The alarm is output in response to an instruction signal from the control unit 30. In order to prevent an unspecified number of people from passing through gate 3, gate plate 37 is initially closed. (See Figure 1.)

[0068] In this embodiment, like the IP address of the mobile terminal 2, the gate 3 has a unique IP address. Gate 3 has an IP address issued by the ISP. It is not an IP address, but an IP address generated by Gate 3 itself. The IP address is, for example, an IP address corresponding to IPv6 displayed as a 32-digit hexadecimal number. The IP address of Gate 3 is a 128-bit address. It may be generated based on the public key of the gate 3. Furthermore, if the public key of the gate 3 is certified by a certification authority, In this way, the IP address of the gate 3 may be an IP address unique to the gate 3. It is an IP address that is authenticated by a certificate authority.

[0069] (Gate opening method according to this embodiment) Next, a gate opening method according to this embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. 5 and 6 are sequence diagrams for explaining the gate opening method according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, first, the mobile terminal 2 receives a predetermined Request a ticket purchase page to purchase tickets (e.g., concert tickets) The management server 4 transmits a signal to the management server 4 (step S1). Please note that the web browser on the mobile device 2 also functions as a HTTP The request signal is sent to the management server 4 according to a communication protocol such as In response to the request signal sent from the mobile terminal 2, the ticket server 4 sends the ticket via the communication network 5. The lot purchase page (WEB page) is transmitted to the mobile terminal 2 (step S2).

[0070] Before and after the process of step S1, the management server 4 (WEB server) provides Log in to online sites that provide In this case, the mobile terminal 2 may execute a login process for the purpose of the process of step S1. Before and after the process, the user can log in to the online site provided by the management server 4. The login information (user ID and password) for the user may be sent to the management server 4. The server 4 can authenticate the user U based on the transmitted login information. The management server 4 then identifies the user based on the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 instead of the login information. In this respect, the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 may be used to identify the mobile terminal 2. Since it functions as identification information for distinguishing between the mobile terminal and the mobile device, the management server 4 can access the mobile terminal without login information. The management server 4 can authenticate the user U based on the IP address of the terminal 2. In particular, By referring to the user management table (see FIG. 7(a)), the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 is It is possible to identify user attribute information such as a user ID corresponding to the user.

[0071] Next, in step S3, the user U inputs the desired information via the input operation unit 27 of the portable terminal 2. The user inputs ticket purchase information for purchasing a specific ticket into the mobile terminal 2. For example, The U will provide seating information regarding seat type and seat number at the concert venue and / or credit card information. In this way, the mobile terminal 2 can input information related to the ticket (credit card information). In the user management table, the credit information of user U is If the user U has already registered, he or she does not need to enter credit information.

[0072] Next, in step S4, the mobile terminal 2 receives the ticket purchase information input to the mobile terminal 2. The management server 4 then transmits the ticket information transmitted from the mobile terminal 2 to the management server 4. Based on the ticket purchase information, the ticket management table shown in FIG. 7(b) is updated (step At this point, the management server 4 checks the ticket information of the ticket purchased by the user U. After generating the ticket ID, the generated ticket ID, seat information, and user U's user ID are and the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 are registered in the ticket management table.

[0073] The user management table and ticket management table shown in FIG. 7 are one of the management tables. The user management table and the ticket management table are stored in the storage device 4 of the management server 4. 3 (see FIG. 3). The user management table stores multiple user-related information. User ID information (user identification information) and multiple IP addresses unique to multiple mobile devices are displayed. It includes IP address information and multiple user attribute information (contact information, credit information, etc.). In the user management table, user IDs, IP addresses, and user attribute information are associated with each other. In particular, each of the plurality of pieces of user ID information is one of the plurality of pieces of IP address information. and associated with one of a plurality of pieces of user attribute information.

[0074] The ticket management table also contains multiple user ID information, multiple IP address information, and The ticket management table includes a plurality of ticket ID information and a plurality of seat information. The user ID, IP address, ticket ID, and seat information are all associated with each other. Each of the plurality of pieces of user ID information is one of the plurality of pieces of IP address information and a plurality of ticket IDs. D information.

[0075] It should be noted that the user management table and ticket management table shown in FIG. 7 are merely examples. Please note that, for example, the ticket management table may not include IP address information. Furthermore, user attribute information is not limited to contact information and credit information.

[0076] In addition, before and after the update process of the ticket management table in step S5, the management server 4 The Company will share information about the ticket purchase price and User U's credit card information with the Company in connection with the ticket purchase. In this way, the payment for the ticket purchase can be made by sending the payment to an external server that executes the payment. The transaction may be performed by an external server.

[0077] Next, in step S6, the management server 4 transmits the ticket via the communication network 5. The management table is sent to the gate 3. At this point, after the designated tickets are sold out or After the ticket sales period has passed, the management server 4 sends the ticket management table to the gate 3. The ticket management table may be stored in the storage device 33 of the gate 3. .

[0078] FIG. 5 explains a series of processes related to purchasing a ticket through the mobile terminal 2. Next, FIG. 6, a user U who has purchased a specific ticket is in a concert hall (an example of a specific space). The following explains each process that is executed when passing through Gate 3 installed at the entrance of In the processing from step S7 onwards, it is assumed that the user U is located near the gate 3.

[0079] As shown in FIG. 6, in step S7, the mobile terminal 2 receives the IP address of the gate 3. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, in step S13, the user U acquires the game data. The two-dimensional barcode (e.g., QR code (registered trademark)) displayed on the mobile terminal 3 is scanned. Then, the control unit 20 of the mobile terminal 2 captures the image using the camera 24. Next, in step S14, image data representing the two-dimensional barcode obtained by the above process is acquired. In this case, the control unit 20 analyzes the image data showing the two-dimensional pattern. The information (128 bits) about the IP address of Gate 3 included in the application is obtained.

[0080] Next, returning to FIG. 6, in step S8, the mobile terminal 2 The mobile terminal transmits a gate opening signal to the gate 3 requesting the gate 3 to be opened. The terminal 2 uses the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 as the source address and also uses the IP address of the gate 3. By using the IP address as the destination address, the gate open signal is sent to gate 3. In this way, the gate 3 can check the mobile phone by referring to the source address of the gate open signal. The IP address of terminal 2 can be identified.

[0081] Next, the gate 3 checks the ticket management table stored in the storage device 33 and the ID of the portable terminal 2. Based on the P address, a user U is allowed to enter a predetermined space (e.g., a concert venue). Specifically, the gate 3 checks whether the mobile terminal 2 is allowed to enter the gate (step S9). The IP address matches one of the IP addresses in the ticket management table. Here, it is determined whether the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 is included in the ticket management table. If the IP address matches one of the IP addresses included in the It is determined that entry into the space is permitted (YES in step S9). The address does not match one of the multiple IP addresses contained in the ticket management table. If not, the gate 3 determines that the user U is not permitted to enter the predetermined space (step S9: NO).

[0082] If the determination result in step S9 is YES, the control unit 30 of the gate 3 outputs a gate open signal The gate plate driving circuit 36 ​​then sends a gate open signal to the gate plate driving circuit 36. In this way, the user U is controlled to open the gate plate 37 (step S11). Gate 3 is controlled so that the person can enter the designated space. On the other hand, the result of the determination in step S9 is If NO, the gate 3 outputs a warning sound from the speaker 38 (step S10).

[0083] Next, in step S12, the gate 3 refers to the ticket management table. Then, the gate 3 identifies the seat information corresponding to the IP address of the mobile terminal 2. The seat information is then sent to the mobile terminal 2 as ticket information. Gate 3 outputs a receipt with the ticket information printed on it. In this way, the user U can obtain ticket information when passing through the gate 3. This improves convenience for the user U.

[0084] In this way, according to this embodiment, the IP address unique to the mobile terminal 2 is used to It is determined whether a user U associated with 2 should be allowed to enter a given space. Therefore, the mobile terminal 2 itself can be used as an admission ticket to enter a specific space. Therefore, the user U does not need a physical admission ticket or a two-dimensional barcode. There is no need to carry a card, and the person can pass through the gate 3 using only the portable terminal 2.

[0085] Furthermore, according to the gate opening method of this embodiment, the user U passes through multiple gates. When entering the gate, there are multiple gates without preparing physical tickets or 2D barcodes for each gate. Therefore, the convenience of the user U is improved and the user A gate opening method and a gate opening system that can provide users with a new gate entry experience Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the gate 3 can be provided with a ticket management table. is stored, the user U is permitted to enter the designated space without the intervention of the management server 4. It will be decided whether or not to do so.

[0086] Note that the process A consisting of steps S7 and S8 shown in FIG. 6 is replaced by the process shown in FIG. 9. In this regard, an alternative process to process A will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a process that is an alternative to the process A shown in FIG. .

[0087] As shown in FIG. 9, in step S15, the mobile terminal 2 communicates with the mobile terminal 2 via near field communication (NFC ) through the gate opening signal and the public key of the mobile terminal 2, and associate the public key of the mobile terminal 2 For example, if a user U sends the mobile terminal 2 to the N Regardless of the FC interface (part of the network interface 35), A gate opening signal, a public key, and an electronic certificate are transmitted from the mobile terminal 2 to the gate 3 .

[0088] Next, the gate 3 determines whether the received digital certificate is valid (step S 16). In particular, Gate 3 stores the owner information, issuer information, and digital signature (Hardware) of the digital certificate. Next, Gate 3 checks the expiration date of the digital certificate. Gate 3 determines the reliability of the issuer of the digital certificate. Here, the issuer of the digital certificate is: It may also be an intermediate certificate authority.

[0089] Next, after determining that the digital certificate is valid, the gate 3 obtains the public key of the mobile terminal 2. The gate 3 identifies the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 (step S17). A hash value is generated based on the public key (256 bits) of the mobile terminal 2 and a predetermined hash function. Then, the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 is identified from the generated hash value. In this case, if the hash value is 256 bits, the first 128 bits of the hash value are stored in the In this way, the gate 3 determines the IP address of the mobile terminal 2. Since it is possible to identify the address, the IP address of the identified mobile terminal 2 is Based on the ticket management table, whether or not to allow user U to enter a given space is determined. It can be determined.

After the process of step S5 (especially after a certain ticket is sold out or after the ticket sales period After a certain period of time has passed, the management server 4 transmits the ticket management table to the gate 3. On the other hand, in the gate opening method according to the modification, the management server 4 updates the ticket management table. Do not send to Port 3.

[0092] Next, as shown in FIG. 11, in step S25, the mobile terminal 2 receives the IP address of the gate 3. After that, the mobile terminal 2 receives the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 from the sender address. By using the IP address of Gate 3 as the destination address, A gate open signal is sent to the gate 3 via the network 5 (step S26). The process of step S25 is the same as the process of step S7 shown in FIG. Instead of the processes of steps S25 and S26, the processes shown in FIG. 9 may be applied.

[0093] Next, the gate 3 transmits a gate open signal and the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 via the communication network 5. The information indicating the address is transferred to the management server 4 (step S27). 4 is based on the ticket management table stored in the storage device 43 and the IP address of the mobile terminal 2. Based on this, whether or not to allow user U to enter a given space (e.g., a concert hall) Specifically, the management server 4 determines whether the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 is Checks whether the IP address matches one of the IP addresses contained in the ticket management table. Determine whether

[0094] Here, the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 is one of the multiple IP addresses included in the ticket management table. If the address matches one of the addresses, the management server 4 allows the user U to enter the specified space. After determining that the gate is permitted, a gate opening permission signal and ticket information are transmitted via the communication network 5. (seat information) to the gate 3 (step S29). does not match one of the IP addresses in the ticket management table, The management server 4 determines that the user U is not permitted to enter the predetermined space, and then A gate opening disallowance signal is transmitted to the gate 3 via the network 5 (step S29).

[0095] Next, if the signal sent from the management server 4 is a gate opening permission signal, the gate 3 (YES in step S30), the gate plate 37 is opened to allow the user U to enter the predetermined space. On the other hand, if the signal sent from the management server 4 indicates that the gate is not permitted, the If it is a signal (NO in step S30), the gate 3 outputs a warning sound from the speaker 38. (step S31).

[0096] Thereafter, in step S33, the gate 3 receives the ticket sent from the management server 4. The information is transmitted to the mobile terminal 2. After that, the ticket information is displayed on the display unit 26 of the mobile terminal 2. It is possible.

[0097] In this way, in the gate opening method according to the modified example, the mobile terminal 2 also has a unique IP address. Should a user U associated with the mobile terminal 2 using the Therefore, it is determined whether the portable terminal 2 itself is a Therefore, the user U can use the physical entrance ticket. There is no need to bring a ticket or two-dimensional barcode, and the user can pass through the gate 3 using only the mobile terminal 2. In the gate opening method according to the modified example, a ticket management table is installed at the gate 3. There is no need to store the bull, and Gate 3 does not need to perform the process of determining whether to allow entry. .

[0098] If the ticket management table shown in FIG. 7(b) does not include IP address information, The management server 4 refers to both the user management table and the ticket management table. The admission permission determination process defined in step S28 may be executed. In this case, first, The management server 4 manages the mobile terminal 2 based on the IP address and the user management table. The management server 4 then identifies the user ID of the user U corresponding to the IP address of the user 2.

Therefore, the mobile terminal 2 itself can be used as a key to unlock the door 39a of the vehicle 3a. Therefore, the user U needs to bring a physical key (such as a card key) Therefore, the door 39a can be unlocked using only the mobile terminal 2. In addition, when a user U uses multiple vehicles, he or she does not need to prepare a physical key for each vehicle. Therefore, the user U can unlock the doors of multiple vehicles. This will improve the user experience and provide a new car sharing or car rental experience to the user. This provides a convenient door unlocking method.

[0120] After the process of step S50, the mobile terminal 2 and the vehicle 3a know each other's IP addresses. Therefore, communication between the mobile terminal 2 and the vehicle 3a is established. 2 is connected to the vehicle 3a via a communication network 5 so as to be able to communicate with the vehicle 3a. The mobile terminal 2 transmits a door lock signal to the vehicle 3a requesting that the door 39a of the vehicle 3a be locked. On the other hand, the mobile terminal 2 can lock the door 39a of the vehicle 3a. 39a to the vehicle 3a, and a door unlock signal requesting unlocking of the door 39a is transmitted to the vehicle 3a. Furthermore, the establishment of communication between the mobile terminal 2 and the vehicle 3a can be Through this, the user U can use the mobile terminal 2 to control the driving of the vehicle 3a. For example, the user U can start the vehicle 3a using the mobile terminal 2. The user U can use the mobile terminal 2 to terminate the activation of the vehicle 3 a.

[0121] Note that the process B consisting of steps S46 and S47 shown in FIG. 15 is replaced by the process shown in FIG. In this regard, the following describes an alternative process to process B with reference to FIG. FIG. 19 is a flow chart for explaining a process that is an alternative to the process B shown in FIG. This is a chart.

[0122] As shown in FIG. 19, in step S53, the mobile terminal 2 communicates with the short-range wireless communication (NF C), the door unlock signal, the public key of the mobile terminal 2, and the public key of the mobile terminal 2 are transmitted. For example, if the user U connects the mobile terminal 2 to the vehicle 3a, the user U can a's NFC interface (part of network interface 35a) By doing so, the door unlock signal, the public key, and the electronic certificate are transmitted from the mobile terminal 2 to the vehicle 3a. do.

[0123] Next, the vehicle 3a determines whether the received electronic certificate is valid (step S 54). In particular, the vehicle 3a stores the owner information, issuer information, and digital signature (H Next, the vehicle 3a checks the expiration date of the electronic certificate. The vehicle 3a determines the reliability of the issuer of the electronic certificate. It may also be an intermediate certificate authority.

[0124] Next, after determining that the electronic certificate is valid, the vehicle 3a obtains the public key of the portable terminal 2 from the The vehicle 3a identifies the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 (step S55). A hash value is generated based on the public key (256 bits) of the mobile terminal 2 and a predetermined hash function. Then, the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 is identified from the generated hash value. In this case, if the hash value is 256 bits, the first 128 bits of the hash value are stored in the In this way, the vehicle 3a determines the IP address of the mobile terminal 2. Since it is possible to identify the address, the IP address of the identified mobile terminal 2 is Whether to allow the door lock of vehicle 3a to be unlocked based on the vehicle reservation management table It is possible to determine:

[0125] (Vehicle door unlocking method according to modified example) Next, a door unlocking method for the vehicle 3a according to a modified example will be described with reference to FIGS. 20 and 21. 20 and 21 show a modified example of a door unlocking method for a vehicle 3a. FIG. 10 is a sequence diagram for explaining a door lock release method according to a modified example. The process of determining whether to release the lock is executed by the management server 4a. The door lock unlocking method according to the modification is different from that according to the present embodiment. In explaining the method, the same processes as those of the door lock unlocking method of this embodiment will be explained. I won't explain it again.

[0126] As shown in FIG. 20, the processing of steps S60 to S64 is the same as that of step S40 shown in FIG. Since this process is the same as that in S44, no further explanation will be given. In the cancellation method, after the process of step S44, the management server 4a cancels the registration of the vehicle 3a. The vehicle reservation management table is transmitted to the vehicle 3a. In this method, the management server 4a does not transmit the vehicle reservation management table to the vehicle 3a.

[0127] Next, as shown in FIG. 21, in step S65, the mobile terminal 2 receives the IP address of the vehicle 3a. After that, the mobile terminal 2 receives the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 from the sender address. The IP address of the vehicle 3a is used as the destination address while the IP address of the vehicle 3a is used as the destination address. A door unlock signal is transmitted to the vehicle 3a via the network 5 (step S66). Here, the process of step S65 is the same as the process of step S46 shown in FIG. Furthermore, instead of the processes in steps S46 and S47, the processes shown in FIG. 19 may be applied. .

[0128] Next, the vehicle 3a transmits the door unlock signal and the The information indicating the IP address is transferred to the management server 4a (step S67). The server 4a receives the IP address of the vehicle 3a, which is the destination address, and sends the IP address to the server 4a based on the vehicle management table. Next, the management server 4a identifies the vehicle ID of the vehicle 3a. Then, the management server 4a reads the vehicle reservation management table of the vehicle 3a based on the information. a vehicle reservation management table for the vehicle 3a stored in a storage device, an IP address of the mobile terminal 2, Determine whether to allow door 39a to be unlocked based on information about the current date and time Specifically, the management server 4a executes the process for the reservation time period including the current date and time (step S68). The IP address corresponding to the user ID who reserved the vehicle 3a matches the IP address of the mobile terminal 2. If the two IP addresses match, the administrator The management server 4a determines that the door 39a is to be unlocked and then issues a door unlock permission. On the other hand, if the two IP addresses do not match, The management server 4a determines that unlocking of the door 39a is not permitted, and then A removal / non-permission signal is transmitted to the vehicle 3a (step S69).

[0129] After that, if the signal transmitted from the management server 4a is a door unlock permission signal, (YES in step S70), the control unit 30a of the vehicle 3a sends a door unlock signal to the door lock. The door lock control circuit 36a responds to the door lock release signal. Then, the door lock mechanism 37a is driven to unlock the door 39a. In this way, the door lock of the vehicle 3a is released (step S72). If the signal transmitted from the vehicle is a door unlock prohibition signal (NO in step S70), The vehicle 3a outputs a warning sound from the speaker 38a (step S71).

[0130] In this way, in the vehicle door lock unlocking method according to the modified example, the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 is also It is determined whether or not the door 39a of the vehicle 3a is permitted to be unlocked using the address. Therefore, the mobile terminal 2 itself can be used as a key to unlock the door 39a of the vehicle 3a. Therefore, the user U does not need to bring a physical key (such as a card key). The door 39a can be unlocked using only the mobile terminal 2, without the need for a key. When a user U uses multiple vehicles, he / she can use multiple vehicles without preparing a physical key for each vehicle. Therefore, the convenience of the user U can be improved. At the same time, we will provide a driver who can provide a new car sharing or car rental experience to users U. In addition, a door unlocking method according to a modified example can be provided. There is no need to store a vehicle reservation management table in the vehicle 3a, and the vehicle 3a does not need to lock its doors. There is no need to determine whether to release the

[0131] If the vehicle reservation management table shown in FIG. 17 does not include IP address information, The server 4a refers to both the user management table and the vehicle reservation management table. The door unlock determination process defined in step S68 may be executed. Then, the management server 4a identifies the mobile terminal 2 based on the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 and the user management table. The user ID of the user U corresponding to the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 is then identified. The server 4a retrieves the reservation information including the current date and time based on the identified user ID and the vehicle reservation management table. Check whether the user ID who reserved the vehicle 3a during the approximate time period matches the identified user ID. It may be judged.

The management server 4b transmits the information to the management server 4b (step S80). Please note that the web browser on the mobile device 2 also functions as a HTTP The request signal is sent to the management server 4b according to a communication protocol such as the above. In response to the request signal transmitted from the mobile terminal 2, the server 4b A room reservation page (WEB page) is sent to the mobile terminal 2 (step S81). Before and after the process of step S80 is executed, the management server 4b (WEB server) provides To log in to online sites (especially online sites for room reservations) A login process may be performed.

[0142] Next, in step S82, the user U inputs the following through the input operation unit 27 of the portable terminal 2: The room reservation information for reserving the room 3b is input to the mobile terminal 2. The room reservation information is For example, information for identifying the reserved room 3b and information regarding the date and time of use of the room 3b In this way, the mobile terminal 2 executes the room reservation process.

[0143] Next, in step S83, the mobile terminal 2 receives the room reservation information input to the mobile terminal 2. The management server 4b then transmits the part transmitted from the mobile terminal 2 to the management server 4b. Based on the room reservation information, the user management table, and the room management table, The room reservation management table (see FIG. 27) is updated (step S84). In this case, the management server 4b receives information for identifying the room 3b included in the room reservation information and Based on the room management table, the room ID corresponding to room 3b is identified. The server 4b reads the room reservation table associated with the room ID of the room 3b. The management server 4b receives information about the date and time of use of the room 3b included in the room reservation information. and information about the user U (user ID, IP address of the mobile terminal 2, etc.), Update the room reservation management table for room 3b.

[0144] In addition, a user management table, a room management table (see FIG. 26), and a room reservation management table are also included. The table (see FIG. 27) is an example of a management table. These management tables are The user management table is stored in the storage device of the server 4b. Multiple user ID information (user identification information) and multiple IP addresses unique to multiple mobile devices It contains IP address information that indicates the user's IP address and multiple user attribute information (contact information, credit card information, etc.). The room management table contains room ID information that indicates the IDs of multiple rooms, and IP addresses of multiple rooms. It includes IP address information that indicates the address and multiple room attribute information (room number, location, etc.). In the user management table, user IDs, IP addresses, and user attribute information are associated with each other. In particular, each of the plurality of pieces of user ID information is one of the plurality of pieces of IP address information. The room management table is also associated with one of a plurality of pieces of user attribute information.

[0145] The room reservation management table also stores information about the date and time of use of the room 3b, The room reservation management table contains the user ID information and the IP address information corresponding to the user ID. In the rule, these pieces of information are associated with each other. For example, the user ID of user U and The IP address of the mobile terminal 2 associated with the user U and the IP address of the user U using the room 3b Information about the date and time of use is registered in the room reservation management table.

[0146] Next, in step S85, the management server 4b receives the room ID via the communication network 5. The reservation management table is sent to room 3b (door lock control system 30b). The room reservation management table is stored in the storage device 33b of the lock control system 30b. The management server 4b uses the date and time of use of the room 3b instead of the room reservation management table. information about the band and information about user U (user ID and IP address of mobile terminal 2, etc.) In this case, the door lock control system 30b may transmit the signal to the door lock control system 30c. 0b stores the information in the storage device 33b based on the information transmitted from the management server 4b. The room reservation management table may be updated accordingly.

[0147] FIG. 24 illustrates a series of processes related to room reservation via the mobile terminal 2. Referring to FIG. 25, the process of unlocking the door 32b of the reserved room 3b is as follows: In the process from step S86 onwards, the user U is in the vicinity of the door 32b. This shall be done.

[0148] As shown in FIG. 25, in step S86, the mobile terminal 2 receives the IP address of the room 3b. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 28, in step S91, the user U The two-dimensional barcode (for example, a QR code) displayed on the door 32b is scanned by the camera of the mobile terminal 2. Then, the control unit 20 of the mobile terminal 2 controls the camera 24 to capture the image. Next, in step S92, image data representing the obtained two-dimensional barcode is acquired. The control unit 20 analyzes the image data showing the two-dimensional pattern, and Obtain information (128 bits) about the IP address of the included room 3b.

[0149] Next, returning to FIG. 25, in step S87, the mobile terminal 2 A door unlock signal requesting unlocking of the door 32b is sent to the door lock control system via the Specifically, the mobile terminal 2 transmits the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 to the transmission source system 30b. The IP address of room 3b is used as the destination address. In this way, a door unlock signal is sent to the door lock control system 30b. The door lock control system 30b refers to the address of the source of the door unlock signal. , the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 can be identified.

[0150] Next, the door lock control system 30b reads the room reservation management data stored in the storage device 33b. The door 32 is detected based on the cable, the IP address of the mobile terminal 2, and information about the current date and time. It is determined whether or not to permit unlocking of door lock b (step S88). The room control system 30b receives the user ID of the user who reserved the room 3b for the reservation time period including the current date and time. It is determined whether the IP address corresponding to the IP address matches the IP address of the mobile terminal 2. If the two IP addresses match, the door lock control system 30b , it is determined that unlocking of the door 32b is permitted (YES in step S88). If the two IP addresses do not match, the door lock control system 30b It is determined that unlocking of 32b is not permitted (NO in step S88).

[0151] If the determination result in step S88 is YES, the control of the door lock control system 30b The door lock control circuit 36b transmits a door lock release signal to the door lock control circuit 36b. The control circuit 36b drives the door lock mechanism 37b in response to the door lock release signal. In this way, the door lock of the room 3b is unlocked (step On the other hand, if the determination result in step S88 is NO, the door lock control system The system 30b outputs a warning sound from the speaker 38b (step S89).

[0152] In this way, according to the method for unlocking the door of the room 3b according to this embodiment, the mobile terminal 2 The IP address is used to determine whether to allow unlocking of door 32b of room 3b. Therefore, the mobile terminal 2 itself can be used as a key to unlock the door 32b. Therefore, the user U does not need to bring a physical key (such as a card key). The door 32b can be unlocked only by the mobile terminal 2 without the need for a key. U allows you to use multiple rooms without having to prepare a physical key for each room. Therefore, the convenience of the user U is improved. In addition, we provide a door unlocking method that can provide a new room sharing experience to user U. It is possible.

[0153] After the process of step S90, the mobile terminal 2 and the door lock control system 30b communicate with each other. Since the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 is known, the communication between the mobile terminal 2 and the door lock control system 30b is In this way, the mobile terminal 2 can communicate with the door lock via the communication network 5. Therefore, the mobile terminal 2 can communicate with the door 32. By transmitting a door lock signal to the door lock control system 30b requesting locking of the door On the other hand, the mobile terminal 2 can unlock the door 32b. The door 32 is unlocked by sending a requesting door unlock signal to the door lock control system 30b. b can be unlocked.

[0154] Note that the process C consisting of steps S86 and S87 shown in FIG. 25 is replaced by the process shown in FIG. In this regard, the following describes an alternative process to process C with reference to FIG. FIG. 29 is a flow chart for explaining a process that is an alternative to the process C shown in FIG. 25. This is a chart.

[0155] As shown in FIG. 29, in step S93, the mobile terminal 2 communicates with the short-range wireless communication (NF C), the door unlock signal, the public key of the mobile terminal 2, and the public key of the mobile terminal 2 are transmitted. The user U then sends the associated digital certificate to the door lock control system 30b. The mobile terminal 2 is connected to the NFC interface (network) of the door lock control system 30b. By using the interface 35a, the door unlock signal, the public key, and the electronic The certificate is transmitted from the mobile terminal 2 to the door lock control system 30b.

[0156] Next, the door lock control system 30b checks whether the received digital certificate is valid. In particular, the door lock control system 30b determines whether the electronic certificate is valid or not (step S94). The owner information, issuer information, and digital signature (hash value) are then verified. The door lock control system 30b checks the expiration date of the electronic certificate. The system 30b determines the reliability of the issuer of the digital certificate. It may also be an intermediate certificate authority.

[0157] Next, the door lock control system 30b determines that the digital certificate is valid and then The IP address of the portable terminal 2 is identified from the public key of the portable terminal 2 (step S95). The door lock control system 30b then compares the public key (256 bits) of the mobile terminal 2 with a predetermined A hash value is generated based on the hash function, and the generated hash value is used to Identify the IP address of the mobile terminal 2. At this point, the hash value is 256 bits. In this case, the first 128 bits of the hash value are determined as the IP address of the mobile terminal 2. In this way, the door lock control system 30b can identify the IP address of the mobile terminal 2. Therefore, the IP address of the specified mobile terminal 2 and the room reservation management table Based on this, it can be determined whether to allow the door lock of room 3b to be unlocked. do.

[0158] (Room door unlocking method according to modified example) Next, a method for unlocking the door lock of the room 3b according to a modified example will be described with reference to FIGS. 30 and 31. 30 and 31 show a modified example of a method for unlocking the door of the room 3b. FIG. 10 is a sequence diagram for explaining the door lock release method according to the modified example. The determination process of whether to release the lock is executed by the management server 4b. The door lock unlocking method according to the modification is different from that according to the present embodiment. In explaining the method, the same processes as those of the door lock unlocking method of this embodiment will be explained. I won't explain it again.

[0159] As shown in FIG. 30, the processing of steps S100 to S104 is the same as that of step S shown in FIG. Since the process is the same as that of steps S80 to S84, no further explanation will be given. In the lock release method, after the process of step S84, the management server 4b The room reservation management table is sent to room 3b. In the lock release method, the management server 4b does not transmit the room reservation management table to the room 3b.

[0160] Next, as shown in FIG. 31, in step S105, the mobile terminal 2 After that, the mobile terminal 2 obtains the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 as the source address. By using the IP address of room 3b as the destination address, A door lock release signal is transmitted to the door lock control system 30b via the communication network 5. (Step S106). Here, the process of step S105 is the same as that of step S shown in FIG. 86. Furthermore, instead of the processes in steps S105 and S106, the process in FIG. The processes shown in the following may be applied.

[0161] Next, the door lock control system 30b notifies the door unlocking device 10 via the communication network 5. The signal and information indicating the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 are transferred to the management server 4b (step S 107). Thereafter, the management server 4b sends the destination address to the door lock control system 3. Based on the IP address of 0b (room 3b) and the room management table, the room ID of room 3b is calculated. Next, the management server 4b identifies the room reservation information for the room 3b based on the room ID of the room 3b. Then, the management server 4b reads the room information management table stored in the storage device. Based on the room reservation management table, the IP address of the mobile terminal 2, and information about the current date and time, Based on this, it is determined whether or not to permit unlocking of the door 32b (step S108). Specifically, the management server 4b receives the user who has reserved the room 3b for the reservation time period including the current date and time. Determine whether the IP address corresponding to the ID matches the IP address of the mobile terminal 2. If the two IP addresses match, the management server 4b will b) is permitted to be unlocked, and then a door unlock permission signal is sent to the door lock control system. On the other hand, if the two IP addresses do not match, the management The server 4b determines that the unlocking of the door 32b is not permitted, and then issues a door unlocking prohibition command. A permission signal is transmitted to the door lock control system 30b (step S109).

[0162] After that, if the signal transmitted from the management server 4b is a door unlock permission signal, (YES in step S110), the control unit 31b of the door lock control system 30b The door lock control circuit 36b transmits an unlock signal to the door lock control circuit 36b. In response to the door unlock signal, the door lock mechanism 37b is driven to lock the door 32b. In this way, the door of room 3b is unlocked (step S112). On the other hand, if the signal sent from the management server 4b is a door unlock prohibition signal, (NO in step S110), the door lock control system 30b issues a warning from the speaker 38b. A warning sound is output (step S111).

[0163] In this way, in the method for unlocking the door of the room 3b according to the modified example, the I of the mobile terminal 2 is also The P address is used to determine whether to allow the door 32b to be unlocked. Therefore, the mobile terminal 2 itself can be used as a key to unlock the room 3b. Therefore, the user U does not need to carry a physical key (such as a card key) and can use the mobile terminal 2 can unlock the door 32b. When using a room, you can lock the doors of multiple rooms without having to prepare a physical key for each room. Therefore, the convenience of the user U can be improved and the user U can It can provide a new room sharing experience by providing a door unlocking method. In the door lock release method according to the modification, a room reservation management table is stored in the room 3b. There is no need to store the information, and room 3b does not need to determine whether the door should be unlocked. There is no.

[0164] If the room reservation management table shown in FIG. 27 does not include IP address information, The server 4b refers to both the user management table and the room reservation management table. The process for determining whether the door is unlocked may be executed in step S108. First, the management server 4b determines the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 based on the IP address and the user management table. The user ID of the user U corresponding to the IP address of the mobile terminal 2 is identified. The server 4b receives the information including the current date and time based on the identified user ID and the room reservation management table.
