Abstract

To reduce the burden on users at logging in.SOLUTION: A notification unit displays on a display unit a card insertion instruction prompting a user to insert an IC card into a card holder (S40). An exclusion execution unit, for a predetermined period after the display on the display unit, transmits a during combining signal, and prohibits the other terminals from executing an authentication mode (S20, S22). Then, a detection unit receives a signal exclusively transmitted from the card holder (S30, S34). If a card absence signal is changed to a card insertion signal in response to card insertion by the user (S36: Yes), an identification unit executes a login process by using a user ID acquired from the card insertion signal (S50).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5

  Hereinafter, one embodiment will be described in detail based on FIGS. 1 to 10.

  FIG. 1A is a perspective view showing a cabinet 80 for housing a terminal 10 as an information processing apparatus according to an embodiment, and FIG. 1B shows the state of the user using the terminal 10. It is shown. In addition, the terminal 10 of this embodiment shall be a tablet-type terminal. However, the terminal 10 is not limited to this, and may be a desktop PC or the like in addition to a portable terminal such as a smartphone or a laptop PC (Personal Computer). In this embodiment, the user of the terminal 10 is a medical worker as an example, and the user uses the terminal 10 in a hospital.

  As shown in FIG. 1A, the terminal 10 is stored in the cabinet 80 while it is not used (for example, at night). The cabinet 80 is capable of charging the terminal 10. Further, in the cabinet 80, the door is locked in order to prevent the theft of the terminal 10 and the like.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of medical workers share one terminal 10. For example, at the start of work, a medical worker secures a terminal taken out of the cabinet 80 as a terminal that he / she uses in the work of the day. And a medical worker logs in to the terminal and uses the terminal. Here, according to the regulations of the country, the information that can be accessed is restricted by the position of a medical worker (doctor, nurse, medical therapist, etc.). In addition, because of the secrecy of the information, it is necessary to prevent access to the information by persons without access authority. Therefore, when the medical worker leaves the terminal and moves to another place, or when the operation of the terminal has not been performed for a certain period of time, the terminal is locked (automatic logoff). If the healthcare worker uses the terminal again after the terminal is locked, it is necessary to log in again. As described above, since medical personnel need to log in several times during a day, it is preferable to reduce the load at the time of login as much as possible.

  When the user (medical worker) uses the terminal 10, as shown in FIG. 1B, the terminal 10 is taken out of the cabinet 80, and the card holder 100 as an apparatus and the IC card 150 which can be inserted into the card holder 100. And execute login processing described later. The user inserts the IC card 150 into the card holder 100 when logging in to the terminal 10. Further, while the user is using the terminal 10, the user keeps inserting the IC card 150 into the card holder 100. The IC card 150 is a card that guarantees the user's authority, and it is assumed that a user ID (user identification information) is written.

Each component of the terminal 10 is directly or indirectly connected to the bus 98. The display unit 93 includes a liquid crystal display and the like, and the input unit 95 includes a touch panel, a physical button, a keyboard and the like. The signal control unit 81 controls a signal transmitted from the signal transmission device 82. The signal transmission device 82 transmits (broadcasts) the in-combination signal (see FIG. 6C) to the terminals present in the surrounding area via the BLE antenna 83 under the control of the signal control unit 81. Details of the in-combination signal will be described later. The signal reception device 84 receives a signal transmitted from an external device (the other terminal 10 or the card holder 100) via the BLE antenna 83. In the terminal 10, the CPU 90 executes a program (including a login processing program) stored in the ROM 92 or the HDD 96, or a program (including a login processing program) read by the portable storage medium drive 99 from the portable storage medium 91. By doing this, the function of each unit shown in FIG. 4B is realized.

  The hardware configuration of the card holder 100 is schematically shown in FIG. The card holder 100 is a beacon device, and as shown in FIG. 3, a microprocessor 190, a charge control unit 191, a battery 192, a memory 193, a signal control unit 194, a signal transmission device 195, a BLE antenna 196, an IC card reader 197 , IC card connector 198 and the like. Among these, the microprocessor 190, the charge control unit 191, the memory 193, the signal control unit 194, and the IC card reader 197 are connected to the bus 199. In the card holder 100, the microprocessor 190 executes a program to realize the functions of the units shown in FIG. 4A. The charge control unit 191 controls charging of the battery 192. The signal control unit 194 controls the signal transmission device 195, and exclusively transmits the card absence signal of FIG. 6 (a) and the card insertion signal of FIG. 6 (b) from the signal transmission device 195 via the BLE antenna 196. Do. The details of the signals in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b) will be described later. The IC card reader 197 has a user ID written in the IC card 150 via the IC card connector 198 when the IC card is inserted in the card holder 100 and the IC card 150 is connected to the IC card connector 198. Read The IC card reader 197 transmits the read user ID to the signal control unit 194.

  Next, functions of the terminal 10 and the card holder 100 will be described based on FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b).

(Function of card holder 100)
A functional block diagram of the card holder 100 is shown in FIG. 4 (a). The card holder 100 has the functions of a card detection unit 22, a signal content switching unit 24, and a signal transmission unit 26, as shown in FIG. 4A.

  The card detection unit 22 detects whether or not the IC card 150 is inserted into the card holder 100 via the IC card reader 197, and if it is inserted, the user ID written in the IC card Are transmitted to the signal content switching unit 24.

  While the user ID is not transmitted from the card detection unit 22, the signal content switching unit 24 sets a signal to be transmitted to a card-less signal of UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) as shown in FIG. 6A. On the other hand, while the user ID is transmitted from the card detection unit 22, the signal content switching unit 24 sets the signal to be transmitted to a UUID card insertion signal as shown in FIG. 6 (b). Here, the UUID of the card absence signal of FIG. 6A includes the card holder unique ID and a card insertion flag (flag "minor: 0" indicating that the IC card is not inserted). On the other hand, in the UUID of FIG. 6B, the card holder's unique ID, the ID (major: 1234) written in the IC card, and the card insertion flag (a flag indicating that the IC card is inserted minor: 1 ") is included.

  The signal transmission unit 26 transmits (broadcasts) the signal set as the signal to be transmitted by the signal content switching unit 24 at predetermined time intervals (for example, a predetermined time is one second or less).

(Function of terminal 10)
The functional block diagram of the terminal 10 is shown by FIG.4 (b). The terminal 10 includes an operation reception unit 30, an exclusion determination unit 32, a signal reception unit 34, a detection unit 36 as a reception unit, a notification unit 38 as an output unit, an exclusion execution unit 40 as a transmission unit, a login execution unit, and a storage unit. And the functions of a logout processing unit 44 as a processing unit.

  Operation accepting unit 30 accepts an operation of the user via input unit 95. The operation of the user includes an operation of instructing transition to the authentication mode.

  When the exclusion determination unit 32 transitions to the authentication mode, the exclusion determination unit 32 determines whether to actually execute the authentication mode or stand by without performing the authentication mode. In addition, the case where it waits without implementing authentication mode is a case where the terminal which is implementing the authentication mode exists in circumference | surroundings.

  The signal reception unit 34 receives the combination in-progress signal transmitted from the other terminal 10, the no card signal transmitted from the card holder 100, and the card insertion signal via the signal reception device 84.

  The detection unit 36 detects whether the signal received by the signal reception unit 34 is a card absence signal or a card insertion signal.

  The notification unit 38 displays a card insertion instruction (a screen prompting the user to insert the IC card 150 into the card holder 100) on the display unit 93 according to the detection result of the detection unit 36.

  The exclusion performing unit 40 prohibits the surrounding terminals 10 from executing the authentication mode by transmitting (broadcasting) signals during combination to the surrounding terminals 10. Here, the UUID of the in-combination signal includes a predetermined in-combination signal ID as shown in FIG. 6 (c).

  When the card absence signal received from the card holder 100 changes to a card insertion signal, the identification unit 42 executes login processing using the user ID included in the received card insertion signal. The identification unit 42 holds a list of user IDs used for authentication. The identification unit 42 also stores the user ID used for login.

  The logout processing unit 44 automatically logs out when the user does not operate the terminal 10 for a long time or when the logged-in user leaves the terminal 10. Further, the logout processing unit 44 automatically executes re-login when the operation is resumed or when the user returns near the terminal 10. The logout processing unit 44 also executes logout based on an operation by the user.

(About processing)
Next, the flow of processing executed by the terminal 10 will be described in detail along the flowchart of FIG. 5 with reference to other drawings as appropriate. The process in FIG. 5 is a process that is executed when the user performs an operation to instruct transition to the authentication mode via the input unit 95 and the operation receiving unit 30 receives the instruction.

  In the process of FIG. 5, first, in step S10, the exclusion determination unit 32 starts detection of the in-combination signal via the signal reception unit 34. Next, in step S12, the exclusion determination unit 32 determines whether the in-combination signal transmitted from the other terminal 10 is detected. If the determination in step S12 is affirmed, step S12 is repeated. That is, while the combination in progress signal transmitted from the other terminal 10 is being detected, the process waits without performing the subsequent processing. On the other hand, if the determination in step S12 is negative, that is, when the other terminals 10 do not emit signals during combination, the processes in steps S20 and S30 are performed.

  In step S20, the exclusion performing unit 40 transmits (broadcasts) a signal during combination to the peripheral terminals 10. As a result, it is possible to prevent the peripheral terminal 10 from executing the authentication mode (prohibit the execution of the authentication mode).

  On the other hand, in step S30, the detection unit 36 starts detection of the card absence signal via the signal reception unit 34. Next, in step S32, the detection unit 36 determines whether a no card signal is detected. That is, it is determined whether or not the card holder 100 in which the IC card 150 is not inserted is present around the terminal 10. While the determination in step S32 is negative, step S32 is repeatedly executed, but if the determination is affirmative, the processes in step S34 and step S40 are performed.

  In step S40, the notification unit 38 displays a card insertion instruction via the display unit 93. When viewing the display, the user can know that it is time to insert the IC card 150 into the card holder 100.

  On the other hand, in step S34, the detection unit 36 starts detection of a card insertion signal via the signal reception unit 34. Next, in step S36, the detection unit 36 determines whether a change to the card insertion signal has been detected. When the user sees a card insertion instruction and inserts the IC card 150 into the card holder 100, the signal transmitted from the card holder 100 changes from a no card signal to a card insertion signal, and the detection unit 36 detects the presence or absence of this change. It is determined whether or not is detected. If the determination in step S36 is affirmed, the processes in steps S22 and S50 are performed.

  On the other hand, if the determination in step S36 is negative, the process proceeds to step S38, and the detection unit 36 starts detecting the card insertion signal (after the process of step S34 is performed) for a predetermined time (for example, Determine whether 30 seconds have elapsed. If the determination in step S38 is negative, the process returns to step S36. If the determination is affirmative, the process in step S22 is performed.

  In step S22, the exclusion performing unit 40 stops the transmission of the combining signal. That is, execution of the authentication mode by the peripheral terminal 10 is permitted. After step S22 is performed, the notification unit 38 ends the display of the card insertion instruction in step S42.

  As described above, when the detection unit 36 detects a change from the card absence signal to the card insertion signal (if the determination in step S36 is affirmative), the identification unit 42 determines in step S50 that the user included in the card insertion signal Execute login using ID. Further, the identification unit 42 stores the user ID in step S52. After that, the whole process of FIG. 5 is ended.

  When the determination in step S38 is affirmed and the process proceeds to step S22, that is, the IC card 150 is inserted into the card holder 100 even though a predetermined time has elapsed since the card insertion instruction was displayed on the display unit 93. If not, steps S50 and S52 are not performed. In this case, the entire process of FIG. 5 is completed without executing the login process.

(About parallel processing by multiple terminals)
Next, a case where the process of FIG. 5 is executed in parallel in a plurality of terminals 10 will be described based on FIGS. 7 (a) to 9 (c).

  As a premise of FIGS. 7A to 9C, it is assumed that there are three terminals A, terminals B, and terminals C, and each terminal is in a range where it can receive signals during combination that other terminals transmit. It shall be done. Further, it is assumed that the IC card 150 is not inserted into the card holders 100 of the users A and B.

  First, as shown in FIG. 7A, it is assumed that the authentication mode is executed in the terminal A. In this case, the terminal A transmits a combining signal to the surrounding (S20 in FIG. 5). Further, in the state of FIG. 7A, the card holder 100 of the user A transmits a no card signal.

  In this state, as shown in FIG. 7B, when an instruction to execute the authentication mode is issued by the operation of the user B at the terminal B, the terminal B receives the signal during combination from the terminal A, so that the authentication mode is Wait without executing (S12 in FIG. 5: affirmative). In the state shown in FIG. 7B, the card holder 100 of the user B transmits a no card signal.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 7C, when the terminal A receives the no card signal (S32 in FIG. 5: affirmative), a card insertion instruction is displayed on the display unit 93 (S40 in FIG. 5). At this stage, the terminal A has received a card absence signal from the card holders 100 of the users A and B. Then, when the user A looking at the display unit 93 inserts the IC card 150 into the card holder 100 as shown in FIG. 8A, a card insertion signal is transmitted from the card holder 100 as shown in FIG. 8B. Be done. At this time, since terminal B is in the standby state and only the terminal A is executing the authentication mode, the signal transmitted from the card holder 100 of the user A at the terminal A alone is inserted from the card absence signal at the terminal A alone. It is detected that the signal has been changed (S36 in FIG. 5: affirmative). Thereby, in the terminal A, the login process is executed using the user ID of the user A included in the card insertion signal (S50 in FIG. 5).

  The terminal A that has detected the change from the card absence signal to the card insertion signal stops the transmission of the signal during combination as shown in FIG. 8C (S22 in FIG. 5), and ends the authentication mode. Thus, the terminal B can start the execution of the authentication mode (S12: negative).

  In the terminal B, as shown in FIG. 9A, transmission of the signal during combination is started (S20 in FIG. 5), and when the card absence signal is received from the card holder 100 of the user B (S32 in FIG. 5: affirmation And a card insertion instruction is displayed on the display unit 93. Then, as shown in FIG. 9B, when the user B inserts the IC card 150 into the card holder 100, the card holder 100 transmits a card insertion signal. Thus, the terminal B can detect that the signal transmitted from the card holder 100 of the user B has been changed from the card absence signal to the card insertion signal (S36 in FIG. 5: affirmative). Thereby, the terminal B can execute the login process using the user ID of the user B included in the card insertion signal (S50 in FIG. 5). After that, as shown in FIG. 9C, the terminal B stops the transmission of the signal during combination (S22 in FIG. 5), and ends the authentication mode.

  For example, from the state of FIG. 7A, the terminal B and the terminal C may be in the standby state in the authentication mode in this order. In this case, when the authentication mode of the terminal A is finished, the terminal B which has been waiting is made to execute the authentication mode, and when the authentication mode of the terminal B is finished, the terminal C is made to execute the authentication mode. do it. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the terminals may be determined in advance in priority order, and the authentication mode may be executed in order of priority.

(Process of logout processing unit 44)
Next, logout and re-login processing by the logout processing unit 44 of the terminal 10 will be described along the flowchart of FIG.

  As a premise of the process of FIG. 10, in the terminal 10, it is assumed that the user has already logged in by executing the process of FIG. 5 described above.

  In the process of FIG. 10, first, in step S100, the logout processing unit 44 determines whether or not use is ended. That is, it is determined whether or not the user has performed an operation of ending the use of the terminal 10 through the input unit 95. If the determination in step S100 is affirmed, the entire process of FIG. 10 is ended. In addition, when ending all the processes of FIG. 10, the terminal 10 is put into a logout state, and the user ID stored in step S52 of FIG. 5 is deleted. On the other hand, if the determination in step S100 is negative, the process proceeds to step S102.

  After shifting to step S102, the logout processing unit 44 determines whether or not the user has operated the terminal 10 for a predetermined time. The predetermined time is a time that can be set by the user, and is, for example, 5 minutes. If the determination in step S102 is negative, the process proceeds to step S104.

  In step S104, the logout processing unit 44 determines whether the card insertion signal received at login is not received for a predetermined time. That is, it is determined whether the logged-in user has left the terminal 10. If the determination in step S104 is negative, the process returns to step S100. The logout processing unit 44 repeats the determinations in steps S100, S102, and S104 while the determinations in steps S100, S102, and S104 are negative. When the determination in step S104 is affirmed, the logout processing unit 44 proceeds to step S106.

  When the process proceeds to step S106, the logout processing unit 44 automatically logs out. That is, the use of the terminal 10 by other users is disabled (locked). Then, in the next step S108, the logout processing unit 44 stands by until the card insertion signal received at the time of login is received. That is, when the user returns to the vicinity of the terminal 10 and a card insertion signal including the user ID stored in step S52 of FIG. 5 is received, the determination in step S108 is affirmed and the process proceeds to step S110. .

  In step S110, the logout processing unit 44 executes the re-login process using the user ID included in the card insertion signal or the stored user ID. After that, the process returns to step S100.

  On the other hand, when the determination in step S102 is affirmed as a result of repetition of steps S100, S102, and S104, the process proceeds to step S112, and the logout processing unit 44 automatically logs out. Then, in the next step S114, the logout processing unit 44 stands by until there is an operation.

  When the user operates the terminal 10, the determination in step S114 is affirmed, and the process proceeds to step S116. Then, in step S116, the logout processing unit 44 determines whether the card insertion signal received at the time of login is received. If the determination in step S116 is negative, the logout processing unit 44 returns to step S114. That is, if the user operated after logging out is different from the originally logged-in user, the logout state is maintained.

  On the other hand, if the determination in step S116 is affirmed, the process proceeds to step S110, and the logout processing unit 44 uses the user ID included in the card insertion signal or the stored user ID again, as described above. Execute login process. After that, the process returns to step S100.

  As described above, when the process of FIG. 10 is performed, the logout process is automatically performed when the logged-in user leaves the terminal 10 or when the terminal 10 is not operated for a predetermined time. Then, when the user returns near the terminal or when the user performs an operation again, the login process can be performed automatically. By this, it is possible to reduce the load of the login process of the user.

  As described above in detail, according to the present embodiment, the notification unit 38 instructs the user to insert the IC card into the card holder 100 that exclusively transmits the card insertion signal and the no card signal. The insertion instruction is displayed on the display unit 93 (S40), and the exclusion execution unit 40 transmits a signal during combination for a predetermined period (for example, 30 seconds) after the display and prohibits the other terminals from executing the authentication mode. (S20, S22). Then, the detection unit 36 receives a signal transmitted exclusively from the card holder 100 (S30, S34), and changes from the card absence signal to the card insertion signal according to the card insertion by the user (S36: affirmation And the identification unit 42 executes login processing using the user ID acquired from the card insertion signal (S50). Accordingly, the user can perform the login process by a simple operation of inserting the IC card 150 into the card holder 100 when the terminal 10 is in the authentication mode and the card insertion instruction is displayed on the terminal 10. Therefore, the load on the user at login can be reduced. Further, in the present embodiment, when executing the authentication mode in the terminal 10, the in-combination signal is transmitted to surrounding terminals, and the execution of the authentication mode by the terminal receiving the in-combination signal is prohibited. There is. Thereby, even when there are a plurality of terminals and card holders, it is possible to perform login processing using a combination of appropriate terminals and card holders.

  Moreover, in the present embodiment, after the user operates the terminal, the card insertion instruction is displayed, and the user who sees the display executes the continuous operation of inserting the IC card 150 into the card holder 100. You can log in to 10. As a result, it is possible to prevent impersonation because it is not possible to log in simply by bringing a terminal acquired by another user illegally close to a user who holds the card holder 100.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the period during which the combining signal is transmitted is the shorter period of the predetermined period and the period until the card insertion signal is received (S36, S38, S22). Thus, regardless of whether the user has inserted the IC card 150 into the card holder 100, it is possible to set the time to wait before the other terminal can execute the authentication mode as an appropriate time.

  Further, in the present embodiment, since the card insertion instruction is displayed on the display unit 93, the range for notifying the instruction can be limited as compared with the case of outputting the card insertion instruction using voice.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the terminal 10 is put in the logout state when the card insertion signal including the user ID identical to the user ID stored in the identification unit 42 is not received for a certain period of time after the login state. S106) When the card insertion signal including the stored user ID is received again, the terminal 10 is returned to the login state (S110). As a result, even when the user moves the terminal 10 while leaving the terminal 10, the user can be in the logout state at an appropriate timing, so that information leakage can be suppressed. In addition, even if the terminal 10 is in the logout state, if the user approaches the terminal 10 again, the login state is automatically returned, so that the load on the user at the time of relogin can be reduced.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the user inserts the IC card 150 into the card holder 100 at the time of login has been described, but the user may perform another operation. For example, the card holder 100 is provided with a button for switching between the same signal as the card absence signal (signal not including the user ID) and the same signal as the card insertion signal (signal including the user ID). When the user operates the switch, the signal to be transmitted may be switched. Further, the object operated by the user may not be the card holder 100. For example, even when the target operated by the user is a device (a device such as a smart phone) other than the card holder 100 that transmits a signal, the signal transmitted from the device may be switched according to the user's operation. Good.

  In addition, the terminal 10 of the said embodiment can be used not only when using only in a hospital but the field of visiting nursing, for example. In this case, when visiting a patient's home for nursing, the user (nurse) carries the terminal 10 and wears the IC card 150 used for login and the card holder 100. This enables the user to view, record, and use data necessary for nursing. Also, even if the user is logged out without performing the operation for a long time, login processing is easy. Furthermore, even if, for example, the terminal 10 is left at the patient's home, persons other than the user can not view the data of the terminal 10 or the like.

  Moreover, the terminal of the said embodiment may be a thermostat, for example in an experiment room. For example, when the user (worker) uses the thermostatic bath, login (user registration) can be performed in the same manner as the above embodiment. After the login, if the user is near the thermostat, the lock is released so that the user can operate. In the case of such an experiment room, there are many cases where the user temporarily leaves the experiment room, but when the experiment room is left, the logout state (locked state) of the thermostatic chamber allows another person to You can disable the operation.
