1. A permissions-based alarm system for use in a limited-access environment comprising:
- an identification device associated with a first permission setting related to a first area of the limited-access environment next to a second area;
a supplemental device associated with supplemental device information; and
a detection system capable of detecting the identification device and the supplemental device, the detection system;
detecting the identification device in the first area;
determining that the first permission setting associated with the identification device indicates that access to the first area or the second area should be allowed only if the identification device is accompanied by the supplemental device associated with the supplemental device information;
monitoring the first area for the supplemental device associated with the supplemental device information; and
detecting that the identification device enters the first area without being accompanied by the supplemental device associated with the supplemental device information, andin response to the detecting that the identification device enters the first area without detecting the supplemental device, transmitting an alert.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a permissions-based alarm system for use in climbing environment. The permissions-based alarm system includes an identification device storing a permission setting relating to an aspect of the climbing environment and a detection module in communication with the identification device. The detection module detects the permission setting stored on the identification device and detects proximity of the identification device to an area restricted by the permission setting. When the identification device enters the restricted area of the climbing environment, an alert is provided.

9. A permissions-based access method for use in a limited-access environment comprising:
-
detecting an identification device worn by a user in proximity to an area of the limited-access environment; determining that a first permission setting is associated with the identification device and that the first permission setting requires a predetermined proximity between the identification device and a supplemental device storing first supplemental device information when the user is in proximity to the area; monitoring for a supplemental device storing the first supplemental device information; and transmitting an alert signal in response to detecting that the identification device is in the area without the supplemental device storing the first supplemental device information being within the predetermined proximity. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A permissions-based alarm system comprising:
-
an identification device storing a permission setting; a supplemental device storing equipment identification information; and a plurality of limited-access zones, each zone further including; a detection system capable of detecting the identification device and the supplemental device, the detection system including; an antenna that can obtain the permission setting stored on the identification device and equipment information stored on the supplemental device when the identification device and the supplemental device are within the zone or a proximity of the zone; a device reader receiving the permission setting and the equipment information from the antenna; and an alarm module providing a signal if the identification device enters the zone without concurrently detecting the supplemental device, providing the signal being determined based on the permission setting. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
