The building 20 exemplified in
The first floor 1F may be provided with one or more dwellings such as a dwelling 1L and a dwelling 1M, a common aisle CC1, a camera C1 imaging at least the common aisle CC1, an elevator E1 for moving to other floors, and the like. Similarly, the Nth floor NF may be provided with one or more dwellings such as a dwelling NL and a dwelling NM, a common aisle CCN, a camera CN imaging at least the common aisle CCN, an elevator EN for moving to other floors, and the like. The camera C1 and the camera CN may image an imaging range at all times.
The personal identification information may include biometric information. The biometric information may include facial information, iris information, fingerprint information, voiceprint information, or the like. The personal identification information may include information that can be acquired from an ID card or the like including personal specifiable information. The personal identification information may include attribute information of a visitor. The attribute information of the visitor may be information relating to appearance of the visitor, such as wearing goods of the visitor, height of the visitor, outline of a face of the visitor, and physiognomy of the visitor.
A subject acquiring private identification is an apartment complex management association managing the building 20. Therefore, acquired personal identification information can be used for a purpose of entering/leaving management, behavior restriction, or the like of visitors in such as shared areas in the building 20. Moreover, the acquired personal identification information can be shared among residents of the building 20 constituting the apartment complex management association for the purpose of the entering/leaving management, behavior restriction, or the like of visitors in such as the shared areas in the building 20. The shared areas in the building 20 may include the entrance hall EH2, the common aisle CC1 and the common aisle CCN, for example.
As shown in
The evaluation value acquiring part 212 acquires an evaluation value for the visitor by residents living in the building (step S21). The resident may perform evaluation for the visitor by operating a terminal that is provided in a dwelling. For example, a resident living in the dwelling NL may perform evaluation for the visitor by operating a terminal TNL. The terminal may be a smartphone possessed by a resident. The storage controlling part 213 may associate the biometric information corresponding to the visitor, the evaluation value for the visitor by the resident and resident identification information for identifying the resident who has performed the evaluation each other, and store in the storage device 22 as visitor information 221. The storage controlling part 213 may also associate and store one or more attribute information of the visitor as the visitor information 221. The storage controlling part 213 may store information for identifying a dwelling as the resident identification information. An example of the visitor information 221 that the storage controlling part 213 stores in the storage device 22 is exemplified in Table 1 below.
The integrating part 215 generates an integrated evaluation value by integrating each of evaluation values (step S22). The integrating part 215 may be perform integration by adding each of evaluation values. The integrating part 215 may generate an average value of each of evaluation values. The integrating part 215 may generate an integrated evaluation value on the basis of comparative between evaluation values and a predetermined threshold value. The integrating part 215 may generate an integrated evaluation value on the basis of each evaluation values evaluated in a predetermined period such as half a year.
The integrating part 215 may generate information indicating distribution of each of evaluation values as an integrated evaluation value. The integrating part 215 may generate a histogram of each of evaluation values. When the histogram is generated, it is possible to easily understand how many residents having performed high-evaluation, and how many residents having performed low-evaluation. The integrating part 215 can generate information that allows reference to evaluations of all residents living in the building 20.
When evaluation values are integrated, it is easy to understand evaluations of all of residents for visitors, especially when there are many residents living in the building 20. Since a resident visited by a visitor easily judges about the visitor, it is convenient. Even in an event of inappropriate judgment by a small number of residents, the visitor management apparatus 2 can provide appropriate judgment information by performing appropriate judgment by other residents. The visitor management apparatus 2 safely manages visitors because evaluations for visitors do not depend only on an individual's judgment.
The integrating part 215 may include not only information of evaluation value but also the number of evaluators in the integrated evaluation value. In this case, a resident can easily judge whether the integrated evaluation value is credible information or not.
The storage controlling part 213 stores biometric information corresponding to the visitor and the integrated evaluation value corresponding to the visitor in associated with each other (step S23). The storage controlling part 213 may associate biometric information corresponding to the visitor with the integrated assessment value corresponding to the visitor, and store them as an integrated visitor information 222 in the storing device 22. The storage controlling part 213 may also associate and store one or more attribute information of the visitor as the integrated visitor information 222. An example of the integrated visitor information 222 that the storage controlling part 213 stores in the storing device 22 is exemplified in Table 2 below.
The providing part 214 provides the integrated evaluation value corresponding to the visitor stored in the storing device 22 to the resident living in the building 20 (step S24).
It is assumed that a visitor, who has visited to the building 20, visits to a resident, who differs from a resident visited by the visitor, living in another dwelling of the same building 20. In this case, when each resident is called from the visitor via a terminal, an integrated evaluation value corresponding to the visitor is provided to a monitor of the terminal, thereby each resident may be able to confirm evaluation for the visitor of each resident. Each resident can use the integrated evaluation value to judge that the visitor is allowed or denied.
Judgement to allow or deny the visitor by each resident may be integrated. For example, when a visitor, who is a delivery person of a home-delivery object, visits a plurality of residents living in the building 20, operation of the visitor operating terminal T0 by the visitor may be once. Acquiring operation for personal identification information of the visitor may be once at one time during a single visit to the building 20. Thus, convenience of the visitor is high.
As an example of using an integrated evaluation value, the visitor management apparatus 2 may perform behavior restriction operation for a visitor.
As shown in
The providing part 214 provides the integrated visitor information 222 stored in the storing device 22 to a resident living in a destination of the visiting-again person (step S26). Moreover, when the visitor information 221 by the resident living in the destination is stored in the storing device 22, the visitor information 221 may be provided to the resident.
The restricting part 216 estimates which person the visiting-again person is on the basis of the visiting-again person biometric information (step S27). The restricting part 216 may search biometric information of a person who is the same as the visiting-again person from biometric information stored in the storing device 22.
The restricting part 216 imposes a behavior restriction corresponding to the integrated evaluation value associated with biometric information of the person, who is the same as the visiting-again person, on the visiting-again person (step S28). The restricting part 216 may change the behavior restriction imposed on the visiting-again person in response to a request for a behavior restriction on the basis of at least one of the visitor information 221 and the integrated visitor information 222 by the resident living in the destination of the visiting-again person. When a resident living in a destination rejects a visitor, the restricting part 216 may restrict behavior toward a door of a dwelling of the destination even if the visitor is a visitor of whom an integrated evaluation value is high.
On the other hand, the restricting part 216 may permit a visitor to enter until a door of a dwelling of a destination without permission of a resident of the destination when an integrated evaluation value of the visitor is high. In this case, the operation of the step S26 may be omitted.
The restricting part 216 may set a threshold value of an integrated evaluation value, and may determine whether or not behavior restriction in the building 20 is imposed by comparing the integrated evaluation value with the threshold value. The restricting part 216 may set behavior restrictions according to integrated evaluation values by dividing into multiple-steps levels. The restricting part 216 may arbitrarily set a range of a behavior restriction.
The restricting part 216 may set a behavior restriction for a visitor by a blacklist method. For example, the restricting part 216 may output for calling attention when a visitor having a low integrated evaluation value comes. Moreover, for example, the restricting part 216 may prohibit that a visitor having a low integrated evaluation value calls via an intercom.
Alternatively, the restricting part 216 may set a behavior restriction for a visitor by a whitelist method. For example, the restricting part 216 may output for recommending a person when a visitor having a high integrated evaluation value comes.
The restricting part 216 may perform behavior restrictions of the following five steps levels according to integrated evaluation values, for example.
Incidentally, the above-mentioned five steps levels are examples.
The restricting part 216 may perform a behavior restriction by a biometric authentication in various places in the building 20. When a visitor intends to pass through the second key door KD2, the restricting part 216 may unlock it by a biometric authentication, for example. When a visitor intends to ride on the elevator E1 and the elevator EN, the restricting part 216 may perform a restriction of riding on by a biometric authentication, for example. For example, the restricting part 216 may restrict a floor in which a visitor can get off.
Incidentally, the restricting part 216 may restrict persons other than visitors. For example, the restricting part 216 may restrict such that a person, such as a child, who cannot judge whether or not it is dangerous, enters a dangerous area.
The integrating part 215 may update an integrated evaluation value each time a visitor visits. In other words, the integrated evaluation value may be changed over time.
The integrating part 215 may update the integrated evaluation value with information other than evaluation values by residents. For example, the integrating part 215 may change the integrated evaluation value to become lower when a visitor passes through a route other than a designated route. Moreover, the integrating part 215 may change the integrated evaluation value to become lower when a visitor roughly handles a piece of equipment related to the building. Moreover, the integrating part 215 may change the integrated evaluation value to become lower when a visitor has stayed for an inappropriately long time. Moreover, the integrating part 215 may change the integrated evaluation value to become lower when a delivery person of a home-delivery object has roughly handled the home-delivery object. The integrating part 215 may automatically update the integrated evaluated value on the basis of images that are always captured by a camera.
In the case of an apartment complex, a person, who is familiar with a resident such as relative and friend, visits, unlike an office building, or the like, including such as an enterprise handling confidential information. Therefore, visitor management, that is equivalent to the office building, or the like, including such as the enterprise handling confidential information, is not practical. For example, for a visitor, it is impractical to become clear whether or not the visitor is a suspicious person.
For example, not everyone can be trusted even if they are employees of a famous home-delivery company. It is reassuring to evaluate individuals even if they are employees of the famous home-delivery company.
Moreover, it is impractical to get high evaluations of many residents in advance for a person who visit all hoses such as a surveyor of the national census.
Thus, in the case of the apartment complex, an inflexible behavior restriction on a visitor is not realistic, and it is inconvenient if the behavior restriction on the visitor is strict.
Since the visitor management apparatus 2 in the second embodiment generates the integrated evaluation value by integrating each of evaluation values by each of residents, it is possible to provide useful information for residents. The visitor management apparatus 2 can combine security and convenience by using both of verification using biometric information and evaluation values by residents. When a visitor is identified by biometric information, the visitor can visit to a destination even if visiting to the destination is not expected, thereby convenience is high. When a visitor visits, since an integrated evaluation value corresponding to the visitor is provided to a resident of a destination to which the visitor visits, the resident can know the latest integrated evaluation value. Since the visitor management apparatus 2 can set such as permission privileges for each of residents of destinations even if a visitor is the same, it is safe. Since it is possible to give to a visit-again person permission privilege, which has been given to the visit-again person previously, or the like, convenient is high. Moreover, a visitor can recognize that the visitor is evaluated, thereby it is expected that service provided by a merchant, who visits to the building 20, will improve.
Incidentally, in the second embodiment, examples, in which a range sharing personal identification information is in the same building or between buildings managed by the same manager, are described, but the range is not limited. For example, persons belonging to a particular same network may share personal identification information. Moreover, personal identification information may be shared in a device authentication such as an electronic certificate, for example.
Third embodiments of a visitor management apparatus, a visitor management method and a recording medium will be described. Hereinafter, third embodiments of the visitor management apparatus, the visitor management method and the recording medium by using a visitor management apparatus 3 to which the third embodiments of the visitor management apparatus, the visitor management method and the recording medium are applied.
The visitor management system 300, to which a visitor management apparatus 3 in the third embodiment is applied, will be described with referring to
The visitor management system 300 manages visitors visiting to a plurality of buildings. As exemplified in
For example, it may be determined that an area, in which there is a building visited by the same person within a specified period, is within a range of the predetermined area, in which information is shared. For example, an approximate address may be specified from a global IP address. It may be determined that an area is within the range of the predetermined area on the basis of a global IP address. Moreover, it may be determined that an area is within the range of the predetermined area on the basis of the number of hops and ping of a network. Moreover, a device of a database for each of buildings 30 may store a number allocated for each of predetermined areas. In this case, it may be determined that a building is within a range of a predetermined area when the same number is recorded.
The configuration of the visitor management apparatus 3 will be described with referring to
As shown in
The visitor management apparatus 3 manages visitors of the building 30 corresponding to the visitor management apparatus 3. The visitor management apparatus 3 makes residents living in the same building 30 share visitor information as well as the visitor management apparatus 2 in the second embodiment. Visitor management operation for making residents living in the same building 30 share the visitor information, that is performed by the visitor management apparatus 3, may be similar to descriptions with referring to the flowchart of
The visitor management apparatus 3 further shares the visitor information with other buildings 30. In this point, the visitor management apparatus 3 in the third embodiment differs from the visitor management apparatus 2 in the second embodiment.
As shown in
Biometric information is a personal identification code and corresponds to personal information. Persons sharing an entrance can be regarded as one corporation. For this reason, residents living in the same building can share personal information of visitors.
By the way, it is not easy to provide personal information to third parties. In other words, it is not easy to provide visitor information, in which biometric information and evaluation value are associated with each other, to other buildings.
On the other hand, if it is possible to share information relating to visitors in other buildings, the information can be used as useful information. Therefore, in the third embodiment, in order to share information among buildings, biometric information may be changed to visitor identification information, from which a specific person can not be identified and which can be used to identify each visitor. In other words, the visitor identification information may be information that does not need to be treated as personal information. The visitor identification information may be information relating to person obtained by processing personal information so that a specific person can not be identified.
The visitor identification information may include attribute information of a visitor. The attribute information of the visitor may be information relating to wearing goods of the visitor, a height of the visitor, an outline of a face of the visitor, a physiognomy of the visitor, or the like.
The evaluation value acquiring part 212 acquires an evaluation value for the visitor by residents living in the building (step S21). Incidentally, in the visitor management operation with referring to the flowchart of
The integrating part 215 generates an integrated evaluation value by integrating each of evaluation values (step S22). Incidentally, in the visitor management operation for sharing the visitor information with the other buildings 30, the operation of the step S22 may be omitted.
The storage controlling part 213 associates and stores the visitor identification information corresponding to the visitor and the integrated evaluation value corresponding to the visitor (or the evaluation value (if the operation of the step S22 is omitted)) with each other (step S31). The storage controlling part 213 may associate one or more attribute information as the visitor identification information corresponding to the visitor and the evaluation value corresponding to the visitor with each other, and may store as the integrated visitor information 322 in the storing device 22. An example of the integrated visitor information 322 stored in the storing device 22 by the storage controlling part 213 is exemplified in Table 3 below.
The inter-building providing part 317 provides one or more attribute information and an evaluation value as the visitor identification information stored in the storing device 22, as the integrated visitor identification 322, to other building differing from the building 30 (step S32). Incidentally, in the step S31, the storage controlling part 213 may store the integrated visitor information exemplified in the Table 2 in the storing device 22; in the step S32, the inter-building providing part 317 may provide one or more attribute information and an evaluation value as the visitor identification information from information included in the integrated visitor information 222, i.e., information included in the integrated visitor information 322 exemplified in the Table 3, to the other building differing from the building 30.
As shown in
The inter-building integrating part 319 verifies the visitor identification information provided from the other building with the visitor identification information stored in the storing device 22 (step S34). The inter-building integrating part 319 estimates that the visitor corresponding to the visitor identification information stored in the storing device 22, that succeeded in verification with the visitor identification information provided from the other building, is the visitor corresponding to the visitor identification information provided from the other building (step S35). The inter-building integrating part 319 generates an inter-building integrated evaluation value by integrating the evaluation value (or, the integrated evaluation value (in the building)) corresponding to the visitor identification information provided from the other building and the evaluation value corresponding to the visitor identification information stored in the storing device 22 (step S36).
The inter-building integrating part 319 may integrate evaluation values by adding each of evaluation values. The inter-building integrating part 319 may generate the inter-building integrated evaluation value on the basis of comparing evaluation values and a predetermined threshold value.
The inter-building integrating part 319 may generate information indicating distribution of each of evaluation values as the inter-building integrated evaluation value. The inter-building integrating part 319 may generate a histogram of each of evaluation values. When the histogram is generated, it is possible to easily understand how many residents having performed high-evaluation in an area, and how many residents having performed low-evaluation in the area. The inter-building integrating part 319 can generate information that allows reference to evaluations of all residents living in the area.
When evaluation values are integrated, it is easy to understand evaluations of all of residents for visitors, especially when there are many residents living in the area. Since a resident visited by a visitor easily judges about the visitor, it is convenient.
The storage controlling part 213 associates and stores the visitor identification information corresponding to the visitor and the integrated evaluation value corresponding to the visitor with each other (step S37). The storage controlling part 317 may associate one or more attribute information as visitor identification biometric information corresponding to the visitor and the integrated evaluation value corresponding to the visitor with each other, and may store as the inter-building information 323 in the storing device 22. An example of the inter-building visitor information 323 stored in the storing device 22 by the storage controlling part 213 is exemplified in Table 4 bellow.
As an example of using the inter-building integrated evaluation value, the visitor management apparatus 3 may perform behavior restriction operation for a visitor.
As shown in
The providing part 214 provides the inter-building visitor information 323 stored in the storing device 22 to a resident of a destination of the visiting-again person (step S39). Moreover, when the visitor information 221 by the resident of the destination of the visiting-again person is stored in the storing device 22, the providing part 214 may provide the visitor information 221 to the resident.
The restricting part 216 estimates which person the visiting-again person is on the basis of the visiting-again person identification information (step S40). The restricting part 216 may search visitor identification information of the same person as the visiting-again person from the visitor identification information stored in the storing device 22 on the basis of the visiting-again person identification information. The restricting part 216 imposes behavior restriction corresponding to an integrated evaluation value associated with the visitor identification information of the same person (step S41). The restricting part 216 may perform behavior restrictions of the five-steps levels described in the second embodiment according to the inter-building integrated evaluation value, for example.
Even if a visitor visits to a building at first time, if the visitor has visited to a neighboring building, an access authority, or the like such as behavior restriction in the neighboring building may be applied to the visitor.
Moreover, the restricting part 216 may change behavior restriction imposed on the visiting-again person in response to a request of the behavior restriction based on at least one of the visitor information 221 and the inter-building visitor information 323 by a resident of a destination of the visiting-again person. For example, when a resident of a destination rejects a visitor, the restricting part 216 may restrict behavior toward a door of a dwelling of the destination even if the visitor is a person having a high inter-building integrated evaluation value.
On the other hand, if a visitor has a high inter-building integrated evaluation value, the restricting part 216 may allow the visitor to enter a door of a dwelling of a destination without obtaining permission of a resident of the destination. In this case, the operation of the step S39 may be omitted.
A visitor management system 300′, to which the visitor management apparatus 3 in the third embodiment is applied, and which is a modification of the third embodiment, will be described with referring to
In the above-mentioned third embodiment, a case in which information is transmitted and received directly between buildings has been described as an example. As shown in
Since attribute information is information from which a specific person can not be identified, there are cases in which a visitor can not be identified on the basis of only single attribute information. Therefore, multiple types of attribute information may be associated with a single visitor. By combining a plurality of attribute information, it is possible to improve possibility of identifying a visitor. Moreover, by narrowing a range of an area in which information is shared, it is possible to improve possibility of identifying a visitor.
On the other hand, the same attribute information may be positively associated with different visitors. For example, the integrating part 215 may generate evaluation value of each of companies based on attribute information common to a plurality of persons such as a uniform of a company, in addition to an integrated evaluation value for a single person. For example, persons, who wear a uniform of a home-delivery company having a delivery person having a high evaluation value, have the same attribute information. A delivery person having this attribute information may be allowed to use a home-delivery box in a corresponding area, for example. Moreover, a visitor having attribute information with a high evaluation value in a plurality of buildings may be able to obtain at least a part of a common access right in a corresponding area, for example.
Incidentally, as other shared information relating to a visitor, the visitor information 221 may be given label information such as a delivery person, a resident, a friend of a resident, and solicitation. The label information may be given by the evaluation value acquiring part 212 when a resident evaluates a visitor.
Moreover, the identification information acquiring part 211 may use a liveness function. This allows to prevent spoofing using photographs, image, and the like, thereby it is possible to improve security.
Since the visitor management apparatus 3 in the third embodiment provides a visitor identification information and an evaluation value other building other than a building, it is possible to share an evaluation value of a visitor between buildings. For example, when a visitor visits to a building at the first time, it is possible to manage behavior of the visitor in the building by an evaluation for the visitor in other neighboring building, thereby convenient is high. Since the visitor identification information is information, from which a specific person can not identified, changed from biometric identification, the visitor identification information can be shared among buildings without any difficulty. Since the visitor management apparatus 3 generates an integrated evaluation value, it is possible to provide useful information for residents. Since a resident of a destination of a visitor can judge the visitor by using an integrated evaluation value integrated more evaluation values, it is possible to judge with high usefulness. Moreover, since an integrated evaluation value corresponding to a visitor is provided to a resident when the visitor visits the resident, the resident can know the latest integrated evaluation value. The visitor management apparatus 2 can combine security and convenience by using both of verification using visitor identification information and evaluation values by residents. When a visitor is identified by the visitor identification information, the visitor can visit to a destination even if visiting to the destination is not expected, thereby convenience is high.
