Distributed access control system
First Claim
1. A system for determining whether to allow at least one token to pass through at least one control point, said system comprising:
- a plurality of distributed components, each of the distributed components being associated with a given control point and operative;
to store at least a subset of data associated with each token which may be allowed to pass through the control point; and
to determine whether to allow a given token, which may be allowed to pass through the control point, to pass through the control point based at least in part on at least a portion of the data stored by the distributed components; and
a master server operative to determine the subset of data associated with each token to be stored on each of the distributed components associated with a control point through which the token may be allowed to pass;
wherein, for a given token, at least one member of at least a primary subset of the distributed components associated with at least one control point through which the given token may be allowed to pass stores a different subset of the data associated with that token than at least one member of at least a secondary subset of the distributed components associated with at least one control point through which the given token may be allowed to pass.

Abstract
An entrance and exit management system for controlling the entrance and exit at a plurality of management points according to the present invention includes a server connected to a network and managing right information generated from a request for a certain service, a ranking device for generating ranking with respect to the right information and generating sub-right information in response to the ranking, further included is an inquiry information device being responsive to the right information, local servers being connected to the server through the network and placed at the management points, the local server being allowed to make mutual transmissions, and entrance and exit managing means for reading information related to the right information. The means for managing entrance and exit being connected to the local server. Ranking is determined with respect to the relation between the local server and the right information. The server transmits to local servers the sub-right information and the inquiry information having the relation to the ranking of the local servers.

9. A method for determining whether to allow at least one token to pass through at least one control point, said method comprising the steps of:
-
for each control point through which a given token may be allowed to pass, determining a subset of data associated with each token which may be allowed to pass through the control point to be stored on at least one of a plurality of distributed components associated with at least the control point; and determining whether to allow the given token which may be allowed to pass through the control point based at least in part on at least a portion of the data stored by the at least one distributed component associated with the control point; wherein, for the given token, members of at least a primary subset of the distributed components associated with at least one control point through the which the given token may be allowed to pass stores a different subset of the data associated with that token than members of at least a secondary subset of the distributed components associated with at least one control point through which the given token may be allowed to pass. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. An article of manufacture for determining whether to allow at least one token to pass through at least one control point, comprising a non-transitory machine readable storage medium containing one or more programs which when executed implement the steps of:
-
for each control point through which a given token may be allowed to pass, determining a subset of data associated with each token which may be allowed to pass through the control point to be stored on at least one of a plurality of distributed components associated with at least the control point; and determining whether to allow the given token which may be allowed to pass through the control point based at least in part on at least a portion of the data stored by the at least one distributed component associated with the control point; wherein, for the given token, members of at least a primary subset of the distributed components associated with at least one control point through the which the given token may be allowed to pass stores a different subset of the data associated with that token than members of at least a secondary subset of the distributed components associated with at least one control point through which the given token may be allowed to pass. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
