[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2012-69022 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] As described above, in recent years, there has been a demand for a system that prevents people from becoming overcrowded in each section, for the purpose of infection prevention measures, etc. For example, by using a camera to monitor the condition of each section, it is possible to monitor whether or not there is overcrowding in each section.

[0005] However, because cameras have blind spots, it is necessary to install multiple cameras in one area to prevent blind spots. In this way, when multiple cameras are installed in one area, the number of cameras increases, which causes a problem of increased costs for configuring the entrance restriction system.

[0006] In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide an entrance restriction system and an entrance restriction method that can restrict people from entering an overcrowded area at low cost. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a block diagram for explaining an entrance control system according to an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the entrance control system 1 according to the embodiment includes a plurality of floor sensors 11a, 11b, and 11c, a number of people calculation unit 12, an overcrowding state determination unit 13, and an entrance control unit 14.

[0012] Fig. 2 is a diagram for explaining an installation example of the entrance restriction system according to the embodiment. As shown in Fig. 2, the entrance restriction system according to the embodiment is a system that is installed in a plurality of sections 20a to 20c and restricts people from entering an overcrowded section among the plurality of sections 20a to 20c.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 2, doors 21a, 21b, and 21c are provided at the entrances of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c, respectively. In addition, floor sensors 11a, 11b, and 11c are provided at the entrances of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c, respectively. When a person enters each of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c, the person who enters each of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c passes over the respective floor sensors 11a, 11b, and 11c to enter each of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c. Similarly, when a person exits each of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c, the person who exits each of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c passes over the respective floor sensors 11a, 11b, and 11c to exit each of the sections.

[0014] The floor sensors 11a, 11b, and 11c are configured to detect the feet of a person passing through the entrances and exits of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c. In this specification, the floor sensors 11a, 11b, and 11c are also collectively referred to as the floor sensor 11.

[0015] The floor sensor 11 can be configured, for example, using a sensor panel in which a plurality of detection cells for detecting a load are arranged in a matrix in the row and column directions. Such a sensor panel is disclosed in JP 2019-060622 A. In addition, the floor sensor 11 may be a pressure-sensitive sheet using a piezoelectric element or a capacitance sensor using a capacitance detection element.

[0016] FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining an example of detection by a floor sensor. In this embodiment, the floor sensor 11 is configured to be capable of detecting the moving direction of a person who has passed the floor sensor 11. As shown in FIG. 3, when determining the moving direction of a person using the floor sensor 11, data of two feet whose distance from each other is within a predetermined range is grouped, and the moving direction of the person can be determined by continuously tracking the feet of the grouped people. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, since the grouped foot data 31_1 and the grouped foot data 31_2 move in the direction of entry over time, it can be determined that the people corresponding to the foot data 31_1 and 31_2 are moving in the direction of entry. On the other hand, the grouped foot data 32_1 and the grouped foot data 32_2 move in the direction of exit over time, it can be determined that the people corresponding to the foot data 32_1 and 32_2 are moving in the direction of exit.

[0017] In this embodiment, the direction of movement of the person may be obtained by using the direction of movement of the center of gravity of the person's feet when the floor sensor 11 detects the person's feet. In other words, when a person walks, the person's feet touch the floor in the order of heel to toe, and the direction of movement of the center of gravity of the feet at this time may be detected by the floor sensor 11 to obtain the direction of movement of the person. Information on the people's feet detected by each of the floor sensors 11a, 11b, and 11c is supplied to the number of people calculation unit 12.

[0018] The number of people calculation unit 12 shown in FIG. 1 calculates the number of people staying in each of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c, using information about people's feet detected by the floor sensors 11a, 11b, and 11c.

[0019] For example, if the feet of a person detected by floor sensor 11 in section 20a are moving over time in the direction of entry, the number of people calculation unit 12 determines that a person has entered section 20a, and adds 1 to the number of people staying in section 20a. On the other hand, if the feet of a person detected by floor sensor 11 in section 20a are moving over time in the direction of exit, the number of people calculation unit 12 determines that a person has exited section 20a, and subtracts 1 from the number of people staying in section 20a.

[0020] The number of people calculation unit 12 can calculate the number of people (number of people staying) staying in each of the sections 20a, 20b, 20c by using information about the people's feet detected by each of the floor sensors 11a, 11b, 11c in this manner.

[0021] The overcrowded state determination unit 13 determines whether each of the sections 20a, 20b, 20c is overcrowded or not based on the number of people staying in each of the sections 20a, 20b, 20c (number of visitors) calculated by the number of people calculation unit 12. For example, when the number of people staying in each of the sections 20a, 20b, 20c is equal to or greater than a threshold value for the number of visitors set for each of the sections 20a, 20b, 20c, the overcrowded state determination unit 13 may determine that the section in which the number of people staying in the section exceeds the threshold value is overcrowded.

[0022] The threshold value of the number of visitors may be set based on the size of each of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c. The size of each of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c may be, for example, the floor area or volume of each of the sections. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the sections are larger in the order of section 20c, section 20a, and section 20b, so the threshold value of the number of visitors may be set to be larger in the order of section 20c, section 20a, and section 20b. For example, as shown in the table of FIG. 4, the threshold value of the number of visitors in section A (20a) is set to 6 people, the threshold value of the number of visitors in section B (20b) is set to 10 people, and the threshold value of the number of visitors in section C (20c) is set to 4 people, so that the threshold value can be set according to the size of each of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c.

[0023] In the example shown in the table of FIG. 4, the number of visitors in section A (20a) is 3, which is less than the threshold number of visitors in section A (20a) (6 people), so the overcrowded state determination unit 13 determines that section A (20a) is not overcrowded. The number of visitors in section B (20b) is 8, which is less than the threshold number of visitors in section B (20b) (10 people), so the overcrowded state determination unit 13 determines that section B (20b) is not overcrowded. On the other hand, the number of visitors in section C (20c) is 4, which is greater than or equal to the threshold number of visitors in section C (20c) (4 people) (in this case, the number of visitors and the threshold are the same value), so the overcrowded state determination unit 13 determines that section C (20c) is overcrowded. In addition, the overcrowding determination unit 13 also determines that section C (20c) is overcrowded if the number of people in section C (20c) becomes greater than the threshold value (4 people) (for example, if more people enter section C (20c) after it has been determined that section C is overcrowded).

[0024] In this embodiment, the floor area of ​​each section divided by the number of people staying there (the occupancy area per person) is set to a predetermined value (for example, the area of ​​a circle with a radius of 2 m: 2 2 ×3.14=12.6m 2 ) or more.

[0025] In this embodiment, the threshold for the number of visitors may be set based on the number of unique facilities in each of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c. The unique facilities include ashtrays in a smoking area, the number of toilets in a restroom, the number of chairs installed in a section, the number of ATMs in a bank, and the like. For example, the threshold for the number of visitors can be set based on the number of people who can use an ashtray in a smoking area, the number of toilets in a restroom, the number of chairs installed in a section, the number of ATMs in a bank, and the like. For example, the threshold for the number of visitors may be "the number of people who can use one facility at the same time x the number of facilities."

[0026] In this embodiment, the threshold for the number of people staying in the room may be set based on the ventilation volume of each of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c. Here, the ventilation volume can be calculated using a value calculated using the number of windows, the area of ​​the windows, and the time the windows are open in each of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c, a value calculated using the number of doors, the area of ​​the doors, and the time the doors are open, the presence or absence of a ventilation fan, the ventilation volume of the ventilation fan, etc. Considering infection prevention measures, for example, the threshold for the number of people staying in the room can be set higher for a section with a higher ventilation volume.

[0027] 1 restricts entry to a section determined to be overcrowded (hereinafter also referred to as an overcrowded section) when the overcrowded state determination section 13 determines that the section is overcrowded. For example, the entry restriction section 14 may be configured using a display, and may restrict entry to the overcrowded section by displaying on the display that the overcrowded section is overcrowded.

[0028] For example, as shown in Fig. 2, by installing displays (entry restriction units) 14a, 14b, and 14c near the entrances of each of sections 20a, 20b, and 20c, respectively, it is possible to inform a person who is about to enter an overcrowded section that the section he or she is about to enter is overcrowded. At this time, entry to the overcrowded section may be restricted by displaying on the display (entry restriction unit) 14 of the overcrowded section a guide to sections other than the overcrowded section.

[0029] For example, in the case shown in the table of Fig. 4, since section C (20c) is an overcrowded section, a display 14c installed near the entrance of section C (20c) may display a message indicating that section C (20c) is overcrowded. At this time, guidance to other sections, section A (20a) and section B (20b), may be displayed on the display 14c of section C (20c). This makes it possible to guide people attempting to enter section C (20c), which is an overcrowded section, to other sections, section A (20a) and section B (20b).

[0030] In this embodiment, the entrance restriction unit 14 may be configured using one display. That is, one display may be installed in a location visible from the entrance of each of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c, and may inform a person attempting to enter an overcrowded section that the section he or she is attempting to enter is overcrowded. In this case, too, entrance to the overcrowded section may be restricted by displaying guidance to sections other than the overcrowded section on the display (entrance restriction unit) 14.

[0031] In this embodiment, the entry restriction unit 14 may be configured using a speaker, in which case entry to the overcrowded area may be restricted by outputting a sound from the speaker informing the user that the overcrowded area is in an overcrowded state.

[0032] In this embodiment, the entrance restriction unit 14 may be configured using a projector, in which case the projector may be used to project a message onto the floor indicating that the overcrowded section is overcrowded, thereby restricting entry to the overcrowded section. Alternatively, the floor itself may be configured to emit light without using a projector.

[0033] In this embodiment, the entrance restriction unit 14 may be configured using a mobile terminal. In this case, a guide to a section other than the overcrowded section may be displayed on the display of the mobile terminal carried by each user. This makes it possible to restrict the user carrying the mobile terminal from entering the overcrowded section.

[0034] Next, an operation of the entrance restriction system (entrance restriction method) according to the present embodiment will be described below. Fig. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the entrance restriction system according to the embodiment.

[0035] First, the floor sensors 11a, 11b, and 11c provided at the entrances of each of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c are used to detect the feet of people passing through each entrance (step S1). Next, the number of people calculation unit 12 uses information about the feet of people detected by the floor sensors 11a, 11b, and 11c to calculate the number of people staying in each of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c (step S2).

[0036] Next, the overcrowding state determination unit 13 determines whether each of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c is overcrowded (step S3) based on the number of people (number of people staying) staying in each of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c calculated by the number of people calculation unit 12. If the overcrowding state determination unit 13 does not determine that the section is overcrowded (step S4: No), the operations from step S1 onwards are repeated.

[0037] On the other hand, if the overcrowded state determination unit 13 determines that the area is overcrowded (step S4: Yes), the entry restriction unit 14 restricts entry to the overcrowded section determined to be overcrowded (step S5). For example, the entry restriction unit 14 may restrict entry to the overcrowded section by displaying on a display that the overcrowded section is overcrowded. Thereafter, the operations from step S1 onwards are repeated. Note that the details of the operation of the entry restriction system have been described above and will not be described again.

[0038] As described above, in recent years, there has been a demand for a system that prevents people from becoming overcrowded in each section, for the purpose of infection prevention measures, etc. For example, by using a camera to monitor the condition of each section, it is possible to monitor whether or not there is overcrowding in each section.

[0039] However, because cameras have blind spots, it is necessary to install multiple cameras in one area to prevent blind spots. In this way, when multiple cameras are installed in one area, the number of cameras increases, which causes a problem of increased costs for configuring the entrance restriction system.

[0040] In contrast, in the present embodiment, a plurality of floor sensors are provided at the entrances of each of a plurality of sections to detect the feet of people passing through each entrance, and information about the detected feet of people is used to calculate the number of people staying in each of the plurality of sections. Then, based on the calculated number of people staying in each section, it is determined whether each section is overcrowded, and if it is determined that the section is overcrowded, entry to the section determined to be overcrowded is restricted.

[0041] In this way, in the invention according to this embodiment, the number of people staying in each section is calculated using floor sensors installed at the entrances and exits of each section. Therefore, since the number of people staying in each section can be calculated without using a camera, the admission control system can be realized at low cost. Therefore, the invention according to this embodiment can provide an admission control system and an admission control method that can restrict people from entering an overcrowded section at low cost.

[0042] Next, another configuration example of the entrance restriction system according to the present embodiment will be described.

[0043] In this embodiment, a plurality of thresholds may be set in the overcrowding state determination unit 13 to determine whether or not the overcrowding state is occurring. For example, the thresholds may be set in stages, such as a first threshold and a second threshold, and if the first threshold is not exceeded, it may be determined that there is room or that the facility is empty, if the first threshold is exceeded but the second threshold is not exceeded, it may be determined that the facility is crowded or that a warning is required, and if the second threshold is exceeded, it may be determined that the facility is overcrowded and that entry restrictions should be implemented.

[0044] In this embodiment, a gas sensor may be further provided to measure the carbon dioxide concentration in each of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c. When there is a section in which the carbon dioxide concentration measured by the gas sensor is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold, the overcrowding state determination unit 13 may determine that the section in which the carbon dioxide concentration is equal to or higher than the threshold is overcrowded, regardless of the number of people calculated by the number of people calculation unit 12.

[0045] The carbon dioxide concentration can be used as an index of the ventilation state in each of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c. For example, in a section with poor ventilation, the carbon dioxide concentration increases as the time of visitors increases. This situation is undesirable from the viewpoint of infection prevention measures, etc. Therefore, when there is a section in which the carbon dioxide concentration measured by the gas sensor is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold, the overcrowding state determination unit 13 determines that the section in which the carbon dioxide concentration is equal to or higher than the threshold is overcrowded.

[0046] In this embodiment, the number of people calculation unit 12 may further calculate the accumulated stay time of people staying in each of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c. When there is a section in which the calculated accumulated stay time is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, the overcrowding state determination unit 13 may determine that the section in which the calculated accumulated stay time is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold is in an overcrowded state, regardless of the number of people calculated by the number of people calculation unit 12.

[0047] In other words, if the cumulative stay time of people staying in a certain section is long, it is assumed that the ventilation condition of that section is not good. Such a situation is undesirable from the viewpoint of infection prevention measures, etc. Therefore, when there is a section where the cumulative stay time is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, the overcrowding state determination unit 13 may determine that the section where the cumulative stay time is equal to or greater than the threshold is in an overcrowded state.

[0048] In addition, in this embodiment, when the number of people who are not taking infection prevention measures reaches a certain number, entry restrictions may be implemented or ventilation may be implemented. Whether infection prevention measures are being implemented or not can be detected, for example, using the following method.

[0049] If a disinfection device is installed at the entrance of each of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c, the time that a person stays in front of the disinfection device can be detected using each floor sensor 11a, 11b, and 11c, thereby detecting whether or not an infection prevention measure (disinfection) has been taken. For example, if a person who is about to enter stays in front of the disinfection device for a predetermined period of time or more, it can be determined that disinfection (infection prevention measure) has been taken. In this case, whether or not an infection prevention measure (disinfection) has been taken may be detected based on whether or not the disinfection device was activated at the time of entry.

[0050] In addition, if a temperature measuring device is installed at the entrance of each of the sections 20a, 20b, and 20c, the time that a person stays in front of the temperature measuring device may be detected using each floor sensor 11a, 11b, and 11c to detect whether or not an infection prevention measure (temperature measurement) has been taken. For example, if a person who is about to enter stays in front of the temperature measuring device for a predetermined period of time or more, it can be determined that a temperature measurement (infection prevention measure) has been taken. In this case, whether or not an infection prevention measure (temperature measurement) has been taken may be detected based on whether or not the temperature measuring device was activated at the time of entry.

[0051] In this embodiment, the overcrowding state determination unit 13 may predict the number of visitors in each of the sections 20a, 20b, 20c using the transition of the number of people (visitor number) staying in each of the sections 20a, 20b, 20c calculated by the number of people calculation unit 12, and may determine whether each of the sections 20a, 20b, 20c is overcrowded or not based on the prediction result. For example, the overcrowding state determination unit 13 may predict the number of visitors in each of the sections 20a, 20b, 20c in association with the time period, day of the week, date, weather, etc.

[0052] Also, in FIG. 2, an example is shown in which floor sensors 11a, 11b, and 11c are provided inside each of compartments 20a, 20b, and 20c. However, in this embodiment, the locations where floor sensors 11a, 11b, and 11c are provided are not particularly limited as long as they are capable of detecting the feet of a person passing through the entrances and exits of each of compartments 20a, 20b, and 20c. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, floor sensor 41 may be provided both inside and outside compartment 20 with door 21 as a reference, or may be provided only outside compartment 20 with door 21 as a reference. That is, in this embodiment, floor sensor 41 may be provided at least on either inside or outside compartment 20 with door 21 as a reference.

[0053] In this embodiment, the compartment 20 may have multiple entrances and exits as shown in Fig. 7. For example, at least one of the compartments 20a, 20b, and 20c shown in Fig. 2 may have multiple entrances and exits.

[0054] As shown in Fig. 7, doors 22 and 23 are provided at each of the multiple entrances. Floor sensors 42 and 43 are provided at each of the multiple entrances of the section 20. In this case, the entrance where door 22 is provided may be used exclusively as an entrance, and the entrance where door 23 is provided may be used exclusively as an exit. Conversely, the entrance where door 23 is provided may be used exclusively as an entrance, and the entrance where door 22 is provided may be used exclusively as an exit. In this way, when an entrance where only an entrance is provided and an entrance where only an exit is provided are provided, it is only necessary to detect the number of people passing over the floor sensors 42 and 43, and it is not necessary to detect the direction of movement of people, so that the configuration of the number of people calculation unit 12 can be simplified.

[0055] Also, one floor sensor may be divided, and the entrance and exit leads (travel directions) may be determined on one floor sensor. For example, the floor sensor 11 shown in Fig. 3 may be divided in the center, and the left floor sensor may be used to detect entrances, and the right floor sensor may be used to detect exits. In such a configuration, the configuration of the number of people calculation unit 12 may be simplified.

[0056] 8, the present embodiment may be configured such that a configuration including the floor sensor 11, the number of people calculation unit 12, the overcrowding state determination unit 13, and the entry restriction unit 14 is one unit, and these units 50_1 to 50_n are installed in each section. In this case, by managing each of the units 50_1 to 50_n with the management unit 60, the determination result of the overcrowding state in each section can be shared between each of the units 50_1 to 50_n.

[0057] In the entrance restriction system shown in Fig. 8, the floor sensor 11 provided in each of the units 50_1 to 50_n may be configured with a plurality of floor sensors (see Fig. 1). For example, by installing one unit 50 in one building and arranging a floor sensor in each of a plurality of sections provided in the one building, it is possible to collectively manage the overcrowding state of a plurality of sections provided in each of a plurality of buildings. For example, the management unit 60 can remotely manage each of the units 50_1 to 50_n.

[0058] In addition, in this embodiment, an example is described in which there are three sections 20a, 20b, and 20c, but the invention according to this embodiment can be applied to a configuration having two or more sections, and the number of sections is not particularly limited.

[0059] Furthermore, the invention according to the present embodiment can be applied to buildings having multiple compartments (rooms, stores, etc.), such as office buildings and commercial facilities. However, the invention according to the present embodiment can be applied to various buildings, facilities, etc. having multiple compartments.

[0060] As described above, the present invention uses floor sensors, and therefore the number of people staying in each zone can be calculated without using cameras. However, in the present invention, cameras may be installed in each zone as necessary. For example, cameras may be installed to monitor the status of people in the zone, or cameras may be installed as an auxiliary means (i.e., to the extent that costs do not increase significantly), and the number of people staying in each zone may be calculated using information from the floor sensors and cameras.

[0061] While the present invention has been described above in accordance with the above-described embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, and naturally includes various modifications, alterations, and combinations that may be made by a person skilled in the art within the scope of the invention as defined in the claims of the present application.
