RFID Permit Interactive Authorization via Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current access control systems face issues with unauthorized use of permits and slow access speeds, particularly in vehicle access control systems, where RFID technology does not adequately prevent unauthorized access and requires vehicles to stop at specific zones, leading to inefficiencies and safety concerns.
Innovation Solution
An interactively authorizing access control method that allows authorized individuals to set time intervals for permit effectiveness, using RFID or magnetic strip permits, and sends instant messages for status updates via communication devices like mobile phones or web browsers to ensure only authorized access during valid times, thereby enhancing safety and reliability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If RFID technology is used for automatic permit identification, then access speed is improved and labor cost is reduced, but unauthorized use of permits cannot be prevented
Solution Approach 1:
The system sends an alarm signal to a mobile device when a permit is detected, requiring the authorized user to confirm the access action. This feedback mechanism ensures that even if a permit is stolen or used by an unauthorized person, the system can prevent unauthorized access by requiring real-time confirmation from the legitimate user, thus resolving the contradiction between fast automatic identification and prevention of unauthorized use.
2Reliability
If strict examination of vehicles is performed to prevent theft risks, then safety is improved, but access speed decreases and vehicles are delayed
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs partial examination by using automatic RFID identification for most vehicles, and only requires additional confirmation actions when an alarm is triggered. This selective approach maintains high access speed for normal cases while providing enhanced security checks when needed, resolving the contradiction between safety and access speed.
3Ease of operation
If permits are made easily copyable for convenience, then ease of operation is improved, but risks of vehicle theft increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system maintains the convenience of RFID permits while mitigating theft risks by implementing a feedback mechanism where the authorized user receives an alarm signal and must confirm the access action on their mobile device. This ensures that even if a permit is copied or stolen, unauthorized use can be prevented through real-time user confirmation.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This solution prevents unauthorized use by ensuring permits are only valid during set time intervals, reducing false alarms and improving access speed by allowing real-time updates and decisions, thus enhancing safety and reliability in access control systems.
Implementation Method 1
In recent years, permits integrated with radio frequency identification (RFID) technology have been developed for vehicle access controlling.

AI summary
An interactively authorizing access control method applicable to an access control center is disclosed. According to the present invention, an effective time interval can be set for the permit by an authorized person of the object according to his/her usual pass time such that when the access control center identifies the permit is valid, the effectiveness of the permit can be further determined according to the effective time interval set by the authorized person, thereby determining whether the object is allowed to pass.
