Access administration system and method for a currency compartment
First Claim
1. An access administration system for administering and controlling access to a currency compartment for currency, the system comprising:
- a system computer for receiving user information comprising an identifier and unique biological identification information representing biological information of a particular user, for storing the identifier and the unique biological identification information and for associating the identifier with the unique biological identification information;
a biological identification information reader operably connected to the system computer and located proximate the compartment for reading the biological identification information of the user; and
, a lock operably connected to the system computer for locking and unlocking the compartment, the system computer receiving and comparing the read biological identification information with the stored biological identification information for determining if a match exists, and for determining if the lock should be actuated to provide access to compartment for the user.

Abstract
An access administration system is provided for administering and controlling access to a currency compartment for currency. The system has a system computer for receiving user information comprising an identifier and unique biological identification information representing biological information of a particular user. The system stores the identifier and the unique biological identification information and associates the identifier with the unique biological identification information. The system has a biological identification information reader operably connected to the system computer and located proximate the compartment for reading the biological identification information of the user. The system further has a locking mechanism operably connected to the system computer for locking and unlocking the compartment, the system computer receiving and comparing the read biological identification information with the stored biological identification information for determining if a match exists. The system computer determines if the lock should be actuated to provide access to compartment for the user.

16. An access administration method for administering and controlling access to a currency compartment for currency, the method comprising the steps of:
-
providing a central access administration application;
providing a currency compartment access application;
transmitting and receiving requests and responses to such requests to and from the access administration application and the currency compartment access application through a plug-in interface. receiving user information comprising an identifier and unique biological identification information representing biological information of a particular user;
storing the identifier and the unique biological identification information and for associating the identifier with the unique biological identification information;
receiving biological identification information of the user from a biological identification information reader located proximate the compartment; and
, sending a unlock signal to unlock the compartment in response to receiving a request from the currency compartment access application through the plug-in interface, which assists in initiating a comparing of the read biological identification information with the stored biological identification information for determining if a match exists. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
