[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-16953 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Residents of apartment buildings typically desire high security in the buildings in which they live. However, the security system disclosed in Patent Document 1 only handles images from inside elevators, and these images are simply displayed on a monitoring device. Therefore, it cannot be said that the technology of the security system disclosed in Patent Document 1 fully meets the expectations of residents. Therefore, there is a need for the development of technology that allows residents of apartment buildings to realize that the buildings they live in are highly secure and can improve their sense of security.

[0005] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide technology that allows residents of apartment buildings to realize that the building they live in has high security, thereby improving the residents' sense of security. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the apartment building management device of the present invention is an apartment building management device that manages an apartment building in which a photography device, an intercom that allows visitors to call the destination, and authentication device that can authenticate the visitor are installed in the entrance space of the building. The apartment building management device is equipped with a visitor determination unit. The visitor determination unit analyzes image data of the visitor photographed by the photography device and can allow the visitor to enter the building based on the analysis results and whether the person the visitor is visiting has performed an entry permission operation to the building. Furthermore, if the visitor determination unit allows the visitor to enter, the visitor determination unit notifies the person the visitor is visiting of information about the visitor.

[0007] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an apartment building management method carried out by the apartment building management device of the present invention. The apartment building management device analyzes image data of a visitor photographed by a photographing device, and determines whether or not to permit the visitor to enter the building based on the analysis results and whether or not the visitor's guest has performed any operation to permit entry into the building. If the visitor's entry is permitted, the apartment building management device notifies the guest of information regarding the visitor. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the present invention having the above configuration, residents of an apartment building can realize that the building in which they live is highly secure, thereby improving the sense of security of the residents. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0038] The manager operates the first information processing terminal 8 to register various information for identifying a contractor (e.g., a construction company, an equipment inspector, a delivery company, etc.) who is scheduled to visit, in the apartment building management device 1. Specifically, the manager registers various information such as the company name and logo of the contractor who is scheduled to visit, their destination, the details of the visit, the work time, and the name of the worker who is scheduled to visit. Identification information (an identification code) is distributed to the contractor whose visit has been registered by the manager.

[0039] Furthermore, when a person other than a resident (such as a contractor) is permitted to enter the building 10, the apartment complex management device 1 notifies the first information processing terminal 8 of various information relating to the person other than a resident (such as a contractor) entering or leaving the building 10. Specifically, the apartment complex management device 1 notifies the first information processing terminal 8 of various information such as the company name and logo of the person (such as a contractor), a facial image of the visitor, the visitor's name, destination, details of the visit, and entry and exit times, and the notified content is displayed on the display unit of the first information processing terminal 8.

[0040] The resident of each room 4 operates the second information processing terminal 9 to register, for example, various pieces of information for identifying guests (visitors) who are scheduled to visit, in the apartment building management device 1. Specifically, the resident registers various pieces of information (visitor information) such as the name, destination, details of the visit, and time of the visit of the scheduled visitor. Identification information (identification code) is distributed to the visitor whose scheduled visit has been registered by the resident.

[0041] Furthermore, when a person other than a resident (such as a contractor or visitor) is permitted to enter the building 10, the apartment complex management device 1 notifies the second information processing terminal 9 of various information (visitor information) regarding the person other than a resident (such as a contractor or visitor) entering or leaving the building 10. At this time, the notified content (visitor information) is displayed on the display unit of the second information processing terminal 9. However, if the visitor is a contractor or the like, various information such as the company name and logo, the visitor's facial image, destination, details of the visit, and entry and exit times is notified from the apartment complex management device 1 to the second information processing terminal 9. On the other hand, if the visitor is a guest, various information such as the visitor's facial image, the visitor's name, destination, details of the visit, and visit time is notified from the apartment complex management device 1 to the second information processing terminal 9 of the resident who is the visitor's destination.

[0042] The facial image of the visitor (vendor or guest) notified and displayed by the apartment building management device 1 to the first information processing terminal 8 and / or the second information processing terminal 9 is a facial image taken by the entrance intercom camera 202 at the time of the visit.

[0043] Hereinafter, various pieces of information for identifying scheduled visitors that are pre-registered in the apartment building management device 1 by the manager and residents will be referred to as "scheduled visitor information." Also, various pieces of information about visitors that are notified to the manager's first information processing terminal 8 and / or the resident's second information processing terminal 9 will be referred to as "visitor information." In this embodiment, as described above, the "visitor information" is information that adds a facial image of the visitor to the "scheduled visitor information."

[0044] In this embodiment, a configuration is considered in which the WEB (World Wide Web) of the apartment building management system 100 is made public on the Internet by the apartment building management device 1. The above-mentioned various information is exchanged between the first information processing terminal 8, the second information processing terminal 9, and the apartment building management device 1 via the WEB browser.

[0045] For example, when a manager registers information about a contractor who is scheduled to visit, the manager inputs various necessary information according to a predetermined input format in a web browser displayed on the display of the first information processing terminal 8. Also, when a resident registers information about a visitor who is scheduled to visit, the manager inputs various necessary information according to a predetermined input format in a web browser displayed on the display of the second information processing terminal 9. Furthermore, for example, visitor information about people other than residents (contractors, visitors, etc.) who enter or leave the building 10 is notified to the first information processing terminal 8 and / or the second information processing terminal 9 by displaying the information on a web browser and having the manager and / or resident view it.

[0046] The exchange of various information between the first information processing terminal 8, the second information processing terminal 9, and the apartment building management device 1 is not limited to the above example. For example, the exchange may be performed using communication tools such as email, SMS (Short Message Service), LINE (registered trademark), etc.

Then, based on the acquired various data, the person determination unit 106 determines the attributes (e.g., classification of contractor, visitor, suspicious person, etc.) of persons other than residents entering and leaving the building 10. Note that in this embodiment, the attributes of persons other than residents entering and leaving the building 10 are classified into one of category A, which belongs to contractors (e.g., construction workers, equipment inspectors, delivery companies, etc.), category B, which belongs to visitors, and category C, which belongs to visitors (suspicious persons) who do not belong to category A or category B.

[0054] Specifically, the person determination unit 106 first analyzes the video of the visitor captured by the entrance intercom camera 202. If the visitor operates the entrance authentication device 203, the person determination unit 106 also acquires the authentication result. Then, based on the results of the video analysis of the visitor and the authentication result, the person determination unit 106 determines the visitor's attribute as one of category A (business person), category B (visitor), and category C (non-trustee). Note that in this embodiment, based on the results of the video analysis and the authentication result, if there is corresponding visitor information in the expected visitor information and past visitor information stored in the authentication information recording unit 102, the visitor's attribute is determined to be either category A or category B. On the other hand, in all other cases, the visitor's attribute is determined to be category C.

[0055] Furthermore, the person determination unit 106 controls the unlocking of the entrance facility at the entrance 2 and the notification of visitor information according to the determination result of the visitor attribute category. Note that specific aspects of the control of unlocking the entrance facility at the entrance 2 and the control of notification of visitor information performed by the person determination unit 106 will be described in detail later.

The image data captured by the car in-camera 503 and transmitted from the elevator control device 501 to the elevator communication unit 113 via the elevator connection unit 114 is stored (stored) in the video / image recording unit 103.

[0063] [Operational aspects of unlocking entrance facilities and notifying visitor information by the person determination unit] In this embodiment, the person determination unit 106 controls unlocking of the entrance facility of the entrance 2 and notification of visitor information, as follows, depending on the determination result of the visitor attribute classification.

[0064] (1) Category A For example, if the visitor's attribute is category A (business person) and the visitor is scheduled to visit, the person determination unit 106 unlocks (opens) the entrance facility at the entrance 2 and controls the display of visitor information on signage and monitors within the building 10. In addition, at this time, the person determination unit 106 controls so that the manager and / or resident can view the visitor information on a web browser.

[0065] Furthermore, for example, if the visitor's attribute is category A (business person) and the visitor is not scheduled to visit, the person determination unit 106 first notifies the visitor information to the first information processing terminal 8 of the manager and the first monitoring center device 6 of the management company. Then, if permission for the visit (entry) is granted from the first information processing terminal 8 of the manager and / or the first monitoring center device 6 of the management company, the person determination unit 106 unlocks (opens) the entrance facility at the entrance 2 and controls the display of visitor information on signage and monitors within the building 10. At this time, the person determination unit 106 also controls so that the visitor information can be viewed by the manager and / or residents on a web browser.

[0066] However, if there is no permission for the visit from the manager's first information processing terminal 8 or the management company's first monitoring center device 6 (denial of permission or timeout), the person determination unit 106 transmits information to the visitor instructing them to call the destination using the entrance intercom 204. Specifically, the person determination unit 106 controls the entrance intercom 204 and the entrance monitor 201 to display a message such as "Please call using the intercom" on the entrance monitor 201, or to output the message aloud from a speaker (not shown) attached to the entrance intercom 204.

[0067] If the visitor's call operation detects an operation to unlock (open) the entrance equipment at entrance 2 by the resident of the destination, the person determination unit 106 unlocks the entrance equipment at entrance 2 and controls the display of visitor information on signage and monitors within the building 10. At this time, the person determination unit 106 also controls the building so that the manager and / or resident can view the visitor information on a web browser. On the other hand, if the visitor's call operation is not accompanied by an operation to unlock (open) the entrance equipment at entrance 2 by the resident of the destination (disapproval or timeout), the person determination unit 106 transmits information to the visitor that there is no response from the destination. Specifically, the person determination unit 106 displays a message such as "No response" on the entrance monitor 201 or outputs the message aloud from a speaker (not shown) attached to the entrance intercom 204.

[0068] (2) Category B For example, if the visitor's attribute is category B (visitor), regardless of whether the visitor has plans to visit or not, the person determination unit 106 sends information to the visitor instructing them to call the destination on the entrance intercom 204 (for example, the words "Please call on the intercom").

[0069] If the operation to unlock (open) the entrance equipment of entrance 2 by the resident of the destination in response to the visitor's call operation is detected, the person determination unit 106 unlocks the entrance equipment of entrance 2 and controls the resident so that the visitor information can be viewed on a web browser. On the other hand, if the operation to unlock (open) the entrance equipment of entrance 2 by the resident of the destination in response to the visitor's call operation is not performed (disallowance or timeout), the person determination unit 106 transmits information to the visitor that there is no response from the destination (for example, the message "no response").

[0070] (3) Category C For example, if the visitor's attribute is category C (suspicious person), the person determination unit 106 sends instruction information (e.g., the words "Please call using the intercom") to the visitor to prompt them to call the person they are visiting (a resident or manager) on the entrance intercom 204.

[0071] If an operation to unlock (open) the entrance equipment of entrance 2 by the resident or manager of the destination is detected in response to the visitor's call operation, the person determination unit 106 unlocks the entrance equipment of entrance 2. At this time, the person determination unit 106 also controls the resident or manager of the destination so that the visitor information can be viewed on a web browser. On the other hand, if the resident or manager of the destination does not unlock (open) the entrance equipment of entrance 2 in response to the visitor's call operation (disapproval or timeout), the person determination unit 106 transmits information to the visitor that there is no response from the destination (for example, the message "no response").

[0072] In this embodiment, the visitor information displayed on the various information display devices (signage, monitors, etc.) installed in the building 10 and on the display units of the information processing terminals of the building manager and residents includes a facial image of the visitor, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, from the perspective of privacy protection, a configuration may be adopted in which the facial image of the visitor is not displayed. In this case, whether or not to display the facial image of the visitor may be selected by the building manager if the visitor is a contractor, or by the resident if the visitor is a guest. Furthermore, from the perspectives of both privacy protection and security, for example, the visitor information notified to the building manager or management company may include the facial image of the visitor, but the visitor information displayed on the various information display devices (signage, monitors, etc.) and notified to the residents may not include the facial image of the visitor.

[0073] [Hardware configuration of apartment building management device, first information processing terminal, and second information processing terminal] In the apartment building management system 100 of this embodiment, as described above, the apartment building management device 1, the manager's first information processing terminal 8, and the resident's second information processing terminal 9 can be configured as an arithmetic processing device such as a computer device. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of a computer device 50 that can be used as the apartment building management device 1, the first information processing terminal 8, and the second information processing terminal 9.

[0074] The computer device 50 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 51, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 52, and a RAM (Random Access Memory) 53, all connected to a bus line 58. The computer device 50 also includes a network I / F (Interface) 54, an operation unit 55, a display unit 56, and a non-volatile storage 57, all connected to the bus line 58. Although not shown in Fig. 2, the computer device 50 also includes various interfaces used when executing input / output processing of various data (various information) between the computer device 50 and external devices.

[0075] The CPU 51 reads out from the ROM 52 to the RAM 53 software program code for realizing the various processing functions of the apartment building management device 1, the first information processing terminal 8, and the second information processing terminal 9, and executes the program code. At this time, variables and parameters generated during the calculation process are also temporarily written to the RAM 53.

[0076] The network I / F 54 is configured by, for example, a network interface card (NIC) or the like, and transmits and receives various data to and from each device connected via wireless communication.

[0077] The operation unit 55 is configured with, for example, keys and buttons, and generates an operation signal according to the operation content input by the operator and supplies the operation signal to the CPU 51. The display unit 56 is configured with, for example, a liquid crystal panel, and displays characters, images, and the like on the screen. The display unit 56 may also be configured with a touch panel, in which case the display unit 56 and the operation unit 55 are configured integrally.

[0078] Nonvolatile storage 57 can be configured, for example, with a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), a flexible disk, an optical disk, a magneto-optical disk, a CD-ROM, a CD-R, a magnetic tape, or a nonvolatile memory. Nonvolatile storage 57 stores an operating system (OS) and various parameters, as well as programs for causing computer device 50 to function as apartment building management device 1, first information processing terminal 8, and second information processing terminal 9. Note that information (data) such as programs, tables, and files that realize the functions of apartment building management device 1, first information processing terminal 8, and second information processing terminal 9 may be stored in a recording medium other than ROM 52 or nonvolatile storage 57, such as an IC card, SD card, or DVD.

[0079] [Contents of apartment complex management process] Next, the apartment building management processing performed by the apartment building management device 1 will be described with reference to the drawings (flowcharts). Fig. 3 is a flowchart showing the specific steps of the apartment building management processing performed by the person determination unit 106 of the apartment building management device 1. The apartment building management processing by the person determination unit 106 described below is executed on software by a CPU (CPU 51 in Fig. 2) included in the apartment building management device 1. The apartment building management processing shown in Fig. 3 is constantly and repeatedly executed.

[0080] First, the person determination unit 106 determines whether or not there is a visitor (S1). In this process, the person determination unit 106 acquires, for example, current video data acquired from the entrance intercom camera 202. Furthermore, if a visitor operates the entrance authentication device 203, the person determination unit 106 acquires the authentication result from the entrance authentication device 203. Then, the person determination unit 106 analyzes the video captured by the entrance intercom camera 202, the authentication result from the entrance authentication device 203, and the like, to determine whether or not there is a visitor at the entrance 2.

[0081] Specifically, when the current video acquired from the entrance intercom camera 202 is analyzed and it is determined that a person is captured, the person determination unit 106 determines that there is a visitor (Yes determination). However, existing image analysis (recognition) technology can be applied to this video analysis process. Furthermore, when the identification information (identification code) distributed to the visitor in advance is authenticated by the entrance authentication device 203, the person determination unit 106 determines that there is a visitor (Yes determination). In cases other than the above, the person determination unit 106 determines that there is no visitor (No determination).

[0082] In the process of S1, if the person determination unit 106 determines that there is no visitor (if the determination in S1 is No), the person determination unit 106 repeats the determination process of S1.

[0083] On the other hand, if the person determination unit 106 determines in the process of S1 that there is a visitor (if S1 is determined as Yes), the person determination unit 106 performs an analysis process of the visitor (S2). In this process, the person determination unit 106 identifies the visitor based on information such as the result of an analysis process of the visitor's facial image captured by the entrance intercom camera 202 and the authentication result of the entrance authentication device 203. Specifically, the person determination unit 106 determines (authenticates) whether the visitor is a scheduled visitor or whether the visitor is a visitor who has been registered in the past. Hereinafter, the result of the analysis process of S2 will be referred to as "authentication information."

[0084] Next, the person determination unit 106 checks whether visitor information or expected visitor information corresponding to the visitor's authentication information obtained in the analysis process of S2 is stored (memorized) in the authentication information recording unit 102 (S3). In this process, the person determination unit 106 checks whether information corresponding to the visitor's authentication information obtained in the analysis process of S2 is included in an information group (visitor information group) consisting of expected visitor information and visitor information of previously registered visitors stored (memorized) in the authentication information recording unit 102. Note that, hereinafter, for ease of explanation, the expected visitor information stored (memorized) in the authentication information recording unit 102 and visitor information of previously registered visitors will be collectively referred to as "visit information."

[0085] Next, the person determination unit 106 determines whether or not visit information corresponding to the visitor's authentication information is stored in the authentication information recording unit 102 (S4). This determination process is performed based on the result of the confirmation process in S3.

[0086] In the process of S4, if the person determination unit 106 determines that there is no visit information corresponding to the visitor's authentication information in the authentication information recording unit 102 (if S4 is determined to be No), the person determination unit 106 performs the process of S16, which will be described later. In this case, the person determination unit 106 determines that the visitor's category is category C (suspicious person).

[0087] On the other hand, in the process of S4, if the person determination unit 106 determines that the authentication information recording unit 102 contains visit information corresponding to the visitor's authentication information (if S4 is a Yes determination), the person determination unit 106 determines whether the visitor's district is category A (business) (S5). In this process, the person determination unit 106 references the visit information corresponding to the visitor's authentication information and determines whether the visit information is for category A (business). If the visit information corresponding to the visitor's authentication information contains, for example, information about a company name and logo, the person determination unit 106 determines that the visitor's district is category A (business) (Yes determination). On the other hand, if the visit information corresponding to the visitor's authentication information does not contain, for example, information about a company name and logo and the visit is not for construction, equipment inspection, home delivery, or the like, the person determination unit 106 determines that the visitor's district is category B (guest) (No determination).

[0088] In the processing of S5, if the person determination unit 106 determines that the visitor's district is not category A (business) (if S5 is judged as No), that is, if the visitor's category is category B (guest), the person determination unit 106 performs the processing of S14 described below.

[0089] On the other hand, if the person determination unit 106 determines in the process of S5 that the visitor's ward is section A (business) (if S5 is a Yes determination), the person determination unit 106 determines whether or not the visitor (business) has a planned visit (S6). In this process, the person determination unit 106 refers to the authentication information recording unit 102 and determines whether or not the visit information of the visitor (business) is registered in the authentication information recording unit 102 as planned visitor information. If the visit information of the visitor (business) is registered as planned visitor information, the person determination unit 106 determines that the visitor (business) has a planned visit (Yes determination). On the other hand, if the visit information of the visitor (business) is not registered as planned visitor information (if the visitor information is previously registered), the person determination unit 106 determines that the visitor (business) does not have a planned visit (No determination).

[0090] In the process of S6, if the person determination unit 106 determines that a visitor (contractor) is scheduled to visit (if S6 returns Yes), the person determination unit 106 performs a process to unlock the entrance facility (S7). This process unlocks (opens) the front door of entrance 2 (permitting the visitor to enter), allowing the visitor (contractor) to enter the building 10.

[0091] Next, the person determination unit 106 notifies the visitor information (including a facial image) of the visitor (vendor) to information display equipment (signage, monitor) within the building 10, the manager's first information processing terminal 8, and / or the resident's second information processing terminal 9 (S8).

[0092] 3, in the present embodiment, the process of S8 can be executed not only when the determination in S6 is Yes, but also when the determination in S6, which will be described later, is No. When the process of S8 is performed when the determination in S6 is Yes, the person determination unit 106 notifies the information display device in the building 10, the first information processing terminal 8 of the manager, and / or the second information processing terminal 9 of the resident of the visitor information, which is information about the visitor (contractor) that has been scheduled to visit the visitor and a facial image taken at the time of the visit. On the other hand, when the process of S8 is performed when the determination in S6 is No, the person determination unit 106 notifies the information display device in the building 10, the first information processing terminal 8 of the manager, and / or the second information processing terminal 9 of the resident of the visitor information that was previously registered about the visitor (contractor). At this time, the notified facial image of the visitor (contractor) may be a registered facial image or a facial image taken at the time of the visit.

[0093] The processing of S8 causes the visitor information (including a facial image) of the visitor (contractor) to be displayed on information display equipment (signage, monitor) within the building 10. This processing also enables the manager and / or residents to view the visitor information of the visitor (contractor) via the web browser of the apartment building management system 100 displayed on the display unit of their own information processing terminal. After processing of S8, the person determination unit 106 terminates the apartment building management processing.

[0094] In the process of S8, the destination of notification of the visitor information may be changed depending on the type of visitor (contractor) (for example, a construction worker, an equipment inspector, a delivery company, etc.). For example, depending on the type of visitor (contractor), the destination of notification of the visitor information may be set to the information display equipment (signage, monitor) in the building 10 and the first information processing terminal 8 of the manager, and the visitor information may not be notified to the second information processing terminal 9 of the resident.

[0095] Returning to the explanation of the processing of S6 again, if the person determination unit 106 determines in the processing of S6 that a visitor (vendor) is not scheduled to visit (if S6 returns No), the person determination unit 106 notifies the first information processing terminal 8 of the manager and the first monitoring center device 6 of the management company of the visitor information (S9). Thereafter, the person determination unit 106 waits for a reply from the first information processing terminal 8 and / or the first monitoring center device 6 in response to the notification, permitting the visit.

[0096] Next, the person determination unit 106 determines whether or not there is a reply from the first information processing terminal 8 and / or the first monitoring center device 6 permitting the visit (S10). In this process, if there is a reply from the first information processing terminal 8 and / or the first monitoring center device 6 permitting the visit, the person determination unit 106 determines the result of the determination in S10 as Yes. On the other hand, if there is a reply from the first information processing terminal 8 and / or the first monitoring center device 6 denying the visit, or if the waiting time exceeds the timeout time, the person determination unit 106 determines the result of the determination in S10 as No.

[0097] In the process of S10, if the person determination unit 106 determines that there is a reply from the first information processing terminal 8 and / or the first monitoring center device 6 permitting a visit (if S10 is determined as Yes), the person determination unit 106 performs the processes of S7 and S8 described above (processing to disable the entrance facility and processing to notify visitor information). After processing S8, the person determination unit 106 ends the apartment building management process.

[0098] On the other hand, if the person determination unit 106 determines in the process of S10 that there is no reply from the first information processing terminal 8 and / or the first monitoring center device 6 permitting the visit (if S10 is determined as No), the person determination unit 106 controls the entrance facility to perform a call origination process (S11). In this process, the person determination unit 106 controls the entrance intercom 204 and the entrance monitor 201 to display a message such as "Please call via the intercom" on the entrance monitor 201 and output the message aloud from a speaker (not shown) attached to the entrance intercom 204. Thereafter, the person determination unit 106 waits for the visitor (contractor) to call the destination and for the person at the destination (resident or manager) to unlock the entrance facility (permit entry).

[0099] Next, the person determination unit 106 determines whether or not the called person (resident or manager) has unlocked the entrance facility (S12). In this process, if an entrance facility unlocking operation signal by the called person (resident or manager) is detected, the person determination unit 106 determines the result of S12 as Yes. On the other hand, if the waiting time for the called person (resident or manager) to unlock the entrance facility exceeds the timeout period, the person determination unit 106 determines the result of S12 as No.

[0100] In the process of S12, if the person determination unit 106 determines that the called person (resident or manager) has unlocked the entrance facility (if S12 is judged as Yes), the person determination unit 106 performs the processes of S7 and S8 (unlocking the entrance facility and notifying the visitor information) described above. After the process of S8, the person determination unit 106 ends the apartment building management process.

[0101] In the process of S12, if the person determination unit 106 determines that the called person (resident or caretaker) has not unlocked the entrance equipment (if S12 is determined to be No), the person determination unit 106 controls the entrance equipment to perform a no-response call processing (S13). In this processing, the person determination unit 106 controls the entrance intercom 204 and the entrance monitor 201 to display information to the visitor (contractor) that there has been no response from the destination (for example, a message such as "No response") on the entrance monitor 201, and outputs the audio of the information from a speaker (not shown) attached to the entrance intercom 204. Then, after the process of S13, the person determination unit 106 ends the apartment building management processing.

[0102] Returning to the explanation of the processing at S5, if the person determination unit 106 determines in the processing at S5 that the visitor's ward is not category A (business operator) (if S5 is a No determination), that is, if the person determination unit 106 determines that the visitor's ward is category B (guest), the person determination unit 106 determines whether or not the visitor (guest) has a planned visit (S14). In this processing, the person determination unit 106 refers to the authentication information recording unit 102 and determines whether or not the visit information of the visitor (guest) is registered in the authentication information recording unit 102 as planned visitor information. Then, if the visit information of the visitor (guest) is registered as planned visitor information, the person determination unit 106 determines that the visitor (guest) has a planned visit (Yes determination). On the other hand, if the visitor's (guest's) visit information is not registered as planned visitor information (if it is visitor information registered in the past), the person determination unit 106 determines that the visitor (guest) has no planned visit (No determination).

[0103] In the process of S14, if the person determination unit 106 determines that no visitor (guest) is scheduled to visit (if the determination in S14 is No), the person determination unit 106 performs the process of S16, which will be described later.

[0104] On the other hand, if the person determination unit 106 determines in the process of S14 that a visitor (guest) is scheduled to visit (if S14 returns a Yes determination), the person determination unit 106 notifies the second information processing terminal 9 of the resident of the destination of the visit of the visitor's visitor information (S15). In this process, the person determination unit 106 notifies the second information processing terminal 9 of the resident of the destination of the visit of information that adds a facial image taken at the time of the visit to the scheduled visitor information of the visitor (guest). This process enables the resident of the destination of the visit to view the visitor information of the visitor (guest) via the web browser of the apartment complex management system 100 displayed on the display unit of their own second information processing terminal 9. Note that this notification is performed to allow the resident of the destination of the visit to prepare for the arrival of the visitor, and therefore the notification process of S15 may be omitted.

[0105] After the process of S15, or if the determination result of S4 or S14 is No, the person determination unit 106 controls the entrance facility to perform a call process in the same manner as the process of S11 described above (S16). Thereafter, the person determination unit 106 waits for a call operation by a visitor (visitor (category B) or suspicious person (category C)) to the destination, and for the person at the destination (resident or manager) to unlock the entrance facility.

[0106] Next, the person determination unit 106 determines whether or not the called person (resident) has operated to unlock the entrance facility (S17). In this process, if an entrance facility unlocking operation signal by the called person (resident) is detected, the person determination unit 106 determines the result of S17 as Yes. On the other hand, if the waiting time for the called person (resident) to operate to unlock the entrance facility exceeds the timeout time, the person determination unit 106 determines the result of S17 as No.

[0107] In the process of S17, if the person determination unit 106 determines that the called person (resident) has not performed the entrance facility unlocking operation (if S17 is determined to be No), the person determination unit 106 performs the process of S13 (no-response call process) described above. After the process of S13, the person determination unit 106 ends the apartment building management process.

[0108] On the other hand, in the process of S17, if the person determination unit 106 determines that the called person (resident) has unlocked the entrance facility (if S17 is determined to be Yes), the person determination unit 106 performs the process of unlocking the entrance facility in the same manner as the process of S7 described above (S18). This process unlocks (opens) the front door of entrance 2, allowing the visitor to enter the building 10. In this case, not only visitors who are category B visitors, but also visitors who are determined to be category C (suspicious persons) can enter the building 10.

[0109] Next, the person determination unit 106 notifies the resident's second information processing terminal 9 of the visitor information (S19). This process enables the resident to view the visitor information of the visitor via the web browser of the apartment building management system 100 displayed on the display unit of his / her second information processing terminal 9.

[0110] However, when the process of S19 is performed when the determination result of S14 is Yes, the person determination unit 106 notifies the second information processing terminal 9 of the resident of the destination of the visit of information that is the expected visitor information of the visitor (guest) plus a facial image taken at the time of the visit, as visitor information. Also, when the process of S19 is performed when the determination result of S14 is No, the person determination unit 106 notifies the second information processing terminal 9 of the resident of the destination of the visit of previously registered visitor information of the visitor (guest). At this time, the notified facial image of the visitor (guest) may be a registered facial image or a facial image taken at the time of the current visit. Furthermore, when the process of S19 is performed when the determination result of S4 is No (the visitor's category is Category C (suspicious person)), the person determination unit 106 notifies the second information processing terminal 9 of the resident of the destination of the visit of the authentication information (including the facial image) of the visitor obtained by the analysis process of S2 as visitor information. After the process of S19, the person determination unit 106 ends the apartment building management process.

[0111] Although a flowchart and detailed description are omitted, if a tailgating visitor enters building 10, the person determination unit 106 detects the visitor based on image data captured by various cameras installed in building 10 (interior building camera 302, room intercom camera 402, landing camera 505, etc.) and determines that the visitor is a suspicious person (category C). If the person determination unit 106 detects a suspicious person (category C) in building 10, it notifies the first information processing terminal 8 of the manager, the second information processing terminal 9 of the resident, the first monitoring center device 6 of the management company, and the second monitoring center device 7 of the security company of the authentication information (including a facial image, etc.) of the suspicious person. However, if the person determination unit 106 analyzes the image and determines that the tailgating visitor enters building 10 is, for example, a business operator in category A or a visitor in category B, the visitor may be registered as a business operator in category A or a visitor in category B in the future, according to settings made by the manager or resident.

[0112] [Various effects] As described above, in this embodiment, visitor information of people who have been permitted to enter the building 10 can be displayed on the resident's second information processing terminal 9. Therefore, in this embodiment, the residents of the apartment building can realize that the security of the building 10 in which they live is high, and the residents' sense of security can be improved.

[0113] In this embodiment, visitor information about people who have been permitted to enter the building 10 can also be displayed on information display equipment (signage, monitors) within the building 10, further increasing residents' sense of security and a sense of security. Furthermore, in this embodiment, visitors are classified into contractors (category A), guests (category B), and suspicious persons (category C), and visitor information corresponding to each category can be displayed on information display equipment (signage, monitors) within the building 10 and / or the residents' second information processing terminals 9. Therefore, residents of the apartment building can be notified not only of the presence or absence of a visitor but also of the visitor's identity, further increasing residents' sense of security and a sense of security.

[0114] In this embodiment, the destination of visitor information notification can be appropriately set according to the attributes (classification) of the visitor. Therefore, for example, it is possible to reduce notification of unnecessary information to residents. Furthermore, in a configuration such as this embodiment, where visitor information is notified only to residents when the visitor is a guest, the privacy of the residents can be protected. Furthermore, in this embodiment, for example, the visitor information notified to the manager can include a facial image of the visitor, while the visitor information displayed on various information display equipment (signage, monitors, etc.) and the visitor information notified to residents can not include a facial image of the visitor. In this case, the privacy of the visitor can be protected.

[0115] In this embodiment, the authentication information recording unit 102 also stores (registers) visitor information of people who have visited in the past, so even if a person has no plans to visit, they can enter the building 10 if they have been registered in the past. Furthermore, in this embodiment, even if a visitor is classified as Category C (suspicious person), they can enter the building 10 if the person at the destination (a resident or a manager) unlocks the entrance facility. Therefore, even if a person has no plans to visit, they can visit with peace of mind.

[0116] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the visitor information is notified to a second information processing terminal 9 (for example, a smartphone, tablet, personal computer, etc.) owned by the resident. This eliminates the need for the resident to prepare a separate information processing terminal for the management system of the building 10, making it easy to introduce the apartment building management device 1 into the building 10.

[0117] [Various variations] Although the apartment building management device 1 and the apartment building management method according to one embodiment of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these. For example, the following various modifications are possible.

[0118] In the above-described embodiment, the various functional units included in the apartment building management device 1 are configured as software, but the present invention is not limited to this, and some or all of the various functional units may be configured as hardware.

[0119] Furthermore, the above-described embodiment has described the configuration of the device in detail and specifically to clearly explain the present invention, and is not necessarily limited to an embodiment having all of the described configurations. Furthermore, the position, size, shape, range, etc. of each component shown in the drawings, etc. may not represent the actual position, size, shape, range, etc., in order to facilitate understanding of the invention. Therefore, the present invention is not necessarily limited to the position, size, shape, range, etc., disclosed in the drawings, etc. Furthermore, the present invention may have various other applications and modifications without departing from the gist of the present invention as set forth in the claims.
