Therefore, with the information processing system 100 and the entry / exit management system 900 of the present embodiment, it is possible to improve convenience.

[0019] (2) Details Hereinafter, the information processing system 100 and the entry / exit management system 900 according to the embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

[0020] As described above, the entry / exit management system 900 includes an information processing system 100, a first management system 200, and a second management system 300. The entry / exit management system 900 is introduced into the facility F1.

[0021] (2.1) Facility The facility F1 where the entry / exit management system 900 is introduced can be, for example, an appropriate building or square. In this embodiment, an office building is assumed as the facility F1. Note that the facility F1 is not limited to an office building. The facility F1 only needs to be able to have a management area A1 and a proprietary area A10 set therein. For example, it may be a store, factory, park, school, hospital, hotel, commercial facility, nursing facility, movie theater, art museum, museum, amusement facility, theme park, airport, railway station, stadium, or event venue, etc. Also, the facility F1 is not limited to non-residential facilities and may be a residential facility such as an apartment building, or a complex facility where the lower floors are stores and the middle and upper floors are apartment buildings.

[0022] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the facility F1 includes an entrance E1 (entrance) for a person (facility user H1) to enter and exit the facility F1. The entrance E1 includes the front entrance and may further include a back entrance (side entrance), an emergency exit, etc. Doors such as automatic doors and manual doors are provided at the entrance E1.

[0023] Within the facility F1, a public area A0 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) that can be freely used by any person (facility user H1) may be set in the area connected to the entrance E1. The public area A0 includes, for example, an entrance hall, a lobby, a lounge, a corridor, a washroom, etc.

[0024] A management area A1 is set within the facility F1. The management area A1 is an area where the entry and exit of a person (facility user H1) are managed by the first management system 200.

[0025] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, at the entrance of the management area A1, for example, at the boundary between the management area A1 and the public area A0, a gate 201 (security gate) for managing the entry and exit of people into and out of the management area A1 (entry from the public area A0 to the management area A1 and exit from the management area A1 to the public area A0) is installed. The gate 201 is a device that permits passage only to those people (facility users H1) authenticated by the first management system 200. The gate 201 is, for example, a flap gate equipped with a flap (door). The opening and closing of the door of the gate 201 are controlled by the first management system 200 (control panel 204 described later).

[0026] As shown in FIG. 3, near the gate 201 or in the vicinity of the gate 201, an authentication information acquisition device 202 (hereinafter also referred to as the "first authentication information acquisition device 202") is installed. The first authentication information acquisition device 202 is a device that acquires authentication information (hereinafter also referred to as "first authentication information") for authenticating the facility user H1 who intends to pass through the gate 201. The first authentication information is information associated with the facility user H1 and is, for example, identification information assigned to the facility user H1. The identification information may include, for example, temporary or non-temporary identification information assigned to a card (such as an IC card) or an information terminal (such as a mobile terminal or a smartphone) possessed by the facility user H1. The first authentication information acquisition device 202 may include a reader (card reader) or the like capable of acquiring the identification information.

[0027] Within the facility F1, one or more exclusive areas A10 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) are further set within the management area A1. The exclusive area A10 is an area included within the management area A1 (a part of the management area A1). The management area A1 may further include areas other than the exclusive area A10. Hereinafter, the area of the management area A1 other than the exclusive area A10 is also referred to as the "shared area A20". The shared area A20 may include, for example, corridors, stairways, elevators, washrooms, etc. within the management area A1.

[0028] In the shared area A20 (the area other than the exclusive area A10 in the management area A1), there may be further provided gates other than the gate 201 (hereinafter also referred to as "additional gates"), an electric lock for locking and unlocking the door provided in the shared area A20, and an authentication information acquisition device (hereinafter also referred to as "additional authentication information acquisition device") for authenticating the facility user H1 who attempts to pass through the additional gate or the door.

[0029] The exclusive area A10 is an area in the management area A1 that is exclusively occupied by persons other than the administrator of the facility F1. In this embodiment, since the facility F1 is an office building, the exclusive area A10 can be, for example, a section (such as a room) within the management area A1 leased to a tenant under a lease contract. In the present disclosure, for convenience, the person (tenant) who manages the exclusive area A10 is also referred to as the "administrator". The usage of the exclusive area A10 by the tenant is not particularly limited, and the exclusive area A10 may be, for example, an office, a store, or a warehouse.

[0030] (2.2) First management system The first management system 200 is a system for managing the entry and exit of persons (facility users H1) to and from the management area A1.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 1, the first management system 200 includes a management server 2 and a first terminal 203. The first management system 200 further includes the above-described gate 201 and a first authentication information acquisition device 202. The first management system 200 further includes a control panel 204 (hereinafter also referred to as "first control panel 204") for controlling the opening and closing of the gate 201.

[0032] Here, the first management system 200 controls the permission and prohibition of the facility user H1 from entering the management area A1 by controlling the opening and closing of the door of the gate 201 by the first control panel 204.

[0033] Specifically, the first control panel 204 of the first management system 200 performs authentication based on the first authentication information acquired by the first authentication information acquisition device 202, and controls the opening and closing of the door of the gate 201 based on the authentication result.

[0034] The first control panel 204 includes a storage unit that stores reference data. The reference data is data for authenticating the facility user H1 who attempts to enter the management area A1. The reference data is compared with the first authentication information acquired by the first authentication information acquisition device 202 and is used to determine whether the first authentication information is valid or invalid. Hereinafter, the reference data compared with the first authentication information is also referred to as "first reference data". In short, the first reference data is data indicating the facility user H1 who is permitted to enter the management area A1 of the facility F1.

[0035] When entry into the management area A1 is permitted for a plurality of facility users H1, that is, when first authentication information is associated with each of the plurality of facility users H1, a plurality of first reference data corresponding one-to-one to the plurality of first authentication information is stored in the storage unit of the first control panel 204.

[0036] In the storage unit of the first control panel 204, a plurality of first reference data and the distinction between valid or invalid for each first reference data are stored in the form of a data table Ta11 shown in FIG. 4, for example. In the example shown in FIG. 4, this information is associated with first system information (for example, name information such as "system B1") indicating the first management system 200 introduced into the management area A1 of this facility F1. In the example of FIG. 4, five first reference data (for example, "001" to "005") and the distinction between valid or invalid for each first reference data are stored in association with the first system information (for example, "system B1").

[0037] The first control panel 204 performs authentication in response to the acquisition of the first authentication information by the first authentication information acquisition device 202 and generates an authentication result. The authentication result may include either the establishment or non-establishment of the authentication.

[0038] The establishment of authentication may mean that the acquired first authentication information matches any of the valid first reference data among a plurality of first reference data. The non - establishment of authentication may mean that the acquired first authentication information does not match any of the valid first reference data among a plurality of first reference data.

[0039] When the authentication is established, the first control panel 204 opens the door of the gate 201 and permits the facility user H1 who has performed the authentication to enter or exit the management area A1. On the other hand, when the authentication is not established (fails), the first control panel 204 closes the door of the gate 201 and prohibits the facility user H1 who has performed the authentication from entering or exiting the management area A1. Even when the authentication operation itself is not performed due to reasons such as the first authentication information acquisition device 202 being unable to receive the first authentication information, the first control panel 204 may close the door of the gate 201 and prohibit the facility user H1 from entering and exiting the management area A1.

[0040] In short, the first management system 200 performs the authentication of the facility user H1 at least at one of the time of entry into and exit from the management area A1 of the facility user H1 using the authentication information (first authentication information) associated with the facility user H1. The first management system 200 permits the entry or exit of the facility user H1 to or from the management area A1 only when the authentication information (first authentication information) is set as valid in the authentication.

[0041] The first control panel 204 stores the first result information in the storage unit. The first result information includes information on the authentication result (established or not established) based on the first authentication information and the first reference data. When the authentication is established, the first result information further includes the first reference data (first authentication information) used for the authentication. The first result information may further include information (related information) such as the time when the first authentication information was acquired, the device (first authentication information acquisition device 202) that acquired the first authentication information, and the installation location of the device. The first control panel 204 stores the first result information in the storage unit each time the authentication is performed. The first control panel 204 transmits the first result information to the management server 2 at an appropriate timing (for example, periodically).

[0042] The management server 2 is installed, for example, in the management room of the facility F1. The management server 2 includes a processing unit, a storage unit, and a communication unit.

[0043] The storage unit includes a rewritable non-volatile memory such as an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory). Various types of information are stored in the storage unit. The storage unit may be used as the memory of the processing unit.

[0044] In the storage unit of the management server 2, for example, a data table Ta11 similar to the data table Ta11 (a data table Ta11 indicating whether a plurality of first comparison data is valid or invalid; see FIG. 4) stored in the storage unit of the first control panel 204 is stored.

[0045] The communication unit includes a communication interface for communicating with the information processing system 100 via the communication network NT1. The communication network NT1 may include the Internet, a telephone network, etc. The communication network NT1 may be composed of not only a network compliant with a single communication protocol but also a plurality of networks compliant with different communication protocols. The communication protocol can be selected from various well-known wired and wireless communication standards. Although simplified in FIG. 1, the communication network NT1 may include data communication devices such as a repeater hub, a switching hub, a bridge, a gateway, and a router. The communication unit also includes a communication interface for communicating with the first control panel 204. The communication unit includes a communication interface for communicating with the first terminal 203. At least a part of these communication interfaces may be shared.

[0046] The processing unit controls the overall management server 2. Also, the processing unit performs various processes. The processing unit includes a computer system having one or more processors and a memory. At least some functions of the processing unit are realized by the processor of the computer system executing a program recorded in the memory of the computer system. The program may be recorded in the memory, may be provided through a telecommunication line such as the Internet, or may be provided by being recorded on a non-transitory recording medium such as a memory card.

[0047] The management server 2 acquires first result information from the first control panel 204.

[0048] The management server 2 generates first entry / exit information D1. The management server 2 generates the first entry / exit information D1 based on the first result information acquired from the first control panel 204.

[0049] The first entry / exit information D1 is information related to at least one of the entry into and exit from the management area A1 of the facility user H1. The first entry / exit information D1 may include the first result information. Therefore, the first entry / exit information D1 may include information on the history of the facility user H1 passing through the gate 201.

[0050] When a plurality of facility users H1 perform authentication using the first authentication information respectively associated with themselves, the first entry / exit information D1 may include a plurality of first result information related to the plurality of first authentication information. The first entry / exit information D1 may include information on the authentication history for each of the plurality of facility users H1 performed in the first management system 200.

[0051] The management server 2 outputs the generated first entry / exit information D1. The management server 2 outputs the first entry / exit information D1 to the information processing system 100. Also, the management server 2 outputs the first entry / exit information D1 to the first terminal 203.

[0052] The management server 2 acquires information (hereinafter also referred to as "first update information") for updating a plurality of first reference data from the information processing system 100. The first update information includes, for example, first designation information for designating the validity or invalidity of at least one of the plurality of first reference data. In other words, the first designation information is information for changing the setting of the validity or invalidity of the first authentication information of a specific facility user H1 among the plurality of facility users H1.

[0053] The management server 2 updates the data table Ta11 (see FIG. 4) stored in the storage unit based on the acquired first update information. The management server 2 changes the setting of the validity or invalidity of a specific first reference data based on the first designation information.

[0054] In addition, the management server 2 outputs the acquired first update information to the first control panel 204, and causes the first control panel 204 to update the data table Ta11 (see FIG. 4) stored in the storage unit of the first control panel 204.

[0055] The first terminal 203 is installed, for example, in the management room of the facility F1. The first terminal 203 is a terminal used by an administrator who performs the management work of the facility F1 in the management room.

[0056] The first terminal 203 includes a presentation unit (display, microphone, etc.) for presenting information to the user (administrator) of the first terminal 203, an operation unit (touch pad, button, etc.) for receiving operations from the user, and the like.

[0057] The first terminal 203 acquires the first entry / exit information D1 from the management server 2. The first terminal 203 presents the acquired first entry / exit information D1 by means of a presenting unit. For example, the first terminal 203 outputs a transmission request for requesting the transmission of the first entry / exit information D1 to the management server 2 in response to an appropriate operation by the user on the operation unit. When receiving the transmission request, the management server 2 generates the first entry / exit information D1 according to the transmission request, and outputs the generated first entry / exit information D1 to the first terminal 203. When receiving the first entry / exit information D1, the management server 2 presents the received first entry / exit information D1 by means of a presenting unit. Thereby, the administrator can confirm the first entry / exit information D1.

[0058] When an additional gate or an electric lock, and an additional authentication information acquisition device are provided in the shared area A20, the first management system 200 may further include an additional control panel that performs authentication based on the authentication information acquired by the additional authentication information acquisition device. Since the function of the additional control panel is substantially the same as the function of the first control panel 204, detailed description thereof is omitted. The additional control panel outputs the authentication result and its related information to the management server 2.

[0059] (2.3) The second management system The second management system 300 is a system for managing the entry and exit of people (facility users H1) to and from the exclusive area A10. The second management system 300 is introduced, for example, after a tenant (manager) leases the exclusive area A10, so that the tenant manages the entry and exit of people (facility users H1; for example, employees) to and from the exclusive area A10.

[0060] When a plurality of exclusive areas A10 are set within the management area A1 as shown in FIG. 2, one second management system 300 can be introduced for each of the exclusive areas A10. Of course, depending on the tenant's intention, there may be an exclusive area A10 in which the second management system 300 is not introduced. In the example of FIG. 1, two exclusive areas A10 are set within the management area A1 in which the first management system 200 is introduced, and two second management systems 300 are introduced for the two exclusive areas A10. Hereinafter, when distinguishing between the two second management systems 300, they are denoted as the second management systems 3001 and 3002. Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, the description will focus on the second management system 300 (3001) provided for one exclusive area A10.

[0061] As shown in FIG. 1, the second management system 300 (3001) includes an electric lock 301 and an authentication information acquisition device 302. The second management system 300 (3001) further includes a second terminal 303. The second management system 300 further includes a control panel 304 (hereinafter, also referred to as the "second control panel 304") that controls the locking and unlocking of the electric lock 301.

[0062] As shown in FIG. 3, at the entrance of each exclusive area A10, for example, at the boundary between the exclusive area A10 and the shared area A20, a door for a person to enter and exit the exclusive area A10 (entry from the shared area A20 to the exclusive area A10 and exit from the exclusive area A10 to the shared area A20) is installed. The electric lock 301 is provided on this door.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 3, the authentication information acquisition device 302 (hereinafter also referred to as the "second authentication information acquisition device 302") is installed on the door where the electric lock 301 is provided or in the vicinity of the door. The second authentication information acquisition device 302 is a device that acquires authentication information (hereinafter also referred to as "second authentication information") for authenticating the facility user H1 who attempts to lock or unlock the electric lock 301. The second authentication information is information associated with the facility user H1, and for example, it is identification information assigned to the facility user H1. The identification information may include, for example, temporary or non-temporary identification information assigned to a card or information terminal held by the facility user H1. The second authentication information acquisition device 302 may include a reader or the like capable of acquiring identification information. As the second authentication information, the same information as the first authentication information may be used.

[0064] The second management system 300 controls the permission and prohibition of the facility user H1's entry into the exclusive area A10 by controlling the locking and unlocking of the electric lock 301 by the second control panel 304.

[0065] Specifically, the second control panel 304 of the second management system 300 performs authentication based on the second authentication information acquired by the second authentication information acquisition device 302, and controls the locking and unlocking of the electric lock 301 based on the authentication result.

[0066] The second control panel 304 includes a storage unit that stores reference data. The reference data is data for authenticating the facility user H1 who attempts to enter the exclusive area A10. The reference data is compared with the second authentication information acquired by the second authentication information acquisition device 302 and is used to determine whether the second authentication information is valid or invalid. Hereinafter, the reference data compared with the second authentication information is also referred to as "second reference data". In short, the second reference data is data indicating the facility user H1 whose entry into the exclusive area A10 is permitted.

[0067] When the same information as the first authentication information is used as the second authentication information, the second reference data is substantially the same as the first reference data.

[0068] When entry into the exclusive area A10 is permitted for a plurality of facility users H1, that is, when second authentication information is associated with each of the plurality of facility users H1, a plurality of second reference data corresponding one-to-one to the plurality of second authentication information is stored in the storage unit of the second control panel 304.

[0069] In the storage unit of the second control panel 304, the plurality of second reference data and whether each second reference data is valid or invalid are stored in the form of a data table Ta21 shown in FIG. 5, for example. In the example shown in FIG. 5, this information is associated with second system information (for example, name information called "system B11") indicating the second management system 300 introduced into this exclusive area A10. In the example of FIG. 5, two second reference data (for example, "I", "II") and whether each second reference data is valid or invalid are stored in association with the second system information (for example, "system B11").

[0070] The second control panel 304 performs authentication in response to the acquisition of the second authentication information by the second authentication information acquisition device 302 and generates an authentication result. The authentication result may include either the success or failure of the authentication.

[0071] The success of the authentication may mean that the acquired second authentication information matches any of the valid second reference data among the plurality of second reference data. The failure of the authentication may mean that the acquired second authentication information does not match any of the valid second reference data among the plurality of second reference data.

[0072] When the authentication is successful, the second control panel 304 unlocks the electric lock 301 and permits the facility user who performed the authentication to enter the exclusive area A10. On the other hand, when the authentication fails (is unsuccessful), the second control panel 304 locks the electric lock 301 and prohibits the facility user H1 who performed the authentication from entering the exclusive area A10. Even when the authentication operation itself is not performed due to a cause such as the second authentication information acquisition device 302 being unable to receive the second authentication information, the second control panel 304 may lock the electric lock 301 and prohibit the facility user from entering the exclusive area A10.

[0073] In short, the second management system 300 authenticates the facility user H1 at least at one of the time of entry into and exit from the exclusive area A10 of the facility user H1 using the authentication information (second authentication information) associated with the facility user H1. The second management system 300 permits the entry or exit of the facility user H1 to / from the exclusive area A10 only when the authentication information (second authentication information) is set as valid in the authentication.

[0074] The second control panel 304 stores the second result information in the storage unit. The second result information includes information on the authentication result (established or not established) based on the second authentication information and the second comparison data. When the authentication is established, the second result information further includes the second comparison data (second authentication information) used in the authentication. The second result information may further include information such as the time when the second authentication information was acquired, the device (second authentication information acquisition device 302) that acquired the second authentication information, and the installation location of the device (related information). The second control panel 304 stores the second result information in the storage unit each time authentication is performed. The second control panel 304 transmits the second result information to the information processing system 100 at an appropriate timing (for example, periodically).

[0075] Note that another second management system 300 (3002) may be introduced into another exclusive area A10 within the management area A1. In the storage unit of the second control panel 304 in this another second management system 3002, second comparison data for authenticating the facility user H1 who attempts to enter this exclusive area A10 is stored. For example, in the storage unit of this second control panel 304, a plurality of second comparison data and the distinction between valid or invalid for each second comparison data are associated with second system information (for example, name information such as "System B12") indicating the second management system 300 (3002) introduced into this exclusive area A10 and stored in the form of the data table Ta22 shown in FIG. 6. In the example of FIG. 6, two second comparison data (for example, "III", "IV") and the distinction between valid or invalid for each second comparison data are stored in association with the second system information (for example, "System B12").

[0076] The second terminal 303 is installed, for example, within the exclusive area A10 to be managed by the second management system 300. The second terminal 303 is a terminal used by the administrator of the second management system 300 (tenant of the exclusive area A10).

[0077] The second terminal 303 includes a presentation unit (such as a display, a microphone, etc.) for presenting information to the user of the second terminal 303 (the administrator of the second management system 300), an operation unit (such as a touch pad, buttons, etc.) for receiving operations from the user, and the like.

[0078] The second terminal 303 acquires the second entry / exit information D2 from the information processing system 100. The second terminal 303 presents the acquired second entry / exit information D2 by means of the presentation unit. Further, the second terminal 303 acquires third entry / exit information from the information processing system 100. The second terminal 303 presents the acquired third entry / exit information D3 by means of the presentation unit. The second entry / exit information D2 and the third entry / exit information will be described later.

[0079] The second terminal 303 generates information (hereinafter also referred to as "second update information") for updating a plurality of second reference data in response to appropriate operations by the user on the operation unit, and outputs the generated second update information to the information processing system 100. The second update information includes, for example, second designation information for designating the validity or invalidity of at least one of the plurality of second reference data. In other words, the second designation information is information for changing the setting of the validity or invalidity of the second authentication information of a specific facility user H1 among the plurality of facility users H1.

[0080] (2.4) Information Processing System The information processing system 100 includes one or more server devices. Although the information processing system 100 is assumed to be composed of a single server device, it may be composed of two or more server devices, and such server devices may build, for example, a cloud (cloud computing). When the information processing system 100 is composed of two or more server devices, a plurality of functions of the information processing system 100 may be provided distributively to two or more server devices. In the present embodiment, as an example, it is assumed that all of the plurality of functions of the information processing system 100 are provided in one server 1. The server 1 is installed, for example, in a data center outside the facility F1.

[0081] As shown in FIG. 1, the server 1 includes a processing unit 10, a communication unit 101, and a storage unit 102.

[0082] The communication unit 101 includes a communication interface for communicating with the first management system 200 and the second management system 300 via the communication network NT1. The communication unit 101 communicates with the management server 2 of the first management system 200. Also, the communication unit 101 communicates with the second terminal 303 of the second management system 300. Also, the communication unit 101 communicates with the second control panel 304 of the second management system 300.

[0083] The storage unit 102 includes a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), or an EEPROM, etc. Various information is stored in the storage unit 102. At least a part of the functions of the storage unit 102 may be provided in the memory of the processing unit 10.

[0084] The processing unit 10 is configured to control the overall operation of the server 1, that is, to control the communication unit 101 and the storage unit 102. The processing unit 10 can be realized by, for example, a computer system including one or more processors (microprocessors) and one or more memories. That is, by one or more processors executing one or more programs (applications) stored in one or more memories, it functions as the processing unit 10. The program is recorded in advance in the memory of the processing unit 10 here, but may be provided by being recorded through a telecommunication line such as the Internet or a non-temporary recording medium such as a memory card.

[0085] As shown in FIG. 1, the processing unit 10 includes a first registration unit 11, a second registration unit 12, a first acquisition unit 13, a first output unit 14, a determination unit 15, a generation unit 16, a second acquisition unit 17, an update unit 18, and a second output unit 19. That is, the processing unit 10 has the functions of the above-described respective units.

[0086] The first registration unit 11 registers the first management system 200.

[0087] The first registration unit 11 associates information indicating the first management system 200 (first system information) with information for identifying the facility F1 in which the first management system 200 is introduced (facility information), and stores it in the storage unit 102. The first system information may include, for example, information for identifying the management server 2 included in the first management system 200 (for example, an IP address), name information of the first management system 200, and the like. In the storage unit 102, the facility information and the first system information are stored in the form of, for example, the data table Ta31 shown in FIG. 7. In the example of FIG. 7, for the name of the facility F1 as the facility information (for example, "XX Building"), the first system information (for example, "System B1") indicating the first management system 200 introduced into the management area A1 of this facility F1 is stored in association.

[0088] The first registration unit 11 further registers a plurality of first reference data. The plurality of first reference data are stored in the storage unit 102 in association with the first system information. The first registration unit 11 stores, in the storage unit 102, a data table Ta11 similar to the data table Ta11 (a data table Ta11 indicating whether the plurality of first reference data are valid or invalid; see FIG. 4) stored in the storage unit of the first control panel 204, for example.

[0089] The first registration unit 11 registers the first management system 200, for example, based on an operation input to a dedicated terminal accessible to the server 1. The registration of the first management system 200 is performed, for example, when the first management system 200 is introduced. When the first management system 200 is introduced during the construction of the facility F1, the registration of the first management system 200 can be performed in accordance with the registration of the facility information.

[0090] The second registration unit 12 registers the second management system 300.

[0091] The second registration unit 12 stores, in the storage unit 102, information indicating the second management system 300 (second system information) in association with information for identifying the facility F1 in which the second management system 300 is introduced (facility information). The second system information may include, for example, information (such as an IP address) for identifying the second terminal 303 and the second control panel 304 included in the second management system 300, name information of the second management system 300, and the like. Since the first management system 200 is introduced in the facility F1, the second system information will be stored in the storage unit 102 in association with the first system information (see FIG. 7). Since one or more exclusive areas A10 can be set in one facility F1, that is, one management area A1, one or more second management systems 300 can be registered in association with one piece of facility information (one first management system 200). In the examples of FIGS. 1 and 7, two pieces of second system information (for example, "system B11", "system B12") indicating the two second management systems 3001 and 3002 introduced in this facility F1 are stored in association with the facility information (for example, "XX building") and the first system information (for example, "system B1").

[0092] The second registration unit 12 further registers a plurality of second reference data. The plurality of second reference data are stored in the storage unit 102 in association with the corresponding second system information. The second registration unit 12 stores, for example, a data table Ta21 similar to the data table Ta21 (a data table Ta21 indicating whether the plurality of second reference data are valid or invalid; see FIG. 5) stored in the storage unit of the second control panel 304 of one of the second management systems 3001 in the storage unit 102. Further, the second registration unit 12 stores a data table Ta22 similar to the data table Ta22 (a data table Ta22 indicating whether the plurality of second reference data are valid or invalid; see FIG. 6) stored in the storage unit of the second control panel 304 of the other second management system 3002 in the storage unit 102.

[0093] The registration of the second management system 300 is performed, for example, when the second management system 300 is introduced. The second registration unit 12 registers the second management system 300 based on an operation input to a dedicated terminal accessible to the server 1.

[0094] As described above, the second management system 300 is introduced by the tenant in the exclusive area A10. Therefore, the registration of the second management system 300 is basically performed after the first management system 200. However, the second management system 300 may be introduced at the time of construction of the facility F1, that is, at the time of introduction of the first management system 200. In that case, the registration of the second management system 300 can be performed in accordance with the registration of the facility information and the registration of the first management system 200.

[0095] As described above, the first system information and one or more second system information may be stored in the storage unit 102 in association with the facility information.

[0096] In the storage unit 102, the relationship between the first reference data and the second reference data is stored in the form of a data table Ta41 shown in FIG. 8, for example.

[0097] As described above, the exclusive area A10 is an area set within the management area A1. Therefore, for the facility user H1 to enter the exclusive area A10, it is first necessary to pass through the gate 201 of the management area A1. Therefore, the facility user H1, for whom entry into the exclusive area A10 is permitted, must also be permitted to enter the management area A1. That is, the facility user H1 associated with the second reference data must be associated with any of the first reference data. Therefore, each of the plurality of second reference data is associated with any one of the plurality of first reference data.

[0098] In the example of FIG. 8, the second reference data "I" associated with a certain facility user H1 is associated with the first reference data "001". As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, since both the first reference data "001" and the second reference data "I" are set as valid, this facility user H1 is permitted to enter the management area A1 and the exclusive area A10 managed by the second management system 3001.

[0099] In the example of FIG. 8, similarly, the second reference data "II" to "IV" are respectively associated with the reference data "002" to "004". In the example of FIG. 8, since both the first reference data "004" and the second reference data "IV" are set as invalid, the facility user H1 associated with these reference data is not permitted to enter the management area A1 or the exclusive area A10.

[0100] In the example of FIG. 8, no second reference data is associated with the first reference data "005" associated with a certain facility user H1. Therefore, although this facility user H1 is permitted to enter the management area A1, entry into any of the exclusive areas A10 is not permitted.

[0101] In the example of FIG. 8, the first reference data and the second reference data are associated one-to-one, but this is not the only case. For example, a plurality of second reference data corresponding to different second management systems 300 may be associated with one piece of first reference data.

[0102] The association between the first reference data and the second reference data is performed, for example, when the second registration unit 12 registers the second management system 300. That is, when the second registration unit 12 registers the second reference data, the second reference data is associated with any one of the first reference data.

[0103] The second acquisition unit 17 acquires second update information from the second terminal 303 of the second management system 300. That is, the second acquisition unit 17 acquires second designation information (designation information) for designating the validity or invalidity of the second authentication information (authentication information) of a specific facility user H1 among a plurality of facility users H1 from the second management system 300.

[0104] The update unit 18 updates the data table Ta21 (or Ta22) stored in the storage unit 102 based on the acquired second update information (second designation information). The update unit 18 changes the setting of the validity or invalidity of the specific second reference data based on the second designation information.

[0105] The second output unit 19 transmits the second update information indicating the second reference data whose validity or invalidity setting has been changed to the second control panel 304 of the second management system 300. Thereby, the information processing system 100 causes the data table Ta21 (or Ta22) of the second control panel 304 to be updated.

[0106] The update unit 18 also changes the enabled or disabled setting for the first reference data associated with specific second reference data whose enabled or disabled setting is changed by the second specified information. For example, with reference to the data table Ta41 in FIG. 8, the update unit 18 identifies the first reference data associated with the specific second reference data specified by the second specified information, and changes the enabled or disabled setting of the identified first reference data. In the example of FIG. 8, for example, when the second reference data "I" is changed from enabled to disabled, the update unit 18 also changes the corresponding first reference data "001" from enabled to disabled.

[0107] In this case, the second output unit 19 further transmits first update information indicating the first reference data whose enabled or disabled setting has been changed to the management server 2 of the first management system 200. Thereby, the information processing system 100 causes the data table Ta11 of the management server 2 (and the first control panel 204) to be updated.

[0108] In this way, when the information processing system 100 obtains second specified information for changing the enabled or disabled setting of the second authentication information (second reference data) of a specific facility user H1 from the second terminal 303, it also changes the enabled or disabled setting of the corresponding first authentication information (first reference data). Therefore, the administrator of the second management system 300 can change the enabled or disabled setting of the first authentication information simply by changing the enabled or disabled setting of the second authentication information. Therefore, convenience is improved.

[0109] The first acquisition unit 13 acquires the first entry / exit information D1 from the first management system 200. Specifically, the first acquisition unit 13 acquires the first entry / exit information D1 from the management server 2 of the first management system 200. As described above, the first entry / exit information D1 includes the first result information.

[0110] The generation unit 16 generates second entry / exit information D2 based on the first entry / exit information D1. The generation unit 16 generates the second entry / exit information D2, for example, in response to a request (hereinafter also referred to as an "output request") from the second terminal 303 of the second management system 300.

[0111] The second entry / exit information D2 generated by the generation unit 16 includes the first result information itself. That is, the second entry / exit information D2 includes the first entry / exit information D1.

[0112] When the generation unit 16 receives an output request from the second terminal 303 of the second management system 3001, for example, it refers to the data table Ta21 in FIG. 5 and the data table Ta41 in FIG. 8, and identifies the first reference data (here, the first reference data "001", "002") associated with this second management system 3001. The generation unit 16 generates the second entry / exit information D2 based on the first result information regarding the identified first reference data among the first entry / exit information D1.

[0113] When the generation unit 16 receives an output request from the second terminal 303 of the second management system 3002, for example, it refers to the data table Ta22 in FIG. 6 and the data table Ta41 in FIG. 8, and identifies the first reference data (here, the first reference data "003", "004") associated with this second management system 3002. The generation unit 16 generates the second entry / exit information D2 based on the first result information regarding the identified first reference data among the first entry / exit information D1.

[0114] The second entry / exit information D2 generated by the generation unit 16 further includes additional information. The additional information is information obtained by performing a predetermined arithmetic process on the first entry / exit information D1.

[0115] Examples of the additional information include attendance rate information. The attendance rate can be, for example, the ratio indicating the number of people who have entered the management area A1 after passing through the gate 201 among the number of facility users H1 associated with a plurality of first reference data. That is, the attendance rate can be the ratio of the people who are currently in the management area A1 among the facility users H1 whose entry into the management area A1 is permitted.

[0116] Examples of additional information include, for example, information on the list of attendees. The list of attendees can be, for example, a list of the names of facility users H1 (persons currently in management area A1) who have entered the management area A1 after passing through gate 201.

[0117] Examples of additional information include, for example, information on infection risk persons. For example, if a certain facility user H1 contracts a specific disease that can be transmitted by airborne infection or droplet infection, another facility user H1 who passed through gate 201 at a time close to the time when this facility user H1 passed through gate 201 (for example, within 10 seconds) can be identified as an infection risk person.

[0118] The first output unit 14 outputs the generated second entry / exit information D2 to the second terminal 303 that has transmitted the output request.

[0119] In this way, the administrator (tenant) of the second management system 300 can receive the second entry / exit information D2 including the first entry / exit information D1 from the information processing system 100. Therefore, the convenience of the administrator of the second management system 300 is improved.

[0120] The determination unit 15 determines whether to permit or reject the output of the second entry / exit information D2 to the second management system 300 based on a predetermined determination condition. The first output unit 14 outputs the second entry / exit information D2 only when the determination unit 15 permits the output of the second entry / exit information D2.

[0121] For example, when the determination unit 15 receives an output request from the second terminal 303, the determination unit 15 determines whether the output of the second entry / exit information D2 to this second terminal 303 is permitted. If it is not permitted, the determination unit 15 does not permit the first output unit 14 to output the second entry / exit information D2. Thereby, the privacy of the facility user H1 can be protected.

[0122] The generation unit 16 further generates third entry / exit information. The third entry / exit information is information related to at least one of the entry to and exit from the exclusive area A10 of the facility user H1.

[0123] Based on the second result information received from the second control panel 304, the generation unit 16 generates third entry / exit information. The third entry / exit information may include the second result information. The generation unit 16 generates the third entry / exit information, for example, in response to a request from the second terminal 303 of the second management system 300.

[0124] The first output unit 14 outputs the generated third entry / exit information to the second terminal 303.

[0125] Since the administrator of the second management system 300 can receive the third entry / exit information from the information processing system 100, the convenience is improved.

[0126] (3) Operation example Hereinafter, an operation example of the entry / exit management system 900 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11.

[0127] (3.1) First operation example The first operation example will be described with reference to FIG. 9. The first operation example is an operation when the administrator of the second management system 300 (the user of the second terminal 303) checks the second entry / exit information D2 using the second terminal 303.

[0128] First, the management server 2 acquires the first result information indicating the authentication result from the first control panel 204, and outputs the first entry / exit information D1 to the server 1 (information processing system 100) at an appropriate timing (S0).

[0129] The second terminal 303 outputs an output request for requesting the output of the second entry / exit information D2 to the server 1 in response to an operation on the operation unit (S1).

[0130] In the server 1, the determination unit 15 determines whether the output of the second entry / exit information D2 to the second terminal 303 is permitted (S2). If it is permitted, the second entry / exit information D2 is generated based on the first entry / exit information D1 (S3), and the generated second entry / exit information D2 is output to the second terminal 303 (S4).

[0131] The second terminal 303 presents the received second entry / exit information D2 (S5). As a result, the administrator of the second management system 300 can confirm the second entry / exit information D2.

[0132] (3.2) Second operation example The second operation example will be described with reference to FIG. 10. The second operation example is the operation when the administrator of the second management system 300 (the user of the second terminal 303) confirms the third entry / exit information using the second terminal 303.

[0133] First, the server 1 obtains second result information indicating the authentication result from the second control panel 304 at an appropriate timing (S10).

[0134] The second terminal 303 requests the server 1 to output the third entry / exit information in response to an operation on the operation unit (S11).

[0135] At the server 1, the third entry / exit information is generated based on the second result information (S12), and the generated third entry / exit information is output to the second terminal 303 (S13).

[0136] The second terminal 303 presents the received third entry / exit information (S14). As a result, the administrator of the second management system 300 can confirm the third entry / exit information.

[0137] (3.3) Third operation example The third operation example will be described with reference to FIG. 11. The third operation example is the operation when the administrator of the second management system 3001 (the user of the second terminal 303) changes the setting of the second authentication information (second comparison data) associated with a specific facility user H1 from valid to invalid.

[0138] The second terminal 303 of the second management system 3001 outputs second update information including second designation information designating the invalidation of specific second comparison data to the server 1 (information processing system 100) in response to an operation on the operation unit (S21).

[0139] Server 1 updates data table Ta21 based on the acquired second update information (S22). Further, server 1 outputs the second update information to the second control panel 304 (S23). The second control panel 304 updates the data table Ta21 stored in the storage unit based on the acquired second update information (S24).

[0140] Server 1 refers to data table Ta41 and identifies the first reference data corresponding to the second reference data designated as invalid (S25). Server 1 outputs first update information including first designation information for designating the invalidation of the identified first reference data to management server 2 (S26).

[0141] Management server 2 updates data table Ta11 stored in the storage unit based on the acquired first update information (S27). Further, management server 2 outputs the first update information to the first control panel 204 (S28). The first control panel 204 updates the data table Ta11 stored in the storage unit based on the acquired first update information (S29).

[0142] (4) Variation The above-described embodiment is merely one of various embodiments of the present disclosure. The embodiment can be variously modified according to the design and the like as long as the object of the present disclosure can be achieved.

[0143] Also, functions similar to those of information processing system 100 may be embodied by an information processing method, a (computer) program, or a non-transitory recording medium on which the program is recorded, or the like.

[0144] An information processing method according to one aspect includes an acquisition step and an output step. It includes registering a second management system 300 that manages the entry and exit of a facility user H1 to and from a dedicated area A10 set within a management area A1 of a facility F1. The acquisition step includes acquiring first entry / exit information D1 from a first management system 200. The first management system 200 manages the entry and exit of the facility user H1 to and from the management area A1 set within the facility F1. The first entry / exit information D1 is information related to at least one of the entry and exit of the facility user H1 to and from the management area A1. The output step includes outputting second entry / exit information D2 to the second management system 300. The second management system 300 manages the entry and exit of the facility user H1 to and from the dedicated area A10 set within the management area A1 of the facility F1. The second entry / exit information D2 is information related to at least one of the entry and exit of the facility user H1 to and from the management area A1, and is information obtained based on the first entry / exit information D1.

[0145] A program according to one aspect is a program for causing one or more processors to execute the above information processing method.

[0146] The following lists modification examples of the above embodiment. The modification examples described below can be applied in appropriate combinations.

[0147] The information processing system 100 in the present disclosure includes, for example, a computer system in a processing unit 10 of a server 1 or the like. The computer system mainly includes a processor and a memory as hardware. By the processor executing a program recorded in the memory of the computer system, the function as the processing unit 10 in the present disclosure is realized. The program may be pre-recorded in the memory of the computer system, may be provided through a telecommunication line, or may be provided by being recorded on a non-transitory recording medium such as a memory card, an optical disk, or a hard disk drive that can be read by the computer system. The processor of the computer system is composed of one or more electronic circuits including a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) or a large-scale integrated circuit (LSI). Here, integrated circuits such as the IC or LSI mentioned here have different names depending on the degree of integration, and include integrated circuits called system LSI, VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration), or ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Integration). Furthermore, for an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) that is programmed after the manufacture of the LSI, or a logic device capable of reconfiguring the bonding relationship inside the LSI or reconfiguring the circuit section inside the LSI, it can also be adopted as a processor. The plurality of electronic circuits may be integrated on one chip, or may be provided distributed on a plurality of chips. The plurality of chips may be integrated in one device, or may be provided distributed in a plurality of devices. The computer system mentioned here includes a microcontroller having one or more processors and one or more memories. Therefore, the microcontroller is also composed of one or more electronic circuits including a semiconductor integrated circuit or a large-scale integrated circuit.

[0148] Also, it is not an essential configuration of the information processing system 100 that a plurality of functions in the information processing system 100 are aggregated in one housing. The components of the information processing system 100 may be provided in a distributed manner in a plurality of housings. Conversely, a part of each function of the information processing system 100 may be aggregated in one housing. Further, at least a part of the functions of the information processing system 100, for example, at least a part of the functions such as the processing unit 10, may be realized by, for example, a server or a cloud (cloud computing) or the like.

[0149] (4.1) Variant 1 In this variant, the entry / exit management system 900 can change the setting of the validity or invalidity of specific first reference data and the corresponding second reference data based on an instruction from the first terminal 203.

[0150] For example, the first terminal 203 generates first update information in response to an appropriate operation by the user on the operation unit. The first update information includes first designation information for designating the validity or invalidity of at least one of a plurality of first reference data. The first terminal 203 outputs the generated first update information to the management server 2.

[0151] When the management server 2 acquires the first update information from the first terminal 203, it updates the data table Ta11 (see FIG. 4) stored in the storage unit based on the acquired first update information. Further, the management server 2 outputs the acquired first update information to the first control panel 204, and causes the first control panel 204 to update the data table Ta11 (see FIG. 4) stored in the storage unit of the first control panel 204. Also, the management server 2 outputs the acquired first update information to the server 1 of the information processing system 100.

[0152] In the server 1, the second acquisition unit 17 of the processing unit 10 acquires the first update information from the management server 2.

[0153] The update unit 18 of the processing unit 10 updates the data table Ta11 stored in the storage unit 102 based on the acquired first update information (first specified information). That is, the update unit 18 changes the setting of the validity or invalidity of specific first comparison data based on the first specified information.

[0154] If there is second comparison data associated with the first comparison data whose validity or invalidity setting is changed by the first specified information, the update unit 18 further changes the validity or invalidity setting of this associated second comparison data. For example, the update unit 18 refers to the data table Ta41 in FIG. 8, identifies the second comparison data associated with the first comparison data whose validity or invalidity setting is changed by the first specified information, and changes the validity or invalidity setting of the identified second comparison data. For example, in the example of FIG. 8, when the first comparison data "001" is changed from valid to invalid by the first specified information, the update unit 18 also changes the corresponding second comparison data "I" from valid to invalid.

[0155] The second output unit 19 transmits second update information indicating the second comparison data whose validity or invalidity setting has been changed to the second control panel 304 of the second management system 3001 (or 3002). Thereby, the information processing system 100 causes the data table Ta21 (or Ta12) of the second control panel 304 to be updated.

[0156] (4.2) Variant 2 In this variant, the administrator of the second management system 300 (for example, the second management system 3001) can newly add and register a facility user H1 who is permitted to enter the exclusive area A10 using the second terminal 303.

[0157] For example, the second terminal 303 generates a registration request in response to an appropriate operation on the operation unit by the user (the administrator of the second management system 3001). The registration request includes the system information (second system information) of the second management system 3001 and the authentication information (second authentication information) of the facility user H1 to be newly registered. The second terminal 303 outputs the generated registration request to the server 1.

[0158] When the server 1 obtains a registration request from the second terminal 303, it updates the data table Ta21 (see FIG. 5) stored in the storage unit 102 based on the obtained registration request. Specifically, the server 1 uses the authentication information included in the registration request as the second comparison data and registers it in association with the second system information ("System B11").

[0159] In addition, the server 1 outputs the obtained registration request to the second control panel 304, and causes the second control panel 304 to update the data table Ta21 (see FIG. 5) stored in the storage unit of the second control panel 304.

[0160] The server 1 further updates the data table Ta11 (see FIG. 4) stored in the storage unit 102 based on the obtained registration request. Specifically, the server 1 uses the authentication information included in the registration request as the first comparison data and registers it in association with the first system information ("System B1").

[0161] The server 1 further generates a registration instruction based on the obtained registration request. The registration instruction includes the system information (first system information) of the first management system 200 and the first comparison data for the facility user H1 to be newly registered. As the first comparison data, the authentication information included in the registration request is used.

[0162] The server 1 outputs the generated registration instruction to the management server 2, and causes the management server 2, the first terminal 203, and the first control panel 204 to update the data table Ta11 stored in the storage unit.

[0163] (4.3) Other Variants In one variant, the authentication information (first authentication information, second authentication information) is not limited to identification information. The authentication information may be the biometric information of the facility user H1. The biometric information of the facility user H1 may be, for example, the face, fingerprint, iris, voiceprint, vein information, etc. of the facility user H1.

[0164] In a modified example, the facility F1 may not have the public area A0. In this case, for example, the gate 201 may be provided at the entrance E1 of the facility F1.

[0165] In a modified example, the first entry / exit information D1 and the second entry / exit information D2 may include information on the authentication result at the additional control panel.

[0166] In a modified example, the server 1 may manage information on a plurality of first management systems 200 introduced into a plurality of facilities F1.

[0167] In a modified example, in the first management system 200, devices other than the control panel 204, such as the management server 2, the gate 201, etc., may perform authentication based on the first authentication information.

[0168] In a modified example, in the second management system 300, devices other than the control panel 304, such as the electric lock 301, etc., may perform authentication based on the second authentication information.

[0169] In a modified example, when the introduced second management system 300 is removed, the second registration unit 12 of the processing unit 10 may delete the second system information regarding the removed second management system 300 from the storage unit 102.

[0170] In a modified example, the management server 2 may be composed of two or more server devices, and such server devices may construct, for example, a cloud (cloud computing).

[0171] In a modified example, the functions of the management server 2 may be aggregated in the server 1.

[0172] In a modified example, the second management system 300 may control the opening and closing of the door (e.g., automatic door) at the entrance of the exclusive area A10 instead of or in addition to the opening and closing of the electric lock 301.
