Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a people flow management system and a people flow management method. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, in the case of automatic door management for buildings such as buildings, the door is often opened by obtaining a key or authentication of the resident at the common entrance of the building. In the authentication method at the common entrance of the building, a delivery person of a delivery company who does not have a key must obtain the approval of the resident. However, if the resident is not at home, the above authentication method cannot be performed, so the package must be taken back and redelivered. This leads to a decrease in efficiency of delivery work and a delay in the receipt date. Therefore, a technology has been proposed that unlocks the door at the common entrance and enables delivery to the recipient in the building by comparing the slip number entered by the delivery company with pre-stored delivery schedule information, such as the technology described in Patent Document 1.

[0003] Patent Document 1 describes that "the authentication unit performs authentication by checking the slip number and gateway ID included in the authentication request against the delivery schedule information stored in the storage unit." [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2022-170588 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] As mentioned above, a technology has been proposed that controls unlocking of the door to the common entrance based on the slip number entered by the delivery company and pre-stored delivery schedule information. However, the technology described in Patent Document 1 has a problem in that anyone who has the slip number can enter the building, making it vulnerable from a security standpoint.

[0006] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to improve entrance and exit security for a building. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention is a people flow management system having an automatic door operation management unit that controls the opening and closing of automatic doors at the entrance of a building based on authentication information for entering the entrance, and comprises an authentication information creation unit that receives an application for issuance of authentication information, creates authentication information, and registers and issues the created authentication information, and an authentication information matching unit that compares the authentication information read by the automatic door operation management unit with the authentication information registered by the authentication information creation unit and transmits the comparison result to the automatic door operation management unit. Effect of the Invention

[0008] According to the present invention having the above configuration, it is possible to improve security for entering and exiting a building. Problems, configurations and effects other than those described above will become apparent from the following description of the embodiments. [Brief description of the drawings]

FIG. [Figure 4] 1 is a flowchart showing the steps of people flow management processing in a people flow management system according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this specification and the drawings, components having substantially the same functions or configurations are designated by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.

[0011] <One embodiment> First, the people flow management system according to the present embodiment will be described. In the following description, an example of the operation of the people flow management system when a delivery person delivers a package to a building will be used, but the present invention is not limited to this. The people flow management system according to the present embodiment can also be applied to visits to a managed building and permitted by the occupants of the visit destination, for example.

[0012] Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a people flow management system 100 according to this embodiment when it is operated. As shown in Fig. 1, a parcel recipient P1 orders a product on an online shop, and a retailer P2 receives the order and ships the product. Then, a delivery company P3 receives the product from the retailer P2, and a delivery person P4 delivers the product.

[0013] When a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone carried by a delivery person (delivery person mobile terminal unit 1 in the figure) detects arrival at the delivery destination building P5 (local location), it applies for issuance of authentication information (e.g., a two-dimensional barcode) to enter building P5. The application for issuance of authentication information is sent to a two-dimensional barcode creation unit 10 of the people flow management system 100. The two-dimensional barcode creation unit 10 creates authentication information (two-dimensional barcode), registers the created two-dimensional barcode in the storage device 54 of the people flow management system 100, and issues (sends) it to the delivery person mobile terminal unit 1.

[0014] Then, deliveryman P4 presents the issued two-dimensional barcode to an authentication device (one component of the automatic door operation management unit 20 in the figure) installed at the entrance of building P5. The automatic door operation management unit 20 reads the presented two-dimensional barcode and transmits it to the two-dimensional barcode matching unit 30 of the people flow management system 100. The two-dimensional barcode matching 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 transmits the comparison result to the automatic door operation management unit 20 of building P5.

[0015] The automatic door operation management unit 20 of building P5 controls the opening and closing of the automatic doors at the entrance based on the authentication information for entering building P5 (the result of matching by the 2D barcode matching unit 30). The automatic door operation management unit 20 also transmits information related to the opening and closing of the automatic doors to the notification content transmission unit 40 of the people flow management system 100. The notification content transmission unit 40 notifies the outside, for example, a person involved in delivery, of the received information related to the opening and closing of the automatic doors.

[0016] [Example of functional configuration of people flow management system] Next, a functional configuration of the people flow management system 100 according to this embodiment will be described. Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the people flow management system 100 according to this embodiment. As shown in Fig. 2, the people flow management system 100 includes a delivery person mobile terminal unit 1, a two-dimensional barcode creation unit 10, an automatic door operation management unit 20, a two-dimensional barcode matching unit 30, a notification content transmission unit 40, and the storage device 54 shown in Fig. 1.

[0017] The deliveryman mobile terminal unit 1 is connected to the two-dimensional barcode creation unit 10 via a wireless communication system so as to be able to transmit and receive information data. The two-dimensional barcode creation unit 10, the two-dimensional barcode matching unit 30, and the notification content transmission unit 40 are connected to be able to transmit and receive information data to and from each other. The two-dimensional barcode creation unit 10, the two-dimensional barcode matching unit 30, and the notification content transmission unit 40 may be configured on the cloud, may be configured on a computer 50 shown in FIG. 3 described later, or may be realized by a Web application. The automatic door operation management unit 20 is installed in a management center or the like of the local building, and is connected to the two-dimensional barcode matching unit 30 and the notification content transmission unit 40 via a network (not shown) consisting of a public line such as the Internet so as to be able to transmit and receive information data.

[0018] (Delivery staff mobile terminal unit 1) The delivery person mobile terminal unit 1 (an example of a visitor terminal unit) is a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or tablet held by a delivery person, and when it detects arrival at a building (local area), it applies for issuance of authentication information to enter the entrance of the building. The delivery person mobile terminal unit 1 has a local arrival determination unit 2, a two-dimensional barcode application transmission unit 3, a two-dimensional barcode receiving unit 4, and a two-dimensional barcode display unit 5. The local arrival determination unit 2, the two-dimensional barcode application transmission unit 3, the two-dimensional barcode receiving unit 4, and the two-dimensional barcode display unit 5 are connected in this order. The functions of each component of the delivery person mobile terminal unit 1 may be realized, for example, by an application implemented in the delivery person mobile terminal unit 1, or may be realized by a Web application displayed on the delivery person mobile terminal unit 1.

[0019] The local arrival determination unit 2 is composed of, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System) in a smartphone or tablet, detects the current location, and determines whether the delivery has arrived at the building (local site) that is the delivery destination. When the local arrival determination unit 2 determines that the delivery has arrived at the local site, it notifies the 2D barcode application transmission unit 3 that the delivery has arrived at the local site.

[0020] When the 2D barcode application sending unit 3 receives a notification of arrival at the location from the local arrival determination unit 2, it transmits authentication information for entering the building entrance, such as an application for issuance of a 2D barcode, to the 2D barcode application receiving unit 11 described below in the 2D barcode creation unit 10.

[0021] The two-dimensional barcode receiving unit 4 receives a two-dimensional barcode from a two-dimensional barcode transmitting unit 13 (to be described later) of the two-dimensional barcode creating unit 10, and outputs the two-dimensional barcode to the two-dimensional barcode display unit 5.

[0022] The two-dimensional barcode display unit 5 displays the two-dimensional barcode input from the two-dimensional barcode receiving unit 4.

[0023] (2D barcode creation section 10) The two-dimensional barcode creation unit 10 (an example of an authentication information creation unit) receives an application for issuance of authentication information for entering a building entrance, creates authentication information, and registers and issues the created authentication information. The two-dimensional barcode creation unit 10 issues the created authentication information to the delivery person mobile terminal unit 1 (visitor terminal unit). The two-dimensional barcode creation unit 10 also generates and registers an expiration date to be linked to the authentication information. The two-dimensional barcode creation unit 10 has a two-dimensional barcode application receiving unit 11, a two-dimensional barcode generation unit 12, a two-dimensional barcode transmission unit 13, and a two-dimensional barcode registration unit 14. The two-dimensional barcode application receiving unit 11, the two-dimensional barcode generation unit 12, the two-dimensional barcode transmission unit 13, and the two-dimensional barcode registration unit 14 are connected in this order.

[0024] The two-dimensional barcode application receiving unit 11 receives an application for issuing a two-dimensional barcode from the two-dimensional barcode application sending unit 3 of the delivery person mobile terminal unit 1, and issues an instruction to the two-dimensional barcode generating unit 12 to create a two-dimensional barcode.

[0025] When an instruction to create a two-dimensional barcode is input, the two-dimensional barcode generation 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 transmission unit 13.

[0026] 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 mobile 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 expiration date of the two-dimensional barcode to the two-dimensional barcode registration unit 14.

[0027] The two-dimensional barcode registration unit 14 registers the two-dimensional barcode input from the two-dimensional barcode transmission unit 13 and the expiration date of the two-dimensional barcode in the storage device 54 (see FIGS. 1 and 3).

[0028] (Automatic Door Operation Management Department 20) The automatic door operation management unit 20 reads the authentication information (two-dimensional barcode) displayed by the delivery person mobile 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 transmission unit 22, a matching 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 transmission unit 22, the matching 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.

[0029] The two-dimensional barcode reading unit 21 is composed of a reading device such as a barcode reader that reads two-dimensional barcodes (authentication information) or a camera, and reads the two-dimensional barcode displayed on the two-dimensional barcode display unit 5 of the delivery person mobile terminal unit 1 and outputs it to the two-dimensional barcode transmission unit 22.

[0030] The two-dimensional barcode transmitting unit 22 outputs the two-dimensional barcode input from the two-dimensional barcode reading unit 21 to the matching result receiving unit 23, and transmits it to a two-dimensional barcode receiving unit 31 of the two-dimensional barcode matching unit 30, which will be described later.

[0031] The matching result receiving unit 23 receives the matching result of the two-dimensional barcode from a matching result transmitting unit 33 (described later) of the two-dimensional barcode matching unit 30, and outputs the matching result to the automatic door opening and closing unit 24.

[0032] The automatic door opening / closing unit 24 outputs an operation instruction for the automatic door based on the collation result input from the collation result receiving unit 23. Specifically, the automatic door opening / closing unit 24 of the automatic door operation managing unit 20 unlocks the automatic door when the authentication information read in the collation result received from the two-dimensional barcode collation unit 30 (authentication information collation unit) matches the authentication information registered by the two-dimensional barcode collation unit 30 (authentication information collation unit) and the current date and time is within the validity period of the authentication information. Furthermore, the automatic door opening / closing unit 24 of the automatic door operation managing unit 20 does not unlock the automatic door when the authentication information read in the collation result received from the two-dimensional barcode collation unit 30 (authentication information collation unit) does not match the authentication information registered by the two-dimensional barcode collation unit 30 (authentication information collation unit) or the current date and time is outside the validity period of the authentication information. Furthermore, the automatic door opening / closing unit 24 outputs information regarding the opening and closing of the automatic door to the automatic door opening / closing contact unit 25.

[0033] The automatic door opening / closing communication unit 25 inputs information regarding the opening and closing of the automatic door from the automatic door opening / closing unit 24, and communicates (transmits) the information to a notification content receiving unit 41 (to be described later) of the notification content transmitting unit 40.

[0034] (2D barcode matching unit 30) The two-dimensional barcode matching unit 30 (an example of an authentication information matching unit) matches the authentication information read by the automatic door operation management unit 20 with the authentication information registered by the two-dimensional barcode creation unit 10 (authentication information creation unit), and transmits the matching result to the automatic door operation management unit 20. The two-dimensional barcode matching unit 30 has a two-dimensional barcode receiving unit 31, a two-dimensional barcode comparing unit 32, and a matching result transmitting unit 33. The two-dimensional barcode receiving unit 31, the two-dimensional barcode comparing unit 32, and the matching result transmitting unit 33 are connected in this order.

[0035] 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 it to the two-dimensional barcode comparing unit 32 .

[0036] The two-dimensional barcode comparison unit 32 collates (compares) the read two-dimensional barcode with the two-dimensional barcode registered in the memory device 54, and outputs the collation result to the collation result transmission unit 33, including information on whether the two-dimensional barcodes match or not and whether the current date and time is within the validity period of the two-dimensional barcode.

[0037] The collation result transmission unit 33 transmits the collation result input from the two-dimensional barcode comparison unit 32 to the collation result reception unit 23 of the automatic door operation management unit 20.

[0038] (Notification content sending unit 40) The notification content transmitting unit 40 notifies the outside of information related to the opening and closing of the automatic door. The notification content transmitting unit 40 has a notification content receiving unit 41, a notification content creating unit 42, and a notification content transmitting unit 43. The notification content receiving unit 41, the notification content creating unit 42, and the notification content transmitting unit 43 are connected in this order.

[0039] The notification content receiving section 41 receives information regarding the opening and closing of the automatic doors from the automatic door opening and closing communication section 25 of the automatic door operation management section 20, and outputs the information to the notification content creating section .

[0040] The notification content creation unit 42 inputs information related to the opening and closing of the automatic door from the notification content receiving unit 41, creates notification content for an external notification recipient, and transmits the created notification content to the notification content sending unit 43. Note that the notification recipient may include, for example, at least one of the manager of the delivery person, the manager of the local facility, the recipient at the delivery destination, and the delivery person.

[0041] The notification content sending unit 43 sends the notification content created by the notification content creating unit 42 to the notification recipient. Here, when the notification content sending unit 43 receives information on unlocking the automatic door from the notification content receiving unit 41, it notifies the notification recipient, such as the delivery person's manager or the manager of the local facility, of the created notification content. When the notification content sending unit 43 receives information on the inability to unlock the automatic door from the notification content receiving unit 41, it sends the created notification content to the deliverer. Note that the notification content sending unit 43 may send the notification content to the notification recipient by, for example, email, SMS (Short Message Service), etc.

[0042] In the above explanation, the delivery person mobile terminal unit 1 and the automatic door operation management unit 20 are internal components of the people flow management system 100, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the delivery person mobile terminal unit 1 and the automatic door operation management unit 20 may be external components of the people flow management system 100.

[0043] Next, a description will be given of the hardware configuration of a computer 50 constituting a device that realizes the functions of the 2D barcode creation unit 10, the 2D barcode matching unit 30, and the notification content transmission unit 40 of the people flow management system 100. The automatic door operation management unit 20 of the people flow management system 100 may also be configured with the computer 50. Figure 3 is a block diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of a computer constituting a device that realizes the functions of each functional component unit of the people flow management system 100 according to this embodiment.

[0044] 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.

[0045] The CPU 51 reads out program code of software for implementing each function according to the present embodiment from the ROM 52, loads it into the RAM 53, and executes it. Variables, parameters, etc. generated during the arithmetic processing of the CPU 51 are temporarily written into the RAM 53, and these variables, parameters, etc. are read out as appropriate by the CPU 51. However, instead of the CPU 51, an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), etc. may be used.

[0046] The ROM 52 is configured by a storage medium such as a non-volatile memory, and stores programs and data executed and referenced by the CPU 51.

[0047] The RAM 53 is configured with a storage medium such as a volatile memory, and temporarily stores information (data) necessary for each process performed by the CPU 51.

[0048] The storage device 54 is configured as a computer-readable non-transitory recording medium storing the program executed by the CPU 51, and is configured as a storage device such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The storage device 54 stores programs for the CPU 51 to control each part, an OS (Operating System), a controller, and other programs and data. Note that some of the programs and data stored in the storage device 54 may be stored in the ROM 52. The computer-readable non-transitory recording medium storing the program executed by the CPU 51 is not limited to an 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.

[0049] The network interface 55 may be, for example, a network interface card (NIC), and various data can be transmitted and received between devices via a local area network (LAN) or dedicated line connected to a terminal of the NIC.

[0050] [People flow management processing procedure] Next, a description will be given of the procedure of people flow management processing in the people flow management system 100. Fig. 4 is a flowchart showing the procedure of people flow management processing in the people flow management system 100 according to this embodiment. The processing described below starts when a delivery person arrives at the site.

[0051] First, the local arrival determination unit 2 of the delivery person mobile terminal unit 1 determines whether or not the delivery person has arrived at the local building (step S1). In this process, the local arrival determination unit 2 may compare the position information detected by the GPS with map information to determine whether or not the delivery person has arrived at the address (local) of the building registered in advance, or the delivery person may check in from the screen of the delivery person mobile terminal unit 1 when the delivery person arrives at the local building.

[0052] In the process of step S1, if the local arrival determination unit 2 determines that the vehicle has not arrived at the local area (if the determination is NO in step S1), the process returns to step S1.

[0053] On the other hand, in the process of step S1, if the local arrival determination unit 2 determines that the parcel has arrived at the local location (if the determination in step S1 is YES), a process of issuing a two-dimensional barcode (step S2) is performed. In the process of step S2, the two-dimensional barcode application transmission unit 3 transmits an application for issuing a two-dimensional barcode to the two-dimensional barcode application reception unit 11 of the two-dimensional barcode creation unit 10. The content of the issuance application includes the identification information of the deliverer and information that can identify the target facility, such as the management number of the target facility. The two-dimensional barcode application reception unit 11 notifies the two-dimensional barcode generation unit 12 to generate a two-dimensional barcode. The two-dimensional barcode generation unit 12 newly generates a two-dimensional barcode including the identification information of the target facility and the identification information of the deliverer, and an expiration date to be linked to the two-dimensional barcode, and outputs the generated two-dimensional barcode to the two-dimensional barcode transmission unit 13. Furthermore, the 2D barcode registration unit 14 registers the 2D barcode transmitted by the 2D barcode transmission unit 13 and the expiration date of the 2D barcode in the storage device 54. The 2D barcode may also include other authentication keys and other information. The expiration date may be set to an appropriate time period, such as 30 minutes after the 2D barcode is issued. The 2D barcode transmission unit 13 issues (transmits) the 2D barcode created by the 2D barcode generation unit 12 to the 2D barcode reception unit 4 of the delivery person mobile terminal 1.

[0054] Next, a process of reading the presented two-dimensional barcode (step S3) is performed. In the process of step S3, the two-dimensional barcode receiving unit 4 of the delivery person mobile terminal unit 1 outputs the two-dimensional barcode received from the two-dimensional barcode creating unit 10 to the two-dimensional barcode display unit 5, and the two-dimensional barcode display unit 5 displays the two-dimensional barcode according to 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 presented by the delivery person, i.e., the two-dimensional barcode displayed on the two-dimensional barcode display unit 5. The two-dimensional barcode reading unit 21 transmits the read two-dimensional barcode to the two-dimensional barcode receiving unit 31 of the two-dimensional barcode matching unit 30 via the two-dimensional barcode transmitting unit 22.

[0055] Next, a process (step S4) is performed to determine whether the two-dimensional barcode presented by the delivery person matches the registered information. In the process of step S4, the two-dimensional barcode comparison unit 32 of the two-dimensional barcode verification unit 30 compares the two-dimensional barcode received by the two-dimensional barcode reception unit 31 (presented two-dimensional barcode) with the two-dimensional barcode registered in the storage device 54 (registered information) to confirm the expiration date of the two-dimensional barcode. If the two-dimensional barcode comparison unit 32 determines that the presented two-dimensional barcode matches the registered information and that the current date and time is within the expiration date of the two-dimensional barcode, the determination in step S4 is YES. On the other hand, if the two-dimensional barcode comparison unit 32 determines that the presented two-dimensional barcode does not match the registered information or that the current date and time is outside the expiration date of the two-dimensional barcode, the determination in step S4 is NO. In addition, the two-dimensional barcode comparison unit 32 outputs the verification result of the two-dimensional barcode to the verification result transmission unit 33. The collation result transmitting unit 33 transmits the collation result to the collation result receiving unit 23 of the automatic door operation managing unit 20.

[0056] If it is determined in the process of step S4 that the presented two-dimensional barcode matches the registered information (if step S4 returns YES), the automatic door opening / closing unit 24 of the automatic door operation management unit 20 unlocks the automatic door (step S5). Also in this process, the automatic door opening / closing unit 24 outputs information related to the unlocking of the automatic door to the automatic door opening / closing communication unit 25. The automatic door opening / closing communication unit 25 communicates (sends) the information related to the unlocking to the notification content receiving unit 41 of the notification content transmitting unit 40.

[0057] Next, a process (step S6) is performed to notify the notification recipient of information related to unlocking the automatic door. In the process of step S6, the notification content creation unit 42 creates notification content for the notification recipient based on the information related to unlocking the automatic door input from the notification content receiving unit 41, and transmits the created notification content to the notification content sending unit 43. The notification content sending unit 43 notifies the notification recipient of the notification content created by the notification content creation unit 42.

[0058] On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S4 that the presented two-dimensional barcode does not match the registration information (NO in step S4), a process of notifying the delivery person (step S7) is performed. In the process of step S7, the automatic door opening / closing unit 24 outputs information that the automatic door cannot be unlocked to the automatic door opening / closing communication unit 25. The automatic door opening / closing communication unit 25 transmits (notifies) the information that the automatic door cannot be unlocked to the notification content receiving unit 41 of the notification content transmitting unit 40. The notification content creating unit 42 of the notification content transmitting unit 40 creates notification content for the delivery person based on the information that the automatic door cannot be unlocked, and outputs it to the notification content transmitting unit 43. The notification content transmitting unit 43 notifies the delivery person of the created notification content.

[0059] After the processing of step S6 or step S7, the people flow management processing ends.

[0060] When the delivery person receives a notification that the automatic door cannot be unlocked, the delivery person can manually send an application for issuance of a two-dimensional barcode using the delivery person mobile terminal unit 1, and the above-mentioned processes of steps S2 to S7 will be carried out again. In addition, in the above description, a two-dimensional barcode is described as the authentication information, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the authentication information may be, for example, any of a barcode, a two-dimensional barcode, a PIN number, etc.

[0061] [effect] As described above, the people flow management system 100 according to 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 the issued authentication information by linking it to an expiration date. In addition, when the visitor presents the authentication information to an authentication device at the entrance of the building, the people flow management system 100 verifies the authentication information and also checks the expiration date linked to the authentication information. Therefore, according to the people flow management system 100 according to the present embodiment, the visitor does not need to manually unlock the door when entering the building. In addition, the people flow management system 100 issues authentication information to a mobile terminal device (visitor mobile terminal unit) held by the visitor and assigns an expiration date to the authentication information, thereby preventing the authentication information from being reused, and improving the security of entering and exiting the building.

[0062] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various other applications and modifications are possible without departing from the gist of the present invention as set forth in the claims. For example, the above-described embodiment describes the configuration of the people flow management system in detail and specifically in order to explain the present invention in an easy-to-understand manner, and is not necessarily limited to having all of the configurations described. In addition, it is possible to replace part of the configuration of the embodiment described here with the configuration of another embodiment, and it is also possible to add the configuration of another embodiment to the configuration of one embodiment. In addition, it is also possible to add, delete, or replace part of the configuration of an embodiment with another configuration. In addition, the control lines and information lines shown are those that are considered necessary for the explanation, and not all control lines and information lines in the product are necessarily shown. In reality, it can be considered that almost all components are connected to each other. [Explanation of symbols]
