IDENTITY VERIFICATION BADGE AND METHOD FOR UTILIZING SAME IN A SECURITY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An identity verification badge comprising:
- a sensor determining and outputting a status of said badge;
a keypad assembly, comprising;
a faceplate including a plurality of data entry keys, said keys allowing for entry of at least one of a numeral value;
a processor in communication with said sensor, said keypad and a memory, said memory including an identification code of said badge and a personal identification number associated with a user;
said processor;
receiving an input value comprising at least one value from said keypad;
determining whether said receiving input is comparable to said personal identification number;
retaining an indication of matching said personal identification number;
a transmitter/receiver in communication with said processor to output an access signal comprising at least said badge identification code when said received input is comparable to said personal identification number and said sensor output is in a first state.

Abstract
An identification and verification security badge is disclosed. The badge includes a keypad that allows the entry of user information that is monitored and verified by a processor within the badge. The processor compares an inputted personal identification number with one that is stored within a memory within the badge. When a match is found, an access code is transmitted that includes at least a badge identification code that uniquely identifies the badge. The badge also includes an on-body sensor that determines the status of the badge with respect to a user. When the sensor determines that the badge is not in close proximately to the user, then transmission from the badge is inhibited. In another aspect, when a transition from one state of the badge sensor to another state is determined, the personal identification number is required to be entered.

14. A system for managing a logon security protocol to a computer system transmitting a discovery signal, said system, comprising:
-
an on-body sensor providing an indication of a status of said badge; an identification badge including; a keypad providing at least one numerical input value; a transmitter/receiver; a processor in communication with a memory, said transmitter and said on-body sensor, said processor; receiving said badge status indication; receiving said at least one numerical input value; comparing said at least one numerical input value with a personal identification number stored in said memory; determining an access code comprising at least a code that unique identifies said identification badge, which said at least one numerical input value matches said personal identification number; and providing said access code to said transmitter/receiver for transmitting said access code when said badge status indication is in a first state. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A method for managing a validation badge logon security protocol comprising:
-
receiving a status indication of an on-body sensor; receiving a numerical input value; comparing said numerical input value with a prestored identification value, said identification value uniquely identifying a user; transmitting at least a value that uniquely identifies said validation badge when said numerical input value is comparable to said prestored identification value and said status is in a first state. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
