Access control system in seamless communication with personnel management systems and the like
First Claim
1. An access control system in seamless communication with a general purpose computer, said access control system comprising:
- a main control unit telephonically in communication with entities within a building, said main control unit being mountable at an entrance to said building;
at least one code entry unit receiving access codes, each said code entry unit providing received said access codes to said main control unit; and
at least one controlled door, access through each said controlled door being provided by said main control unit in response to a correct access code entered at one said code entry unit;
whereby adding or removing access codes from said main control unit seamlessly causes said main control unit to communicate code changes to a general purpose computer and said general purpose computer makes a corresponding entry or deletion, and correspondingly, entries or deletions made in said general purpose computer are seamlessly communicated to said main control system and said main control unit makes corresponding additions or removals of access codes in said access control system.

Abstract
An access control system such as a telephone entry system (TES) capable of seamless communication with a general purpose computer. Entries made in the TES are seamlessly transferred to the general purpose computer and updated in corresponding databases stored therein. Likewise entries made in selected databases within the general purpose computer or in other types of selected files are reflected in the TES, seamlessly, and without requiring manual intervention. Thus, for example, employees may be added or removed from the factory personnel logs in the general purpose computer and, as each is entered or removed, the corresponding entry code in the TES is added or deleted.
