Definitions

  • This invention relates to a system for access control, and, in particular, to an access control system which allows for overlaying of text information directly onto live video images. This combination of text information and live video images is then displayed on a monitor.
  • a video camera is positioned above a doorway to a building.
  • An individual attempting to enter the building, inserts an identification or access card into an access reader located at the doorway.
  • the insertion of the card into the reader in turn activates the video camera which is preprogrammed to zoom in on the doorway area where the individual is attempting access.
  • the video camera sends a live video image to a monitor of the individual attempting access.
  • the monitor displays the video image of the individual at the door.
  • the video image may then also be recorded on a video cassette recorder ("VCR").
  • VCR video cassette recorder
  • the reader when the individual inserts the card into the access reader, the reader reads the information on the card which may be stored optically, magnetically or mechanically. This information then allows an access control device, such as a sensor panel, to determine whether the card is valid or invalid as well as the individual's name, identification code and other information which may be desirable. The determination, of whether the card is valid or invalid, thereby permitting or denying entry, is referred to as "an access control event.”
  • the access control event and the individual's name, identification code, date, time, etc. are then transmitted to a printer which prints this data out as a separate log.
  • an object of the present invention to provide an access control system which provides both easy and convenient access to viewing text information describing access control events together with live video images on a display device while also recording the live video images with the overlayed text information for later viewing.
  • an access control system having an access control device capable of reading information stored on an access card and determining whether the information read from the access card corresponds with memory information stored in the access control device to permit or deny access to a restricted area.
  • a video camera is positioned at the entry area to the restricted area to capture live video images of an individual attempting access.
  • the access control device determines whether the card is valid or invalid and translates the information into an output having text information through a serial communications interface port or other means of transmitting data to a text overlay control device.
  • the text overlay control device overlays the text information describing the access control event directly onto the video images received from the video camera.
  • the text information and video images are displayed on a video monitor while also being recorded on a video cassette recorder for later viewing.
  • the access control system 10 as shown in FIG. 1 allows for monitoring of individuals entering buildings or other areas requiring some means of surveillance.
  • an access control event occurs when an individual attempts to enter a building by using an identification or access card with information concerning the individual stored therein. The information read from the card results in a determination that the access card is either a valid or invalid card being used to access the building.
  • the access control system 10 then permits security personnel to view a display device, such as a video monitor, which displays as text information on the monitor the access control event, such as "VALID” or "DENIED INVALID", overlayed directly onto a live video image showing the individual attempting entry. Such text information being overlayed directly onto the video image enables security personnel to be immediately and easily aware of all access control events.
  • Recording means such as a programmed VCR, then records the combination of text information and video images together for later viewing on a recording medium, such as videotape.
  • FIG. 1 shows in greater detail the access control system 10.
  • First and second access card readers 12, such as Sensormatic® card readers, model no. IRWS00, are provided at entry areas to a restricted area, such as doorways of a building, along with first and second closed-circuit television ("CCTV") or video cameras 28 which monitor entry to the specified doorways.
  • CCTV closed-circuit television
  • the individual inserts an access card (not shown) into one of the access card readers.
  • the insertion of the card triggers either the first or second video camera depending upon which access card reader is being used.
  • a video switcher 26 allows for viewing of a particular entrance to be switched between either the first or second camera.
  • the card used in the access card reader 12 may have, for example, magnetic information embedded within a magnetic strip which allows for a variety of information to be stored on the card.
  • information stored on the card can include, but is not limited to, the individual's identification number, facility code number, name, address, etc.
  • This information read from the card reader 12 as a digital bitstream, is then sent to access control means or an access control device 14, such as a Sensormatic® panel, model no. SPS4.
  • the access control device 14 compares information from the card with corresponding registered memory information stored in the memory of the access control device 14 to determine whether the information from the card corresponds with the registered information.
  • the access control device 14 then encodes and translates the correspondence, or lack thereof, into an output having text information as an American Standard Code for Information Interchange ("ASCII") character string. This comparison determines whether the card used by the individual is valid or invalid in order to define an access control event.
  • the text information or ASCII character string is in turn sent to computing means or computer 20 through a serial communications interface port 15.
  • the computer 20, such as an IBM® compatible computer configured with Sensormatic® AC 500 software, may receive the text information coming from several access control devices and display the text information on a computer monitor 22.
  • the access control device 14 may control up to eight access card readers at a time and the computer 20 may monitor at least one access control device.
  • the access control system 10 is not limited to such a configuration but can have a variety of configurations and components in order to provide a system for permitting or denying access to a restricted area.
  • a printer 24 attached to the computer 20 provides a print-out of the information read from the access card as well as the determination by the access control device 14 of an access control event.
  • the text information is then sent from the computer 20 to a text overlay control device 100.
  • Video signals from the video cameras 28 of the video images at a particular entryway are also sent to the text overlay control device 100.
  • the text overlay control device 100 then combines the text information with the video signals to overlay the text information directly onto the video image. More particularly, the text overlay control device 100 combines the text information or ASCII character string, indicating an attempted access to a restricted area, e.g., an access control event such as VALID or DENIED INVALID, with the corresponding video images. This combination is then displayed on a monitor 30 to allow security personnel to view the video images while also be informed of a valid or invalid entry to a restricted area by seeing such text information displayed therewith. This combination of text information and video images is also simultaneously recorded on a VCR 32 for later viewing.
  • FIG. 1 also shows a mouse 34 connected to the text overlay control device 100 as an input device.
  • the mouse 34 allows security personnel additional monitoring of the access control system 10.
  • a user utilizes the mouse 34 in order to program the text overlay control device 100 to recognize strings of text information that are indicative of particular access control events.
  • security personnel can be notified visually on the monitor 30 of these events as well as allow the VCR 32 to be triggered to begin recording the events.
  • Such programming is possible by the user utilizing the mouse 34 to access a menu driven software program generated by the text overlay control device 100.
  • the user views a series of menus displayed on the monitor 30 by clicking the mouse 34.
  • the first line of text in the window displayed on the monitor 30 is in reverse video or highlighted.
  • the user can select the desired menu items.
  • a user can define the particular access control event, such as DENIED INVALID or INVALID, to program the text overlay control device 100 to respond to particular access control events as "alarm events.”
  • the text overlay control device 100 closes an alarm relay to begin recording the video signal from the camera 28 along with the text information "DENIED INVALID” overlayed thereon to record on the VCR 32 the "invalid" attempted entry. Further, the text overlay control device 100 triggers an audible alarm 38, such as a bell or siren, further to alert security personnel that an alarm event is occurring.
  • a printer 36 is triggered by the text overlay control device 100 to print a hard copy of a log of the alarm events as they occur and other information from the individual's access card, such as the individual's name, address, individual's identification number, facility code number as well as the date and time.
  • security personnel can watch or replay on the monitor 30 the alarm event recorded by the VCR 32 to show the actual transaction along with the text information indicating the alarm event, be alerted by an audible alarm 38 and have a log printed out by the printer 36 listing each alarm event, showing how frequently an alarm event occurred and the time it occurred.
  • the text overlay control device 100 also has video signals from the video cameras 28 via the video switcher 26 passing through a video buffer and filter 120 in the text overlay control device 100.
  • the video signal at this point takes two paths. One path feeds the video signal to a video/text multiplexer and driver 124 while the other path feeds the video signal to a sync and character generator 122.
  • the text information from the computer 20 is feed to the microprocessor 102 in the text overlay control device 100.
  • the microprocessor 102 then feeds this information to the sync and character generator 122.
  • the signal from the sync and character generator 122 is then mixed with the video signal from the output of the video buffer and filter 120 at the video/text multiplexer and driver 124.
  • the combined video signals and text information are then displayed on a video monitor 30 while also being recorded for later viewing on the VCR 32.
  • the access control system 10 can be used for a variety of types of restricted areas. For example in an area with a small number of entrances, only a limited number of access control devices 14 are needed. Accordingly, the information from the devices 14 can be sent directly to a text overlay control device 100 without requiring the computer 20. Further, one printer may be used to generate reports for both the computer 20 and the text overlay control device 100.
  • recording means and recording mediums can include a variety of other types of recording devices and methods.
  • the cameras 16 can include domes or moveable cameras or pan-tilt-zoom camera assemblies to focus in on a surveillance area.
  • the functioning of the VCR 32 limited to that recited above, but can be programmed in a variety of ways to record the permission and/or denial of entry into a restricted area.
