Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a management system for businesses that enter facilities equipped with security systems, such as apartment complexes, and perform services such as delivery and cleaning. [Background technology]
[0002] Recently, the practice of dropping off parcels in front of a house rather than handing them over to the resident (orderer) is becoming more common.
[0003] However, in order to make deliveries to facilities such as apartment complexes that have security systems, the delivery company must enter the facility even when the residents are not there. Therefore, the delivery company must be given permission to enter the facility. If the permission is relaxed, security problems may arise, while if the permission is strict, problems may occur in which delivery cannot be made efficiently. Moreover, in recent years, there have been cases of contractors entering apartment complexes becoming lost within the large building and wandering around, staying there for long periods of time and causing anxiety to residents.
[0004] Similar problems apply not only to delivery to designated locations, but also to other work carried out within facilities such as apartment complexes, such as cleaning and maintenance inspections. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0005] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6714283 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0006] The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a contractor management system that allows contractors to smoothly carry out their work within a facility while ensuring the security of the facility.
[0007] In this case, the term "contractor" includes corporations and individuals who receive work requests from clients, as well as clients (corporations or individuals) who receive commissions from those corporations or individuals. [Means for solving the problem]
[0008] The present invention has the following configuration.
[0009] [1] It is to manage contractors who have received requests from clients to carry out work in facilities equipped with security systems, such as apartment complexes. a door sensor device having a human detection sensor for detecting a human entering a predetermined area of a door of the facility and a door control unit for controlling the locking / unlocking or opening / closing of the door; a task attribute information acquisition unit that acquires task attribute information indicating attributes related to a task of the person detected by the human detection sensor; an orderer authentication information acquisition unit that acquires orderer authentication information indicating business authentication of a contractor from an orderer; a determination unit that determines whether a person detected by the human detection sensor is the certified trader by comparing the business attribute information with the purchaser authentication information; The door control unit of this contractor management system unlocks or opens the door when the person detected by the human detection sensor is determined by the judgment unit to be the authenticated contractor.
[0010] [2] The business attribute acquisition unit communicates with a mobile device carried by a person to acquire the person's business attribute information.
[0011] With this configuration, the business attribute information acquisition unit can acquire the business attribute information of a person detected by the human detection sensor, i.e., a person within the specified area of the door, through local communication with the mobile device, so that a robust system can be established that can reliably acquire information even in places with poor communication environments and is less susceptible to information leaks, compared to communication via the Internet. In addition, the type and format of attributes required for authentication can be easily changed using an app on the mobile device, allowing for flexible operation.
[0012] [3] The vendor management system according to [1] or [2], which is configured to enable different authentication to be set for each business.
[0013] With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the reuse of authentication for multiple tasks, thereby improving security. For example, a specific example would be allowing the purchaser to issue a one-time passcode as authentication.
[0014] [4] A contractor management system as described in any one of [1] to [3], further comprising a stay recording unit that uses the detection signal of the human detection sensor to acquire and record the time an authenticated contractor stays in the facility from the time he or she enters until the time he or she leaves the facility.
[0015] With this configuration, by recording (logging) the time the vendor stays, not only can the vendor's business be accurately evaluated, but it can also contribute to preventing the vendor from committing crimes.
[0016] [5] Secondary human detection sensors are installed at multiple locations within the facility. The contractor management system described in [4], wherein the stay recording unit identifies and records the contractor's movement route within the facility based on the detection signals from each of the second person detection sensors.
[0017] With this configuration, by recording (logging) the routes taken by contractors within the facility, it is possible not only to accurately evaluate the contractors' work, but also to contribute to preventing contractors from committing crimes.
[0018] [6] The contractor management system according to [4] or [5], further comprising a stay information transmission unit that transmits the contractor's stay information recorded by the stay recording unit to the client.
[0019] With this configuration, facility residents, managers, and other clients can learn information about the contractor's stay within the facility, such as the length of time the contractor stayed within the facility and the route he or she took, thereby providing the client with a sense of security and trust.
[0020] [7] A contractor management system as described in any of [1] to [6], further comprising a business execution information sending unit that, if the person is a certified contractor, sends business execution information to the contractor, which is information for carrying out business at the facility.
[0021] With this configuration, for example, by indicating the location within the facility where the parcel will be left or delivered as business execution information, the business can make deliveries without getting lost even if it is a facility that the business is visiting for the first time, thereby helping the business to carry out its business smoothly.
[0022] [8] A contractor management system according to any one of [1] to [7], wherein the business attribute information acquisition unit and the judgment unit are attached to the door sensor device.
[0023] With this configuration, authentication of a contractor when entering a facility can be performed by local communication without going through a server device or the like, thereby improving the certainty and reliability of operation. Effect of the Invention
[0024] According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. Once authenticated by the client, contractors who have received a work request from that client can enter the facility, ensuring security.
[0025] Just before a contractor enters the facility, that is, when the human detection sensor detects the contractor, it is determined whether the contractor is an authenticated person and the door is unlocked or opened (hereinafter also referred to as the unlocked state), thereby minimizing the time the door is unlocked and ensuring security in this respect as well.
[0026] When contractors enter the facility, they can enter without any hindrance and carry out their work smoothly. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0028] An embodiment of a business management system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0029] [First embodiment] 1. System Overview This business management system is designed to manage businesses that enter collective housing where multiple families or individuals reside, such as an apartment building, and perform delivery services. In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the system is configured using a door sensor device 100 installed near the entrance door (in this case, an automatic door) D of the collective housing.
[0030] In FIG. 2, symbol N indicates a communication network such as the Internet, symbol 200 indicates a terminal device on the orderer's side such as a personal computer or mobile device used by a resident of the apartment complex, i.e., the orderer who orders the product to be left at the door, symbol 300 indicates a server device on the orderer's side used by the product orderer such as an online shop or the company that performs the left-to-door delivery, and symbol 400 indicates a mobile terminal used by the delivery person (hereinafter also referred to as the business executor) who actually performs the left-to-door delivery.
[0031] 2. System Configuration 2-1. Door sensor device 100 As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the door sensor device 100 detects a person entering a detection area AR set near the outside of a doorway area and controls the opening and closing of the door D, and is equipped with a housing 1, and a human detection sensor 2 and an information processing device 3 housed within the housing 1.
[0032] 2-1-1.Case 1 The housing 1 has an opening at the bottom for a human detection sensor, and is attached, for example, to a blind.
[0033] 2-1-2. Human detection sensor 2 The human detection sensor 2 detects whether or not a human has entered the detection area AR and outputs a detection signal indicating that fact, as shown in Fig. 3 etc. As this human detection sensor, specifically, various types of sensors can be used, such as a passive infrared sensor, an active infrared sensor, a radar sensor using microwaves or millimeter waves, or a camera sensor using an image sensor.
[0034] 2-1-3. Information processing device 3 The information processing device 3 is a so-called computer equipped with a CPU, memory, an I / O interface, a communication interface, etc., and is configured to be able to communicate with external devices via the communication network N, Bluetooth, etc., as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
[0035] The information processing device 3 also functions as a door control unit by the CPU and peripheral devices working together according to a predetermined program stored in the memory. The door control unit outputs an opening / closing command signal to the opening / closing drive device D1 of the automatic door D based on the detection signal output from the human detection sensor.
[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the information processing device 3 is configured to function as a business attribute information acquisition unit that acquires business attribute information, which is attribute information related to the business of the person detected by the human detection sensor 2, a purchaser authentication information acquisition unit that acquires purchaser authentication information indicating that the person detected by the human detection sensor 2 is a contractor authenticated by the purchaser, and a judgment unit that judges whether the person detected by the human detection sensor 2 is the certified contractor by comparing the business attribute information with the purchaser authentication information. The configuration of each of these parts will be described in detail below.
[0037] 2-2. Business attribute information acquisition department Specifically, the task attribute information acquisition unit communicates with a mobile terminal carried by a person detected by the human detection sensor 2, and acquires task attribute information pre-recorded in the mobile terminal.
[0038] The mobile terminal and the information processing device perform one-to-one local communication using, for example, Bluetooth.
[0039] In addition, the method of acquiring business attribute information is not limited to one-to-one local communication as described above. For example, when a mobile terminal is accessed by a business attribute information acquisition unit and business attribute information is requested, the mobile terminal may communicate with a server device to download the business attribute information.
[0040] The business attribute information referred to here is information that can identify the business content to a certain extent, and in this case, as shown in the example of Figure 4, includes business entity information that indicates the entity of the business, such as who will leave and deliver the parcel, i.e., the name of the business operator and personal identification information, and business target information that indicates the target of the business, such as what will be left and delivered, when and where, i.e., the ordered item, delivery time, and delivery location.
[0041] The business entity information includes, for example, business operator information consisting of a business operator identifier represented by a code for identifying the business operator and the business operator's name, address, etc. linked thereto, and business operator information consisting of a business operator identifier represented by a code for identifying the person who actually performs the delivery service (hereinafter referred to as the business operator) and the business operator's name, contact information, etc. linked thereto.
[0042] The business target information includes order information consisting of an order identifier represented by a code for identifying the ordered item to be left at rest, and the item name and manufacturer linked to it, as well as order condition information consisting of a desired date and time of delivery, a delivery address, etc.
[0043] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the task attribute information also includes information on the client who ordered the task. This client information includes a client identifier, which is represented by a code for identifying the client, and associated information such as the client's name, address, and contact information.
[0044] 2-3. Purchaser authentication information acquisition section Specifically, the purchaser authentication information acquisition unit communicates with a purchaser server device used by a purchaser such as an online shop or the vendor performing delivery, for example, via an Internet line, and acquires purchaser authentication information indicating that the vendor is authenticated by the purchaser. Note that the method of acquiring purchaser authentication information is not limited to the above example, and the information may be acquired, for example, by communicating with a purchaser terminal device used by the purchaser to place an order.
[0045] The above-mentioned orderer authentication information is, in short, information to prove that the person carrying out the work requested by the orderer is the person designated by the orderer when placing the order for the delivery work, or is information indicating that the person is a contractor designated in advance, either explicitly or implicitly, by the recipient.
[0046] This orderer authentication information needs to be comparable to at least a part of the business attribute information, and in this case, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, includes a vendor identifier that is common to the vendor identifier included in the business attribute information. In addition, the purchaser authentication information may be an order item identifier, or may include both an order item identifier and a vendor identifier to increase accuracy, or may be combined with other business attribute information.
[0047] 2-4. Judgment department The judgment unit compares the business attribute information acquired by the business attribute information acquisition unit from the person detected by the human detection sensor 2 with the purchaser authentication information acquired in advance by the purchaser authentication acquisition unit, and judges whether the person detected by the human detection sensor 2 is a contractor authenticated by the purchaser.
[0048] As described above, the judgment unit here compares the contractor identifier indicated in the client authentication information with the contractor identifier indicated in the business attribute information, and if they match, it determines that the person detected by the human detection sensor 2 is a contractor authenticated by the client, and if they do not, it determines that the person is not a contractor authenticated by the client.
[0049] 2-5.Door control unit As described above, the door control unit outputs a door opening / closing command signal based on the detection signal output from the human detection sensor 2, but here, the door opening / closing command signal is output using not only the detection signal but also the judgment result of the judgment unit as a parameter. That is, when a person is detected by the human detection sensor and the judgment unit judges that the detected person is the certified contractor, the door control unit transmits an opening / closing command signal to a door opening / closing drive device (not shown) to open the door.
[0050] 3.Operation 3-1. Operation upon receiving an order As shown in FIG. 5, when the contractor's server device 300 receives an order for product delivery from the contractor's terminal device 200 (step S1), the contractor's server device 300 extracts or generates the customer authentication information and business attribute information based on the customer, ordered item, delivery destination, designated delivery company, etc., indicated in the order data (step S2).
[0051] Next, the order-receiver side server device 300 identifies the door sensor device 100 installed in the destination apartment building (step S3), and transmits the orderer authentication information thereto (step S4).
[0052] This orderer authentication information is received by the orderer authentication acquisition unit of the door sensor device 100 and stored in a predetermined area of the memory.
[0053] 3-2. Operation during delivery As shown in Fig. 6, when a person who performs the work (delivery person) of the ordered item is determined (step S11), before the delivery of the ordered item, for example, before the person who performs the work departs from the delivery center in a truck loaded with the goods, the contractor side server device 300 transmits the work attribute information to the mobile terminal 400 used by the person who performs the work (step S12). The mobile terminal 400 receives the work attribute information and stores it in a specified area of the memory. Note that the timing of transmitting the work attribute information is not limited to this.
[0054] Next, when the work performer arrives at the entrance of the designated apartment building and enters the predetermined area AR, the human detection sensor 2 detects this and transmits a detection signal to that effect.
[0055] In a state where the task attribute information acquisition unit receives this detection signal (step S13), the task attribute information acquisition unit attempts local communication with the mobile terminal 400 of the task performer (step S14).
[0056] When local communication is established, the business attribute information acquisition unit acquires business attribute information pre-stored in the mobile terminal 400 (step S15). At this time, business attribute information of other apartment complexes may also be stored in the mobile terminal 400, and the business attribute information acquisition unit identifies and acquires the target business attribute information by identification information such as the address of the apartment complex included in each piece of business attribute information.
[0057] Next, the judgment unit searches for one or more pieces of purchaser authentication information previously acquired by the purchaser authentication information acquisition unit, and determines whether there is any purchaser authentication information having a vendor identifier that matches the vendor identifier included in the business attribute information, i.e., whether the vendor is one who has been authenticated by the purchaser (steps S16, S17). If it is determined that the contractor is an authorized contractor of the orderer, the door control unit transmits an opening / closing command signal to the opening / closing drive device D1 (step S18) to open the door D.
[0058] 3-3. Operation when delivery is completed When door D is opened, the person who performs the delivery service enters the apartment building, goes to the delivery location set up in advance, and places the ordered item. When the delivery service is completed in this manner, the person who performs the service exits through door D.
[0059] At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, just as when a service performer enters, the service attribute information acquisition unit acquires the service attribute information of the person detected by the human detection sensor 2, and based on that, the judgment unit judges whether the person is a service performer who has entered the apartment complex to make a delivery (steps S21 to S25).
[0060] If the determination unit determines that the person is the person who carried out the work, it determines that the corresponding delivery work has been completed, and transmits the time and the identifier of the person who carried out the work to the order recipient terminal device and / or the orderer terminal device while linking the identifier of the ordered item, etc., and invalidates the orderer authentication information related to the work (step S26). This allows the orderer or the order recipient to know that the delivery work has been completed.
[0061] [Second embodiment] One-time passcode In this embodiment, a different authentication can be set for each business.
[0062] That is, when placing an order for a product, the orderer inputs a one-time passcode (orderer authentication information) that he or she has appropriately set as one piece of order data.
[0063] As described above, when the contractor's server device 300 accepts order data from the client's terminal device 200, it links the one-time passcode indicated in the order data to, for example, an order item identifier or a vendor identifier, and transmits this as client authentication information to the door sensor device 100. At the same time, it links the one-time passcode to business object information, such as an order item identifier, to generate business attribute information, and transmits this to the contractor's server device 300.
[0064] When the parcel is left at the door for delivery, the door sensor device 100 and the mobile terminal 400 of the person who carries out the service check the orderer authentication information including the one-time passcode, and the door D opens only if they match.
[0065] This allows the client to set a different authentication method (one-time passcode) for each job, further improving security.
[0066] [Third embodiment] Measurement of business visit time In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the business management system further includes a stay recording unit that uses the detection signal of the human detection sensor 2 to acquire and record the stay time of an authenticated contractor from entering to leaving the apartment complex, and a stay information transmitting unit that transmits stay information including the contractor's stay time recorded by the stay recording unit to the client's terminal device 200 and / or the contractor's server device 300.
[0067] Specifically, the stay recording unit determines that the judgment unit is a contractor authenticated by the client, and based on that, records the timing when the door control unit commands the door to be opened as the entry time when the work performer entered the apartment building in a designated area of memory.
[0068] Next, the stay recording unit detects the departure time of the business performer from the apartment building and records it in association with the entry time. The departure time of the business performer is, for example, the timing when the business-related information acquisition unit determines that the business performer is the business performer when a human detection sensor 2' (shown in FIG. 1) that detects a person going out from inside and opens the door detects a person.
[0069] At this time, the stay recording unit records the entry and exit times, as well as the identifier of the entity that performed the business, i.e., the business performer or contractor, and also records the identifier of the business object, i.e., the ordered item. Then, the stay information transmitting unit transmits the stay information including the visit time of the contractor to the purchaser side terminal device 200 and / or the contractor side server device 300 together with a part or all of the contractor attribute information.
[0070] According to such a configuration, the orderer can know that the ordered item has arrived and the time of arrival, which can prevent the orderer from forgetting to pick up the ordered item.
[0071] It is also possible to alert the client or the contractor if the time spent by the worker is longer than a predetermined time.
[0072] From the contractor's perspective, the time the worker leaves the parcel and the amount of time they spend there will enable more detailed management of the delivery operation, which can be useful for improving operations and awarding workers who have worked efficiently.
[0073] Furthermore, the visit record section can identify the order in which a single worker visits multiple apartment complexes, the time it takes to reach the next apartment complex, etc. This can also be used to improve operations.
[0074] [Fourth embodiment] Recording of a contractor's movement route within an apartment building In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 9, in an apartment building with multiple doors inside, a human detection sensor 2A (hereinafter referred to as a second human detection sensor 2A to distinguish it from the human detection sensor installed on the door) is installed on each of one or more doors other than the entrance door, and the stay recording unit identifies the movement route of the work performer within the apartment building based on the time when each second human detection sensor 2A detects the work performer.
[0075] Specifically, for example, the stay recording unit identifies the movement route of the work performer by arranging the times at which each second person detection sensor 2A detects a person within a certain period of time, starting from the time when the entrance door is opened recognizing the work performer, and stores this movement route in a specified area of memory.
[0076] Then, the stay information transmitting unit transmits the stay information including the movement route to the orderer side terminal device and / or the contractor side terminal device, similarly to the third embodiment.
[0077] In this manner, as in the third embodiment, the client can keep track of the activity history of the person carrying out the work within the apartment complex, which can alert the client and provide a sense of security.
[0078] From the contractor's perspective, similar to the third embodiment, this can be useful for business improvement, awards, etc.
[0079] [Fifth embodiment] Providing route to location within apartment complex for contractor The business management system in this embodiment further includes a business execution information transmission unit (not shown) that transmits business execution information, which is information for executing business in an apartment complex, to the agent's mobile terminal.
[0080] In the case of a delivery service, this task execution information is, for example, a residential map showing the delivery locations within an apartment building.
[0081] The business execution information transmission unit transmits business execution information (e.g., a map of the home showing the drop-off location) pre-recorded in a designated area of memory to the business execution person's mobile terminal at the time when the judgment unit judges that the business execution person is a business execution person, that is, at the time when the business execution person enters through the entrance door of the apartment building.
[0082] With this arrangement, the person carrying out the delivery can carry out the delivery task without getting lost within the apartment complex by looking at the map of the interior of the residence.
[0083] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the business execution information is transmitted via local communication only to the mobile terminal of the person who the judgment unit has determined to be the business execution person, thereby making it possible to prevent as much as possible the leakage of information within the apartment complex contained in the business execution information, which can also contribute to improved security.
[0084] In addition, since the business execution information only needs to be stored within the door sensor device, and there is no need for a cloud server, this also contributes to improved security, and it can easily accommodate changes, such as a change in the delivery location within an apartment building.
[0085] This business execution information may be displayed on a display such as a signal light or a display installed in the apartment building, or may be notified by voice through an audio device. In this way, the business execution information is transmitted and received only within the apartment building, further improving security.
[0086] [Other embodiments] Other business In an apartment building, items ordered by multiple different residents (orderers) may be delivered to the building at the same time and left there. In that case, the person who performs the work will enter the apartment complex using one of the client authentication information, which will result in other client authentication information being "left over." This may cause a problem in which the delivery of the other ordered items is not marked as completed.
[0087] To solve this problem, for example, the business executor may input into a mobile terminal that the placement and delivery of other ordered items has been completed. Also, in order to eliminate the need for the business executor to perform input work, for example, a method may be adopted in which multiple ordered items that can be transported together are treated as a group, and when the purchaser authentication information for one of the ordered items is used, it is automatically determined that the purchaser authentication information for the other ordered items has been used.
[0088] In each of the above-described embodiments, a delivery service was used as an example, but this business management system is not limited to delivery services and can be applied to various tasks performed within apartment buildings, such as boiler management, power distribution, elevator management, cleaning, and the like. In such a case, the opening time and the number of times the entrance door is opened may be changed for each type of business. Furthermore, the present invention can be applied to the management of operations carried out inside various facilities (particularly buildings) equipped with security systems, in addition to apartment buildings. For example, such facilities may include unmanned stores, nurseries and schools, hotels, factories, warehouses, hospitals, offices, and tenant buildings, and the present invention can be applied to managing third-party businesses, such as vendors who enter such facilities to carry out business. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to automatic doors, but can also be applied to doors whose locking and unlocking can be controlled by a drive device.
[0089] [Sixth embodiment] In each of the above-mentioned embodiments of the contractor management system, the information processing device of the door sensor device is configured to function as a business attribute information acquisition unit, a purchaser authentication information acquisition unit, and a judgment unit, but the physical configuration of each of the above-mentioned units is not limited to this.
[0090] As shown in FIG. 10, the sixth embodiment of the contractor management system is configured using a door sensor device 100 installed near the entrance door D of an apartment building, and a contractor management server 500 used, for example, by an apartment building manager, and this contractor management server 500 performs the functions of the business attribute information acquisition unit, purchaser authentication information acquisition unit, and judgment unit mentioned above.
[0091] The contractor management server 500 is a computer equipped with a CPU, memory, a communication interface, etc., and functions as the business attribute information acquisition unit, purchaser authentication information acquisition unit, and judgment unit by the CPU and peripheral devices working together in accordance with a predetermined program stored in the memory. The contractor management server 500 may be a virtualized computer provided in, for example, a cloud. The contractor management server 500 is configured to be able to communicate with external devices such as the door sensor device 100 and the mobile terminal 400 via the communication network N, etc.
[0092] The business attribute information acquisition unit in this embodiment communicates with the mobile terminal 400 held by the person detected by the human detection sensor 2, for example via an Internet line, and acquires the business attribute information pre-recorded in the mobile terminal 400 and the device information of the door sensor device 100 that is detecting the person.
[0093] Specifically, when the detection sensor 2 detects a person, the door sensor device 100 transmits the device information to the mobile terminal 400 held by the detected person via local communication using, for example, Bluetooth. Then, when the device information is received, the mobile terminal 400 transmits the task attribute information and the device information to the task attribute information acquisition unit.
[0094] The device information is information for identifying the apartment building in which the door sensor device 100 is installed, and is, for example, a product number unique to the device, a serial number assigned to the device after installation, or the name or address of the apartment building, etc. This device information is recorded in a predetermined area of the memory of the information processing device 3 of the door sensor device 100.
[0095] The client authentication information acquisition unit in this embodiment does not acquire client authentication information in advance, but rather, when the business attribute information acquisition unit acquires the device information, it acquires the client authentication information necessary to identify the business performer who has been requested to perform the work in the apartment building identified based on the device information.
[0096] Specifically, the purchaser authentication information acquisition unit acquires the purchaser authentication information by communicating with the contractor server device 300, for example, via an Internet line. Note that the method of acquiring the purchaser authentication information is not limited to the above example, and for example, the purchaser authentication information may be acquired from a predetermined area of a memory that records the purchaser authentication information previously received from the contractor server 300, or may be acquired by communicating with the purchaser terminal device 200 used by the purchaser to place an order.
[0097] The judgment unit compares the business attribute information acquired by the business attribute information acquisition unit from the person detected by the human detection sensor 2 with the purchaser authentication information acquired by the purchaser authentication acquisition unit, and judges whether the person detected by the human detection sensor 2 is a contractor authenticated by the purchaser.
[0098] When the determination unit determines that the person detected by the human detection sensor 2 is a trader authenticated by the purchaser, the determination unit outputs an authentication result signal indicating that fact. The authentication result signal here is transmitted to the mobile terminal 400, for example, via an Internet line.
[0099] Upon receiving an authentication result signal indicating that the authentication has been successful, the mobile terminal 400 transmits an unlock request signal requesting unlocking of the door to the door control unit via, for example, a local line.
[0100] The door control unit of this embodiment outputs a door opening / closing command signal based on the detection signal output from the unlock requesting human detection sensor 2 and the unlock request signal. That is, this door control unit transmits an opening / closing command signal to a door opening / closing drive device (not shown) to open the door when a human is detected by the human detection sensor and the determination unit determines that the detected human is the certified contractor. The door control unit may output the door opening / closing command signal based on the detection signal and the authentication result signal received from the determination unit via, for example, an internet line.
[0101] According to the contractor management system of the sixth embodiment configured as described above, it is possible to simplify the processing function and communication function of the door sensor device 100. In addition, the contractor management server 500 can manage the unlocking status and unlocking history of each door, which can be utilized to improve security.
[0102] The contractor management server 500 may be provided as the contractor-side server device 300 described above, as shown in Fig. 11. In this case, for example, the purchaser authentication information acquisition unit acquires the purchaser authentication information pre-recorded in the order data storage unit set in a predetermined area of the memory of the contractor-side server device 300.
[0103] In addition, the mobile terminal 400 used by the business performer may be configured to perform the functions of the business attribute information acquisition unit, purchaser authentication information acquisition unit, and judgment unit described above, and the functions of the stay time recording unit or business performance information transmission unit described above may be performed by the contractor management server 500 or the mobile terminal 400.
