Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a crowd flow management system and a crowd flow management method. Background Art

[0002] In the past, in the management of automatic doors in buildings such as buildings, the shared entrance part of the building was mostly unlocked after obtaining a key or resident authentication. In the authentication method of the shared entrance part of the building, the delivery person of the transport company who does not hold the key must obtain the approval of the resident. However, in the absence of the resident, the above-mentioned authentication method cannot be implemented, so the goods need to be brought back and redelivered. As a result, the efficiency of the delivery operation is reduced, the delivery date is delayed, etc. Therefore, the following technology is proposed: by comparing the document number input by the delivery company with the pre-stored delivery reservation information, the door of the shared entrance part is unlocked so that delivery can be made to the consignee of the building.

[0003] Patent Document 1 states that “the authentication unit performs authentication by comparing the ticket number and gateway ID included in the authentication request with the delivery schedule information stored in the storage unit”.

[0004] As described above, the following technology has been proposed in the past: based on the receipt number input by the delivery company and the pre-stored delivery schedule information, the door of the entrance shared unit is unlocked. However, in the technology described in Patent Document 1, anyone with the receipt number can enter the building, which has a security vulnerability problem from the perspective of security.

[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2022-170588 Summary of the invention

[0006] The present invention is completed in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to improve the safety of entering and exiting a building.

[0007] The present invention is a crowd management system with an automatic door operation management unit, which controls the opening and closing of the automatic door at the entrance according to the authentication information of the entrance used to enter the building. The crowd management system comprises: an authentication information generation unit, which accepts an application for issuance of authentication information to generate authentication information, and registers and issues the generated authentication information; and an authentication information comparison unit, which compares the authentication information read by the automatic door operation management unit with the authentication information registered by the authentication information generation unit, and sends the comparison result to the automatic door operation management unit.

[0008] According to the present invention having the above configuration, it is possible to improve the safety of entering and exiting a building. Other problems, configurations, and effects than those described above will become apparent from the following description of the embodiments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0013] Hereinafter, a mode for implementing the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this specification and the drawings, components having substantially the same function or structure are denoted by the same reference numerals to omit repeated description.

[0014] <One Implementation Method>

[0015] First, the people flow management system of this embodiment is described. In the following description, the application example of the people flow management system when a delivery person delivers goods to a building is used for description, but the present invention is not limited to this. The people flow management system of this embodiment can also be applied to visits to a managed building and visits permitted by residents of the visit destination, for example.

[0016] Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of the crowd flow management system 100 of this embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the consignee P1 orders goods on the online store, and the sales store P2 accepts the order and sends the goods. Then, the delivery company P3 collects the goods from the sales store P2, and the deliveryman P4 delivers the goods.

[0017] When the mobile terminal such as a mobile phone held by the delivery person (the delivery person's portable terminal unit 1 in the figure) detects that the delivery person has arrived at the building P5 (site) of the delivery destination, an application for issuing authentication information (e.g., a two-dimensional barcode) for entering the building P5 is made. The application for issuing authentication information is sent to the two-dimensional barcode generating unit 10 of the people flow management system 100. The two-dimensional barcode generating unit 10 generates authentication information (two-dimensional barcode), registers the generated two-dimensional barcode in the storage device 54 of the people flow management system 100, and issues (sends) it to the delivery person's portable terminal unit 1.

[0018] Then, the delivery person P4 presents the issued two-dimensional barcode to the authentication device (a component of the automatic door operation management unit 20 in the figure) installed at the entrance of the building P5. The automatic door operation management unit 20 reads the presented two-dimensional barcode and sends it to the two-dimensional barcode comparison unit 30 of the people flow management system 100. The two-dimensional barcode comparison unit 30 compares the two-dimensional barcode read by the automatic door operation management unit 20 with the two-dimensional barcode registered in the storage device 54, and sends the comparison result to the automatic door operation management unit 20 of the building P5.

[0019] The automatic door operation management unit 20 of the building P5 controls the opening and closing of the automatic door at the entrance based on the authentication information for entering the building P5 (the comparison result of the two-dimensional barcode comparison unit 30). In addition, the automatic door operation management unit 20 sends the information related to the opening and closing of the automatic door to the notification content sending unit 40 of the people flow management system 100. The notification content sending unit 40 notifies the outside of the received information related to the opening and closing of the automatic door, for example, to a person related to delivery.

[0020] [Example of functional structure of people flow management system]

[0021] Next, the functional configuration of the people flow management system 100 according to the embodiment will be described. Figure 2 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional structure of the people flow management system 100 of this embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the people flow management system 100 includes a delivery person portable terminal unit 1, a two-dimensional barcode generating unit 10, an automatic door operation management unit 20, a two-dimensional barcode comparing unit 30, a notification content sending unit 40 and Figure 1 The storage device 54 is shown.

[0022] The delivery person's portable terminal unit 1 is connected to the two-dimensional barcode generating unit 10 via wireless communication so that information data can be sent and received. The two-dimensional barcode generating unit 10, the two-dimensional barcode comparing unit 30, and the notification content sending unit 40 are connected so that information data can be sent and received to each other. In addition, the two-dimensional barcode generating unit 10, the two-dimensional barcode comparing unit 30, and the notification content sending unit 40 can be configured on the cloud or by a later-described Figure 3 The computer 50 shown in the figure can also be realized by a Web application. The automatic door operation management unit 20 is set in the management center of the building on site, and is connected to the two-dimensional bar code comparison unit 30 and the notification content sending unit 40 via a network not shown, which is composed of public lines such as the Internet, so as to be able to send and receive information data.

[0023] (Deliveryman's portable terminal 1)

[0024] The deliveryman's portable terminal unit 1 (an example of a visitor's terminal unit) is a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or tablet computer held by the deliveryman, and when it is detected that the deliveryman has arrived at a building (site), an application for the issuance of authentication information for entering the building entrance is made. The deliveryman's portable terminal unit 1 has an on-site arrival determination unit 2, a two-dimensional barcode application sending unit 3, a two-dimensional barcode receiving unit 4, and a two-dimensional barcode display unit 5. The on-site arrival determination unit 2, the two-dimensional barcode application sending unit 3, the two-dimensional barcode receiving unit 4, and the two-dimensional barcode display unit 5 are connected in this order. In addition, the functions of each component of the deliveryman's portable terminal unit 1 can be implemented, for example, by an application installed in the deliveryman's portable terminal unit 1, or by a Web application displayed on the deliveryman's portable terminal unit 1.

[0025] The on-site arrival determination unit 2 is composed of a GPS (Global Positioning System) possessed by a smartphone, tablet computer, etc., and detects the current position to determine whether the building (site) serving as the delivery destination has been reached. In addition, if the on-site arrival determination unit 2 determines that the on-site has been reached, it notifies the two-dimensional barcode application sending unit 3 that the on-site has been reached.

[0026] When receiving the on-site arrival notification from the on-site arrival determination unit 2, the two-dimensional barcode application sending unit 3 sends authentication information for entering the building entrance, such as an application for issuance of a two-dimensional barcode, to the two-dimensional barcode application receiving unit 11 of the two-dimensional barcode generating unit 10 described later.

[0027] The two-dimensional barcode receiving unit 4 receives the two-dimensional barcode from the two-dimensional barcode transmitting unit 13 (described later) of the two-dimensional barcode generating unit 10 , and outputs the two-dimensional barcode to the two-dimensional barcode display unit 5 .

[0028] The two-dimensional barcode display unit 5 displays the two-dimensional barcode input from the two-dimensional barcode reception unit 4 .

[0029] (Two-dimensional barcode generating unit 10)

[0030] The two-dimensional barcode generating unit 10 (an example of an authentication information generating unit) receives an application for issuing authentication information for entering a building entrance, generates authentication information, and registers and issues the generated authentication information. The two-dimensional barcode generating unit 10 issues the generated authentication information to the delivery person's portable terminal unit 1 (visitor terminal unit). In addition, the two-dimensional barcode generating unit 10 generates and registers an expiration date associated with the authentication information. The two-dimensional barcode generating unit 10 has a two-dimensional barcode application receiving unit 11, a two-dimensional barcode generating unit 12, a two-dimensional barcode sending unit 13, and a two-dimensional barcode registering unit 14. The two-dimensional barcode application receiving unit 11, the two-dimensional barcode generating unit 12, the two-dimensional barcode sending unit 13, and the two-dimensional barcode registering unit 14 are connected in this order.

[0031] The two-dimensional barcode application receiving unit 11 receives the two-dimensional barcode issuance application from the two-dimensional barcode application transmitting unit 3 of the delivery person portable terminal unit 1 , and issues a two-dimensional barcode generation instruction to the two-dimensional barcode generating unit 12 .

[0032] When receiving an instruction to generate a two-dimensional barcode, the two-dimensional barcode generating unit 12 generates a two-dimensional barcode and an expiration date of the two-dimensional barcode, and outputs the generated two-dimensional barcode and the expiration date of the two-dimensional barcode to the two-dimensional barcode transmitting unit 13 .

[0033] The two-dimensional barcode transmission unit 13 transmits (issues) the two-dimensional barcode generated by the two-dimensional barcode generation unit 12 to the two-dimensional barcode reception unit 4 of the delivery person portable terminal unit 1. In addition, the two-dimensional barcode transmission unit 13 outputs the two-dimensional barcode generated by the two-dimensional barcode generation unit 12 and the validity period of the two-dimensional barcode to the two-dimensional barcode registration unit 14.

[0034] The two-dimensional barcode registration unit 14 registers the two-dimensional barcode input from the two-dimensional barcode transmission unit 13 and the validity period of the two-dimensional barcode in the storage device 54 (see Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 ).

[0035] (Automatic door operation management unit 20)

[0036] The automatic door operation management unit 20 reads the authentication information (two-dimensional barcode) displayed by the delivery person's portable terminal unit 1, and controls the opening and closing of the automatic door at the entrance of the building based on the authentication information. The automatic door operation management unit 20 has a two-dimensional barcode reading unit 21, a two-dimensional barcode sending unit 22, a comparison result receiving unit 23, an automatic door opening and closing unit 24, and an automatic door opening and closing communication unit 25. The two-dimensional barcode reading unit 21, the two-dimensional barcode sending unit 22, the comparison result receiving unit 23, the automatic door opening and closing unit 24, and the automatic door opening and closing communication unit 25 are connected in this order.

[0037] The two-dimensional barcode reading unit 21 is composed of a reading device such as a barcode reader or camera for reading a two-dimensional barcode (authentication information), reads the two-dimensional barcode displayed on the two-dimensional barcode display unit 5 of the delivery person's portable terminal unit 1, and outputs it to the two-dimensional barcode sending unit 22.

[0038] The two-dimensional barcode transmission unit 22 outputs the two-dimensional barcode input from the two-dimensional barcode reading unit 21 to the matching result reception unit 23 , and transmits it to a two-dimensional barcode reception unit 31 of the two-dimensional barcode matching unit 30 , which will be described later.

[0039] The comparison result receiving unit 23 receives the comparison result of the two-dimensional barcode from a comparison result transmitting unit 33 (described later) of the two-dimensional barcode comparison unit 30 , and outputs the comparison result to the automatic door opening and closing unit 24 .

[0040] The automatic door opening and closing unit 24 outputs an action instruction for the automatic door based on the comparison result input from the comparison result receiving unit 23. Specifically, the automatic door opening and closing unit 24 of the automatic door operation management unit 20 unlocks the automatic door when the authentication information read out of the comparison result received from the two-dimensional bar code comparison unit 30 (authentication information comparison unit) is consistent with the authentication information registered by the two-dimensional bar code comparison unit 30 (authentication information comparison unit), and the current date and time is within the validity period of the authentication information. In addition, the automatic door opening and closing unit 24 of the automatic door operation management unit 20 does not unlock the automatic door when the authentication information read out of the comparison result received from the two-dimensional bar code comparison unit 30 (authentication information comparison unit) is inconsistent with the authentication information registered by the two-dimensional bar code comparison unit 30 (authentication information comparison unit), or the current date and time is outside the validity period of the authentication information. In addition, the automatic door opening and closing unit 24 outputs information related to the opening and closing of the automatic door to the automatic door opening and closing communication unit 25.

[0041] The automatic door opening and closing communication unit 25 receives information on the opening and closing of the automatic door from the automatic door opening and closing unit 24 , and communicates (transmits) the information to a notification content receiving unit 41 of the notification content transmitting unit 40 , which will be described later.

[0042] (Two-dimensional barcode comparison unit 30)

[0043] The two-dimensional barcode comparison unit 30 (an example of the authentication information comparison unit) compares the authentication information read by the automatic door operation management unit 20 with the authentication information registered by the two-dimensional barcode generation unit 10 (authentication information generation unit), and sends the comparison result to the automatic door operation management unit 20. The two-dimensional barcode comparison unit 30 includes a two-dimensional barcode receiving unit 31, a two-dimensional barcode comparison unit 32, and a comparison result sending unit 33. The two-dimensional barcode receiving unit 31, the two-dimensional barcode comparison unit 32, and the comparison result sending unit 33 are connected in this order.

[0044] The two-dimensional barcode receiving unit 31 receives the read two-dimensional barcode from the two-dimensional barcode transmitting unit 22 of the automatic door operation management unit 20 and outputs the two-dimensional barcode to the two-dimensional barcode comparing unit 32 .

[0045] The two-dimensional barcode comparison unit 32 compares the read two-dimensional barcode with the two-dimensional barcode registered in the storage device 54, and outputs the comparison result including information whether the two-dimensional barcodes are consistent and whether the current date and time is within the validity period of the two-dimensional barcode to the comparison result sending unit 33.

[0046] The comparison result transmitting unit 33 transmits the comparison result input from the two-dimensional barcode comparing unit 32 to the comparison result receiving unit 23 of the automatic door operation management unit 20 .

[0047] (Notification content sending unit 40)

[0048] The notification content sending unit 40 sends information related to the opening and closing of the automatic door to the outside. The notification content sending unit 40 includes a notification content receiving unit 41, a notification content generating unit 42, and a notification content sending unit 43. The notification content receiving unit 41, the notification content generating unit 42, and the notification content sending unit 43 are connected in this order.

[0049] The notification content receiving unit 41 receives information related to the opening and closing of the automatic door from the automatic door opening and closing communication unit 25 of the automatic door operation management unit 20 and outputs the information to the notification content generating unit 42 .

[0050] The notification content generating unit 42 inputs information related to the opening and closing of the automatic door from the notification content receiving unit 41, generates notification content for external notification recipients, and sends the generated notification content to the notification content sending unit 43. In addition, the notification recipients include, for example, at least one of the manager of the delivery person, the manager of the on-site facility, the consignee at the delivery destination, and the delivery person.

[0051] The notification content sending unit 43 sends the notification content generated by the notification content generating unit 42 to the notification recipient. Here, when the notification content sending unit 43 receives information related to the unlocking of the automatic door from the notification content receiving unit 41, the notification content sending unit 43 notifies the notification recipient such as the manager of the delivery person and the manager of the on-site facility of the generated notification content. When the notification content receiving unit 41 receives information that the automatic door cannot be unlocked, the notification content sending unit 43 sends the generated notification content to the delivery person. In addition, as a method for the notification content sending unit 43 to send the notification content to the notification recipient, for example, email, SMS (Short Message Service) and the like are used.

[0052] In addition, in the above description, the delivery personnel portable terminal unit 1 and the automatic door operation management unit 20 are set as the internal structure of the people flow management system 100, but the present invention is not limited to this. The delivery personnel portable terminal unit 1 and the automatic door operation management unit 20 can also be set as the external structure of the people flow management system 100.

[0053] Next, the hardware structure of the computer 50 is described, which constitutes a device for realizing the functions of the two-dimensional barcode generating unit 10, the two-dimensional barcode comparing unit 30, and the notification content sending unit 40 of the people flow management system 100. In addition, the automatic door operation management unit 20 of the people flow management system 100 can also be constituted by the computer 50. Figure 3 This is a block diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of a computer, which constitutes a device for realizing the functions of each functional configuration unit of the people flow management system 100 according to the present embodiment.

[0054] The computer 50 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 51, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 52, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 53, a storage device 54, and a network interface 55. The CPU 51, the ROM 52, the RAM 53, the storage device 54, and the network interface 55 are connected via a bus 56 so as to be able to transmit and receive information data to and from each other.

[0055] The CPU 51 reads the program code of the software for realizing each function of the present embodiment from the ROM 52, loads it into the RAM 53 for execution. Variables and parameters generated in the process of the operation processing of the CPU 51 are temporarily written in the RAM 53, and these variables and parameters are appropriately read by the CPU 51. However, an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), etc. may be used instead of the CPU 51.

[0056] The ROM 52 is constituted by a storage medium such as a nonvolatile memory, for example, and stores programs, data, and the like executed and referred to by the CPU 51 .

[0057] The RAM 53 is composed of a storage medium such as a volatile memory, for example, and temporarily stores information (data) necessary for each process performed by the CPU 51 .

[0058] The storage device 54 is composed of a computer-readable non-temporary recording medium storing a program executed by the CPU 51, for example, a storage device such as a HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The storage device 54 stores programs and data such as the OS (Operating System), controller, etc. for the CPU 51 to control each part. In addition, part of the program and data stored in the storage device 54 may also be stored in the ROM 52. In addition, the computer-readable non-temporary recording medium storing the program executed by the CPU 51 is not limited to the HDD, and may be, for example, a recording medium such as an SSD (Solid State Drive), a CD (Compact Disc)-ROM, or a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc)-ROM.

[0059] The network interface 55 uses, for example, a NIC (Network Interface Card) or the like, and can transmit and receive various data between devices via a LAN (Local Area Network) or a dedicated line connected to a terminal of the NIC.

[0060] [Order of crowd management]

[0061] Next, the procedure of the crowd flow management process in the crowd flow management system 100 will be described. Figure 4 1 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the people flow management process of the people flow management system of this embodiment. The process described below starts when the delivery person arrives at the site.

[0062] First, the on-site arrival determination unit 2 of the delivery person's portable terminal unit 1 determines whether the delivery person has arrived at the on-site building (step S1). In this process, the on-site arrival determination unit 2 can compare the location information detected by the GPS with the map information to determine whether the delivery person has arrived at the address (site) of the pre-registered building, or can register from the screen of the delivery person's portable terminal unit 1 after the delivery person arrives at the site.

[0063] When the on-site arrival determination unit 2 determines in the process of step S1 that the person has not arrived at the on-site (when the determination of step S1 is No), the process returns to step S1.

[0064] On the other hand, when the on-site arrival determination unit 2 determines that the on-site has been arrived at during the processing of step S1 (when step S1 determines that it is yes), the processing of issuing the two-dimensional barcode is performed (step S2). In the processing of step S2, the two-dimensional barcode application sending unit 3 sends the application for issuing the two-dimensional barcode to the two-dimensional barcode application receiving unit 11 of the two-dimensional barcode generating unit 10. The content of the issuance application includes the identification information of the delivery person and the information that can identify the target facility, such as the management number of the target facility. The two-dimensional barcode application receiving unit 11 notifies the two-dimensional barcode generating unit 12 of the generation of the two-dimensional barcode. The two-dimensional barcode generating unit 12 newly generates a two-dimensional barcode including the identification information of the target facility and the identification information of the delivery person, and the validity period associated with the two-dimensional barcode, and outputs the generated two-dimensional barcode to the two-dimensional barcode sending unit 13. In addition, the two-dimensional barcode registration unit 14 registers the two-dimensional barcode sent by the two-dimensional barcode sending unit 13 and the validity period of the two-dimensional barcode in the storage device 54. In addition, other authentication keys and other information may also be embedded in the two-dimensional barcode. In addition, regarding the validity period, an appropriate time period such as 30 minutes after the issuance of the two-dimensional barcode may be set. The two-dimensional barcode sending unit 13 issues (sends) the two-dimensional barcode generated by the two-dimensional barcode generating unit 12 to the two-dimensional barcode receiving unit 4 of the delivery person portable terminal unit 1.

[0065] Next, the processing of reading the prompted two-dimensional barcode is performed (step S3). In the processing of step S3, the two-dimensional barcode receiving unit 4 of the delivery person's portable terminal unit 1 outputs the two-dimensional barcode received from the two-dimensional barcode generating unit 10 to the two-dimensional barcode display unit 5, and the two-dimensional barcode display unit 5 displays the two-dimensional barcode through the operation of the delivery person. Then, the two-dimensional barcode reading unit 21 of the automatic door operation management unit 20 reads the two-dimensional barcode prompted by the delivery person, that is, the two-dimensional barcode displayed on the two-dimensional barcode display unit 5. The two-dimensional barcode reading unit 21 sends the read two-dimensional barcode to the two-dimensional barcode receiving unit 31 of the two-dimensional barcode comparison unit 30 via the two-dimensional barcode sending unit 22.

[0066] Next, a determination process is performed to determine whether the two-dimensional barcode prompted by the delivery person is consistent with the registration information (step S4). In the process of step S4, the two-dimensional barcode comparison unit 32 of the two-dimensional barcode comparison unit 30 compares the two-dimensional barcode received by the two-dimensional barcode receiving unit 31 (prompted two-dimensional barcode) with the two-dimensional barcode registered in the storage device 54 (registration information), and confirms the validity period of the two-dimensional barcode. When the two-dimensional barcode comparison unit 32 determines that the prompted two-dimensional barcode is consistent with the registration information and the current date and time is within the validity period of the two-dimensional barcode, step S4 determines as "yes". On the other hand, when the two-dimensional barcode comparison unit 32 determines that the prompted two-dimensional barcode is inconsistent with the registration information, or the current date and time is outside the validity period of the two-dimensional barcode, step S4 determines as "no". In addition, the two-dimensional barcode comparison unit 32 outputs the comparison result of the two-dimensional barcode to the comparison result sending unit 33. The comparison result transmitting unit 33 transmits the comparison result to the comparison result receiving unit 23 of the automatic door operation management unit 20 .

[0067] When it is determined in the process of step S4 that the presented two-dimensional barcode is consistent with the registered information (when the determination of step S4 is "yes"), the automatic door opening and closing unit 24 of the automatic door operation management unit 20 unlocks the automatic door (step S5). In addition, in this process, the automatic door opening and closing unit 24 outputs the information related to the unlocking of the automatic door to the automatic door opening and closing communication unit 25. The automatic door opening and closing communication unit 25 communicates (sends) the information related to the unlocking to the notification content receiving unit 41 of the notification content sending unit 40.

[0068] Next, the process of notifying the notification recipient of the information related to the unlocking of the automatic door is performed (step S6). In the process of step S6, the notification content generating unit 42 generates notification content for the notification recipient based on the information related to the unlocking of the automatic door input from the notification content receiving unit 41, and sends the generated notification content to the notification content sending unit 43. The notification content sending unit 43 notifies the notification recipient of the notification content generated by the notification content generating unit 42.

[0069] On the other hand, when it is determined in the process of step S4 that the prompted two-dimensional barcode is inconsistent with the registered information (when the "No" determination of step S4 occurs), a process of notifying the delivery person is performed (step S7). In the process of step S7, the automatic door opening and closing unit 24 outputs the information that the automatic door cannot be unlocked to the automatic door opening and closing communication unit 25. The automatic door opening and closing communication unit 25 sends (notifies) the information that the automatic door cannot be unlocked to the notification content receiving unit 41 of the notification content sending unit 40. The notification content generating unit 42 of the notification content sending unit 40 generates notification content for the delivery person based on the information that the automatic door cannot be unlocked, and outputs it to the notification content sending unit 43. The notification content sending unit 43 notifies the delivery person of the generated notification content.

[0070] After the processing of step S6 or step S7, the crowd flow management process ends.

[0071] In addition, if the delivery person receives the notification that the automatic door cannot be unlocked and manually sends an application for issuing a two-dimensional barcode using the delivery person's portable terminal unit 1, the above steps S2 to S7 are processed again. In addition, in the above description, the two-dimensional barcode is described as the authentication information, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the authentication information can be any one of a barcode, a two-dimensional barcode, a password, etc.

[0072] As described above, the crowd management system 100 of the present embodiment issues authentication information for entering a building (e.g., a delivery destination building facility, etc.) when a visitor (e.g., a delivery person) arrives at the site, and generates an effective period in association with the issued authentication information. In addition, when a visitor prompts the authentication information to the authentication device at the entrance of the building, the crowd management system 100 compares the authentication information and also confirms the effective period associated with the authentication information. Therefore, according to the crowd management system 100 of the present embodiment, there is no need to manually unlock the door when a visitor enters the building. In addition, the crowd management system 100 issues authentication information to the mobile terminal device (visitor portable terminal unit) held by the visitor, and assigns an effective period to the authentication information, thereby preventing the authentication information from being used, thereby improving the safety of entering and exiting the building.

[0073] In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and various other application examples and modified examples can be adopted as long as they do not depart from the gist of the present invention described in the scope of patent protection.

[0074] For example, the above-mentioned embodiments are for the purpose of explaining the present invention in an easy-to-understand manner, and the embodiments of the structure of the people flow management system are described in detail and specifically, but are not necessarily limited to having all the structures described. In addition, a part of the structure of the embodiment described here can be replaced with the structure of other embodiments, and the structure of other embodiments can be added to the structure of a certain embodiment. In addition, for a part of the structure of the embodiment, other structures can also be added, deleted, or replaced.

[0075] In addition, the control lines and information lines are those considered necessary for explanation, and not all control lines and information lines are necessarily shown on the product. In reality, it can be considered that almost all the structures are connected to each other.
