Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are described for electronic access control. An electronic access control method for identifying a person within an access region is described. An identification document may be associated with the person. The method may include sensing an identification characteristic of the person in the access region based at least in part on the identification document using an identification sensing device; transmitting the identification characteristic using the identification sensing device to a biometric sensing device; and sensing a biometric characteristic of the person using the biometric sensing device within the access region in response to receipt of the identification characteristic to identify the person.
Claims20
An electronic access control method for identifying a person within an access region, wherein an identification document is associated with the person, comprising:
- sensing an identification characteristic of the person in the access region based at least in part on the identification document using an identification sensing device;
- transmitting the identification characteristic using the identification sensing device to a biometric sensing device;
- and
- sensing a biometric characteristic of the person using the biometric sensing device within the access region in response to receipt of the identification characteristic to identify the person.
An electronic access control system for identifying a person within an access region, wherein an identification document is associated with the person, comprising:
- a biometric sensing device configured to sense a biometric characteristic of the person within the access region;
- and
- an identification sensing device configured to sense an identification characteristic of the person within the access region based at least in part on the identification document, wherein the identification sensing device is configured to transmit the identification characteristic to the biometric sensing device;
- wherein the biometric sensing device is configured to sense the biometric characteristic of the person within the access region in response to receipt of the identification characteristic to identify the person.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code for executing an electronic access control method, the code executable by a processor to:
- sense an identification characteristic of the person in the access region based at least in part on the identification document using an identification sensing device;
- transmit the identification characteristic using the identification sensing device to a biometric sensing device;
- and
- sense a biometric characteristic of the person using the biometric sensing device within the access region in response to receipt of the identification characteristic to identify the person.
