The present invention relates to a safe-locking / unlocking system for avoiding the danger of bringing cash such as sales to a financial institution and for providing these cash management business agency services at a low cost. Background art

In recent years, at the gasoline and other stores, with the spread of self-refueling, only one person is stationed at the gasoline stand from the viewpoint of cost reduction. Is coming. For this reason, these monitoring personnel cannot go to banks to deposit sales, and even if they go to banks for cash deposits, the security situation in recent years has deteriorated. However, there is a problem that employees may be in danger during the transfer of the cash.

Therefore, in order to solve these problems, it is conceivable to outsource the above-mentioned transportation for cash deposits to an external specialized organization, such as a security company, but in the case of cash transportation by these security companies In this case, the security company is also responsible for the increase and decrease of cash to be transported, so it is necessary for the security company to bear insurance costs and the like to compensate for these. In the case of small-scale stores such as Gasoline, it is practically impossible to outsource these services.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides a safe locking / unlocking system for enabling the above-described cash management services such as cash transport to be provided at a low cost. The purpose is. Disclosure of the invention

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the safe locking / unlocking system of the present invention has a storage unit for preventing intrusion from outside by closing the opening / closing unit, and also locks the opening / closing unit so that it cannot be released. Locking means for storing the safe terminal identification information capable of identifying at least the safe terminal, and imaging means for capturing at least an image of the unlocking operator who is about to unlock. Communication means for transmitting image information of the unlocking operator or the locking operator photographed by the imaging means to the management device together with the safe terminal identification information; and a solution returned from the management device. Control means for controlling the locking and unlocking of the locking means based on the locking permission or the locking permission, a safe terminal comprising:

An operator, which is connected to the safe terminal so as to be able to perform data communication and is identified by the image information transmitted from the safe terminal, is configured to execute the safe terminal identified by the safe terminal identification information transmitted from the safe terminal. A determination process is performed to determine whether or not the user is the authorized operator who has previously been granted the lock. And a management device for transmitting the lock permission.

According to this feature, for example, the management device is installed in a security company that provides a cash management service, and an employee of the security company operates as a license operator at each store where the safe terminal is installed. If you go out and unlock, and take cash out of the safe and transfer it to the bank, the unlocking and unlocking of the safe is centrally managed by the management device installed at the security company, Since it is difficult for personnel at the store or the like where the safe terminal is installed to arbitrarily open and close the lock and extract the cash stored inside, the security company has been Since the risk of incurring cash can be greatly reduced and the cost associated with the risk of increasing or decreasing cash can be significantly reduced, cash management services such as cash transport can be provided at low cost.

Based on the selection of the item “collection / unlock”, the microcomputer board 20 obtains the image data from the external camera 8 in the same manner as when storing the sales described above, and sends the image data to the management computer 30. On the other hand, the image data (frame feed data) from the external camera 8 together with the entered operator number and password are transmitted to the safe terminal ID assigned to the own safe terminal in advance and the unlock permission is given. Sent with request.

The management computer 30 having received the transmission, upon receiving the “unlocked”, stores the received safe terminal ID in the licensor database (DB). Then, read out the collection permission staff number (regular and substitute) registered corresponding to today, and confirm whether the operator number received at the same time matches any of the read collection permission staff numbers, When the password matches, the password registered corresponding to the operator number is read out, compared with the password received at the same time, and when the comparison matches, the password registered corresponding to the operator number is registered. By reading out the personal photo file and the name that have been entered and displaying the unlock request screen as shown in FIG. 8 on the display device 31, the operator can save the cash on the gasoline stand on that day. By comparing the photograph of the official or alternate staff who is scheduled to go to the collection with the face of the staff who actually visited the collection, the official or visiting official who was definitely scheduled to go to the collection Determines whether the staff of the substitute. If the employee is a regular or substitute employee who is supposed to go to the office without fail in the determination, the operator of the management computer 30 operates the “unlock permission” operation menu provided at the lower position of the unlock request screen. Is selected, the safe body 1 is unlocked in the same manner as when the sales are stored.

With the unlocking, the visiting staff takes out the storage bag stored in the safe body 1.
