Electronic proximity security system
First Claim
1. An energy conserving system for controlling access to a securable area comprising:
- a. a transmitter for remotely transmitting a signal;
b. a receiver for receiving the remotely transmitted signal, the receiver including an active state and an inactive state;
c. a logic circuit including an active state and an inactive state and in communication with the receiver;
d. an energy storing device in communication with the logic circuit; and
e. a locking mechanism in communication with the energy storing device;
wherein when the receiver receives the signal from the transmitter, the locking mechanism selectively allows access to the securable area.

Abstract
A system for controlling access to a securable area. The system includes a transmitter, a receiver, a logic circuit, an energy storing device, and a locking mechanism. The transmitter remotely transmits a signal that is selectively received by the receiver. The receiver includes an active and an inactive state. The logic circuit is in communication with the receiver and includes an active and an inactive state. The logic circuit is in communication with the energy storing device, which is in communication with the locking mechanism. When the receiver receives the signal from the transmitter, the locking mechanism selectively allows access to the securable area.

22. A method of securing and unsecuring an access member comprising:
-
a. transmitting a signal from a transmitter to a securing mechanism, wherein the signal provides the securing mechanism with energy, places the securing mechanism into an active state, and provides a security code to the securing mechanism;
b. using at least a portion of the energy provided by the signal to evaluate the security code;
c. comparing the security code to an access code stored by the securing mechanism;
d. determining whether the security code matches the access code; and
e. unsecuring of the access member with the securing mechanism when the security code matches the access code. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)
