Abstract
A method of access control to a secure area that comprises obtaining a first biometric reading at a first station from a person seeking to access the secure area; recording the first biometric reading on a card as biometric data; returning the card having biometric data to the person; providing a means for reading the biometric reading at a second station located at the secure area; obtaining a second biometric reading from the person; and comparing the biometric data on the card with the second biometric reading to ensure that the person giving the second biometric reading is the same person giving the first biometric reading.

34. A module for an automatic access control to a transport vehicle, comprising:
-
reading means for automatically reading data recorded on an access card, the reading means reading biometric data recorded on the access card in the form of text;
a sensor for sampling biometric data on a person; and
comparison means for automatically comparing biometric data on the card with data recorded by the sensor, the comparison means capable of indicating that data on the access card and data provided by the sensor belong to a same person.

35. An access control assembly for permitting access to a secure area, comprising:
-
writing means for writing data onto a card controlling access to the secure area at a first site, and reading means for automatically reading the card at a second site, the writing means including a first sensor for sampling biometric data on a person, and the reading means including automatic means for reading biometric data written on the cards;
a second sensor for sampling biometric data from a person; and
comparison means for making an automatic comparison between the biometric data read on the card and the data read by the sensor, the comparison means capable of indicating if the data on the card and the data on the sensor belong to the same person. - View Dependent Claims (36)
