Abstract
A system is disclosed for providing secure access to a controlled item, the system comprising a database of biometric signatures, a transmitter subsystem comprising a biometric sensor for receiving a biometric signal, means for matching the biometric signal against members of the database of biometric signatures to thereby output an accessibility attribute, and means for emitting a secure access signal conveying information dependent upon said accessibility attribute, wherein the secure access signal comprises one of at least a rolling code, an encrypted Bluetooth™ protocol, and a WiFi™ protocol, and a receiver sub-system comprising means for receiving the transmitted secure access signal and means for providing conditional access to the controlled item dependent upon said information.

A system for providing secure access to a controlled item, the system comprising:
- a memory comprising a database of biometric signatures;
- a transmitter sub-system comprising:
- a biometric sensor configured to receive a biometric signal;
- a transmitter sub-system controller configured to match the biometric signal against members of the database of biometric signatures to thereby output an accessibility attribute;
- and
- a transmitter configured to emit a secure access signal conveying information dependent upon said accessibility attribute;
- and
- a receiver sub-system comprising:
- a receiver sub-system controller configured to:
- receive the transmitted secure access signal;
- and
- provide conditional access to the controlled item dependent upon said information;
- wherein the transmitter sub-system controller is further configured to:
- receive a series of entries of the biometric signal, said series being characterised according to a number of said entries;
- map said series into an instruction;
- and
- populate the data base according to the instruction, wherein the controlled item is one of:
- a locking mechanism of a physical access structure or an electronic lock on an electronic computing device.
A transmitter sub-system for operating in a system for providing secure access to a controlled item, wherein the transmitter sub-system comprises:
