Entry and exit control apparatus and entry and exit control method
First Claim
1. A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium having stored therein an entry and exit control program for determining, when a single user enters or leaves an area to which a security level is assigned, whether the user is allowed to enter or leave the area by performing authentication, the entry and exit control program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:
- first performing, when the user associated with a security level moves from a first to which a first security level is assigned to a second area to which a second security level is assigned, an advanced authentication of identification information of the user, the second security level being higher than the first security level;
changing, when the user is present in the second area and the second security level is higher than the security level of the user, a security level of the second area to the security level of the user; and
second performing including performing the advanced authentication when the user moves from the second area to an area to which a security level higher than the changed security level of the second area is assigned, and performing a simplified authentication when the user moves from the second area to an area to which a security level identical to or lower than the changed security level of the second area is assigned.

Abstract
When a user enters or leaves an area to which a security level is assigned, it is determined whether the user is allowed to enter or leave the area by performing authentication. When the user moves between areas to which different security levels are preliminarily assigned, appropriate authentication is performed on the user depending on the difference between the security levels of the areas.

6. An entry and exit control method for determining, when a single user enters or leaves an area to which a security level is assigned, whether the user is allowed to enter or leave the area by performing authentication, the method comprising:
-
first performing, when the user associated with a security level moves from a first area to which a first security level is assigned to a second area to which a second security level is assigned, an advanced authentication of identification information of the user, the second security level being higher than the first security level; changing, when the user is present in the second area and the second security level is higher than the security level of the user, a security level of the second area to the security level of the user; and second performing including performing the advanced authentication when the user moves from the second area to an area to which a security level higher than the changed security level of the second area is assigned, and performing a simplified authentication when the user moves from the second area to an area to which a security level identical to or lower than the changed security level of the second area is assigned. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. An entry and exit control apparatus for determining, when a single user enters or leaves an area to which a security level is assigned, whether the user is allowed to enter or leave the area by performing authentication, the apparatus comprising:
-
an authentication unit that performs, when the user associated with a security level moves from a first area to which a first security level is assigned to a second area to which a second security level is assigned, an advanced authentication of identification information of the user, the second security level being higher than the first security level; and a security level changing unit that changes, when the user is present in the second area and the second security level is higher than the security level of the user, a security level of the second area to the security level of the user, wherein the authentication unit further performs the advanced authentication when the user moves from the second area to an area to which a security level higher than the changed security level of the second area is assigned, or further performs a simplified authentication when the user moves from the second area to an area to which a security level identical to or lower than the changed security level of the second area is assigned.
