Also, the program is stored in a non-transitory storage medium such as a ROM, an optical disk, or a hard disk drive that can be read by a computer. The program may be stored in the storage medium in advance or may be supplied to the storage medium via a wide area communication network including the Internet or the like.

[0013] "Overall System" FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing the configuration of a collective facility system incorporating a control system of a collective facility which is an example of an embodiment.

[0014] The collective facility system includes a control system 1 installed in a collective facility such as an apartment and a management system 3 connected to the control system 1 by a communication line 2 such as the Internet.

[0015] The control system 1 is a system installed in an apartment building or other collective facility, and includes a shared facility including an entrance system 10 provided at the shared entrance, a household system 20 provided in each household which is the exclusive area of each occupant, and a control device 30 that performs various controls.

[0016] The entrance system 10 is a system provided at the shared entrance of the collective facility, and includes an entrance intercom 11 for communicating with visitors, a key detection device 12 for detecting the card keys of visitors and occupants, an entrance door 13 which is the entrance of the apartment building, and an electric lock 14 for locking and unlocking the entrance door 13.

[0017] The household system 20 has an intercom 22, an electric lock 23 for locking and unlocking the door of the household, various sensors 24, various electrical appliances 25, etc. Here, the intercom 22 includes an intercom master unit 22a provided in the living room and a door phone slave unit 22b provided at the entrance door, and this intercom master unit 22a functions as a control unit for controlling various devices in each household. Note that the various sensors 24 include a fire detector, a thermometer, and a hygrometer, the various electrical appliances 25 include an air conditioner, and the intercom master unit 22a can control the air conditioner, etc.

[0018] In addition, a delivery box 40 is provided corresponding to each household. The delivery box 40 may be provided collectively for each household in a shared area near the shared entrance, or may be provided at the entrance of each household. The delivery box 40 provided in the shared area can be connected to the control device 30, and when provided in each household, it can be connected to the intercom master unit 22a.

[0019] The control device 30 is connected to the entrance system 10 and the household system 20, and also includes a management room master unit 15 that functions as an intercom connected to the entrance intercom 11, and an elevator 50. In addition, a communication line 2 is connected to the control device 30 via a gateway 61 and a router 62, and the control device 30 can communicate with the outside.

[0020] The management system 3 connected to the communication line 2 has a management server 3a and a verification server 3b, and performs various management of multiple apartment buildings and the like. As will be described later, the management system 3 can also be formed as a device on the cloud, including the control device 30.

[0021] "Management system" The management system 3 manages, for example, a plurality of collective facilities, but may also correspond to only one collective facility, or may correspond to only one operator such as a delivery operator.

[0022] The management server 3a performs communication and various processes. The verification server 3b stores data for performing various verifications, performs data verification according to the information supplied from the management server 3a, and returns the verification result to the management server 3a. For example, when a waybill number is supplied as input information for a home delivery package, the verification server 3b returns the room number of the delivery destination. In addition, the verification server 3b may store various data necessary for the authentication of visitors in the collective facility targeted by the management system 3 and perform necessary verification processing. For example, when a construction contractor, a cleaning contractor, a cleaning contractor (collection), etc. visit, data necessary for authentication in advance (IDs of each contractor, passwords, etc.) can be received and stored, and verification can be performed at the time of visit. In addition, the work schedules of each contractor, etc. may also be stored, and verification with the scheduled time, etc. may also be performed. Furthermore, it is advisable to let the contractor enter their ID and password, and verify these to authenticate the contractor. Furthermore, the employee ID of each person entering can also be registered and this verification can also be performed. Note that at least a part or all of the management system 3 may be included in the control system 1. Also, as described above, a waybill number is supplied to the management server 3a as input information and the room number is returned, but the management system 3 can provide the following information. The provided information may be stored in the verification server 3b as appropriate, but may also be stored in the management server 3a. In this case, it may be possible to transmit information from the management server 3a in response to requests for necessary information from the verification server 3b or other servers, etc. · Identification information regarding a collective facility such as an object ID etc. · When the collective facility consists of a plurality of buildings, identification information regarding the buildings · Room number · Information regarding the presence or absence of elevator security such as restrictions on stopping floors etc. · Information regarding the presence or absence of a delivery box or a delivery locker, and information regarding the usage status such as the state of storing items etc. · Information regarding the presence or absence of a delivery box for each household, and information regarding the usage status such as the state of storing items etc. · Information regarding the presence or absence of a security setting for each household · Information regarding the presence or absence of a collection request (a collection request from at least one of the households targeted for delivery and the households not targeted for delivery) for each household Also, these pieces of information may be transmitted to the management server 3a at the timing when the entrance intercom 11 receives the input of information for unlocking and transmits the input information, or may be periodically transmitted at a predetermined timing. Furthermore, in the management system, it may be provided at the timing when the collective facility to be linked is registered. Also, it may be provided at the timing when an operator etc. operating the collation server 3b etc. performs registration for linking with the management server 3a and the control system. Also, these pieces of information may be provided spontaneously, or may be provided based on a request from any one of the management system 3, the management server 3a, the collation server 3b, or any external system connected thereto. Note that when a carrier ID, a room number, and a slip number are input by the entrance intercom 11 when a carrier etc. visits, the management server 3a does not need to return the room number, and in this case, it is sufficient to return only an instruction indicating whether to permit unlocking (OK / NG). Note that the collation server 3b is often provided separately for each carrier, and in that case, it is advisable to allocate the collation server 3b that collates according to the carrier ID.

[0023] "Collective facility" Examples of the collective facilities to which the control system 1 is applied include apartment houses, dormitories, company housing, etc. Any facility with a shared entrance can be used, not limited to apartment houses. The control system 1 is applicable to facilities composed of a plurality of facilities (such as a plurality of companies, departments, sections, etc.), such as offices, factories, research facilities, medical facilities, accommodation facilities, etc.

[0024] "Entrance System" In the shared entrance, there is an entrance intercom 11, which is a shared entrance device for calling each household. The entrance intercom 11 is used by visitors including delivery workers. Visitors can input the destination household on the entrance intercom 11 and make a call. In addition, the shared entrance is provided with an entrance door 13 and an electric lock 14 for locking the entrance door 13. The electric lock 14 is, for example, an auto-lock device that automatically locks the entrance door 13 when the entrance door 13 is closed, and the electric lock 14 is locked and unlocked under the control of the control device 30. The entrance door 13 is composed of, for example, an automatic door, and is basically in a locked state during normal times. Note that the entrance intercom 11 is communicably connected to, in addition to the control device 30, the master intercom 22a of each household.

[0025] The entrance intercom 11 is installed outside the entrance door 13 of the shared entrance. Therefore, in order for a visitor to enter inside the entrance door 13 of the collective facility, it is necessary to call the destination household on the entrance intercom 11 and have the resident of that household unlock the electric lock of the entrance door 13. The resident can confirm the visitor on the master intercom 22a and operate the master intercom 22a to unlock the electric lock 14. Also, as will be described later, the electric lock 14 can be unlocked by having the control device 30 authenticate.

[0026] In the example shown in FIG. 1, a key detection device 12 is installed at the shared entrance. Similar to the entrance intercom 11, the key detection device 12 is installed outside the entrance door 13 of the shared entrance. The key detection device 12 is composed of, for example, an IC card reader, and when it detects a pre-registered card key, it sends a door unlocking signal to the electric lock 14. As a result, the electric lock 14 is unlocked and the entrance door 13 opens.

[0027] "Entrance intercom" FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the entrance intercom 11 which is a shared entrance device. As shown in FIG. 2, the entrance intercom 11 includes a numeric keypad 11a for inputting a resident number and a ticket number, and a call button 11b for executing a call. A visitor can call the resident of the visited household by inputting the resident number with the numeric keypad 11a and pressing the call button 11b. The entrance intercom 11 also includes a camera 11d, a microphone 11e, a speaker 11f, a monitor 11g, and a reverse master key insertion part 11h. A resident or the like who owns a key can also insert the key into the reverse master key insertion part 11h to unlock the electric lock of the entrance door 13.

[0028] The entrance intercom 11 takes a picture of the visitor with the camera 11d and sends the video to the intercom main unit 22a where the call is made. From the speaker 11f, a call sound, and when the resident responds, the voice etc. are output. Also, since the voice of the visitor is acquired by the microphone 11e and sent to the intercom main unit 22a, it is possible to talk to the resident of the visited household. On the monitor 11g, for example, the resident number input by the numeric keypad 11a may be displayed, or the video taken by the camera 11d may be displayed. The speaker 11f and the monitor 11g may be used for outputting information regarding the usage status of the delivery box 40 described later.

[0029] The entrance intercom 11 may further include a delivery button 11c used by delivery companies. When the delivery button 11c is operated, for example, the call to the intercom master unit 22a may be made in a different way from that for ordinary visitors so that it can be determined that the visitor is a delivery company. Also, as will be described later, the delivery button 11c may be used to unlock the delivery box 40 or to check information on the usage status.

[0030] Also, the entrance intercom 11 is connected to the management system 3 via the control device 30, and thus the input information entered in the entrance intercom 11 can be supplied to the management system 3.

[0031] For example, by long-pressing or double-pressing the delivery button 11c, pressing a separately provided delivery communication button, or selecting authentication by ticket number with the management system 3 from the menu display after pressing the delivery button 11c and then entering the ticket number from the numeric keypad, etc., the delivery ticket number can be supplied as input information to the management system 3. The management system 3 can control various devices (e.g., elevator) based on the input information. Note that for the input of the ticket number, the control device 30 or the management server 3a may recognize the ticket number by obtaining a photographed image of a code such as a barcode of the ticket number displayed on the ticket using the camera 11d of the entrance intercom 11. Also, if the collation data is transferred in advance, the control device 30 can perform the collation and authentication of the ticket number. Also, when the entrance intercom 11 does not have the delivery button 11c, for example, by using the numeric keypad 11a, (i) it is possible to shift to an input screen for a ticket number or the like by entering a specific number including numbers and symbols (#, *) etc., or (ii) it is possible to shift to an input screen for a ticket number or the like when there is no response to a call by normal room number input. Note that the delivery company can enter the company ID, room number, and ticket number using the numeric keypad 11a etc., and the control device 30 can process this input information. In this case, the management system 3 may perform authentication for unlocking the electric lock 14, or the authentication in the management system 3 can be omitted.

[0032] In addition, the functions of the entrance intercom 11 can also be substituted by a smartphone or the like. In this case, authentication involving reading an image (for example, a barcode) or the like may be performed between the smartphone and the entrance intercom 11 to confirm that the smartphone is at the shared entrance. It is preferable to display a barcode on the screen of the smartphone and perform read authentication with the entrance intercom 11, or vice versa, to read the barcode displayed on the entrance intercom 11 with the smartphone for authentication. Also, authentication may be performed by performing proximity communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark).

[0033] "Residential unit system" Each residential unit is provided with an intercom 22 including an intercom master unit 22a and a doorphone slave unit 22b. In addition, each residential unit may be provided with a sub-master unit communicably connected to the doorphone slave unit 22b via the intercom master unit 22a, and a plurality of delivery boxes 40 may be provided.

[0034] The intercom master unit 22a is communicably connected to the control device 30. The intercom master unit 22a is equipped with a microphone, a speaker, a monitor, a call button, etc., and a resident can communicate with a visitor via the doorphone device and confirm the image of the visitor with the intercom master unit.

[0035] The intercom master unit 22a further includes an unlocking button for unlocking the electric lock 23 at the residential unit entrance. In addition, the intercom master unit 22a may be provided with an input function for setting the unlocking of the delivery box 40. For example, when luggage is stored in the delivery box 40, it is preferable that the information is transmitted to the intercom master unit 22a and displayed on the monitor. The intercom master unit 22a may be connected to a wide area communication network such as the Internet and may be configured to transmit a notification to inform a resident's communication terminal that a delivery has arrived.

[0036] The door phone sub-unit 22b is provided outside each dwelling unit and is equipped with a call button for calling the intercom master unit 22a. Also, similar to the entrance intercom 11, the door phone sub-unit 22b is equipped with a camera, a microphone, and a speaker. When the call button is operated, the intercom master unit 22a is called, and the visitor is photographed by the camera of the door phone sub-unit 22b, and the image is displayed on the monitor of the intercom master unit 22a. The intercom master unit 22a may be provided with a function of recording the image of the visitor. The intercom master unit 22a may record the image of the operator photographed by the camera of the door phone sub-unit 22b when the delivery box 40 is operated.

[0037] "Control device" Figure 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the control device 30. The control device 30 includes a processor 31 that executes arithmetic processing for controlling the control system 1, and a memory 32 in which a control program and the like are stored. The memory 32 is constituted by, for example, RAM, ROM, a hard disk, etc., and is built in a computer including the processor 31. Note that the control device 30 may be constituted by one computer or may be constituted by a plurality of computers. Also, part or all of the functions of the control device 30 may exist in a server or the like outside the collective facility such as a cloud server, similar to the management system 3.

[0038] The control device 30 is a device that comprehensively controls the control system 1 of the collective facility. It is communicably connected to the entrance intercom 11, the master intercom 22a, the management room master intercom 15, etc., receives signals from each device to obtain various information, and outputs control signals to each device to control each device. Further, the control device 30 is communicably connected to the door phone slave unit 22b via the master intercom 22a. Furthermore, it is connected to the communication line 2 via the communication unit 38 of the control device 30 (in FIG. 3, the illustration of the gateway 61 and the router 62 is omitted), and can perform desired communication with the outside. In particular, since it is connected to the management system 3 including the management server 3a and the verification server 3b, various communications using these can be performed, and various devices within the collective facility can be controlled according to signals from the management system 3. Note that the control device 30 may be included in the entrance intercom 11.

[0039] The processor 31 reads and executes the control program installed in the memory 32, thereby realizing the functions of the first processing unit 33, the second processing unit 34, the third processing unit 35, the fourth processing unit 36, and the fifth processing unit 37. That is, the control program installed in the memory 32 includes various control programs, and also includes a program for realizing the control of the elevator 50 by a computer. Further, the communication unit 38 controls communication with the management server 3a via the communication line 2 and communication with the entrance system 10. Note that the first to fifth processing units 33 to 37 function as the first to fifth output units.

[0040] As described above, the control device 30 is communicably connected to the entrance intercom 11 of the shared entrance and the master intercom units 22a of each household, and has a function of controlling these devices. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the control device 30 is connected to the management server 3a of the management system 3 via the gateway 61, the router 62, and the communication line 2. The control device 30 can acquire information necessary for the control of the control system 1 from the management server 3a. The control unit 30 also functions as an information acquisition unit. Further, the control device 30 is communicably connected to the master intercom unit 15 in the management room. The master intercom unit 15 in the management room can transmit various information to the entrance intercom 11 and the plurality of master intercom units 22a via the control device 30, for example.

[0041] The control device 30 includes a first processing unit 33 that executes operations such as calling the master intercom unit 22a and unlocking the electric lock of the entrance door 13. The first processing unit 33 is configured to call a predetermined master intercom unit 22a when a call operation is performed on the entrance intercom 11, and output a door unlocking signal to the electric lock 14 based on the operation of the master intercom unit 22a. When a door unlocking signal is output to the electric lock 14, the electric lock of the entrance door 13 is unlocked. Note that the electric lock 14 may be connected to the entrance intercom 11 and output a signal for unlocking (unlocking control) from the entrance intercom 11. Further, the first processing unit 33 executes a call to the master intercom unit 22a when the call button of the door phone slave unit 22b is operated.

[0042] <Cooperation with the management system> As described above, the control device 30 includes a first processing unit 33, a second processing unit 34, a third processing unit 35, a fourth processing unit 36, and a fifth processing unit 37. The first processing unit 33 performs an unlocking process of the electric lock 14 in the entrance system 10. The second processing unit 34 performs control related to the elevator 50. Further, the third processing unit 35 outputs unlocking information as additional information, the fourth processing unit 36 performs unlocking of the delivery box 40, and the fifth processing unit 37 executes a one-time password process. The first to fifth processing units 33 to 37 are configured to communicate with the management system 3 and execute various processes according to the obtained information. Note that each part of the control device 30 may be provided in a distributed manner in a plurality of devices included in the control system 1.

[0043] When a connection to the management server a of the management system 3 is required in the entrance system 10, the first to fifth processing units 33 to 37 communicate and connect with the management server 3a, and supply an input signal (for example, a slip number) to the management server 3a. Further, according to the information (control signal) from the management server 3a, operations of the elevator 50 and various unlocking controls are performed.

[0044] "Elevator Control" When the second processing unit 34 acquires delivery destination resident identification information (for example, the room number of the resident) from the management server 3a, it performs a process for controlling the elevator 50 and the like. That is, when it is confirmed from the content stored in the memory 32 (the relationship between the room number and the floor) that the elevator 50 is to be used, the elevator car is called to the entrance floor, which is the floor with the common entrance. Usually, the entrance floor is the first floor with the common entrance, but there may be cases where the common entrance is not on the first floor, and the floor corresponding to the common entrance (the arrangement position of the common entrance device) is used. Usually, it is the floor closest to the common entrance when entering from the common entrance and heading towards the elevator 50.

[0045] Also, when the floor of the delivery destination is known, the floor number can be displayed or voice output to the entrance intercom 11.

[0046] Furthermore, it is advisable to provide assistance even when a delivery person who has entered from the entrance rides the elevator 50. For example, in the control device 30, since the destination room is known, when the delivery person gets into the elevator car seated on the entrance floor, the destination floor of the destination room can be automatically selected and specified as the destination floor. Also, although the delivery person is to press the button for the destination floor, it is also possible to prohibit pressing the buttons for other floors.

[0047] In addition, a process of confirming that a visitor (delivery person) who has received authentication in the shared entrance gets into the elevator 50 may be performed. For example, surveillance cameras may be provided in passages within the collective facility or the like, and it is advisable to confirm that the delivery person who has received authentication gets into the elevator 50. Also, the image obtained by the entrance intercom 11 may be received by the control device 30 and compared with the image obtained by a camera provided in the elevator hall or inside the elevator car 50 when getting into the elevator 50 to recognize the delivery person. This recognition may be performed in the management system 3.

[0048] Depending on the collective facility, additional information may be required for authentication regarding the destination floor of the elevator. Usually, only when a predetermined card is read by a card reader or the like inside the elevator, the destination floor button can be pressed. In the case where the delivery destination floor is a floor that requires additional information, it is also possible to omit the authentication of the additional information and enable pressing the destination floor button, or to automatically specify that floor.

[0049] "Output of one-time password" Also, during the process at the entrance, the entrance intercom 11 may output a one-time password. That is, in the management system 3, when it can be recognized as a regular delivery based on the input signal, not only a signal for unlocking the entrance door is transmitted, but also a one-time password is output and displayed on the entrance intercom 11 or the like to inform the delivery person.

[0050] This enables the delivery person to use the received one-time password for subsequent authentication within the collective facility.

[0051] "Configuration of the Elevator" FIG. 5 shows the configuration of the elevator 50. As shown, the elevator 50 has a communication unit 51, which communicates with the control device 30. Further, a processing unit 52 is connected to the communication unit 51, and this processing unit 52 controls various operations of the elevator 50. A mechanical unit 53 is connected to the processing unit 52. This mechanical unit 53 includes a motor for moving the elevator car 54 up and down, an operating mechanism for opening and closing the doors on the car and floor sides, and the like. Therefore, by the processing unit 52 controlling the operation of the mechanical unit 53, the elevator car of the elevator 50 moves to the destination floor, and the opening and closing of the doors for getting on and off the car are controlled.

[0052] "Delivery Box" The delivery box 40 includes a luggage receiving chamber for storing luggage, a door for opening and closing the luggage receiving chamber, and a door locking mechanism. Generally, the delivery box 40 is provided with an opening button operated when opening the door, a display unit for indicating whether luggage can be stored or not, an insertion slot into which a slip is inserted, an imprinting mechanism for imprinting the slip, and an imprinting button operated when imprinting. In addition, the delivery box 40 is provided with at least one of an insertion portion for inserting a key (dedicated key) for unlocking the door or an input portion for inputting a password for unlocking. Note that the delivery box 40 only needs to have a door locking mechanism, and for example, it does not necessarily need to have an imprinting mechanism.

[0053] The delivery box 40 is mainly used by a delivery company when the resident, who is the recipient of the package, is absent. However, a delivery method where packages are received without face-to-face interaction using the delivery box 40 has also become established. The delivery company operates the opening button of the delivery box 40 to open the door, stores the package in the receiving room, and locks the door. When the package is stored and the door is locked, the display unit switches to indicate that it is in use. The resident can open the door and retrieve the package using a dedicated key or a password for unlocking. Note that the delivery box 40 can also be used for the purpose of storing packages collected by the delivery company or others.

[0054] The delivery box 40 has its door locked not only after the package is stored (after receiving the package) but also before receiving the package. For this reason, it is prevented that items other than the delivered items are stored in the box due to mischief or the like, or the door is locked and rendered unusable, ensuring good security. On the other hand, if the door of the delivery box 40 is locked before receiving the package, the delivery company cannot use it, so it is necessary to unlock the door in an appropriate way considering security. The control system 1 executes processing related to unlocking the delivery box 40 while ensuring good security of the delivery box 40 and not impairing the convenience of the delivery company.

[0055] Note that the control device 30 can be configured to output an unlocking signal for unlocking the delivery box 40 corresponding to a predetermined household under predetermined conditions when information for unlocking the electric lock 14 of the front door 13 is acquired together with information identifying the predetermined household (for example, room number). That is, the delivery box 40 may be automatically unlocked in association with unlocking the electric lock 14 of the front door 13. The delivery box 40 may be configured to unlock upon receiving the unlocking signal.

[0056] "Operation Explanation" Hereinafter, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 4, the processing at the time of visiting the control device 30 in the control system of the collective facility having the above configuration will be described.

[0057] First, the operation of the entrance intercom 11 is started when it detects a person or is touched on its screen.

[0058] First, it is determined whether input information authentication is selected (S11). When the entrance intercom 11 starts operating, it is advisable to first display a menu screen and determine whether input information authentication is selected from among them. If NO in S11, for example, when room number input is selected, normal processing is performed. That is, by inputting the room number, the entrance intercom 11 and the intercom master unit 22a of the corresponding household are connected, and the electric lock 14 of the entrance door 13 is unlocked by the authentication of the resident. In the case of being out, return to S11 and select input information authentication. Also, the menu may be displayed only when the menu button is touched, and normal processing may be performed when it is not touched.

[0059] If the determination in S11 is YES, input information is captured (S12). That is, the entrance intercom 11 enters a state of waiting for the input of a slip number, and the input information such as the slip number is captured by being input using the numeric keypad 11a. Note that the content of the input information should also be selectable, and for example, employee IDs, etc. should also be inputtable. Also, in some cases, delivery companies may have a dedicated card or password to release the auto-lock, and in that case, their input may be requested. For example, after pressing the delivery button 11c, input the slip number using the numeric keypad 11a and hold the dedicated key in front of the key detection device 12 to receive authentication in the management system 3. It is also possible to perform not only the input of the slip number but also the input of the delivery company's dedicated ID, password, and room number, or the input of the delivery company's dedicated card and room number. Also, in the case of cleaning companies, etc., input of IDs, passwords, etc. and presentation (reading) of cards can similarly be requested.

[0060] The control device 30 performs this authentication based on the captured input information (S13). This authentication is performed by the control device 30 sending the input information to the management system 3 and receiving the authentication result. That is, the control device 30 sends the input information to the management server 3a of the management system 3, and the management server 3a queries the voucher number and recognizes the room number using the collation server 3b. The collation server 3b returns the corresponding room number from the sent voucher number, and the management server 3a sends the room number to the control device 30. Note that the control device 30 may receive data regarding the relevant collective facility in the collation server 3b from the management server 3a and store it in the memory 32, and the control device 30 may perform the authentication process independently. As described above, in the management system 3, it has not only voucher numbers but also various types of information, and based on this information, various control signals and information can be provided to the control device 30.

[0061] Determine whether the authentication based on the input information has succeeded (S14). If the determination in S14 is successful (YES), the control device 30 unlocks the front door electric lock 14 (S15). If the authentication cannot be completed (NO), the process ends. If the input of the input information is to be redone, start over from the authentication of the input information in S11.

[0062] <Elevator operation assistance> In addition, the control device 30 sends a control signal to the elevator 50 to move the car to the entrance floor (S16). That is, the control device 30 confirms that the visitor has received authentication at the entrance and entered the collective facility. For example, as described above, it is advisable to track the visitor with a camera or the like installed on the route to the elevator landing such as the lobby in the collective facility, and recognize that the person getting into the elevator 50 is the visitor who received authentication at the entrance. The visitor can also be recognized by comparing the image obtained at the entrance with the image of the person getting into the elevator car.

[0063] (Designation of destination floor) Next, the control device 30 performs processing regarding the destination floor of the elevator 50 (S17). The room number has been notified to the control device 30 from the management server 3a. Therefore, the control device 30 checks the floor stored in the memory in association with the room number, and supplies a destination control signal to the elevator 50. Then, based on this destination control signal, the elevator 50 assists the delivery person or the like who has boarded in inputting the destination floor.

[0064] For example, the destination floor is automatically set. That is, when it is confirmed by a camera or the like that a person who has been authenticated at the entrance has boarded, the destination floor included in the destination control signal is automatically specified. As a result, it is not necessary for the delivery person or the like who has boarded to press the destination floor button, and inconveniences such as accidentally pressing the button for the wrong floor can be eliminated. Furthermore, in the delivery of luggage or the like, there are cases where both hands are occupied, and it is often convenient if the destination floor is automatically specified.

[0065] (Specification of floors where destination can be specified) Alternatively, instead of automatically specifying the destination floor, the floors where the destination can be specified may be specified, and the user may input the destination floor. That is, only the destination button for the destination floor included in the destination specification signal can be pressed, and pressing other destination floor buttons is invalidated. As a result, after the delivery person or the like has boarded and confirmed that they are ready to move the car of the elevator 50, the movement of the car can be started.

[0066] In addition, in the destination floor button, the floor number specified by the destination control signal can be blinked or the like to notify the button to be operated by the delivery person or the like.

[0067] In this way, since input assistance for the destination floor is performed, it becomes easier for users such as delivery persons to use the elevator.

[0068] When such assistance for the destination floor is completed, the elevator assistance operation is terminated.

[0069] The delivery person of the delivery service provider may store the package in the package box beside the entrance of the delivery destination or place the package in front of the entrance and then notify the relevant party of this matter.

[0070] "Unlocking the electric lock of doors other than the entrance door" (Specific floor) In this example, the control device 30 has a fourth processing unit 36, and the fourth processing unit 36 is used to perform additional unlocking control.

[0071] For the top floor of an apartment building, etc., as a special floor, additional card authentication may be required when specifying the destination floor of the elevator 50, and for other reasons, authentication of additional information may also be required for specific floors.

[0072] When such a specific floor is set as the destination floor, the destination control signal from the control device 30 can include permission for the specific floor. This enables the destination floor input assistance as described above.

[0073] In this way, according to this embodiment, when the resident of the dwelling unit is absent or the occupant does not respond even when present, an unlocking instruction for the entrance door is sent from the management server 3a by inputting the slip number, etc., and the door is unlocked without the resident performing the unlocking operation, and the elevator 50 is controlled. Also, in the case of a delivery service provider, the package can be stored in the package box 40 of each dwelling unit or the package box 40 in the shared space (trunk room), or placed in front of the entrance of each dwelling unit (so-called "oki-hai"). In the case of oki-hai, a bag for oki-hai can also be prepared.

[0074] (Shared facilities) In an apartment building or other multi-tenant facility, the entrance space from the entrance becomes the lobby space, and often an elevator hall continues from this entrance space. Sometimes, a shared lounge space or shared facilities such as a shared event room are provided in the entrance space. Here, in such cases where there are shared facilities, a partition door with an electric lock may be provided at the boundary between the shared facilities and the entrance space and the internal area, which is the shared facilities, and further authentication may be required. That is, in some cases, residents of the multi-tenant facility can enter the shared facilities by authenticating with their card keys or the like. Also, the shared facilities may include a management office or the like.

[0075] When delivering luggage to the management office, during construction, cleaning, etc., it is necessary to enter the shared facilities. Therefore, in such cases, it is necessary to unlock the partition door to the shared facilities. A dedicated card for a contractor or the like may be provided and the partition door may be unlocked with that card, or unlocking may be performed by authentication through communication with the management server 3a as described above.

[0076] Also in this case, it is advisable to input the slip number as input information. Accordingly, the control device 30 unlocks the partition door. By issuing a slip number for the collection and delivery of construction contractors, cleaning contractors, and cleaning companies, the same processing as for the courier company can be performed.

[0077] (Exclusive area) In addition to the above-mentioned shared facilities, there may also be a partition door at the boundary to the passageway to the residential units, which are also internal areas of the multi-tenant facility, and this partition door may also require authentication different from the entrance door. In this case, the elevator 50 is often included in the passageway to the residential units. Also, although the passageway may be separate from the above-mentioned shared facilities, it may be the same space as the shared facilities. For the partition door to the passageway in such cases, the same processing as the partition door to the above-mentioned shared facilities can be performed.

[0078] If there is a porch in front of the entrance of each household and an electric lock is installed on the door of this porch, the unlocking of the electric lock on this door can be performed in the same way as the unlocking of the common facilities.
