In a digital key system, each of a digital key and a digital lock include two terminals and an electric circuit to superimpose and separate a high-frequency signal and a DC current. A microcomputer is operated by DC current supplied from a battery of the digital key through the electric circuit when the digital key is connected to the digital lock, thereby causing an NFC unit to perform communication by the high-frequency signal with the digital key through the electric circuit, read unlocking authority information from a non-contact memory, and authenticate the read unlocking authority information.
A key management box includes a card reader configured to read ID for personal authentication, a data writing unit to write information on at least the ID read by the card reader in an electronic key, a data erasing unit configured to communication with the electronic key and disable the electronic key when the electronic key is determined to be a key on-lending, and a control substrate configured to determine that a lending mode is established when the card reader reads the ID and cause an electronic lock to permit opening/closing of a door and then activate the data writing unit, or configured to cause the electronic lock to permit opening/closing of the door when the data erasing unit determines that the electronic key is a key on-lending through communication with the electronic key while the card reader does not read ID.

In a key management box for centrally managing keys used to unlock the locks of a plurality of storage cabinets and comprising a key lock means for making impossible to take out the key, and electronic ID storage section performing personal authentication, and a controller for unlocking the key lock means for a key permitted for a personally authenticated user, the key is an electronic key with an IC tag, the IC tag stores the ID data of a user and data for specifying a storage cabinet permitted for the user to unlock out of a plurality of storage cabinets, and the key management box has a means for reading out the ID data of the IC tag, and a means for unlocking a lock means for a key having the ID data of the user when the electronic key ID storage section identifies a specific user. Consequently, the storage cabinets of the plurality of storage cabinets can be opened/close using one same key.
Provided is an electronic key which makes it possible to easily check whether data is read out from a contact-type IC chip with high reliability in security. An electronic key (1) is provided with a contact-type IC chip (13), which is connected to first and second terminal members (11, 2) in series, and data in the contact-type IC chip (13) is read out by a current flowing between the first and second terminal members (11, 2). The electronic key has an LED (9), which is arranged in parallel to the contact-type IC chip (13) and is lighted by using the current that flows between the first and second terminal members (11, 2) when the first and second terminal members (11, 2) are brought into contact with IC chip data reading means (14, 15). The LED (9) is lighted to notify that the data is read out from the contact-type IC chip (13).
A key attached storage (52) for the reduction of restrictions on the validation and invalidation of the electronic key to improve security and convenience. The key attached storage (52) is provided with an electronic key (1) having an electronic key ID memory means (25) that stores electronic key ID, a storage box (52) that stores an item to be kept, an opening and closing permission means (20) that permits opening and closing of storage boxes (52A, 52B, 52C, 52C), and an opening and closing control means (40) that, when it reads out the electronic key ID and authenticates the right, makes the opening and closing permission means (20) permit opening and closing of the storage boxes (52A, 52B, 52C, 52C). The electronic key (1) checks individual identification information input by one or more buttons (7, 8a, 8b) arranged at the electronic key (1) with specific individual identification information registered at an individual identification information memory means arranged at the electronic key (1). If the input individual identification information is consistent with the registered individual identification information, the key attached storage (52) validates the electronic key (1). If the input individual identification information is inconsistent with the registered individual identification information, the key attached storage (52) invalidates the key (1).
In a key management box (30) for centrally managing keys used to unlock the locks of a plurality of safekeeping compartments and comprising a key lock means (41) for making impossible to take out the key, an electronic ID storage section (47) performing personal authentication, and a controller (44) for unlocking the key lock means (41) of a key permitted to a personally authenticated user, the key is an electronic key (1) with an IC tag, the IC tag stores the ID data of a user and data for specifying a safekeeping compartment which the user is permitted to unlock out of a plurality of safekeeping compartments, and the key management box (30) has a means (42) for reading out the ID data of the IC tag (S13; Yes), and a means (S14) for unlocking a locking means (41) of a key having the ID data of the user when the electronic key ID storage section (47) recognizes a specific user. Consequently, the storing boxes of the plurality of safekeeping compartments can be opened/closed using one same key.
