Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for upgrading an existing access control system for increasing access control security and functionality. Furthermore it relates to a method of operating such an upgraded access control system, to a correspondingly upgraded access control system and to an interception unit for use in such an access control system or an upgrade of such an access control system.
  • the present invention proposes such a method for upgrading an existing access control system, a method for operating such an upgraded access control system, as well as elements for such an upgraded access control systems or elements to be used for the upgrade of such access control systems.
  • the present invention in a 1 st aspect thereof relates to a method for upgrading an existing access control system.
  • an existing access control system comprises at least one access point (e.g. a door) which is controlled by a reader unit for reading authorization information from a portable token (a batch, a key or the like) and a corresponding unlocking device (typically a physical device physically locking and unlocking the door).
  • a reader unit for reading authorization information from a portable token (a batch, a key or the like)
  • a corresponding unlocking device typically a physical device physically locking and unlocking the door.
  • the reader unit is in wired connection via at least one 1st control line (a physical wired line, can be a single line, two or more wired lines) communicatively connected to an access controller, and said access controller is in wired connection via at least one 2nd control line (again a physical wired line, can be a single line, two or more wired lines) communicatively connected to said unlocking device, and said access controller controls the locking state of said unlocking device via said 2nd control line by verifying identification information transmitted via 1st control line from said reader unit.
  • 1st control line a physical wired line, can be a single line, two or more wired lines
  • 2nd control line again a physical wired line, can be a single line, two or more wired lines
  • Such an access control system comprises one central access control unit and, depending on the access points, a corresponding number of reader units and unlocking units, but it is also possible that for each access point in individual reader unit, access unit and unlocking unit are pre-existing, in both cases the proposed upgrade is possible.
  • the upgrade is realized in that a 2 nd identification retrieval mechanism is embedded into the pre-existing access control system.
  • This identification information retrieval mechanism is brought in by an additional interception unit.
  • This interception unit which can simply be inserted into the communication channel between the reader and the access controller, has the functionality of independently establishing a connection to either the same or another token of the holder desiring to access through the access point.
  • the idea is to have as a 1 st token the batch of the holder, and the 2 nd token of the holder is the personal mobile handheld device.
  • the interception unit is adapted for establishing a communication link to the personal mobile handheld device in order to retrieve information there from to allow for increased security access granting.
  • the interception device So basically the function of the interception device is to intercept the data transfer between the reader and the access controller until, after having established a connection between the interception device and the mobile handheld device and after having established further identification information by using the mobile handheld device, only forwarding the data transfer further to the access controller once identification has been verified.
  • the telecommunication functionalities of the mobile handheld devices of the holders in order to further verify the input information (pin, fingerprint, etc.) input by the holder into the mobile handheld device by contacting a corresponding central authority (e.g. via cloud-based).
  • Preferably all this data communication is encrypted, and it is possible to basically store the token information using the interception unit and the handheld device the 1 st time, on the mobile handheld device so as to avoid to have to use the token (key, batch) each time an access point needs to be released and passed.
  • the interception unit comprises at least one radiofrequency interface for establishing a wireless communication channel between said interception unit and a mobile handheld devic of said holder, and said verification by the interception unit involves retrieving information about access permission of said holder via said mobile handheld device.
  • the radiofrequency interface is a wireless local area network (WLAN) interface, a Bluetooth interface, Bluetooth smart, preferably a low-energy Bluetooth or Bluetooth smart interface.
  • WLAN wireless local area network
  • Bluetooth Bluetooth
  • a low-energy Bluetooth or Bluetooth smart interface preferably a low-energy Bluetooth or Bluetooth smart interface.
  • retrieving information about access permission of said holder via said mobile handheld device includes the steps of identifying said holder and/or said mobile handheld device by means of input given by said holder into said mobile handheld device, and/or by means of readout of an unambiguous identification information from said mobile handheld device.
  • identification information can for example be input into the mobile handheld device in a 1 st contact with the upgraded access control system, and can be the identification information associated with the personal token of the holder of the personal mobile handheld device, see further description below.
  • said input is at least one of: a pin code, a biometric information collected by said mobile device, such as fingerprint, picture, in particular face and/or skin picture, eyepicture, positional information, or a combination thereof.
  • further increasing the security level of the upgrade retrieving information about access permission of said holder via said mobile handheld device includes the step of establishing an external wireless communication using a WLAN or telecommunication channel by said mobile handheld device to an overall control authority (i.e. the central data control unit, e.g. established cloud-based) which verifies access permission independently and transmits, provided access granted, a corresponding permission back to said mobile handheld device and directly and/or in directly via said radiofrequency interface to the interception unit.
  • an overall control authority i.e. the central data control unit, e.g. established cloud-based
  • the interception unit after having verified permission to access, preferentially transmits said identification information from said reader unit identical to the one as initially received from said reader unit. However it's also possible to transmit specifically modified data to the access controller.
  • Verifying permission to access is possible either by the interception unit autonomously and/or by an overall control authority via communication therewith by means of the mobile handheld device and may involve authorizing at least one of: access time, access frequency, access number, access permission status of holder, trust status of holder, compliance of data about or from holder retrieved by said mobile handheld device with an internal database, or a combination thereof.
  • the radio frequency interface automatically establishes a radiofrequency connection to said mobile handheld device once it is in sufficient proximity to the interception unit , and, if needed, once connection established, increases the power level from low level stand by to high-level.
  • the interception unit can be provided with means for determining the distance between the interception unit and the mobile handheld device, and this distance can also be taken into account as a parameter for granting access.
  • the interception unit comprises an independent CPU, RAM, ROM, volatile and/or non-volatile data storage elements, an encryption unit, standalone and/or grid based power supply. If need be also a real-time clock element, and optionally a secondary CPU, RAM/ROM, data storage element can be present.
  • the interception unit can be put into the same housing as the reader, and the access controller, it's however also possible to put the interception unit only into a housing of the reader or into a separate housing.
  • the data transmitted via said 1 st communication line is serial, Wiegand (3 wires, one common ground and D0 and D1) or clock and data.
  • the 2 nd communication line is often just a power line.
  • Last but not least the present invention relates to a particularly tailored interception unit for a method as outlined above or to be part of or used in an access control system as outlined above and preferably comprising at least one radiofrequency interface for establishing a wireless communication channel between said interception unit and a mobile handheld device of said holder, and wherein said verification by the interception unit involves retrieving information about access permission of said holder via said mobile handheld device, wherein preferably the radiofrequency interface is a wireless local area network (WLAN) interface, a Bluetooth interface, Bluetooth smart, preferably a low-energy Bluetooth interface.
  • WLAN wireless local area network
  • a pre-existing access control system typically involves, at each access point, a reader unit 1 and an unlocking device 3, the latter normally being an electric motor controlled to withdraw or bring forward a locking pin or the like.
  • an unlocking device 3 normally being an electric motor controlled to withdraw or bring forward a locking pin or the like.
  • Such a pre-existing access control system furthermore typically includes a management unit 7, e.g. a central computer or server, which is also linked to the access controller 2, and which can be used to manage and control the access permissions in the access controller 2.
  • a management unit 7 e.g. a central computer or server, which is also linked to the access controller 2, and which can be used to manage and control the access permissions in the access controller 2.
  • Access is controlled in this case by a personal token 6, which can be a batch, or a key, which would then be a combination of a mechanical and an electrical/electronic access device, which can be used for accessing a certain access point.
  • the token 6 is approached to the reader unit 1 for access, and the reader unit typically communicates via radiofrequency with the token, which basically then acts as an RFID. Typically this communication is encrypted.
  • the corresponding token information is subsequently transferred via a 1 st physical control line 4 from the reader unit 1 to the access controller 2.
  • the token information is compared with corresponding authorization codes, or databases, and if there the required access permission can be established by this comparison, an unlocking signal is transmitted from the access controller 2 to the unlocking device 3 for unlocking the door of the access point.
  • All that needs to be done for upgrading such an access control system is one basically inserts an interception unit 9 into the 1 st control line 4 between the reader and the access controller 2. So basically this 1 st line 4 is split into a 1 st part line 4' between the reader unit 1 and the interception unit 9, and a 2 nd part line 4" between the interception unit 9 and the access controller.
  • the interception unit acts to intercept the data transfer and only forward the data received from the reader if corresponding access granting or identification is established in the interception unit 9.
  • the interception unit 9 is provided with communication means to communicate with a portable handheld device 10 carried by the person also carrying the token 6 and desiring to pass the access point. Once the handheld device 10 is in sufficient proximity to the interception unit 9, a preferably encrypted data connection is established between the interception unit 9 and the mobile handheld device 10.
  • An app installed on the mobile handheld device 10 after establishment of this data connection for example request the user to input a pin, to present the finger to a fingerprint sensor on the handheld device, to make a picture of the face or of the eye or the like, in the sense of biometric data, and only if this data is then verified to be correct, the interception unit 9 forwards the data, initially received from the reader unit via line 4', for which via line 4" to the access controller 2, which will then, without having to be modified at all basically, trigger the corresponding unlocking signal for the unlocking device 3.
  • the information retrieved by the mobile handheld device is further verified by establishment of a mobile data connection of the mobile handheld device 10 to the Internet, where on the Internet then, by corresponding communication between the app on the handheld device and the corresponding Internet site, preferably using an encrypted protocol, the information is verified, and if positively verified the corresponding access granting approval is transmitted to the app on the handheld device, the handheld device will transmit the approval to the interception unit 9, and in turn the interception unit 9 will then basically release the signal to the access controller 2.
  • the interception unit 9 which can be in a separate housing, which however can also be put into the housing of the reader for example, comprises a reader interface 14 for communicating with the reader by line 4' , and a controller interface 15 for communicating with the access controller 2 by line 4".
  • the interception unit 9 comprises a radiofrequency interface for communication with the mobile handheld device 10. This is preferably a low-energy Bluetooth interface, so as to save energy and to avoid unnecessary radiofrequency emission.
  • the main electronics of the interception unit shall be outlined as follows: there is provided a usual intelligent controller, often SoC or single chip, like, comprising CPU, ROM to hold program storage, RAM for temporary data storage (volatile) and stack, data storage nonvolatile, an encryption unit, typically in the hardware, supports accelerated Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) calculation, RTC - Realtime clock to maintain time in case of power outage (battery powered), RF interface 13 - here: Bluetooth low energy (BLE, bluetooth smart) protocol engine, radio, HF amplifiers etc.
  • CC2540 TI specialized microcontroller which contains all above (no RTC, but a counter).
  • eader interface 14 Connected to such a main controller is the eader interface 14, which behaves like the usual "controller side” interfaces a reader is connected to.
  • eader interface 14 In case of "wiegand”, there are min. 2 inputs for "D0" and D1" data lines, typically a reader block or LED indication output, a buzzer control output (optional).
  • Alternative versions can use different interfaces like Omron Magstripe (clock&Data) interface, serial RS-485 or other interfaces a controller-side interface 15, which behaves like the usual "wiegand” or other access reader.
  • clock&Data Omron Magstripe
  • serial RS-485 serial RS-485 or other interfaces
  • controller-side interface 15 which behaves like the usual "wiegand” or other access reader.
  • there are min. 2 outputs for D0 and D1 data lines typically reader block or LED indication INPUTS, buzzer control input.
  • a key is that 14 and 15 are "inverse function" interfaces, so while a reader can be connected to 14, 15 actually SIMULATES a reader to the controller.
  • Other components might include a higher level application CPU with more memory, encryption, decision making capabilities.
  • Power supply circuitry will generally be needed also, as illustrated by reference numeral 12.
  • a smart phone 10 which can communicate with the main electronics via Bluetooth or Bluetooth Smart or Wifi.
  • a cloud based service can be used also to enhance functionality in the communication 19.
  • the invention can be used as a standard BLE based ID reader.
  • the device 9 can receive credentials from a smart phone and deliver these to the controller, effectively emulating a Wiegand Reader.
  • the two main functions the invention can provide are:
  • use of the invention can also provide online reporting and even decision making for currently offline, installed access control systems, which generally also results in higher security and monitorability.
  • One key idea of the invention is that it can "intercept" the credentials coming from a reader 1, and only forwarding these to the controller 2 after certain additional security checks, logging or validation of personal security credentials (pin, password, fingerprint, face contour etc) have been conducted.
  • Possibilities include time or other criteria based additional checks (for example, if an employee comes in the morning, he also needs to do a face recognition check on his mobile, but later he does not need to do this).
  • intercepted credentials can be stored into the memory of the RF connected mobile phone, so that the user has no access, the data is safely encrypted, and can be released at the next reader (door).
  • an employee arriving in the morning to the premises of a military or industrial location will "badge" to open the door, with all other security steps involved.
  • the credentials of his card can be captured into the memory of the mobile phone, and for any further access within the premises, no ID card or batch is needed any more ("hands free” operations) because the ID of the employee has now entered the memory of the smart phone, potentially has been online validated, and can be transmitted through the inventions port 15 to door controllers 9 as if the employee would use his hands and his ID/batch manually (which he still may do).
  • one aspect of the invention can be that by use of location data, the ID information can be erased from the mobile phone once it leaves the perimeter of the location (geo fencing), so a lost phone outside of the area can not be used for entry.
  • the mobile phone 10 connects to a server to get the ID credentials (userid/password can be used to secure that data, and the phone can then get a local copy of the ID data), and instead of presenting a badge, carrying the mobile phone will be enough to be identified.
  • the BLE standard preferably used in the present device includes the possibility to transmit at different RF levels, and also include the actual transmit energy level in announcements.
  • standard mobile phone, bluetooth BLE stack implementations, API and libraries support "ranging” by reading the RSSI level from the RF receivers, and calculating, based on that information PLUS the transmitted RSSI level, the approximate distance.
  • this functionality can be used to make sure the above mentioned “copy ID into local memory” function can only be used if the mobile is within very close proximity of the device 9, however, later, for the "hands free” solution (sending back the ID for entry), a larger distance is allowed.
  • the mobile phone When he returns to his car, the mobile phone will "see” the truck, and go online to request an authorization key that the user may operate the truck, which then, upon approval, is encrypted with the car's security credentials and sent via the invention into the truck to unlock it.
  • main use of the invention is the upgrade of current access control installations using readers, to increase security or usability, by adding the mobile phone component with its readers and interfaces, and the possibility to go online for recording and decision making at a central location.
  • the invention enables legacy access control systems to be part of the "internet of things" without the central controllers to be touched.
