Abstract

An entering and leaving management system is provided. The management system includes a management terminal including: an authentication history information acquisition section configured to acquire authentication history information; a registered person image acquisition section configured to acquire a registered person image recorded associated with personal identification data of the authentication history information; an image acquisition section configured to acquire an image of a person to be authenticated, recorded associated with an authentication time of the authentication history information; and a listing section configured to list the registered person images and the image of the person to be authenticated on the operation screen side by side with the authentication history information.

Claims

1. An entering and leaving management system comprising:

a registered person information record section configured to record personal identification data and a registered person image, which is an image of a person, in association with each other;

a personal identification data reader configured to read the personal identification data of a person to be authenticated;

an authentication management apparatus configured to check the personal identification data recorded in the registered person information record section based on the personal identification data of the person to be authenticated read through the personal identification data reader and control unlocking and locking of a gateway based on the personal authentication result;

an imaging apparatus configured to take an image of the person to be authenticated when the person to be authenticated operates the personal identification data reader;

an image recorder configured to record the image of the person to be authenticated, taken by the imaging apparatus;

an authentication history information record section configured to record the personal authentication result of the personal identification data checked by the authentication management apparatus and the authentication time as authentication history information; and

a management terminal configured to display the authentication history information recorded in the authentication history information record section on an operation screen,

wherein the management terminal includes;

an authentication history information acquisition section configured to acquire the authentication history information recorded in the authentication history information record section;

a registered person image acquisition section configured to acquire the registered person image recorded in the registered person information record section associated with the personal identification data of the authentication history information acquired by the authentication history information acquisition section;

an image acquisition section configured to acquire the image of the person to be authenticated recorded in the image recorder at the authentication time of the authentication history information acquired by the authentication history information acquisition section; and

a listing section configured to list the registered person images acquired by the registered person image acquisition section and the image of the person to be authenticated acquired by the image acquisition section on the operation screen side by side with the authentication history information.

2. The entering and leaving management system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the listing section of the management terminal displays the image of the person to be authenticated, acquired by the image acquisition section on the operation screen as a still image.

3. The entering and leaving management system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the management terminal further includes:

a selection section configured to select any desired authentication history information out of the authentication history information listed by the listing section; and

a playback section for playing back the image of the person to be authenticated, associated with the authentication history information selected through the selection section on the operation screen.

4. The entering and leaving management system as claimed in claim 3, wherein the management terminal further includes:

a specification section configured to specify an image of any desired image frame from the image of the person to be authenticated, selected through the selection section; and

a registration section configured to register the image of the image frame specified from the image of the person to be authenticated, specified through the specification section in the registered person information record section as a registered person image.

5. The entering and leaving management system as claimed in claim 3, wherein the management terminal further includes:

a specification section configured to specify an image of any desired image frame from the image of the person to be authenticated, played back on the operation screen by the playback section; and

a registration section configured to register the image of the image frame specified from the image of the person to be authenticated, specified through the specification section in the registered person information record section as a registered person image.

6. The entering and leaving management system as claimed in claim 4, wherein the management terminal further includes:

an extraction section configured to extract an image of any desired partial area from the image of the image frame specified from the image of the person to be authenticated, specified through the specification section, and

wherein the registration section of the management terminal registers the image of the partial area extracted by the extraction section in the registered person information record section as a registered person image.
