An access control proximity card, comprising an actuation sensor and an access electronics system connected to the actuation sensor, the access electronics system configured to activate the proximity card in response to an input from the actuation sensor to enable communication of the access information from the proximity card.
A method of providing access control, comprising:
- providing a card reader responsive to access information contained on a proximity card;
- and
- activating the proximity card in response to an input from an actuation sensor coupled to the proximity card to enable communication of the access information from the proximity card.
An access control proximity card system, comprising:
- a proximity card reader responsive to access information contained on a proximity card, the proximity card including:
- an actuation sensor coupled to an external surface of the proximity card;
- and
- an access electronics system connected to the actuation sensor, the access electronics system configured to activate the proximity card in response to an input from the actuation sensor to enable communication of the access information from the proximity card.
