Wireless AIE Gate Control System Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing Automated Installation Entrance (AIE) systems for secured facilities face inefficiencies due to the complexity and cost of installing separate devices for identification and biometric checks, often requiring structural modifications and manual processes, which are time-consuming and inconvenient, especially in high-traffic areas like military installations.
Innovation Solution
An AIE system that integrates identification card readers and biometric scanners with a wireless communication network to validate entrant profiles and automatically control gates, using a computer-readable storage medium with program code to implement the method, allowing for efficient and secure pass control without the need for extensive structural modifications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual checks and body searches are implemented for every individual entering a facility, then security is improved, but time consumption and inefficiency increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical security checks with an automated electronic system that uses RFID readers, biometric scanners, and computer-based profile validation to automatically verify visitor credentials and grant access, eliminating the need for manual inspection while maintaining security
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service access control where visitors independently present their identification cards and biometric data for automatic validation by the electronic system, which then autonomously determines access authorization without requiring security personnel intervention
2Adaptability or versatility
If cameras, gate controls, biometric readers, and vehicle detection systems are installed independently or connected over wired networks, then system functionality is improved, but installation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple security functions (RFID reading, biometric scanning, profile validation, and gate control) into a single unified AIE system that processes all functions through one installation, eliminating the need for separate independent installations of each component
Solution Approach 2:
The AIE system is designed as a multi-functional integrated platform that can handle various security tasks (identification verification, biometric matching, access control) through a single system architecture, reducing installation complexity while maintaining comprehensive functionality
3Ease of manufacture
If structural modifications such as running conduit and electrical lines under a road are made, then system installation is achieved, but construction time and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the security system components from traditional wired installations and implements them as wireless or surface-mounted devices that can be installed without cutting into roads or building structures, eliminating the need for invasive construction work
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses wireless communication technology as an intermediary to transmit data and control signals between components without requiring physical conduit or electrical wiring through structures, enabling installation without structural modifications
Data Source
AI summary
A method for controlling a gate using an AIE system is disclosed herein. The method can comprise receiving identification data from an identification card using an identification card reader mounted to a first surface of an enclosure and receiving biometric data from a biometric data reader mounted to a first surface of an enclosure. The method can further comprise searching for a profile within a memory that comprises an identification data and biometric data, as well as wirelessly sending an instruction to open a gate, if the profile is authorized.
