1. A method for operating a system for controlled access to multiple destinations by persons or goods wherein identification transmitters emit response signals to associated recognition devices and each recognition device emits a control signal in response to recognizing one of the response signals, the method comprising the steps of:

  • a) storing a user profile including access information for a user to a predetermined one of multiple destinations, the user being a person or goods;

    b) providing an identification transmitter associated with the user profile and transmitting a response signal from the identification transmitter to a recognition device, the response signal identifying the user;

    c) generating a control signal according to a control protocol from the recognition device upon recognizing the response signal, the control protocol being one of a plurality of different predetermined control protocols;

    d) converting the control signal into a standard protocol and generating a secondary control signal from the control device based upon access information in the stored user profile upon recognizing the standard protocol control signal; and

    e) controlling the system in response to the secondary control signal to provide access for the user to the predetermined one destination, said steps c) through e) being performed without action by the user.
