Description

SECURITY OBJECT CONTROL AND MONITORING EQUIPMENT AND SYSTEM

[001] The patent pending patent describes an equipment and system that has been developed to control and monitor objects under guard in storage locations such as cabinets, bins, niches, drawers or rooms, grouped together in the same place or even in different locations. and remote from each other and from the central control, which allows a complete parameterization of the ways of using these storage locations, the data related to users and guard objects, and allows the identification of users and objects by any of the identification methods. biometric or not known today and the management of the whole system when using self-service terminals.

Biometric Identification Access Control Systems have been known since 1977 under Robert B. Hill US4109237, which describes an optical iris vascular reader, which is electronically encoded and stored in a database. dt dos; On the other hand, the increased need for safe storage sites for large or small objects increases with increasing population and economic growth. In places such as public transport terminals, for example, there are storage cabinets for renting time cabinets: - cabinets, the simplest colors consisting only of small lockers; the register is handcrafted in a logbook, and the most sophisticated use lock biometric technology with a scanner that reads and records the last tenant's fingerprint pattern so you can use your fingers as key; Each cabinet group has a mechanical master key for opening in the event of a failure. This same technology is used in hospitals, clubs, saunas, companies, etc. and allows qu; A large number of people can use the equipment in a rotational manner, with the advantages of it. Somewhat more complex are control systems for access to medicines controlled in hospitals and clinics, weapons in storerooms, drugs and weapons seized under the administration of justice, coffers run by a central processor, which, though, like bank systems , health plans and access to restricted places are focused on a more accurate identification of the human being. These systems are based on a database and a processor that compares each reading with the stored data, validating it or not. Some of these systems accumulate occurrences and generate management reports, such as that described in patent application PI 0703103-3 of my own and in production, although it has not been revealed how and how information and data are accumulated and processed, nor the mechanisms that enable monitoring of each storage location; This patent application still lacks the technological advances in biometrics around the world, and especially the results of my own research and development since the date of filing.

[003] A large number of patents and applications describing access control mechanisms and systems are found, primarily in the United States patent database; Application 20060139149-A1 describes a control and monitoring system for cabinets revealing a flowchart without, however, including individualized occupancy, tampering and open door sensors at each storage location and not having a debit and charge generation system for self-service terminals; US8207816 (B2) deals with access control and release of weapons in biometric identification weapons depots and provides for the ► registration of authorized users in a database; U.S. Patent 7030751 B2 discloses a process for the safe operation of a system for the protection of persons and belongings which is equipped with an alarm that can be activated by radio frequency to be installed in locks, but also without providing for the use of self-service terminals.

[004] The first object of the present invention is to increase the operational safety of cabinets, that is, to eliminate the occurrence of situations that even temporarily prevent users from using cabinets to store objects and especially to remove them. in the event of power outages, mechanical breakdowns, malfunctions, electro-electronic problems, program problems, etc., simply by adding a “no breab?” management password and lock-out lock Replaceable sacrificial pin type for non-destructive burglary; Another object of the present invention is to enable the control and monitoring operation of cabinets, bin safes, etc. at a distance, even in different cities via the Internet; One more goal is to be able to control and monitor users and their belongings, recording information at any locally required security level.
