Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

C. Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a lock collection system applied to, for example, a safe deposit box.

[Background of the invention]

Conventionally, safe deposit boxes installed in banks, etc. have a structure in which a large number of safe deposit boxes are arranged in a stacked manner based on individual use contracts with customers, inside a safe deposit box with limited entrances and exits.
The front door of each safe deposit box is overlaid with a customer lock that can be unlocked with a key that each customer owns, and a bank lock that can be unlocked with a key controlled by the bank's safe deposit box staff. If a customer wants to use a safe deposit box under contract, they must notify the bank staff at the reception department, and both the bank staff and the customer accompany them to the safe deposit box. A bank representative opens the entrance door using an authentication card or a key in his or her possession, enters the room, accompanies the customer to the safe deposit box, and unlocks the bank lock. This required extremely cumbersome collaborative work and procedures such as locking. Therefore, each time a large number of customers visit the bank and request the use of the safe deposit box, the bank's safe deposit box staff must accompany them, which creates the problem that the bank is always burdened with labor, which increases the cost of using the safe deposit box. there were. Therefore, for example, a bank lock attached to each door of one or more safe deposit boxes arranged in the safe deposit box, an electric key disposed at the entrance of the safe deposit box, and a magnetic material, An unlocking unit that has the function of unlocking the bank lock and the electric key, and an authentication code for unlocking the bank lock and the electric key are magnetically attached to the magnetic body of the unlocking unit at a reception department separate from the safe deposit box. ↑It has an encoder that writes key information, and an entry reader and an exit league of the unlocking unit, and decodes the authentication code when the customer enters and leaves the room to authenticate the electronic unlocking of the electronic key, and when leaving the room, An unlocking device (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 59-111) characterized in that it is equipped with a detection means for instructing the loading of the unlocking unit into a storage unit after the decoding.
7:1473) has been proposed. By the way, in this proposal, a magnetization information signal is written in the unlocking unit (magnetic card) of the safe deposit box using an encoder, and even when leaving the safe deposit box after using it, this magnetic card will not be affected. The magnetization information signal remains written. When the magnetic card is inserted into the exit reader when leaving the room, the magnetic card is taken into the magnetic card storage section by the magnetic card taking means without being removed. However, even with this proposal, some problems remain to be solved. In other words, since the magnetization information signal remains written on the magnetic card even when the user of the safe deposit box leaves the room, there is a major problem in that the user is concerned about whether or not this magnetization information signal has actually been erased. . In particular, if the magnetization information signal of this magnetic card is not erased, anyone who has this magnetic card in their hands, even if they are not the legitimate user, can open the safe deposit box. The psychological anxiety of users is extremely high. Furthermore, since this magnetic card is used by other users as well, the above-mentioned concerns are only increasing and will not subside.

An object of the present invention is to be able to confirm that the information signal of the recording medium lock that records the information signal used to unlock the locking means is erased, that is, to unlock the locking means. To provide a lock recovery system which is psychologically safe and flexible, by making it possible to confirm that the recording medium lock used for the purpose cannot be used for unlocking by another person after being returned. The object of the present invention is to provide an erasing means for erasing an information signal of a recording medium lock that records an information signal used for unlocking a locking means, and an erasing means for erasing an information signal of a recording medium lock that is recorded with an information signal used for unlocking a locking means. A retrieval means that allows the recording medium lock to be retrieved once the information signal has been erased, and a retrieval opening that opens the retrieval port when the information signal of the recording medium lock is erased by the erasing means. This is achieved by a lock recovery system characterized by comprising: means for storing a recording medium lock through a recovery port opened by the recovery port opening means. In addition, in the above-mentioned lock recovery system, the one configured to open the door of the chamber for a predetermined period of time after the recorded information signal in the recording medium lock is erased, and then close the door is particularly useful for collecting the recorded information in the recording medium lock. It is preferable that the door is opened for a predetermined period of time after the signal is erased and the storage medium lock is collected into the storage medium lock built-in means, and then the door is closed. It is preferable that the lock has an opening r5 function that opens the door of the chamber in response to the recorded information signal, and a function that opens the doors of a plurality of small rooms installed in the room. It is preferable that the recovery means and the recovery port of the recording medium lock built-in means be provided indoors. And as storage medium locks, there are IC cards, magnetic cards, etc. 11! ! Any material may be used as long as it is capable of writing and erasing appropriate information signals.

【Example】

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of a lock system to which a lock recovery system according to the present invention is applied. In the figure, l is an IC card, and this IC card 1 is
It is issued by the C card issuing machine 2 and placed in the hands of the user A of the safe deposit box 3. This IC card I is issued from IC card issuing 11!2, and the magnetic card 4 owned by user A of safe deposit box 3 is issued as an IC card! 712, the user A's PIN is entered using the predetermined numeric keypad, and the predetermined operation is subsequently performed, the IC card l stored in the predetermined position in the IC card issuing machine 2 will be recorded as an IC card. The information signal unique to user A is recorded on the IC card l by this IC card recording device 5.
After recording this information signal on the IC card 1, the IC card is issued f! 2 Il [is issued from exit 2a. An IC card 1 on which a predetermined information signal issued by an IC card issuing machine 2 is recorded is held in the hand of a user A, and is installed outside a safe deposit box 5' in which a large number of safe deposit boxes 3 are installed. When this IC card 1 is inserted into the room entry reader 6, the tryf! ! The signal is read, and if the recorded information signal is correct, Tj17 of the safe deposit box 5'' is opened for a predetermined period of time. At the time before and after the door 7 is opened, user A inserts the IC into the entry reader 6. Take out the card 1 and enter the safe deposit box 5 with this IC card 1 in your hand.After the door 7 is opened and a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the gate 7 will automatically close, so you can enter the safe deposit box 5'. Therefore, only user A is present. User Δ enters the safe deposit box 5' and reaches the position of his own safe deposit box 3, and then locks the lock device 9 provided on the door 8 of the safe deposit box 3. When the IC card 1 is inserted, the information signal of the IC card L is read, and if this information signal is correct, the plunger lock of the lock device M and 9 is released, so slide the lock device 9. Then, user A slides the locking device 9 and
When the key is inserted into the keyhole whose surface is covered by the lock rf 19 and the door is unlocked, the door 8 can be opened, so the user A opens the door 8 and takes out and takes out important items. After putting in and taking out important items, user A closes the door 8, locks it, and removes the key from the keyhole. Then, the user A slides the locking device 9 to its original position and locks the door 8 on the surface of the keyhole. cover. Thereafter, the IC card 1 is removed from the lock device 9, and the IC card 1 is inserted into the exit reader 10 installed in the safe deposit box 5.
The C card 1 is inserted, and the information signal recorded on the IC card 1 is erased by the erasing device 11 built in the exit reader 10. Then, the user removes this IC card l from the erasing device 11 of the exit reader lO, and if necessary, the user
After confirming that the information signal has been erased by 1 (to confirm, insert this FC card 1 into the lock device 9, and if the lock device 9 cannot be moved, it can be confirmed that the information signal has been erased), leave the room. When this IC card 1 is inserted into the IC card slot 10a of the reader IO, the insertion is detected by the sensor 12, and the door 7 of the safe deposit box 5' is thereby opened. A U1 chain member 13 is provided in the fc card slot 10m, and this closing member 13 detects from a sensor 14 that the information signal of the IC card l by the erasing device 10 has been erased.
When the IC card 1 is detected or when the sensor 14 detects that the IC card 1 is inserted into the erasing device 10, the closing member 13 is driven by the output signal of the sensor 14, and the IC card 1 is inserted into the erasing device 10.
The C card slot 10a is opened and the IC card 1 is inserted.
can be inserted into the exit reader 10 from the IC card slot 10a, thereby preventing the mistake of inserting the IC card 1 whose information signal has not been erased into the exit reader 10. . Then, when the door 7 of the safe deposit box 5' is opened, the user A
can go out of the safe deposit box, and the door 7 is automatically closed when a predetermined period of time has elapsed after the door 7 was opened. Incidentally, when a certain number of IC cards 1 are accumulated in the exit reader 10, this is detected by a sensor and the bank clerk is notified of this, so the bank clerk places the cards in a predetermined table. In the lock system configured as described above, an inexpensive magnetic card 4 is used which is handed over to safe deposit box users before the IC card issuing machine 2 is activated. Furthermore, since the installer of the safe deposit box 3 can use the magnetic card 4 currently in use as is, the present invention can be applied to the current safe deposit box system without major changes. When using the safe deposit box 3, the user A has the IC card 1 in addition to the unique magnetic card 4, so the magnetic card 4 and the IC card 1 are inadvertently overlapped. Even if something happens, the information signals recorded in each will not be lost or changed5,
Therefore, the number of procedures for reissuing the magnetic card 4 is greatly reduced. Furthermore, since the IC card 1 is used to operate the locking device 9 of the safe deposit box 3, even if the number of safe deposit boxes 3 increases, the small IC card 1 can be used, which is sufficient for the increase in the number of safe deposit boxes 3. This makes it possible to take appropriate measures. Furthermore, as proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-173473, when an unlocking unit having a magnetic body is used as a means for unlocking the locking device 9, it is natural that the locking device 9 is also magnetic. However, if the IC card 1 is used as a means for operating the lock device ff9, there is no need to use a magnetic material in the lock device 9, and therefore there is no need to use a magnetic material in the safe deposit box. Even if such items are stored, the problem of erasing recorded information will not occur at all. Furthermore, since some tC cards have an internal power source, if this type of IC card is used, the lock device 9 itself does not require a power source;
It can be implemented without major changes to the current safe deposit box by making some changes, and the locking device 9 can be unlocked even during a power outage, allowing the safe deposit box to be used. In addition, there is no need for a person from the installer to accompany the safe deposit box each time the safe deposit box is used, reducing labor costs for the installer, and the user can also act independently, which reduces the psychological burden when the user wants to keep it a secret. This is advantageous for both the user and the installer. The lock recovery system in such a lock system stores the IC card 1 in the erasing device 11 of the exit reader 10.
If necessary, the user can confirm that the information signal has been erased by the erasing device ti, providing a high sense of security, and when this IC card 1 is inserted into the IC card slot 10m of the exit reader IO. , the insertion is detected by the sensor 12, and the door 7 of the safe deposit box 5 is opened accordingly, so mistakes are extremely rare. Furthermore, an opening member 13 is provided on the IC card input 010a, and this closing member! 3 is an erasing device i. When the sensor 14 detects that the information signal of the IC card 1 has been erased, or when the sensor 14 detects that the IC card 1 has been inserted into the eraser IO, the output signal of the sensor 14 causes the t71 chain to be activated. Part 1
3 is driven, the IC card slot 10m is opened, and the IC card 1 can be inserted into the exit reader 10 from the IC card slot 10a. 1 is the leader leaving the room 1
Mistakes that are inserted into 0 are prevented,
Insert IC card 1 into IC card slot 1 without erasing it.
Mistakes such as putting it into 0a will definitely be eliminated.
