management server 10 of the present embodiment. First, a visitor operates the screen of the barcode issuing terminal 72 installed in the inspection preparation place, and inputs a bring-in date (and a take-out date) (S31). The default value is today's date. Further, the admission card 42 (or employee ID card) is presented to the IC card reader, and the application information for the brought-in items is called (S32). Here, based on the receipt number read by the IC card reader, the entrance / exit management unit 13 of the entrance / exit management server 10 uses the entrance information DB 21 to enter the receipt number on the carry-in date entered in step S31. The application information of the brought-in item corresponding to the admission application is acquired and responded to the barcode issuing terminal 72.

  The barcode issuing terminal 72 displays the contents of the acquired application information of the brought-in items on the screen, and the visitor confirms the displayed contents (S33). For example, the visitor inputs that he / she has confirmed his / her application content by pressing a confirmation button displayed on the screen. Thereafter, the barcode issuing terminal 72 receives the printing instruction and prints the inspection slip and the barcode to be attached to each brought-in item (S34). The barcode for pasting is associated with the carry-on listed in the inspection slip by a serial number or the like, and the barcode corresponding to each carry-on is pasted while referring to this (S35). In addition, as mentioned above, when the barcode which coded the serial number of the apparatus is attached | subjected to a carry-in thing, sticking is unnecessary.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an outline of an example of the flow of visitor body scan and carry-in X-ray inspection processing in the entrance / exit management server 10 of the present embodiment. When the visitor goes from the inspection preparation place to the inspection place, the visitor inspects the carry-in thing by the X-ray inspection apparatus 51 and inspects the holding of the suspicious object by passing through the body scanner 52.

  The visitor first presents his / her admission card 42 (or employee ID card) to the IC card reader in the X-ray inspection apparatus 51, and sets the visitor information (S41). After that, an attendant or the like places the carry-on object on the X-ray inspection apparatus 51 and operates the X-ray inspection apparatus 51 to perform inspection (S42). At this time, the X-ray inspection apparatus 51 holds image data captured at the time of inspection for each brought-in item. When the inspection of all brought-in items is completed, the image data at the time of inspection for each carried item is stored as a history in the integrated log DB 25 in association with the visitor information (S43).

  The body scan by the body scanner 52 is the same as the above process. First, the visitor presents his / her admission card 42 (or employee ID card) to the IC card reader at the body scanner 52 and sets the visitor information. (S41). Thereafter, the visitor passes the body scanner 52 to perform body scan (S42). At this time, image data or the like of the inspection result is acquired and stored as a history in the integrated log DB 25 in association with the visitor information when the body scan is completed (S43).

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an outline of an example of the flow of inspection processing for the items brought in by the visitor management server 10 according to the present embodiment. First, an inspector (an inspector who performs inspection) presents his / her admission card 42 (or employee ID card) in advance to the IC card reader of the inspection terminal 73 at the inspection place, and sets information about the inspector (S51). ). Thereafter, the visitor presents the admission card 42 (or employee ID card) to the IC card reader of the inspection terminal 73 and calls application information for the brought-in items (S52). Here, based on the receipt number read by the IC card reader, the entrance / exit management unit 13 of the entrance / exit management server 10 brings in the entry information DB 21 corresponding to the entrance application related to the receipt number on the day. The application information of the product is acquired and the inspection terminal 73 is responded.

  The inspection terminal 73 displays the contents of the acquired application information of the brought-in items on the screen, and the inspector confirms the displayed contents (S53). For example, the inspector inputs that the application has been confirmed by pressing a confirmation button displayed on the screen. After that, the inspector confirms the application contents described on the inspection slip that the visitor brought along with the brought-in items and the application content displayed on the screen of the inspection terminal 73, and the bar attached to the inspection slip. The code (bar code identifying the inspection slip itself) is read by the barcode reader 74 (S54).

  Furthermore, the barcode attached to each carry-on and the barcode of the carry-on described on the inspection slip are respectively read and collated by the barcode reader 74 to confirm the match / mismatch. It is confirmed whether the inclusion is consistent with the contents of the inspection slip (S55). The situation at this time is taken as a moving image by the monitoring camera 53 (or a video camera installed individually).

  When the confirmation of all brought-in items is completed, the inspection result is recorded in the entrance information DB 21 via the entrance / exit management unit 13 of the entrance / exit management server 10 and also recorded in the integrated log DB 25 as a history (S56). . In addition, the moving image data obtained by photographing the inspection status by the monitoring camera 53 (or an individually installed video camera) is stored in the entrance / exit management server 10 (S57). Note that the moving image data may be continuously stored and accumulated in a predetermined place, and only the information that can identify the position of the target image data may be recorded in the processing.

  As described above, collation and confirmation processing between the barcode of each carried item described in the inspection slip and the barcode attached to the carried item may be performed by the inspection terminal 73 or a barcode reader. The information on the inspection slip may be transmitted to 74 in advance and performed on the barcode reader 74. Alternatively, the entrance / exit management unit 13 of the entrance / exit management server 10 may perform this. As described above, the inspection processing of the carried-in items is performed by the inspection slip and the barcode attached to each brought-in item, whereby the conventional manual inspection processing can be greatly improved in efficiency and labor saving.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an outline of an example of the flow of visitor exit processing in the entrance / exit management server 10 of the present embodiment. The exit person first operates the screen of the reception terminal 40 to call up information on his / her admission application registered in the admission information DB 21 (S61). Specifically, for example, the screen of the reception terminal 40 is operated to instruct to leave the building by pressing a corresponding button or the like, and the entrance card 42 is presented to the IC card reader of the reception terminal 40. The reception terminal 40 transmits the reception number read from the entrance card 42 to the entrance / exit management server 10. The entrance / exit management unit 13 of the entrance / exit management server 10 obtains information on the entrance application corresponding to the received reception number from the entrance information DB 21 and responds to the reception terminal 40.

  The reception terminal 40 displays the information of the called application for entry on the screen, and the exit person confirms the displayed content (S62). For example, the person leaving the building inputs that the application has been confirmed by pressing a confirmation button displayed on the screen. At this time, if the electronic locker 71 has not been returned, the electronic locker 71 is returned (S63). Although details will not be described here, when the exit person presents the entrance card 42 to the IC card reader of the electronic locker 71, the electronic locker 71 is recorded in the entrance information DB 21 of the entrance / exit management server 10 or the entrance card 42 itself. The locker number is notified to the exit person, and the locker with the locker number is unlocked and opened. As a result, the exit person can take out the luggage without having to store the locker number. Thereafter, the person leaving the building gives instructions to the effect that the locker has been returned on the screen of the reception terminal 40 by pressing the corresponding button. This cancels the assignment of the locker to the person leaving the building.

  Finally, the entrance / exit management unit 13 invalidates the information of the entrance card 42 recorded in the card information DB 24 so that it cannot be used (S64). In response to an instruction on the screen of the reception terminal 40, an exit card may be made to present the entrance card 42 to the IC card reader of the reception terminal 40 and the recorded data may be initialized. The invalidated entry card 42 is collected by means such as posting in a collection box or returning it to a staff member. On the other hand, the guest card 41 can be taken away or discarded as it is. In addition, when the visit period applied in the case of an application for entrance still remains, you may make it hold | maintain the guest card 41 and the entrance card 42 across a day without performing these processes.

  Prior to the above-mentioned exit processing, if there is a bring-out from the CPU area (apply in advance for admission application), an inspection process similar to the inspection process for the carry-in shown in the example of FIG. Shall be performed.

  As described above, according to the entrance / exit management system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the admission application is issued from the acceptance of the visitor's entrance application in the facility such as the data center, and the inspection of the brought-in thing. Security processing such as inspection, gate control, etc., and recording and tracking of these processing histories, etc. are integrated and entrance / exit processing and management processing are integrated to improve security, while making entrance / exit processing more efficient and labor-saving And improved convenience for visitors.

  For example, when an admission application is received, information including the reception number and barcode will be sent directly to the prospective visitor as well as the applicant by e-mail, so that the prospective visitor will receive the contents of the admission application and It becomes possible to acquire necessary information with certainty. As a result, it is possible to reduce the workload associated with the application process of the applicant or the prospective visitor, and to reduce the risk of communication leakage. In addition, by allowing the visitor to perform the entrance process at the reception terminal 40 at the check-in counter at the entrance, it is possible to achieve significant efficiency and labor saving.

  In addition, the admission card includes a guest card 41 made of a paper medium for identifying a visitor, and data for opening the gate / door 54 and controlling various devices, apparatuses, and facilities. It separates into an entrance card 42 consisting of an IC card to be held. As a result, only the information unique to the temporary visitor is printed, and the guest card 41 that does not have the data related to the control of the equipment and facilities in the data center may not be collected without security risk. it can. In addition, it is only necessary to rewrite the data in the IC chip when the issuance card 42 is issued, and it is not necessary to print information unique to the visitor on the front surface. Can be done.

  In addition, while improving security by strengthening the function of detecting illegally carried items using the X-ray inspection apparatus 51 and the body scanner 52, the inspection processing of the carried items is a barcode attached to the inspection slip and each carried item. As a result, the conventional manual inspection process can be made more efficient and labor-saving. In addition, by recording all processing and work histories in the integrated log DB 25 in a unified manner, it is possible to aggregate trail data for audits, or to bring in specific visitors or bring-in when security incidents occur. It is possible to perform inquiry processing such as tracking behaviors using objects as keys and creating statistical information by collecting statistical information.
