Management system

An entrance/leaving management apparatus which includes a database and uses an information storage medium of a user to manage use of a management object provided in a facility and manage entrance/leaving of the user, wherein the information storage medium stores an identification information of the user, the apparatus comprising:

• a first writing unit, provided in a vicinity of an entrance of the facility, which writes use permission information, via a transmitting/receiving unit of the first writing unit, for permitting the use of the management object onto the information storage medium when the user enters the facility;
• wherein the first writing unit includes:
• a storage unit which stores collation identification information indicating the user permitted to enter the facility;
• the transmitting/receiving unit which reads the identification information of the user from the information storage medium;
• and a collation unit which collates the identification information read from the information storage medium with the collation identification information, and enables the user to enter the facility when the identification information read from the information storage medium coincides with the collation identification information;
• a second writing unit, provided for each management object, which writes use information, indicating that the management object is used, onto the information storage medium when the user uses the management object, the use information including identification information of the management object used by the user;
• wherein the second writing unit controls the availability or unavailability of the management objected based on the use permission information stored on the information storage medium;
• a door-opening unit which opens a door based on the identification information of the user stored on the information storage medium when the user enters the facility and opens the door based on the use information stored on the information storage medium when the user leaves the facility;
• and
• an erasing unit which stores the use information into the database in association with the identification information of the user and erases the use permission information and the use information at the same time from the information storage medium to return the information storage medium to a state before the use permission information and the use information are written, when the user leaves the facility.

An entrance/leaving management method executed by an entrance/leaving management apparatus which includes a database and uses an information storage medium of a user to manage use of a management object provided in a facility and manage entrance/leaving of the user, wherein the information storage medium stores an identification information of the user, the method comprising:

• a first writing process, performed by a first writing unit provided in a vicinity of an entrance of the facility, which writes use permission information, via a transmitting/receiving unit of the first writing unit, for permitting the use of the management object onto the information storage medium when the user enters the facility;
• wherein the first writing unit includes:
• a storage unit which stores collation identification information indicating the user permitted to enter the facility;
• the transmitting/receiving unit which reads the identification information of the user from the information storage medium;
• and a collation unit which collates the identification information read from the information storage medium with the collation identification information, and enables the user to enter the facility when the identification information read from the information storage medium coincides with the collation identification information;
• a second writing process, performed by a second writing unit provided for each management object, which stores use information, indicating that the management object is used, onto the information storage medium when the user uses the management object, the use information including identification information of the management object used by the user;
• wherein the second writing unit controls the availability or unavailability of the management objected based on the use permission information stored on the information storage medium;
• a door-opening process which opens a door based on the identification information of the user stored on the information storage medium when the user enters the facility and opens the door based on the use information stored on the information storage medium when the user leaves the facility;
• and
• an erasing process which stores the use information into the database in association with the identification information of the user and erases the use permission information and the use information at the same time from the information storage medium to return the information storage medium to a state before the use permission information and the use information are written, when the user leaves the facility.
