Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an entrance management system for providing services to users who are residents or users of an apartment building or building. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, the services provided to users by concierges and managers in apartment buildings and buildings required a great deal of experience to provide advanced services. For example, in an apartment building, it is difficult to determine whether a person in each room is a resident or not, and who that person is, unless one has been doing the job for many years.

[0003] For example, when delivering parcels or dry cleaning to Mr. / Ms. XX in a certain apartment building, the delivery is made by posting a note or slip in the mailbox of the resident of the corresponding room, and the resident user will then come to the front desk (concierge desk). However, even with this, if the user has a lot of mail, it often gets mixed up with the other mail and the user is unable to come to the front desk.

[0004] Incidentally, in recent buildings, apartment buildings, etc., ID keys for entering buildings or apartment buildings are not only dedicated ID keys, but also ID keys based on mobile phones, etc. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technology in which the range of access authority information for a shared gate permitted to users of an apartment building, etc. is set as an upper limit, and access authority information for guests is set online.

[0005] In this way, information on users (residents, guests, building employees, etc.) who enter using ID keys is rarely used. If managers or concierges could obtain information on users entering a building or apartment building, it would improve services for residents, especially in apartment buildings, and would also ensure security.

[0007] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2016-194210 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0008] In this way, in order to improve the services provided to users by concierges and managers in apartment buildings or condominiums, it would be desirable to be able to confirm information about users entering the building or apartment building in advance, but privacy takes priority and no system for confirmation exists.

[0009] In particular, the present invention aims to provide an entrance management system for buildings and apartment buildings that can quickly grasp information about users entering the building and respond to them in order to improve services for users entering the building or apartment building. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] In order to achieve the above object, the entrance management system for buildings and condominiums of the present invention is an entrance management system that allows users to enter an apartment building or condominium by opening a gate door with a gate opening / closing device using an ID key carried by the user, and allows services to be provided to each user at a front desk provided inside the gate of the building or condominium, The management system is equipped with a communication means that receives ID key identification information read from the user's ID key when the gate is unlocked and the user enters the building, or information about the user entering the building, from a gate opening / closing device, surveillance camera device, etc.; a storage means that stores data and various programs in which each user's information is linked to the ID key identification information; a display means that displays the information of each corresponding user based on the ID key identification information received by the communication means; and a control means that controls the communication means, storage means, and display means.The control means is characterized in that when a user unlocks the gate with the ID key and enters the building, the user's identification information is received by the receiving means, and the information corresponding to the identification information stored in the storage means is displayed by the display means.

[0011] The storage means stores service information in advance, such as information on items to be given to users in each room and messages, in association with each room information, and when a user unlocks the gate and enters the building, if there is any item or service information corresponding to the corresponding room information, the corresponding information is identified and displayed.

[0012] 3. The entrance management system for a building or an apartment building according to claim 1, wherein the service information stores a user name for each room.

[0013] An entrance management system for a building or condominium as described in any one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the communication means receives, via an appropriate network, also newly recognized ID information, and is capable of updating each user's room information and ID key identification information in the storage means.

[0015] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 7. As described above, the entrance management system 1 of the present invention is a system used at the front desk (concierge counter or management office) of a building or condominium. When entering an condominium or building, a user can basically use an ID key carried by the user to open the gate door G with the gate opening / closing device 2 and enter the building, and the entrance management system 1 makes it easy to provide services to each user at the front desk located inside the gate.

[0016] First, we will explain based on the floor plan of an apartment building shown in Figure 1. A typical apartment building is equipped with one or more gate doors G that lead to a common space such as the entrance before entering the residential area of the building. There may also be multiple gate doors G, with one on the outside and one at the inner entrance.

[0017] In the present invention, when monitoring users who open gate doors G and enter the building, it is sufficient to monitor at least one gate door G. Users entering the apartment building pass through gate doors G and enter the building, but the building is designed so that they pass in front of the post room and concierge counter before entering the residential area. At this concierge counter, they can easily receive services from the concierge or manager, such as handing over parcels and dry cleaning, confirming applications for facilities such as the pool and gym, and taking messages.

[0018] Next, the configuration of the entrance management system 1 will be described with reference to Fig. 2. This entrance management system 1 includes a communication means 4 that receives, from the gate opening / closing device 2, a surveillance camera device 3, or the like, ID key identification information read from the user's ID key or information about the user entering the building when the user unlocks the gate door G using the gate opening / closing device 2 (installed at the outer and inner entrances), a storage means 5 that stores data and various programs linking each user's information with the ID key identification information, a display means 6 that displays the corresponding information about each user based on the ID key identification information received by the communication means 4, and a control means 7 that controls the communication means 4, the storage means 5, and the display means 6. The control means 7 is configured so that, when at least a user unlocks the gate door G using the ID key and enters the building, the user's identification information is received by the communication means 4 and the information stored in the storage means 5 that corresponds to the identification information is displayed by the display means 6.

[0019] As can be seen from Figure 2, when a user holds an ID key over the intercom-type gate opening / closing device 2 at the outer gate G, the data is read and the gate can be opened. At this time, the gate opening / closing device 2 can open the gate G using the identification information of the pre-registered ID key, and if this identification information is transferred to the management office or concierge, it can be confirmed in advance which room the user will enter.

[0020] For security reasons, there may be multiple gate doors G. As mentioned above, for example, there may be a gate opening / closing device 2 at the inner entrance as shown in Figure 2. In the present invention, it is sufficient to pass through at least one gate door G, but there may be multiple gate doors G.

[0021] More specifically, the storage means 5 stores service information in advance, such as information on gifts and messages to be given to users in each room, in association with each room's information. When a user unlocks the gate door G and enters the building, if there is any gift or service information corresponding to the corresponding room information, the corresponding information is identified and displayed (see Figure 7).

[0022] As shown in FIG. 7 , the display unit 6 stores, for example, information about deliveries, cleaning deliveries, and other deliveries for the resident as a user, as well as contact information and correspondence, along with each room number and name. Therefore, when a user unlocks the gate door G, the ID key identification information is read and transmitted to the entry management system 1. The identity of the person entering the building can then be determined by referring to the corresponding data between the ID key identification information and the room number, and displayed on the display unit 6. In FIG. 7 , for example, the cleaning item for Room 204 is displayed as "Mr. Ishida entered with ID key," and the corresponding portion of the list of deliveries is flashed or highlighted (to be distinguishable from others). In addition to the room number for Room 204, in this embodiment, the name and facial image of "Mr. Ishida" are also displayed. As an example, this facial image may be photographed by the entry monitoring system 21 using a camera or may be pre-registered in the storage unit 5.

[0023] This entry monitoring system 21 basically works by using a gate opening / closing device 2 to unlock the gate using an ID key carried by the user when entering a building or apartment building, but in reality, there is a possibility of unauthorized entry due to reasons such as tailgating, so the entry monitoring system 21 monitors such unauthorized entry, and is a monitoring system that extracts unauthorized entrants or entrants who are suspected of being unauthorized entrants and stores them as photographs or videos.

[0024] The entrance monitoring system 21 is configured with a camera means 3 that takes pictures of at least the person entering the building when the gate is unlocked and opened in order to take pictures of the state of entry through the gate, a communication means 24 that receives or transfers the cause of unlocking from the gate opening / closing device 2, which is unlocked by an ID key when the gate is opened, or by an internal sensor reacting to a person leaving from the inside, or by an intercom installed on the gate and requesting unlocking from a resident inside or the management office, and a There is provided a storage means 25 for storing images of people photographed by the camera means 3 and for storing appropriate control programs, and a control means 27 for controlling the camera means 3, communication means 24, and storage means 25. When the gate door G is unlocked and opened, the control means 27 receives the cause of unlocking from the gate opening / closing device 2 via the communication means 24, and controls the camera means 3 to extract at least those people who have entered the building illegally by tailgating or who are suspected of entering the building illegally by tailgating, and store the extracted images in the storage means 25.

[0025] The storage means 25 stores beforehand images of residents and specific persons who are permitted to enter the building, and even if a resident enters illegally with a companion or is suspected of having entered illegally with a companion, if authentication is established as a resident registered beforehand, the resident will not be judged to have entered illegally regardless of the reason for unlocking.

[0026] Also, due to privacy concerns, there is a tendency to be reluctant to register residents' facial images in advance, but in today's world where various crimes occur, and considering security issues and the need to protect the lives of residents, it is considered important to register residents' facial images in advance and monitor visitors separately from others.

[0027] Furthermore, the storage means 25 is controlled so that information on people photographed by the camera means 3 as a surveillance camera device, including people who have entered the building legitimately, is transmitted to another management server 8. In particular, if a person is a resident of an apartment building, free entry and exit is guaranteed, so it goes without saying that they will not be considered as having entered the building illegally, but in order to prevent information from being leaked carelessly from the viewpoint of privacy, they are stored separately from unauthorized outside visitors.

[0028] In reality, it has been found that in addition to cases where a single person enters using only one ID key, multiple entry situations frequently occur. This will be explained in detail below. For example, as shown in Figure 3, when a person unlocks the door from outside with their own ID key and enters, there is no problem at all, and the information is transmitted to the entry management system 1 (passing through the processing flow steps 101 to 102, 103, and then step 104 in Figure 6), and the display means 6 displays "Mr. Ishida entered using his ID key," as shown in Figure 7.

[0029] Fig. 7 shows a display means 6 consisting of a display of a concierge terminal, which is configured to display information such as deliveries to users that have been temporarily stored by companies such as parcel delivery and dry cleaning, as well as messages, in association with each room information. When a user unlocks the gate door G and enters the building, if there is any deliveries or service information corresponding to the corresponding room information, the corresponding information is identified and displayed (for example, in Fig. 7, the section for "Mr. Ishida" in Room 204 of the dry cleaning service blinks, and then an image of Mr. Ishida's face is displayed as he enters, and "Mr. Ishida entered with ID key" is displayed).

[0030] The service information stores the user name of each room, so that when a user passes through the concierge counter, the concierge can ask, "Sir, it looks like your package has arrived. Have you received it?" and then check the delivery slip or ask the user to state their room number and name. For example, if the user says, "Ishida in room 204," the concierge can respond, "We have indeed received your package (cleaning)," ensuring that the delivery is completed.

[0031] On the other hand, ID keys are available in various styles, from dedicated keys to mobile phone terminals, and can be issued to guests by the apartment management office or by the user themselves. New ID information can be received and updated via an appropriate network. It may be displayed as "room key" or "guest in room."

[0032] However, in reality, there are cases where the resident forgets the ID key and has a resident inside unlock the door via the intercom. In that case, the ID key's identification information is not transmitted to the entry management system 1. In this case, a different unlocking cause is received from the gate opening / closing device 2 or the entry monitoring system 21. Information such as "unlocked by room number 204 (step 105)" or "entered by unlocking by departing person (corresponding to No in step 105)" is received. The gate opening / closing device 2 knows via the intercom whether the resident unlocked the door or the resident unlocked the door due to the departing person's exit, so it displays either one of them. In the case of the second stage in Figure 3, the process goes from step 101 in the processing flow of Figure 6 through steps 102 and 105. If there is only one person, the process moves to steps 106 and 104, where the person is notified of this fact, and the person is recognized as having entered the building legitimately, and the process can be completed without the need for facial authentication.

[0033] In the third row of Figure 3, if the answer is No in step 105, it is determined that the person was not unlocked with an ID key or by an insider using an intercom, but rather that the internal sensor detected a person exiting the gate door G from the inside, unlocked the door, and entered the building just as the person exiting from the inside. This in itself is illegal entry, known as tailgating, but if the resident's facial data is registered in advance, this will not be treated as illegal entry. In this case, the surveillance camera device 3 takes a facial image, and the authentication data is transmitted to the entry management system 1, which reports it as "Mr. / Ms. XX in room number 204, entering with a tailgating partner after the door was unlocked following the departure of a person outside" (in this case too, the process passes through steps 101 to 102 and step 105 in the processing flow of Figure 6, and then passes through step 104 if authentication is OK).

[0034] If authentication is not possible in step 107, the process moves to the bottom of Figure 3 (the fourth row), where the process moves to step 108, where it is determined that the person entered the building illegally by tailgating, and the image is recorded with the date and face image.If the process moves to step 104, the message "Unauthorized Entry, Beware" is displayed.

[0035] Processing is simple when one person enters the building, but in reality, there are many cases where multiple people enter together. In the case of the upper part of Figure 4, when multiple people enter using one ID key, if there is someone who does not have the ID key and authentication of all the people's faces cannot be completed, the process goes from step 101 in the processing flow of Figure 6 to steps 102, 103, and 107, and if authentication cannot be completed, it transitions to step 104 via step 108, and displays the message "There has been an unauthorized entry by someone other than Mr. / Ms. XX in room number 204."

[0036] Furthermore, if multiple people are asked to unlock the door from the inside using the intercom without using an ID key (interruption in Figure 4), the process flow in Figure 6 goes from step 101 to step 102, steps 105, 106, and step 107, and if authentication is not successful, it goes through step 108 and then step 104, and the message "When unlocking the door from the inside using the intercom, there was an unauthorized entry by someone other than those related to room number 204" is displayed.

[0037] Furthermore, in the lower part of Figure 4, if an internal sensor detects a person exiting from inside gate G and unlocks it, and multiple people enter the building just as the person exiting from the inside, this will be considered as a tailgating entry and will be an illegal entry, but in this case too, the surveillance camera device 3 will take a facial image, and if authentication cannot be obtained, the data will be sent to the entry management system 1, and it will be reported as "entry with a tailgating entry due to unlocking after a person leaving the building" (in this case too, the process will pass from step 101 in Figure 6 to steps 102, 107, and 108, and then transition to 104 and pass).

[0038] Also, in contrast to Figure 4, Figure 5 shows an example where multiple people are allowed to enter in the case of family members, etc., but the top part of Figure 5 shows a case where multiple people enter the building using one ID key, and if authentication is OK, the flow steps are steps 101, 102, 103, and then at step 107 authentication of all people is confirmed, and step 104 is passed, and the message "The number of people other than Mr. / Ms. XX in room number 204 have entered the building successfully" is displayed.

[0039] Furthermore, in the middle of Figure 5, if no one has an ID key and the door is unlocked from the inside using the intercom and everyone is authenticated, the flow steps are steps 101, 102, 105, and 106, and if authentication is OK in step 107, it transitions to step 104, and the message "Room number 204, successfully entered after being unlocked from the inside using the intercom" is displayed.

[0040] Furthermore, in the lower part of Figure 5, if multiple people enter the building at the same time as a person exiting from the inside, and if facial recognition is successful, the flow steps are steps 101, 102, 105, and 107, and if authentication is successful, the flow transitions to step 104, where the message "Entry is permitted by unlocking after person outside has left, normal entry" is displayed.

[0041] In this way, by registering the facial images of residents in advance using facial recognition, data on tailgating as a form of unauthorized entry can be reliably accumulated, and management can be dramatically improved.

[0042] According to the present invention, the management office or concierge of an apartment building can accurately grasp information about users entering through the gate door, and not only can they provide high-quality service to users even if they are not an expert, but the system can also be used as an extremely useful system in terms of security.
