Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same or equivalent elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.
[ first embodiment ]
Hereinafter, the first embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a system configuration according to the present embodiment. The system according to the present embodiment includes, for example: a housing device 100 and a terminal device 200. In the following description, for convenience of explanation, the user of the terminal apparatus 200 is referred to as "user".
The storage device 100 is a device capable of storing an article therein, and includes a door 11 and a lock 20 (hereinafter, also referred to as a locking/unlocking unit). Further, the housing apparatus 100 includes a unit communicating with the terminal device 200. In the following description, a refrigerator is exemplified as the storage apparatus 100, but the storage apparatus 100 is not limited to the refrigerator.
The terminal device 200 is an information processing device including means for communicating with the storage device 100. The terminal device 200 may be, for example, a mobile terminal (a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or the like).
Next, the storage apparatus 100 will be described in detail.
Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of the storage apparatus 100. The storage apparatus 100 shown in fig. 2 includes, for example, a case 10, a door 11 (e.g., door 11a and door 11 b), and door opening/ closing shafts 12a and 12b. Further, the housing device 100 includes, for example, a solenoid coil power supply unit 21, a solenoid coil 22, a pin receiving lock hole 23, a movable pin 24, and a pin receiving hole 25. In the following description, the door opening and closing shafts 12a and 12b will be referred to as the door 12 when they are not necessary to be distinguished. Further, for example, the housing apparatus 100 is an example of the housing apparatus 100, and the configuration of the housing apparatus 100 is not limited to that shown in fig. 2. For example, fig. 2 shows two doors 11 (door 11a, door 11 b), door opening/closing shafts 12a, and door opening/closing shafts 12b, but this does not mean that the number of doors 11 and door opening/closing shafts 12 is limited.
The case 10 has an opening. The box 10 has a space (storage space) capable of storing articles therein.
The door 11 is disposed to close the opening of the case 10. In the following description, a person who manually opens and closes the door 11 will be referred to as an operator.
The door opening/closing shaft 12 penetrates the door 11. The lock 20 may be realized by, for example, a solenoid coil power supply unit 21, a solenoid coil 22, a pin receiving lock hole 23, a movable pin 24, and a pin receiving hole 25.
The solenoid coil power supply unit 21 is connected to a power source (not shown) and the solenoid coil 22, and supplies power to the solenoid coil 22. The movable pin 24 moves in the longitudinal direction of the movable pin 24 based on the electromagnetic force generated from the solenoid coil 22. For example, the door 11a and the door 11b are locked in a state where the movable pin 24 penetrates the pin receiving locking hole 23 and is inserted into the pin receiving hole 25. On the other hand, for example, in a state where the movable pin 24 does not penetrate the pin-receiving locking hole 23, the doors 11a and 11b are unlocked.
Hereinafter, the input section 102 and the display section 103 will be explained with reference to fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the input unit 102 and the display unit 103. Fig. 3 shows an example of the input unit 102 and the display unit 103, and the input unit 102 and the display unit 103 are not limited to fig. 3.
The input unit 102 accepts input operations by an operator, and is implemented by, for example, buttons, keys, a touch panel, and the like. The input unit 102 may receive biometric information (fingerprint information, iris information, vein information, face image, and the like) of the user. When the input unit 102 acquires the biometric information, the input unit 102 is provided as hardware including the biometric information corresponding to the acquisition target. Referring to fig. 3, the input section 102 includes a key 1021, for example. For example, the operator presses a key 1021 to input user identification information (a password or the like).
The display unit 103 notifies the operator of information. Referring to fig. 3, for example, the display section 103 includes a display screen 1031 and display lamps 1032. The display screen 1031 is implemented by, for example, a liquid crystal display, an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode), or the like. For example, on the display screen 1031, a message or the like may be displayed that instructs an operation necessary for unlocking the door 11. The display lamp 1032 is realized by, for example, an LED (Light Emitting Diode) or the like. The display lamp 1032 may notify the presence or absence of locking (or unlocking) by, for example, lighting or blinking.
Next, a functional configuration of the storage apparatus 100 will be described.
Fig. 4 is a block diagram showing an example of a functional configuration of the storage apparatus 100. The storage apparatus 100 includes, for example: communication unit 101, input unit 102, display unit 103, storage unit 110, and control unit 120.
The communication unit 101 performs wireless communication with the terminal device 200. The communication unit 101 is implemented by, for example, an NIC (Network Interface Card). The communication unit 101 according to the present embodiment communicates directly (i.e., without passing through a communication network) with the terminal apparatus 200. For example, the communication unit 101 can communicate with the terminal device 200 using Bluetooth (registered trademark), BLE (registered trademark), or the like.
The signal transmitted from the terminal apparatus 200 includes, for example, information identifying the terminal apparatus 200. In the following description, information for identifying the terminal device 200 is referred to as terminal identification information. For example, the terminal identification information may be a Media Access Control (MAC) address of the terminal device 200 or a manufacturing number of the terminal device 200. The terminal identification information may be a number or the like assigned to the terminal device 200 at the same time as the communication company enters into a communication contract. The terminal identification information may be information generated by software executed in the terminal device 200 and used to enable authentication with the storage device 100.
When the communication unit 101 receives a signal directly from the terminal device 200 (i.e., receives no signal via the communication network), the longer the distance between the storage device 100 and the terminal device 200, the smaller the intensity of the signal received by the communication unit 101 from the terminal device 200. In the following description, for convenience of description, communication without passing through a communication network is also referred to as direct communication.
The display unit 103 is used to present information to the user. The display unit 103 is realized by, for example, an LED (Light Emitting Diode) display, an LED lamp, or the like.
The door operation detection unit 104 detects an opening/closing operation of the door 11. For example, the door operation detector 104 may detect the rotation of the door opening/closing shaft 12. The door operation detection unit 104 may detect the opening and closing operation of the door 11 based on the rotation angle around the door opening and closing shaft 12. The door operation detection unit 104 is only required to be able to detect the opening and closing operation of the door 11, and the details of the detection method are not limited.
The upper lock release portion 105 locks and unlocks the door 11. The upper lock/unlock section 105 is realized by, for example, a solenoid coil power supply section 21, a solenoid coil 22, a pin receiving lock hole 23, a movable pin 24, and a pin receiving hole 25. The locking/unlocking unit 105 is not limited in detail as long as it can lock and unlock the door 11.
The storage unit 110 stores information for operating the storage device 100. The storage unit 110 is implemented by, for example, a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a RAM (Random Access Memory).
The storage unit 110 stores, for example, information identifying the terminal device 200 having the unlocking authority of the door 11 (hereinafter, referred to as registered terminal identification information) and information identifying the user having the unlocking authority of the door 11 (hereinafter, referred to as registered user identification information). In the following description, the terminal apparatus 200 corresponding to the registered terminal identification information is referred to as a registered terminal apparatus 200.
The registered user identification information is not limited in detail as long as it is information for identifying a user having an unlocking authority of the door 11. The information for identifying the user may be, for example, a password or the like set by the user. Alternatively, the information for identifying the user may be, for example, biometric information (fingerprint information, iris information, vein information, face image information, and the like). In the following description, a user corresponding to registered user identification information is referred to as a registered user.
The control unit 120 controls the entire storage apparatus 100. The control Unit 120 is realized by a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit). For example, the processor reads and executes a program stored in the control section 120, whereby the processor operates as the control section 120.
The control unit 120 includes, for example, an authentication control unit 121, a locking/unlocking control unit 122, and a notification unit 123.
The authentication control part 121 authenticates at least one of the terminal device 200 and the operator. Specifically, when the input unit 102 receives information for identifying the authentication target user, the authentication control unit 121 authenticates the authentication target user based on the registered user identification information. Also, when the operator authentication is performed based on the registered user identification information, the authentication control part 121 may acquire or update the registered terminal identification information based on the operation of the authenticated operator with respect to the input part 102. The authentication control unit 121 may store the acquired registered terminal identification information in the storage unit 110. Thereby, the authentication control unit 121 can restrict acquisition or update of the registered terminal identification information to the registered user.
When the authentication control unit 121 acquires the terminal identification information of the terminal device 200 to be authenticated, the acquired terminal device 200 to be authenticated is authenticated based on the registered terminal identification information.
The locking/unlocking control unit 122 controls locking and unlocking of the door 11. Specifically, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 locks and unlocks the door 11 based on the strength of the signal received from the terminal device 200 by the communication unit 101 through direct communication.
More specifically, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 locks the door 11 when the intensity of the signal received by the communication unit 101 from the terminal device 200 is smaller than a predetermined threshold value. On the other hand, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 unlocks the door 11 when the intensity of the signal received by the communication unit 101 from the terminal device 200 is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold value.
The communication unit 101 receives a signal from the registered terminal device 200 without via a communication network (i.e., direct communication), and when the intensity of the signal is less than a predetermined threshold value, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 locks the door 11. On the other hand, the communication unit 101 receives a signal from the registered terminal device 200 without via the communication network (that is, by direct communication), and when the intensity of the signal is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 unlocks the door 11. Alternatively, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 may unlock the door 11 when the intensity of a signal received by the communication unit 101 from the registered terminal device 200 through direct communication is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value and within a predetermined range.
For example, it is assumed that the storage apparatus 100 is a refrigerator installed in the house of the user of the terminal apparatus 200. Further, it is assumed that the user of the terminal device 200 is at home. Further, it is assumed that the terminal device 200 is present at a position where direct communication with the storage device 100 is possible (that is, the storage device 100 can receive a signal from the terminal device 200 without via a communication network) and the intensity of the signal is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value. In this case, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 unlocks the door 11. This enables a user of the terminal device 200 to take out an article (for example, food) stored in the storage device 100.
On the other hand, assume that the user of the terminal device 200 goes out with the terminal device 200. Further, it is assumed that the terminal device 200 is present at a position where the intensity of the signal from the terminal device 200 is smaller than a predetermined threshold (for example, the terminal device 200 and the storage device 100 cannot directly communicate with each other). In this case, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 locks the door 11. Therefore, when the user of the terminal device 200 goes out with the terminal device 200, for example, a housekeeping person at home cannot take out an article (for example, food) stored in the storage device 100.
The storage device 100 may further include a temperature sensor (not shown) for measuring the temperature inside the casing 10. The locking/unlocking control unit 122 may unlock the door 11 when the temperature inside the casing 10 deviates from a predetermined set temperature range. This is because, when the storage apparatus 100 such as a refrigerator has a heat retaining function, the stored items in the storage apparatus 100 can be moved quickly by unlocking the door 11 in an emergency where the temperature in the storage apparatus 100 cannot be managed due to a power failure or a trouble.
After the locking/unlocking control unit 122 unlocks the door 11, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 may lock the door 11 when the door 11 is opened or closed.
The locking/unlocking control unit 122 may lock and unlock the door 11 based on the operation of the input unit 102 by the registered user. For example, when the input unit 102 receives the registered user identification information, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 may unlock the door 11. That is, when the operator is a registered user, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 can unlock the door 11. The registered user identification information for locking and unlocking the door 11 may be identification information different from the registered user identification information that can acquire or update the registered terminal identification information. In this case, it is preferable that the registered user identification information capable of acquiring or updating the registered terminal identification information has higher security strength than the registered user identification information for locking and unlocking the door 11. Further, the lock/unlock control unit 122 may unlock the door 11 when the input unit 102 receives the registered user identification information that enables acquisition or update of the registered terminal identification information.
For example, after the input unit 102 receives the registered user identification information and the locking/unlocking control unit 122 unlocks the door 11, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 may lock the door 11 when the door 11 is closed. This allows the registered user to unlock the door 11, and the registered user can lock the door 11 without performing a locking operation.
The locking/unlocking control unit 122 may set the door 11 to the locked state when the locking/unlocking control unit 122 is not energized. In addition, when the storage device 100 includes a rechargeable battery (not shown) and the storage device 100 cannot be supplied with power from a power source, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 may supply power from the rechargeable battery to lock the door 11. Accordingly, for example, when the receptacle of the storage device 100 is removed, the door 11 is locked, and thus the articles stored in the box 10 can be prevented from being stolen.
The notification unit 123 notifies the terminal device 200 of the state of the storage device 100. For example, the notification unit 123 may notify the terminal device 200 of the presence or absence of locking (or unlocking) of the door 11.
Next, a functional configuration of the apparatus 200 will be described.
Fig. 5 is a block diagram showing an example of a functional configuration of the terminal apparatus 200. The terminal device 200 includes, for example, a storage unit 201, a communication unit 202, an input unit 203, a control unit 204, and a notification unit 205.
The storage unit 201 stores information for operating the terminal device 200. The storage unit 201 stores, for example, terminal identification information. The storage unit 201 is realized by ROM or RAM, for example.
The communication unit 202 performs wireless communication with the storage apparatus 100. For example, communication unit 202 may directly communicate with terminal device 200 using Bluetooth, BLE, or the like. The communication unit 202 is implemented by, for example, a NIC.
The input unit 203 accepts user input and is implemented by a keyboard, a touch panel, buttons, and the like.
The control unit 204 controls the whole of the terminal 200. The control unit 204 is realized by a processor such as a CPU. For example, the processor reads and executes a program stored in the storage unit 201, and operates as the control unit 204.
The notification unit 205 notifies the user of information. For example, when the communication unit 202 receives information on the state of the storage apparatus 100 (for example, whether the door 11 is locked (or unlocked)) from the storage apparatus 100, the notification unit 205 notifies the user of the received information on the state of the storage apparatus 100. The notification unit 205 may be any device as long as it can notify the user of information, and the details of the notification method are not limited. For example, the notification unit 205 may notify the user of information using characters, images, sound, light, vibration, or the like.
Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the storage apparatus 100.
In step S11, the lock/unlock control unit 122 determines whether or not the intensity of the signal received by direct communication from the registered terminal device 200 is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold.
When the intensity of the signal received from the registered terminal device 200 by direct communication is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value (yes in step S11), the locking/unlocking control unit 122 unlocks the door 11 (step S12). Then, the control returns to step S11 and continues the processing.
On the other hand, when the intensity of the signal received from the terminal device 200 by the direct communication is less than the predetermined threshold value (no in step S11), the locking/unlocking control unit 122 determines whether or not the door 11 is closed (step S12).
When the door 11 is closed (yes in step S13), the locking/unlocking control unit 122 locks the door 11 (step S12). Then, the control returns to step S11 and continues the processing. On the other hand, when the door 11 is not closed (no in step S13), the lock/unlock control unit 122 waits until the door 11 is closed. For example, if the intensity of a signal received by the communication unit 101 from the registered terminal device 200 through direct communication is smaller than a predetermined threshold, the door 11 is opened. In this case, when the door 11 is closed, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 locks the door 11.
Further, for example, it is assumed that after the unlock control section 122 unlocks the door 11 and the operator of the storage device 100 opens the door 11, the intensity of a signal received by the communication section 101 from the registered terminal device 200 through direct communication is smaller than a prescribed threshold value. In this case, the operator of the storage device 100 closes the door and then locks the door 11. Thus, when the intensity of a signal received by the communication unit 101 from the registered terminal device 200 through direct communication is smaller than a predetermined threshold value, the operator of the storage device 100 closes the door 11, and the door 11 is automatically locked. Therefore, when the intensity of the signal received by the communication unit 101 from the registered terminal device 200 through direct communication is smaller than the predetermined threshold, the operator of the storage device 100 does not need to perform the locking operation of the door 11. The above flow is an example, and the present embodiment is not limited to this. For example, when the intensity of the signal received from the terminal device 200 by direct communication is smaller than a predetermined threshold value (no in step S11), the locking/unlocking control unit 122 may lock the door 11 (step S14).
[ second embodiment ]
Next, a second embodiment will be explained. The present embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the door 11 is unlocked based on an instruction from the terminal device 200. Also, the same points as those of the other embodiments will be omitted below.
The communication unit 101 communicates with the terminal apparatus 200 by direct communication and communication via a communication Network (WAN (wide Area Network), LAN (Local Area Network), or the like).
The storage unit 110 stores the conditions for locking and unlocking, which are set based on at least one of the strength of a signal received through direct communication with the terminal device 200 and an instruction from the terminal device 200. Here, the instruction from the terminal device 200 is received by the communication unit 101 via the communication network.
The locking/unlocking control unit 122 locks and unlocks the door 11 based on at least one of the strength of a signal received from the terminal device 200 by direct communication and an instruction from the registered terminal device 200. Specifically, when the communication unit 101 receives an instruction to unlock the door 11 from the registered terminal device 200, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 unlocks the door 11. In the following description, an instruction to unlock the door 11 is referred to as an unlock instruction.
Note that, when the communication unit 101 receives an instruction to lock the door 11 from the registered terminal device 200, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 may lock the door 11. In the following description, the instruction to lock the door 11 is referred to as a locking instruction. In the following description, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the door 11 is locked when the communication unit 101 does not receive an unlock instruction from the registered terminal device 200.
For example, it is assumed that the storage device 100 is a refrigerator disposed in the house of the user of the terminal device 200. When the user of the terminal device 200 goes out, a housekeeping commissioner is assumed to be present in the user's house. Here, it is assumed that the door 11 is locked when the user of the terminal device 200 goes out with the terminal device 200. Therefore, when the user of the terminal device 200 goes out, the housekeeping commissioner cannot take out the stored items (for example, foods) from the storage device 100. When the communication unit 101 receives an unlock instruction from the registered terminal device 200, the lock/unlock control unit 122 unlocks the door 11. Thus, when the user of the terminal device 200 goes out, the housekeeping staff at home can take out the items (for example, food) stored in the storage device 100.
Further, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 may lock the terminal device 200 when a predetermined time has elapsed since the unlocking when the terminal device is unlocked based on an instruction from the registered terminal device.
The locking/unlocking control unit 122 locks and unlocks the door 11 based on a condition of locking/unlocking that is set based on at least one of the strength of a signal received from the terminal device 200 by direct communication and an instruction from the terminal device 200. For example, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 may set the condition of whether or not the strength of the signal received by direct communication from the registered terminal apparatus 200 exceeds a predetermined threshold as the locking/unlocking condition.
For example, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 may set the presence or absence of an instruction (for example, an unlocking instruction or a locking instruction) from the registered terminal apparatus 200 as the condition for locking/unlocking.
For example, the lock/unlock control unit 122 may set the strength of a signal received by direct communication from the registered terminal apparatus 200 and the presence or absence of an instruction from the registered terminal apparatus 200 as the lock/unlock condition.
Further, for example, the lock/unlock control unit 122 may set the condition for obtaining the registered user identification information via the input unit 102 as the lock/unlock condition. In this case, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 may unlock (or lock) the door 11 when the registered user identification information is acquired via the input unit 102.
The lock/unlock control unit 122 may set (select) a lock/unlock condition based on a registered user operation with respect to the input unit 102. Here, the user may naturally input one or two or more lock/unlock conditions to the input unit 102. For example, the user may set (select) the lock/unlock condition using the registered terminal device 200. The registered terminal device 200 may transmit the set locking/unlocking condition to the storage device 100.
For example, when the intensity of the signal received by the communication unit 101 from the registered terminal device 200 by direct communication is smaller than a predetermined threshold, the lock/unlock control unit 122 may set the presence or absence of an instruction from the terminal device 200 as a condition for locking/unlocking.
Further, for example, when the intensity of the signal received from the terminal device 200 by the communication unit 101 through direct communication is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, the lock/unlock control unit 122 may set the presence or absence of an instruction from the terminal device 200 as a condition for locking/unlocking.
For example, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 may change the locking/unlocking condition according to the time and the time period. In this case, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 may change the conditions for locking/unlocking the door 11 when a predetermined time or time period has elapsed. For example, the time and time period for changing the locking/unlocking condition may be set by a registered user.
For example, it is assumed that the locking/unlocking control unit 122 sets the presence or absence of an instruction from the registered terminal device 200 as a condition for locking/unlocking from 9 pm to 6 am. In this case, from 9 pm to 6 am, even if the communication unit 101 receives a signal having an intensity equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value from the registered terminal device 200 by direct communication, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 maintains the state in which the door 11 is locked until receiving an unlocking instruction from the registered terminal device 200.
The locking/unlocking control unit 122 may control the locking/unlocking unit 105 to maintain the unlocked state (or the locked state). For example, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 may control the locking/unlocking unit 105 as follows: the unlocked state (or the locked state) is maintained based on at least one of an operation by the registered user and an instruction from the registered terminal apparatus 200.
The notification unit 123 notifies the registered terminal device 200 of a change in the opening/closing state of the door 11 (at least one of the door 11 being opened and the door 11 being closed). For example, the notification unit 123 may notify the terminal device 200 of the success or failure of the locking or unlocking of the door 11. When the door 11 is opened for a predetermined time, the notification unit 123 may notify the terminal device 200 that the door 11 is opened. The above-described conditions for locking and unlocking are merely examples, and the conditions for locking and unlocking are not limited to the above-described conditions.
Fig. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the storage apparatus 100. In the following description, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the door 11 is locked when the storage apparatus 100 and the terminal apparatus 200 cannot directly communicate with each other and the communication unit 101 does not receive an unlock instruction from the registered terminal apparatus 200. In the following description, as an example, a condition of whether or not the intensity of the signal by the direct communication exceeds a predetermined threshold is taken as a condition of locking and unlocking, but this is not intended to limit the condition of locking and unlocking set in the storage apparatus 100. In the following description, it is assumed that the locking/unlocking condition can be changed at any timing based on an operation by a registered user or the like. Fig. 7 shows an example of the operation of locking and unlocking the storage apparatus 100 by the terminal apparatus 200, but this is not limited to the method of locking and unlocking the storage apparatus 100.
In step S101, the lock/unlock control unit 122 determines whether or not a lock/unlock condition is set, and the lock/unlock condition is unlocked based on the strength of the signal by direct communication. If a condition for performing locking/unlocking of the lock based on the strength of the signal by direct communication is set (yes in step S101), the process proceeds to step S102.
In step S102, the lock/unlock control unit 122 determines whether or not the intensity of the signal received from the registered terminal device 200 by direct communication is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, as in the first embodiment. When the intensity of the signal received from the registered terminal device 200 by direct communication is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value (yes in step S102), the locking/unlocking control unit 122 unlocks the door 11 (step S103). Then, the control returns to step S101 and continues the processing.
On the other hand, when the intensity of the signal received from the registered terminal device 200 by direct communication is less than the predetermined threshold value (no in step S102), the locking/unlocking control unit 122 determines whether or not the door 11 is closed (step S104).
When the door 11 is closed (yes in step S104), the locking/unlocking control unit 122 locks the door 11 (step S105). Then, the control returns to step S101 and continues the processing. On the other hand, if the door 11 is not closed (no in step S104), the locking/unlocking control unit 122 waits until the door 11 is closed.
If the condition for locking and unlocking by unlocking with the strength of the direct communication signal is not set (no in step S101), the locking/unlocking control unit 122 determines whether or not an unlocking instruction is received from the terminal device 200 (step S106). If an unlock instruction is not received from the terminal device 200 (no in step S106), the control returns to step S101 to continue the process. On the other hand, when receiving an unlock instruction from the terminal device 200 (yes in step S106), the lock/unlock control unit 122 unlocks the door 11 (step S107). Then, the control returns to step S101 and continues the processing. When the lock/unlock control unit 122 unlocks the door 11 based on the unlock instruction from the registered terminal device 200, the notification unit 123 may notify the terminal device 200 that is the source of the unlock instruction that the door has been unlocked.
Further, when the locking/unlocking control unit 122 unlocks the door 11 based on the unlocking instruction from the terminal device 200, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 may lock the door 11 when the door 11 is closed after the door 11 is opened. In this case, if the locking/unlocking control unit 122 locks the door 11, the control returns to step S101 and continues the process. For example, when the locking/unlocking control unit 122 unlocks the door 11 based on the unlocking instruction from the registered terminal device 200 and then locks the door 11, the notification unit 123 may notify the terminal device 200 that is the source of the unlocking instruction of the locking.
The above-described flow is an example, and the present embodiment is not limited to this. For example, it is assumed that the lock/unlock control unit 122 sets the strength of a signal received by direct communication from the registered terminal apparatus 200 and the presence or absence of an instruction from the registered terminal apparatus 200 as the conditions for lock/unlock. In this case, for example, when the intensity of the signal received by direct communication from the registered terminal device 200 is smaller than a predetermined threshold value, the locking/unlocking control unit 122 may unlock the door 11 based on an instruction from the registered terminal device 200. According to the present embodiment, the user of the registered terminal apparatus 200 can perform the operation of unlocking the storage apparatus 100 from, for example, a remote location using the registered terminal apparatus 200. Further, according to the present embodiment, the registered user can change the locking/unlocking condition based on the operation of the registered terminal apparatus 200 or the operation of the input unit 102.
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and may be replaced with a configuration having substantially the same configuration, a configuration achieving the same operational effects, or a configuration achieving the same object as those described in the above-described embodiments.
