Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a gate integrated access control system, and more specifically, to a gate integrated access control system that allows only authorized persons to enter and exit through an entrance, while automatically verifying and controlling the entry and exit of persons using vehicles and motorcycles in addition to those passing by on foot, and managing such entry and exit. Background Technology

[0002] A system that can permit, restrict, or control access to a company or office is called an access control system or an access management system.

[0003] The aforementioned access control system manages personnel by tagging IDs issued to employees or visitors (people) onto RFID receivers, and for vehicles, it manages them by distinguishing between registered and unregistered vehicles using a license plate recognition system such as LPR (License Plate Regognition).

[0004] Recently, cameras or CCTVs are being installed to recognize the faces of people passing through entrances, distinguishing between employees and registered users, and controlling access for unregistered individuals.

[0005] In conventional entrances, pedestrian and vehicle entrances are installed in different locations and operated by separate systems.

[0006] A system for an entrance (gate) through which people enter and exit has been disclosed in Korean Intellectual Property Office Registered Patent Publication No. 10-2010428, titled 'Access Control System Using Speed ​​Gate'.

[0007] Conventional entrance (gate) systems are designed to require users to tag the cards they are wearing one by one.

[0008] Recently, due to advancements in camera technology and facial recognition technology, access control systems are being provided that utilize multiple cameras to automatically identify entrants.

[0009] In addition, regarding a vehicle access control system for the entry and exit of vehicles, technology related to a 'number plate recognition vehicle access control system for narrow area access roads' has been disclosed in Korean Intellectual Property Office Publication No. 2023-0011804.

[0010] A conventional vehicle access control system is formed by including left and right cameras that recognize numbers from the left and right sides of a vehicle, a barrier, a barrier controller, a parking management server computer, a WebSocket server computer, and a plurality of resident terminals (1 to n).

[0011] Another means of transportation is motorcycles, but there were difficulties in managing and controlling access to them. To solve this problem, Korean Intellectual Property Office Registered Patent Publication No. 2655399 disclosed an "access control device for vehicles (motorcycles) without front license plates."

[0012] A conventional access control device for a vehicle without a front license plate comprises: a detection unit that detects the entry of either a first vehicle with a license plate mounted on the front or a second vehicle without a license plate mounted on the front; a shooting unit that generates a front image of the entering vehicle when the entry of either the first vehicle or the second vehicle is detected; and a processor that attempts to recognize a license plate number from the front image of the vehicle, requests access information from a user device based on whether the license plate number is recognized, checks whether the access information indicates permission to enter when the access information is received, and controls an opening / closing unit to release the blockage of entry if the access information indicates that the vehicle is authorized to enter. The problem to be solved

[0013] However, conventional access control systems had the following problems, and the present invention was developed to overcome these problems.

[0014] (1) Since access control for people, cars, motorcycles, etc. is not integrated, manpower must be deployed.

[0015] (2) When there are many people passing through during commuting to and from work, it is difficult to manage all people, cars, and motorcycles using an automatic system.

[0016] (3) It is difficult to manage the attendance of each person driving a vehicle or motorcycle, or riding in a vehicle at once, so a separate attendance management system must be established. means of solving the problem

[0017] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a main server, and is configured to be simultaneously connected to the main server, an internal Ethernet network, and an entrance-only Ethernet network.

[0018] The above main server is configured to issue access cards through the internal internet network via the access card issuance server, and

[0019] Multiple pedestrian entrances; multiple vehicle entrances; and multiple motorcycle entrances are formed,

[0020] Each of the above-mentioned pedestrian entrances, vehicle entrances, and motorcycle entrances is configured so that the entrance direction and the exit direction correspond to a single line, and

[0021] In an environment of an access control system in which each of the above-mentioned pedestrian, vehicle, and motorcycle entrances is configured to be connected via PLC to form a Zigbee gateway; a pair of infrared sensors; and an LED display board, enabling communication with a main server via a dedicated Ethernet network,

[0022] It is characterized by wirelessly detecting access cards worn by all people entering through pedestrian, vehicle, and motorcycle entrances, and distinguishing between registered and unregistered persons to permit or restrict entry. Effects of the invention

[0023] According to the gate integrated access control system formed as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the following effects occur.

[0024] (1) People entering on foot, people using cars, and people entering by motorcycle can all be managed in an integrated manner.

[0025] (2) All people entering and exiting by bus or motorcycle during commuting hours can be verified via Zigbee communication, allowing them to pass through the entrance system quickly and be managed reliably.

[0026] (3) Since everyone can be managed wirelessly even when coming to and from work, a separate attendance management system is not required. Brief explanation of the drawing

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a main server (30) is formed, and the main server (30) is formed to be simultaneously connected to an internal Ethernet network (10) and a dedicated Ethernet network (20).

[0032] The above main server (30) is configured to issue access cards through the internal internet network (10) via the access card issuance server (40), and

[0033] An entrance system (100) is formed having a plurality of human entrances (110); a plurality of vehicle entrances (120); and a plurality of motorcycle entrances (130).

[0034] Each of the above-mentioned human entrance (110), vehicle entrance (120), and motorcycle entrance (130) is configured so that the entrance direction and the exit direction correspond to a single line, and

[0035] In an environment of an access control system in which each of the above-mentioned human entrance (110), vehicle entrance (120), and motorcycle entrance (130) is formed with a Zigbee gateway (51), a pair of infrared sensors, and an LED display board connected via a PLC to enable communication with a main server (30) and a dedicated Ethernet network (20),

[0036] It is configured to wirelessly detect the access cards worn by all people entering through the person entrance (110), vehicle entrance (120), and motorcycle entrance (130), and to distinguish between registered and unregistered persons to permit or restrict entry.

[0037] The company installing the entrance system (100) has an internal internet network (10), and a dedicated entrance internet network (20) is formed separately from this internal internet network (10).

[0038] In the above internal internet network (10), employees or people who need to register can register through a terminal on the main server (30), and this is managed by the main server (30).

[0039] The above main server (30) issues an access card that can be worn and communicates via Zigbee to the relevant employees or people who need to register.

[0040] When registered persons carry the above access card and pass through the entrance system (100), it communicates with the Zigbee gateway (51) of the entrance system (100) to distinguish between registered persons and unregistered persons and communicates to the main server (30), and the access blocking device is activated.

[0041] The above entrance system (100) is formed with a plurality of human entrances (110), a plurality of vehicle entrances (120), and a plurality of motorcycle entrances (130), respectively.

[0042] The above-mentioned person entrance (110) has an internal control box (116) and an external control box (114) each formed on both sides of a plurality of person passages (112), each having a person entry system, and a blocking device is formed in the middle of the internal control box (116) and the external control box (114), with a blocking bar (210) formed therein.

[0043] A Zigbee gateway (51) is formed at the top of each of the internal control box (116) and the external control box (114), and the signal recognized by the Zigbee gateway (51) is sent from the person access system to the main server (30) to distinguish between registered and unregistered persons and to operate the blocking device.

[0044] The passageway of the above-mentioned person entrance (110) is formed with a width of approximately 400 to 700 mm, which is wide enough for one person to pass through.

[0045] The vehicle entrance (120) and the vehicle passage (122) are divided into an exit direction and an entrance direction, and an internal vehicle control box (126) with a person access system is formed in the exit direction, and an external vehicle control box (124) with a person access system is formed in the entrance direction, and a barrier device is formed in which a barrier bar (210) is formed.

[0046] The above vehicle entrance (120) is formed such that an additional external vehicle control box (124) is formed separately from an external vehicle control box (124) at the rear of the barrier (200) in the direction of the entrance, thereby allowing double verification of the access passes worn by the driver and passenger.

[0047] The above vehicle entrance (120) is formed with two internal vehicle control boxes (126) spaced apart from the location of the barrier (200) in the exit direction, and is formed to double-check the entry passes worn by the driver and passenger, respectively.

[0048] Since the barrier (200) of the above vehicle (50) operates based on license plate recognition, a separate license plate recognition system is established.

[0049] A Zigbee gateway (51) is formed in each of the internal vehicle control box (126) and the external vehicle control box (124), and a signal recognized by the Zigbee gateway (51) is sent from the person access system to the main server (30) so that the vehicle occupant can distinguish between registered and unregistered persons and operate the blocking device.

[0050] In the internal vehicle control box (126) and external vehicle control box (124) of the above vehicle entrance (120), a conventional vehicle number recognition camera and a vehicle number recognition system are also installed simultaneously.

[0051] The vehicle passage (122) of the above vehicle entrance (120) is formed as two lanes with a width of approximately 6,000 to 7,000 mm so that even large vehicles (50) can pass through.

[0052] When passing through the vehicle entrance (120) above, it is acceptable for a person to wear an entry pass or place an entry pass in front of the vehicle.

[0053] Zigbee gateways (51) are further installed in the above internal vehicle control box (126) and external vehicle control box (124) so ​​that all access passes can be checked even if the driver's seat of a truck or similar vehicle is located at a high position.

[0054] A loop coil capable of Zigbee communication may be installed in the lower part of the above vehicle passage (122).

[0055] The above main server (30) can operate the registration status of the vehicle and the registration status of the driver or passenger simultaneously or separately.

[0056] In the case of buses, registration status and verification are based primarily on passengers, whereas for cargo trucks or dump trucks, management can be achieved through the registration status and verification of the vehicle number.

[0057] The above-mentioned motorcycle entrance (130) has an internal motorcycle control box (136) and an external motorcycle control box (134) each formed on both sides of a plurality of motorcycle passages (132), each having a person access system, and a barrier (200) with a barrier bar (210) formed in the middle of the internal motorcycle control box (136) and the external motorcycle control box (134) is formed.

[0058] A Zigbee gateway (51) is formed in each of the internal two-wheeled vehicle control box (136) and the external two-wheeled vehicle control box (134), and a signal recognized by the Zigbee gateway (51) is sent from the person access system to the main server (30) to distinguish whether the person driving the two-wheeled vehicle is a registered person or an unregistered person, and to operate the barrier (200).

[0059] The overall entrance system (100) is formed by dividing the entrance system and the exit system around the center, and the central two-wheeled vehicle passage (132) is formed by dividing the entrance direction and the exit direction, and on both sides of the two-wheeled vehicle passage (132), two lanes of vehicle passage (122) are formed on the left and right sides, respectively, in the entrance direction and the exit direction, and pedestrian passage (112) is formed on each side of the vehicle passage (122).

[0060] The above entrance system (100) can be formed by installing a support pole and a crossbar for the operation of the overall signal and CCTV, and configuring the signal or CCTV.

[0061] A separate block may be formed between the vehicle passage (122) and the two-wheeled vehicle passage (132) for the safety of pedestrians.

[0062] In the internal control box (116) and external control box (114) of the above-mentioned person entrance (110), the internal two-wheeled vehicle control box (136) and external two-wheeled vehicle control box (134) of the two-wheeled vehicle entrance (130), and the internal vehicle control box (126) and external vehicle control box (124) of the vehicle control box, a Zigbee gateway (51); a pair of infrared sensors; and an LED display are formed, and the person entrance system is configured to communicate with the main server (30) and the dedicated Ethernet network (20) through a PLC.

[0063] Zigbee Compunication is a wireless communication standard that operates in a mesh network system, enabling each device to rapidly transmit data to other devices and providing a highly reliable communication method.

[0064] That is, the access card and the Zigbee gateway (51) communicate with each other using this Zigbee communication so that the device can be operated for a long time on battery power with low power consumption.

[0065] It is configured to wirelessly detect the access cards worn by all people entering through the person entrance (110), vehicle entrance (120), and motorcycle entrance (130), and to distinguish between registered and unregistered persons to permit or restrict entry.

[0066] First, in order to use the entrance system (100) of the present invention, it is necessary to register employees, visitors, etc., issued by the HR department server (45) in the internal internet network (10).

[0067] At this time, the personnel department server (45) must record and manage employees, people who wish to register visitors, and vehicle registrations, etc., and secure them as data.

[0068] The above HR department server (45) can perform the registration and deletion of necessary people through various types of terminals, and this is done using the internal internet network (10).

[0069] The above HR department server (45) applies for registration directly to each terminal, and the HR department server (45) issues a wearable access card to the person concerned.

[0070] The above main server (30) is configured to be connected to the entrance system (100) via a dedicated internet network (20), and the dedicated internet network (20) is connected so that the human access systems formed in each internal control box (116) and external control box (114), internal vehicle control box (126) and external vehicle control box (124), and internal motorcycle control box (136) and external vehicle control box (124) can communicate with the main server (30) through a PLC.

[0071] The overall communication method of the above-mentioned entrance system (100) is such that when a person attempts to enter the person entrance (110), the CCTV captures the event, and at the same time, the infrared detector recognizes the access card worn by the person through the Zigbee gateway (51) in the external control box (114), and determines and operates the operation of the barrier (200).

[0072] When a vehicle attempts to enter the entrance system (100), the CCTV captures the entry pass worn by the driver and all passengers via the Zigbee gateway (51) in the external vehicle control box (124), and the operation of the barrier (200) determines whether to allow entry based on the registered vehicle.

[0073] That is, when many people enter, such as on a bus during rush hour, all people on board the vehicle can be verified through Zigbee communication, and the vehicle is verified as a registered vehicle through number recognition and the operation of the barrier (200) is checked.

[0074] When a motorcycle attempts to enter the entrance system (100), the CCTV captures the scene, and at the same time, an infrared sensor checks the access card worn by the driver and the access card worn by the person riding behind through the Zigbee gateway (51) in the external motorcycle control box (134) to determine whether the barrier (200) is activated.

[0075] The above-mentioned entrance system (100) can generally check all people commuting to and from work by person, vehicle, and motorcycle at once, and can especially manage people approaching by motorcycle, so it can be said to be a more effective entrance management system.

[0076] In particular, even if many people go to work or leave work by bus, or if a large number of people gather at once during the commuting time, the barrier (200) can automatically operate and manage the entry and exit of all people just by passing through quickly via Zigbee communication.

[0077] According to the gate integrated access control system formed as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to comprehensively manage all people entering and exiting on foot, by car, and by motorcycle. Furthermore, since all people entering and exiting by bus and by motorcycle during commuting hours can be verified via Zigbee communication, they can be managed reliably while passing through the access system quickly. Additionally, because all people can be managed wirelessly during commuting, a separate attendance management system is not required, thereby providing benefits such as...

[0078] Although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is evident to those skilled in the art that various modifications are possible from this description without departing from the scope of the invention as encompassed by the claims set forth below.
