Abstract

An apparatus including a user input of a security system receiving a respective identifier for each of a plurality of objects tracked within a secured area having a plurality of geographically separate spaces managed, a processor of the security system detecting entry of one of the plurality of objects into one of the plurality of spaces via an access controller associated with the space of the multiple access controllers managing the secured area, a processor of the security system determining a geographic location of the object based upon the detected entry, a processor of the security system retrieving a map of the secured area along with a track of the object through the secured area and a processor of the security system displaying the determined location of the object on the map through one of a portable handheld device, a monitoring station and other possible human machine interface devices.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

a user input of a security system receiving a respective identifier for each of a plurality of objects to be tracked within a secured area having a plurality of geographically separate spaces managed by multiple access controllers;

a processor of the security system detecting entry of one of the plurality of objects into one of the plurality of spaces via an access controller associated with the space of the multiple access controllers managing the secured area;

a processor of the security system determining a geographic location of the object based upon the detected entry;

a processor of the security system retrieving a map of the secured area along with a track of the object through the secured area; and

a processor of the security system displaying the determined location of the object on the map through one of a portable handheld device, a monitoring station and other possible human machine interface devices.

2. The method as in claim 1 further comprising dynamically tracking each of the plurality of objects and displaying a relative location of each of the plurality of objects on the map.

3. The method as in claim 1 further comprising defining at least some of the plurality of objects as human guards of the secured area.

4. The method as in claim 1 further comprising defining at least one of the objects as an unauthorized intruder.

5. A method comprising:

a user input of a security system receiving an identifier of an object to be tracked within a secured area having a plurality of geographically separate spaces where entry into each is controlled by a respective access controller;

a processor of the security system detecting entry of the identified object into one of the plurality of spaces via an access controller associated with the space;

a processor of the security system determining a geographic location of the object based upon the detected entry;

a processor of the security system retrieving a map of the secured area; and

a processor of the security system correlating the determined location with a corresponding location on the map and displaying the object on the map.

6. The method as in claim 5 further comprising a processor tracking an intruder.

7. The method as in claim 6 further comprising a display depicting a location of the intruder superimposed on the map.

8. The method as in claim 5 further comprising a user interface receiving an intended destination from a user of a card.

9. The method as in claim 8 further comprising depicting the intended destination on the map along with a path to the destination.

10. The method as in claim 5 further comprising defining the object as an asset.

11. The method as in claim 5 further comprising tracking a location of the identified object and displaying a track of the locations.

12. The method as in claim 5 wherein the identified object further comprising a plurality of objects.

13. The method as in claim 12 wherein the step of the user input receiving an identifier of the one object further comprises the user input receiving a plurality of identifiers, each associated with a respective one of the plurality of objects.

14. A system comprising:

a user input of a security system that receives an identifier of an object to be tracked within a secured area having a plurality of geographically separate spaces via respective access controllers;

a processor of the security system that detects entry of the identified object into one of the plurality of spaces via an access controller associated with the space;

a processor of the security system that determines a geographic location of the object based upon the detected entry;

a processor of the security system that retrieves a map of the secured area; and

a processor of the security system that correlates the determined location with a corresponding location on the map and displays the object on the map.

15. The apparatus as in claim 14 wherein the processor that detects entry of the identifier of the one object further comprising a processor that detects entry of identifiers of a plurality of objects.

16. The apparatus as in claim 15 further comprising a processor that tracks a plurality of objects.

17. The apparatus as in claim 16 further comprising a processor that simultaneously depicts each of the plurality of objects on the map.

18. The apparatus as in claim 17 further comprising a processor that detects an intruder.

19. The apparatus as in claim 18 further comprising a processor that detects a location of the intruder.

20. The apparatus as in claim 19 further comprising depicts the location of the plurality of objects proximate the intruder.
