Security system for elevator

Abstract

In a security system for an elevator which uses an RFID card and a fingerprint authentication device (a biometric authentication device) to authenticate a passenger, data for this authentication is held in a database in a control device. Here, when data must be updated, e.g., when a fingerprint pattern of a new passenger must be registered, a registration unit as a portable terminal device owned by an administrator is used to generate updating data. Further, when the registration unit is connected with the control device at a predetermined position, the updating data is transmitted to the control device to rewrite contents of the database.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a security system for an elevator provided with a universal control panel which can integrate an RFID card and a biometric authentication device (eg a fingerprint authentication device). Background technique [0002] In recent years, in order to ensure the safety of middle-floor and high-rise buildings, a security system for elevators has been developed, which verifies passengers using the elevator based on RFID cards or fingerprints, for example, the applicant is KOKAI Publication No. 1999-11807 Japan Patent, the applicant is KOKAI Publication No. as 1999-286378 Japanese patent discloses. [0003] In such a security system, it is necessary to set up such that the card cannot be used if the RFID is lost, for example. Furthermore, in fingerprint authentication, it is necessary to perform log maintenance of registration / deletion of fingerprint patterns of users who interact frequently due to movement or the like.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

As a result, repair / inspection costs are wasted if the cause is a bad RFID card and the problem can be eliminated by replacing the RFID card with a new one

[0008] As described above, in the conventional security system for elevators, when updating the data required for authentication of RFID cards or fingerprint authentication, administrators and users must go to the installation authentication device installed in each elevator installed in the building. place, and repeat tedious operations here, such as registration of fingerprint patterns

[0009] In addition, when the control device storing the data required for authentication of the RFID card or fingerprint verification does not work normally and the data in the control device is thus lost, the administrator and the user must go to each elevator again to perform recovery operations such as registering fingerprint patterns

thus placing a large burden on administrators and users and requiring very long recovery times

[0010] In addition, because there is no way to judge whether the RFID card is damaged on the administrator side when the problem occurs, it is necessary to contact the maintenance company every time

Thus, when the damage of the RFID card is the cause, there is a problem such as spending wasteful repair / inspection costs
