<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To keep the user-friendliness of a passage management system in a building intact even when a plurality of types of cards are used by users. <P>SOLUTION: Card readers 3A to 3C are disposed to read the contents of a personal card 2 such as an IC card. The card readers 3A to 3C can communicate with a plurality of types of personal cards 2 (employee identification card and commercial card). When a regular employee operates an employee identification card over the card reader 3A, for example, the memory contents are read and, if the contents are valid, an electric lock 5A of a door 4A is unlocked. When a visitor presses a "Commercial Card" button on the card reader 3A and operates a commercial card, a non-authentication area is read and, if the contents are valid, the electric lock 5A is unlocked. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
