Method for controlling a gate using an automated installation entrance (AIE) system
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.
1. A method for controlling a gate using an automated installation entry (ATE) system comprising:
receiving identification information identifying an entrant from an identification card associated with said entrant using an identification card reader mounted to a first surface of an enclosure;
receiving biometric data from a biometric data reader mounted to the first surface of said enclosure;
searching for a profile within a memory that comprises said identification information and said biometric data;
granting access to a facility controlled by a gate, by wirelessly sending an instruction to open said gate, if said profile indicates that said entrant is authorized, wherein said authorization is based at least in part on a previously performed background check; and
capturing an image of a license plate with a camera before entry, wherein granting access triggers capturing said image.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein wirelessly sending an instruction comprises sending said instruction over WIFI.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein wirelessly sending an instruction comprises sending said instruction over radio communications.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said identification card is a civilian identification card.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said identification card is a military identification card.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said identification information comprises a name and a date of birth.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said identification card reader reads a contactless smartcard on said identification card.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein said identification card reader reads a magnetic strip on said identification card.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein said biometric data comprises fingerprint data.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein said fingerprint data comprises two fingerprints.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein said fingerprint data comprises three fingerprints.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein said camera is a second camera, the method further comprising capturing an image of an entrant with a first camera before entry.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein said second camera is mounted within a second surface of said enclosure.
14. A non-transitory tangible computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, wherein the computer readable program code is adapted to be executed to implement the method of claim 1 .
