Claims4
A facilities controlling system for performing an entrance authorization evaluation for a user into a region by comparing a region level, which indicates the level of security for a region that is provided in the facility, and a user level, which indicates the level of security for a user that uses the region, comprising:
- a region level storing portion storing a region level for each region for which entry is controlled;
- a user level storing portion storing a user level for each user that uses the region;
- a reader terminal, provided in each region, sending an evaluation request for requesting an entry authorization evaluation for the user for the region in response to a user operation;
- and
- an evaluation processing portion evaluating entry authorization of the user for the region, through comparing, in response to an evaluation request from a reader terminal, the region level of the region, obtained from the region level storing portion, and the user level of the user, obtained from the user level storing portion, and directing, based on the evaluation result, the locking or unlocking of an electric lock that is provided at the region, wherein:
- the evaluation processing portion changes the user level of the user, in the user level storing portion, to a value that is equal to the region level when the evaluation result indicates that entry is authorized.
A facilities controlling method used in a facilities controlling system for performing an entrance authorization evaluation for a user into a region by comparing a region level, which indicates the level of security for a region that is provided in the facility, and a user level, which indicates the level of security for a user that uses the region, comprising:
- a region level storing step storing, in a region level storing portion, a region level for each region for which entry is controlled;
- a user level storing step storing, in a user level storing portion, a user level for each user who uses the region;
- an operating step sending, using a reader terminal provided in each region, an evaluation request requesting an entry authorization evaluation for the user for the region in response to a user operation;
- and
- an evaluation processing step evaluating, using an evaluation processing portion, the entry authorization of the user for the region, through comparing, in response to an evaluation request from a reader terminal, the region level of the region, obtained from the region level storing portion, and the user level of the user, obtained from the user level storing portion, and directing based on the evaluation result, the locking or unlocking of an electric lock that is provided at the region, any
- changing, at the evaluation processing portion, the user level of the user in the user level storing portion to a value that is equal to the region level when the evaluation result indicates that entry is authorized.
