Therefore, the control mode of the terminal device can be switched between the work mode and the non-work mode by the switching control means. Thus, only a specific operator can perform the above management work without face-to-face transfer of the key to the storage means of the opening / closing device, and it becomes possible to efficiently perform the above management work while ensuring the security of the building.

[0019] According to the management device described in claim 2, when the control mode of the terminal device is the non-working mode, if the authentication information and the collation information are collated, the switching control means switches the control mode from the non-working mode to the working mode. Therefore, the switching can be easily performed, and it is possible to avoid the control related to the switching becoming complicated. Further, when the control mode of the terminal device is the working mode, if the authentication information and the collation information are collated and the end information is acquired, the switching control means switches the control mode from the working mode to the non-working mode. Therefore, it is possible to avoid erroneously performing the switching, and it becomes easier to ensure the reliability of the control related to the switching.

[0020] According to the management device described in claim 3, when the control mode of the terminal device is the working mode, if the end time of the management work has elapsed, the switching control means switches the control mode from the working mode to the non-working mode regardless of the collation result of the collation means and the acquisition of the end information. If the authentication information and the collation information are collated and the end information is acquired before the end time of the management work elapses, the switching control means switches the control mode from the working mode to the non-working mode. Therefore, when the control mode of the terminal device is the working mode, it is possible to effectively perform the switching from the working mode to the non-working mode according to whether the end time of the management work has elapsed, and it becomes easier to efficiently perform the management work while ensuring the security of the building.

[0021] According to the management device described in claim 4, since the working mode enables the control of the opening / closing body and / or the locking means based on the operation information received by the communication means, the opening / closing body and and the locking means can be operated using the terminal device, and the management work can be surely performed using the terminal device. Further, since the non-working mode disables the control of the opening / closing body and / or the locking means based on the operation information received by the communication means, it is possible to prevent the opening / closing body and / or the locking means from operating inadvertently, and it is possible to enhance the reliability of the control of the opening / closing body and / or the locking means.

[0022] Claim 6According to the management device described above, the working mode of the terminal device related to the first opening / closing device enables the control of the opening / closing body of the first opening / closing device based on the operation information received by the communication means of the first opening / closing device. Therefore, the opening / closing body of the first opening / closing device can be operated using the terminal device, and the above management work can be reliably performed using the terminal device. Further, the non-working mode of the terminal device related to the first opening / closing device disables the control of the opening / closing body of the first opening / closing device based on the operation information received by the communication means of the first opening / closing device. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the opening / closing body of the first opening / closing device from operating inadvertently, and the reliability of the control of the opening / closing body can be enhanced.

[0023] Claim 7 According to the management device described above, the working mode of the terminal device related to the second opening / closing device enables the control of the locking means of the second opening / closing device based on the operation information received by the communication means of the second opening / closing device. Therefore, the locking means of the second opening / closing device can be operated using the terminal device, and the above management work can be reliably performed using the terminal device. Further, the non-working mode of the terminal device related to the second opening / closing device disables the control of the locking means of the second opening / closing device based on the operation information received by the communication means of the second opening / closing device. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the locking means of the second opening / closing device from operating inadvertently, and the reliability of the control of the locking means can be enhanced.

[0024] Claim 8 According to the management device described above, when the control modes of the terminal devices related to the first opening / closing device and the second opening / closing device are in the working mode, the switching control means collates the authentication information and the collation information, and when at least the end information indicating that all the above management work has been completed is acquired, the control mode is switched from the working mode to the non-working mode. Therefore, the switching from the working mode to the non-working mode of the terminal devices related to the first opening / closing device and the second opening / closing device can be quickly performed, and it is easy to avoid the above management work being hindered by the first opening / closing device or the second opening / closing device. Therefore, the above management work can be efficiently performed.

[0025] Claim 9According to the management device described in [reference], the authentication information of each of the plurality of terminal devices is made different from each other. When the control mode of each terminal device regarding the first opening / closing device or / and the second opening / closing device is the working mode, the switching control means collates the authentication information of each terminal device with the collation information, and every time end information is acquired from each of the terminal devices, the control mode of each of the terminal devices is switched from the working mode to the non-working mode. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the opening / closing body of the first opening / closing device or / and the locking means of the second opening / closing device from being inadvertently controlled by an operator who has finished the management work regarding at least the second opening / closing device, and it becomes easier to ensure the security of the building.

[0026] Claim 10 According to the management device described in [reference], since it is provided with notification means for notifying notification information to each terminal device after end information is acquired from each terminal device, it is possible to notify each terminal device that each operator has finished the management work regarding at least the second opening / closing device, and it becomes easier for the operator of each terminal device to grasp the progress status of the management work.

[0027] Claim 11 According to the management device described in [reference], after end information is acquired from the terminal device held by the operator who has finished the management work regarding at least the second opening / closing device second from the last among the plurality of operators, the notification means notifies the terminal device held by the operator who has finished the management work last with notification information indicating that the operator is the last operator. Therefore, it is possible to notify the operator who has finished the management work last that the operator is the last operator, and it becomes easier for the operator to take measures that the last operator should take.

[0066] For example, when the state of the locking unit is the locked state (as an example, a state in which a latch portion (not shown) of the locking unit and a receiving portion (not shown) of the locking unit are engaged), and when operation information regarding the locking unit described later is received by the first opening / closing side communication unit 71 or the second opening / closing side communication unit 72 described later, the engaged state of these latch portion and receiving portion is released, whereby the locking unit is unlocked. Also, when the state of the locking unit is the unlocked state, and when it is operated so that the latch portion comes to a position where it can engage with the receiving portion, the latch portion and the receiving portion are engaged with each other, whereby the locking unit is locked.

[0073] (Configuration - Terminal Device) Next, the configuration of the terminal device 80 will be described.

[0074] The terminal device 80 is a device for directly or indirectly communicating various information with the management device 90. This terminal device 80 is held by an operator M who performs management work related to the opening / closing device 10, and is directly or indirectly communicably connected to each of the management device 90 and the opening / closing device 10. As shown in FIG. 3, it includes a terminal side communication unit 81, a terminal side operation unit 82, a terminal side output unit 83, a terminal side power supply unit 84, a terminal side control unit 85, and a terminal side storage unit 86. For configurations of the terminal device 80 that are not specifically noted, the description will be omitted as being the same as that of a known smartphone.

[0075] (Configuration - Terminal Device - Terminal Side Communication Unit) The terminal side communication unit 81 is a terminal side communication means for performing communication between the opening / closing device 10 and the management device 90 and the terminal device 80. For example, it is configured using a known communication means that performs short-range wireless communication and long-range wireless communication using a wireless communication network (as an example, a communication means using a short-range wireless communication standard such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) and a long-range wireless communication standard such as 4G, 5G, or LTE (registered trademark), etc.).

[0076] (Configuration - Terminal Device - Terminal Side Operation Unit) The terminal side operation unit 82 is a terminal side operation means for receiving operation inputs to the terminal device 80, and is configured using known operation means such as various switches and touch pads.

[0077] (Configuration - Terminal Device - Terminal Side Output Unit) The terminal-side output unit 83 is terminal-side output means for outputting various types of information based on the control of the terminal-side control unit 85, and is configured using, for example, known display means (as an example, a display) or voice output means (as an example, a speaker).

[0078] (Configuration - Terminal Device - Terminal-Side Control Unit - Terminal-Side Power Supply Unit) The terminal-side power supply unit 84 is terminal-side power supply means for supplying power to each part of the terminal device 80.

[0079] (Configuration - Terminal Device - Terminal-Side Control Unit) The terminal-side control unit 85 is terminal-side control means for controlling the terminal device 80.

[0080] (Configuration - Terminal Device - Terminal-Side Storage Unit) The terminal-side storage unit 86 is terminal-side storage means for recording programs and various types of data necessary for the operation of the terminal device 80.

[0081] (Configuration - Management Device) Next, the configuration of the management device 90 will be described.

[0082] The management device 90 is a device for managing the opening / closing device 10, and as shown in FIG. 4, includes a management-side communication unit 91, a management-side control unit 92, and a management-side storage unit 93. Note that, for configurations of the management device 90 that are not particularly noted, the description will be omitted on the assumption that they are the same as those of a known cloud server.

[0083] (Configuration - Management Device - Management-Side Communication Unit) The management-side communication unit 91 is management-side communication means for performing communication between each of the terminal device 80 and the opening / closing device 10 and the management device 90, and is configured using, for example, known communication means for long-distance wireless communication that performs long-distance wireless communication using a wireless communication network (as an example, communication means using a long-distance wireless communication standard such as 4G, 5G, or LTE (registered trademark), etc.).

[0084] (Configuration - Management Device - Management-Side Control Unit) The management-side control unit 92 is management-side control means for controlling each part of the management device 90. As shown in FIG. 4, conceptually in terms of functions, it includes an acquisition unit 92a, a verification unit 92b, and a switching control unit 92c. Note that the management program according to Embodiment 1 is installed in the management device 90 via an arbitrary recording medium or network, thereby substantially constituting each part of the management-side control unit 92 (note that the same applies to the management programs according to other embodiments).

[0085] The acquisition unit 92a is acquisition means for acquiring authentication information from the terminal device 80.

[0086] Here, the "authentication information" is information used when switching the control mode of the terminal device 80, and for example, numbers, symbols, or code information formed by combining these are applicable.

[0087] The verification unit 92b is verification means for verifying the authentication information acquired by the acquisition unit 92a and the verification information described later acquired by a predetermined method.

[0088] Based on at least the verification result of the verification unit 92b, the switching control unit 92c switches the control mode of the terminal device 80 between a work mode (hereinafter simply referred to as the "work mode") that enables performing management work related to the opening / closing device 10 and a non-work mode (hereinafter simply referred to as the "non-work mode") that disables performing the management work. Note that the details of the processing executed by this management-side control unit 92 will be described later.

[0089] (Configuration - Management Device - Management-Side Storage Unit) The management-side storage unit 93 is management-side storage means for recording programs and various data necessary for the operation of the management device 90. As shown in FIG. 4, it includes a verification table 93a.

[0090] (Configuration - Management Device - Management-Side Storage Unit - Verification Table) The verification table 93a is verification information storage means for storing verification information.

[0091] Here, the "matching information" is information for matching authentication information. In the first embodiment, it is configured to include terminal device identification information, open / close body operation permission information, locking unit operation permission information, work start information, and work end information.

[0092] Among these, the "terminal device identification information" is information for uniquely identifying the terminal device 80 to be matched. The "open / close body operation permission information" is information indicating whether the open / close body 40 of the opening / closing device 10 can be operated. The "locking unit operation permission information" is information indicating whether the locking unit of the opening / closing device 10 can be operated. The "work start information" is information indicating the start date and time of the management work related to the opening / closing device 10. The "work end information" is information indicating the end date and time of the management work related to the opening / closing device 10.

[0093] Also, as shown in FIG. 5, the matching table 93a stores the items "terminal device identification information", "open / close body operation permission information", "locking unit operation permission information", "work start information", and "work end information" and the information corresponding to each item in association with each other.

[0094] Among these, the information corresponding to the item "terminal device identification information" is the terminal device identification information. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, it corresponds to the identification number "1001" assigned to the terminal device 80. Also, the information corresponding to the item "open / close body operation permission information" is the open / close body operation permission information. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, it corresponds to "permissible" indicating that the operation of the open / close body 40 of the opening / closing device 10 is possible. Also, the information corresponding to the item "locking unit operation permission information" is the locking unit operation permission information. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, it corresponds to "permissible" indicating that the operation of the locking unit of the opening / closing device 10 is possible. Also, the information corresponding to the item "work start information" is the work start information. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, it corresponds to "2021 / 6 / 22 / 0:00" (i.e., 0:00 on June 22, 2021), which is the start date and time of the management work related to the opening / closing device 10. Also, the information corresponding to the item "work end information" is the work end information. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, it corresponds to "2021 / 6 / 22 / 5:00" (i.e., 5:00 on June 22, 2021), which is the end date and time of the management work related to the opening / closing device 10.

[0095] Also, although the method for updating various information in the collation table 93a is arbitrary, in the first embodiment, it is performed as follows at the timing before the management process related to the opening / closing device 10 is performed (note that the update methods for the first collation table 93b and the second collation table 93c described later are also substantially the same).

[0096] That is, first, creation information necessary for creating collation information (for example, information indicating the category of the management work related to the opening / closing device 10, information indicating the location of the management work, information indicating the object of the management work, information for identifying the operator, etc.) from the terminal device 80 is transmitted to an external terminal (not shown) held by the administrator of the opening / closing device 10 via the management device 90. Next, after collation information is created based on the above creation information by a predetermined method (for example, the administrator's operation input, etc.) in the external terminal, the collation information is transmitted to the management device 90. Then, in the management device 90, the various information in the collation table 93a is updated by storing the collation information received from the external terminal in the collation table 93a.

[0097] However, not limited to this, for example, in the management device 90, without transmitting the creation information received from the terminal device 80 to an external terminal, collation information is created based on the creation information using a known method, and the various information in the collation table 93a may be updated by storing the collation information in the collation table 93a.

[0098] With the management system 1 as described above, the control mode of the terminal device 80 can be switched between the work mode and the non-work mode by the switching control unit 92c. Therefore, without the key of the operation storage unit 66 of the opening / closing device 10 being handed over in person, only a specific operator M can perform management work related to the opening / closing device 10, and it is possible to efficiently perform management work related to the opening / closing device 10 while ensuring the security of the building.

[0099] (Management process) Next, the management process executed by the management-side control unit 92 of the management device 90 will be described. In the following description, in the description of each process shown in FIG. 6, the steps are abbreviated as "S".

[0100] The management process is a process for managing the opening / closing device 10. The timing for executing this management process is arbitrary, but in the first embodiment, it will be described as being started after the power of each device of the management system 1 is turned on.

[0101] Also, the premises of the management process will be described as follows. That is, it is assumed that the terminal device 80 can communicate with each of the opening / closing device 10 and the management device 90 around the opening / closing device 10. Also, the opening / closing state of the opening / closing body 40 in the opening / closing device 10 is in the fully closed state. Also, it is assumed that the collation table 93a of the management device 90 already stores the collation information necessary for management work related to the opening / closing device 10. Also, the control mode of the terminal device 80 is set to the non-work mode.

[0102] Here, the control content in the non - working mode of the terminal device 80 is arbitrary. In the first embodiment, the control of the opening / closing body 40 and the locking unit of the opening / closing device 10 based on the operation information received by the first opening / closing side communication unit 71 or the second opening / closing side communication unit 72 of the opening / closing device 10 is disabled.

[0103] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7(a), by not displaying the operation button 83a (described later) on the display screen of the terminal - side output unit 83 of the terminal device 80 (in FIG. 7(a), the non - display is indicated by a dotted line), the control of the opening / closing body 40 and the locking unit is disabled. However, it is not limited to this. For example, even if the operation button 83a (described later) is displayed, the operation information may not be transmitted, or even if the operation information is transmitted, invalid information that invalidates the operation of the operation information may be added to the operation information to disable the control of the opening / closing body 40 and the locking unit (note that the control content in the non - working mode according to other embodiments is also substantially the same).

[0104] With such control content in the non - working mode, it is possible to prevent the opening / closing body 40 and the locking unit from operating inadvertently, and improve the reliability of the control of the opening / closing body 40 and the locking unit.

[0105] In the first embodiment, during the period from when the management process is started until the process of SA4 (described later) is executed in SA1 (described later), while the control mode of the terminal device 80 maintains the non - working mode, without performing the display shown in FIG. 7(a), an operation image (not shown) for receiving an operation related to the switching timing information (described later) or / and the authentication information (described later) is continuously displayed on the display screen of the terminal - side output unit 83 of the terminal device 80. When the process of SA6 (described later) is executed, as shown in FIG. 7(b) (described later), the operation button 83a (described later) is displayed. After that, when the process of SA10 (described later) is executed, the display shown in FIG. 7(a) is performed. However, it is not limited to this. For example, when the management process is started, the display shown in FIG. 7(a) may be performed while arranging and displaying the operation images (note that other embodiments are also substantially the same).

[0106] Returning to FIG. 6, when the management process is started, as shown in FIG. 6, in SA1, the management-side control unit 92 determines whether or not the timing (hereinafter referred to as "switching timing") for switching the control mode of the terminal device 80 has arrived.

[0107] The method for determining whether or not this switching timing has arrived is arbitrary. However, in the first embodiment, it is determined based on whether or not information indicating that the switching timing has arrived (hereinafter referred to as "switching timing information") has been received from the terminal device 80. If the switching timing information has been received, it is determined that the switching timing has arrived. If the switching timing information has not been received, it is determined that the switching timing has not arrived.

[0108] Also, the method for transmitting the switching timing information from the terminal device 80 is arbitrary. For example, it may be transmitted by receiving a predetermined operation from the terminal-side operation unit 82 of the terminal device 80.

[0109] Then, the management-side control unit 92 waits until it is determined that the switching timing has arrived (SA1, No). When it is determined that the switching timing has arrived (SA1, Yes), it proceeds to SA2.

[0110] In SA2, the management-side control unit 92 specifies the control mode of the terminal device 80.

[0111] The method for specifying the control mode of this terminal device 80 is arbitrary. For example, it may be specified based on information indicating the results of the processes of SA6 and SA10 described later stored in the management-side storage unit 93 (that is, information indicating the switched control mode) (note that when the information is not stored in the management-side storage unit 93, it may be specified as the non-operation mode). Alternatively, it may be specified based on the information indicating the control mode of the terminal device 80 included in the switching timing information received in SA1.

[0112] In SA3, the management side control unit 92 determines whether the control mode of the terminal device 80 specified in SA2 is the non-working mode or not.

[0113] Then, when it is determined that it is the non-working mode (SA3, Yes), the management side control unit 92 shifts to SA4, and when it is determined that it is not the non-working mode (SA3, No), it shifts to SA7.

[0114] In SA4, the acquisition unit 92a determines whether authentication information has been acquired within a predetermined time (for example, within 1 minute from the start of the processing in SA4, etc.). However, it is not limited to this, and for example, it may be determined whether authentication information has been acquired without setting a time limit (note that the same applies to SA7).

[0115] Here, the method of acquiring the authentication information is arbitrary. For example, it may be acquired by directly receiving the authentication information transmitted from the terminal device 80. Alternatively, it may be acquired by indirectly receiving the authentication information transmitted from the terminal device 80 via the opening / closing device 10.

[0116] Also, the method of transmitting the authentication information by the terminal device 80 is arbitrary. For example, after the management process is started and the authentication information is received from the management device 90, the authentication information may be input via the terminal side operation unit 82 of the terminal device 80 and then a predetermined operation may be performed to transmit it. Alternatively, at the timing when it can be specified that the terminal device 80 can communicate with the opening / closing device 10 by a known method, the authentication information stored in advance in the terminal side storage unit 86 of the terminal device 80 may be automatically transmitted (in this case, the authentication information received from the management device 90 may not be output to the terminal side output unit 83).

[0117] Then, when the authentication information is acquired (SA4, Yes), the acquisition unit 92a shifts to SA5, and when the authentication information is not acquired (SA4, No), it shifts to SA1.

[0118] In SA5, the verification unit 92b determines whether the authentication information acquired in SA4 matches the verification information acquired by a predetermined method.

[0119] Here, the method for determining whether the authentication information and the verification information match is arbitrary. In Embodiment 1, among the terminal device identification information acquired from the verification table 93a, it is the terminal device identification information that matches the authentication information, and it is determined based on whether there is terminal device identification information whose date and time during the processing of SA5 is within the time period between the date and time of the work start information and the date and time of the work end information corresponding to the terminal device identification information. Here, if there is terminal device identification information that matches the authentication information and is within the above time period, it is determined that they match; if there is no terminal device identification information that matches the authentication information and is within the above time period, it is determined that they do not match. However, it is not limited to this. For example, it may be determined only based on whether there is terminal device identification information that matches the authentication information among the terminal device identification information acquired from the verification table 93a (the same applies to the processing of SA8 described later).

[0120] Also, the method for acquiring the verification information is arbitrary. In Embodiment 1, the verification information (specifically, the terminal device identification information) is acquired from the verification table 93a, but it is not limited to this. For example, the verification information may be acquired from an external device (the same applies to the method for acquiring the verification information in other processes).

[0121] Then, when the authentication information and the verification information match (SA5, Yes), the verification unit 92b proceeds to SA6; when the authentication information and the verification information do not match (SA5, No), it proceeds to SA1.

[0122] In SA6, the switching control unit 92c switches the control mode of the terminal device 80 from the non-working mode to the working mode, and then proceeds to SA1.

[0123] Specifically, the switching control unit 92c transmits switching instruction information instructing the terminal device 80 to switch the control mode from the non-operating mode to the operating mode, so that the terminal device 80 can switch the control mode from the non-operating mode to the operating mode based on the switching instruction information.

[0124] Here, the control content in the operating mode of the terminal device 80 is arbitrary. In the first embodiment, it is possible to control the opening / closing body 40 and the locking unit of the opening / closing device 10 based on the operation information received by the first opening / closing side communication unit 71 or the second opening / closing side communication unit 72 of the opening / closing device 10.

[0125] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7(b), on the display screen of the terminal-side output unit 83 of the terminal device 80, operation buttons 83a for transmitting the above operation information (specifically, a first operation button 83b related to the opening / closing body 40, a second operation button 83c related to the locking unit, etc.) are displayed (in FIG. 7(b), the display is indicated by a solid line). When the operation button 83a is operated, operation information (specifically, operation information including identification information (or / and authentication information) for uniquely identifying the opening / closing device 10) is transmitted, enabling control of the opening / closing body 40 and the locking unit of the opening / closing device 10. Also, for example, information indicating the history of the operation information transmitted from the terminal device 80 is transmitted from the terminal device 80 to the management device 90 or / and an external terminal held by the administrator at a predetermined timing (for example, the timing when the operation information is transmitted, every 5 minutes, etc.), so that the management device 90 or / and the external terminal can manage the operation status of the terminal device 80 (note that other embodiments are substantially the same).

[0126] However, it is not limited to this. For example, by referring to the collation information (specifically, work start information, etc.) included in the collation table 93a, the operation button 83a is not displayed until the date and time during the processing of SA6 passes the start date and time of the management work related to the opening / closing device 10, and the operation button 83a may be displayed after the start date and time of the management work has passed.

[0127] In this case, the control details of the opening / closing body 40 and the locking unit by the opening / closing device 10 are arbitrary. For example, operation information may be directly received from the terminal device 80 or received via the management device 90 (specifically, further, after collation is performed between the above identification information (or / and authentication information) included in the operation information and the identification information (or / and collation information) stored in the opening / closing side storage unit 75 of the opening / closing device 10), the opening / closing side control unit 74 may move the opening / closing body 40 in an opening / closing manner, or stop the opening / closing movement, or unlock the locking unit. For example, information indicating the control history of these opening / closing body 40 and locking unit may be transmitted from the opening / closing device 10 to the management device 90 or / and an external terminal held by the administrator at a predetermined timing (for example, the timing when the information is updated, every 5 minutes, etc.), so that the management device 90 or / and the external terminal can manage the control status of the opening / closing device 10 (note that the same applies to other embodiments).

[0128] With the control details in such an operation mode, the opening / closing body 40 and the locking unit can be operated using the terminal device 80, and management work regarding the opening / closing device 10 can be surely performed using the terminal device 80.

[0129] Also, by the processes of SA4 to SA6, when the control mode of the terminal device 80 is the non-operation mode, the authentication information and the collation information are collated, so that the mode can be switched from the non-operation mode to the operation mode. Therefore, the above switching can be easily performed, and it is possible to avoid the control regarding the switching from becoming complicated.

[0130] Returning to FIG. 6, in SA7, the acquisition unit 92a determines whether or not the authentication information has been acquired within a predetermined time.

[0131] Then, when the authentication information has been acquired (SA7, Yes), the acquisition unit 92a proceeds to SA8, and when the authentication information has not been acquired (SA7, No), the acquisition unit 92a proceeds to SA1.

[0132] In SA8, the verification unit 92b determines whether the authentication information acquired in SA7 matches the verification information acquired by a predetermined method.

[0133] Then, when the authentication information and the verification information match (SA8, Yes), the verification unit 92b proceeds to SA9, and when the authentication information and the verification information do not match (SA8, No), it proceeds to SA1.

[0134] In SA9, the acquisition unit 92a determines whether it has acquired information regarding the completion of the management work related to the opening / closing device 10 within a predetermined time (hereinafter referred to as "completion information").

[0135] The method for determining whether this completion information has been acquired is arbitrary. For example, it can be determined based on whether the completion information transmitted from the terminal device 80 or the management device 90 has been received until a predetermined time (e.g., 1 minute, etc.) has elapsed since the start of the processing in SA9. If the above completion information has been received, it is determined that the completion information has been acquired, and if the above completion information has not been received, it is determined that the completion information has not been acquired.

[0136] Note that the method for transmitting the completion information from the terminal device 80 is arbitrary. For example, it may be transmitted by receiving a predetermined operation from the terminal-side operation unit 82 of the terminal device 80 (note that the method for transmitting the completion information from the terminal device 80 according to other embodiments is also substantially the same). Also, the method for transmitting the completion information from the opening / closing device 10 is arbitrary. For example, it may be transmitted when the opening / closing state of the opening / closing body 40 is in the fully closed state and no operation information is received from the terminal device 80 and the operation unit 61 has not been operated for a predetermined time (e.g., 2 hours, etc.) (note that the method for transmitting the completion information from the opening / closing device 10 according to other embodiments is also substantially the same).

[0137] When the acquisition unit 92a acquires the end information (SA9, Yes), it proceeds to SA10. When the end information is not acquired (SA9, No), it proceeds to SA1. For example, the end information acquired at SA9 may be transmitted from the management device 90 to an external terminal held by the administrator at a predetermined timing (e.g., the timing when the end information is acquired), so that the progress status of the management work regarding the opening / closing device 10 can be managed on the external terminal (the same applies to other embodiments).

[0138] In SA10, the switching control unit 92c switches the control mode of the terminal device 80 from the working mode to the non-working mode, then proceeds to SA1, and thereafter repeats the processing from SA1 to SA10 in the same manner.

[0139] Specifically, the switching control unit 92c transmits switching instruction information instructing the terminal device 80 to switch the control mode from the working mode to the non-working mode, so that the terminal device 80 can switch the control mode from the working mode to the non-working mode based on the switching instruction information.

[0140] Through the processing from SA7 to SA10, when the control mode of the terminal device 80 is the working mode, the authentication information and the collation information are collated, and when the end information is acquired, the control mode can be switched from the working mode to the non-working mode. Therefore, it is possible to avoid erroneously performing the above switching, and it becomes easier to ensure the reliability of the control related to the switching.

[0141] However, not limited to the processes from SA7 to SA10, for example, when the control mode of the terminal device 80 is the work mode and any one of the processes from SA1, SA7 to SA9 is being performed, if the end time of the management work related to the opening / closing device 10 has elapsed, regardless of the collation result of the collation unit 92b and the acquisition of the end information, the process proceeds to SA10, the control mode is switched from the work mode to the non-work mode. Before the end time of the management work related to the opening / closing device 10 elapses, if the authentication information and the collation information are collated by the collation unit 92b and the end information is acquired by the acquisition unit 92a, the control mode may be switched from the work mode to the non-work mode.

[0142] Thereby, when the control mode of the terminal device 80 is the work mode, it is possible to effectively switch from the work mode to the non-work mode according to whether the end time of the management work related to the opening / closing device 10 has elapsed, and while ensuring the security of the building, it becomes easier to efficiently perform the management work related to the opening / closing device 10.

[0143] Note that the method for determining whether the end time of the management work related to the opening / closing device 10 has elapsed is arbitrary. For example, it may be determined based on whether the date and time during any one of the processes from SA1, SA7 to SA9 has passed the date and time of the work end information corresponding to the terminal device identification information that matches the authentication information acquired at SA4 or SA7 among the work end information stored in the collation table 93a. When the date and time of the above work end information has passed, it may be determined that the end time of the management work related to the opening / closing device 10 has elapsed, and when the date and time of the above work end information has not passed, it may be determined that the end time of the management work related to the opening / closing device 10 has not elapsed.

[0144] Through such management processing, the switching control unit 92c can switch the control mode of the terminal device 80 between the working mode and the non-working mode. Therefore, without the need for face-to-face transfer of the key of the operation storage unit 66 of the opening / closing device 10, only a specific operator M can perform management work related to the opening / closing device 10, and it is possible to efficiently perform management work related to the opening / closing device 10 while ensuring the security of the building.

[0145] (Management Processing - Specific Processing Contents) Subsequently, the specific situation in which the management processing is executed and the processing contents in that case will be described below.

[0146] That is, first, when the operator M arrives near the opening / closing device 10 and switching timing information is transmitted from the terminal device 80 by the operator M, and it is determined that the switching timing has arrived at SA1 in FIG. 6, the control mode of the terminal device 80 is specified as the non-working mode at SA2 in FIG. 6.

[0147] Next, in order for the operator M to perform management work related to the opening / closing device 10, when authentication information is transmitted from the terminal device 80, the authentication information is acquired at SA4 in FIG. 6, and when the authentication information and the collation information are collated at SA5 in FIG. 6, the control mode of the terminal device 80 is switched from the non-working mode to the working mode at SA6 in FIG. 6. As a result, the operation button 83a is displayed on the display screen of the terminal-side output unit 83 of the terminal device 80, so that it is possible to control the opening / closing body 40 and the locking unit of the opening / closing device 10 based on the operation information.

[0148] After that, when operation information indicating an operation related to the locking unit is transmitted from the terminal device 80, the locking unit is unlocked by the opening / closing side control unit 74, and then the operator M operates through the operation unit 61 of the opening / closing device 10, so that the operator M performs management work related to the opening / closing device 10.

[0149] Next, after the management work related to the opening / closing device 10 is completed before the end time of the management work, and after the opening / closing body 40 of the opening / closing device 10 is fully closed, when it is determined that the switching timing has arrived at SA1 in FIG. 6 because the switching timing information is transmitted from the terminal device 80 by the operator M who has left the building, the control mode of the terminal device 80 is specified as the work mode at SA2 in FIG. 6.

[0150] Next, when authentication information is transmitted from the terminal device 80, the authentication information is acquired at SA7 in FIG. 6, the authentication information and the collation information are collated at SA8 in FIG. 6, and when the end information is transmitted from the terminal device 80 and the end information is acquired at SA9 in FIG. 6, the control mode of the terminal device 80 is switched from the work mode to the non-work mode at SA10 in FIG. 6. As a result, the operation button 83a is no longer displayed on the display screen of the terminal-side output unit 83 of the terminal device 80, so that the control of the opening / closing body 40 and the locking unit of the opening / closing device 10 based on the operation information becomes impossible.

[0151] With such control content, it becomes possible for only a specific operator M to perform the management work related to the opening / closing device 10 without directly handing over the key of the operation storage unit 66 of the opening / closing device 10.

[0152] (Effect of Embodiment 1) As described above, according to Embodiment 1, at least based on the collation result of the collation unit 92b, the switching control unit 92c that switches the control mode of the terminal device 80 between the work mode that enables the management work related to the opening / closing device 10 and the non-work mode that disables the management work is provided. Therefore, the switching control unit 92c can switch the control mode of the terminal device 80 between the work mode and the non-work mode. Thus, without directly handing over the key of the operation storage unit 66 of the opening / closing device 10, only a specific operator M can perform the management work, and it becomes possible to efficiently perform the management work while ensuring the security of the building.

[0153] Further, when the control mode of the terminal device 80 is the non-operation mode, if the authentication information and the collation information match, the switching control unit 92c switches the control mode from the non-operation mode to the operation mode. Therefore, the switching can be easily performed, and it is possible to avoid the control related to the switching from becoming complicated. Further, when the control mode of the terminal device 80 is the operation mode, if the authentication information and the collation information match and the end information is acquired, the control mode is switched from the operation mode to the non-operation mode. Therefore, it is possible to avoid erroneously performing the switching, and it becomes easier to ensure the reliability of the control related to the switching.

[0154] Further, when the control mode of the terminal device 80 is the operation mode, if the elapsed time of the management work related to the opening / closing device 10 has passed, the switching control unit 92c switches the control mode from the operation mode to the non-operation mode regardless of the collation result of the collation unit 92b and the acquisition of the end information. If the authentication information and the collation information match and the end information is acquired before the elapsed time of the management work has passed, the control mode is switched from the operation mode to the non-operation mode. Therefore, when the control mode of the terminal device 80 is the operation mode, it is possible to effectively perform the switching from the operation mode to the non-operation mode according to whether the elapsed time of the management work has passed, and it becomes easier to efficiently perform the management work while ensuring the security of the building.

[0155] Further, the operation mode enables the control of the opening / closing body 40 and / or the locking unit based on the operation information received by the first opening / closing side communication unit 71 or the second opening / closing side communication unit 72. Therefore, the opening / closing body 40 and / or the locking unit can be operated using the terminal device 80, and the management work related to the opening / closing device 10 can be surely performed using the terminal device 80. Further, the non-operation mode disables the control of the opening / closing body 40 and / or the locking unit based on the operation information received by the first opening / closing side communication unit 71 or the second opening / closing side communication unit 72. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the opening / closing body 40 and / or the locking unit from operating inadvertently, and it is possible to improve the reliability of the control of the opening / closing body 40 and / or the locking unit.

[0156] 〔Embodiment 2〕 Next, the management system according to Embodiment 2 will be described. This Embodiment 2 is a form in which management operations regarding a plurality of opening / closing devices are performed using one terminal device. However, the configuration of this Embodiment 2 is substantially the same as the configuration of Embodiment 1, except where otherwise specified. For configurations that are substantially the same as those of Embodiment 1, the same reference numerals and / or names as those used in this Embodiment 1 will be given as necessary, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0157] (Configuration) First, the configuration of the management system according to Embodiment 2 will be described.

[0158] As shown in FIG. 8, the management system 101 includes a plurality of opening / closing devices 10, a terminal device 80, and a management device 90.

[0159] (Configuration - Opening / Closing Device) First, the configuration of the plurality of opening / closing devices 10 will be described.

[0160] The plurality of opening / closing devices 10 according to Embodiment 2 are configured substantially the same as the opening / closing device 10 according to Embodiment 1, and are respectively installed in a plurality of openings 3 as shown in FIG. 8.

[0161] Here, in Embodiment 2, it will be described that the plurality of openings 3 include a first opening 3a for an operator M to enter and exit the building, and a second opening 3b located inside the building relative to the first opening 3a.

[0162] Hereinafter, as necessary, as shown in FIG. 8, among the plurality of opening / closing devices 10, the opening / closing device 10a provided in the first opening 3a and which is the object of management work will be referred to as the "first opening / closing device 10a", and the opening / closing device 10b provided in the second opening 3b and which is the object of management work will be referred to as the "second opening / closing device 10b". Also, when there is no need to particularly distinguish between these first opening / closing device 10a and second opening / closing device 10b, they will simply be collectively referred to as the "opening / closing device 10".

[0163] In addition, in the second embodiment, it is described that one first opening / closing device 10a and one second opening / closing device 10b are provided in the building, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, one first opening / closing device 10a and a plurality of second opening / closing devices 10b may be provided in the building, or a plurality of first opening / closing devices 10a and a plurality of second opening / closing devices 10b may be provided in the building.

[0164] (Configuration - Terminal Device) Next, the configuration of the terminal device 80 will be described.

[0165] The terminal device 80 according to the second embodiment is configured substantially the same as the terminal device 80 according to the first embodiment.

[0166] (Configuration - Management Device) Next, the configuration of the management device 90 will be described.

[0167] The management device 90 according to the second embodiment is configured substantially the same as the management device 90 according to the first embodiment. However, regarding the details of the configuration of the management - side storage unit 93, the following improvements are made.

[0168] (Configuration - Management Device - Management - side Storage Unit) As shown in FIG. 9, the management - side storage unit 93 includes a first collation table 93b and a second collation table 93c.

[0169] (Configuration - Management Device - Management - side Storage Unit - First Collation Table) The first collation table 93b is a first collation - information storage means for storing first collation information.

[0170] Here, the "first collation information" is collation information for collating authentication information regarding the first opening / closing device 10a. In the second embodiment, it is configured to include first opening / closing device identification information, terminal device identification information, first opening / closing body operation permission information, first locking unit operation permission information, first work start information, and first work end information.

[0171] Among these, the "first opening / closing device identification information" is information for uniquely identifying the first opening / closing device 10a. Also, the "first opening / closing body operation permission information" is information indicating whether the opening / closing body 40 of the first opening / closing device 10a can be operated. Further, the "first locking part operation permission information" is information indicating whether the locking part of the first opening / closing device 10a can be operated. Additionally, the "first work start information" is information indicating the start date and time of management work related to the first opening / closing device 10a etc. (for example, the first opening / closing device 10a, the second opening / closing device 10b, or / and other equipment etc.). Also, the "first work end information" is information indicating the end date and time of management work related to the first opening / closing device 10a etc.

[0172] Also, as shown in FIG. 10, the first collation table 93b stores the items "first opening / closing device identification information", "terminal device identification information", "first opening / closing body operation permission information", "first locking part operation permission information", "first work start information", and "first work end information" in association with the information corresponding to each item.

[0173] Among these, the information corresponding to the item "First opening / closing device identification information" is the first opening / closing device identification information. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, it corresponds to the identification number "101" assigned to the first opening / closing device 10a. Also, the information corresponding to the item "Terminal device identification information" is the terminal device identification information. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, it corresponds to the identification number "1001" assigned to the terminal device 80. Also, the information corresponding to the item "First opening / closing body operation permission information" is the first opening / closing body operation permission information. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, it corresponds to "Permissible" indicating that the operation of the opening / closing body 40 of the first opening / closing device 10a is possible. Also, the information corresponding to the item "First locking part operation permission information" is the first locking part operation permission information. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, it corresponds to "Permissible" indicating that the operation of the locking part of the first opening / closing device 10a is possible. Also, the information corresponding to the item "First work start information" is the first work start information. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, it corresponds to "2021 / 6 / 22 / 0:00" which is the start date and time of the management work related to the first opening / closing device 10a. Also, the information corresponding to the item "First work end information" is the first work end information. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, it corresponds to "2021 / 6 / 22 / 5:00" which is the end date and time of the management work related to the first opening / closing device 10a.

[0174] (Configuration - Management device - Management side storage unit - Second verification table) The second verification table 93c is a second verification information storage means for storing the second verification information.

[0175] Here, the "second verification information" is verification information for verifying the authentication information related to the second opening / closing device 10b. In the second embodiment, it is configured to include the second opening / closing device identification information, the terminal device identification information, the second locking part operation permission information, the second work start information, and the second work end information.

[0176] Among these, the "second opening / closing device identification information" is information for uniquely identifying the second opening / closing device 10b. Also, the "second locking unit operation permission information" is information indicating whether the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b can be operated. Further, the "second work start information" is information indicating the start date and time of the management work related to the second opening / closing device 10b. Also, the "second work end information" is information indicating the end date and time of the management work related to the second opening / closing device 10b.

[0177] Also, as shown in FIG. 11, the second collation table 93c stores, in substantially the same manner as the first collation table 93b in FIG. 10, the items "second opening / closing device identification information", "terminal device identification information", "second locking unit operation permission information", "second work start information", and "second work end information", and the information corresponding to each item, in association with each other.

[0178] With the management system 101 as described above, the switching control unit 92c can switch the control mode of the terminal device 80 regarding each of the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b between the work mode and the non-work mode. Therefore, without directly handing over the keys of the operation storage units 66 of each of the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b, only a specific worker M can perform the management work related to the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b, and it becomes possible to efficiently perform the management work related to the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b while ensuring the security of the building.

[0179] (Management Process) Next, the management process executed by the management-side control unit 92 of the management device 90 will be described.

[0180] The management process is a process for managing a plurality of opening / closing devices 10.

[0181] Next, the premises of the management process will be described as follows. That is, it is assumed that the terminal device 80 can communicate with each of the first opening / closing device 10a, the second opening / closing device 10b, and the management device 90 around each of the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b. Also, the opening / closing state of the opening / closing body 40 in the first opening / closing device 10a is maintained in the fully closed state except when the operator M enters or exits the building or when management work related to the first opening / closing device 10a is being performed. Further, it is assumed that the first collation information and the second collation information necessary for the management work related to the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b are already stored in the first collation table 93b and the second collation table 93c of the management device 90. Also, the control mode of the terminal device 80 related to each of the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b will be described as being in the non-operation mode.

[0182] Incidentally, hereinafter, as necessary, the control mode of the terminal device 80 related to the first opening / closing device 10a will be referred to as the "first control mode", and the control mode of the terminal device 80 related to the second opening / closing device 10b will be referred to as the "second control mode".

[0183] Here, although the control content in the first control mode is arbitrary, in the second embodiment, the control of the opening / closing body 40 and the locking unit of the first opening / closing device 10a based on the operation information received by the first opening / closing side communication unit 71 or the second opening / closing side communication unit 72 of the first opening / closing device 10a is disabled.

[0184] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13(a), by not displaying the first operation button 83b and the second operation button 83c related to the first opening / closing device 10a on the display screen of the terminal side output unit 83 of the terminal device 80, the control of the opening / closing body 40 and the locking unit of the first opening / closing device 10a is disabled.

[0185] With the control content in such a first control mode, it is possible to prevent the opening / closing body 40 and the locking unit of the first opening / closing device 10a from operating inadvertently, and it is possible to improve the reliability of the control of the opening / closing body 40 and the locking unit.

[0186] Also, although the control content in the second control mode is arbitrary, in the second embodiment, the control of the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b based on the operation information received by the second opening / closing side communication unit 72 of the second opening / closing device 10b is disabled (note that since the opening / closing body 40 of the second opening / closing device 10b is not a control target, the terminal device 80 does not perform any display of the operation button 83a related to the opening / closing body 40).

[0187] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13(a), by not displaying the second operation button 83c related to the second opening / closing device 10b on the display screen of the terminal side output unit 83 of the terminal device 80, the control of the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b is disabled.

[0188] With such control content in the second control mode, it is possible to prevent the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b from operating inadvertently, and the reliability of the control of the locking unit can be improved.

[0189] Returning to FIG. 12, when the management process is started, as shown in FIG. 12, in SB1, the management side control unit 92 determines whether the switching timing for switching to the first control mode or / and the second control mode has arrived, in substantially the same manner as the process of SA1.

[0190] Then, the management side control unit 92 waits until it is determined that the switching timing has arrived (SB1, No), and when it is determined that the switching timing has arrived (SB1, Yes), it proceeds to SB2.

[0191] In SB2, the management side control unit 92 specifies the first control mode and the second control mode, in substantially the same manner as the process of SA2.

[0192] In SB3, the switching control unit 92c determines whether the first control mode and the second control mode specified in SB2 are non-operation modes.

[0193] When it is determined that the non-operation mode is in effect (SB3, Yes), the switching control unit 92c shifts to SB4, and when it is determined that the non-operation mode is not in effect (SB3, No), it shifts to SB7.

[0194] In SB4, the acquisition unit 92a determines whether or not authentication information has been acquired within a predetermined time (for example, within 1 minute from the start of the processing in SB4).

[0195] Here, the method of acquiring the authentication information is arbitrary. In the second embodiment, the authentication information is acquired by directly receiving the authentication information transmitted from the terminal device 80.

[0196] Also, the method of transmitting the authentication information by the terminal device 80 is arbitrary. In the second embodiment, the authentication information is input via the terminal-side operation unit 82 of the terminal device 80, and then a predetermined operation is performed to transmit it.

[0197] When the acquisition unit 92a acquires the authentication information (SB4, Yes), it shifts to SB5, and when the authentication information is not acquired (SB4, No), it shifts to SB1.

[0198] In SB5, the collation unit 92b determines whether or not the authentication information acquired in SB4 collates with each of the first collation information and the second collation information acquired by a predetermined method.

[0199] Here, the method for determining whether the authentication information matches each of the first collation information and the second collation information is arbitrary. However, in the second embodiment, among the terminal device identification information obtained from each of the first collation table 93b and the second collation table 93c, the terminal device identification information that matches the authentication information and the date and time during the processing of SB5 is within the time period between the date and time of the first work start information corresponding to the terminal device identification information and the date and time of the first work end information, and it is determined based on whether there is terminal device identification information within the time period between the date and time of the second work start information corresponding to the terminal device identification information and the date and time of the second work end information. Here, if there is terminal device identification information that matches the authentication information and is within the above time period, it is determined that they match. If there is no terminal device identification information that matches the authentication information and is within the above time period, it is determined that they do not match.

[0200] Then, when the collation unit 92b determines that the authentication information matches each of the first collation information and the second collation information (SB5, Yes), it proceeds to SB6. When the authentication information does not match each of the first collation information and the second collation information (SB5, No), it proceeds to SB1.

[0201] However, it is not limited to this. For example, it may be determined only whether the authentication information obtained in SB4 matches the first collation information obtained by a predetermined method.

[0202] In SB6, the switching control unit 92c switches each of the first control mode and the second control mode from the non-operation mode to the operation mode in a lump, similar to the processing of SA6, and then proceeds to SB1.

[0203] Here, the control content in the above operation mode is arbitrary. However, in the second embodiment, it enables the control of the opening / closing body 40 and the locking unit of the first opening / closing device 10a based on the operation information received by the first opening / closing side communication unit 71 or the second opening / closing side communication unit 72 of the first opening / closing device 10a, and enables the control of the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b based on the operation information received by the second opening / closing side communication unit 72 of the second opening / closing device 10b.

[0204] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13(b), on the display screen of the terminal-side output unit 83 of the terminal device 80, a first operation button 83b and a second operation button 83c related to the first opening / closing device 10a are displayed. When the first operation button 83b or the second operation button 83c is operated, corresponding operation information (specifically, operation information including the first opening / closing device identification information (or / and authentication information)) is transmitted, etc., enabling control of the opening / closing body 40 and the locking unit of the first opening / closing device 10a. Also, on the display screen of the terminal-side output unit 83, a second operation button 83c related to the second opening / closing device 10b is displayed. When the second operation button 83c is operated, operation information (specifically, operation information including the second opening / closing device identification information (or / and authentication information)) is transmitted, etc., enabling control of the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b.

[0205] In this case, the control content of the opening / closing body 40 and the locking unit by the first opening / closing device 10a is arbitrary. For example, when operation information is received from the terminal device 80 via the management device 90 (specifically, after further verifying the first opening / closing device identification information (or / and authentication information) included in the operation information with the identification information (or / and verification information) stored in the opening / closing side storage unit 75 of the first opening / closing device 10a), the opening / closing side control unit 74 of the first opening / closing device 10a may open / close the opening / closing body 40, or stop the opening / closing movement, or unlock the locking unit.

[0206] Also, the control content of the locking unit by the second opening / closing device 10b is arbitrary. For example, when operation information is directly received from the terminal device 80 (specifically, after further verifying the second opening / closing device identification information (or / and authentication information) included in the operation information with the identification information (or / and verification information) stored in the opening / closing side storage unit 75 of the second opening / closing device 10b), the opening / closing side control unit 74 of the second opening / closing device 10b may unlock the locking unit.

[0207] Returning to FIG. 12, in SB7, the acquisition unit 92a determines whether authentication information has been acquired within a predetermined time, in substantially the same manner as the process of SB4.

[0208] Then, when the acquisition unit 92a acquires the authentication information (SB7, Yes), it proceeds to SB8, and when the authentication information is not acquired (SB7, No), it proceeds to SB1.

[0209] In SB8, the collation unit 92b determines, in substantially the same manner as the process of SB5, whether the authentication information acquired in SB7 collates with each of the first collation information and the second collation information acquired by a predetermined method.

[0210] Then, when the collation unit 92b determines that the authentication information collates with each of the first collation information and the second collation information (SB8, Yes), it proceeds to SB9, and when the authentication information does not collate with each of the first collation information and the second collation information (SB8, No), it proceeds to SB1.

[0211] In SB9, the acquisition unit 92a determines, in substantially the same manner as the process of SA9, whether it has acquired end information regarding the completion of the management work related to at least the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b within a predetermined time (that is, end information indicating that all the management work has been completed).

[0212] Then, when the acquisition unit 92a acquires the end information (SB9, Yes), it proceeds to SB10, and when the end information is not acquired (SB9, No), it proceeds to SB1.

[0213] Here, in the second embodiment, although end information regarding the completion of the management work related to only the first opening / closing device 10a (or only the second opening / closing device 10b) is acquired each time the management work related to the first opening / closing device 10a or the second opening / closing device 10b is completed, when the end information is acquired, instead of proceeding to SB10, it may proceed to SB1. Alternatively, the process of SB9 may be repeated until end information regarding the completion of the management work related to at least the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b is acquired.

[0214] In SB10, the switching control unit 92c switches each of the first control mode and the second control mode from the working mode to the non-working mode in a manner similar to the processing of SA10, and then shifts to SB1, and thereafter repeats the processing from SB1 to SB10 in the same manner.

[0215] Also, although the control content in the non-working mode is arbitrary, in the second embodiment, when the end information is acquired at SB9, or in addition to the end information, when information indicating that the opening / closing state of the first opening / closing device 10a is the fully closed state is received from the first opening / closing device 10a, the control of the opening / closing body 40 and the locking unit of the first opening / closing device 10a based on the operation information received by the first opening / closing side communication unit 71 or the second opening / closing side communication unit 72 of the first opening / closing device 10a is disabled, and the control of the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b based on the operation information received by the second opening / closing side communication unit 72 of the second opening / closing device 10b is disabled.

[0216] By the processing from SB7 to SB10 like this, since the switching from the working mode to the non-working mode of each of the first control mode and the second control mode can be performed quickly, the management work regarding the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b can be performed efficiently.

[0217] However, not limited to the processing from SB7 to SB10, for example, when each of the first control mode and the second control mode is in the working mode and any processing from SB1, SB7 to SB9 is being performed, and when the end time of the management work regarding the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b has elapsed, regardless of the collation result of the collation unit 92b and the acquisition of the end information, shift to SB10, switch from the working mode to the non-working mode, and before the end time of the management work regarding the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b elapses, when the authentication information is collated with each of the first collation information and the second collation information by the collation unit 92b and the end information is acquired by the acquisition unit 92a, it may be switched from the working mode to the non-working mode.

[0218] Accordingly, when each of the first control mode and the second control mode is a working mode, it is possible to effectively switch from the working mode to the non-working mode according to whether the end time of the management work for the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b has elapsed, and while ensuring the security of the building, it becomes easier to efficiently perform the management work for the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b.

[0219] Note that the method for determining whether the end time of the management work for the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b has elapsed is arbitrary. For example, it may be determined based on whether the date and time at the time of any of the processes of SB1, SB7 to SB9 has passed the date and time of the first work end information stored in the first collation table 93b and corresponding to the terminal device identification information that matches the authentication information acquired at SB4 or SB7. And when the date and time of the above first work end information has passed, it may be determined that the end time of the management work for the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b has elapsed, and when the date and time of the above first work end information has not passed, it may be determined that the end time of the management work for the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b has not elapsed. Alternatively, among the first work end information and the second work end information stored in the first collation table 93b and the second collation table 93c, the latest date and time among the times of the first work end information and the second work end information corresponding to the terminal device identification information that matches the authentication information acquired at SC5 is specified, and it may be determined based on whether the date and time at the time of any of the processes of SB1, SB7 to SB9 has passed the latest date and time (note that the process of SC10 described later is also substantially the same).

[0220] Through such management processing, the switching control unit 92c can switch the first control mode and the second control mode between the working mode and the non-working mode. Therefore, without the need for face-to-face transfer of the keys of the operation storage units 66 of each of the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b, only a specific operator M can perform management work related to the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b. While ensuring the security of the building, it becomes possible to efficiently perform management work related to the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b.

[0221] (Management Processing - Specific Processing Contents) Subsequently, the specific situations in which the management processing is executed and the processing contents in such cases will be described below.

[0222] That is, first, when the operator M arrives near the first opening / closing device 10a and switching timing information is transmitted from the terminal device 80 by the operator M, and it is determined that the switching timing has arrived at SB1 in FIG. 12, each of the first control mode and the second control mode is specified as the non-working mode at SB2 in FIG. 12.

[0223] Next, when the operator M enters and exits the building and authentication information is transmitted from the terminal device 80 to perform management work related to the first opening / closing device 10a, the authentication information is acquired at SB4 in FIG. 12. When the authentication information is compared with each of the first collation information and the second collation information at SB5 in FIG. 12, each of the first control mode and the second control mode is collectively switched from the non-working mode to the working mode at SB6 in FIG. 12. As a result, the first operation button 83b and the second operation button 83c related to the first opening / closing device 10a are displayed on the display screen of the terminal-side output unit 83 of the terminal device 80, and the second operation button 83c related to the second opening / closing device 10b is also displayed. Therefore, it becomes possible to control the opening / closing body 40 and the locking unit of the first opening / closing device 10a based on the operation information, and it also becomes possible to control the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b based on the operation information.

[0224] After that, when operation information indicating an operation related to the locking unit of the first opening / closing device 10a is transmitted from the terminal device 80, and after unlocking the locking unit, the operator M operates via the operation unit 61 of the first opening / closing device 10a, the operator M performs management work related to the first opening / closing device 10a and can enter and exit the building. Also, when the operator M arrives near the second opening / closing device 10b and operation information indicating an operation related to the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b is transmitted from the terminal device 80, and after unlocking the locking unit, the operator M operates via the operation unit 61 of the second opening / closing device 10b, the operator M performs management work related to the second opening / closing device 10b.

[0225] Next, after the management work related to the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b ends before the end time of the management work, after the opening / closing body 40 of the first opening / closing device 10a is fully closed, when switching timing information is transmitted from the terminal device 80 by the operator M who has left the building and it is determined that the switching timing has arrived at SB1 in FIG. 12, each of the first control mode and the second control mode is specified as the working mode at SB2 in FIG. 12.

[0226] Then, when authentication information is transmitted from the terminal device 80, the authentication information is acquired at SB7 in FIG. 12, the authentication information is compared with each of the first collation information and the second collation information at SB8 in FIG. 12, and when end information indicating that the management work related to the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b has ended is acquired at SB9 in FIG. 12, each of the first control mode and the second control mode is switched from the working mode to the non-working mode at SB10 in FIG. 12. As a result, the first operation button 83b and the second operation button 83c related to the first opening / closing device 10a and the second operation button 83c related to the second opening / closing device 10b are no longer displayed on the display screen of the terminal-side output unit 83 of the terminal device 80, so that control of the opening / closing body 40 and the locking unit of the first opening / closing device 10a and control of the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b based on the operation information become impossible.

[0227] With such control content, it becomes possible for only a specific operator M to perform management work related to the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b without directly handing over the keys of the operation storage parts 66 of the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b.

[0228] (Effect of Embodiment 2) As described above, according to Embodiment 2, the working mode of the terminal device 80 related to the first opening / closing device 10a enables the control of the opening / closing body 40 and the locking part of the first opening / closing device 10a based on the operation information received by the first opening / closing side communication part 71 or the second opening / closing side communication part 72 of the first opening / closing device 10a. Therefore, the opening / closing body 40 and the locking part of the first opening / closing device 10a can be operated using the terminal device 80, and management work related to the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b can be reliably performed using the terminal device 80. Further, the non-working mode of the terminal device 80 related to the first opening / closing device 10a disables the control of the opening / closing body 40 and the locking part of the first opening / closing device 10a based on the operation information received by the first opening / closing side communication part 71 or the second opening / closing side communication part 72 of the first opening / closing device 10a. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the opening / closing body 40 and the locking part from operating inadvertently, and the reliability of the control of the opening / closing body 40 and the locking part can be improved.

[0229] Also, the working mode of the terminal device 80 related to the second opening / closing device 10b enables the control of the locking part of the second opening / closing device 10b based on the operation information received by the second opening / closing side communication part 72 of the second opening / closing device 10b. Therefore, the locking part of the second opening / closing device 10b can be operated using the terminal device 80, and management work related to the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b can be reliably performed using the terminal device 80. Further, the non-working mode of the terminal device 80 related to the second opening / closing device 10b disables the control of the locking part of the second opening / closing device 10b based on the operation information received by the second opening / closing side communication part 72 of the second opening / closing device 10b. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the locking part of the second opening / closing device 10b from operating inadvertently, and the reliability of the control of the locking part can be improved.

[0230] In addition, when the control mode of the terminal device 80 for each of the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b is the work mode, the switching control unit 92c compares the authentication information with the collation information, and when at least the end information indicating that the management work for all the first opening / closing devices 10a and the second opening / closing devices 10b has been completed is acquired, the control mode is switched from the work mode to the non-work mode. Therefore, the switching from the work mode to the non-work mode of the terminal device 80 for each of the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b can be performed quickly, and it is easy to avoid the management work being hindered by the first opening / closing device 10a or the second opening / closing device 10b. Thus, the management work can be efficiently performed.

[0231] 〔Embodiment 3〕 Next, the management system according to Embodiment 3 will be described. This Embodiment 3 is a form in which management work for the second opening / closing device and other facilities is performed using a plurality of terminal devices. However, the configuration of this Embodiment 3 is substantially the same as the configuration of Embodiment 2 except in cases where otherwise noted. For configurations that are substantially the same as those of Embodiment 2, the same reference numerals and / or names as those used in this Embodiment 2 are attached as necessary, and the description thereof is omitted.

[0232] (Configuration) First, the configuration of the management system according to Embodiment 3 will be described.

[0233] As shown in FIG. 14, the management system 201 according to Embodiment 3 includes a plurality of opening / closing devices 10, a plurality of terminal devices 80, and a management device 90.

[0234] (Configuration - Opening / Closing Device) First, the configuration of the plurality of opening / closing devices 10 will be described.

[0235] The plurality of opening / closing devices 10 according to Embodiment 3 (specifically, the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b) are configured substantially the same as the plurality of opening / closing devices 10 according to Embodiment 2, and are respectively installed in a plurality of openings 3 (specifically, the first opening 3a and the second opening 3b). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, the first opening / closing device 10a that is not the object of management work is provided in the first opening 3a, and the second opening / closing device 10b that is the object of management work is provided in the second opening 3b.

[0236] Also, in Embodiment 3, although it will be described that one first opening / closing device 10a and one second opening / closing device 10b are provided in the building, it is not limited thereto. For example, one first opening / closing device 10a and a plurality of second opening / closing devices 10b may be provided in the building, or a plurality of first opening / closing devices 10a and a plurality of second opening / closing devices 10b may be provided in the building.

[0237] (Configuration - Terminal Device) Next, the configuration of the plurality of terminal devices 80 will be described.

[0238] The plurality of terminal devices 80 according to Embodiment 3 are configured substantially the same as the terminal device 80 according to Embodiment 2, and are held by a plurality of workers M (in FIG. 14, three workers M).

[0239] Hereinafter, as needed, as shown in FIG. 14, among the plurality of terminal devices 80, the terminal device 80a held by the worker M1 (hereinafter referred to as the "first worker M1") who performs management work related to the second opening / closing device 10b is referred to as the "first terminal device 80a" (in FIG. 14, one first terminal device 80a is provided), and the terminal device 80b held by the worker M2 (hereinafter referred to as the "second worker M2") who performs management work related to other equipment (for example, electrical equipment, etc.) not shown is referred to as the "second terminal device 80b" (in FIG. 14, two second terminal devices 80b are provided). Also, when there is no need to particularly distinguish between these first terminal device 80a and second terminal device 80b, they are simply collectively referred to as "terminal device 80".

[0240] (Configuration - Management Device) Next, the configuration of the management device 90 will be described.

[0241] The management device 90 according to Embodiment 3 is configured substantially the same as the management device 90 according to Embodiment 2. However, regarding the details of the configuration of the management - side control unit 92, the following improvements are made.

[0242] (Configuration - Management Device - Management - side Control Unit) As shown in FIG. 15, the management - side control unit 92 functionally conceptually includes an acquisition unit 92a, a collation unit 92b, a switching control unit 92c, and a notification unit 92d.

[0243] Among these, the notification unit 92d is a notification means for notifying each terminal device 80 of information indicating that fact (hereinafter referred to as "notification information") after the end information is acquired by the acquisition unit 92a from each terminal device 80.

[0244] With the management system 201 as described above, the switching control unit 92c can switch the control mode of each terminal device 80 related to each of the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b between the working mode and the non - working mode. Therefore, without face - to - face transfer of the keys of the operation storage unit 66 of each of the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b, only a specific operator M can perform management work related to the second opening / closing device 10b or / and other facilities. While ensuring the security of the building, it becomes possible to efficiently perform management work related to the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities.

[0245] (Management Process) Next, the management process executed by the management - side control unit 92 of the management device 90 will be described.

[0246] Regarding the management process according to Embodiment 3, SC2 to SC5, SC7, and SC8 in FIG. 16 are substantially the same as SB2 to SB5, SB7, and SB8 in FIG. 12, respectively, so the description thereof will be omitted.

[0247] Also, the premises of the management process will be described as follows. That is, it is assumed that each of the first terminal device 80a and the second terminal device 80b can communicate with each of the first opening / closing device 10a, the second opening / closing device 10b, and the management device 90 around each of the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b. Also, the opening / closing state of the opening / closing body 40 in the first opening / closing device 10a is to be maintained in the fully closed state except when the first operator M1 or the second operator M2 enters or exits the building. Also, the authentication information of each of the plurality of terminal devices 80 is to be different from each other. Also, it is assumed that the first collation table 93b and the second collation table 93c of the management device 90 already store the first collation information and the second collation information necessary for the management work regarding the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities (however, it is assumed that the second collation table 93c does not store the second collation information for collating with the authentication information from the second terminal device 80b). Also, the control mode of each of the first terminal device 80a and the second terminal device 80b regarding each of the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b is to be the non-operation mode.

[0248] Here, the control content in the first control mode of each of the first terminal device 80a and the second terminal device 80b is arbitrary, but in the third embodiment, the control of the opening / closing body 40 of the first opening / closing device 10a based on the operation information received by the first opening / closing side communication unit 71 or the second opening / closing side communication unit 72 of the first opening / closing device 10a is disabled (note that since the locking unit of the first opening / closing device 10a is not a control target, the display of the operation button 83a regarding the locking unit is not performed at all in each of the first terminal device 80a and the second terminal device 80b).

[0249] Specifically, the control of the opening / closing body 40 of the first opening / closing device 10a is disabled by not displaying the first operation button 83b regarding the first opening / closing device 10a on the display screen of the terminal-side output unit 83 of each of the first terminal device 80a and the second terminal device 80b.

[0250] With the control content in such a first control mode, it is possible to prevent the opening / closing body 40 of the first opening / closing device 10a from operating inadvertently, and the reliability of the control of the opening / closing body 40 can be enhanced.

[0251] Also, although the control content in the second control mode of each of the first terminal device 80a and the second terminal device 80b is arbitrary, in the third embodiment, the control of the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b is disabled based on the operation information received by the first opening / closing side communication unit 71 or the second opening / closing side communication unit 72 of the second opening / closing device 10b (note that since the opening / closing body 40 of the second opening / closing device 10b is not a control target, the operation button 83a related to the opening / closing body 40 is not displayed at all on each of the first terminal device 80a and the second terminal device 80b).

[0252] Specifically, the control of the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b is disabled by not displaying the second operation button 83c related to the second opening / closing device 10b on the display screen of the terminal side output unit 83 of each of the first terminal device 80a and the second terminal device 80b.

[0253] In the third embodiment, since the second operator M2 only performs management work related to other facilities, for example, no display related to the second control mode (such as the display of the second operation button 83c related to the second opening / closing device 10b) may be performed on the terminal side output unit 83 of the second terminal device 80b.

[0254] With the control content in such a second control mode, it is possible to prevent the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b from operating inadvertently, and the reliability of the control of the locking unit can be enhanced.

[0255] When the management process is started, as shown in FIG. 16, in SC1, the management side control unit 92 determines whether or not the switching timing for switching the first control mode or / and the second control mode of the first terminal device 80a or the second terminal device 80b has arrived, in substantially the same manner as the process of SB1.

[0256] Then, the management-side control unit 92 waits until it is determined that the switching timing has arrived (SC1, No), and when it is determined that the switching timing has arrived (SC1, Yes), it proceeds to SC2.

[0257] In the following, among the first terminal device 80a and the second terminal device 80b, the terminal device 80 in which the switching timing has arrived at SC1 is referred to as the "target terminal device", and the processes from SC2 to SC11 regarding the target terminal device will be described. Also, in the management process, even when the processes from SC2 to SC11 regarding the target terminal device are being executed, it will be described that the processes from SC1 to SC11 regarding other terminal devices 80 are executed in parallel.

[0258] Also, in SC6, the switching control unit 92c switches each of the first control mode and the second control mode of the target terminal device from the non-operating mode to the operating mode in substantially the same manner as the process of SB6, and then proceeds to SC1.

[0259] Here, the control content in the above operating mode is arbitrary, but in the third embodiment, it enables the control of the opening / closing body 40 of the first opening / closing device 10a based on the operation information received by the first opening / closing side communication unit 71 or the second opening / closing side communication unit 72 of the first opening / closing device 10a, and enables the control of the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b based on the operation information received by the second opening / closing side communication unit 72 of the second opening / closing device 10b (however, when the target terminal device is the second terminal device 80b, although it enables the control of the opening / closing body 40 of the first opening / closing device 10a based on the above operation information, it is maintained that the control of the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b based on the above operation information is disabled).

[0260] Specifically, a first operation button 83b related to the first opening / closing device 10a is displayed on the display screen of the terminal-side output unit 83 of the target terminal device. When the first operation button 83b is operated, corresponding operation information (specifically, operation information including the first opening / closing device identification information (or / and authentication information)) is transmitted, etc., enabling control of the opening / closing body 40 of the first opening / closing device 10a. Also, a second operation button 83c related to the second opening / closing device 10b is displayed on the display screen of the terminal-side output unit 83. When the second operation button 83c is operated, operation information (specifically, operation information including the second opening / closing device identification information (or / and authentication information)) is transmitted, etc., enabling control of the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b.

[0261] In this case, the control content of the opening / closing body 40 by the first opening / closing device 10a is arbitrary. For example, when operation information is received from the terminal device 80 via the management device 90 (specifically, after further comparing the first opening / closing device identification information (or / and authentication information) included in the operation information with the identification information (or / and collation information) stored in the opening / closing side storage unit 75 of the first opening / closing device 10a), the opening / closing side control unit 74 of the first opening / closing device 10a may move the opening / closing body 40 to open or close it, or stop the opening / closing movement.

[0262] Also, the control content of the locking unit by the second opening / closing device 10b is arbitrary. For example, when operation information is directly received from the terminal device 80 (specifically, after further comparing the second opening / closing device identification information (or / and authentication information) included in the operation information with the identification information (or / and collation information) stored in the opening / closing side storage unit 75 of the second opening / closing device 10b), the opening / closing side control unit 74 of the second opening / closing device 10b may unlock the locking unit.

[0263] In SC9, the acquisition unit 92a determines, in substantially the same manner as the processing of SA9, whether end information regarding the completion of the management work related to the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities has been acquired within a predetermined time.

[0264] Then, when the acquisition unit 92a acquires the end information (SC9, Yes), it proceeds to SC10, and when it does not acquire the end information (SC9, No), it proceeds to SC1.

[0265] Also, in SC10, the switching control unit 92c switches each of the first control mode and the second control mode of the target terminal device from the working mode to the non - working mode in substantially the same manner as the processing of SB10 (that is, each time the authentication information of each terminal device 80 is verified with the first verification information by the verification unit 92b and the end information is acquired from each terminal device 80 by the acquisition unit 92a, each of the first control mode and the second control mode is switched from the working mode to the non - working mode).

[0266] Also, although the control content in the non - working mode is arbitrary, in Embodiment 3, when the end information is acquired at SC7, or when, in addition to the end information, information indicating that the opening / closing state of the first opening / closing device 10a is the fully - closed state is received from the first opening / closing device 10a, the control of the opening / closing body 40 of the first opening / closing device 10a based on the operation information received by the first opening / closing side communication unit 71 or the second opening / closing side communication unit 72 of the first opening / closing device 10a is disabled, and the control of the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b based on the operation information received by the second opening / closing side communication unit 72 of the second opening / closing device 10b is disabled.

[0267] Through the processing from SC7 to SC10 like this, it is possible to avoid the opening / closing body 40 of the first opening / closing device 10a or / and the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b from being inadvertently controlled by the operator M who has completed the management work related to the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities, and it becomes easier to ensure the security of the building.

[0268] However, not limited to the processes from SC7 to SC10, for example, when each of the first control mode and the second control mode of the target terminal device is a working mode and any one of the processes from SC1, SC7 to SC9 is being performed, if the end time of the management work related to the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities has elapsed, regardless of the collation result of the collation unit 92b and the acquisition of the end information, the process proceeds to SC10, switches from the working mode to the non-working mode. If, before the end time of the management work related to the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities has elapsed, the authentication information is collated with each of the first collation information and the second collation information by the collation unit 92b and the end information is acquired by the acquisition unit 92a, it may be switched from the working mode to the non-working mode.

[0269] Thereby, when each of the first control mode and the second control mode is a working mode, it is possible to effectively switch from the working mode to the non-working mode according to whether the end time of the management work related to the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities has elapsed, and while ensuring the security of the building, it becomes easier to efficiently perform the management work related to the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities.

[0270] Also, in SC11, the notification unit 92d notifies each terminal device 80 of notification information indicating that the end information has been acquired by the acquisition unit 92a from the target terminal device (that is, after the end information has been acquired from each terminal device 80, the notification information is notified to each terminal device 80), and then proceeds to SC1, and thereafter repeats the processes from SC1 to SC11 in the same manner.

[0271] Specifically, the notification unit 92d notifies each terminal device 80 by transmitting the notification information to each terminal device 80 via the management-side communication unit 91, causing the terminal-side output unit 83 of each terminal device 80 to display or output the notification information audibly.

[0272] Also, the content of the notification information is arbitrary, but in Embodiment 3, it is as follows.

[0273] That is, after the end information is acquired by the acquisition unit 92a from the first terminal device 80a or the second terminal device 80b held by an operator M other than the operator M who finished the management work regarding the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities second to last among the plurality of operators M, notification information indicating that fact is simply notified to each terminal device 80.

[0274] Also, while referring to the information indicating the results of the processes of SC6 and SC10 stored in the management-side storage unit 93, or the information indicating the result of the process of SC9, after the end information is acquired by the acquisition unit 92a from the first terminal device 80a or the second terminal device 80b held by the operator M who finished the management work regarding the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities second to last among the plurality of operators M, notification information indicating that fact is notified to each terminal device 80. Further, regarding the notification information notified to the first terminal device 80a or the second terminal device 80b held by the operator M who finishes the above management work last, the fact that the operator M is the last operator M is also indicated and notified. Thereby, it is possible to notify the operator M who finishes the management work regarding the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities last that the operator M is the last operator M, making it easier for the operator M to take the measures that the last operator M should take.

[0275] By such processing of SC11, it is possible to notify each terminal device 80 that each operator M has finished the management work regarding the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities, making it easier for the operator M of each terminal device 80 to grasp the progress status of the management work.

[0276] By the management processing as described above, the control mode of each terminal device 80 regarding each of the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b can be switched between the working mode and the non-working mode by the switching control unit 92c. Therefore, without the key of each operation storage unit 66 of the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b being handed over face-to-face, only a specific operator M can perform the management work regarding the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities, and it becomes possible to efficiently perform the management work regarding the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities while ensuring the security of the building.

[0277] (Management process - Specific processing content) Subsequently, the specific situations in which the management process is executed and the processing content in such cases will be described below.

[0278] That is, first, when three workers M (specifically, the first worker M1 and the second worker M2) arrive near the first opening / closing device 10a and switching timing information is transmitted from each terminal device 80 by these workers M, and it is determined that the switching timing has arrived in SC1 of FIG. 16, in SC2 of FIG. 16, the first control mode and the second control mode of each terminal device 80 are specified as non-operation modes.

[0279] Next, in order for each worker M to enter and exit the building, when authentication information is transmitted from each terminal device 80 and the authentication information is respectively acquired in SC4 of FIG. 16 and the authentication information is respectively compared with the first collation information and the second collation information in SC5 of FIG. 16, in SC6 of FIG. 16, the first control mode and the second control mode of each terminal device 80 are collectively switched from the non-operation mode to the operation mode. As a result, a first operation button 83b regarding the first opening / closing device 10a is displayed on the display screen of the terminal-side output unit 83 of each terminal device 80, so that the control of the opening / closing body 40 of the first opening / closing device 10a based on operation information is possible in each terminal device 80. In addition, a second operation button 83c regarding the second opening / closing device 10b is displayed on the display screen of the terminal-side output unit 83 of the first terminal device 80a, so that the control of the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b based on operation information is possible in the first terminal device 80a.

[0280] Thereafter, operation information indicating an operation regarding the opening / closing body 40 of the first opening / closing device 10a is transmitted from each terminal device 80, and by moving the opening / closing body 40 in an opening direction or / and in a closing direction, each worker M can enter and exit the building. Further, when the first worker M1 arrives near the second opening / closing device 10b and operation information indicating an operation regarding the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b is transmitted from the first terminal device 80a, after unlocking the locking unit, the first worker M1 operates via the operation unit 61 of the second opening / closing device 10b, and thus the first worker M1 performs management work regarding the second opening / closing device 10b. Further, when the second worker M2 arrives near other equipment, the second worker M2 performs management work regarding the other equipment.

[0281] Next, after each worker M finishes the management work regarding the second opening / closing device 10b and other equipment at different timings before the end time of the management work, and after the opening / closing body 40 of the first opening / closing device 10a is fully closed, when switching timing information is transmitted from the terminal device 80 held by the worker M who has left the building and it is determined that the switching timing has arrived at SC1 in FIG. 16, each of the first control mode and the second control mode is specified as the operation mode at SC2 in FIG. 16.

[0282] Next, when authentication information is transmitted from the terminal device 80 carried by the worker M who has exited the building, the authentication information is acquired at SC7 in FIG. 16. At SC8 in FIG. 16, the authentication information is respectively compared with each of the first collation information and the second collation information. When the end information is respectively acquired at SC9 in FIG. 16, at SC10 in FIG. 16, each of the first control mode and the second control mode of the terminal device 80 is collectively switched from the working mode to the non-working mode. As a result, the first operation button 83b regarding the first opening / closing device 10a is no longer displayed on the display screen of the terminal-side output unit 83 of the terminal device 80, so that the control of the opening / closing body 40 of the first opening / closing device 10a based on the operation information becomes impossible in each terminal device 80. Further, when the terminal device 80 is the first terminal device 80a, the second operation button 83c regarding the second opening / closing device 10b is no longer displayed on the display screen of the terminal-side output unit 83 of the first terminal device 80a, so that the control of the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b becomes impossible in the first terminal device 80a.

[0283] Furthermore, when end information is acquired from the terminal device 80 carried by the worker M who has exited the building at SC11 in FIG. 16, notification information is notified to each terminal device 80, so that it becomes easier for the worker M of each terminal device 80 to grasp the progress status of the management work regarding the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities. In particular, when the worker M who holds the terminal device 80 is the worker M who has finished the management work regarding the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities second from the last, notification information indicating that the worker M is the last worker M is notified to the worker M who finishes the management work regarding the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities last, so that it becomes easier for the worker M to take measures that the last worker M should take.

[0284] By performing a series of processes regarding the terminal device 80 carried by the worker M who has exited the building as described above for each worker M, it is possible to avoid the opening / closing body 40 of the first opening / closing device 10a or / and the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b from operating inadvertently, and it becomes easier to grasp the progress status of the management work regarding the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities for each worker M.

[0285] With such control content, it becomes possible for only a specific operator M to perform management work related to the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities without directly handing over the keys of the operation storage parts 66 of each of the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b.

[0286] (Effect of Embodiment 3) As described above, according to Embodiment 3, the working mode of the terminal device 80 related to the first opening / closing device 10a enables the control of the opening / closing body 40 of the first opening / closing device 10a based on the operation information received by the first opening / closing side communication part 71 or the second opening / closing side communication part 72 of the first opening / closing device 10a. Therefore, the opening / closing body 40 of the first opening / closing device 10a can be operated using the terminal device 80, and management work related to the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities can be reliably performed using the terminal device 80. Also, the non-working mode of the terminal device 80 related to the first opening / closing device 10a disables the control of the opening / closing body 40 of the first opening / closing device 10a based on the operation information received by the first opening / closing side communication part 71 or the second opening / closing side communication part 72 of the first opening / closing device 10a. Thus, it is possible to prevent the opening / closing body 40 of the first opening / closing device 10a from being inadvertently operated, and the reliability of the control of the opening / closing body 40 can be enhanced.

[0287] Also, the authentication information of each of the plurality of terminal devices 80 is made different from each other. When the control mode of each terminal device 80 related to the first opening / closing device 10a or / and the second opening / closing device 10b is the working mode, the switching control part 92c collates the authentication information of each terminal device 80 with the collation information, and each time end information is acquired from each of these terminal devices 80, switches the control mode of each of these terminal devices 80 from the working mode to the non-working mode. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the opening / closing body 40 of the first opening / closing device 10a or / and the locking part of the second opening / closing device 10b from being inadvertently controlled by the operator M who has completed the management work related to the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities, and it becomes easier to ensure the security of the building.

[0288] In addition, since the notification unit 92d that notifies the notification information to each terminal device 80 is provided after the end information is acquired from each terminal device 80, it is possible to notify each terminal device 80 that each operator M has finished the management work regarding the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities, and it becomes easier for the operator M of each terminal device 80 to grasp the progress status of the management work.

[0289] In addition, after the end information is acquired from the terminal device 80 held by the operator M who finished the management work regarding the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities second from the last among the plurality of operators M, the notification unit 92d notifies the terminal device 80 held by the operator M who finishes the management work last of the notification information indicating that the operator M is the last operator M. Therefore, it is possible to notify the operator M who finishes the management work last that the operator M is the last operator M, and it becomes easier for the operator M to take the measures that the last operator M should take.

[0290] [III] Modification Examples of the Embodiment As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described. However, the specific configurations and means of the present invention can be arbitrarily modified and improved within the scope of the technical idea of each invention described in the claims. Hereinafter, such modification examples will be described.

[0291] (Regarding the problems to be solved and the effects of the invention) First, the problems to be solved and the effects of the invention are not limited to the above-described content. By the present invention, it is also possible to solve problems not described above or to exhibit effects not described above. Also, it may solve only some of the described problems or exhibit only some of the described effects.

[0292] (Regarding dispersion and integration) In addition, each of the above-described electrical components is a functional concept and does not necessarily have to be physically configured as shown in the drawings. That is, the specific forms of dispersion and integration of each part are not limited to those shown in the drawings, and all or part of them can be functionally or physically dispersed or integrated in any unit according to various loads, usage situations, etc. Also, the "device" in the present application is not limited to being constituted by a single device, but includes those constituted by a plurality of devices. For example, the management device 90 may be configured to be dispersed among a plurality of devices capable of communicating with each other, a management-side control unit 92 may be provided in a part of these plurality of devices, and a management-side storage unit 93 may be provided in another part of these plurality of devices.

[0293] (Regarding shape, numerical value, structure, time series) Regarding the components exemplified in the embodiments and the drawings, with respect to the shape, numerical value, or the structure or time series mutual relationship of a plurality of components, arbitrary modifications and improvements can be made within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.

[0294] (Regarding the object of management work) In the above-described Embodiment 1, it was explained that the object of the management work is the opening / closing device 10, but it is not limited to this. For example, it may be other facilities, or it may be the opening / closing device 10 and other facilities (note that the object of the management work according to Embodiment 2 is substantially the same).

[0295] Also, in the above-described Embodiment 3, it was explained that the object of the management work is the second opening / closing device 10b and other facilities, but it is not limited to this. For example, it may be only the second opening / closing device 10b. In this case, management work regarding only the second opening / closing device 10b may be performed by a plurality of workers M.

[0296] (Regarding the opening / closing device) In the above-described Embodiment 1, it was described that the opening / closing device 10 includes a locking unit. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the locking unit may be omitted. In this case, when the control mode of the terminal device 80 is the work mode, only the control of the opening / closing body 40 of the opening / closing device 10 based on the operation information may be enabled, and when the control mode of the terminal device 80 is the non-work mode, the control of the opening / closing body 40 based on the operation information may be disabled.

[0297] (Regarding the management device) In the above-described Embodiment 3, it was described that the management device 90 includes the notification unit 92d. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the notification unit 92d may be omitted. In this case, the SC11 of the first switching process may be omitted.

[0298] (Regarding the management process) In the above-described Embodiment 1, it was described that the process of SA9 is performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the process of SA9 may be omitted (that is, in the management process according to Embodiment 1, the switching control unit 92c may switch the control mode of the terminal device 80 between the work mode and the non-work mode based only on the collation result of the collation unit 92b). Similarly, the process of SB9 according to Embodiment 2 or / and the process of SC9 according to Embodiment 3 may also be omitted.

[0299] Also, in Embodiment 1, it was described that the switching control unit 92c switches from the non-work mode to the work mode when the authentication information and the collation information are collated when the control mode of the terminal device 80 is the non-work mode. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the authentication information and the collation information are collated and the acquisition unit 92a acquires start information regarding the start of the management work, the mode may be switched from the non-work mode to the work mode (the same applies to Embodiments 2 and 3).

[0300] In addition, in Embodiment 1, it was described that when the control mode of the terminal device 80 is the work mode and any one of the processes of SA1, SA7 to SA9 is being performed, if the end time of the management work related to the opening / closing device 10 has elapsed, the switching control unit 92c shifts to SA10 regardless of the collation result of the collation unit 92b and the acquisition of the end information, and switches the control mode from the work mode to the non-work mode. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the control mode of the terminal device 80 is the work mode and any one of the processes of SA1, SA7 to SA9 is being performed, even if the end time of the management work related to the opening / closing device 10 has elapsed, the work mode may be maintained until the authentication information and the collation information are collated by the collation unit 92b and the end information is acquired by the acquisition unit 92a. Alternatively, when extension application information for extending the end time of the management work by a predetermined time is received from the terminal device 80, even if the end time of the management work related to the opening / closing device 10 has elapsed, the work mode may be maintained for the above-mentioned predetermined time (the same applies to Embodiments 2 and 3).

[0301] In addition, in Embodiment 2, it was described that according to the control mode of the terminal device 80 related to the second opening / closing device 10b, the control of the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b is made possible or impossible. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the control of the opening / closing body 40 of the second opening / closing device 10b may be made possible or impossible, or the control of the opening / closing body 40 and the locking unit of the second opening / closing device 10b may be made possible or impossible (the same applies to Embodiment 3).

[0302] In addition, in the above-described Second Embodiment, in SB5, it is determined whether or not the authentication information acquired in SB4 matches each of the first collation information and the second collation information acquired by a predetermined method. When they match, in SB6, it was described that each of the first control mode and the second control mode is collectively switched from the non-operation mode to the operation mode. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, authentication information is acquired, the authentication information is collated with the first collation information, and when they match, the first control mode is switched from the non-operation mode to the operation mode, and authentication information is acquired, the authentication information is collated with the second collation information, and when they match, the second control mode is switched from the non-operation mode to the operation mode may be individually performed at different timings (note that the processes from SB8 to SB10, the processes of SC5 and SC6, and the processes from SC8 to SC10 are substantially the same).

[0303] In addition, in the above-described Second Embodiment, in SB9, it was described that it is determined whether or not end information indicating that the management work regarding the first opening / closing device 10a and the second opening / closing device 10b has ended is acquired. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the end information indicating that the management work regarding the first opening / closing device 10a has ended and the end information indicating that the management work regarding the second opening / closing device 10b has ended are individually acquired at different timings, and the process of SB9 is repeated until all of these end information is acquired. When all of these end information is acquired, the process may proceed to SB10.

The working mode of the terminal device regarding the first opening / closing device enables control of the opening / closing body of the first opening / closing device based on the operation information received by the communication means of the first opening / closing device, and the non-working mode of the terminal device regarding the first opening / closing device disables control of the opening / closing body of the first opening / closing device based on the operation information received by the communication means of the first opening / closing device.

[0309] The management device according to Supplementary Note 6 is the management device according to Supplementary Note 5, wherein the working mode of the terminal device regarding the second opening / closing device enables control of the locking means of the second opening / closing device based on the operation information received by the communication means of the second opening / closing device, and the non-working mode of the terminal device regarding the second opening / closing device disables control of the locking means of the second opening / closing device based on the operation information received by the communication means of the second opening / closing device.

[0310] The management device of Supplementary Note 7 is the management device described in Supplementary Note 5 or 6. When the control mode of the terminal device for each of the first opening / closing device and the second opening / closing device is the work mode, if the authentication information and the collation information are collated by the collation means, and at least the end information indicating that all the management operations have been completed is acquired by the acquisition means, the control mode is switched from the work mode to the non-work mode.

[0311] The management device of Supplementary Note 8 is the management device described in any one of Supplementary Notes 5 to 7. When at least the management operation of the second opening / closing device is performed using a plurality of the terminal devices held by a plurality of the workers, the authentication information of each of the plurality of terminal devices is made different from each other. When the control mode of each terminal device related to the first opening / closing device or / and the second opening / closing device is the work mode, if the authentication information of each terminal device and the collation information are collated by the collation means, and every time the end information is acquired from each of the terminal devices by the acquisition means, the control mode of each of the terminal devices is switched from the work mode to the non-work mode.

[0312] The management device of Supplementary Note 9 is the management device described in Supplementary Note 8, and includes a notification means for notifying each of the terminal devices of notification information indicating that after the end information has been acquired from each of the terminal devices by the acquisition means.

[0313] The management device of Supplementary Note 10 is the management device described in Supplementary Note 9. After the end information has been acquired from the terminal device held by the worker who finished the management operation second last among the plurality of workers by the acquisition means, the notification means notifies the terminal device held by the worker who finishes the management operation last of the notification information indicating that the worker is the last worker.

[0314] The management system of Supplementary Note 11 is a management system for managing an opening / closing device provided in an opening of a building, and includes a management device described in any one of Supplementary Notes 1 to 10, and a terminal device possessed by an operator who performs management work related to the opening / closing device or / and other equipment other than the opening / closing device, and is a terminal device capable of directly or indirectly communicating with each of the management device and the opening / closing device.

[0315] The management program of Supplementary Note 12 is a management program for causing a management device that manages an opening / closing device provided in an opening of a building to execute, and causes a computer to function as an acquisition means for acquiring authentication information from a terminal device possessed by an operator who performs management work related to the opening / closing device or / and other equipment other than the opening / closing device, a collation means for collating the authentication information acquired by the acquisition means with collation information acquired by a predetermined method, and a switching control means for switching the control mode of the terminal device between a work mode that enables the performance of the management work and a non-work mode that disables the performance of the management work, based at least on the collation result of the collation means.

[0316] (Effect of Supplementary Note) According to the management device described in Supplementary Note 1, the management system described in Supplementary Note 11, and the management program described in Supplementary Note 12, there is provided a switching control means for switching the control mode of the terminal device between a work mode that enables the performance of management work related to the opening / closing device or / and other equipment and a non-work mode that disables the performance of the management work, based at least on the collation result of the collation means. Therefore, it is possible to switch the control mode of the terminal device between the work mode and the non-work mode by the switching control means. Thus, only a specific operator can perform the above management work without face-to-face transfer of the key of the storage means of the opening / closing device, and it is possible to efficiently perform the above management work while ensuring the security of the building.

[0317] According to the management device described in Supplementary Note 2, when the control mode of the terminal device is the non-operation mode, if the authentication information and the collation information are collated, the switching control means switches the control mode from the non-operation mode to the operation mode. Therefore, the switching can be easily performed, and it is possible to avoid the control related to the switching becoming complicated. Further, when the control mode of the terminal device is the operation mode, if the authentication information and the collation information are collated and the end information is acquired, the switching control means switches the control mode from the operation mode to the non-operation mode. Therefore, it is possible to avoid erroneously performing the switching, and it becomes easier to ensure the reliability of the control related to the switching.

[0318] According to the management device described in Supplementary Note 3, when the control mode of the terminal device is the operation mode, if the end time of the management work has elapsed, the switching control means switches the control mode from the operation mode to the non-operation mode regardless of the collation result of the collation means and the acquisition of the end information. If the authentication information and the collation information are collated and the end information is acquired before the end time of the management work has elapsed, the switching control means switches the control mode from the operation mode to the non-operation mode. Therefore, when the control mode of the terminal device is the operation mode, it is possible to effectively perform the switching from the operation mode to the non-operation mode according to whether the end time of the management work has elapsed, and it becomes easier to efficiently perform the management work while ensuring the security of the building.

[0319] According to the management device described in Supplementary Note 4, since the operation mode enables the control of the opening / closing body and / or the locking means based on the operation information received by the communication means, the opening / closing body and / or the locking means can be operated using the terminal device, and the management work can be surely performed using the terminal device. Further, since the non-operation mode disables the control of the opening / closing body and / or the locking means based on the operation information received by the communication means, it is possible to prevent the opening / closing body and / or the locking means from being inadvertently operated, and it is possible to enhance the reliability of the control of the opening / closing body and / or the locking means.

[0320] According to the management device described in Supplementary Note 5, the working mode of the terminal device related to the first opening / closing device enables the control of the opening / closing body of the first opening / closing device based on the operation information received by the communication means of the first opening / closing device. Therefore, the opening / closing body of the first opening / closing device can be operated using the terminal device, and the above management work can be reliably performed using the terminal device. Also, the non-working mode of the terminal device related to the first opening / closing device disables the control of the opening / closing body of the first opening / closing device based on the operation information received by the communication means of the first opening / closing device. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the opening / closing body of the first opening / closing device from operating inadvertently, and the reliability of the control of the opening / closing body can be enhanced.

[0321] According to the management device described in Supplementary Note 6, the working mode of the terminal device related to the second opening / closing device enables the control of the locking means of the second opening / closing device based on the operation information received by the communication means of the second opening / closing device. The locking means of the second opening / closing device can be operated using the terminal device, and the above management work can be reliably performed using the terminal device. Also, the non-working mode of the terminal device related to the second opening / closing device disables the control of the locking means of the second opening / closing device based on the operation information received by the communication means of the second opening / closing device. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the locking means of the second opening / closing device from operating inadvertently, and the reliability of the control of the locking means can be enhanced.

[0322] According to the management device described in Supplementary Note 7, when the control mode of the terminal device related to each of the first opening / closing device and the second opening / closing device is the working mode, the switching control means switches the control mode from the working mode to the non-working mode when the authentication information and the collation information are collated and at least the end information indicating that all the above management work has been completed is acquired. Therefore, the switching from the working mode to the non-working mode of the terminal device related to each of the first opening / closing device and the second opening / closing device can be quickly performed, and it is easy to avoid the above management work being hindered by the first opening / closing device or the second opening / closing device. Thus, the above management work can be efficiently performed.

[0323] According to the management device described in Supplementary Note 8, the authentication information of each of the plurality of terminal devices is made different from each other. When the control mode of each terminal device regarding the first opening / closing device or / and the second opening / closing device is the working mode, the switching control means collates the authentication information of each terminal device with the collation information, and every time end information is acquired from each of the terminal devices, switches the control mode of each of the terminal devices from the working mode to the non-working mode. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the opening / closing body of the first opening / closing device or / and the locking means of the second opening / closing device being inadvertently controlled by an operator who has finished the management work regarding at least the second opening / closing device, and it becomes easier to ensure the security of the building.
