Facility access system and method with disabled and user assistance
First Claim
1. A facility access system, which comprises:
- a) a system data processor with an input and an output;
b) an input subsystem connected to said system processor input;
c) an output subsystem connected to said system processor output;
d) data storage accessible by said output subsystem for providing output data associated with the facility to the output subsystem;
e) said input subsystem including a hardwired switching device and a wireless switching device;
whereby a user with a disability could operate at least one of said switching devices; and
f) a plurality of software subroutines selected by the user and accessible by said system processor and each outputting data corresponding to a respective destination associated with the facility to said output subsystem;
said data including directions to said destination; and
g) an external device associated with the facility and activated by the output subsystem in response to a user input to the input subsystem.

Abstract
A facility access system includes a system microprocessor and input and output subsystems. The input subsystem can include switching devices connected in a parallel configuration for actuating the system microprocessor in a sequencing mode of operation. Input devices are also disclosed which produce input signals corresponding to particular memory storage locations for accessing directional and other information in a look-up mode of operation. The directional and other information is output to text display, graphical display and audio output devices. A user'"'"'s computer can be linked to the system microprocessor for downloading information therefrom. An emergency subsystem provides emergency exit information, dials out to summon assistance and includes a backup power source.
