Electric lock control method, electric lock control system, and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium

An electric lock control system comprising:

• a first determiner that determines whether a person is present in a predetermined region surrounding an electric lock, based on first information generated by an electronic device;
• a second determiner that, when the first determiner has determined that a first person is present in the predetermined region, determines whether the first person is a person who is permitted to unlock the electric lock, based on second information related to movement of the first person;
• and
• a controller that controls a state of the electric lock based on a result of the determination by the second determiner, the state being a locked state or an unlocked state, wherein
• the electric lock is settable to one of at least two security levels,
• the at least two security levels include a first security level and a second security level,
• the controller:
• when the second determiner has determined that the first person is the person who is permitted to unlock the electric lock, puts the electric lock in an unlocked state;
• and
• when the second determiner has not determined that the first person is the person who is permitted to unlock the electric lock,
• (i) when the electric lock is preset to the first security level, puts the electric lock in the unlocked state, and
• (ii) when the electric lock is preset to the second security level:
• receives an input indicating whether to permit unlocking of the electric lock;
• (ii-i) when the input received indicates that unlocking of the electric lock is permitted, puts the electric lock in the unlocked state;
• and
• (ii-ii) when the input received indicates that unlocking of the electric lock is not permitted, does not put the electric lock in the unlocked state.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a computer program for causing a computer to execute electric lock control processing, wherein

• the electric lock control processing includes:
• performing a first determination of whether a person is present in a predetermined region surrounding an electric lock, based on first information generated by an electronic device;
• when it is determined that a first person is present in the predetermined region in the performing of the first determination, performing a second determination of whether the first person is a person who is permitted to unlock the electric lock, based on second information related to movement of the first person;
• and
• controlling a state of the electric lock based on a result of the second determination, the state being a locked state or an unlocked state,
• the electric lock is settable to one of at least two security levels,
• the at least two security levels include a first security level and a second security level, and
• the controlling includes:
• when it is determined that the first person is the person who is permitted to unlock the electric lock in the performing of the second determination, putting the electric lock in an unlocked state;
• and
• when it is not determined that the first person is the person who is permitted to unlock the electric lock in the performing of the second determination,
• (i) when the electric lock is preset to the first security level, putting the electric lock in the unlocked state, and
• (ii) when the electric lock is preset to the second security level:
• receiving an input indicating whether to permit unlocking of the electric lock;
• (ii-i) when the input received indicates that unlocking of the electric lock is permitted, putting the electric lock in the unlocked state;
• and
• (ii-ii) when the input received indicates that unlocking of the electric lock is not permitted, not putting the electric lock in the unlocked state.
