Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a house.

Background Art

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a technology for a house having an entrance door provided in an entrance space and used for entering and leaving the outside, and an interior door provided between the entrance space and the living space. The first key used by the resident can unlock both the entrance door and the interior door, and the second key used by a delivery person who delivers luggage or the like can only unlock the entrance door. This allows the delivery person to enter the entrance space to deliver and collect luggage without the resident directly witnessing it, which is highly convenient for the delivery person. Also, since the luggage can be carried indoors, it is highly convenient for the resident, and it is possible to avoid being perceived as being absent, resulting in high security.

[0003] In recent years, so-called visiting services, including various delivery services for delivering or collecting various items to and from houses, and various visiting services for providing some services by visiting houses, have diversified (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] By the way, visitors to a house include, in addition to delivery persons and visitors who visit houses in visiting services, ordinary guests such as neighboring residents and acquaintances of the residents. In other words, the people who may enter the entrance area of ​​a house are not limited to residents and delivery personnel; many other people may also enter. Therefore, in conventional houses, there is a high possibility that the paths of residents and visitors, or the paths of visitors themselves, will intersect in the entrance area. Thus, there is a demand to ensure safety by minimizing the intersection of various paths in the entrance area. However, as mentioned above, the opportunities to use in-home services are increasing year by year, so there is a demand to ensure that various traffic flows do not intersect as much as possible in the entrance area, while at the same time not compromising the convenience of receiving in-home services.

[0006] This invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and its objective is to improve safety by minimizing the intersection of movement paths between residents and visitors or among visitors themselves, while also eliminating hygiene concerns and improving the convenience of receiving visiting services. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The invention described in claim 1 is, for example, a house 1 as shown in Figures 1 to 4, Entrance space 11, An entrance space 12 is located adjacent to the aforementioned entrance space 11, A delivery closet 13 is located adjacent to the aforementioned entrance space 11 and is used to store delivered items. A clean closet 14 is located adjacent to the delivery closet 13 and is equipped with a handwashing area 143. An entrance door 121a with an entrance door 121b is located between the aforementioned entrance front space 11 and the aforementioned entrance space 12, A first entrance 131a with a first door 131b is located between the aforementioned entrance space 11 and the aforementioned delivery closet 13, A second entrance 132a with a second door 132b is located between the delivery closet 13 and the clean closet 14, A third entrance 141a is located between the clean closet 14 and the entrance space 12, A first locking / unlocking control device 21 for controlling the first lock that enables the locking and unlocking of the first door 131b, The system includes a second locking / unlocking control device 22 for controlling the second lock that enables the locking and unlocking of the second door 132b, The first locking / unlocking control device 21 includes a first authentication unit 211 provided in the entrance space 11 for authenticating the user who opens and closes the first door 131b, and a first control unit 212 that controls the operation of the first lock based on the authentication result of the first authentication unit 211. The second locking / unlocking control device 22 is characterized by having a second authentication unit 221 provided in the delivery closet 13 for authenticating the user who opens and closes the second door 132b, and a second control unit 222 that controls the operation of the second lock based on the authentication result of the second authentication unit 221.

[0008] According to the invention described in claim 1, the route from the entrance space 11 to the entrance space 12 and the route from the entrance space 11 to the delivery closet 13 are different, so the intersection of the movement paths of residents and visitors, or visitors with each other, can be prevented as much as possible. For this reason, for example, delivery personnel for various delivery services can go back and forth through the first entrance 131a to deliver and collect packages, regardless of whether residents and regular visitors go back and forth through the entrance 121a. Visitors for various visiting services can also go back and forth between the entrance space 11 and the clean closet 14 by passing through the first entrance 131a and the second entrance 132a, regardless of whether residents and regular visitors go back and forth through the entrance 121a. Furthermore, delivery personnel for various home delivery services and visitors for various home visit services can enter the delivery closet 13 after being authenticated by the first authentication unit 211 of the first locking / unlocking control device 21, and visitors for various home visit services can enter the clean closet 14 after being further authenticated by the second authentication unit 221 of the second locking / unlocking control device 22. Therefore, entry into the building can be prohibited for those who cannot be authenticated by the first authentication unit 211, and entry into the clean closet 14 can be prohibited for those who cannot be authenticated by the second authentication unit 221. Furthermore, since the clean closet 14 is equipped with a handwashing area 143, visitors to various visiting services can wash their hands before passing through the third entrance 141a and entering the entrance area 12. Residents and regular visitors can also enter the clean closet 14 from the entrance area 12 through the third entrance 141a and wash their hands at the handwashing area 143. This minimizes the intersection of movement paths between residents and visitors, or among visitors themselves, thereby enhancing safety and eliminating hygiene concerns, while also improving convenience for receiving in-home services.

[0009] The invention described in claim 2 is, for example, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, in the house 1 described in claim 1, The area between the entrance space 12 and the delivery closet 13 is characterized by being impassable.

[0010] According to the invention described in claim 2, since the area between the entrance space 12 and the delivery closet 13 is made impassable, routes can be reliably separated between the entrance space 12 and the delivery closet 13. This prevents direct movement between the entrance space 12 and the delivery closet 13, thereby enhancing safety.

[0011] The invention described in claim 3 is, for example, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, in the house 1 described in claim 1, The space between the entrance area 11 and the clean closet 14 is characterized by being impassable.

[0012] According to the invention described in claim 3, since the space in front of the entrance 11 and the clean closet 14 are made impassable, a route is formed to proceed from the space in front of the entrance 11 to the clean closet 14, either from the entrance space 12 side or the delivery closet 13 side. This prevents direct movement between the space in front of the entrance 11 and the clean closet 14, and ensures that routes are reliably separated into the entrance space 12 side and the delivery closet 13 side, thereby enhancing safety.

[0013] The invention described in claim 4 is, for example, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, in a house 1 described in any one of claims 1 to 3, The delivery closet 13 is positioned in a direction opposite to the entrance space 12 when viewed from the entrance space 11. It is characterized by the following:

[0014] According to the invention described in claim 4, The delivery closet 13 is positioned opposite to the entrance space 12 when viewed from the entrance space 11. Therefore, it becomes easier to separate the route from the entrance space 11 to the inside of the house into the entrance space 12 side and the delivery closet 13 side, thereby improving safety.

[0015] The invention described in claim 7 is, for example, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, in the house 1 described in claim 1, The aforementioned delivery closet 13 is provided with a food storage room 135 where food is stored. The food storage unit 135 is characterized by having multiple storage chambers 135a, 135b, and 135c with different temperature settings.

[0016] According to the invention described in claim 7, the food storage 135 provided in the delivery closet 13 has a plurality of storage rooms 135a, 135b, 135c with different temperature settings, so food can be stored and kept in the storage rooms 135a, 135b, 135c set at appropriate temperatures. And since the delivery closet 13 is provided with the food storage 135 having the storage rooms 135a, 135b, 135c set at temperatures suitable for food, the convenience for the delivery staff of the food delivery service can be enhanced.

[0017] The invention described in claim 8, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, in the house 1 described in claim 7, The delivery closet 13 is provided with a plurality of storage compartments 136, 137, 138 for storing articles other than food, Among the plurality of storage compartments 136, 137, 138, There is at least one of a first storage compartment 136 that a visitor entering the clean closet 14 through the second entrance 132a from the delivery closet 13 uses as a luggage storage area, a second storage compartment 137 that a delivery company uses for delivering or collecting luggage, and a third storage compartment 138 that a cleaning company uses for delivering or collecting clothing or the like.

[0018] According to the invention described in claim 8, the delivery closet 13 is provided with a plurality of storage compartments 136, 137, 138 for storing articles other than food, so articles other than food can be stored and kept. Furthermore, among the plurality of storage compartments 136, 137, 138, the first storage compartment 136 can be used as a luggage storage area by a visitor entering the clean closet 14 through the second entrance 132a from the delivery closet 13, so the convenience for a visitor entering the clean closet 14 can be enhanced. In addition, of the multiple storage units 136, 137, and 138, the second storage unit 137 can be used by courier companies for delivery or collection of packages, and the third storage unit 138 can be used by dry cleaners for delivery or collection of clothing, thus increasing convenience for delivery personnel of various courier services. [Effects of the Invention]

[0019] According to the present invention, it is possible to enhance safety by minimizing the intersection of movement paths between residents and visitors, or among visitors themselves, while also eliminating hygiene concerns and improving the convenience of receiving in-home services. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0020] [Figure 1] This is a floor plan showing the layout around the entrance area of ​​a house. [Figure 2] This is a perspective view showing the layout around the entrance area. [Figure 3] This is a perspective view showing the layout of the delivery closet. [Figure 4] This figure shows the configuration of the first locking / unlocking control device and the second locking / unlocking control device. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0021] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiments described below are subject to various technically preferred limitations for carrying out the present invention, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments and illustrated examples below. Note that the directions in the embodiments and illustrated examples below are set solely for the convenience of explanation.

[0022] In Figure 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a building. This building 1 is a multi-story residence, with a portion of the first floor used as a private space for residents. Another portion of the first floor is used as a multi-purpose space that can be used as an office, shop, telework room, workspace, or even an LDK (living room, dining room, kitchen). Furthermore, yet another portion of the first floor is used as a shared space for employees and residents when the multi-purpose space is used as an office, etc.

[0023] In the center of Building 1 in Figure 1 is Lounge 2, a shared space used by employees and residents of the multipurpose space. Although not shown in the diagram, Lounge 2 has an entrance on the south side, allowing direct access from outside. Lounge 2 is equipped with benches 2a that can be planted with plants and can be used as a waiting area.

[0024] To the east of Lounge 2 is a large multi-purpose space, Room 3, and to the west of Lounge 2 is a porch, Room 4. Furthermore, to the north of Lounge 2 is an entrance area, Room 12, which is a private space for residents.

[0025] In this embodiment, the large open space 3 is used as an office and is accessible to employees. Visitors to the office (such as guests or delivery personnel) enter the large open space 3 from the lounge 2. An opening 2b is formed between the lounge 2 and the large open space 3, and a glass wall 2c is provided in this opening 2b.

[0026] Porch 4 is a parking space and is a common space used by the employees and residents of the multipurpose space. A glass wall 5, including an openable glass window, is provided between Lounge 2 and Porch 4. In other words, a line of sight is visible between Lounge 2 and Porch 4 through the glass wall 5.

[0027] To the north of porch 4, there is an entrance space 11, which is the space immediately before entering the entrance space 12 mentioned above. Furthermore, the floor of porch 4 is shaped like a slope that descends from the entrance space 11 (north side) to the outdoors (south side). This makes it possible to make the route from outdoors to the entrance space 11 barrier-free, making it easier for people and wheelchairs to pass through, and also makes it easier for vehicles to park.

[0028] A porch wall 6 is provided on the west side of porch 4. The porch wall 6 has an opening 6a located on the west side of building 1 that connects porch 4 to the outdoors. A cooling louver device 7, consisting of horizontally elongated cooling louver materials arranged vertically, is installed in this opening 6a. The cooling louver device 7 is designed to lower the ambient temperature through the heat of vaporization that occurs when air flows between multiple water-retaining cooling louver materials, and is designed to cool the inside of porch 4 as air is drawn into porch 4 from the outdoors.

[0029] Furthermore, the area on the first floor of Building 1 that is located north of Lounge 2, the large open space 3, and Porch 4 is designated as a space exclusively for residents. In the first floor of building 1, the area designated as a resident-only space, particularly the entrance area 10 which can be recognized as an entrance, includes the entrance front space 11 and the entrance space 12 as shown in Figures 1 to 3. In other words, in building 1, which is a residence, the entrance area 10 that visitors to the resident-only space enter when they proceed indoors includes the outdoor entrance front space 11 and the indoor entrance space 12. Furthermore, the entrance area 10 includes the indoor delivery closet 13 and the indoor clean closet 14. Furthermore, a passageway area 15 is provided on the east side of the entrance area 10. The passageway area 15 includes an elevator 16 for going up to the upper floor, a staircase 17 for going up to the upper floor, and a corridor 18 that leads to a storage room located behind (east of) the elevator 16 and staircase 17.

[0030] Entrance space 11 is a space accessible to all visitors to the resident-only area. The entrance area 12 is a space where residents and visitors, including regular guests (such as neighbors or acquaintances of residents), enter. Delivery Closet 13 is a space accessible to residents and visitors, including delivery personnel and visitors providing in-home services. In-home services refer to various delivery services that deliver or collect goods to and from a residence, as well as various visiting services that provide services at the residence. Delivery services include postal services, courier services, and food delivery. Visiting services include services such as home medical care, home nursing care, home care, housekeeping, and home maintenance. Clean Closet 14 is a space for residents, regular visitors, and visitors from various visiting services to enter. In other words, visitors from various delivery services are not expected to enter Clean Closet 14.

[0031] The configuration of the entrance area 10 will be described in detail below.

[0032] The entrance space 11 is located adjacent to the north side of the porch 4, as described above. The entrance space 11 and the porch 4 form a continuous space without any partitions, and it is easy to move between the entrance space 11 and the porch 4. The entrance space 11 and porch 4, although covered by a roof (upper floor), are connected to the outdoors and are therefore recognized as outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Furthermore, the opening width dimension (east-west dimension) in the entrance space 11 is set to be shorter than the opening width dimension (east-west dimension) in the porch 4.

[0033] The entrance space 12 is located on the east side of the front entrance space 11 and adjacent to the north side of the lounge 2. The wall 121 between the entrance space 12 and the front entrance space 11 has an entrance door 121a with an entrance door 121b. The wall 122 between the entrance space 12 and the lounge 2 has a service entrance 122a with a sliding door.

[0034] Furthermore, the entrance space 12 has an entrance floor area 12a and an entrance hall area 12b. The entrance floor area 12a is a place where people take off and put on their shoes, and the entrance hall area 12b is a place where people move around with their shoes off.

[0035] The entrance area 12a is located south of the entrance hall area 12b, with a wall 121 between it and the entrance front space 11 on the west side and a wall 122 between it and the lounge 2 on the south side. The floor of the entrance area 12a is set at approximately the same height as the floor of the entrance space 11 and the lounge 2, and is finished with the same floor tiles as the floors of the entrance space 11 and the lounge 2.

[0036] The entrance hall area 12b is located north of the entrance floor area 12a, with the clean closet 14 on the west side and the corridor 18 on the east side. The entrance hall area 12b and the corridor 18 are a continuous space without any partitions, and it is easy to move between the entrance hall area 12b and the corridor 18.

[0037] The floor of the entrance hall area 12b is set at approximately the same height as the floor of the entrance floor area 12a, but it is finished with flooring that is continuous with the clean closet 14 and the corridor 18.

[0038] The delivery closet 13 is a room where delivered items are stored, and it is located adjacent to the west side of the entrance area 11 and the clean closet 14. In other words, when viewed from the entrance area 11, the delivery closet 13 is located in the opposite direction to the entrance area 12. To put it another way, the direction in which the entrance area 12 and the entrance area 11 are adjacent to each other is different from the direction in which the delivery closet 13 and the entrance area 11 are adjacent to each other.

[0039] The floor of the delivery closet 13 is set to approximately the same height as the floor of the entrance area 12a and the floor of the clean closet 14, and is finished with the same floor tiles as the floor of the entrance area 12a.

[0040] A first entrance / exit 131a with a first door 131b is formed in the wall 131 between the entrance space 11 and the wall 131. In this embodiment, the first door 131b is a sliding door, but it is not limited to this and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention. A second entrance 132a with a second door 132b is formed in the wall 132 between the clean closet 14 and the wall 132. In this embodiment, the second door 132b is a single-leaf door, but it is not limited to this and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention. More specifically, the second entrance 132a is formed between the wall 132 located on the north side and the partition wall 141 without an entrance, which will be described later.

[0041] Furthermore, direct passage between the delivery closet 13 and the entrance space 12 is not possible. In this embodiment, the entrance area 11 is interposed between the delivery closet 13 and the entrance area 12, making it impossible to pass between the delivery closet 13 and the entrance area 12. However, this is not the only example; even if the delivery closet 13 and the entrance space 12 are adjacent, if they are separated by a wall without an entrance, for example, it will be impossible to pass between the delivery closet 13 and the entrance space 12. In other words, there are obstacles such as other rooms (other spaces) or walls between the delivery closet 13 and the entrance space 12 that obstruct direct passage between the delivery closet 13 and the entrance space 12.

[0042] Furthermore, the delivery closet 13 includes two-tiered delivery boxes 133 and 134, a food storage room 135, a first storage room 136, a second storage room 137, and a third storage room 138.

[0043] There is a hollow space located between the wall 131 on which the first entrance 131a is formed and the western exterior wall, and between the porch 4 and the delivery closet 13. This hollow space opens to the porch 4 side (outdoor side) and to the delivery closet 13 side (indoor side).

[0044] Furthermore, the hollow space containing the delivery boxes 133 and 134 is divided into two levels by a partition floor 134P installed between wall 131 and the western exterior wall. Furthermore, the opening on the porch 4 side of the hollow space is divided into upper and lower sections, and the opening on the delivery closet 13 side is also divided into upper and lower sections. Of these, the outdoor opening of the lower delivery box 133 is referred to as the first outdoor opening 133a, and the indoor opening is referred to as the first indoor opening 133b. Similarly, the outdoor opening of the upper delivery box 134 is referred to as the second outdoor opening 134a, and the indoor opening is referred to as the second indoor opening 134b.

[0045] The first indoor opening 133b of the lower delivery box 133 and the second indoor opening 134b of the upper delivery box 134 can be opened and closed by the same indoor door 133c. The indoor door 133c is equipped with a lock that can be operated from the delivery closet 13 side. In other words, the lower first indoor opening 133b and the upper second indoor opening 134b can be opened and closed simultaneously by a single indoor door 133c, and the lock can be operated at the discretion of the resident. However, this is not limited to the above, and the first indoor opening 133b of the lower delivery box 133 and the second indoor opening 134b of the upper delivery box 134 may be opened and closed by separate indoor doors.

[0046] The first outdoor opening 133a of the lower delivery box 133 can be opened and closed by the outdoor lower door 133d. The outdoor lower door 133d is lockable, and by unlocking the lock, the outdoor lower door 133d can be opened to open the first outdoor opening 133a, and by locking the lock, the outdoor lower door 133d can be closed to block the first outdoor opening 133a.

[0047] The second outdoor opening 134a of the upper delivery box 134 can be opened and closed by the outdoor upper door 134d. The outdoor upper door 134d is lockable, and by unlocking the lock, the outdoor upper door 134d can be opened to open the second outdoor opening 134a, and by locking the lock, the outdoor upper door 134d can be closed to block the second outdoor opening 134a.

[0048] The locks on the lower outdoor door 133d and the upper outdoor door 134d of the upper and lower delivery boxes 133 and 134 can be operated by, for example, a lock / unlock control device (not shown). The lock / unlock control device is configured to be able to communicate wirelessly with an information terminal, such as a smartphone, used by visitors such as delivery personnel, and can operate the lock in response to operations on the information terminal. As a result, visitors such as delivery personnel can store and retrieve items from the first outdoor opening 133a and the second outdoor opening 134a. Furthermore, one of the two-tiered delivery boxes may be used exclusively for receiving packages, and the other exclusively for collecting them. In this case, the settings for using each box will be configured according to the control program of the locking / unlocking control device.

[0049] The food storage room 135 is located at the northern end of the delivery closet 13. In other words, the food storage room 135 is located in the position closest to the clean closet 14 within the delivery closet 13. Such a food storage unit 135 has multiple storage compartments with different temperature settings. These compartments include a refrigerated compartment 135a for refrigerated storage of food, a warming compartment 135b for keeping food warm, and a freezer compartment 135c for frozen storage of food. This allows it to accommodate the storage of fresh food, preserved foods, and delivered meals, thus reducing the burden of daily household chores and making it useful for special occasions such as restaurant meals and local specialties. In Figure 3, the space above the food storage unit 135 is designated as the installation space for the air conditioner.

[0050] The first storage room 136, the second storage room 137, and the third storage room 138 are for storing items other than food, and are located along the western outer wall of the delivery closet 13.

[0051] The first storage room 136 is located near the northern end of the delivery closet 13. This first storage room 136 is intended to be a cloakroom or locker used by visitors (visitors of various visiting services) who enter the clean closet 14 from the delivery closet 13 through the second entrance 132a to store their belongings.

[0052] The second storage unit 137 is located adjacent to the south side of the first storage unit 136. This second storage unit 137 is a shelf or locker used by delivery companies for the delivery or collection of packages. This second storage unit 137 allows for package receipt without cardboard boxes, reducing the effort of unpacking and the amount of waste. The second storage unit 137 has multiple storage compartments and can receive multiple packages simultaneously, so it can be used with many types of delivery services.

[0053] The third storage compartment 138 is located in two places adjacent to the south side of the second storage compartment 137, and also in one place within the space of the overhead shelf. These third storage units 138 are shelves or lockers used by cleaning companies for the delivery or collection of clothing. These third storage units 138 enable clothing cleaning, rental, and sales to be conducted without the need for cardboard boxes. Furthermore, the upper shelf space in the third storage room 138 is particularly wide, making it suitable not only for storing clothing but also for storing futons in futon cleaning and rental services.

[0054] Furthermore, the uses of the first storage room 136, the second storage room 137, and the third storage room 138 are not limited to those described above. In other words, the first storage room 136, the second storage room 137, and the third storage room 138 may be used to store items other than food, and only if the items are to be delivered or collected by delivery personnel of various courier services.

[0055] The clean closet 14 is a room equipped with a handwashing area 143, and is located adjacent to the east side of the delivery closet 13 and adjacent to the west side of the entrance hall area 12b. Furthermore, the clean closet 14 is located on the north side of the entrance area 11. The floor of the clean closet 14 is set to approximately the same height as the floor of the delivery closet 13 and the floor of the entrance hall area 12b, and is finished with flooring that is continuous with the entrance hall area 12b.

[0056] Furthermore, direct passage between the clean closet 14 and the entrance space 11 is not possible. In this embodiment, a partition wall 141 without an entrance is provided between the clean closet 14 and the entrance area 11, thereby making it impossible to pass between the clean closet 14 and the entrance area 11. However, this is not the only example; for instance, if a delivery closet 13 is located between the clean closet 14 and the entrance space 11, direct passage between the clean closet 14 and the entrance space 11 becomes impossible. In other words, there are obstacles such as other rooms (other spaces) or walls between the clean closet 14 and the entrance space 11 that obstruct direct passage between the clean closet 14 and the entrance space 11.

[0057] A third entrance / exit 141a is formed between the partition wall 141 and the entrance hall section 12b. More specifically, the third entrance / exit 141a is formed between the partition wall 141 and another wall 142 located at a distance from the north side of the partition wall 141. The other wall 142 is located on the entrance hall section 12b side of the clean closet 14. The third entrance 141a does not have a door and is always open, but this is not the only option; a door may also be provided.

[0058] As described above, the clean closet 14 is equipped with a handwashing area 143. The handwashing area 143 consists of a washbasin and faucet mounted on a platform, and this platform is located at the end of the clean closet 14 that faces the delivery closet 13. In addition, the clean closet 14 is equipped with a storage shelf 144 adjacent to the east side of the platform of the handwashing area 143. The handwashing area 143 and storage shelves 144 are positioned close to the north exterior wall, and the space between the handwashing area 143 and storage shelves 144 and the partition wall 141, which has no entrance, extends long in the east-west direction, much like a corridor.

[0059] In the entrance area 10 configured as described above, it is necessary to separate and guide into the building regular visitors, delivery personnel for various courier services, and visitors for various home visit services.

[0060] Regular visitors, such as neighbors or acquaintances of the resident, are guided by the resident from the front entrance space 11 through the entrance doorway 121a to the entrance floor area 12a. In other words, regular visitors are notified of their arrival by the resident via a door phone or the like (not shown), and the resident invites the regular visitors in through the entrance doorway 121a. As a result, regular visitors are guided through the entrance doorway 121a to the entrance floor area 12a.

[0061] On the other hand, delivery personnel for various home delivery services and visitors for various home visit services, since they are not regular visitors, proceed towards the delivery closet 13. To enable this, the building 1 of this embodiment is equipped with a first locking / unlocking control device 21 for controlling the first lock that enables the locking and unlocking of the first door 131b that opens and closes the first entrance 131a.

[0062] As shown in Figure 4(a), the first locking / unlocking control device 21 includes a first authentication unit 211 installed in the entrance space 11 for authenticating delivery personnel and visitors who open and close the first door 131b, and a first control unit 212 that controls the operation of the first lock based on the authentication result of the first authentication unit 211.

[0063] The first authentication unit 211 may employ various methods, such as facial recognition, fingerprint recognition, PIN entry, or authentication using NFC (Near Field Communication) provided in mobile information terminals like smartphones. Any of these may be adopted. The first authentication unit 211 shall also appropriately include a storage unit for registering information and various programs necessary for authentication, and a communication unit consisting of a communication module or the like. When entering a PIN, an appropriate input method such as a keypad or touch panel shall be provided. In this embodiment, an authentication method utilizing NFC (Near Field Communication) provided in a mobile information terminal such as a smartphone is employed.

[0064] The first control unit 212 is connected to the first authentication unit 211 in a communication manner, and upon receiving the authentication result from the first authentication unit 211, it operates the first lock of the first door 131b. In other words, when authentication is received by the first authentication unit 211, the first control unit 212 operates the first lock on the first door 131b, changing it from the locked state to the unlocked state. If authentication by the first authentication unit 211 fails, the first control unit 212 maintains the locked state of the first lock. The first lock is an auto-lock, designed to lock immediately after being unlocked. It can also be manually unlocked from the delivery closet 13 side.

[0065] Delivery personnel for various courier services and visitors for various home visit services undergo authentication at the first authentication unit 211. Upon successful authentication, the first lock is unlocked by the first control unit 212, allowing the first door 131b to open the first entrance 131a. They then enter the delivery closet 13 from the front entrance space 11. Inside the delivery closet 13, delivery personnel for various courier services can perform tasks such as storing packages in the food storage room 135 and various storage rooms 136, 137, and 138, collecting packages, and retrieving delivery containers.

[0066] Visitors for various home services need to proceed from the delivery closet 13 to the clean closet 14. To enable this, the building 1 of this embodiment is equipped with a second locking / unlocking control device 22 for controlling the second lock that enables the locking and unlocking of the second door 132b that opens and closes the second entrance 132a.

[0067] As shown in Figure 4(b), the second locking / unlocking control device 22 includes a second authentication unit 221 installed in the delivery closet 13 for authenticating the visitor who opens and closes the second door 132b, and a second control unit 222 that controls the operation of the second lock based on the authentication result of the second authentication unit 221.

[0068] The second authentication unit 221 employs the same configuration as the first authentication unit 211, so its explanation will be omitted. In other words, visitors for various home visit services can be authenticated in the same way as the first authentication unit 211. To enhance security, the authentication method in the second authentication unit 221 and the authentication method in the first authentication unit 211 may be deliberately made different. For example, if the first authentication unit 211 uses an authentication method that utilizes a mobile information terminal such as a smartphone, and the second authentication unit 221 uses facial recognition, then an intruder with a mobile information terminal such as a smartphone can enter the delivery closet 13, but cannot enter the clean closet 14.

[0069] Furthermore, the second control unit 222 employs the same configuration as the first control unit 212, so its explanation will be omitted. The second lock is an auto-lock, designed to lock immediately after being unlocked. It can also be manually unlocked from the Clean Closet 14 side.

[0070] Visitors for various home services undergo authentication at the second authentication unit 221. Upon successful authentication, the second lock is unlocked by the second control unit 222, allowing the second door 132b to open and the second entrance 132a to be opened. They then enter the clean closet 14 from the delivery closet 13. After washing their hands in the clean closet 14, the visitors for various home services pass through the third entrance 141a and enter the entrance hall 12b.

[0071] As described above, the building 1 of this embodiment includes a first lock / unlock control device 21 for controlling the first lock that enables the locking and unlocking of the first door 131b which opens and closes the first entrance 131a, and a second lock / unlock control device 22 for controlling the second lock that enables the locking and unlocking of the second door 132b which opens and closes the second entrance 132a. Therefore, in the entrance area 10, it is possible to separate and guide into the building ordinary visitors, delivery personnel for various courier services, and visitors for various home visit services.

[0072] Furthermore, the delivery closet 13 is equipped with security cameras and motion sensors, and it is possible to confirm whether there is a person inside the delivery closet 13 through monitoring devices, lights, and other notification means. Monitors displaying footage from security cameras are installed on the walls of at least the entrance area 12, allowing residents to view the footage. Furthermore, notification means such as lamps that notify the sensing results from the motion sensor may be provided in the entrance space 12, or in the space in front of the entrance 11. Alternatively, they may be provided in the first authentication unit 211 of the first locking / unlocking control device 21.

[0073] This embodiment provides the following excellent effects. In other words, the route from the entrance space 11 to the entrance space 12 is different from the route from the entrance space 11 to the delivery closet 13, so the intersection of the movement paths of residents and visitors, or visitors themselves, can be prevented as much as possible. For this reason, for example, delivery personnel for various delivery services can go back and forth through the first entrance 131a to deliver and collect packages, regardless of whether residents and regular visitors go back and forth through the entrance 121a. Similarly, visitors for various visiting services can go back and forth between the entrance space 11 and the clean closet 14 by passing through the first entrance 131a and the second entrance 132a, regardless of whether residents and regular visitors go back and forth through the entrance 121a. Furthermore, delivery personnel for various home delivery services and visitors for various home visit services can enter the delivery closet 13 after being authenticated by the first authentication unit 211 of the first locking / unlocking control device 21, and visitors for various home visit services can enter the clean closet 14 after being further authenticated by the second authentication unit 221 of the second locking / unlocking control device 22. Therefore, entry into the building can be prohibited for those who cannot be authenticated by the first authentication unit 211, and entry into the clean closet 14 can be prohibited for those who cannot be authenticated by the second authentication unit 221. Furthermore, since the clean closet 14 is equipped with a handwashing area 143, visitors to various visiting services can wash their hands before passing through the third entrance 141a and entering the entrance area 12. Residents and regular visitors can also enter the clean closet 14 from the entrance area 12 through the third entrance 141a and wash their hands at the handwashing area 143. This minimizes the intersection of movement paths between residents and visitors, or among visitors themselves, thereby enhancing safety and eliminating hygiene concerns, while also improving convenience for receiving in-home services.

[0074] Furthermore, since the area between the entrance space 12 and the delivery closet 13 is made impassable, routes can be reliably separated between the entrance space 12 side and the delivery closet 13 side. This prevents direct movement between the entrance space 12 and the delivery closet 13, thereby enhancing security.

[0075] Furthermore, since the space in front of the entrance 11 and the clean closet 14 are made impassable, a route is formed to proceed from the space in front of the entrance 11 to the clean closet 14 either from the entrance space 12 side or the delivery closet 13 side. This prevents direct movement between the space in front of the entrance 11 and the clean closet 14, and ensures that routes are clearly separated into the entrance space 12 side and the delivery closet 13 side, thereby enhancing safety.

[0076] Furthermore, since the direction in which the entrance space 12 and the front entrance space 11 are adjacent to each other, and the direction in which the delivery closet 13 and the front entrance space 11 are adjacent to each other are in different directions, it becomes easier to separate the routes from the front entrance space 11 into the entrance space 12 side and the delivery closet 13 side, thereby enhancing safety.

[0077] Furthermore, the food storage unit 135 located in the delivery closet 13 has multiple storage rooms 135a, 135b, and 135c with different temperature settings, allowing food to be stored in the storage room 135a, 135b, or 135c set to the appropriate temperature. Since the delivery closet 13 is equipped with a food storage unit 135 having storage rooms 135a, 135b, and 135c set to temperatures suitable for food, convenience for food delivery service personnel can be enhanced.

[0078] Furthermore, the delivery closet 13 is equipped with multiple storage compartments 136, 137, and 138 for storing items other than food, so items other than food can be stored there. Furthermore, of the multiple storage rooms 136, 137, and 138, the first storage room 136 can be used as a luggage storage area by visitors entering the clean closet 14 from the delivery closet 13 through the second entrance 132a, thereby increasing convenience for visitors entering the clean closet 14. In addition, of the multiple storage units 136, 137, and 138, the second storage unit 137 can be used by courier companies for delivery or collection of packages, and the third storage unit 138 can be used by dry cleaners for delivery or collection of clothing, thus increasing convenience for delivery personnel of various courier services.

[0079] Furthermore, in recent years, there has been a growing demand for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and various initiatives are being undertaken in the construction industry. In this embodiment, a delivery closet 13 is provided in the entrance area 10 of a building such as a house, which prevents redelivery by delivery personnel of various delivery services. Therefore, it can contribute to reducing carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles when delivery personnel of various delivery services deliver packages (Target 13). Furthermore, the building 1 of this embodiment is equipped with a first lock / unlock control device 21 for controlling the first lock that enables the locking and unlocking of the first door 131b, and a second lock / unlock control device 22 for controlling the second lock that enables the locking and unlocking of the second door 132b. As a result, it is difficult for anyone other than a limited number of people to easily enter the building. In other words, it can improve the public safety of the area by providing superior security, and thus contribute to creating a city where people can continue to live (Objective 11).
