Network accessible and controllable security system for a multiple of electronic door locks within a multi-room facility

Abstract

A security system includes a central controller which communicates with a multiple of electronic door locks within a multi-room facility. The central controller communicates with each electronic lock through a room transceiver located proximate the electronic lock. A display communicates with the room transceiver to provide messages and other services to each room. In operation, the system provides a multiple of security and key tracking services. Each electronic lock receives instruction from the central controller such as access for a particular key or cancellation of keys through the in-room transceiver. Historical key tracking allows tracking and efficiency management of staff. A single staff person can also be located by searching for the predetermined code for the desired staff person. Maintenance of each electronic lock is also simplified.
