Identification with RFID asset locator for entry authorization
First Claim
1. A system for controlling access at secure facilities to locations and assets contained in those locations, comprising;
- a location at a secure facility and having an access door controlled by a lock mechanism;
at least one asset contained in said location, said asset having an asset RFID tag mounted thereon;
a biometric identification device positioned for access by a person, said biometric device being adapted to read at least one biometric feature of a person;
a personal RFID tag adapted to interact with said biometric device and transmit readings from said biometric device;
an RFID receiver for receiving and transmitting signals based on signals from any RFID tag in said system; and
a database for processing information from said RFID receiver to allow or deny access to the locations and assets.

Abstract
A system for controlling access at secure facilities to locations and assets contained in those locations, comprising a biometric identification device, an RFID tag and receiver, and a database for processing information from them to allow or deny access to the locations and assets. The system ties into an existing network in the facility and also includes a programming device for evaluation of the biometric template and acknowledgement of the identification, if made. The system also controls the permissible locations of assets such as laptops, desktop computers, photographic equipment, weapons such as rifles, data storage devices and the like, such that while a person may have access to a location, use of an asset or removal of the asset may not be part of that person'"'"'s authorized conduct.

8. A system for controlling access at secure facilities to locations and assets contained in those locations, comprising;
-
a location at a secure facility and having an access door controlled by a lock mechanism;
at least one asset contained in said location, said asset having an asset RFID tag mounted thereon;
means for making a biometric identification positioned for access by a person, said biometric device being adapted to read at least one biometric feature of a person;
a personal RFID tag adapted to interact with said biometric device and transmit readings from said biometric device;
RFID receiver means for receiving and transmitting signals based on signals from any RFID tag in said system; and

15. A system for controlling access at secure facilities to locations and assets contained in those locations, comprising;
-
a location at a secure facility and having an access door controlled by a lock mechanism;
at least one asset contained in said location, said asset having an asset RFID tag mounted thereon;
a biometric identification device positioned for access by a person, said biometric device being adapted to read at least one biometric feature of a person selected from the group consisting of iris, retina, fingerprint, tissue hydration, optical patent length differences, DNA, and skin oil;
a personal RFID tag adapted to interact with said biometric device and transmit readings from said biometric device;
an RFID receiver for receiving and transmitting signals based on signals from any RFID tag in said system;
a programmable device adapted to process said RFID receiver signals, said programmable device including a comparator for comparing biometric data from said RFID signal with a biometric data base, said comparator determining the existence or absence of an approved identification from an access database in said database, and providing a signal upon determining an approved identification, said signal being adapted to selectively contact said locking mechanism to permit entry into said location and to permit access to said at least one asset via said asset RFID tag; and
a database for processing information from said RFID receiver to allow or deny access to the locations and assets. - View Dependent Claims (16)
