Abstract

The reader automatically interrogates a card or badge (5) in its vicinity and if the information is acceptable releases a lock. The electric power supply to the reader is activated when a proximity detector (6) senses the presence of a person. The reader then supplies remotely the operating power for the badge or card.

carte ou sur le badge et d'un code mémorisé dans l'électronique, le dispositif comprenant en outre des moyens d'alimentation électrique reliés à l'électronique de25 lecture par l'intermédiaire d'un interrupteur de réveil actionné par un signal de commande.  card or on the badge and a code stored in the electronics, the device further comprising power supply means connected to the reading electronics by means of a wake-up switch actuated by a control signal .

Les dispositifs de commande à lecture à distance, tels que les dispositifs à transpondeur, qui ne nécessitent pas3)30 d'énergie électrique pour l'émetteur, reçoivent un succès commercial croissant du fait de leur facilité de mise en oeuvre. Ces dispositifs sans alimentation électrique de l'émetteur présentent cependant l'inconvénient que le lecteur doit  Remote read control devices, such as transponder devices, which do not require electrical power for the transmitter, are gaining increasing commercial success due to their ease of implementation. These devices without electrical power to the transmitter, however, have the disadvantage that the reader must

être en permanence " éveillé ".be constantly "awake".

2 En effet, lorsque l'émetteur est alimenté électroniquement  2 Indeed, when the transmitter is powered electronically

pour être actif et émettre un message, il est classique d'inclure dans le message émis un message d'éveil en tête du message à lire ou séparé de celui-ci, ce message d'éveil5 actionnant l'interrupteur.  to be active and send a message, it is conventional to include in the message sent an awakening message at the head of the message to be read or separated from it, this awakening message5 actuating the switch.

Lorsque l'émetteur est à lecture par introduction dans le  When the transmitter is read by introduction into the

lecteur, il est aisé de constituer l'interrupteur sous forme électromécanique et de l'actionner lors de10) l'introduction de l'émetteur.  reader, it is easy to constitute the switch in electromechanical form and to activate it during 10) the introduction of the transmitter.

Ces possibilités n'existent pas pour un émetteur passif.  These possibilities do not exist for a passive transmitter.

La présente invention vise en conséquence à pallier cet  The present invention therefore aims to overcome this

inconvénient grâce à un nouveau dispositif de lecture de construction simple, économique et fiable.  disadvantage thanks to a new reading device of simple, economical and reliable construction.

A cet effet, le dispositif de lecture selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un détecteur de proximité20 commandant ledit interrupteur lors de la détection de la carte ou du badge ou de la personne portant la carte ou le badge. L'invention permet donc de maintenir le dispositif de lecture en sommeil et de ne le réveiller que juste avant l'amenée à proximité de la carte ou du badge à lire, lequel  To this end, the reading device according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises a proximity detector 20 controlling said switch when the card or badge or the person carrying the card or badge is detected. The invention therefore makes it possible to keep the reading device in sleep and to wake it up only just before bringing it close to the card or badge to be read, which

n'est pas modifié.is not changed.

Selon une forme de réalisation préférée de l'invention, le détecteur de proximité est un détecteur infrarouge réglé pour émettre un signal de commande lors de la détection  According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the proximity detector is an infrared detector adjusted to emit a control signal during detection

d'une élévation de température due à la proximité du corps du porteur de la carte ou du badge.  a rise in temperature due to the proximity of the body of the card or badge holder.

En variante, on peut prévoir que le détecteur de proximité est constitué par une barrière optique.  As a variant, it can be provided that the proximity detector is constituted by an optical barrier.

3 Selon une autre forme de réalisation, le détecteur de proximité est constitué par un émetteur-récepteur émettant un rayonnement, par exemple infrarouge, et détectant la réflexion de ce rayonnement par la carte ou le badge. 5 L'invention s'applique à tout type de carte ou de badge, mais de préférence aux cartes ou aux badges passifs tels  3 According to another embodiment, the proximity detector is constituted by a transceiver emitting radiation, for example infrared, and detecting the reflection of this radiation by the card or the badge. 5 The invention applies to any type of card or badge, but preferably to passive cards or badges such

Mais elle s'applique aussi avantageusement aux cartes ou aux badges à lecture directe, par exemple à trous ou à pistes magnétiques, dans la mesure o elle permet la suppression de l'interrupteur mécanique qui est en particulier facile à violer.15 L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la  But it also advantageously applies to cards or badges with direct reading, for example with holes or magnetic strips, insofar as it allows the elimination of the mechanical switch which is in particular easy to violate. will be well understood by reading the

description suivante d'un exemple de réalisation, en référence au dessin annexé dont la figure unique est une vue schématique d'un lecteur associé à une serrure et d'un20 badge associé.  Following description of an exemplary embodiment, with reference to the appended drawing, the single figure of which is a schematic view of a reader associated with a lock and of an associated badge.

Un lecteur 1 est logé dans le boîtier 2 d'une serrure actionnée par une poignée 3 telle qu'une serrure de porte d'hôtel. Le boîtier 2 comporte une fente 4 d'introduction25 d'un badge 5 en vue de sa lecture par le lecteur 1. Bien entendu, dans le cas d'un badge passif lu à distance, la  A reader 1 is housed in the housing 2 of a lock actuated by a handle 3 such as a hotel door lock. The box 2 includes a slot 4 for inserting a badge 5 for reading by the reader 1. Of course, in the case of a passive badge read from a distance, the

fente 4 n'existe pas.slot 4 does not exist.

Le boîtier 2 contient également une batterie électrique reliée à une électronique de lecture par l'intermédiaire d'un interrupteur, cet ensemble formant le dispositif de  The box 2 also contains an electric battery connected to a reading electronics by means of a switch, this assembly forming the device for

L'interrupteur peut être constitué par une entrée d'un circuit ET dont l'autre entrée est reliée à la batterie, la sortie du circuit ET constituant35 l'alimentation d'un basculeur d'alimentation de l'électronique de lecture.  reading or reader. The switch can be constituted by an input of an AND circuit, the other input of which is connected to the battery, the output of the AND circuit constituting the supply of a power switch for reading electronics.

4 Conformément à une forme de réalisation de l'invention, le boîtier 2 est équipé d'un détecteur infrarouge 6 constituant un détecteur de proximité agencé pour détecter l'élévation de température résultant de la proximité d'un5 utilisateur portant le badge 5. La portée du détecteur infrarouge 6 est de préférence supérieure à celle de  4 In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the box 2 is equipped with an infrared detector 6 constituting a proximity detector arranged to detect the rise in temperature resulting from the proximity of a user wearing the badge 5. The range of the infrared detector 6 is preferably greater than that of

Le détecteur infrarouge 6 est alimenté par la batterie et entraine à cet effet une très faible consommation électrique. Le détecteur 6 est relié à l'interrupteur, par exemple à l'entrée correspondante du circuit ET, de manière  The infrared detector 6 is powered by the battery and causes very low power consumption for this purpose. The detector 6 is connected to the switch, for example to the corresponding input of the AND circuit, so
