[0053] After checking the display screen of the mobile terminal 70, the delivery company visits the destination apartment complex with the delivery item and arrives at the entrance of the apartment complex where the collective entrance machine 10 is installed. Here, it is assumed that the display unit 11 of the collective entrance machine 10 installed at the entrance of the apartment complex visited by the delivery company displays an operation screen as an initial screen including a room call button (call operation unit 111) for calling each dwelling unit of the apartment complex, a service input unit 112 for executing services for service providers such as delivery companies, and a slip number input button (service information input unit 113) for inputting the tracking number (slip number) of the delivery item.

[0054] First, the delivery company touches the service input unit 112 displayed on the initial screen of the display unit 11 to input the name of the company to which the delivery company belongs, etc. Inputting the company name into the service input unit 112 is an example of a service input for executing a service by a service provider. When the service input unit 112 is touched, the collective entrance unit 10 accepts the input content entered by the touch operation (step S101). For example, the collective entrance unit 10 accepts the input of the company name of the delivery company selected by touch operation on the service input unit 112. The collective entrance unit 10 generates delivery service information including the information of the delivery company entered by operating the service input unit 112, and transmits the generated delivery service information to the control unit 20 via the communication IF 15 and the intercom line L (step S102). The control unit 20 receives the delivery service information transmitted by the collective entrance unit 10 (step S103).

[0055] The control unit 20 that has received the delivery service information generates an imaging start signal that causes the camera 13 of the collective entrance unit 10 to start capturing images. The control unit 20 transmits the generated imaging start signal to the collective entrance unit 10 (step S104). When the collective entrance device 10 receives the imaging start signal, it causes the camera 13 to start imaging the visitor (step S105), and the camera 13 starts imaging the visitor near the collective entrance device 10. The collective entrance device 10 transmits the imaging data captured by the camera 13 to the control device 20 (step S106). The control unit 20 receives the imaging data transmitted from the collective entrance unit 10 (step S107).

[0056] Next, a room call button (call operation unit 111) is displayed on the display unit of the collective entrance machine 10. The delivery company inputs the room information (room number) to which the delivery is to be sent into the room call button. The collective entrance machine 10 accepts the input of the room information (step S108). The collective entrance machine 10 transmits the input of the room information to the control machine 20 (step S109). The control machine 20 receives the room information from the collective entrance machine 10 (step S110).

[0057] Next, an unlocking screen for unlocking the door 80 is displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 70. When the delivery company performs an operation on the screen of the mobile terminal 70 to instruct unlocking of the door 80, the mobile terminal 70 accepts an unlocking request instructing unlocking of the door 80 (step S111). The mobile terminal 70 transmits the unlocking request to the server device 60 (step S112). The server device 60 receives the unlocking request (step S113). The server device 60 reads information about the delivery piece from the data table 61a based on the received unlocking request. For example, the server device 60 reads the company name and delivery address of the delivery company stored in the data table 61a, and generates an unlocking request signal including the read information and the unlocking request received from the mobile terminal 70. The server device 60 transmits the generated unlocking request signal to the control device 20 (step S114). The control device 20 receives the unlocking request signal (step S115).

[0058] When the control unit 20 receives the room information from the collective entrance unit 10 and receives an unlock request signal from the server device 60, it compares the room information with the unlock request included in the unlock request signal (step S116). Specifically, the control unit 20 compares the delivery address information included in the unlock request sent by the mobile terminal 70 with the address information included in the room information received from the collective entrance unit 10. Specifically, the control unit 20 compares the room information (room number) included in the room information received in step S110 with the delivery address information included in the unlock request signal received in step S115. If the delivery address information included in the unlock request matches the address information included in the room information received from the collective entrance unit 10, the control unit 20 determines that the comparison is successful (YES in step S116) and generates an unlock instruction signal that instructs unlocking the door 80. The control unit 20 transmits the generated unlock instruction signal to the door control device 81 (step S117). When the door control device 81 receives the door unlock signal, it unlocks the door 80 (step S118).

[0059] When the door 80 is unlocked, the delivery company passes through the door 80 and delivers the item to a specified delivery location. For example, the delivery company completes the delivery by placing an item that is designated as being available for drop-off and for which a location for the item to be left is specified in the designated location (for example, in a drop-off delivery receiving bag installed at the entrance of the delivery destination's room).

[0060] Returning to step S116, if the delivery address information included in the unlocking request matches the address information included in the room information received from the collective entrance unit 10, the control unit 20 determines that the match is successful (YES in step S116) and identifies the room master unit 30 associated with the room information received in step S110 based on the room information received in step S110 and the room master unit ID stored in the call table 22a. The control unit 20 transmits the imaging data captured by the camera 13 held by the control unit 20 to the room master unit 30 associated with the room information received in step S110 (step S119). The room master unit 30 receives the imaging data (step S120) and displays the imaging data on the display unit 31.

[0061] On the other hand, in step S116, if the delivery address information included in the unlocking request does not match the address information included in the room information received from the collective entrance device 10, the control device 20 determines that the comparison has failed (NO in step S116), returns to step S116, and waits until a new unlocking request signal is received. In this way, the process of step S116 is repeated until the delivery address information included in the unlocking request matches the address information included in the room information received from the collective entrance device 10.

[0062] As described above, the control system 1 according to the present embodiment includes the collective entrance device 10 installed at the entrance of the apartment house and equipped with the camera 13, a plurality of room master devices 30 associated with each of a plurality of rooms included in the apartment house, a door control device 81 that controls locking and unlocking of the door 80 installed at the entrance, a server device 60 capable of communicating with a mobile terminal 70 associated with a service provider, and a controller 20 capable of communicating with the collective entrance device 10, the room master device 30, the door control device 81, and the server device 60. The collective entrance device 10 has a service input unit 112 for executing a predetermined service provided by the service provider, and a call operation unit 111 (room information input unit) capable of inputting room information related to each of the plurality of rooms. The server device 60 is configured to receive a request to unlock the door 80 from the mobile terminal 70 and transmit the unlock request to the controller 20. The controller 20 starts capturing images with the camera 13 when an operation on the service input unit 112 is accepted. In addition, when the control unit 20 receives input of room information at the call operation unit 111 (room information input unit), it compares the unlocking request with the room information, and if it determines that the comparison is successful, it is configured to send an unlocking instruction to the door control device 81 and transmit image data captured by the camera 13 to the target room master unit 30 associated with the input room information among the multiple room master units 30, without performing a call operation on the target room master unit 30 associated with the input room information. According to the above configuration, when the control device 20 successfully collates the unlocking request received from the server device 60 with the room information input by the call operation unit 111 (room information input unit), the door 80 is unlocked, so that the visitor, the delivery company, can enter the apartment complex at the delivery destination, and can make a delivery such as a drop-off without calling the resident of the delivery destination. This saves the delivery company the trouble of calling the resident, and eliminates the waiting time for the call response, thereby shortening the delivery time. In addition, the imaging data that starts imaging when the operation on the service input unit 112 is accepted is transmitted to the target room master unit 30 associated with the room information that is the delivery destination, so that the resident who receives the drop-off can check the image of the delivery company on the target room master unit 30, ensuring security.

[0063] (First Modification of First Embodiment) In the above first embodiment, an example has been described in which one piece of room information is input to the room information input unit (call operation unit 111) of the collective entrance device 10, but the number of inputs of room information in the control system of the present disclosure is not limited to one. Below, an example of a control system in which inputs of multiple pieces of room information are accepted will be described with reference to Figures 1, 2, and 4. Figure 4 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the operation of this modified example.

[0064] In this modified example, a delivery company delivers deliveries to multiple rooms in the same apartment building, for example, two deliveries to different rooms. The two deliveries are, for example, a first deliveries (tracking number "101-***-***", delivery address of the first deliveries "Room 101 La ***, Meguro-ku, Tokyo", delivery method of the first deliveries "No drop-off") and a second deliveries (tracking number "108-***-***", delivery address of the second deliveries "Room 201 La ***, Meguro-ku, Tokyo", delivery method of the second deliveries "Can be dropped-off"), and are deliveries to be delivered within the same apartment building "La ***". The call operation unit 111 (room call button) of the collective entrance terminal 10 is made up of a plurality of input fields for inputting the room number (room information) of the first delivery piece and the room information of the second delivery piece.

[0065] Other configurations of the control system 1 of this modified example are similar to those of the first embodiment described above, so the same reference numerals are used in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 to indicate the configurations, and duplicated explanations will be omitted.

[0066] (Example 2) In Fig. 4, a visitor who is a delivery person visits an apartment building with a first delivery and a second delivery. The delivery person operates the service input unit 112 from among the call operation unit 111, the service input unit 112, and the service information input unit 113 displayed on the initial screen of the display unit 11 of the collective entrance machine 10 to input the name of the company he belongs to, etc. The collective entrance machine 10 accepts the input from the service input unit 112 (step S201). Each step from step S202 to step S207 is the same as step S102 to step S107 shown in the flowchart of Fig. 3, so duplicated explanations will be omitted.

[0067] Following the input in the service input unit 112, the delivery company inputs the room information of the first delivery item to the call operation unit 111. When the room information of the first delivery item is input from the call operation unit 111, the collective entrance device 10 accepts the input of the room information of the first delivery item as the input of the first (n=1) room information (step S208), and transmits the accepted room information of the first delivery item (nth room information) to the control device 20 (step S209).

[0068] Next, the collective entrance device 10 judges whether the n+1th room information has been input within a predetermined time after the nth room information was input (step S211). When the delivery person operates the display unit 11 within a predetermined time (e.g., within 30 seconds) to input the room information of the second delivery piece, the collective entrance device 10 judges that the "n+1"th (n=1) room information has been input (YES in step S211), accepts the input of the room information of the second delivery piece (step S212), and transmits the accepted room information of the second delivery piece to the control device 20 (step S213).

[0069] On the other hand, if the "n+1"th room information is not input within a specified time after the nth room information is input into the collective entrance machine 10 (NO in step S211), the collective entrance machine 10 terminates the process of accepting the input operation of room information.

[0070] Next, similarly to the first embodiment, the mobile terminal 70 accepts a request from the delivery company to unlock the door 80 (step S215). The processes from step S216 to step S219 are similar to steps S112 to S115 in FIG. 3, so redundant explanations will be omitted.

[0071] In step S220 of Fig. 4, the control unit 20 collates the n-th room information received in step S210 and the n+1-th room information received in step S214. Specifically, for the first delivery, the control unit 20 collates the delivery destination information (room information) received in step S210 with the delivery address information included in the unlock request signal received in step S219. If the delivery destination information (room information) received in step S210 for the first delivery matches the delivery address information included in the unlock request signal received in step S219, the control unit 20 determines that the collation is successful (YES in step S220), generates an unlock instruction signal to unlock the door 80, transmits the generated release instruction signal to the door control device 81 (step S221), and transmits the imaging data associated with the room information received in step S210 to the target room master unit 30 associated with the room information of the first delivery (step S223). Similarly, the control unit 20 compares the n+1th room information received in step S214 for the second delivery piece with the delivery address information included in the unlock request signal received in step S219. If the n+1th room information received in step S214 for the second delivery piece matches the delivery address information included in the unlock request signal received in step S219, the control unit 20 determines that the comparison is successful (YES in step S220), generates a signal to unlock the door 80, and transmits the generated signal to unlock the door 80 to the door control device 81 (step S221), and transmits the imaging data associated with the room information received in step S214 to the target room master unit 30 associated with the room information of the second delivery piece (step S223). The process when the comparison in step S220 fails is the same as that in the case of NO in step S116 in FIG. 3, step S222 is the same as step S118 in FIG. 3, and step S224 is the same as step S120 in FIG. 3, so duplicated explanations will be omitted.

[0072] As described above, in the control system 1 of this modified example, when the control unit 20 receives input of multiple room information in the call operation unit 111 (room information input unit), it may transmit the imaging data associated with each target room information among the imaging data to each target room master unit 30 associated with each of the multiple input room information. According to this configuration, image data captured by the camera 13 of the collective entrance unit 10 is transmitted to each target room master unit 30 associated with each piece of room information, allowing the visitor's image to be checked on each target room master unit 30, ensuring security and improving convenience for each resident.

[0073] (Second Modification of First Embodiment) In the first embodiment, the control system 1 is described as transmitting image data captured by the camera 13 to the room master unit 30, but the control system of the present disclosure is not limited to the above configuration. The control system 1 may be configured to transmit visitor entry information to the destination of the image data in addition to transmitting the image data. An example of transmitting the entry information will be described below with reference to Figs. 1, 2 and 5. Fig. 5 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the operation of this modified example.

[0074] The control unit 20 is configured to control the operation of the collective entrance unit 10 and the like, as well as to generate the entrance information of the service provider at a predetermined timing, similar to the control unit 20 in the first embodiment. The entrance information of the service provider is information that identifies the service provider or delivery person who enters the collective housing complex, and includes, for example, the company name of the delivery company. The entrance information is displayed on the display unit 31 of the living room master unit 30 or the display unit 51 of the management room master unit 50. The display on the display units 11 and 51 may be a text display of "XX (the company name of the delivery company) has entered the building", or may be a voice output of "XX (the company name of the delivery company) has entered the building". In this modified example, an example in which the entrance information is generated by the control unit 20 will be described, but the entrance information may be generated by the collective entrance unit 10, or may be generated by the mobile terminal 70 and transmitted to the control unit 20. Other configurations of the control system 1 of this modified example are similar to those of the first embodiment described above, so the same reference numerals are used in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 to indicate the configurations, and duplicated explanations will be omitted.

[0075] (Example 3) A delivery company that arrives at a destination apartment building with a package enters the name of the company to which the delivery company belongs, etc., into the service input unit 112 of the collective entrance machine 10. The collective entrance machine 10 accepts the information such as the company name entered by the service input unit 112 (step S301), and transmits delivery service information including the information of the delivery company entered by operating the service input unit 112 to the control machine 20 (step S302). The control unit 20 receives the delivery service information (step S303), generates an imaging start signal for starting imaging by the camera 13, and transmits the generated imaging start signal to the collective entrance unit 10 (step S304), and generates entrance information of the service provider (step S306). Note that step S305 is the same as step S105 in FIG. 3, and step S308 is the same as step S107 in FIG. 3.

[0076] Next, the control unit 20 receives the room information (step S309), similar to steps S108 to S110 in FIG. 3 of the first embodiment described above, and receives a request signal to unlock the door 80, similar to steps S111 to S115 in FIG. 3 (step S310. Since these steps are overlapping, steps other than S309 and S310 are omitted from FIG. 4). The control unit 20 compares the room information with the unlocking request (step S311), similar to step S116 in Fig. 3. If the delivery address information included in the unlocking request matches the address information included in the room information received from the collective entrance unit 10, the control unit 20 determines that the comparison was successful (YES in step S311), transmits an unlocking instruction signal, similar to step S117 in Fig. 3 (a step equivalent to step S117 is not shown in Fig. 4), and transmits the imaging data and entry information to the room master unit 30 (step S312). The room master unit 30 receives the imaging data and the building entry information (step S313), displays an image based on the imaging data on the display unit 31, and also displays the building entry information on the display unit 31.

[0077] On the other hand, if the delivery address information included in the unlocking request does not match the address information included in the room information received from the collective entrance unit 10, the control unit 20 determines that the matching of the unlocking request with the room information has failed (NO in step S311), returns to step S311, and waits until a new unlocking request signal is received.

[0078] As described above, in the control system 1 of this modified example, the control unit 20 may be configured to generate entry information of the service provider when it accepts an operation on the service input unit 112 to start imaging by the camera 13, and to transmit the entry information to the room master unit 30 when it transmits the imaging data to the room master unit 30. According to this configuration, in addition to the imaging data, the entry information is transmitted to the target room master unit 30 associated with the delivery destination room information. Therefore, the resident receiving the delivery can check the video of the delivery company and the delivery company's entry into the premises on the room master unit 30, improving convenience for the resident.

[0079] Second Embodiment In the above first embodiment, an example has been described in which imaging data captured by the camera 13 is transmitted to the room master unit 30, but in the control system of the present disclosure, imaging data may also be transmitted to the management room master unit 50. An example of transmitting imaging data to the management room master unit 50 will be described below with reference to Figures 1, 2 and 6. Figure 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of this second embodiment.

[0080] In this embodiment, the display unit 11 of the collective entrance machine 10 is configured to display a service input unit 112 and a service information input unit 113 as an initial screen. Furthermore, the collective entrance machine 10 is configured to generate delivery service information including the inputted company name of the delivery company and information on the tracking number of the delivery item, when the service input unit 112 of the display unit 11 accepts input of the company name of the delivery company.

[0081] In this embodiment, the mobile terminal 70 is configured to display information about each piece on the screen of the mobile terminal 70 and to store information about each piece in the mobile terminal 70 from when the piece is loaded to when the delivery of the piece is completed. When a request to unlock the door 80 is input from the screen of the mobile terminal 70, the mobile terminal 70 is configured to refer to the information about the piece stored in the mobile terminal 70, acquire information about the piece associated with the door 80, and generate an unlock request signal including the acquired information about the piece and an unlock request. The information about the piece associated with the door 80 is, for example, information about the piece whose delivery address includes the building name of the apartment building that has the door 80, specifically, detailed address information including the room number of the delivery destination, and the company name of the courier that delivers the piece. Other configurations of the control system 1 according to this embodiment are similar to those of the control system 1 according to the first embodiment described above, so the same reference numerals are used in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 to indicate the configurations, and duplicated explanations will be omitted.

[0082] (Example 1) An operation example of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. When the name of the delivery company to which the user belongs is input in the service input unit 112 of the collective entrance machine 10, the collective entrance machine 10 accepts the input company name of the delivery company (step S401). Next, when the tracking number of the delivery (an example of service information) is input in the service information input unit 113, the collective entrance machine 10 accepts the input tracking number (step S402). The collective entrance machine 10 generates delivery service information including the delivery company's company name and tracking number information, and transmits the generated delivery service information to the control machine 20 (step S403). The control machine 20 receives the delivery service information from the collective entrance machine 10 (step S404). Steps S405 to S408 are the same as steps S104 to S107 in FIG. 3 of the first embodiment, and therefore descriptions of the overlapping steps will be omitted.

[0083] Next, when the delivery company performs an operation on the screen of the mobile terminal 70 to instruct unlocking of the door 80, the mobile terminal 70 accepts an unlock request instructing unlocking of the door 80 (step S409). The mobile terminal 70 that accepts the unlock request acquires information on the delivery piece associated with the door 80 stored in the mobile terminal 70, and generates an unlock request signal including the acquired information on the delivery piece and the unlock request. Here, the mobile terminal 70 acquires the company name and tracking number of the delivering delivery company as information on the delivery piece associated with the door 80, and generates an unlock request signal including the acquired company name and tracking number. The mobile terminal 70 transmits the generated unlock request signal to the server device 60 (step S410). The server device 60 receives an unlocking request signal from the mobile terminal 70 (step S411), and transmits the unlocking request signal to the controller 20 (step S412).

[0084] When the control unit 20 receives an input operation of the service input unit 112, the control unit 20 collates the input contents inputted by the service input unit 112 with the unlocking request signal received from the server device 60 (step S414). Specifically, the control unit 20 collates the information of the company name of the delivery company inputted by the service input unit 112 and the tracking number inputted by the service information input unit 113 with the information of the company name of the delivery company and the tracking number included in the unlocking request signal generated by the mobile terminal 70. When the information of the company name of the delivery company inputted by the service input unit 112 and the tracking number inputted by the service information input unit 113 matches with the information of the company name of the delivery company and the tracking number included in the unlocking request signal generated by the mobile terminal 70, the control unit 20 determines that the collation is successful (YES in step S414), generates an unlocking instruction signal instructing to unlock the door 80, and transmits the generated unlocking instruction signal to the door control device 81 (step S415). When the door control device 81 receives the unlock instruction signal, it unlocks the door 80 (step S416).

[0085] Furthermore, if the control unit 20 determines that the information on the delivery company's company name entered by the service input unit 112 and the tracking number entered by the service information input unit 113 matches the information on the delivery company's company name and tracking number included in the unlocking request signal generated by the mobile terminal 70 and that the comparison is successful (YES in step S414), it transmits image data captured by the camera 13 to the management room master unit 50 (step S417). The management room master unit 50 receives the image data (step S418) and displays an image based on the image data on the display unit 51.

[0086] When door 80 is unlocked, the delivery company passes through door 80 and delivers the item to a specified delivery location. For example, the delivery company completes the delivery by placing an item that is designated as being able to be left at a designated location and that has a designated place to leave the item (for example, in a delivery box installed in a common space in an apartment building). If the collation in step S414 fails (NO in step S414), the process is the same as that in the case of NO in step 116 in FIG.

[0087] As described above, the control system 1 according to the present embodiment includes the collective entrance device 10 installed at the entrance of the collective housing complex and equipped with the camera 13, the management room master device 50 installed in the management room in the collective housing complex, the door control device 81 that controls the locking and unlocking of the door 80 installed at the entrance, the server device 60 that can communicate with the mobile terminal 70 associated with the service provider, and the control unit 20 that can communicate with the collective entrance device 10, the management room master device 50, the door control device 81, and the server device 60. The collective entrance device 10 has a service input unit 112 for executing a predetermined service provided by the service provider, and a service information input unit 113 that can input service information linked to the service. The server device 60 is configured to receive a request to unlock the door 80 from the mobile terminal 70 and transmit the unlock request to the control unit 20. When the control unit 20 receives an input operation to the service input unit 112, it starts capturing images with the camera 13. In addition, when the control unit 20 receives an input operation of the service input unit 112, it compares the input content entered at the service input unit 112 with the unlocking request signal received from the server device 60, and if it determines that the comparison is successful, it is configured to send an instruction to unlock the door 80 to the door control device 81 and transmit the image data captured by the camera 13 to the management room master unit 50. With this configuration, the delivery company can unlock the door 80 by requesting unlocking via the mobile terminal 70 and inputting information into the service input unit 112 and the service information input unit 113 of the collective entrance unit 10, so that the visitor can make deliveries such as leaving the parcel at the door without calling the resident at the delivery destination, thereby shortening the delivery time. Also, since the image data is sent to the management room master unit 50, the image of the delivery company can be confirmed on the management room master unit 50, ensuring security.

[0088] In the second embodiment, similarly to the second modified example of the first embodiment, in addition to transmitting the imaging data captured by the camera 13, visitor entry information may be transmitted to the management room master unit 50. In this case, the control unit 20 may generate the entry information in the same manner as in step S306 in Fig. 5, following step S404 in Fig. 6 where the delivery service information is received. Furthermore, in step S417 where the control unit 20 transmits the imaging data to the management room master unit 50 in Fig. 6, the control unit 20 may transmit the imaging data and the entry information to the management room master unit 50 in the same manner as in step S312 shown in Fig. 5. According to this configuration, in addition to the imaging data, the entry information is transmitted to the management room parent unit 50, so that the manager of the management room can check the image of the delivery person and the delivery person's entry into the premises on the management room parent unit 50, thereby ensuring security.

[0089] Third embodiment In the above first embodiment, an example has been described in which an unlocking request is collated with room information when input of room information is accepted in the room information input unit (call operation unit 111), but input of room information in the control system of the present disclosure is not limited to the room information input unit of the collective entrance machine 10. Hereinafter, a third embodiment of the control system of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Figs. 1, 2, and 7. Fig. 7 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the operation of the control system according to the third embodiment.

[0090] The server device 60 in this embodiment has a function of collecting information on deliveries received from the server of the delivery company and creating a data table 61a, similar to the configuration of the first embodiment. The data table 61a stores the company name of the delivery company that makes the delivery, information identifying the delivery (such as the tracking number of the delivery), delivery destination information of the delivery (delivery destination address, delivery destination recipient name), and delivery method information, all of which are associated with each other. For example, the data table 61a stores the company name A of the delivery company and information on all deliveries that the company name A is "in delivery" in, all of which are associated with each other.

[0091] In addition, the mobile terminal 70 of this embodiment is configured to display information about each piece on the screen of the mobile terminal 70, as in the second embodiment, and to store information about each piece in the mobile terminal 70 from when the piece is loaded to when the delivery of the piece is completed. In addition, the mobile terminal 70 of this embodiment is configured to, when a request to unlock the door 80 is input from the screen of the mobile terminal 70, refer to the information about the piece stored in the mobile terminal 70, acquire information about the piece associated with the door 80, and generate an unlock request signal including the acquired information about the piece and an unlock request. The information about the piece associated with the door 80 is, for example, information about the piece that includes the building name of the apartment building that has the door 80 in the delivery address, and specifically, the delivery address of the piece and the company name of the courier that delivers the piece.

[0092] Other configurations of the control system 1 according to the third embodiment are similar to those of the control system 1 according to the first embodiment, so the same reference numerals are used in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 to indicate the configurations, and duplicated explanations will be omitted.

[0093] (Example 1) 7, the collective entrance device 10 accepts information such as the name of the company that a delivery company that has come to the apartment complex as a delivery destination with a package has entered through the service input unit 112 (step S501), generates delivery service information including the information of the delivery company entered through the operation of the service input unit 112, and transmits the generated delivery service information to the control device 20 (step S502). Steps S503 to S507 in Fig. 7 are similar to steps S103 to S107 in Fig. 3 of the above-mentioned first embodiment, and therefore redundant explanations will be omitted.

[0094] Next, when the delivery company performs an operation to request unlocking of the door 80, the mobile terminal 70 accepts the unlock request (step S508). The mobile terminal 70 that accepted the unlock request acquires information on the delivery piece associated with the door 80 by referring to the information on the delivery piece stored in the mobile terminal 70. Here, the mobile terminal 70 acquires, as the information on the delivery piece, information on the delivery address including the room number (room information) and information on the company name of the delivery company that delivers the delivery piece. The mobile terminal 70 generates an unlock request signal including the acquired information on the delivery piece and the unlock request. In this way, the room information (room number) that is the delivery destination is specified in the mobile terminal 70, and therefore the time when the mobile terminal 70 accepts the unlock request from the delivery company is the time when the mobile terminal 70 accepts input of the room information (room number).

[0095] The mobile terminal 70 transmits the generated unlock request signal to the server device 60 (step S509). The server device 60 receives the unlock request signal (step S510) and extracts information about the delivery item stored in the data table 61a based on the company name of the delivery company and the room information included in the unlock request signal. Here, the server device 60 extracts information about the delivery address of the delivery item and information about the company name of the delivery company that will deliver the delivery item from the data table 61a as information about the delivery item, generates delivery information based on the extracted information, and generates an unlock request signal to which the generated delivery information is added. The server device 60 transmits the unlock request signal to which the delivery information is added to the control unit 20 (step S511).

[0096] The control unit 20 receives the unlock request signal to which the delivery information is added (step S512) and judges whether the matching is successful or not (step S513). Specifically, the control unit 20 compares the room information (room number) included in the unlock request signal received from the mobile terminal 70 via the server device 60 with the room information (room number) included in the delivery information added by the server device 60. If the room information included in the unlock request signal matches the room information included in the delivery information, the control unit 20 judges that the matching is successful (YES in step S513) and generates an unlock instruction signal that instructs unlocking the door 80. The control unit 20 transmits the generated unlock instruction signal to the door control device 81 (step S514). When the door control device 81 receives the door unlock signal, it unlocks the door 80 (step S515).

[0097] Furthermore, if the control unit 20 determines that the room information included in the unlocking request signal matches the room information included in the delivery information and that the comparison is successful (YES in step S513), it identifies the room master unit 30 associated with the room information compared in step S513 based on the room information included in the unlocking request signal and the call table 22a, and transmits imaging data to the identified room master unit 30 (S516). In other words, if the control unit 20 determines that the comparison in step S513 is successful, it transmits imaging data captured by the camera 13 to the target room master unit 30 without performing a call operation on the target room master unit 30 associated with the compared room information (room number). Step S517 of the room master unit 30 is similar to step S120 in FIG. 3 of the first embodiment, and the process when the matching in step S513 fails (NO in step S513) is similar to the process when NO in step S116 in FIG.

[0098] As described above, the control system 1 according to the present embodiment includes the collective entrance device 10 installed at the entrance of the apartment house and equipped with the camera 13, a plurality of room master devices 30 associated with each of a plurality of rooms included in the apartment house, a door control device 81 that controls locking and unlocking of the door 80 installed at the entrance, a server device 60 that can communicate with a mobile terminal 70 associated with a service provider, and a control unit 20 that can communicate with the collective entrance device 10, the room master device 30, the door control device 81, and the server device. The collective entrance device 10 has a service input unit 112 for executing a predetermined service provided by the service provider. The server device 60 is configured to receive a request to unlock the door 80 from the mobile terminal 70 and transmit the unlock request to the control unit 20. When the control unit 20 receives an operation on the service input unit 112, it starts capturing images with the camera 13. In addition, when the control unit 20 receives input of room information on the mobile terminal 70, it compares the unlocking request with the room information, and if it determines that the comparison is successful, it is configured to send an unlocking instruction to the door control device 81 and transmit image data captured by the camera 13 to the target room master unit 30, without performing a call operation to the target room master unit associated with the input room information among the multiple room master units 30. According to this configuration, if the unlocking request received from the server device 60 is successfully matched with the room information input by the mobile terminal 70, the door 80 is unlocked, allowing the visitor to enter the apartment complex at the delivery destination, and delivery such as leaving the parcel at the door without calling the resident of the delivery destination can be made. This saves the delivery company the trouble of calling the resident, and shortens the delivery time by eliminating the waiting time for the response to the call. In addition, the image data that starts to be captured when the operation on the service input unit 112 is accepted is transmitted to the target room master unit 30 associated with the room information of the delivery destination, so that the resident receiving the delivery can check the image of the delivery company on the room master unit 30, ensuring security.

[0099] (First Modification of Third Embodiment) In the above embodiment, the case where the delivery item is delivered to one room information (room number) has been described, but the number of room information to which the delivery item is delivered is not limited to one. The present control system 1 can be configured to be capable of delivering to multiple room information. An example of a control system that delivers to multiple room information will be described below with reference to Figs. 1, 2, and 7.

[0100] In this variant, as in the first variant of the first embodiment, an example will be described in which a first delivery piece and a second delivery piece (two delivery pieces) are delivered to different rooms as deliveries to multiple rooms in the same apartment building.

[0101] In this modification, the server device 60 has a function of collecting information on the delivery received from the server of the delivery company and creating a data table 61a, similar to the configuration of the first embodiment. In the data table 61a, the company name of the delivery company that delivers the delivery, information that identifies the delivery (such as the tracking number of the delivery), information on the delivery destination of the delivery (the address of the delivery destination, and the name of the recipient at the delivery destination), and information on the delivery method are stored in association with each other. For example, in the data table 61a, information on the delivery destination of the first room of the apartment B and information on the company name of the delivery company are stored in association with each other, and information on the delivery destination of the second room of the apartment B and information on the company name of the delivery company are stored in association with each other.

[0102] In this modified example, the mobile terminal 70 is configured to display information about each piece on the screen of the mobile terminal 70, as in the second embodiment, and to store information about each piece in the mobile terminal 70 from when the piece is loaded to when the delivery of the piece is completed. In addition, the mobile terminal 70 of this embodiment is configured to, when a request to unlock the door 80 is input from the screen of the mobile terminal 70, refer to the information about the piece stored in the mobile terminal 70, acquire information about the piece associated with the door 80, and generate an unlock request signal including the acquired information about the piece and an unlock request. The information about the piece associated with the door 80 is, for example, information about a first piece whose delivery address includes the building name of the apartment building B that has the door 80, the company name of the delivery service that delivers the first piece, information about a second piece whose delivery address includes the building name of the apartment building B that has the door 80, and the company name of the delivery service that delivers the second piece. Other configurations of the control system 1 according to this modification are similar to those of the control system 1 of the first embodiment, so the same reference numerals are used in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 to indicate the configurations, and duplicated explanations will be omitted.

[0103] (Example 2) The processing from steps S501 to S507 in FIG. 7 of this modified example is similar to steps S501 to S507 in FIG. 7 of the above-described third embodiment, so duplicated explanations will be omitted.

[0104] In this modified example, when the delivery company operates the mobile terminal 70 to input a request to unlock the door 80, the mobile terminal 70 accepts the unlock request (step S508 in FIG. 7). The mobile terminal 70 that accepts the unlock request acquires information on the delivery piece associated with the door 80 by referring to the information on the delivery piece stored in the mobile terminal 70. Here, the mobile terminal 70 acquires, as the information on the delivery piece, information on the delivery address including a plurality of room numbers (room information) and information on the company name of the delivery company that delivers each delivery piece. Specifically, the mobile terminal 70 acquires, for the first room (room information) of the first delivery piece, information on the first room information (room number) and information on the company name of the delivery company that delivers the first delivery piece. In addition, for the second room (room information) of the second delivery piece, the mobile terminal 70 acquires, for the second room (room information) of the second delivery piece, information on the second room information (room number) and information on the company name of the delivery company that delivers the second delivery piece. The mobile terminal 70 generates an unlock request signal including the acquired information on the first piece and a request to unlock the door 80, and transmits the generated unlock request signal to the server device 60 (step S509). Next, the mobile terminal 70 generates an unlock request signal including the acquired information on the second piece and a request to unlock the door 80, and transmits the generated unlock request signal to the server device 60 (step S509). In this way, the mobile terminal 70 refers to the piece information stored in the mobile terminal 70 to acquire information on all pieces associated with the door 80, generates unlock request signals including information on each room, and transmits each unlock request signal to the server device 60 (step S509).

[0105] The server device 60 receives each unlock request signal from the mobile terminal 70 (step S510). In this example, the server device 60 receives an unlock request signal including the room information of the first room and an unlock request signal including the room information of the second room. The server device 60 generates an unlock request signal to which delivery information is added for each unlock request signal. In this example, the server device 60 generates an unlock request signal to which delivery information regarding the first delivery piece is added based on the room information of the first room and the data table 61a, and generates an unlock request signal to which delivery information regarding the second delivery piece is added based on the room information of the second room and the data table 61a. The server device 60 transmits each generated unlock request signal to the control unit 20 (step S511).

[0106] The control unit 20 receives each unlock request signal (step S512) and judges whether the matching in step S513 for each unlock request signal is successful. The control unit 20 receives the unlock request signal to which the delivery information for the first delivery is added (step S512) and compares the room information of the first room included in the unlock request signal with the room information of the first room included in the delivery information added by the server device 60. If the room information of the first room included in the unlock request signal matches the room information of the first room included in the delivery information, the control unit 20 judges that the matching is successful (YES in step S513) and transmits the image data to the room master unit 30 associated with the first room (step S516). The same processing as in each step of the first delivery is also performed for the second delivery delivered to the second room. If the result is NO in step S513, the processes in steps S514, S515, and S517 are the same as those in the third embodiment shown in FIG. 7, and therefore repeated explanations will be omitted.

[0107] According to the configuration of this modified example, image data captured by the camera 13 of the collective entrance unit 10 is transmitted to each target room master unit 30 associated with each piece of room information, allowing the visitor's image to be checked on each target room master unit 30, ensuring security and improving convenience for each resident.

[0108] In the above example, the room information is compared, but the information to be compared is not limited to the room information. The control system of the present disclosure can use various information that identifies each delivery as the information to be compared. For example, the control device 20 can use the tracking number assigned to each delivery by the delivery company as the information to be compared. When checking using the tracking number given to each delivery, the tracking number information may be stored in the mobile terminal 70, which may then generate an unlock request signal including the tracking number information and transmit it to the control unit 20 via the server device 60. Alternatively, the tracking number information may be stored in the data table 61a of the server device 60, which may then generate an unlock request signal with the tracking number information added thereto and transmit it to the control unit 20.

[0109] Also, in the third embodiment and the first modified example of the third embodiment, as in the second modified example of the first embodiment, entry information may be transmitted to the room master unit 30. Specifically, following step S503 in Fig. 7 in which the control unit 20 receives the input contents inputted at the service input unit 112, the control unit 20 may generate entry information in the same manner as in step S306 in Fig. 5. Also, in step S516 in Fig. 7 in which the control unit 20 transmits the imaging data to the room master unit 30, the control unit 20 may transmit the imaging data and the entry information to the room master unit 30 in the same manner as in step S312 shown in Fig. 5. According to this configuration, in addition to the imaging data, entry information is also transmitted to the target room master unit 30 associated with the delivery destination room information, so that the resident receiving the delivery can check the image of the delivery person and the delivery person's entry into the premises on the room master unit 30, thereby improving convenience for the resident.

[0110] (Fourth embodiment) In the control system according to the first embodiment, an example in which room information is input has been described above, but service information such as a tracking number may be input in addition to the room information. A control system in which service information is input in addition to the room information will be described below with reference to Figs. 1, 2 and 8. Fig. 8 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the operation of the control system according to the fourth embodiment.

[0111] The collective entrance device 10 of this embodiment, like the first embodiment, is configured to display, as an initial screen, a call operation section 111 (room call button), a service input section 112, and a service information input section 113. The service information input section 113 allows the input of service information (for example, a tracking number for a delivery).

[0112] The server device 60 has a function of collecting information on the delivery received from the server of the delivery company and creating a data table 61a, as in the first embodiment. As in the first embodiment, the data table 61a also stores information on the delivery received from the server managed by the delivery company. In addition, the data table 61a stores information on the service status received by the server device 60 from the server managed by the delivery company via the network N. The service status information is information on the delivery status, such as information that the delivery is "preparing to send" by the delivery company, information that the delivery has been loaded onto the delivery vehicle, information that the delivery is "in delivery" that the delivery vehicle is being moved by the delivery person, and information that the delivery has been completed by the designated delivery method such as leaving the delivery at the delivery location. The service status information is updated in real time in response to an operation on the mobile terminal 70 of the delivery company or in response to an operation on the information terminal at the reception desk of the delivery company. The updated service status information is transmitted to the server device 60 via the server managed by the delivery company and the network N. When the server device 60 receives an update to the service status information, it updates the service status information in the data table 61a in real time.

[0113] Other configurations of the control system 1 according to this modification are similar to those of the control system 1 of the first embodiment, so the same reference numerals are used in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 to indicate the configurations, and duplicated explanations will be omitted.

[0114] (Example 1) Steps S601 to S610 in Fig. 8 are the same as steps S101 to S110 in the first embodiment shown in Fig. 3. That is, like the first embodiment, the collective entrance device 10 accepts input contents such as the company name of the delivery company entered at the service input unit 112 (step S601), and accepts input of the room number (room information) entered at the call operation unit 111 (step S608). Following step S609 of transmitting the room information to the control unit 20, the delivery company operates the service information input unit 113 of the collective entrance unit 10 to input service information such as the tracking number of the delivery. The service information input unit 113 accepts the input service information (tracking number) (step S611). The collective entrance unit 10 transmits the service information input from the service information input unit 113 to the control unit 20 (step S612).

[0115] The control unit 20 receives the service information (step S613), identifies the target room master unit 30 associated with the room information received in step S610 based on the room information and the call table 22a, and transmits the imaging data received in step S607 to the identified target room master unit 30 (step S614). In this way, when the service information input unit 113 accepts input of service information, the imaging data is transmitted from the control unit 20 to the target room master unit 30 without executing a call operation to the target room master unit associated with the room information (room number) accepted by the call operation unit 111 in step S608. The target room master unit 30 receives the imaging data (step S615), and displays the imaging data on the display unit 31.

[0116] Returning to step S613, the control device 20 transmits the received service information to the server device 60 (step S616). The server device 60 receives the service information from the control device 20 (step S617) and compares the received service information with the service status (step S618). Specifically, the server device 60 identifies, based on the received service information (tracking number), information on the service status of the delivery piece associated with the service information from the data table 61a. The server device 60 compares whether the service status of the delivery piece identified based on the service information received from the control device 20 is "in delivery" (step S618). If the service status of the delivery identified based on the service information received from the control unit 20 is "delivery in progress", the server device 60 determines that the match has been successful (YES in step S618) and generates an unlock request signal. The unlock request signal is a signal requesting unlocking of the door 80. This door 80 is the door identified based on the matched service information and the delivery address stored in the data table 61a. The server device 60 transmits the generated unlock request signal to the control unit 20 (step S619). The control unit 20 receives the unlock request signal (step S620) and transmits the unlock request signal to the door control device 81 (step S621). Upon receiving the unlock request signal, the door control device 81 unlocks the door 80 (step S622).

[0117] On the other hand, in step S618, if the service status of the delivery specified based on the service information received from the control unit 20 is a status other than "delivery in progress", such as "delivery completed", the server device 60 determines that the matching has failed (NO in step S618), returns to the processing of step S618, and matches the newly received service information with the service status. In this way, the server device 60 repeats the processing of step S618 in which the matching is performed with the service status for each piece of service information received from the control unit 20.

[0118] As described above, the control system 1 according to the present embodiment includes the collective entrance device 10 installed at the entrance of the apartment house and equipped with the camera 13, a plurality of room master devices 30 associated with each of the plurality of rooms included in the apartment house, a door control device 81 that controls locking and unlocking of the door 80 installed at the entrance, a server device 60 capable of communicating with a mobile terminal 70 associated with a service provider, and a control unit 20 capable of communicating with the collective entrance device 10, the room master device 30, the door control device 81, and the server device 60. The collective entrance device 10 has a service input unit 112 for executing a predetermined service provided by the service provider, a call operation unit 111 (room information input unit) capable of inputting room information associated with each of the plurality of rooms, and a service information input unit 113 capable of inputting service information linked to the service. The server device 60 is configured to compare service information such as a tracking number input to the service information input unit 113 with the service status such as "delivery in progress" and transmit a request to unlock the door 80 to the control unit 20 if the comparison is successful. The control unit 20 starts capturing images by the camera 13 when it accepts an operation on the service input unit 112. When the control unit 20 accepts input of room information on the call operation unit 111 (room information input unit) and input of service information such as a tracking number on the service information input unit 113, it transmits image data captured by the camera 13 to the target room master unit 30 associated with the input room information among the multiple room master units 30, and transmits service information to the server device 60, without executing a call operation on the target room master unit 30 associated with the input room information. The control unit 20 is also configured to transmit an unlock instruction to the door control device 81 when it receives an unlock request from the server device 60. According to this configuration, the door 80 is unlocked when the control unit 20 receives an unlocking request from the server device 60, so that the visitor can enter the apartment complex at the delivery destination, and delivery such as a drop-off delivery can be made without calling the resident of the delivery destination. Therefore, the delivery company can save the trouble of calling the resident, and the waiting time for the response to the call can be omitted, and the delivery time can be shortened. In addition, the image data that starts to be captured when an operation on the service input unit 112 is accepted is transmitted to the target room master unit 30 associated with the room information that is the delivery destination when the input of the room information and the input of the service information such as the tracking number are accepted, so that the resident who receives the drop-off delivery can check the image of the delivery company on the room master unit 30, and security can be ensured. In addition, the server device 60 is configured to compare the service information inputted to the service information input unit 113 with the service status, and transmit an unlocking request to the control unit 20 if the comparison is successful, so that impersonation and erroneous delivery can be prevented.

[0119] In this embodiment, multiple pieces of room information can be input, as in the first modification of the first embodiment. When multiple pieces of room information are input, the collective entrance device 10 executes the steps from step S608 of receiving input of room information to step S612 of transmitting service information associated with the room information to the control device 20 for each piece of room information in FIG. 8. In this case, the collective entrance device 10 associates the room information received in step S608 with the service information received in step S611 for the room information, and transmits them to the control device 20. The control device 20 also executes the steps from step S610 of receiving each piece of room information to step S616 of transmitting the service information associated with each piece of room information for each piece of room information. In step S618 in the server device 60, the service information associated with the room information, such as a tracking number, is compared with the service status, such as "delivery in progress", for each piece of room information. Steps S601 to S607 and steps S619 to S622 for inputting multiple room information are similar to those in the fourth embodiment described above, so that redundant explanations will be omitted. According to this configuration, imaging data is transmitted to each target room master unit 30 associated with each of the multiple room information, allowing each target room master unit 30 to check the image of the visitor, ensuring security and improving convenience for each resident.

[0120] Also in this example, as in the second modified example of the first embodiment, the entry information may be transmitted to the room master unit. Specifically, the control unit 20 may generate the entry information in the same manner as in step S306 of Fig. 5 following step S603 of Fig. 8 in which the input contents inputted in the service input unit 112 are received, or may generate the entry information in the same manner as in step S306 of Fig. 5 following step S613 in which the service information is received. Also, in step S614 in Fig. 8 in which the control unit 20 transmits the imaging data to the room master unit 30, the control unit 20 may transmit the imaging data and the entry information to the room master unit 30 in the same manner as in step S312 shown in Fig. 5. According to this configuration, in addition to the imaging data, entry information is also transmitted to the target room master unit 30 associated with the delivery destination room information, so that the resident receiving the delivery can check the image of the delivery person and the delivery person's entry into the premises on the room master unit 30, thereby improving convenience for the resident.

[0121] Fifth embodiment In the above-mentioned fourth embodiment, an example was described in which various information is input from the call operation unit (room information input unit) 111, the service input unit 112, and the service information input unit 113, respectively, but the control system according to the present disclosure is not limited to the above example. The control system according to the present disclosure may also be a control system in which service information is input from the collective entrance unit 10. Hereinafter, the control system in which service information is input from the collective entrance unit 10 will be described with reference to Figs. 1, 2, and 9. Fig. 9 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the operation of the control system according to the fourth embodiment.

[0122] In this embodiment, the server device 60 has a function of collecting information on each delivery received from a server managed by the delivery company and creating a data table 61a, as in the first embodiment. In addition, in the data table 61a, the service status is stored as information on the delivery, as in the fourth embodiment. The service status is, for example, information that the delivery is "in delivery". When the service status information stored in the server managed by the delivery company is updated, the updated service status information is transmitted to the server device 60 via the network N, and the service status information stored in the data table 61a is updated.

[0123] Other configurations of the control system 1 according to this embodiment are similar to those of the control system 1 according to the first embodiment, so the same reference numerals are used in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 to indicate the configurations, and duplicated explanations will be omitted.

[0124] (Example 1) In this embodiment as well, the delivery company visits the apartment complex as the delivery destination with the package and inputs the name of the company to which the delivery company belongs, etc., from the service input unit 112 displayed on the collective entrance machine 10. The collective entrance machine 10 accepts the input contents entered from the service input unit 112, generates delivery service information including the information of the delivery company entered from the service input unit 112, and transmits the delivery service information to the control machine 20. The control machine 20 receives the delivery service information. Note that FIG. 9 omits illustration of the step of accepting the input contents entered from the service input unit by the collective entrance machine 10, the step of transmitting the delivery service information, and the step of the control machine 20 receiving the delivery service information.

[0125] Next, the delivery company inputs the service information of the delivery to the service information input unit 113 of the collective entrance machine 10. In this example, the tracking number of the delivery is input as the service information. The collective entrance machine 10 accepts an operation on the service information input unit 113 (step S701 in FIG. 9). The collective entrance machine 10 transmits the service information input to the service information input unit 113 to the control machine 20 (step S702). The control machine 20 receives the service information (step S703), generates an imaging start signal that causes the collective entrance machine 10 to start imaging with the camera 13, and transmits the generated imaging start signal to the collective entrance machine 10 (step S704). The collective entrance machine 10 that has received the imaging start signal starts imaging with the camera 13 (step S705), and transmits the imaging data captured by the camera 13 to the control machine 20 (step S706). The control machine 20 receives the imaging data from the collective entrance machine 10 (step S707).

[0126] Furthermore, when the control device 20 receives the service information inputted to the service information input unit 113, the control device 20 transmits the service information to the server device 60 (step S708). The server device 60 receives the service information (step S709), and identifies the service status of the piece associated with the received service information based on the received service information and the data table 61a. In this example, the server device 60 identifies information on the service status of the piece, such as "preparing to ship", "shipped", "in delivery", and "delivery completed", as the service status. The server device 60 compares the service information received from the control device 20 with the service status of the piece associated with the service (step S710). If the service status of the piece associated with the service information received from the control device 20 is "in delivery", the server device 60 determines that the comparison is successful (YES in step S710), and based on the data table 61a, identifies information on the door 80 of the apartment house included in the delivery address of the service information received from the control device 20, and generates an unlock request signal to unlock the door 80. This unlock request signal includes information on the door 80 to be unlocked and information on the delivery address of the piece that includes the apartment house with this door as a delivery destination. The server device 60 transmits the generated unlock request signal to the control device 20 (step S711). The control device 20 receives the unlock request signal (step S712), generates an unlock instruction signal to unlock the door 80, and transmits the generated unlock instruction signal to the door control device 81 (step S713). The door control device 81 receives the unlock instruction signal (step S714), and unlocks the door 80.

[0127] Returning to step S712, the control unit 20 that has received the unlocking request signal identifies the room information (room number) to which the imaging data is to be sent based on the delivery address information included in the unlocking request signal, and identifies the room master unit 30 associated with this room information based on the call table 22a. The control unit 20 transmits the imaging data to the identified room master unit 30 (step S715). In this way, when the control unit 20 accepts the input operation of service information in the service information input unit 113, it transmits the imaging data to the target room master unit 30 without executing a call operation to the target room master unit 30 associated with the input service information out of the multiple room master units 30. The room master unit 30 receives the imaging data (step S716) and displays it on the display unit 31. Returning to step S710, if the service status of the delivery item associated with the service information received from the control unit 20 is not "in delivery", the server device 60 determines that the matching has failed (NO in step S710) and waits until new service information is received.

[0128] As described above, the control system 1 according to the present embodiment includes the collective entrance device 10 installed at the entrance of the apartment house and equipped with the camera 13, a plurality of room master devices 30 associated with each of a plurality of rooms included in the apartment house, a door control device 81 that controls locking and unlocking of the door 80 installed at the entrance, a server device 60 capable of communicating with a mobile terminal 70 associated with a service provider, and a control unit 20 capable of communicating with the collective entrance device 10, the room master device 30, the door control device 81, and the server device 60. The collective entrance device 10 has a service input unit 112 for executing a predetermined service provided by the service provider, and a service information input unit 113 that can input service information linked to the service. The server device 60 is configured to compare service information such as a tracking number input to the service information input unit 113 with the service status such as "delivery in progress" and transmit a request to unlock the door 80 to the control unit 20 if the comparison is successful. When the control unit 20 receives an input operation of service information in the service information input unit 113, it starts capturing images by the camera 13 and transmits the service information to the server device 60. Furthermore, when the control unit 20 receives an unlocking request from the server device 60 when it receives an input operation of service information in the service information input unit 113, it transmits an instruction to unlock the door 80 to the door control device 81. Furthermore, when the control unit 20 receives an input operation of service information in the service information input unit 113, it is configured to transmit image data captured by the camera 13 to the target room master unit 30 without executing a call operation to the target room master unit 30 associated with the input service information among the multiple room master units. According to this configuration, the delivery company can unlock the door 80 simply by inputting the service information to the service information input unit 113 in the collective entrance unit 10, so that the visitor can enter the collective residence of the delivery destination, and the delivery such as leaving the parcel at the door can be made without calling the resident, thereby shortening the delivery time. In addition, the image data is transmitted to the target room master unit 30 associated with the resident's room information of the delivery destination, so that the resident can check the image of the delivery company on the target room master unit 30, ensuring security. In addition, the server device 60 is configured to compare the service information input to the service information input unit 113 with the service status, and transmit an unlocking request to the control unit 20 if the comparison is successful, so that impersonation and erroneous delivery can be prevented.

[0129] In the above-described fifth embodiment, an example has been described in which one piece of service information (tracking number) is input to the service information input unit 113, but it is also possible to configure in such a manner that a plurality of pieces of service information are input to the service information input unit 113. An example of the operation in this case will be described with reference to FIG.

[0130] 9, when the delivery company inputs multiple pieces of service information to the service information input unit 113, the collective entrance device 10 accepts each input operation to the service information input unit 113 (step S701). The collective entrance device 10 transmits the multiple pieces of service information to the control device 20 (step S702). The multiple pieces of service information may be transmitted to the control device 20 individually or collectively. The control unit 20 may generate an imaging start signal and transmit the imaging start signal to the collective entrance unit 10 (step S704) when the first of the multiple pieces of service information is received. Steps S703, and S705 to S707 are similar to steps S703, and S705 to S707 in FIG. 9 in the fifth embodiment described above, and therefore overlapping descriptions will be omitted.

[0131] The control device 20 transmits the plurality of pieces of service information to the server device 60 (step S708). The plurality of pieces of service information may be transmitted to the server device 60 individually or collectively. The server device 60 receives a plurality of pieces of service information (step S709), identifies the service status of the piece associated with each piece of service information received, and compares each piece of service information with the service status of the piece associated with the service (step S710). If the service status of the piece associated with each piece of service information is "in delivery", the server device 60 determines that the comparison is successful (YES in step S710), identifies the door 80 of the apartment house included in the delivery address of the service information for which the comparison was successful, and generates an unlocking signal to unlock the door 80. If there are multiple successful comparisons between the service information and the service status, the server device 60 generates an unlocking signal to unlock the door 80 of the apartment house identified based on the service information for which the comparison was successful first. The server device 60 transmits the generated unlocking instruction signal to the control device 20 (step S711). The control unit 20 receives the unlock request signal (step S712), generates an unlock instruction signal to instruct unlocking of the door 80 based on the information identifying the door 80 included in the unlock request signal and the call table 22a, and transmits this unlock instruction signal to the door control device 81 (step S713). In addition, the control unit 20 identifies each of the target room master units 30 associated with each piece of service information based on the delivery address information and the plurality of pieces of service information included in the unlock request signal, and transmits imaging data to each of the identified target room master units 30 (step S715). If the comparison fails in step S710 (NO in S710), steps S714 and S716 are similar to the processing in the case of NO in S710 in FIG. 9 in the fifth embodiment described above, and steps S714 and S716, so duplicated explanations will be omitted.

[0132] According to this configuration, image data captured by the camera 13 of the collective entrance unit 10 is transmitted to each target room master unit 30 associated with each piece of room information, allowing the visitor's image to be checked on each target room master unit 30, ensuring security and improving convenience for each resident.

[0133] Also in this embodiment, similarly to the second modification of the first embodiment, entrance information may be transmitted together with the imaging data. Specifically, following step S703 in Fig. 9 in which the control unit 20 receives the service information, the control unit 20 may generate entry information in the same manner as in step S306 in Fig. 5. Furthermore, in step S715 in Fig. 9 in which the control unit 20 transmits imaging data to the target room master unit 30, the control unit 20 may transmit the imaging data and the entry information to the target room master unit 30 in the same manner as in step S312 shown in Fig. 5. According to this configuration, in addition to the imaging data, entry information is also transmitted to the target room parent unit 30 associated with the delivery destination room information, so that the resident receiving the delivery can check the video of the delivery person and the delivery person's entry into the premises on the target room parent unit 30, thereby improving convenience for the resident.

[0134] Sixth embodiment In the fifth embodiment described above, the imaging data is transmitted to the target room master unit 30, but the configuration of the control system of the present disclosure is not limited to the above example. The control system of the present disclosure may be configured to transmit imaging data to the management room master unit 50. An example of transmitting imaging data to the management room master unit 50 will be described below with reference to Figs. 1, 2, and 9.

[0135] The server device 60 of this embodiment has a function of collecting information on each delivery received from a server managed by the delivery company and creating a data table 61a, similar to the server device 60 of the first embodiment. In addition, in the data table 61a, as information on the delivery, the service status such as the delivery being "delivered" is stored. In addition, in the data table 61a, information on the delivery address of the delivery is stored as information on the delivery. When the information stored in the server managed by the delivery company is updated, the updated information is transmitted to the server device 60 via the network N, and the information stored in the data table 61a is updated. Other configurations of the control system 1 according to this embodiment are similar to those of the control system 1 according to the first embodiment, so the same reference numerals are used in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 to indicate the configurations, and duplicated explanations will be omitted.

[0136] (Example 1) In FIG. 9, steps S701 to S711, S713, and S714 are similar to steps S701 to S711, S713, and S714 in FIG. 9 of the fifth embodiment described above, and therefore overlapping descriptions will be omitted.

[0137] 9, when the control unit 20 receives the unlock request signal, the control unit 20 identifies information about the building, such as an apartment building, included in the delivery address based on the delivery address information included in the unlock request signal, and identifies the management room master unit 50 of the management room associated with the delivery address based on the identified building information and the call table 22a. The control unit 20 transmits imaging data to the identified management room master unit 50 (step S715). The management room master unit 50 receives the imaging data (step S716) and displays an image based on the imaging data on the display unit 51.

[0138] As described above, the control system 1 according to the present embodiment includes the collective entrance device 10 installed at the entrance of the collective housing complex and equipped with the camera 13, the management room master device 50 installed in the management room in the collective housing complex, the door control device 81 that controls the locking and unlocking of the door 80 installed at the entrance, the server device 60 that can communicate with the mobile terminal 70 associated with the service provider, and the control unit 20 that can communicate with the collective entrance device 10, the management room master device 50, the door control device 81, and the server device 60. The collective entrance device 10 has a service input unit 112 for executing a predetermined service provided by the service provider, and a service information input unit 113 that can input service information linked to the service. The server device 60 is configured to match the service information, such as a tracking number, input into the service information input unit 113 with the service status, such as "in delivery", and transmit a request to unlock the door 80 to the control unit 20 if the match is successful. The control unit 20 starts capturing images with the camera 13 when it receives an input operation of the service information in the service information input unit 113. Furthermore, the control unit 20 transmits service information to the server device 60 when it accepts an input operation of service information in the service information input unit 113. Furthermore, if the control unit 20 receives an unlock request from the server device 60 when it accepts an input operation of service information in the service information input unit 113, it transmits an instruction to unlock the door 80 to the door control device 81. Furthermore, the control unit 20 is configured to transmit image data captured by the camera 13 to the management room master unit 50 when it receives an unlock request from the server device 60 when it accepts an input operation of service information in the service information input unit 113. According to this configuration, the visitor, the delivery company, can unlock the door 80 if the service information is successfully matched with the service status, and the delivery company can make a delivery such as a drop-off without calling the resident of the delivery destination, thereby shortening the delivery time. In addition, since the door 80 is unlocked if the service information is successfully matched with the service status, the door 80 is not unlocked in the case of a wrong delivery, and security can be ensured. In addition, since the image data is transmitted to the management room master unit 50, the image of the delivery company can be confirmed on the management room master unit 50, and security can be ensured. In addition, the server device 60 is configured to match the service information inputted to the service information input unit 113 with the service status, and to transmit an unlocking request to the control unit 20 if the match is successful, so that impersonation and wrong delivery can be prevented.

[0139] The management room master unit 50 may store the received imaging data in the memory unit 55. The display unit 51 of the management room master unit 50 may display the imaging data in real time when it is received, or may display the imaging data when the manager operates the operation unit 52 to input the display to the display unit 51.

[0140] (First Modification of Sixth Embodiment) In this embodiment, similarly to the fifth embodiment, a configuration in which multiple pieces of service information are input can be used. In this case, the configuration of the control system 1 and details of each step are the same as those in the fifth embodiment in which multiple pieces of service information are input to the service information input unit 113, and therefore overlapping explanations will be omitted. According to this configuration, the image data captured by the camera 13 of the collective entrance unit 10 is transmitted to the management room master unit 50, so that the image of each visitor can be checked on the management room master unit 50 in the management room, ensuring security and improving convenience for each resident.

[0141] Also, in the sixth embodiment and the first modified example of the sixth embodiment, the entrance information may be transmitted to the room master unit, similar to the second modified example of the first embodiment. Specifically, the control unit 20 may generate the entrance information in the same manner as in step S306 of Fig. 5, following step S703 of Fig. 9 in which the control unit 20 receives the service information inputted in the service information input unit 113. Also, in step S715 in Fig. 9 in which the control unit 20 transmits the imaging data to the management room master unit 50, the control unit 20 may transmit the imaging data and the entrance information to the management room master unit 50, similar to step S312 shown in Fig. 5. According to this configuration, in addition to the imaging data, the entry information is transmitted to the management room parent unit 50, so that the manager in the management room can check the image of the delivery person and the delivery person's entry into the premises on the management room parent unit 50, thereby ensuring security.
