Abstract

A method for controlling a gate using an AIE system is disclosed herein. The method can comprise receiving identification data from an identification card using an identification card reader mounted to a first surface of an enclosure and receiving biometric data from a biometric data reader mounted to a first surface of an enclosure. The method can further comprise searching for a profile within a memory that comprises an identification data and biometric data, as well as wirelessly sending an instruction to open a gate, if the profile is authorized.

Claims

1. A method for controlling a gate using an automated instalation entry (AIE) system comprising

receiving identification data from an identification card using an identification card reader mounted to a first surface of an enclosure;

receiving biometric data from a biometric data reader mounted to a first surface of an enclosure;

searching for a profile within a memory that comprises said identification data and said biometric data; and

granting access to a facility controlled by a gate, by wirelessly sending an instruction to open said gate, if said profile is authorized.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein wirelessly sending an instruction comprises sending said instruction over WIFI.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein wirelessly sending an instruction comprises sending said instruction over radio communications.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein said identification card is a civilian identification card.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein said identification card is a military identification card.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein said identity information includes a name and a date of birth.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein said reader reads a contactless smartcard on said identification card.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein said reader reads a magnetic strip on said identification card.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein said biometric data comprises fingerprint data.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein said fingerprint data comprises two fingerprints.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein said fingerprint data comprises three fingerprints.

12. The method of claim 1 further comprising capturing an image of an entrant with a camera before entry.

13. The method of claim 12 further comprising capturing an image of a license plate with a second camera before entry.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein said second camera is mounted within a second surface of said enclosure.

15. The method of claim 1 further comprising capturing an image of a license plate with a camera before entry.

17. A computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, wherein the computer readable program code is adapted to be executed to implement the method of claim 1.

16. The method of calim 15, wherein granting access triggers capturing said image.
