Abstract
Access managing apparatus, maintenance operation-assisting access managing apparatus, access management object apparatus, maintenance operation access management object apparatus, and methods therefor. The apparatus and methods reduce the burden on managers, administrators, operators, or monitoring center personnel regarding management of access to facilities, installations, or equipment. Access management operations include the entry into a facility, installation or equipment for operations, the acquisition of control right, and the issuance of a password for an operation database. When requesting an operation, logic keys are extracted in advance that provide the right of access to the facility, installation or equipment requiring a series of operation to be implemented by the operator. The logic keys or their temporary versions are transmitted to the operator.
