Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a security identification and information system for verifying that a person is authorised to use an installation.
  • PIN personal identification number
  • security measures are generally inconvenient and easily circumvented should an operator be observed keying in his PIN.
  • the operator is required to type his/her PIN every time he/she desires to use, for example, the cash register to record a transaction and obtain change for the customer, this results in additional delay for the customer and a reduction in productivity for the operator.

  • a basic TIRIS system has three components, a tag, a reader, and an antenna.
  • the tag also referred to as the transponder, contains program data which may be read by the reader.
  • the reader transmits short bursts of electromagnetic energy which charges up the transponder in a matter of milliseconds.
  • TIRIS transponders or tags may be READ ONLY devices or READ/WRITE devices, and come in a variety of shapes and sizes.
  • READ ONLY tags contain a unique, factory-programmed code that is 20 digits in length.
  • READ/WRITE tags can be customised by the end user with individual identification codes that may be changed thousands of times.

  • One advantage of providing the personal identification means in the form of a band which may be worn on the user's finger or wrist is that it leaves the user's hands free to operate the beverage dispensing apparatus 12. Indeed, provided the central or host computer 14 verifies that the person is authorised to use the beverage dispensing apparatus responsive to the security signal generated by the detector, the user can operate the beverage dispensing apparatus without being aware of the process of identification and verification which occurs every time their hand is brought near to the beverage dispensing apparatus 12.

Abstract

Système d'identification et d'information de sécurité comportant des moyens d'identification personnelle (10) portés par une personne, et des moyens détecteurs prévus dans une installation (12) et adaptés pour détecter les moyens d'identification personnelle (10) et à délivrer un signal de sécurité en réponse à cette détection. Des moyens de traitement (14) réagissant au signal de sécurité vérifient que la personne est autorisée à utiliser l'installation (12). Si tel n'est pas le cas, le fonctionnement de l'installation (12) est inhibé. L'installation (12) est de préférence un appareil distributeur de boissons (24), mais il pourrait s'agir d'un distributeur automatique (22) ou encore d'un point d'accès à porte de sécurité (20, 26). Les moyens d'identification personnelle (10) sont constitués d'un émetteur ou répondeur sans contact monté dans une bague ou une montre-bracelet. La sensibilité des moyens détecteurs est réglable et la zone de détection est peu étendue (par exemple un rayon de 20 cm). Les moyens de traitement (14) sont reliés à un réseau comprenant plusieurs appareils distributeurs de boissons (24), plusieurs caisses, etc., et empêchent les personnes non autorisées de les utiliser. Toutes les opérations de l'installation (12) sont contrôlées et enregistrées, et les niveaux de stock peuvent être contrôlés.
