Abstract

A method of controlling movement on the inside and around the outside of a facility, which includes providing each person within the facility with a transmitter which emits a unique personality profile, embedded in the unique personality profile is an access level for that person selected from multiple access levels. Another step involves providing each security door with a lock, a receiver and a controller. The receiver receives the unique personality profile from the transmitter. The controller reviews the access level and unlocks the lock to the security door to permit access only when the unique personality profile has an appropriate access level.

Claims

1. A method of controlling movement on the inside and around the outside of a facility, comprising the steps of:

providing each person within the facility with a transmitter which emits a unique personality profile, embedded in the unique personality profile is an access level for that person selected from multiple access levels;

providing each security door with a lock, a receiver and a controller, the receiver receiving the unique access personality profile from the transmitter, the controller reviewing the access level and unlocking the lock to the security door to permit access only when the unique personality profile has an appropriate access level.

2. The method as defined in claim 1, the transmitter being secured to the person with a tamper-resistant band.

3. The method as defined in claim 2, the controller initiating an alarm condition when the tamper-resistant band is removed.

4. The method as defined in claim 1, the controller initiating an alarm when the unique personality profile of a person passing through the security door is not at the appropriate access level.

5. The method as defined in claim 1, the controller monitoring a perimeter loop, which includes at least one of the security doors.

6. The method as defined in claim 1, when the unique personality profile of the person is not at the appropriate access level, the controller permitting such person access when accompanied by an accompanying person with a unique personality profile that is at the appropriate access level.

7. The method as defined in claim 1, when there are some variable access security doors which are accessible to some access levels only when weather conditions are appropriate, the controller receiving weather monitoring input and granting access to persons with such access levels only when weather conditions are appropriate.

8. The method as defined in claim 4, the transmitter including a global positioning module system which remains dormant until activated by an alarm condition.
