Provided is an authentication terminal for appropriately protecting the privacy of a visitor. The authentication terminal is provided with an acquisition unit, an authentication request unit, and an output unit. The acquisition unit acquires the biometric information of a user. The authentication request unit requests an authentication process using the biometric information of the user by a server device and controls the opening/closing of a gate in accordance with the authentication result acquired from the server device. The output unit outputs displayed information based on the authentication result to an aerial display with which it is possible for a person at a prescribed position to visually recognize the displayed information based on the authentication result.

A communication system includes a mobile device and an apparatus. The apparatus obtains unique data from the mobile device by using a common key while the common key is stored in the mobile device, generates a unique key by using the obtained unique data, stores the generated unique key as a service key in the apparatus, and transmits the generated unique key to the mobile device. When the mobile device receives the unique key from the apparatus while the common key is stored in the mobile device, the mobile device rewrites a service key stored in the mobile device from the common key to the unique key.

A lid device includes: a lid; a lid switch that detects displacement of the lid to each of an open position for opening an opening, a closed position for closing the opening, a push start position located further in the closing direction than the closed position, and a pushed-in position located further in the closing direction than the push start position; and a control device that determines a lid switch status based on a detection result of the lid switch and controls an indicator to display the lid switch status. The control device determines that the lid switch status is in an open state when the lid switch detects displacement of the lid to the open position or the push start position and determines that the lid switch status is in a closed state when the lid switch detects displacement of the lid to the closed position or pushed-in position.

A device for preventing unwanted opening of a locked enclosure includes a lock bolt moveable between a locked position and an unlocked position. A face gear is meshable with and rotatable by the worm gear between locking and unlocking positions when the worm gear is driven in the first and second directions, respectively. A blocker member is rotatable between first and second positions. A biasing member is operatively coupled to the face gear and the blocker member to bias the blocker member in a biasing direction. A sliding member selectively disengages the blocker member to allow the blocker member to rotate in the biasing direction. A lever arm is operatively coupled to the sliding member such that the lever arm is in the disengaged and engageable positions when the sliding member engages the blocker member in the first and second positions, respectively.

An electric lock includes a housing, a keypad module and a lock assembly. The keypad module is arranged on the housing. The keypad module includes a key panel, an electrode pad, a circuit board and a spacer. The key panel is marked with a plurality of key characters. The electrode pad is arranged on an inner side of the key panel, and the electrode pad has a plurality of key electrodes corresponding to the plurality of key characters respectively. The circuit board includes a plurality of key circuits. Each of the key circuits is configured to generate a key signal when contacting a corresponding key electrode. The spacer is configured to form a gap between each of the key circuits and the corresponding key electrode. The lock assembly is electrically connected to the keypad module for performing locking and unlocking operations according to the key signal.

Provided is a gate device that accurately determines a user to be authenticated. The gate device is provided with an acquisition unit, a setting unit, and a gate control unit. The acquisition unit acquires an upper image and a lower image respectively from an upper camera and a lower camera that is installed on a vertically lower side of the upper camera. When a plurality of users are captured in both the upper image and the lower image, the setting unit identifies a user in the forward-most row among the plurality of users by calculating the distance between each of the plurality of users and a camera installation surface, and then sets the identified user as a person to be authenticated. The gate control unit controls a gate on the basis of the result of authentication of the person to be authenticated.
