Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an information processing device and a program, and more particularly to an information processing device and a program for monitoring an authentication system having a locking / unlocking device installed at the gate side of a building. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 describes an electric door lock in which a lock box is appropriately equipped with a plurality of switches that are linked to the locking / unlocking device's retractable member (e.g., latch bolt), locking / unlocking member (e.g., locking bar), and trigger. The linking of the plurality of switches occurs when a mechanical key (master key) is inserted into the keyhole of the electric door lock's cylinder lock and operated in the unlocking direction, resulting in the locking bar being unlocked, the handle device is then operated to open the door, or the trigger protrudes from the lock box due to spring force. The control unit can obtain unlocking information for the locking / unlocking device by the "ON" or "OFF" state of the plurality of switches that are linked to each of the above members.

[0003] Patent Document 2 describes a keyless entry device that includes a locking device that has an actuator that switches the door between locked and unlocked states and an operating state detection means that detects whether the door is in the locked state or the unlocked state, and a portable device that has a transmission button that transmits a wireless signal to the locking device to switch the door between locked and unlocked states, and the detection result of the operating state detection means is transmitted from the locking device to the portable device.

[0004] The case 31 of the portable device 5 is provided with a locking transmission button 32 for transmitting to the locking device 6 a radio signal for switching the door D from an unlocked state to a locked state, an unlocking transmission button 33 for transmitting to the locking device 6 a radio signal for switching the door D from a locked state to an unlocked state, and a transmission confirmation lamp 34 that lights up in response to the operation of the transmission buttons 32, 33. Therefore, the locking device 6 installed on the door processes identification information obtained from a simple portable device 5 with a transmitting function (a type of recording medium) other than the high-performance and multi-functional communication terminals such as 4G and 5G that have been heard of recently (the symbol is that of Patent Document 2). Note that various entrance and exit systems and methods for opening and closing building gates have been published (for example, JP 2019-2269 A proposed by the applicant). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 63-570 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-178738 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] Although Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 exist, until now, there has been no information processing device that can acquire at least unlocking information from two or more different input units, use this unlocking information in combination (for example, linking it), and monitor whether a person moving out of a residence or a new resident moving into the residence is using, for example, a detached house without a caretaker.

[0007] The main object of the present invention is to make it impossible to use a communication terminal that was carried by a person who has left the facility, when the communication terminal still has a function as a key. Additionally, in the case of a detached house, for example, the communication terminal used by the resident to unlock the gate (door) of the house before moving out may still function as a key. Therefore, if the person leaving does not use the communication terminal capable of unlocking the locking / unlocking device of the gate of the house they have left for a specified period after leaving, the communication terminal cannot be used to unlock the locking / unlocking device of the gate (door) of the house. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The information processing device of the present invention includes an authentication system having a locking / unlocking device installed on the gate side of a building, an output unit provided in the authentication system and configured to output unlocking information of the locking / unlocking device, and a receiving unit receiving the unlocking information output from the output unit, Operation Continue as is, or Operation Whether to stop or not is determined in the memory The system usage status stored in An information processing device including a monitoring and determining unit that makes a determination based on history information, The monitoring and determining unit of the authentication system includes a first determining unit that determines whether the locking / unlocking device is at least unlocked based on the operation of the mechanical key. and a second determination unit that determines whether the locking / unlocking device is at least unlocked by wireless communication with a communication terminal; The monitoring and determining unit determines whether or not to stop operation of the authentication system by using the determination results of the first and second determining units in combination. This is characterized by the following (Claim 1).

[0009] The information processing device of the present invention includes an authentication system having a locking / unlocking device installed on the gate side of a building, an output unit provided in the authentication system and configured to output unlocking information of the locking / unlocking device, and a receiving unit receiving the unlocking information output from the output unit, Operation Continue as is, or Operation Whether to stop or not is determined in the memory The system usage status stored in An information processing device including a monitoring and determining unit that makes a determination based on history information, The monitoring and determining unit of the authentication system includes a first determining unit that determines whether or not the locking / unlocking device has at least been unlocked by identification information obtained by means other than wireless communication with the communication terminal, and a second determining unit that determines whether or not the locking / unlocking device has at least been unlocked by means of a wireless method with the communication terminal, The monitoring and determining unit determines whether or not to stop operation of the authentication system by using the determination results of the first and second determining units together. This is characterized by the above (Claim 2).

[0010] In the information processing device of claim 1 or 2, the monitoring and determining unit stops operation of the authentication system. It was determined that case, a control unit of the authentication systemThe information processing device of claim 1 or claim 2 further comprises a network connected to the authentication system and a server connected to the authentication system via the network, the server having a receiving unit that receives the unlocking information output from the output unit, and the information processing device of claim 1 or claim 2 further comprises a receiving unit that receives the unlocking information output from the output unit, and the information processing device of claim 1 or claim 2 further comprises a receiving unit that receives the unlocking information output from the output unit, the receiving unit having a receiving unit that receives the unlocking information output from the authentication system, Operation Continue as is, or Operation Whether to stop or not is determined in the memory The system usage status stored in The device is characterized by having a monitoring and determining unit that makes a determination based on history information (claim 4).

[0011] Furthermore, the program causes the computer to receive, via a receiving unit, first unlocking information that is output from an authentication system having a locking / unlocking device installed on the gate side of the building and that at least unlocks the locking / unlocking device by operating a mechanical key, and second unlocking information that is also output from the authentication system and that at least unlocks the locking / unlocking device by wireless communication with a communication terminal, and to link the first unlocking information and the second unlocking information and store them in a storage unit. System usage status The first unlocking information and the second unlocking information are recorded as history information. and the first unlocking information and the second unlocking information are both used to determine whether the The authentication system checks whether the item is within a certain period of time. Operation Continue as is, or Operation A process is executed to determine whether to stop or not (claim 5).

[0012] In addition, the program causes the computer to receive, via a receiving unit, first unlocking information that is output from an authentication system having a locking / unlocking device installed on the gate side of a building and that at least unlocks the locking / unlocking device using identification information obtained by means other than wireless communication with a communication terminal, and second unlocking information that is also output from the authentication system and that at least unlocks the locking / unlocking device using a wireless method with the communication terminal, and to link the first unlocking information and the second unlocking information and store them in a storage unit. System usage status The first unlocking information and the second unlocking information are recorded as history information. and the first unlocking information and the second unlocking information are both used to determine whether the The authentication system checks whether the item is within a certain period of time. Operation Continue as is, or Operation A process is executed to determine whether to stop or not (claim 6).

[0013] Although no dependent claims are intentionally included in the claims, from the perspective of whether or not a resident or new resident is using the private area of ​​the house, in claims 1 to 6 above, when the locking / unlocking device is set to the "locked" state by a mechanical key K with a locking function, a thumb turn device K with a locking function, a storage medium K1 with a locking function in place of the mechanical key, or a communication terminal S with a locking function, the monitoring / determination unit 12 may monitor whether or not the private area of ​​the building is being used via the first determination unit 10 or the second determination unit 11. Here, "locking / unlocking device" is a broad concept that includes cylinder devices, thumb turn devices, gate opening / closing devices, handle devices, door frame side receiving devices, etc. Furthermore, the monitoring and determination unit 12 can be installed anywhere. Here, the "security zone" includes not only the private areas inside the house, but also the premises outside the house that are subject to control and management. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] The present invention can monitor whether a departing person or a new resident is using, for example, a detached house without a caretaker. In particular, in the case of a detached house without a caretaker, there is a possibility that the communication terminal used by the departing person to at least unlock the locking / unlocking device of the gate (door) of the house before leaving may still have a key function. Therefore, if the departing person does not use the communication terminal capable of unlocking the locking / unlocking device of the gate of the house they left for a predetermined period after leaving, the determination monitoring unit of the authentication system installed in the smart lock for the gate (locking / unlocking device side), or the authentication system installed near the gate separately from the smart lock for the gate, or the authentication system installed in the server at the end of the network, can use (preferably link) first unlocking information, which indicates that the locking / unlocking device has at least been unlocked, based on identification information obtained by means other than wireless communication with the communication terminal, and second unlocking information, which indicates that the locking / unlocking device has at least been unlocked by means of a wireless method with the communication terminal, to determine whether the authentication system Operation Continue as is, or Operation It is possible to determine whether to stop or not.

[0015] Therefore, when the communication terminal used by the departing person still has the function as a key, the monitoring and determining unit System When the operation of the authentication system is stopped based on the historical information on the usage status, at least the unlocking of the locking / unlocking device via a wireless method with the communication terminal can be stopped, so that the communication terminal of the departing person cannot be used to unlock the locking / unlocking device of the gate of the residence where the new resident lives, thereby ensuring the security of the authentication system.

[0016] When the first unlocking information and the second unlocking information are linked, the monitoring and determining unit periodically monitors whether or not each of the first unlocking information has been registered. In addition, depending on whether or not both of the unlocking information have been registered, it can be estimated whether or not the communication terminal, the mechanical key, the storage medium, etc. have been used for a certain period of time.

[0017] For example, by combining information on whether the ID of the mechanical key or storage medium has been used periodically (every week, month, two months, three months, etc.) with information on whether the communication terminal S has similarly been used periodically (every week, month, two months, three months, etc.), if the communication terminal S has not been used periodically, it is determined that the previous resident may not have deleted the key function of the communication terminal S, and in this case, there is a possibility that there is a high security risk, so the previous resident's communication terminal S is forcibly made unusable. When both the first unlocking information and the second unlocking information are stored in the memory, the authentication system uses these unlocking information together to The criterion can be "whether or not there is a security risk."

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] <Basic configuration> 1 to 3 are explanatory diagrams of an information processing device X according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of the information processing device X. First, in FIG. 1, on the left side, a "mechanical key K" and a "communication terminal S," such as a smartphone or tablet, are depicted. Note that the communication terminal S is not limited to a smartphone or tablet, and includes wearable devices such as a feature phone, a smartwatch, and smart glasses, as long as they are multifunctional. A smartphone is preferred.

[0020] Next, the area largely surrounded by a two-dot chain line is a smart lock for a gate. In the first embodiment, an authentication system 1 is provided in this smart lock (on the locking / unlocking device side).

[0021] This smart lock, i.e., the authentication system 1 provided on the locking / unlocking device side, has a locking / unlocking device as a first input unit installed on a gate (e.g., a front door) 2, and a wireless communication means 4 as a second input unit. In Fig. 1, the wireless communication means 4 is a short-range communication unit, so as long as it can realize its function, it may be installed on the gate 2 itself, or on a wall near the gate, a stand, or within the premises. First, we will explain the gate 2 and the first input unit (locking / unlocking device) 3. As is well known, the base end of the gate 2 is attached to the door frame via upper and lower hinges. Meanwhile, the first input unit 3 is provided in the center of the free end of the gate 2. Here, the "first input unit 3" includes, for example, a cylinder device, a handle device, a thumbturn device, a trigger device, a locking means, a detector attached to a receiver, a gate opening / closing device, etc. Since the mechanical structures of cylinder devices, handle devices, thumbturn devices, etc. are well known, detailed explanations and drawings are omitted. Also, here, we will discuss an "electric lock" as an example of the locking / unlocking device 3 as the first input unit. Of course, a control unit, a drive motor, a detector, etc. can be retrofitted to an ordinary "mechanical lock" to provide the functionality of an electric lock. Now, the locking / unlocking device 3 is installed in a combination of various devices depending on the purpose and function of the building, but in the case of a detached house, as shown in Figure 1, the front of the outer and inner cylinders that make up the cylinder of the cylinder device 3a can be seen from the outer wall surface of the wall part 2a of the gate 2, and the inner cylinder has a keyhole into which a mechanical key K (left side of the drawing) can be inserted.

[0022] Furthermore, for example, when a mechanical key K is inserted into the inner cylinder and a large number of tumblers and movable obstacles are aligned on the unlocking line, the deadbolt can be retracted into the lock box by operating the mechanical key K, or in the case of a lock in which the locking means is unlocked, the handle of the handle device 3b can be operated, for example, downward to retract the latch bolt as a temporary locking piece into the lock box 3c. Incidentally, the gate 2 appropriately uses one or more switch means 5. The switch means 5 is a switch related to the operation of the locking / unlocking device 3 as the first input unit, and for example, a microswitch having a movable contact and a fixed contact, a magnetically sensitive switch, etc. are appropriately used.

[0023] Fig. 2 conceptually shows the types of switch means 5 as interlocking members. That is, 5a is a first switching means interlocked with a cylinder device (e.g., a movable barrier), 5b is a second switching means interlocked with a handle device (e.g., a handle) 3b, 5c is a third switching means interlocked with a deadbolt or latch bolt as the locking piece 3c (e.g., a detector that detects the position of the locking piece), 5d is a fourth switching means interlocked with a locking means (e.g., a rotary cam) 3d for the locking piece, 5e is a fifth switching means interlocked with a trigger means (e.g., a trigger bolt) 3e that retracts into the lock box against spring force, 5f is a sixth switching means interlocked with a thumbturn device (e.g., a thumbturn shaft) 3f, 5g is a seventh switching means (e.g., a door opening / closing detector) interlocked with an opening / closing device 2b of the gate 2, and 5h is an eighth switching means (e.g., a sensor installed in a locking lock) provided on a receiver 3g that receives the locking piece. In addition, in the case of an electric lock that can be unlocked mechanically and electrically, a switching means that is linked to the operating rod of the solenoid is provided, but this is omitted from Figure 2 to avoid detailed description.

[0024] The actuation signal of one or more switch means 5 related to the operation of the locking / unlocking device 3 (for example, an action related to unlocking) is referred to here as "first unlocking information", and this first unlocking information is identification information obtained other than by wireless communication with the communication terminal S described below, and is, so to speak, information that the locking / unlocking device 3 has at least been unlocked. In addition, the first unlocking information does not necessarily include identification information that includes both locking and unlocking. This first unlocking information a is sent by the output unit 6 to the receiving unit (communication unit) 7 of the authentication system 1 via a wired or wireless method.

[0025] Next, we will explain the wireless communication means (short-range communication unit) 4 as the second input unit. The communication terminal S, which will be described later, also has wireless communication means (short-range communication unit). The specific configuration of the short-range communication unit is well-known, so a detailed description will be omitted here. Here, the signal indicating that the smart lock locking / unlocking device 3 is unlocked wirelessly with the communication terminal S is referred to as "second unlocking information." Therefore, there are not two locking / unlocking devices 3 with locking pieces, but rather the locking / unlocking device 3 of the first input unit and the locking / unlocking device 3 of the second input unit 4 are shared. Additionally, the locking / unlocking device that is unlocked by the lock control unit, drive motor, power transmission unit, etc. as a result of verification by the authentication unit (not shown) is the same as the first input unit 3. To avoid the complexity of the illustration, FIG. 1 omits the unlocking mode of the locking / unlocking device 3 by the lock control unit, drive motor, power transmission unit, memory unit, etc.

[0026] Next, a description will be given of the main parts of the authentication system 1. Reference numeral 8 denotes a control unit that receives at least both the "first unlocking information" and the "second unlocking information" from the receiving unit 7. This control unit 8 converts both of the unlocking information into System usage status The information is recorded as history information in the storage unit 9. At this time, the "first unlocking information" and the "second unlocking information" are stored in association with each other.

[0027] The authentication system 1 of the embodiment includes a monitoring and determining unit 12 having a first determining unit 10 and a second determining unit 11 in the smart lock, and the monitoring and determining unit 12 determines whether to continue the operation of the authentication system 1 as it is or to stop it by storing the information in the storage unit. System usage status (usage period) The decision is made based on historical information about the

[0028] That is, the monitoring and determining unit 12 of the authentication system 1 has a first determining unit 10 that determines whether the locking / unlocking device 3 is unlocked based on the operation of the mechanical key K, and a second determining unit 11 that determines whether the locking / unlocking device 3 is unlocked by wireless communication with the communication terminal S, The monitoring and determining unit determines whether or not to stop operation of the authentication system by using the determination results of the first determining unit and the second determining unit together.The control unit 8 stops the operation of the authentication system 1 based on the determination result of the monitoring and determination unit 12. The authentication system 1 has a second communication unit 13, which is capable of communicating with a server 30 via a network N such as the Internet. <Communication Terminal S> 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a communication terminal. Communication terminal S is a portable information processing terminal such as a smartphone, tablet, or wearable device that is carried by a person passing through gate 2 of the security zone (for example, a building resident or a person who has been granted a key account by a resident) and is used to operate (unlock, lock, open / close) gate locking / unlocking device 3. Therefore, the communication terminal S has a terminal control unit 20, a touch panel 21 as an operation unit and display unit, a memory unit 22, a registration unit 22a with a mode switching function for new registration, update registration, change registration, and deletion registration of key account A, a key account identification unit 25 that extracts a copy of the key account recorded in the memory unit, multiple communication units 23 (23a, 23b) that receive and transmit key accounts, various switches not shown, a camera function, etc. The terminal control unit 20 has a key account A (authority of the electronic key) for opening and closing the gate recorded in its storage unit 22. The first communication unit 23a of the communication unit 23 includes a key account receiving means 24 that acquires the key account A from, for example, a server not shown and passes the key account A to the registration unit 22a, while the second communication unit 23b of the communication unit 23 includes a key account transmitting means (unlock requesting means) 26 that uses the key account A to which identification information such as gate identification information, identification information of the locking / unlocking device, control unit identification information for the locking / unlocking device, and sender identification information of the server are appropriately linked via a key account specifying unit 25, and requests the operation (e.g., unlocking) of the locking / unlocking device 3. Additionally, the terminal control unit 20 controls the operation of the communication terminal S based on a program, and the touch panel 21 displays a large number of icons, etc., and various screens appear when each icon is touched. The key account A can also be obtained from the authentication system 1 via wireless communication means. Therefore, the communication method of the second communication unit 23b of the communication unit 23 is a short-range communication unit such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) or NFC. The communication terminal S is preferably a high-performance, multi-functional smartphone, such as a 5G (5G) smartphone.

[0029] From the above description, it can be seen that the information processing device X according to the first embodiment of the present invention: The authentication system 1 has a locking / unlocking device 3 installed on the gate side of a building, an output unit 6 provided in the authentication system 1 and outputting unlocking information of the locking / unlocking device, and a receiving unit 7 receiving the unlocking information output from the output unit, and the authentication system 1 has Operation Continue as is, or Operation Whether to stop or not is determined by the memory unit 9 The system usage status stored in The information processing device X is provided with a monitoring and determining unit 12 that makes a determination based on history information, and the monitoring and determining unit 12 of the authentication system is a first determining unit 10 that determines whether or not the locking / unlocking device 3 has at least been unlocked based on the operation of a mechanical key K. and a second determination unit (12) for determining whether or not the locking / unlocking device has at least been unlocked by wireless communication with a communication terminal (S); The monitoring and determining unit 12 determines whether or not to stop operation of the authentication system 1 by using the determination results of the first determining unit 10 and the second determining unit 12 together. .

[0030] Preferably, taking into consideration the problem of the invention, when the monitoring and determination unit 12 stops the operation of the authentication system 1 based on the historical information in the memory unit 9, it stops the unlocking of the locking / unlocking device 3 by wireless communication with the communication terminal S. [Example]

[0031] First, in the first embodiment, the authentication system 1 is provided inside the housing of the smart lock or attached to the housing of the smart lock, so that it is integrally connected to the locking / unlocking device (lock) 3. However, as shown in Fig. 4 which shows another embodiment (second embodiment) of the authentication system 1, the authentication system 1 may be separate from the locking / unlocking device (lock) 3. That is, reference numeral 100 denotes a lock control device, while reference numeral 1A denotes an authentication system that is physically separated from the lock control device 100. Although not specifically shown in Fig. 1 showing the first embodiment, the lock control device 100 has a first input unit 3 and a second input unit 4, as well as a control unit 15 for the first input unit 3, a memory unit 16 that stores identification information for the communication terminal S, etc.

[0032] Even when configured as described above, the authentication system 1A receives both the "first unlocking information" and the "second unlocking information" output from the output unit 6 of the lock control device 100 at the receiving unit 7, and the control unit 8 can stop the authentication operation of the identification information input by the second input unit 4 of the lock control device 100 based on the judgment result of the monitoring and judgment unit 12.

[0033] In the first and second embodiments, the monitoring and determination unit 12 is provided in the authentication system (1, 1A) installed in the security zone of the building, but it may also be provided in a server 30 connected to the network N as an addendum. Therefore, although not specifically shown, the information processing device of another embodiment has a network N connected to the authentication system (1, 1A) in the first or second embodiment, and a server 30 connected to the authentication system (1, 1A) via the network, and the server 30 has a receiving unit that receives both the "first unlocking information" and the "second unlocking information" output from the output unit 6, and Operation Continue as is, or Operation The device has a monitoring and determining unit that determines whether to stop the operation based on history information relating to usage information of the storage unit.

[0034] 5 is a block diagram showing a third example of an authentication system (third embodiment). Compared with the first or second embodiment, for example, the authentication system 1B of the third embodiment replaces the first unlocking information based on the operation of a mechanical key with first identification information obtained from a source other than wireless communication with the communication terminal S, such as a new, publicly known, or well-known authentication medium (a portable ID key, an IC card, or a magnetic card), a new or publicly known biometric authentication (for example, face authentication or image authentication), or a new or publicly known infrared receiving means, a new or publicly known code reading means such as a numeric keypad input, or a new or publicly known fingerprint, iris, vein, or the like reading means.

[0035] Therefore, the information processing device X2 shown in FIG. 5 comprises an authentication system (1, 1A) having a locking device 3 installed on the gate side of a building, an output unit 6 provided in the authentication system (1, 1A) and outputting unlocking information of the locking / unlocking device 3, and a receiving unit 7 receiving the unlocking information output from the output unit 6, and a monitoring and determination unit 12 determining whether to continue operation of the authentication system (1, 1A) as is or to stop it based on history information relating to usage information in a memory unit 9, and the monitoring and determination unit 12 of the authentication system (1, 1A) comprises a first determination unit 10 determining whether the locking / unlocking device 3 has been unlocked based on identification information obtained by means other than wireless communication with a communication terminal S, and a second determination unit 11 determining whether the locking / unlocking device 3 has been unlocked by a wireless method with the communication terminal S, The monitoring and determining unit 12 determines whether or not to stop operation of the authentication system (1, 1A) by using the determination results of the first determining unit 10 and the second determining unit 11 together. Based on the determination result of the monitoring and determining unit 12, the control unit 8 of the authentication system (1, 1A) stops the operation of part or all of the authentication system (1, 1A).

[0036] In the above configuration, when the operation of the authentication system (1, 1A) is stopped based on the history information in the storage unit 9, the monitoring and determination unit 12 can stop the unlocking of the locking / unlocking device 3 by wireless communication with the communication terminal S. Therefore, this information processing device X2 can also achieve the same object of the invention as the first and second embodiments. <Appendix 1: Program> Since the authentication system (1, 1A) is as described above, the program has the following configuration. (1) A computer receives, via a receiving unit, first unlocking information output from an authentication system having a locking / unlocking device installed on the gate side of a building, and indicating that the locking / unlocking device has at least been unlocked by operating a mechanical key, and second unlocking information also output from the authentication system, and indicating that the locking / unlocking device has at least been unlocked via a wireless method with a communication terminal, and stores the first unlocking information and the second unlocking information in a storage unit. System usage status The first unlocking information and the second unlocking information are recorded as history information. and the first unlocking information and the second unlocking information are both used to determine whether the The authentication system checks whether the item is within a certain period of time. Operation Continue as is, or Operation A program that executes a process to determine whether to stop (claim 5). (2) The computer receives, via a receiving unit, first unlocking information output from an authentication system having a locking / unlocking device installed on the gate side of a building and indicating that the locking / unlocking device has at least been unlocked by identification information obtained by means other than wireless communication with a communication terminal, and second unlocking information also output from the authentication system and indicating that the locking / unlocking device has at least been unlocked by a wireless method with the communication terminal, and stores the first unlocking information and the second unlocking information in a storage unit, linking them together. System usage status The first unlocking information and the second unlocking information are recorded as history information. and the first unlocking information and the second unlocking information are both used to determine whether the The authentication system checks whether the item is within a certain period of time. Operation Continue as is, or Operation A program that executes a process to determine whether to stop (claim 6). <Appendix 2> Fig. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of identification information obtained from a source other than wireless communication with the communication terminal S in Fig. 5. In Fig. 6, the symbol a denotes an "ID reading means," which has a reader unit, a control unit, a memory unit, a communication unit, etc. that reads identification information from a storage medium K1 such as a smart key including an IC and a key insertion unit, a smart key including only an IC, an IC card, or a magnetic card. Furthermore, code b is a biometric authentication means, which is capable of face authentication and image authentication. Therefore, it has an imaging unit (surveillance camera), a control unit, a memory unit, a communication unit, etc. There are countless other examples, but a numeric keypad device c as an example of code reading means having a housing, push buttons arranged on the front panel of the housing, multiple sensors, etc. is also a device for obtaining identification information from a source other than the communication terminal S. The push buttons of the code reading means may be either contact or non-contact type. <Appendix 3> FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating patterns in which the monitoring and determination unit determines the conditions of the history information. In this schematic diagram, patterns A, B, C, and D are described as operation examples. Patterns A, C, and D indicate cases in which operation continues. Pattern B prohibits the use of the smartphone (communication terminal) after a certain period of time has passed. As can be seen from these patterns, the monitoring and determination unit 12 can stop the unlocking of the locking / unlocking device 3 via a wireless system with the communication terminal S when suspending operation of the authentication system (1, 1A) based on the history information in the memory unit 9 regarding usage information on whether or not the system is being used periodically. <Appendix 4> From the viewpoint of whether or not a resident or a new resident is using the private area of ​​the house, in claims 1 to 6, when the locking / unlocking device is set to the "locked" state by a mechanical key K with a locking function, a thumb turn device K with a locking function, a storage medium K1 with a locking function in place of the mechanical key, or a communication terminal S with a locking function, the monitoring judgment unit 12 may monitor whether or not the private area of ​​the building is being used via the first judgment unit 10 or the second judgment unit 11.
