[0002] Patent Documents 1 and 2 relate to the same technical field as the present invention. Patent Documents 1 and 2 and the present invention share a common problem in that they both aim to enable a delivery person to properly unlock an auto-lock system and deliver a package when delivering the package inside an apartment building equipped with an auto-lock system. Note that "unlocking" and "unlocking" have the same meaning.

[0003] To briefly summarize the components of Patent Document 1, the control server has a storage unit that stores the unlocking device and package information, an authentication unit, and a unit that issues an unlock instruction to the lock. On the other hand, the server device of Patent Document 2 is also substantially the same as the components of Patent Document 1, and has a storage means, an authentication means, and an unlocking instruction means to the door control device. However, the door control device is characterized in that it is made up of a "single housing."

[0004] However, in each of the management server devices in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the management server itself on the network has all the various functions such as information collection, authentication, and issuing unlock instructions to the door control device, so when a malfunction occurs in the authentication means or the unlock instruction means, there is a problem in that someone (expert) who is knowledgeable about maintenance of the management server or the entire unlocking system is required. To add to this point, there was a drawback in that the key information setting company that can set the key information for the lock control device could not go to the building and perform maintenance on the authentication means or unlock instruction means of the management server on the network where the problem occurred at the site where the lock control device is located. TaTherefore, it takes time to build the entire system, and the burden on the management server increases, which causes problems such as authentication taking time. Therefore, the applicant proposes the present invention to overcome the above problems. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0015] 1 to 8 are explanatory diagrams of a door unlocking system and its control device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. First, basic components will be described with reference to FIG.

[0016] Figure 1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of a door unlocking system. In Figure 1, X is a door unlocking system, and this door unlocking system X is To deliver packages to the interior of an apartment building while the user is away Located at the entrance to Building 1 As an automatic door An opening / closing device 2 for opening and closing a door, a control device 3 for issuing an instruction to the opening / closing device 2 to unlock the door, and specific information relating to the building 1 and the Living in Building 1 It includes a management server 4 that stores package information of parcels to be delivered to residents in a memory unit, and a resident terminal 5 that can communicate with this management server 4 via a network NT (wide area, local, etc.). The control device 3 is arranged in the building 1 or within the building premises 1.

[0017] Furthermore, it preferably includes a delivery company terminal 6. Here, the building 1 is described as an apartment building (for example, a high-rise apartment building), the entrance to the building 1 is the entrance to the apartment building, and the door is an automatic door. Of course, apartment buildings also include nursing homes, accommodation facilities, student dormitories, etc. depending on the embodiment.

[0018] The opening and closing device 2 is provided on the door frame and wall that constitute the entrance to the building 1, and has an input device, communication means, etc., and a power transmission mechanism is operated by the driving force of a driving source such as an electric motor. The specific configurations of the opening and closing device 2 and the input device 2a are omitted here.

[0019] The control device 3 is installed within a range where radio waves can reach using a local communication method (Wi-Fi), such as near the entrance to the building 1 or site 1 to be managed, in a common area of ​​the building, or in the building's management office. The control device 3 is configured in one or more housings, preferably one housing (meaning that the communication means, control unit, timing means, etc. are incorporated into one box).

[0020] The control device 3 of the embodiment not only has the function of simply instructing the opening / closing device 2 to unlock, but also has the function of registering the identification information of the authentication target that is sent in a timely manner from the management server 4 via the network NT in accordance with the delivery status of the parcel D, and the function of performing authentication on the member's desired delivery date.

[0021] The management server 4 may be singular or plural (plural in the embodiment), and can communicate with the control device 3 via the Internet or local communication means (e.g., Wi-Fi) included in the concept of the network NT. The resident terminal 5 and the delivery company terminal 6 are also connected to each other via the network NT so as to be able to communicate with each other.

[0022] Depending on the embodiment, a communication relay device (not shown), such as a transfer device or a gateway, may be appropriately installed between the opening / closing device 2 and the control device 3 or near the opening / closing device 2 in order to expand the range of radio waves from the communication terminal 90 carried by the delivery person M. The doors also include the automatic opening and closing doors of an elevator car installed inside the building 1. Therefore, in this embodiment, the opening / closing device 2 includes a first opening / closing device 2 that opens and closes the automatic doors at the entrance of the apartment building, and a second opening / closing device 7 that has an input device 7a and the like that opens and closes the automatic opening and closing doors of the elevator.

[0023] Before specifically configuring the control device 3 and the management server 4, let us consider the following points: especially Using a resident terminal (e.g., a mobile terminal) 5, the residence ( for example Since it is necessary to transmit specific information a that identifies the property and the room to the management server 4, the configuration of the resident terminal 5 and the registration of the account will be explained.

[0024] Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a resident terminal (e.g., a mobile terminal) 5. The mobile terminal 5 shown in Fig. 2 has an acquisition unit 11, a communication unit 12, an input unit 13, a storage unit 14, a display unit 15, and a control unit 16.

[0025] The acquisition unit 11 acquires server-side specific information that identifies the location of the management server 4 on the network NT. In this embodiment, the acquisition unit 11 is a reading unit that reads two-dimensional codes, such as a camera or scanner. The specific information is, for example, a URL (Uniform Resource Locator).

[0026] The two-dimensional code may be printed on a printed material. The technology for the mobile terminal 5 to read the two-dimensional code and access the management server 4 on the network NT is well known, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted. The acquisition unit 11 may be a wireless communication unit that uses short-range wireless communication such as NFC (Near Field Communication) instead of a reading unit. In this case, it is preferable to provide a transmitter (not shown) that transmits specific information using short-range wireless communication, for example, at an appropriate location in the building 1 (for example, near the automatic door), separate from the housing of the opening / closing device 2.

[0027] The communication unit 12 is communicably connected to the management server 4 via the network NT. In this embodiment, the communication unit 12 transmits specific information a that identifies the residence (e.g., property and room) of the resident to the management server 4. Here, the "specific information about the resident" includes: for example The information includes identification information such as the residence (property + room), name, email address corresponding to the address, user name included in the account at the time of registration, and telephone number that can identify the user's name and address. The telephone number is, for example, a unique number pre-registered in the mobile terminal 5. This allows the residence ( for example The specific information a can identify the property and room and the name of the resident who uses the unlocking system X. Since the specific information a is also information for identifying the resident (user name) who uses the unlocking system X, depending on the family structure, information on the husband, wife, children, etc. can also be included in the specific information a.

[0028] The communication unit 12 also receives a notification of "information about the parcel, the slip number of the parcel, information about the parcel, such as the parcel being delivered" from, for example, the parcel company terminal 6. In this case, it is preferable that the resident terminal 5, upon receiving the notification, promptly notifies the management server 4 of the information about the parcel, along with a delivery request, such as a desired morning delivery date or an desired afternoon delivery date, along with a delivery time slot, and the slip number of the parcel.

[0029] The input unit 13 receives identification information such as address, name, date of birth, phone number of the mobile terminal 5, and email address from the resident (user) by operation of the touch panel, voice, etc. In particular, in the case of a new registration, it is preferable to confirm the account including the name, email address, and password, and to input the resident's address ( for example The specific information a that can identify the property and the room is transmitted to the management server 4.

[0030] Figure 3 is an example of an input screen 5a on which a resident inputs specific information (identification information a) about the resident. Meanwhile, Figure 4 is an example of an output screen 5b on which a member registration notification is received from the management server 4 at the resident terminal 5. These screens are merely examples, and the input screen 5a and output screen 5b can be set arbitrarily. This enables the management server 4 to link the member's identification information (for example, property information) with package information of the parcel to be delivered to the resident.

[0031] The storage unit 14 stores various information including the member's identification information (specific information a), and the display unit 15 displays various information including the member's specific information a.

[0032] The control unit 16 controls the entire mobile terminal 5. For example, when the acquisition unit 11 acquires specific information on the management server 5 side (location information of the management server), the control unit 16 then transmits account information (information for acquiring authority) and the like to the management server 5.

[0033] As described above, in order for a resident to receive the service of the unlocking system X, the resident must first access the management server (e.g., registered trademark: MIWA-Links) 4 using the resident terminal 5 and the Internet. Preferably You will need to register an account to identify the property information. At the product implementation level, The account registration preferably includes not only the residence (property + room), but also the name, email address of the resident, and a password.

[0034] Next, Fig. 5 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the control device 3. As described above, the control device 3 not only has the function of issuing an instruction to unlock the opening / closing device 2, but also has the function of registering package information b transmitted in a timely manner from the management server 4 via the network NT in accordance with the delivery status of the parcel D, and the function of performing authentication.

[0035] That is, the control device 3 shown in FIG. 5 includes a registration means 22 that receives the most recent package information b from the management server 4 as "identification information of the authentication target" via a communication means 21 and registers it in its storage unit 23; an authentication means 24 that authenticates the identification information (e.g., a slip number) b of the parcel to be delivered to the resident, received via an input device 2a on the first opening / closing device 2 installed in the building 1, against the registered most recent package information b as the authentication target; an unlock instruction means 25 that instructs the first opening / closing device 2 to unlock if the authentication is successful; a control unit 26 that controls each of the above means; and a timing means 27. The control device 3 also includes a power source and other components as necessary. The technologies related to the communication means 21, registration means 22, authentication means 24, unlock instruction means 25, and control unit 26 are well-known technologies (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). Therefore, further detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0036] Incidentally, in Patent Document 2, for example, an intercom outside the building that constitutes the door control device constitutes an "input device," and identification information of the parcel (e.g., a slip number) is input to this input device. Therefore, the intercom as an input device installed near the entrance door of the building can be understood as the input device 2a on the first opening / closing device 2 side. The input device 2a on the first opening / closing device 2 side in the first embodiment of the present invention is not limited to an intercom, and employs a wireless communication unit that uses short-range wireless communication or the like, a reading device instead of a numeric keypad device, etc., but embodiments that do not use short-range wireless communication, a numeric keypad device, an intercom, a reading device, etc. are also conceivable.

[0037] For example, near the building shown in FIG. 1, a mobile terminal (for example, a smartphone) 90 held by a delivery person M of a delivery company from a vehicle side, a local communication means, and a transfer device are used to transmit the control device 3 of this embodiment. communication means 21 to send an unlock request.

[0038] Therefore, in the first embodiment, instead of using an input device 2a such as short-range wireless communication, a keypad, an intercom, or a reading device on the side of the first opening / closing device 2, a delivery person M of a delivery company can operate the screen of a smartphone 90 carried by the delivery person M while in a car or nearby within the range of radio waves when the resident (user) is not at home, and send an unlocking request including the user's identification information (e.g., location) and delivery slip number b to the control device 3 by direct operation (remote operation) (another embodiment).

[0039] Additionally, in this embodiment, the unlocking request may be sent to a control device 3 installed, for example, in the management office of an apartment building, using a transmitter separate from the input device 2a, such as a barcode reader (a modified example in which the slip number b is sent directly to the control device 3 via wireless from the communication terminal 90 carried by the delivery person M).

[0040] Next, Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram showing the simple configuration and functions of the management server, and Fig. 7 is a block diagram of the upper management server. The configuration of the management server 4 will be explained with reference to Figs. 6 and 7. As can be understood by referring to Figs. 6 and 7, the management server 4 manages information from members (residents who have logged in) and delivery information for parcels contained in emails from members, and when it identifies a member's property information and package information b, it transmits at least the package information b via a network (for example, a local network) to a control device 3 disposed on the premises 1 including the building.

[0041] Therefore, from the viewpoint of the management server 4, the control device 3 is not a companion or linked server, since it does not share information with the management server 4 or grant the right to view information.

[0042] The control device 3 receives package information b one-way from the management server 4, then receives package information b from the delivery person M and performs authentication, and once authentication is successful, issues an instruction to the opening / closing device 3 to unlock the entrance door and open it.Therefore, in this case, it should be called a "door control device" rather than a "management server."

[0043] The upper server 4A is a wide-area cloud server that handles new registrations of residents living in buildings nationwide, while the lower server 4B is a local cloud server, one or more of which are installed in each prefecture. In addition, it is desirable to install one lower server 4B in one or more apartment buildings or on their premises.

[0044] 6 is a control diagram of the management server 4, so it will be explained step by step here. In Step 1, the upper management server 4A transmits specific information (location information) that identifies the location of the upper server to the resident terminal 5, and the resident terminal 5 receives the specific information.

[0045] As is well known, email is a mechanism for exchanging messages over the Internet, and sending and receiving of email is carried out using email addresses, an SMTP server (sending server), a POP server (receiving server), and the like.

[0046] In Step 2, the upper management server 4A receives the member information entered into the resident terminal 5. As explained with reference to FIG. 3, the member for example Building name + room number), for example full name and Enter specific information a that identifies the resident's name and address, such as date of birth, a phone number unique to the resident terminal (member terminal) 5, and an email address. In the embodiment, it is desirable to enter at least an email address and a password for an "account," which is the right to use the network, in order to identify the member (user).

[0047] In Step 3, the upper management server 4A notifies the resident terminal 5 that the member registration has been completed (see FIG. 4).

[0048] In Step 4, the upper management server 4A then receives an e-mail from the resident terminal 5. In this embodiment, as in the conventional Patent Document 1 (see claim 1 of Japanese Patent No. 6777955), directly Receive package identification information (Receive) Instead, the resident terminal 5 receives the latest package information (for example, during the period in which delivery is possible) regarding the parcel, such as package identification information, delivery status, desired delivery date and time, and delivery slip number, via email. In addition, the package information is the latest information received by the member terminal 5 from the delivery company terminal 6, and the management terminal 4 receives this latest information from the member terminal 5 via email. In this case, it is desirable that the latest email information include the member's delivery date and delivery time slot in addition to the delivery slip number.

[0049] If there is no need to worry about providing "fine-tuned service" to members, the management server 4 can simply send the mail from the delivery company terminal 6, as in the case of the conventional Patent Document 1. directlyPackage identification information may also be received.

[0050] Therefore, when the resident terminal 5 receives the package identification information from the delivery company terminal 6, it is desirable that the resident terminal 5 transmit the latest package information regarding the package as soon as possible to the higher-level management server 4A. In this case, it is desirable that the member transmit not only the package information but also desired information such as the desired delivery date and time zone.

[0051] In Step 5, after the higher-level management server 4A has recorded the member information and member email information in its own memory, preferably when it receives the most recent package information regarding a home delivery from the resident terminal 5 in Step 4, it immediately links the identification information of the resident terminal 5 (property UUID + room ID) with the package information (e.g., invoice number) contained in the member email information, unless special circumstances arise, and thereby sends the linked information to the identified lower-level management server 4B via the network within three days (here referred to as the ``most recent package information'').

[0052] Next, the configuration of the upper management server 4A will be described with reference to Figure 7. The upper management server 4A includes a communication unit 31, a registration means 32 for registering various types of information, a memory unit 33 for storing various types of information, a timing unit 34, a linking unit 35 for linking the identification information (property UUID + room ID) of the resident terminal 5 with package information (e.g., slip number) included in the member email information, an information transmission instruction unit 36 ​​for transmitting various types of information, and a server control unit 37 for controlling the above-mentioned units. Although not specifically shown, the server also includes an authentication unit, a power supply unit, etc.

[0053] The functions of the communication unit 31 having transmission and reception functions, the memory unit 33 for storing programs and various information, the timer unit 34 for measuring time, etc. are well known technologies, so detailed explanations will be omitted. Here, a brief explanation will be given of the multiple pieces of information stored in the memory unit 33 corresponding to the embodiment.

[0054] In this embodiment, the memory unit 33 stores a member management table 33a containing the member's name, property information, and telephone number; a member email management box 33b containing the member's email address and the package information and desired information contained in the email address; a subordinate management server table 33c; and a condition 33d regarding the time or period for sending the most recent linking information to the subordinate management server table 33c. Figure 8 shows a schematic diagram illustrating the mutual correlation between the member information in the member management table 33a, the email information in the member email management box 33b, and the server information in the subordinate management server table 33c. The linking of the member information, email information, and server information is automatically performed by the server control unit 37 based on a program (not shown). [Example]

[0055] Here, a control device 3A in which other control functions are added to the control device 3 of the first embodiment will be briefly described. Note that the same components as those in the first embodiment will be given the same reference numerals, and duplicated explanations will be omitted. Also, the door unlocking system shown in FIG. X1 The second embodiment of the present invention is the door unlocking system X1. The purpose of the invention is to improve the security and convenience when a delivery person M enters a common area corridor from the entrance of an apartment building, gets into an elevator (carriage), and delivers a parcel D to a recipient's room (member) on the fourth or fifth floor, for example.

[0056] In Figure 9, reference numeral 28 denotes elevator information, which is stored in advance in memory 23, with the elevator entrance used by the resident associated with the elevator car that moves up and down for each room number. Reference numeral 40, indicated by phantom lines, denotes the exterior wall surface near the elevator and the interior wall surface of the elevator car. An elevator input device 7a is installed at an appropriate location on the exterior or interior wall surface. The input device 7a acquires, for example, identification information b of parcel D from the delivery person.

[0057] Therefore, as long as it is possible to acquire the slip number, which is an example of the identification information b of the parcel, the input device 7a may be any device, such as a wireless device, a barcode reader, a numeric keypad, or a voice device. The identification information b acquired by the input device 7a is then transmitted to the control device 3A. As described above, the control device 3A has authentication means 24, and when authentication is successful, a stop floor control signal c is output from the stop floor request means 29 to the elevator drive control device 41. Upon receiving the stop floor control signal c, the drive control device 41 stops the car at the specified floor. The control device 3A may also be provided with a function to call the car to, for example, the first floor.

[0058] As described above, in the present invention, the component control devices (3, 3A) are endowed with a variety of functions, which enables quick authentication and unlocking of the opening and closing device, simplifies system construction, simplifies maintenance work, reduces the workload of delivery personnel, and, depending on the embodiment, can provide "meticulous service" to members.
