La mise en ceuvre de systemes de reconnaissance de personnel au moyen de badges portables sans contact suppose au niveau du dispositif fixe de reconnaissance, as socie par exemple a un controle d' acces a un local ou un site, la possibilite d'activer etlou d'interroger a distance- lesdits badges. A cet effet, il est necessaire, dans un perimetre minimal defini, d'emettre des signaux electromagnetiques ou de generer un champ electromagnetique predetermines sus ceptibles d' influencer les circuits du badge ou analogue et de declencher ['emission d'une reponse par ce dernier p ouvant etre rec epti onnee et analys ee p ar le di sp o siti f fix e a l' origine de s  The present invention relates to the field of remote recognition or identification of personnel carrying a specific indicator or marker, in particular in the form of a badge, a card or the like, and has for its object a badge recognition unit or the like, as well as a method implementing such a unit. The implementation of personnel recognition systems by means of contactless portable badges presupposes at the level of the fixed recognition device, as a company, for example, a control of access to a room or a site, the possibility of activating and / or 'interrogate these badges remotely. To this end, it is necessary, within a defined minimum perimeter, to emit electromagnetic signals or to generate a predetermined electromagnetic field capable of influencing the circuits of the badge or the like and to trigger ['emission of a response by this last p able to be received and analyzed by the di sp o siti f fixed at the origin of s

La presente invention a pour objet de pallier les inconvenients precites, en permettant une lecture et une reconnaissance rapides et gables, avec une consommation energique faible. A cet effet, la presente invention a pour principal objet une unite autonome de reconnaissance, sans contact et a distance, d'un badge, d'une carte ou d'un moyen de lecture portable analogue, caracterisee en ce qu'elle comprend essentiellement, d'une part, un moyen de detection a faible consommation electrique et, d'autre part, un moyen de lecture du badge ou analogue, ayant en fonctionnement une consommation electrique plus importante que le moyen de detection, le moyen de lecture n'etant active ou alimente, le cas echeant seulement pendant une duree limitee determinee, que lorsque le moyen de detection a releve une presence dans son champ de  The object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, by enabling rapid and gable reading and recognition, with low energy consumption. To this end, the main object of the present invention is an autonomous recognition unit, contactless and remote, of a badge, a card or a similar portable reading means, characterized in that it essentially comprises , on the one hand, a means of detection with low electrical consumption and, on the other hand, a means of reading the badge or the like, having in operation a higher electrical consumption than the means of detection, the means of reading does not being active or powered, the case only occurring during a determined limited time, only when the detection means has detected a presence in its field of

apres, qui se rapporte a un mode de realisation prefere, donne a titre d'exemple non limitatif, et explique avec reference aux dessins schematiques annexes, dans lesquels: la figure 1 represente de maniere synoptique et symbolique une unite selon ['invention, ainsi qu'un badge susceptible d'etre lu et reconnu par cette unite; la fgure 2 est une representation schematique d'un moyen de detection faisant partie d'une unite selon ['invention, et, la figure 3 est une vue partielle en perspective et partiellement ecorchee d'un clavier de programmation comprenant une unite selon ['invention. Comme le montre la figure 1, ['unite de reconnaissance 1 comprend essentiellement, d'une part, un moyen de detection 3 a faible consommation electrique et, d'autres part, un moyen 4 de lecture du badge 2 - 3 - ou analogue, ayant en fonctionnement une consommation electrique plus importante que le moyen de detection 3, le moyen de lecture 4 n'etant active, le cas echeant seulement pendant une duree limitee determinee, que lorsque le moyen de detection 3 a releve une presence dans son champ de detection. Conformement a une caracteristique de ['invention, le moyen de detection 3 consiste en un capteur de proximite (de presence et/ou de mouvement), preferentiellement de type optique ou infrarouge (proche infrarouge). L'invention pourra etre appliquee aussi bien avec des badges  after, which relates to a preferred embodiment, given by way of nonlimiting example, and explains with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings, in which: FIG. 1 represents in a synoptic and symbolic manner a unit according to the invention, thus that a badge capable of being read and recognized by this unit; Figure 2 is a schematic representation of a detection means forming part of a unit according to the invention, and, Figure 3 is a partial perspective view and partially broken away of a programming keyboard comprising a unit according to [' invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the recognition unit 1 essentially comprises, on the one hand, a detection means 3 with low electrical consumption and, on the other hand, a means 4 for reading the badge 2 - 3 - or the like , having in operation a higher electrical consumption than the detection means 3, the reading means 4 being active, if necessary only for a determined limited duration, only when the detection means 3 has detected a presence in its field of detection. In accordance with a characteristic of the invention, the detection means 3 consists of a proximity (presence and / or movement) sensor, preferably of the optical or infrared (near infrared) type. The invention can be applied as well with badges

actifs qu'avec des badges passifs.active only with passive badges.

Le moyen de lecture 4 peut comprendre avantageusement un moyen 5 d'activation et d' interrogation emettant, de mani ere continue ou intermittente, un champ magnetique avec une frequence sensiblement identique a la frequence d'accord de l'antenne de reception 7 du badge ou analogue 2, ce des que le fonctionnement normal du moyen de lecture 4 est  The reading means 4 can advantageously comprise an activation and interrogation means 5 emitting, continuously or intermittently, a magnetic field with a frequency substantially identical to the tuning frequency of the antenna for receiving the badge or the like 2, as soon as the normal operation of the reading means 4 is

etabli ou retabli.established or restored.

Avantageusement, ledit moyen de lecture 4 comprendra un moyen 5 d'activation et/ou d'interrogation a distance du badge ou analogue 2 et un moyen 6 de reception et d'analyse du signal emis en reponse par ledit badge ou analogue 3, ledit moyen de lecture 4 pouvant etre bascule d'un mode de fonctionnement normal en un mode desactive ou de veille et  Advantageously, said reading means 4 will comprise a means 5 of remote activation and / or interrogation of the badge or the like 2 and a means 6 of reception and analysis of the signal sent in response by said badge or the like 3, said reading means 4 which can be switched from a normal operating mode to a deactivated or standby mode and

La limite du champ d'activation et d' interrogation est constituee par la zone de bord peripherique audit champ a partir de laquelle l'energie induite au niveau de l'antenne 7 du badge 2 est suffisante pour permettre la generation et ['emission d'un signal de reponse avec une energie suffisante  - 4 To achieve a coherent implementation of the means of the invention, the limits of the detection field of the means 3 and of the field of activation and interrogation of the reading means 4 will be substantially confused, and the function of said means 3 will consist in detecting the presence of an object in the reader field. The limit of the activation and interrogation field is constituted by the edge zone peripheral to said field from which the energy induced at the level of the antenna 7 of the badge 2 is sufficient to allow the generation and [emission of '' a response signal with sufficient energy

Cette derriere disposition permettra, en outre, de realiser une discrimination entre un objet ou un article se deplacant involontairement au niveau de la zone de bord du champ de detection et les objets ou articles qui ont effectivement un mouvement d'approche en direction de ['unite 1, ou des bornes d'emission/reception des moyens 3 et 4. Cette discrimination pourra etre rendue encore plus efficace en n'autorisant une activation du moyen de lecture 4 qu'apres au moins deux detections successives par le  i.e. be powered up or be switched to active mode) intermittently (for example by interval of ls spaces of 0.5s) and / or the area covered by the activation or interrogation field be smaller than that covered by the detection field in such a way that the limit of the first is set back from that of the second and included in this behind. This rear arrangement will also make it possible to discriminate between an object or an article involuntarily moving at the level of the edge of the detection field and objects or articles which actually have an approach movement towards [' unit 1, or transmission / reception terminals of the means 3 and 4. This discrimination can be made even more effective by authorizing an activation of the reading means 4 only after at least two successive detections by the
