Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an entry / exit person identification method for identifying an entry / exit person by reading identification information recorded on a recording medium carried by the entry / exit person by an identification device installed at an entrance of a management area. And an insole for footwear used in the method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are known personal authentication systems and entry / exit management systems in which an IC card storing identification information such as personal ID information is buried in a sole of a shoe and labor for attaching the IC card to a reader is eliminated. See JP-A-2-161561). Also disclosed is a system in which a transponder responding to a given electromagnetic wave is used as a data carrier, which is put in a shoe or a pocket provided on a shoe sole, receives an identification signal sent from the transponder, and performs entry / exit management. (See Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-4845).

[0003]

However, in the above-described configuration, a recording medium such as an IC card or a transponder must be embedded in shoes, and a pocket must be sewn to socks, which takes a lot of time and troubles in manufacturing. There has been a drawback that entry and exit management cannot be performed unless a recording medium is attached to all the shoes or socks that are sometimes worn.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an entry / exit person identification method which enables a recording medium to be easily mounted without touching shoes or socks, and an insole for footwear used in this method. .

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, an identification device installed at an entrance of a management area reads identification information recorded on a recording medium carried by a person entering and leaving the room to enter and leave the room. In the method for identifying a person entering and leaving a room, the recording medium is detachably mounted between footwear and feet of the person entering and leaving the room (claim 1). Preferably, the recording medium is laid under the feet. It is to be mounted (claim 2).

The footwear insole used in the entry / exiter identification method, wherein the recording medium is embedded, allows the recording medium to be easily mounted on the footwear.

In the present invention, "entrance / exit" includes not only "entry" and "exit" but also includes only "entry" or "exit".

1 shows an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a shoe insole 3 in which a C card 1 (recording medium) is embedded, and FIG. 2 is a side sectional view showing a state where the insole 3 is attached to the shoe 5. The IC card 1 is sufficiently thinner than the thickness of the insole 3, and the insole 3 serves as a cushion for protecting the IC card 1 by absorbing tread pressure and the like. IC card 1
It is preferable to dispose the shoe on the arch where the shoe is relatively hard to bend and the foot pressure is relatively small.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the IC card 1. The IC card 1 has a one-chip microcomputer 7 composed of a CPU / ROM / RAM and a flash memory for recording and holding ID information such as personal identification information. When,
It comprises a receiving unit that receives an electromagnetic wave sent from the outside and transmits it to the one-chip microcomputer 7, and a transmitting unit that emits a weak electromagnetic wave carrying ID information.

Next, a case where the insole 3 is applied to an entry / exit person identification system will be described. As shown in FIG.
The entry / exit person identification system includes an identification device 13 and a lock control device 17. FIG. 5 is a block diagram of the identification device 13. The identification device 13 includes a transmitting unit that transmits an electromagnetic wave carrying an instruction command to the IC card 1 and an IC unit.
A receiving unit for receiving the electromagnetic waves sent from the card 1,
It comprises a microcomputer 19 for collating the ID information sent from the IC card, an antenna 21, and a database 23 in which ID information necessary for entry / exit management is registered. The microcomputer 19 has a CPU, a RAM,
It is composed of a ROM. The identification device 13 is installed near the entrance of the management area. Further, the identification device 13 continuously transmits a weak electromagnetic wave in which an instruction command for prompting transmission of ID information to the IC card 1 is given. The lock control device 17 is installed on the door 25 of the entrance and exit, and
The microcomputer 19 can control the locking of the door 25 by sending an instruction command to the locking control device 17.

When the person entering and leaving the room stands in front of the entrance with the shoes on which the insole 3 is attached, first, the IC card 1 embedded in the insole 3 receives the instruction command sent from the identification device 13. And sends ID information. Next, the identification device 13 receives the ID information sent from the IC card and immediately checks it against the ID information registered on the database 23. If it is determined that entry / exit is possible, the identification device 13 activates the lock control device 17 to unlock the door 25 and permits entry / exit of the entry / exit person.

In the above embodiment, the IC card 1 for transmitting information by electromagnetic waves and the identification device 13 are used. In addition, a transponder using a magnetic effect or an electric effect or a transponder using an electromagnetic wave absorption response is used. (For example, see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-129476) and the like, and an optimal one can be appropriately selected according to the application. The IC card 1 does not necessarily need to be embedded in the insole 3. For example, the IC card 1 may be formed into a sheet and attached to the inside of footwear with an adhesive or an adhesive, or a hook-and-loop fastener may be used so that the IC card 1 can be easily peeled off. Is also conceivable. Also, if a thin film on which a circuit such as a microcomputer or a transceiver is printed instead of the IC card 1 as a recording medium is sandwiched between the insole 3 in the form of a sandwich, the insole 3 can be made thinner, and the sense of discomfort given to the foot can be reduced. It is reduced. Further, if the antenna of the identification device 13 is formed in a sheet shape, it is only necessary to lay the antenna on the floor, so that the labor for embedding can be saved.

As an embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the above-described system, for example, a system for taking a flow line history of a person is also conceivable. In this case, a tester who wants to obtain a flow line history is asked to wear footwear with a recording medium, and the identification device 13 is installed in advance at the entrance and exit of each area where the history is to be obtained. The identification information recorded on the recording medium may be stored in a storage device such as a RAM in the identification device 13 each time the vehicle passes through the entrance. Also, by recording the passage time of the doorway as data in the storage device,
A time card system can also be configured.

[0014]

As described above, since the recording medium is detachably mounted between the footwear and the foot, it is not necessary to make a hole or sew a pocket to embed the recording medium. In addition, since it is detachable, when changing shoes, it is sufficient to take out and insert the recording medium without attaching a new recording medium. If the recording medium is embedded in the insole, it has both the function as the recording medium and the function as the insole.
