Abstract

An entering/leaving management system includes a mobile terminal and a managing server. The mobile terminal and a room IC card are carried to a room when using the room, and a start key of the mobile terminal is depressed, so that an IC card reading unit reads room identifier information from the room IC card. The mobile terminal adds time information acquired by a time management unit and the room identifier information to user identifier information read from a user IC card, so that the resulting information is stored into an information storage unit as entering/leaving managing information. After reading of all user IC cards is completed, the mobile terminal transmits the entering/leaving managing information to the managing server by using an information transmitting unit, so that the entering/leaving managing information is stored in the managing server.

Claims8

Dependent claims

An entering/leaving management system including a user IC card on which user identifier information to identify a specific user is recorded, a room IC card on which room identifier information to identify a specific room is recorded, a mobile terminal provided to access the user IC card and the room IC card, and a managing server, the mobile terminal comprising:

a time management unit provided to acquire a current time;
an IC card reading unit reading the user identifier information from the user IC card and reading the room identifier information from the room IC card;
an information storage unit provided to store the user identifier information read from the user IC card together with additional information as entering/leaving managing information;
and
an information transmitting unit transmitting the entering/leaving managing information stored in the information storage unit, to the managing server,
wherein the IC card reading unit reads the room identifier information from the room IC card to initialize the IC card reading unit as to location,
wherein the mobile terminal adds the time information acquired by the time management unit and the room identifier information to the user identifier information read from the user IC card by the IC card reading unit, so that the resulting information is stored into the information storage unit as the entering/leaving managing information,
wherein, after reading of all user IC cards is completed, the mobile terminal transmits the entering/leaving managing information stored in the information storage unit, to the managing server by using the information transmitting unit, and the entering/leaving managing information is stored in the managing server, and
wherein the managing server manages times of arrival and departure of the user through cross reference of the stored entering/leaving managing information with user basic information and room basic information.

An entering/leaving management system including a user IC card on which user identifier information to identify a specific user is recorded, an operator IC card on which operator identifier information to identify a specific operator is recorded, a mobile terminal provided to access the user IC card and the operator IC card, and a managing server, the mobile terminal comprising:

a time management unit provided to acquire a current time;
an IC card reading unit reading the user identifier information from the user IC card and reading the operator identifier information from the operator IC card;
an information storage unit provided to store the user identifier information read from the user IC card together with additional information as entering/leaving managing information;
and
an information transmitting unit transmitting the entering/leaving managing information stored in the information storage unit, to the managing server,
wherein the IC card reading unit reads the operator identifier information from the operator IC card so as to initialize the IC card reading unit with the operator identifier information,
wherein the mobile terminal adds the time information acquired by the time management unit and the operator identifier information to the user identifier information read from the user IC card by the IC card reading unit, so that the resulting information is stored into the information storage unit as the entering/leaving managing information,
wherein, after reading of all user IC cards is completed, the mobile terminal transmits the entering/leaving managing information stored in the information storage unit, to the managing server by using the information transmitting unit, and the entering/leaving managing information is stored in the managing server, and
wherein the managing server manages times of arrival and departure of the user through cross reference of the stored entering/leaving managing information with user basic information and operator basic information.
