Abstract
An electronic card access system, for example, for managing access control of a venue or facility, and an access card for use with the card access system
Claims9
A card access system for managing access control, comprising:
- a preprinted card, comprising:
- an electronic component having a unique identifier (UID);
- printed repeating indicia on one or both sides of the card;
- a variable machine readable indicia containing the UID;
- and
- a signature zone
- a validation device, comprising:
- a transporter configured for moving the card;
- an electronic UID reader configured to read the electronic UID;
- an indicia reader configured to read the machine readable indicia UID a comparator configured for reading the UID from the electronic component to the machine readable indicia UID;
- a communication device configured to communicate the UID, along with a user identity and access rights to a database;
- and
- a card reader configured to read the UID and/or the machine readable indicia at various controlled access points throughout the property,
- wherein access is determined by interpreting the database for each UID.
