A method for access control in an access control system for people or vehicles comprising at least one access control device. In the method the at least one access control device, using a selective modulation of the frequency, spatial modulation and/or optional temporal modulation of light emitted by a specified number of light sources, transmits information that can be received and demodulated by a mobile electronic device having a camera. The information sent by the access control device contains a unique ID of the access control device, which is used to control the access control device in accordance with data transmitted to the access control system by a mobile electronic device which receives the information transmitted.

Method and system for access control with modulated lights

A method for determining the state of access control devices and sales or payment machines of an access control system by detecting sound profiles emitted during operation by a component or component group by at least one microphone. Based upon the recorded sound profile, an acoustic identification signature is created in a server or a central computer, which identification signature is based on the frequency spectrum of the recorded sound profile and/or the temporal change thereof. The acoustic identification signature is compared with a reference identification signature(s) stored in the server and assigned to a component or a component group. In the event of the detecting an acoustic identification signature which exceeds a predetermined first threshold value, increased wear of the component or the component group is detected, while if the deviation exceeds a second threshold value, a defect of the component or the component group is defected.

A method for identification of vehicles () for operating a car park or a parking area is proposed in the course of which a vehicle () is identified at least by the sound profile emitted by the drive train of the vehicle which comprises a vehicle drive unit in the acoustic wave and/or ultrasonic range in at least one speed range.

Method for identification of vehicles for operating a car park or a parking area

A method of monitoring access authorizations by an access monitoring system by a first method, the data carriers or the mobile electronic devices, on which a valid access authorization or an ID is assigned, are detected and the carriers/devices current positions are determined by trilateration or multilateration. A second imaging method is executed, parallel to the first method, and the current position of all persons presented in the entry area is detected by cameras. All persons, with and without valid access authorization, in the entry area are detected so that an ID map and a people map are created. The ID map corresponds to people who have valid access authorization and the people map corresponds everybody in the entry area. An overlay map is created by matching the ID map with the people map, to identify persons with valid access authorization or ID and the people without valid access authorization.

Method for monitoring access authorizations by an access monitoring system

A digital camera has a 2D image sensor designed as a CCD or CMOS sensor that can be used to measure distances based on a runtime measurement in synchronization with a pulsed infrared source. The measured distances are used to carry out a 3D reconstruction of a detected object. The digital camera does not have to have an infrared cut-off filter; however, it can have an infrared cut-off filter that can be dynamically activated in full or in part or deactivated in relation to pixels of the image sensor. In the latter event, individual areas of the image sensor, for which the infrared cut-off filter is deactivated, are used for the 3D reconstruction or for images in the infrared range. The remaining areas of the sensor are used for images of high color quality in the visible light spectrum. In the event that no infrared cut-off filter is present, individual areas of the image sensor are used for the 3D reconstruction or for images in the infrared range. The remaining areas of the sensor are used for images in the visible light spectrum.

Digital camera

A method for access control wherein verification of access authorization is effected by evaluating an ID sent at regular intervals from a mobile electronic device or a data carrier nearest an access control device (), via bluetooth low energy standard as part of a 'broadcasting', to which at least one access authorization is unequivocally assigned, which is received by BLE transceiver units (TRX-TRX-TRX-TRX-) connected to a computer comprising a CPU and storage located within range of the mobile electronic device or the data carrier. Localization of the mobile electronic devices or the data carriers is carried out by evaluation of the RSSI, wherein the signal strength is measured, with which that signal of a mobile electronic device or a data carrier is received, which contains the ID of BLE transceiver units (TRX-TRX-TRX-TRX-).

Method and system for access control

In a method for operating a vehicle barrier () having a barrier column (), a barrier arm () and a drive mechanism for pivoting the barrier arm () between a blocking position and an open position, a camera () is used for vehicle recognition, for the license plate recognition, for recognizing a following vehicle and for monitoring for vandalism, and the images thereof are evaluated by an electronic evaluation logic that is coupled to control of the vehicle barrier ().

Method for operating a vehicle barrier

A method and system for providing location-based services are proposed, wherein the objective is the determination of the authorization of a person to use location-based services using non-contact detection and the evaluation of media information from a customer medium, whereby the location of the customer medium is carried out based on the detection of the medium and where the media information of the customer medium is recorded based on an automatically implementable non-contact interaction between at least one reading device assigned one location and connected to computer and the customer medium, if the customer medium is within the range least one reading device, where the customer medium comprises an RF transceiver and communicates with the computer via at least one reading device in a predetermined frequency range, where location-based services are provided cases of a valid authorization, the provision of which depends on the detection of the customer medium via at least one reading device assigned to the location, and where the customer medium is controlled by a computer via least one reading device in such a manner that the energy consumption of the customer medium is minimized.
