Abstract

Title: Access control system The invention relates to an access control system comprising: an area (1) to be controlled having at least one entry door (11) and at least one exit door (12); an entry terminal (21) capable of controlling the opening and closing of the entry door (11); an exit terminal (22) capable of controlling the opening and closing of the exit door (12); a fleet of keys (3) each carrying a unique identifier, the entry terminal (21) and the exit terminal (22) each integrating a device for recognizing the unique identifiers; a computer platform (4) connected to a database (5) listing the unique identifiers and a status code for each unique identifier; communication means between the computer platform (4) and the entry terminal (21) on the one hand and, on the other hand, between the computer platform (4) and the exit terminal (22).

Description

- assigning a status code “1” to a unique identifier associated with a status code “3” following two successive presentations of the latter to a device for recognizing an output terminal (22), if said unique identifier is presented to a device for recognizing an input terminal (21) during the restoration delay initialized during the association with a status code “3” to the unique identifier; - assigning a status code “2” to a unique identifier associated with a status code “3” following two successive presentations of the latter to a device for recognizing an input terminal (21), if said unique identifier is presented to a device for recognizing an output terminal (22) during the restoration delay initialized during the association with

Claims

a status code “3” to the unique identifier.

3. Access control system according to claim 2, characterized in that the computer platform (4) is configured to receive a re-cycle request for a unique identifier associated with a status code “3”.

4. Access control system according to claim 3, characterized in that the computer platform (4) is configured to receive, following a re-cycle request, re-cycle acceptance data for a unique identifier associated with a status code “3” and to assign to said unique identifier a status code “0”.

5. Access control system according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the database (5) comprises, for each unique identifier, a call number of a mobile computing unit, and in that the computing platform (4) is configured to issue an error notification to the mobile computing unit associated with a unique identifier whose status code is "3".

6. Access control system according to claims 2 and 5, characterized in that the error notification includes restoration procedure data and the restoration time.

7. Access control system according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that it comprises, for each of the entrance door (11) and the exit door (12), a device for returning the door to the closed position capable of closing the entrance door (11) or the exit door (12) after a predetermined opening time, and in that it comprises an anomaly sensor capable of emitting an anomaly signal to the computer platform (4) when the entrance door (11) or the exit door (12) is not in the closed position after the predetermined opening time.

8. Access control system according to claim 7, characterized in that the computer platform (4) is configured to assign to at least some of the unique identifiers the status code “0” in the event of reception of the anomaly signal.
