Description

  The present invention uses a card-like non-contact card such as an IC card or a non-contact type IC-equipped card in which information necessary for locking and unlocking the lock is written, and is integrally provided on a building door or a wall surface near the door. The present invention relates to a card lock system that reads information on a non-contact card by using a card-type electric lock (integrated lock), determines its legitimacy, and locks and unlocks the lock only when the read information is normally authenticated.

  In recent years, card lock systems have been widely used in entrances and exits of commercial facilities and public facilities such as hotels and office buildings, entrances and entrances of housing complexes and ordinary houses. In this card lock system, various data such as specific encryption and locking / unlocking information assigned in advance for each card-type electric lock (integrated lock) provided integrally on the doors of the building and the wall near the door are stored. The stored card-type non-contact card such as an IC card or a non-contact type IC-equipped card is used, and the card-type electric lock is a variety of data of the non-contact card (for example, locking / unlocking data by a specific encryption, information about the user, etc. ), The read data is compared with pre-registered information to determine the legitimacy, and the lock is locked and unlocked only when it is successfully authenticated. As a system using this type of card type electric lock, for example, an access control system disclosed in Patent Document 1 below is known.

  Next, each operation (initial setting, card reading, card issuing) of the card lock system configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG.

・ Initial setting (See Fig. 2 (a))
The operation terminal device 3 is connected by wire to the card type electric lock 2 (ST1). In this state, the operation unit 3a of the operation terminal device 3 is operated, and setting items necessary for system operation including locking and unlocking of the lock (for example, ID for identifying the user, building number, room number, date, serial number, etc.) Are input from the operation terminal device 3 (ST2). Setting items input from the operation terminal device 3 are transmitted to the card-type electric lock 2 via the wired communication units 3b and 2b, and are written and registered in the storage unit 2c of the card-type electric lock 2. Thereby, initial setting is completed.

・ Card reading (see Fig. 2 (b))
The operation terminal device 3 is connected to the card type electric lock 2 by wire in the state where the initial setting is completed (ST11). Subsequently, the operation unit 3a of the operation terminal device 3 is operated to instruct a card reading operation, and the card 4 is read from the operation terminal device 3 (ST12). Thereafter, the card 4 to be read is held over the communicable area of the card type electric lock 2 (ST13). The card type electric lock 2 reads information from the card 4 held in the communicable area (ST14). Then, the card type electric lock 2 determines whether or not the information read from the card 4 is registered and stored with reference to the information in the storage unit 2c (ST15). Then, when the card-type electric lock 2 determines that the information read from the card 4 is registered, that is, a registered card, information indicating the registration status of the card 4 is transmitted to the operation terminal device via the wired communication units 2b and 3b. 3 to send.

・ Card issuance (see Fig. 2 (c))
The operation terminal device 3 is connected to the card type electric lock 2 by wire in a state where the above initial setting is completed (ST21). Subsequently, the operation unit 3a of the operation terminal device 3 is operated to instruct the card 4 issue operation, and the card 4 issue operation is executed from the operation terminal device 3 (ST22). Thereafter, the card 4 to be issued is held over the card-type electric lock 2 (ST23). The card-type electric lock 2 encodes the information (information necessary for locking / unlocking before the lock) specified by the operation terminal device 3 with respect to the held card 4 (ST24). The card-type electric lock 2 does not execute the card 4 issuing operation when the information is already encoded on the card 4 held over, and indicates that the card 4 has already been encoded. Is transmitted to the operation terminal device 3 via. The operation terminal device 3 displays information from the card type electric lock 2 (information indicating that the card 4 has already been encoded) on the display unit 3d.

  As described above, in the card lock system of this example, the issuing system and the data input function can be integrated by providing a display function to the operation terminal device connected to the card type electric lock (integrated lock) by wire. . As a result, development costs can be significantly reduced. In addition, since the number of items is reduced, inventory management is facilitated, and consideration for later maintenance is not necessary.

  In addition, an operation terminal device is connected to the card-type electric lock, and the reader / writer function installed in the card-type electric lock is used to issue and read cards from the operation terminal device. It can be displayed on the terminal device. As a result, it is easy to check the card registered in kind, it is possible to respond immediately on site, and to improve customer satisfaction.
