(4) Outline of Each Function in the Security System The functions realized by the security system of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a functional block diagram for explaining a function that plays a major role in the security system of the present embodiment. In the functional block diagram of FIG. 9, the information acquisition means 82, the authentication means 85, and the security release means 87 correspond to the main configurations of the present invention. Other means (display means 81, box selection means 83, storage means 84, notification means 86) are not necessarily essential configurations, but are components for further favoring the present invention.

The display means 81 is a plurality of numbers and kanji when the release information (authentication information) required for security release is composed of at least one number, kanji, hiragana, katakana, alphabetic characters, figures and / or symbols. , Hiragana, Katakana, English characters, figures and / or symbols can be displayed in a selectable manner.

By the way, for example, if the display positions of a plurality of numbers, kanji, hiragana, katakana, alphabetic characters, figures and / or symbols are not changed, the numbers, kanji, hiragana and katakana are entered when the correct authentication information is input. By observing the movement of the fingers when the English characters, figures and / or symbols are selected, the third party may be able to infer the correct authentication information. Therefore, the display means 81 may change the display position of each of the plurality of numbers, kanji, hiragana, katakana, alphabetic characters, figures and / or symbols at a predetermined timing. In this case, since the display position of each of a plurality of numbers, kanji, hiragana, katakana, alphabetic characters, figures and / or symbols is changed at a predetermined timing, the hand when the correct release information (authentication information) is input. It is possible to prevent the correct authentication information from being easily guessed from the movement of.

The function of the display means 81 is realized, for example, as follows. For example, when the collection / delivery company inputs the release information (authentication information), the CPU 11 of the goods collection device 40 generates and displays a display screen for inputting the release information as shown in FIG. 10 (a). It is displayed on the unit 16 (or, if the input unit 17 is composed of a touch panel, a touch pad, or the like, the input unit 17). Here, it is assumed that the release information is composed of a number string having a predetermined number of digits (for example, 6 digits), and in the example shown in FIG. 10 (a), a plurality of numbers (10) from 0 to 9 are assumed. Number keys are arranged.

In the example shown in FIG. 10A, the numbers 1 to 9 are arranged in ascending order, but the CPU 11 displays each number 0 to 9 at a predetermined timing as shown in FIG. 10B. You may change the position. Here, the predetermined timing may be, for example, the timing for each time the release information is input, or the timing for each time when the predetermined time (for example, 1 hour) elapses. Further, the display position of each number may be changed at random, for example, or may be changed according to a predetermined order (for example, ascending order, descending order, repeating random order, etc.).

In addition, the cancellation information (authentication information) can be used for a limited period of time. For example, the period during which the cancellation information can be used is set to 3 days from the setting, and after the period elapses, an authentication error occurs even if the cancellation information is input, and the security cannot be released. In this way, by setting a limit on the usable period of the cancellation information and taking measures such as changing the authentication information on a regular basis, the security function can be improved even when the cancellation information is leaked.

Further, the display means 81 may have a function of generating a display screen for selecting a business type of a collection / delivery company. The business format of the collection and delivery company is, for example, a delivery company, a cleaning company, a newspaper delivery company, and the like. The collection and delivery company selects the applicable one from these business formats.

The information acquisition means 82 has a function of acquiring release information (authentication information) necessary for security release.

The function of the information acquisition means 82 is realized, for example, as follows. Here, a case where the user inputs predetermined information regarding the use of the article receiving device 40 through the operation unit 42 will be described as an example.

For example, the information acquisition means 82 may use a number, kanji, hiragana, katakana, or alphabetic character selected from a plurality of numbers, kanji, hiragana, katakana, alphabetic characters, figures and / or symbols that are selectably displayed by the display means 81. , The release information (authentication information) configured based on the figure and / or the symbol may be acquired. This makes it possible to acquire release information by selecting any of a plurality of numbers, kanji, hiragana, katakana, alphabetic characters, figures and / or symbols.

The function of the information acquisition means 82 is realized, for example, as follows. The CPU 11 of the article receiving device 40 is, for example, an input unit when the display screen shown in FIGS. 10A or 10B is the display unit 16 (or the input unit 17 is composed of a touch panel, a touch pad, or the like. When a number string having a predetermined number of digits (for example, 6 digits) is selected by using the input unit 17 when displayed in 17), the selected number string is acquired as release information (authentication information). The acquired release information (authentication information) is stored in, for example, the RAM 13 or the storage device 14.

The CPU 11 may acquire, for example, by receiving the release information (authentication information) transmitted from the external device (for example, the management server 20, the terminal device 30, etc.) via the communication interface unit 18. , The release information (authentication information) recorded on the recording medium (for example, IC card, bar code, two-dimensional code, etc.) may be acquired by reading with the reader 17b. Further, the voice information acquired from the microphone provided in the operation unit and the image information acquired from the camera may be acquired as release information (authentication information).

The box selection means 83 is a means for selecting a storage box main body for storing luggage. For example, the delivery company can select a storage box for storing a package from a plurality of storage boxes by operating the operation unit 42.

The storage means 84 has a function of storing the acquired release information (authentication information). The function of the storage means 84 is realized, for example, as follows. The CPU 11 of the article receiving device generates, for example, a display screen for inputting security release information (authentication information) when a storage box for accommodating articles is selected by using, for example, an input unit 17. , The display processing unit 15 may be instructed to display the generated display screen on the display unit 16. The security release information (authentication information) may be input using, for example, the keyboard 17a.

Further, when the security release information (authentication information) is recorded on, for example, a recording medium attached to the baggage and can be read by the reader 17b (for example, a bar code or a two-dimensional code). May input the article information by having the reader 17b read the information recorded on the recording medium. Further, the voice information acquired from the microphone provided in the operation unit 42 and the image information acquired from the camera may be acquired as release information (authentication information). When the operation unit 42 is provided with a camera, the user may start shooting and / or recording with the start of the authentication process by the authentication means.

The authentication means 85 has a function of performing an authentication process using the acquired cancellation information (authentication information).

When the new authentication information is acquired, the authentication means 85 may perform the authentication process using the new authentication information and the stored authentication information. This makes it possible to perform the authentication process using the authentication information stored (set) in advance. The security of the security equipment may be released according to the authentication result by the authentication means.

The function of the authentication means 85 is realized, for example, as follows. When the CPU 11 of the goods collection device recognizes that the release information (authentication information) has been input on the display screen shown in FIGS. 10A or 10B, for example, when the collection / delivery company tries to release the security, the CPU 11 recognizes that the release information (authentication information) has been input. Perform authentication processing using cancellation information (authentication information).

Specifically, the goods collection device registers in advance the identification information about the user used as the authentication means, the identification information about the shipper of the package, and / or the identification information about the shipper (collector / delivery company) of the package. The information registration means is provided, and the CPU 11 may determine whether or not the information registered in advance by the identification information registration means and the input cancellation information (authentication information) match.

The identification information can include a name, a company name, a telephone number, an address, a delivery time, and the like. Here, when the delivery time is registered as the identification information of the collection and delivery company, for example, if the delivery time of the newspaper delivery company is specified as 5 to 9 o'clock, it is possible to generate an authentication error for delivery other than the specified delivery time. Become. As a result, it is possible to set a time limit on the entry of the collection and delivery company into the building, so it is possible to build a security management system according to the time of day (for example, prevent the collection and delivery company from entering and exiting at night). Become.

The CPU 11 may end the authentication process normally when the information registered in advance by the identification information registration means and the input release information (authentication information) match. On the other hand, the CPU 11 may determine that an authentication error has occurred when the information registered in advance by the identification information registration means and the input release information (authentication information) do not match.

Further, the article receiving device 40 may include a personal identification number issuing means for issuing a personal identification number used for unlocking the security of the security equipment 50, and the personal identification number may be used as the authentication means. The password issued by the means may be used for a certain period of time, or may be used for a certain number of times. When registering the identification information about the consignor (collector / delivery company) in advance, a registration fee can be set.

The notification means 86 is a function of notifying the authentication result by the authentication means. The notification destination may be a consignee of luggage, a security company, or a building management company. The CPU 11 may notify the authentication result via e-mail, telephone, or the like. In addition, the CPU 11 can also notify the intercom of each room of the apartment house of the admission information of the collection and delivery company and the like.

The release means 87 has a function of releasing security. The security of the security equipment is released according to the authentication result by the authentication means. Specifically, the security of the security equipment 50 is released when the authentication process by the authentication means is normally completed. By releasing the security, it is possible to pass from the outside of the building to the target location.

The function of the releasing means 87 is realized, for example, as follows. When the authentication process based on the function of the authentication means 85 is normally completed, the CPU 11 of the goods receiving device releases the security of the security equipment 50 on which security is applied. For example, when the security equipment 50 is an automatic door at the main entrance, the automatic door will not open even if a collector or the like stands in front of the automatic door in a secured state, but the automatic door will not open due to the security being released. When a collection and delivery company stands in front of you, the automatic door will open. Alternatively, the automatic door may be controlled to remain open for a certain period of time as soon as the security is released. Further, for example, when the security equipment 50 is an elevator, the floor cannot be selected even if the destination button of the desired floor is pressed in the secured state, but the destination of the desired floor is released by canceling the security. You will be able to select the floor by pressing a button.

Further, as for the function of releasing the security, the security system may automatically release the security of the security equipment 50 as described above, or the display unit of the operation unit 42 displays the security release method of the security equipment 50. The collection and delivery company may manually release the security. For example, when the security equipment 50 is an automatic door of the main entrance, the security is obtained by displaying the password of the automatic door on the display unit of the operation unit 42 and manually inputting the password into the operation unit of the automatic door by the collection and delivery company. Can be released and the automatic door can be opened. Using the security release information provided by the operation unit in this way, the user can release the security of the security equipment, which is also an aspect of using the operation unit to release the security of the security equipment. ..

Further, when the security of the security equipment 50 is released, it may have a limiting means for setting a limit on the security release time. For example, if the security release time is set to 30 seconds, the CPU 11 of the goods receiving device maintains the security release state for 30 seconds after the security release is started, and the release state ends as soon as 30 seconds elapse. The security equipment 50 is controlled so as to. In addition, after the security is released, the collection and delivery company can enter the building, head to the target storage box, and store the goods in the storage box. For example, after the security is released, the storage box is unlocked. It may be possible to store the luggage.

Further, the article receiving device 40 may include, for example, a usage history recording means for recording the information obtained by the above information acquisition means and the result of the authentication process by the authentication means as the usage history of the article collecting device. The usage history can include collection / delivery time, storage box number, room number, trader name, contact information, receipt number, and the like. The recorded usage history can be viewed and transmitted, and can be used for the second and subsequent authentication means as information registered in advance by the above-mentioned identification information registration means, for example.

(5) Flow of Main Processing of Security System of This Embodiment With reference to the sequence diagram of FIG. 11, an example of security release processing in the security system of this embodiment will be described.

First, the CPU 11 of the article receiving device 40 displays the procedure screen for the collection / delivery company through the operation unit 42 (step S111). When it is recognized that the collection / delivery company has pressed (selected) the button related to the security release application using the input unit 17 (step S102), a display screen for inputting the release information (authentication information) is generated and generated. The display screen is displayed on the display unit 16 (step S113). Further, when the release information is recorded on, for example, a recording medium attached to the baggage and is readable by the reader 17b (for example, a bar code or a two-dimensional code), the recording medium is used. The release information may be input by having the reader 17b read the recorded information. Further, the voice information acquired from the microphone provided in the operation unit and the image information acquired from the camera may be input as the release information.

When the CPU 11 recognizes that the collection / delivery company has input the release information using the input unit 17 (step S104), the CPU 11 acquires the release information based on the function of the acquisition means 42.

Next, the CPU 11 stores the acquired release information (authentication information) based on the function of the storage means 43. Specifically, the CPU 11 transmits the release information input in step S104 to the management server 20 via the communication interface unit 18 (step S115).

On the other hand, when the CPU 21 of the management server 20 receives the release information from the article collection device via the communication interface unit 28, it accesses the management data stored in the storage device 24 and performs an authentication process based on the received release information. (Step S126). Specifically, the CPU 21 compares the received release information with the release information items in the management data (here, shipper information, consignee information, collection / delivery company information, unlocking information, etc.), and performs authentication processing. I do. When the authentication process is normally completed, the CPU 21 of the management server 20 notifies the goods collection device 40 of the cancellation permission (step S127), and the CPU 11 of the goods collection device 40 issues a security cancellation permission command to the security equipment 50. (Step S118).

Next, the security equipment 50, which has received the release permission from the article receiving device 40 via the communication interface unit, performs the security release process.

As described above, according to the security system of the present embodiment, the collection and delivery company can release the security by itself at the operation unit located outside the building from the security equipment, so that the manager of the apartment house, etc. Since it is not necessary to give the security release key or the like to the collection / delivery company, it is possible to improve the security function.
