[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] (First Embodiment) A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 6. In the embodiments and modified examples described below, configurations corresponding to each other are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description of overlapping parts may be omitted. Furthermore, in the following description, expressions indicating relative or absolute arrangement such as "parallel", "perpendicular", "center", "coaxial", and the like not only strictly represent such arrangement, but also also represent a state of relative displacement with a tolerance or an angle or distance at which the same function can be obtained.

[0010] [Automatic Door Control System 1] FIG. 1 is a front view schematically showing an example of an automatic door control system 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of the automatic door control system 1. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a state of the automatic door control system 1 viewed from an opening side B1 and a target person U approaching the automatic door control system 1. The automatic door control system 1 identifies a target person U approaching an automatic door main body (automatic door) 11 of an automatic door device 10, displays an operation image F on a display unit 20, and controls opening and closing of the automatic door main body 11. The operation image F includes an opening / closing operation image F1 and other images necessary for operation. In the present embodiment, the automatic door control system 1 is provided in an opening T formed in a wall H of a building. The automatic door control system 1 includes an automatic door device 10 and an automatic door control device 2.

[0011] In the following description of the automatic door control system 1, the vertically lower side in the vertical direction A, which is the installation surface side of the automatic door device 10, is referred to as the lower side A2, and the vertically upper side in the vertical direction A, which is the opposite side to the installation surface, is referred to as the upper side A1. Furthermore, a horizontal direction intersecting perpendicularly to the vertical direction A along the wall portion H is defined as the left-right direction B, and a horizontal direction orthogonal to both the vertical direction A and the left-right direction B is defined as the indoor-outdoor direction C. In the left-right direction B, the left side where the automatic door main body (automatic door) 11 of the automatic door device 10 described later forms the entrance / exit TA is defined as the opening side B1. Further, in the left-right direction B, the right side that is always closed in the automatic door device 10 is defined as the closing side B2. Furthermore, one side in the indoor-outdoor direction C is defined as the indoor side C1, and the other side in the indoor-outdoor direction C is defined as the outdoor side C2.

[0012] Here, the target person U refers to all persons approaching the automatic door device. In the present embodiment, for example, among target persons U, a person wearing an IC tag 33 described later is defined as a specific person UA. The specific person UA is, for example, a person such as an elderly person or a child. However, the specific person UA is not particularly limited, and may not wear an IC tag 33.

[0013] [Automatic door device 10] As shown in Fig. 1, the automatic door device 10 is provided in an opening T formed in a wall portion H of a building. An operation is input to the automatic door device 10 via an input unit 21, and the automatic door device 10 opens and closes the automatic door main body 11 by acquiring an open signal from a control unit 40. The automatic door device 10 includes an automatic door main body (automatic door) 11, an automatic door driving unit 12, a lock mechanism 13, and a door control unit 14.

[0014] [Automatic door main body (automatic door) 11] As shown in Figure 1, the automatic door body (automatic door) 11 is installed on the opening side B1 when viewed from the indoor side C1 in the indoor-outdoor direction C in the automatic door device 10. The automatic door body 11 moves to the closing side B2 by the automatic door drive unit 12 described later, and is in the form of a sliding door that forms an entrance / exit TA on the opening side B1. The automatic door body 11 connects the inside and outside of a building or room at the entrance / exit TA, allowing people and objects to pass through. However, the automatic door body 11 is not particularly limited and may be installed on the opening side B2, forming an entrance / exit TA on the closing side B2.

[0015] The automatic door drive unit 12 is a well-known drive mechanism consisting of an electric motor or the like, located on the upper part of the automatic door body 11. The automatic door drive unit 12 receives an opening / closing operation instruction from the door control unit 14 and drives the automatic door body 11 in the left-right direction B to open and close the door.

[0016] The locking mechanism 13 locks the automatic door body 11 of the automatic door device 10. The locking mechanism 13 receives a setting or release instruction from the door control unit 14 and sets or releases the lock. The locking mechanism 13 is not particularly limited, and any well-known locking mechanism can be applied. When the locking mechanism 13 sets or releases the lock, it sends a completion signal to the door control unit 14.

[0017] [Door control unit 14] The door control unit 14 is configured using an information processing device such as a microcontroller. The door control unit 14 controls the automatic door body 11 so that it can be opened and closed, and also controls the locking mechanism 13.

[0018] When the door control unit 14 receives an open signal from, for example, the control unit 40 (described later), it instructs the lock mechanism 13 to release the lock, and the lock is released. When the door control unit 14 receives a signal from the lock mechanism 13 indicating that the release is complete, it instructs the automatic door drive unit 12 to open the automatic door body 11. The door control unit 14 also instructs the automatic door drive unit 12 to close the automatic door body 11 after, for example, a certain period of time has elapsed. After that, the door control unit 14 instructs the lock mechanism 13 to set the lock. Note that the lock mechanism 13 is not a mandatory component. The door control unit 14 does not need to receive a completion signal from the lock mechanism 13. The opening and closing control of the automatic door body 11 by the door control unit 14 is not particularly limited. For example, the door control unit 14 may receive a close signal in addition to the open signal from the control unit 40, or it may receive opening and closing signals from sensors (not shown). The door control unit 14 may also receive other information. Furthermore, the door control unit 14 may combine multiple received signals to control the opening and closing of the automatic door body 11.

[0019] [Automatic door control device 2] The automatic door control device 2 detects a person U approaching the automatic door device 10 and controls the opening and closing of the automatic door body 11 of the automatic door device. The automatic door control device 2 comprises a display unit 20, an input unit 21, an identification unit 30, and a control unit 40.

[0020] [Display section 20] Figure 4 shows the state in which the opening / closing operation image F1 of the operation image F is displayed on the display unit 20 of the automatic door control system 1. Figure 5 shows the state in which the operation image F is not displayed on the display unit 20 of the automatic door control system 1. The display unit 20 can use monitors such as OLED (organic light-emitting diode) displays, electronic paper, micro-LEDs, LCDs (liquid crystal displays), QLEDs (quantum array liquid crystal displays), and CLEDs (crystal LED displays). The display unit 20 displays the open / close operation image F1 of the operation image F on the display surface 20a in accordance with instructions from the control unit 40. The display unit 20 is not limited to the operation image F, and may also display identification information of the IC tag 33 or information indicating the result of the judgment.

[0021] The display unit 20 is, for example, roughly plate-shaped, and as shown in Figure 3, its display surface 20a, which is located on a horizontal plane along the vertical direction A and the left-right direction B, is positioned facing the indoor side C1. Also, as shown in Figure 1, the display unit 20 is mounted on the wall H on the opening side B1 of the automatic door device 10 when viewed from the indoor side C1 in the indoor-outdoor direction C. Therefore, when the automatic door body 11 of the automatic door device 10 is operated by the display unit 20 and opened, the person U can immediately pass through the entrance TA and exit from the indoor side C1 to the outdoor side C2.

[0022] Furthermore, it is preferable that the display unit 20 is embedded in the wall H so that it does not protrude entirely from the horizontal plane of the wall H. By preventing the entire display unit 20 from protruding from the horizontal plane of the wall H, it is possible to prevent damage to the display unit 20 from being struck by people or luggage passing near it, or from malfunction due to exposure to rain and wind. The display unit 20 may be installed on the outdoor side C2, or on the wall H of the closed side B2. Alternatively, the display unit 20 may protrude entirely from the horizontal plane of the wall H. Furthermore, the display unit 20 may be erected by a support member such as a pole instead of the wall H. The height position of the display unit 20 from the installation surface is not particularly limited and is set at a height that is easy for the administrator (not shown) who manages the automatic door control system 1 or the target person U to operate.

[0023] The display unit 20 is, for example, a touch panel. The display unit 20 includes an input unit 21 on the display surface 20a that allows information to be input. The display unit 20 is in a state where it is displaying the opening / closing operation image F1 of the operation image F before it receives an image display instruction from the control unit 40. However, the display unit 20 does not have to display the opening / closing operation image F1 before it receives the display instruction from the control unit 40.

[0024] Here, the opening / closing operation image F1 is, for example, an opening / closing button image as shown in Figure 4. The opening / closing operation image F1 is included in operation image F and is stored in the storage unit 41.

[0025] [Input section 21] The input unit 21 is a touch panel input unit that allows information to be input by receiving an operation input from the target person U on the open / close operation image F1 displayed on the display surface 20a. The input unit 21 is provided on the display surface 20a of the display unit 20. The input unit 21 accepts operation input from the target person U. Specifically, the input unit 21 receives operation input when the open / close button on the open / close operation image F1 on the display surface 20a is pressed. Note that the input unit 21 is not limited to a touch panel, and input may also be received by operating a remote control, keyboard, mouse, etc.

[0026] The display unit 20 transmits an open signal to the control unit 40 to open the automatic door body 11 of the automatic door device 10 when an operation for the open / close operation image F1 is input from the input unit 21. The display unit 20 does not transmit an open signal to the control unit 40 if no operation for the open / close operation image F1 is input from the input unit 21. The signal that the display unit 20 transmits to the control unit 40 is not limited to an open signal; it may also transmit a signal to close the automatic door body 11 (close signal) or other signals.

[0027] [Identification unit 30] The identification unit 30 identifies a person U approaching the automatic door body 11 of the automatic door device 10. In this embodiment, the identification unit 30 includes an IC tag detection unit 31 and an IC tag reading unit 32.

[0028] [IC tag detection unit 31] The IC tag detection unit 31 detects the IC tag 33 attached to a specific person UA. The IC tag detection unit 31 is, for example, an IC tag antenna. The IC tag detection unit 31 uses, for example, UHF (Ultra High Frequency) band radio waves to communicate with the IC tag 33 when it enters the radio wave range P, as shown in Figure 3, and detects the IC tag 33. The IC tag detection unit 31 is positioned so as to detect the IC tag 33 worn by a specific person UA ​​approaching the automatic door body 11 of the automatic door device 10 within the radio wave range P. The IC tag detection unit 31 is positioned facing the indoor side C1. However, the type and directivity of the radio waves of the IC tag detection unit 31 are not particularly limited. In addition, the radio wave range P of the IC tag detection unit 31 can be arbitrarily set, and the radio wave range P may be expanded by arranging multiple units. In this case, if multiple IC tag detection units 31 detect identification information from the same IC tag 33 and the information is transmitted to the control unit 40 by the IC tag reading unit 32, the control unit 40 will process the information while removing the duplicates. Furthermore, the IC tag detection unit 31 can continuously monitor and detect the IC tag 33 that has entered the radio wave field P within the radio wave field P.

[0029] [IC tag reading unit 32] The IC tag reading unit 32 reads the identification information stored in the IC tag 33 and transmits the information detected by the IC tag detection unit 31 (detection information) and the read identification information to the control unit 40 as an identification result. The IC tag reading unit 32 also transmits an alarm signal to the control unit 40 if, for example, the time for which the IC tag 33 was detected in the radio wave area P by the IC tag detection unit 31 is longer than a predetermined time. The identification result may include only the detection information and not the identification information.

[0030] The identification unit 30, with the configuration described above, distinguishes between specific individuals UA who are wearing the IC tag 33 and individuals who are not wearing the IC tag 33. In this embodiment, the identification unit 30 includes an IC tag detection unit 31 and an IC tag reading unit 32, but it does not necessarily have to include an IC tag reading unit 32, and the IC tag detection unit 31 may transmit the identification result to the control unit 40. In addition, the IC tag detection unit 31 may transmit an alarm signal to the control unit 40 if the time for which the IC tag 33 has been detected in the radio wave field P is longer than a predetermined time.

[0031] Here, the IC tag 33 is an IC tag 33 that performs contactless communication using electromagnetic induction or radio waves. For example, the IC tag 33 can be an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag. A specific person UA ​​wears this IC tag 33 on a daily basis. Identification information for identifying the specific person UA ​​is recorded on the IC tag 33. The IC tag 33 has the function of transmitting this identification information to the outside. The identification information is, for example, personal identification information uniquely assigned to the IC tag 33. The IC tag 33 may also contain information about the specific person UA, such as age and place of origin.

[0032] [Control Unit 40] The control unit 40 controls the operation of the entire automatic door control system 1. The control unit 40 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), ROM (Read Only Memory), or RAM (Random Access Memory) that executes programs. The control unit 40 includes a storage unit 41, a communication unit 42, an identification and determination unit 43, and a transmission unit 44.

[0033] [Storage section 41] The storage unit 41 is a storage means such as ROM, RAM, or HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and stores programs and data. The storage unit 41 stores operation images F to be displayed on the display unit 20. The operation images F include the aforementioned open / close operation image F1 and other images necessary for the operation. In this embodiment, the storage unit 41 stores the open / close operation image F1 as shown in Figure 4. The operation images F stored in the storage unit 41 are not particularly limited and may include multiple images. Furthermore, the storage unit 41 can store any number of image data, not just operation images.

[0034] [Communications Section 42] The communication unit 42 transmits and receives data or information to the automatic door device 10 connected to the control unit 40, the display unit 20, and the identification unit 30, for example, via a wired or wireless network. When the communication unit 42 receives an open signal from the display unit 20, it controls the opening and closing of the automatic door body 11 based on the operation performed on the open / close operation image F1 displayed on the display unit 20 from the input unit 21. Specifically, when the open / close operation image F1 is displayed on the display unit 20, and the communication unit 42 receives an operation for the open / close operation image F1 from the input unit 21 and receives an open signal from the display unit 20, it transmits the open signal to the door control unit 14 of the automatic door device 10.

[0035] [Identification and determination unit 43] The identification determination unit 43 controls the operation image F to be displayed on the display unit 20 according to the identification result from the identification unit 30. If the identification determination unit 43 obtains an identification result from the identification unit 30, it sends an image display instruction to the display unit 20. In this embodiment, the display unit 20 is displaying the open / close operation image F1 of the operation image F before it obtains an image display instruction from the control unit 40. If the identification determination unit 43 obtains an identification result from the identification unit 30, it sends an image display instruction to the display unit 20 to turn off the display of the open / close operation image F1. If the identification determination unit 43 has not obtained an identification result from the identification unit 30, it does not send an image display instruction to the display unit 20 and maintains the state in which the open / close operation image F1 is displayed, as shown in Figure 4. The display unit 20 does not need to display the open / close operation image F1 before obtaining an image display instruction from the control unit 40, and the identification determination unit 43 can arbitrarily control the operation image F to be displayed on the display unit 20 according to the identification result from the identification unit 30.

[0036] [Transmission Unit 44] When the transmitting unit 44 receives an alarm signal from the identification unit 30, it communicates with the external terminal 51 via the communication network 50.

[0037] The communication network 50 connects the control unit 40 and the external terminal 51. The communication network 50 can use, for example, a known communication network. The communication method is not particularly limited and may be wired or wireless, for example, an internet line, a telephone line, etc.

[0038] The external terminal 51 is a device capable of communicating with the transmitting unit 44 via the communication network 50. Preferably, the external terminal 51 is portable, for example, by the administrator of the automatic door control system 1. The external terminal 51 is not particularly limited and may be a portable device such as a smartphone, tablet, portable personal computer, mobile phone, or wearable device. However, the external terminal 51 is not particularly limited and may be a non-portable terminal device.

[0039] The transmitting unit 44 may, for example, transmit a signal to display a warning to an alarm device unit (not shown), such as a patrol light (registered trademark), speaker, or monitor, in addition to the external terminal 51.

[0040] [Operation and Function of Automatic Door Control System 1] Next, the operation and function of the automatic door control system 1 will be described with reference to Figure 6. Figure 6 is a flowchart illustrating the operation and function of the automatic door control system 1.

[0041] First, the memory unit 41 stores an operation image F, which includes an opening / closing operation image F1 as shown in Figure 4, and other images necessary for the operation. The automatic door control system 1 starts operating with the operation image F stored in the memory unit 41.

[0042] (Step S1) In step (identification step) S1, a person U who is about to leave the building approaches the automatic door control system 1. The identification unit 30 identifies a specific person UA ​​who is wearing an IC tag 33 and a person who is not wearing an IC tag 33. The IC tag detection unit 31 provided in the identification unit 30 of the automatic door control system 1 constantly monitors the IC tag 33. The IC tag detection unit 31 detects whether the IC tag 33 has entered the radio wave field P. If the identification unit 30 detects that the IC tag 33 has entered the radio wave field P, the IC tag reading unit 32 reads the identification information stored in the IC tag 33 and transmits the detection information and the identification information to the control unit 40 as the identification result. The identification unit 30 then executes step S2. If the identification unit 30 does not detect the IC tag 33 within the radio wave field P, it executes step S4.

[0043] (Step S2) In step S2, the IC tag detection unit 31 provided in the identification unit 30 of the automatic door control system 1 can continuously detect the IC tag 33 within the radio wave field P once it has entered the radio wave field P. The IC tag reading unit 32 of the identification unit 30 transmits an alarm signal to the control unit 40 if the time for which the IC tag was detected by the IC tag detection unit 31 within the radio wave field P is longer than a predetermined time. After that, the automatic door control system 1 executes step S3. The IC tag reading unit 32 does not transmit an alarm signal to the control unit 40 if the time for which the IC tag 33 was detected by the IC tag detection unit 31 within the radio wave field P is shorter than a predetermined time. Then, the automatic door control system 1 returns to step S1 and the IC tag detection unit 31 of the identification unit 30 continuously monitors the IC tag 33.

[0044] (Step S3) In step S3, when the control unit 40 receives an alarm signal from the identification unit 30, the transmitting unit 44 communicates with the external terminal 51 via the communication network 50. After that, the automatic door control system 1 completes its operation.

[0045] (Step S4) In step S4 (operation image control step), the identification determination unit 43 of the control unit 40 controls the operation image F to be displayed on the display unit 20 according to the identification result from the identification unit 30. If the identification determination unit 43 obtains an identification result from the identification unit 30, it turns off the display of the open / close operation image F1 and does not display it. If the identification unit 30 does not detect the IC tag 33, the identification determination unit 43 of the control unit 40 does not obtain an identification result. Therefore, if the identification determination unit 43 has not obtained an identification result from the identification unit 30, it can maintain the state in which the open / close operation image F1 is displayed. Next, the control unit 40 executes step S5.

[0046] (Step S5) In step (input step) S5, if the person U does not possess the IC tag 33 and is not detected by the identification unit 30, the person U operates the input unit 21 provided on the display surface 20a of the display unit 20. The input unit 21 receives operation input from the person U. If the display unit 20 receives an operation input for the open / close operation image F1 from the input unit 21, it sends an open signal to the control unit 40B. Next, the control unit 40 executes step S6. If the display unit 20B does not receive an operation input for the open / close operation image F1 from the input unit 21, it does not send an open signal to the control unit 40, returns to step S1, and the IC tag detection unit 31 of the identification unit 30 performs continuous monitoring of the IC tag 33 again.

[0047] (Step S6) In step (opening / closing control step) S6, when the opening / closing operation image F1 is displayed on the display unit 20, the communication unit 42 of the control unit 40 receives an operation for the opening / closing operation image F1 from the input unit 21 and obtains an open signal from the display unit 20, and transmits the open signal to the door control unit 14 of the automatic door device 10. Next, the control unit 40 executes step S7.

[0048] (Step S7) In step S7, when the door control unit 14 of the automatic door device 10 receives an open signal, it releases the lock mechanism 13. Next, the door control unit 14 of the automatic door device 10 performs step S8.

[0049] (Step S8) In step S8, when the lock mechanism 13 is released, the door control unit 14 of the automatic door device 10 sends an instruction to the automatic door drive unit 12 to open the door. In this embodiment, the automatic door drive unit 12 drives the automatic door body 11 to the closing side B2 in the left-right direction B. The automatic door body 11 then moves to the closing side B2 to form an entrance / exit TA on the opening side B1, allowing the target person U to pass through. Next, the door control unit 14 of the automatic door device 10 executes step S9.

[0050] (Step S9) In step S9, the door control unit 14 of the automatic door device 10 instructs the automatic door drive unit 12 to close the automatic door body 11, for example, after a certain period of time has elapsed. Subsequently, the door control unit 14 confirms, using a sensor (not shown) or the like, that the automatic door body 11 has closed and that the target person U has passed through, and then sets the lock mechanism 13. Once these steps are completed, the automatic door control system 1 terminates its operation.

[0051] In this embodiment, among the target persons U, a specific person UA ​​is wearing an IC tag 33. The automatic door control system 1 detects the specific person UA ​​approaching the automatic door body 11 of the automatic door device 10 using the IC tag detection unit 31 of the identification unit 30, and can distinguish between the specific person UA ​​wearing the IC tag 33 and persons not wearing the IC tag 33. Therefore, it is possible to control the operation image F to be displayed on the display unit 20 for the specific person UA ​​among the target persons U.

[0052] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the identification unit 30 detects the IC tag 33, the control unit 40 turns off the display of the opening / closing operation image F1 included in the operation image displayed on the display unit 20. With this configuration, the automatic door control system 1 can control the automatic door device 10 by disabling the input unit 21 displayed on the display unit 20 for a specific person UA. Therefore, the risk of a specific person UA, such as an elderly person or a child, running out of the building or wandering around can be eliminated.

[0053] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the identification determination unit 43 of the control unit 40 does not acquire an identification result if the identification unit 30 does not detect the IC tag 33. Therefore, the display unit 20 can maintain the state in which the opening / closing operation image F1 is displayed on the display surface 20a. With this configuration, the automatic door control system 1 enables operation input to the input unit 21 from a target person U who does not have an IC tag 33.

[0054] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the transmitting unit 44 of the control unit 40 receives an alarm signal from the identification unit 30, it can communicate with the external terminal 51. Therefore, the administrator of the automatic door control system 1 can determine from the information obtained by the external terminal 51 that a specific person UA ​​is near the automatic door device 10. In addition, the IC tag reading unit 32 of the identification unit 30 transmits an alarm signal to the control unit 40 if the time for which the IC tag 33 was detected in the radio wave area P by the IC tag detection unit 31 is longer than a predetermined time. Therefore, the automatic door control system 1 can be configured not to transmit an alarm signal if a specific person UA ​​passes near the automatic door device 10 for a short period of time.

[0055] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the transmitting unit 44 can transmit a signal to display a warning to an alarm device unit (not shown), such as a patrol light (registered trademark), speaker, or monitor, in addition to the external terminal 51. In this case, the alarm device unit is, for example, placed around the automatic door device 10, and when it receives a signal from the transmitting unit 44, it emits sound or light as an alarm. This allows the transmitting unit 44 to inform people other than the specific person UA ​​in the vicinity of the automatic door device 10 that the specific person UA ​​is nearby, thereby preventing the specific person UA ​​from leaving.

[0056] Although the first embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and design changes and the like are also included within the scope of the gist of the present invention. Furthermore, the components shown in the above embodiment and the modifications shown below can be combined as appropriate.

[0057] (Second embodiment) Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 7 and 12. In the following description, components common to those already described will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations will be omitted. Note that in the following embodiments, the display unit, identification unit, and control unit differ from those of the first embodiment. Therefore, the following description will focus on the differences from the first embodiment.

[0058] Figure 7 is a configuration diagram of the automatic door control system 1A according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 is a configuration diagram of the automatic door control system 1A. Figure 9 shows the automatic door control system 1A as viewed from the opening side B1 and a person U approaching the automatic door control system 1A.

[0059] In the automatic door control device 2A of the automatic door control system 1A, the display unit 20A does not display the opening / closing operation image F1 of the operation image F before receiving an image display instruction from the control unit 40A, compared to the first embodiment.

[0060] The identification unit 30A of the automatic door control system 1A identifies a person U approaching the automatic door body 11. The identification unit 30A includes a camera (shooting unit) 31A and a facial recognition unit 32A.

[0061] [Camera (shooting unit) 31A] Camera (shooting unit) 31A photographs the face of the target person U. Camera 31A is installed on the indoor side C1. In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 9, camera 31A is set to a shooting range PA that can photograph the face of the target person U approaching the automatic door body 11 of the automatic door device 10. Camera 31A photographs the face of the target person U when it enters the shooting range PA. Camera 31A transmits the captured face image data of the target person U to the face recognition unit 32A. However, the shooting range PA of camera 31A is not particularly limited. Also, the shooting range PA of camera 31A can be set arbitrarily, and the shooting range PA may be expanded by arranging multiple cameras.

[0062] Camera 31A may be activated by a trigger such as a thermal sensor that detects the body temperature of a person U approaching camera 31A, or a motion sensor that detects the movement of person U, or person U may manually activate camera 31A. Furthermore, the timing of camera 31A's shooting may be set to take an image automatically using a timer after camera 31A is activated, or person U may manually operate camera 31A to take an image. Multiple cameras 31A may be provided.

[0063] [Facial Recognition Unit 32A] Figure 10 shows the case where the face of a specific person UA ​​in the face image storage data does not match the face of a target person U in the face image data captured by the camera 31A in the face recognition unit 32A of the automatic door control system 1A. Figure 11 shows the case where the face of a specific person UA ​​in the face image storage data matches the face of a target person U in the face image data in the face recognition unit 32A of the automatic door control system 1A. The facial recognition unit 32A identifies the face of the target person U and the face of a specific person UA ​​stored in the facial data storage unit 33A (described later), and transmits the facial recognition result (identification information) to the control unit 40A. The facial recognition unit 32A comprises a facial data storage unit 33A and a facial recognition determination unit 34A.

[0064] The face data storage unit 33A is a storage means such as ROM, RAM, or HDD, and stores programs and data. The face data storage unit 33A stores face image data of multiple specific individuals UA in advance. The face data storage unit 33A also stores face image data of target individuals U captured by the camera 31A as a database (not shown). The face image data stored in the face data storage unit 33A is not particularly limited, and any number of image data can be stored. Furthermore, the face data storage unit 33A does not have to be provided in the identification unit 30A. For example, the face data storage unit 33A may be provided in the control unit 40A.

[0065] The face recognition determination unit (face recognition unit) 34A authenticates the face of the target person U and identifies the face of a specific person UA ​​from among the faces of the target person U. In this embodiment, the face recognition determination unit 34A identifies the face of the specific person UA ​​in the face image storage data stored in the face data storage unit 33A from among the faces of the target person U in the face image data of the target person U captured by the camera 31A, and determines whether they match or not. As shown in Figure 10, if the face of the specific person UA ​​in the face image storage data does not match the face of the target person U in the face image data, the face recognition determination unit 34A determines it as OK and transmits the face recognition result to the control unit 40A. As shown in Figure 11, if the face of the specific person UA ​​in the face image storage data matches the face of the target person U in the face image data, the face recognition determination unit 34A determines it as NG, does not transmit an OK face recognition result to the control unit 40A, and transmits an alarm signal. Note that the face recognition result (identification information) is not limited to this embodiment, and OK and NG may be reversed. Furthermore, the facial recognition determination unit 34A is not limited to information regarding the facial recognition result (OK or NG), but can transmit any information.

[0066] The control unit 40A controls the operation of the entire automatic door control system 1A, similar to the first embodiment. The control unit 40A includes a storage unit 41, a communication unit 42, an identification determination unit 43A, and a transmission unit 44. The communication unit 42, the storage unit 41, and the transmission unit 44 are the same as in the first embodiment, so their description is omitted.

[0067] The identification determination unit 43A controls the operation image F to be displayed on the display unit 20A according to the identification result of the identification unit 30A. In this embodiment, the display unit 20A does not display the open / close operation image F1 of the operation image F before receiving an image display instruction from the control unit 40A. If the identification determination unit 43A receives an OK judgment face authentication result from the face authentication unit 32A of the identification unit 30A, it sends an image display instruction to the display unit 20A via the communication unit 42, causing the display unit 20A to display the open / close operation image F1. If the identification determination unit 43A does not receive a face authentication result from the face authentication unit 32A, it does not send an image display instruction to the display unit 20A and maintains a state where the display unit 20A does not display the operation image F. In this way, the identification determination unit 43A determines whether or not to display the open / close operation image F1 on the display unit 20A according to the identification result of the identification unit 30A.

[0068] [Operation and Function of Automatic Door Control System 1A] Next, with reference to Figure 12, the operation and function of the automatic door control system 1A according to the second embodiment will be described. Figure 12 is a flowchart showing the operation and function of the automatic door control system 1A. Here, steps S3 to S9 are the same as in the first embodiment, so the explanation will be omitted. First, the storage unit 41 stores an operation image F, which includes an opening / closing operation image F1 as shown in Figure 4, and other images necessary for the operation, as in the first embodiment. The automatic door control system 1A starts operation with the opening / closing operation image F1 stored in the storage unit 41.

[0069] (Step S1a) In step S1a, a person U, attempting to exit the building, approaches the automatic door control system 1A. When the identification unit 30A of the automatic door control system 1A detects that the face of person U is within the shooting range PA of the camera 31A, it activates the camera 31A and the automatic door control system 1A in a predetermined manner and begins operation. Note that the camera 31A and the automatic door control system 1A may remain activated at all times. The camera 31A captures the face of person U. The face recognition unit 32A of the identification unit 30A performs face recognition from the face image data acquired from the camera 31A.

[0070] The face recognition determination unit 34A authenticates the face of the target person U. The face recognition unit 32A identifies the face of a specific person UA ​​from the face image data of the target person U stored in the face image storage unit 33A. Then, the face recognition determination unit 34A of the face recognition unit 32A determines whether the face of the specific person UA ​​in the face image storage data matches the face of the target person U in the face image data. As shown in Figure 10, if the face of the specific person UA ​​in the face image storage data does not match the face of the target person U in the face image data, the face recognition determination unit 34A determines it to be OK and transmits the face recognition result to the control unit 40A, then executes step S4. As shown in Figure 11, if the face of the specific person UA ​​in the face image storage data matches the face of the target person U in the face image data of the camera 31A, the face recognition determination unit 34A determines it to be NG and transmits an alarm signal to the control unit 40A. Then, step S3 is executed. Alternatively, the facial recognition unit 32A may transmit either OK or NG as a facial recognition result to the control unit 40A, which can then perform the facial image evaluation.

[0071] (Steps S3-9) Steps S3 to S9 are the same as in the first embodiment, so their explanation is omitted. Once these steps are completed, the automatic door control system 1A ceases operation.

[0072] In this embodiment, since the automatic door control system 1A is equipped with a facial recognition unit 32A, it is possible to identify a specific person UA ​​from among the target people U.

[0073] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the control unit 40A displays the opening / closing operation image F1 on the display unit 20A when it obtains an OK facial recognition result from the facial recognition unit 32A. The identification determination unit 43A does not display the opening / closing operation image F1 on the display unit 20A if it does not obtain a facial recognition result from the facial recognition unit 32A. With this configuration, the automatic door control system 1A can enable only target persons U other than specific persons UA to operate the input unit 21 displayed on the display unit 20A.

[0074] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the face recognition determination unit 34A determines that if the face of a specific person UA ​​in the face image storage data matches the face of the target person U in the face image data, it is an NG and sends an alarm signal to the control unit 40A. In this case, the control unit 40A does not acquire the face recognition result from the face recognition unit 32A, and therefore does not display the opening / closing operation image F1 on the display unit 20A. As a result, the automatic door control system 1A can eliminate the risk that a specific person UA, such as an elderly person or a child, might operate the input unit 21 on the display unit 20A to open or close the automatic door body 11, causing them to run out of the building or wander around.

[0075] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the transmitting unit 44 of the control unit 40A receives an alarm signal from the identification unit 30A, it can communicate with the external terminal 51. Therefore, the administrator of the automatic door control system 1A can determine from the information obtained by the external terminal 51 that a specific person UA ​​is in the vicinity of the automatic door device 10.

[0076] Although a second embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and design modifications and the like are also included within the scope of the gist of the present invention. Furthermore, the components shown in the above-described embodiment and the following modifications can be combined as appropriate.

[0077] (Third embodiment) Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 13 to 15. In the following description, components that are common to those already described will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions will be omitted. In the following embodiments, the display unit and the control unit differ from those of the first embodiment. Therefore, the following description will focus on the differences from the first embodiment.

[0078] In this embodiment, the target person U includes, for example, an administrator who is not a specific person UA ​​and is wearing an IC tag 33, a specific person UA ​​who is wearing an IC tag 33, and a person who is not wearing an IC tag 33. An administrator is, for example, a person who manages the automatic door control system 1B.

[0079] Figure 13 is a diagram showing the configuration of the automatic door control system 1B. Figure 14 shows the state in which the PIN entry image F2 is displayed on the display unit 20B of the automatic door control system 1B.

[0080] In addition to the first embodiment, the display unit 20B of the automatic door control device 2B of the automatic door control system 1B can receive instructions from the control unit 40B and switch between displaying a plurality of operation images F, including an open / close operation image F1, a PIN code input image F2, and other images necessary for the operation, which are stored in the storage unit 41B.

[0081] Compared to the first embodiment, the display unit 20B does not display the open / close operation image F1 of the operation image F before receiving an image display instruction from the control unit 40B. Also, the display unit 20B displays the PIN input image F2 before receiving an image display instruction from the control unit 40B.

[0082] Here, the PIN input image F2 is, for example, a keypad image that allows input of numbers and symbols, as shown in Figure 14. The PIN input image F2 is included in the operation image F and is stored in the memory unit 41B.

[0083] The display unit 20B stores the unlock code registered by the administrator in a storage unit (not shown), for example. The unlock code is a number that can be set arbitrarily. When the PIN input image F2 is displayed and the PIN entered from the input unit 21 via the keypad image of the PIN input image F2 matches the stored unlock code, the display unit 20B sends an open signal to the control unit 40B. If the PIN entered from the input unit 21 via the keypad image of the PIN input image F2 does not match the stored unlock code, the display unit 20B does not send an open signal to the control unit 40B.

[0084] Furthermore, similar to the first embodiment, the display unit 20B displays the opening / closing operation image F1, and when an operation for the opening / closing operation image F1 is input from the input unit 21, it transmits an open signal to the control unit 40. If no operation for the opening / closing operation image F1 is input from the input unit 21, the display unit 20B does not transmit an open signal to the control unit 40.

[0085] The control unit 40B controls the operation of the entire automatic door control system 1B, similar to the embodiment described above. The control unit 40B includes a storage unit 41B, a communication unit 42, an identification determination unit 43B, and an image switching unit 45B. The communication unit 42 is the same as in the embodiment described above, so its description is omitted. The control unit 40B may also include a transmission unit 44, similar to the embodiment described above.

[0086] The storage unit 41B stores a plurality of operation images F in addition to the storage unit 41 of the first embodiment. The operation images F include an open / close operation image F1, a PIN code input image F2, and other images necessary for the operation. In this embodiment, the storage unit 41B stores the open / close operation image F1 shown in Figure 4 and the PIN code input image F2 shown in Figure 14. Note that the image data stored in the storage unit 41B is not limited to this embodiment.

[0087] Furthermore, the storage unit 41B stores multiple groups G and identification classification information indicating which of the multiple groups G the identification information of the IC tag 33 belongs to. Group G includes, for example, a first group G1 and a second group G2. Identification classification information is assigned to each group G. However, the groups G stored in the storage unit 41B are not limited to this embodiment and may consist of two or more groups. Also, the storage unit 41B may store groups G such that the identification information of a single IC tag 33 is included in multiple groups G.

[0088] Identification and classification information refers to information assigned to each group G. The identification and classification information stored in the storage unit 41B is configured so that the identification determination unit 43B, described later, can determine whether the identification information of the IC tag 33 belongs to the first group G1 or the second group G2.

[0089] The first group G1 includes identification and classification information to which the identification information of an IC tag 33 worn by a specific person UA, such as an elderly person or a child, belongs. The second group G2 includes identification and classification information to which the identification information of an IC tag 33 worn by a manager, who is not a specific person UA, belongs. In this embodiment, the IC tag 33 stores identification information that belongs to either the first group G1 or the second group G2, for example, based on the identification and classification information.

[0090] The identification determination unit 43B determines whether to display the operation image F on the display unit 20B according to the identification result from the IC tag reading unit 32 of the identification unit 30. Specifically, when the identification determination unit 43B obtains the identification information stored in the IC tag 33 as the identification result, it determines whether the identification information belongs to either the first group G1 or the second group G2 based on the identification classification information stored in the storage unit 41. The identification determination unit 43B further identifies the target person U by determining whether the identification information belongs to either the first group G1 or the second group G2. For example, if the identification determination unit 43B determines that the identification information of the IC tag 33 is included in the first group G1, it transmits the determination result to the image switching unit 45B. If the identification determination unit 43B determines that the identification information of the IC tag 33 is included in the second group G2, it transmits the determination result to the image switching unit 45B. Note that if the image switching unit 45B has not obtained an identification result from the identification unit 30, it does not transmit the determination result to the image switching unit 45B.

[0091] The image switching unit 45B controls the operation image F to be displayed on the display unit 20B according to the determination result obtained from the identification determination unit 43B. If the image switching unit 45B has not obtained a determination result from the identification determination unit 43B, it does not send an image display instruction to the display unit 20B, and maintains the state in which the PIN input image F2 is displayed on the display unit 20B, as shown in Figure 14.

[0092] Furthermore, if the determination result is the first group G1, the image switching unit 45B transmits the image display instruction to the display unit 20B, and as shown in Figure 5 described in the first embodiment, it turns off the display of the PIN input image F2 that the display unit was displaying and does not display it. In addition, the image switching unit 45B also does not display the open / close operation image F1 of the operation image F.

[0093] Furthermore, if the determination result is the second group G2, the image switching unit 45B sends an instruction to the display unit 20B to switch to the open / close operation image F1 from among the multiple operation images F. Therefore, the image switching unit 45B can display the open / close operation image F1 instead of the PIN input image F2 that the display unit 20B was displaying.

[0094] [Operation and Function of Automatic Door Control System 1B] Next, with reference to Figure 15, the operation and function of the automatic door control system 1B according to the third embodiment will be described. Figure 15 is a flowchart showing the operation and function of the automatic door control system 1B. Here, steps S4 to S9 are the same as in the embodiment described above. First, the storage unit 41B stores a plurality of operation images F. In this embodiment, the storage unit 41B stores an open / close operation image F1 and a PIN code input image F2. The storage unit 41B also stores a plurality of groups G and identification classification information indicating which of the plurality of groups G the identification information of the IC tag 33 belongs to. The automatic door control system 1B starts operation in this state.

[0095] (Step S1b) In step S1b, the target person U, who is attempting to exit the building, approaches the automatic door control system 1B. The IC tag detection unit 31, provided in the identification unit 30 of the automatic door control system 1B, constantly monitors the IC tag 33. The IC tag detection unit 31 detects whether the IC tag 33 has entered the radio wave field P. If the identification unit 30 does not detect that the IC tag 33 has entered the radio wave field P, it executes step S4a. If the identification unit 30 detects the IC tag 33 within the radio wave field P, it reads the identification information stored in the IC tag 33 using the IC tag reading unit 32, transmits the detection information and the identification information as identification results to the control unit 40B, and executes step S1c.

[0096] (Step S4a) In step S4a (operation image control step), if the identification determination unit 43B has not obtained an identification result from the identification unit 30, it causes the display unit 20B to maintain the state in which the PIN input image F2 is displayed, as shown in Figure 14. Next, the identification determination unit 43B executes step S5a.

[0097] (Step S5a) In step S5a (input step), the input unit 21 receives operation input from the target person U. The display unit 20B sends an open signal to the control unit 40B if the PIN entered from the input unit 21 via the keypad image of the PIN input image F2 matches the stored unlock number. Next, the display unit 20B executes step S6. If the PIN entered from the input unit 21 via the keypad image of the PIN input image F2 does not match the stored unlock number, the display unit 20B does not send an open signal to the control unit 40B, returns to step S1b, and the IC tag detection unit 31 of the identification unit 30 performs continuous monitoring of the IC tag 33 again.

[0098] (Step S1c) In step S1c, the identification determination unit 43B of the control unit 40B determines whether to display the operation image F on the display unit 20B according to the identification result from the IC tag reading unit 32 of the identification unit 30. The identification determination unit 43B determines from the identification information of the IC tag 33, based on the identification classification information stored in the storage unit 41, whether the IC tag 33 belongs to the first group G1 or the second group G2. If the identification determination unit 43B determines that the IC tag 33 belongs to the second group G2, it transmits the determination result to the image switching unit 45B and executes step S4. On the other hand, if the determination result is the first group G1, the image switching unit 45B erases the display of the PIN input image F2 that the display unit 20B was displaying before receiving the image display instruction from the control unit 40B, as shown in Figure 5 described in the first embodiment. The image switching unit 45B also does not display the opening / closing operation image F1 of the operation image F on the display unit 20B. The automatic door control system 1B then completes its operation.

[0099] (Step S4) In step S4 (operation image control step), the image switching unit 45B controls the operation image F to be displayed on the display unit 20B according to the determination result obtained from the identification determination unit 43B, similar to the first embodiment. Here, if the determination result is the second group G2, the image switching unit 45B sends an instruction to the display unit 20B to switch to the open / close operation image F1 from among the multiple operation images F. In this embodiment, the display unit 20B displays the password input image F2 before receiving an image display instruction from the control unit 40B. Therefore, if the determination result is the second group G2, the image switching unit 45B displays the open / close operation image F1 in place of the password input image F2 that the display unit 20B was displaying. Next, the image switching unit 45B executes step S5. Step S5 is the same as in the first embodiment, so its explanation is omitted.

[0100] (Steps S6-9) Steps S6 to S9 are the same as in the first embodiment, so their description is omitted. Once these steps are completed, the automatic door control system 1B ceases operation.

[0101] In this embodiment, the image switching unit 45B of the control unit 40B can switch the operation image F displayed on the display unit 20B according to the determination result obtained from the identification determination unit 43B. The identification classification information stored in the storage unit 41B of the automatic door control system 1B is configured so that the identification determination unit 43B, described later, can determine whether the identification information of the IC tag 33 belongs to the first group G1 or the second group G2. The first group G1 includes identification classification information to which the identification information of the IC tag 33 belongs belongs to a specific person UA, such as an elderly person or a child, among the target person U who is wearing the IC tag 33. The second group G2 includes identification classification information to which the identification information of the IC tag 33 belongs belongs to a manager, who is not a specific person UA, among the target person U who is wearing the IC tag 33. In this embodiment, the IC tag 33 stores identification information that belongs to either the first group G1 or the second group G2 according to the identification classification information. In the case of the second group G2, the image switching unit 45B of the control unit 40B displays the PIN input image F2 on the display unit 20B instead of the PIN input image F2. Compared to the PIN input image F2, the opening / closing operation image F1 allows the automatic door device to be opened and closed simply by pressing a button switch, making it possible to open and close the automatic door device quickly and easily. In addition, in the case of the first group G1, the control unit 40B turns off the display of the PIN input image F2. Furthermore, the control unit 40B also does not display the opening / closing operation image F1 of the operation image F on the display unit 20B. With this configuration, the automatic door control system 1B can control the automatic door device 10 by disabling the input unit 21 displayed on the display unit 20B for a specific person UA. Therefore, the risk of a specific person UA, such as an elderly person or a child, running out of the building or wandering around can be eliminated.

[0102] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the PIN input image F2 is displayed on the display unit 20B before receiving an image display instruction from the control unit 40B. Therefore, if a person who is not wearing the IC tag 33 wants to operate the opening and closing of the automatic door device, they can input information from the PIN input image F2 and send an open signal to the control unit 40.

[0103] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the PIN input image F2 is a keypad image on which numbers and symbols can be entered. The display unit 20 can display the PIN input image F2, and if the PIN entered from the input unit 21 via the keypad image of the PIN input image F2 matches the stored unlock number, it can send an open signal to the control unit 40B. Therefore, even if a specific person UA ​​is not wearing the IC tag 33, it is possible to prevent the automatic door body 11 of the automatic door device 10 from being easily opened or closed.

[0104] Although a third embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and various omissions, substitutions, design changes, etc., are included as long as they do not depart from the spirit of the invention. These embodiments and their variations are included in the scope and spirit of the invention, as well as in the claims of the invention and its equivalents. Furthermore, the components shown in the above-described embodiments and the following modifications can be combined as appropriate.

[0105] (modified version) In the above embodiment, the IC tag is worn by a specific person UA ​​among the target person U, but this is not particularly limited, and it may be worn by a person other than the specific person UA. Furthermore, the identification unit may have multiple IC tag detection units and be configured to detect different types of IC tags by the IC tag reading unit 32, thereby transmitting different identification results to the control unit.

[0106] Furthermore, the identification unit in the above-described embodiment may perform both IC tag detection by the IC tag detection unit and face detection of the target person U by the face recognition unit. In this case, the automatic door control system 1B can further reduce the risk that a specific person UA ​​may operate the opening and closing of the automatic door device, causing that person UA ​​to run out of the building or wander around.

[0107] Furthermore, the operation image of the above-described embodiment is not particularly limited. The operation image may be, for example, an image that functions as an intercom, as shown in Figure 16. In this case, by providing the display unit on the outdoor side C2, the operation image that functions as an intercom, as shown in Figure 16, can be used for a person attempting to enter the building from outside.

[0108] Furthermore, the memory unit of the control unit in the above-described embodiment may store identification information indicating whether the face of a specific person UA ​​belongs to a first group or a second group that is not the first group among the face image memory data associated with that person UA's face. The face recognition determination unit of the identification unit may also include the face image memory data of the specific person UA's face, which it has identified as matching or not matching the face of the target person U, in the face recognition result (identification information) and transmit it to the control unit. When the identification determination unit obtains the face recognition result from the face recognition determination unit of the identification unit, it can further identify the target person U by determining whether the face recognition result (identification information) belongs to either the first group G1 or the second group G2 based on the identification classification information stored in the memory unit. With this configuration, the control unit can control the operation image to be displayed on the display unit according to the determination result. In this case as well, the automatic door control system of the present invention can prevent a specific person from easily opening or closing an automatic door installed in a building.

[0109] Furthermore, the automatic door device of the automatic door control system according to the above embodiment may also be equipped with sensors for detecting opening and closing. It may also be equipped with sensors for detecting whether there is a person near the automatic door body.

[0110] Furthermore, the automatic door control system according to the above embodiment may be modified over time. For example, the automatic door control system may be configured so that the IC tag detection or facial recognition identification unit is not used when there is a lot of traffic entering and leaving the building using the automatic door device, and the identification unit is only used when there is little traffic entering and leaving the building.

[0111] Furthermore, in the automatic door control system according to the third embodiment, the control unit 40B does not have to display the open / close operation image F1 in place of the PIN input image F2 that was displayed on the display unit 20B when the determination result is the second group G2. The control unit 40B may maintain the state in which the PIN input image F2 is displayed on the display unit 20B. Also, when the determination result is the second group G2 and the PIN input image F2 is displayed, the control unit 40B may control the system to display the open / close operation image F1 in place of the displayed PIN input image F2 when the PIN entered from the input unit 21 using the keypad image of the PIN input image F2 matches the stored unlock number.

[0112] Furthermore, the display unit of the automatic door control system according to the above embodiment does not have to be an operable image. Also, the display unit may be controlled so that the image changes depending on the time, environment, and circumstances at the time. Figure 17 illustrates another modification of the automatic door control system of the present invention, where (a) is a diagram showing the state in which an image is displayed on the display unit at night. (b) is a diagram showing the state in which an image is displayed on the display unit at non-security times. (b) is a diagram showing the state in which an image is displayed on the display unit when a target person is detected. The display unit can be installed, for example, in a facility with set business hours, and by displaying the image shown in Figure 17(a) at night, it can make a target person approaching the automatic door device aware that business hours have ended. Also, the display unit can, for example, display the image shown in Figure 17(b) at non-security times other than the above embodiment, to make any target person aware that they can pass through the automatic door device. Furthermore, by displaying the image shown in Figure 17(c), the display unit can prompt the detected target person to have a manager, such as a staff member of the facility where the device is installed, open or close the automatic door device.

[0113] Furthermore, the display unit of the automatic door control system according to the above embodiment does not need to display an operation image before receiving an image display instruction from the control unit 40B. In this case, for example, if the display surface is touched while the display surface is not displaying an operation image, the display unit can transmit activation information to the control unit, which can then display an operation image on the display unit according to the identification result. Alternatively, for example, the automatic door control system may further include a sensor (not shown) capable of detecting a person approaching the automatic door device, allowing the control unit to acquire information from the sensor and display an operation image on the display unit.

[0114] In any of the above embodiments, the automatic door control system, automatic door control device, and automatic door control method according to the present invention can prevent a specific person from easily opening or closing an automatic door installed in a building. [Industrial applicability]
