Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for controlling the entry or exit of an area by persons or moving objects, the persons or objects each carrying a signal transmitter that transmits or triggers a code relating to the respective person or object, and wherein the reception of a specific code is detected as a warning signal for unauthorized entry or exit of the area by the person or thing in question.
- the invention relates to a device for controlling the access or exit of an area by people or moving objects with a detection device which detects codes which emit or trigger signaling devices assigned to the persons or objects and which upon receipt of a signal not for entering or leaving the Area warning codes gives a warning signal.
- US Pat. No. 5,079,541 describes a method and a device of the type specified above, the known method and the corresponding device serving to secure and control the access and exit of an infant ward in a hospital.
- a signal transmitter With this signal generator it can are, for example, a transponder that transmits a certain code in the area of action of an electromagnetic field.
- the detection device detects the signal output by the signal transmitter and in turn outputs a warning signal. In this way it is ensured that the attempt to carry an infant out of the ward without authorization is recognized and an alarm is triggered.
- the detection device also issues an alarm if authorized persons, for example the nursing staff or the parents, want to leave or enter the monitored area with the infant. This makes it necessary to remove the signaling device from the infant before leaving or entering the station, or to take additional measures such as obtaining special permission from supervisory personnel to enter or exit the station.
- the object of the invention is to provide a simple means a method and an apparatus of the type mentioned, which on the one hand safely prevent people or objects from entering or leaving a monitored area unrecognized and unauthorized, and on the other hand the uncomplicated entry and exit of the Enable the area for those people and things who are authorized to do so.
- this object is achieved in that there is at least one second signal generator which is independent of the first signal generator and which emits or triggers a signal which, when received at the same time as the specific code representing a warning signal, gives the authorization of the] a person or thing to which the relevant code representing the warning signal is assigned to leave the area.
- the simultaneous reception of two independently emitted signals is interpreted as authorization for entering or leaving a protected area, one of the signals indicating in itself that the carrier of the signal transmitter emitting this signal per se must not leave the area in question.
- the person who is not authorized to leave or enter the protected area accompanied by a person authorized to do so, can enter or leave the area in question without additional checks.
- infants in a nursing home can be brought out of the nursing home by the authorized nursing staff or their parents and carried to other wards in a hospital, without losing valuable time for laborious identification and control processes.
- the clear assignment of the warning signal to the respective infant according to the invention ensures that no unauthorized person can remove infants from the infant room.
- a particular advantage of the invention is that the control of the entry and exit of the monitored area can be carried out without contact.
- the manner in which the one signal transmitter transmits or triggers the signal emitted by it differs from the manner in which the other signal transmitter transmits or triggers the signal emitted by it.
- two different signal transmission systems are used to generate the signals of one and the other signal generator.
- a specialized signal transmission which is unique in terms of its technical implementation in the area of the protected area, can be implemented, while for the authorized persons in the area of the protected area Similar signal transmission systems that are used in many areas.
- a signal transmitter as a passive element preferably emits its signal due to external excitation, while the other signal transmitter actively sends out a signal.
- a transponder can be used as a passive signal transmitter.
- passive generation of a signal can also be accomplished, for example, in that one signal transmitter disturbs an electromagnetic field when approaching an output of the area and thus triggers a warning signal, while the other signal transmitter is a transmitter that emits a specific, coded signal.
- An alternative embodiment of the invention is characterized in that a disturbance, which is caused by the simultaneous reception of codes which are emitted by the two different signal transmitters, is recognized by at least two persons or objects as a signal for authorized simultaneous entry or exit from the area becomes.
- the invention takes advantage of the fact that, in the event that the codings are recorded simultaneously by two identical signal transmitters that are registered or known in the system, these codes can generally no longer be clearly separated easily. Instead, a disturbed signal formed from the overlapping codes is received, which is readily recognized as such by a suitable detection device, it being possible at the same time to check whether the codes triggering the disturbance are known in the system.
- the type of disturbance detected by the detection device is then recognized as a signal that an unauthorized person or thing, accompanied by an authorized person or thing, is entering or leaving the monitored area in a legitimate manner.
- the invention thus makes it possible with simple means to control and log the access of an area.
- the invention can be implemented particularly easily if the signal transmitters are transponders.
- Such transponders on the one hand enable a specific code to be uniquely assigned to a person or object.
- a superimposition of signals, which are emitted by two or more transponders simultaneously in the effective range of a detection device causes a typical one Fault which as such can be easily recognized in the manner according to the invention as a signal for the authorized entry or exit of the monitored area.
- Transponders which are suitable for use in connection with the embodiments of the invention are currently available, for example, under the trade name "LEGIC” or "MAYFAIR". Of course, other transponders that meet the requirements of the invention can also be used.
- the signal transmitters carried by the persons or things authorized to enter or leave so that even authorized persons or objects can only leave or enter the monitored area together with a second person or object carrying a signal generator.
- certain persons or things carry a signal generator which emits a first code which indicates that the person or object concerned is not authorized to leave or enter the area, while certain other persons or objects each have a signal generator wear another code that differs from the first code, which entitles to enter or leave the area.
- the persons or things authorized to enter or leave can move in the monitored area without being accompanied.
- unauthorized persons or things accompanied by authorized persons can pass through the controls. This configuration is particularly advantageous if O 00/75897-8 - PCT / EPOO / 05030
- the monitored area is an infant station in a hospital and the infants carry a signal transmitter whose code does not authorize entry or exit from the infant station, while other persons, such as parents or nursing staff, each carry a signal transmitter whose coding authorizes them to enter or leave the infant station .
- the practicality of the invention can be further improved in that the persons or things authorized to enter or leave the area have different degrees of authorization. In this way, the code given by the signal transmitters can be used to control access to other areas, which may only be entered by a certain group of authorized persons or things.
- the above-mentioned invention is achieved in that the detection device recognizes the simultaneous, disturbed reception of two codes as a signal for the simultaneous authorized entry or exit of the area by at least two people or things.
- the signal transmitters are transponders.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that at least one second detection device, which detects a second section of the monitored area arranged adjacent to the first section monitored by the first detection device, and an evaluation device are provided which emits a warning signal when one of the Detection devices also issue a warning signal delivers.
- the origin of the detected codings with a higher resolution can be spatially assigned and it can be ensured that only those persons or things enter or leave the monitored area that move closely next to one another.
- Such a device designed according to the invention is particularly suitable for controlling the entry or exit of an infant station in a hospital.
- the inner area of the infant station S which comprises an infant room 1, an inner hallway 2 and supply rooms 3, can be reached via a hallway 4 which is separated from the inner area of the infant station S by a door 5.
- the door 5 can be opened by means of a door opener 5a.
- a detection device 6, 7 is arranged on each side of the door 5. Both detection devices 6, 7 are connected to an evaluation device 8, which comprises a device (not shown) for emitting an alarm and can emit a signal to the door opener 5a for locking or opening the door 5. Another detection device 9 is arranged in the area of the door 10, which separates the infant room 1 from the hallway 2 of the infant station. It is also connected to the evaluation device 8. This emits an alarm when the detection device detects that an unauthorized person is trying to enter the infant room 1.
- infants who are admitted to the suckling station each have signal transmitters in the form of transponders which emit codes Ai - A 6 .
- certain data such as name, date of birth etc.
- the codes Ai-A 6 indicate that the respective infants may not leave the suckling station S alone.
- the transponder is poured into a band, which is made of a skin-compatible plastic mass and is attached to the arm or leg of the infant in such a way that it can only be detached with a special tool.
- the nursing staff employed to look after the infants also carry signaling devices. These emit a code B which not only entitles the user to enter or leave the infant station S via the door 5, but also to enter or leave the infant room 1 alone or in company.
- the detection device 6 recognizes its authorization to enter the corridor 2 of the infant station Sippoe. In this case too, the evaluation device 8 emits a signal to open the door 5. The same thing happens when a caregiver to whom a code B is assigned comes into the detection range of the detection device 6.
- a stranger X such as a visitor who is not authorized to enter the station, can also be admitted to the nursing station S by actuating the door opener 5a by the nursing staff. Such foreign visitors X can also enter the suckling station accompanied by an authorized person from the nursing staff or from the parents.
- the overlapping codes Ai-A ⁇ , B and C ⁇ -Cg which are given by the persons concerned together with the respective infant, trigger a typical disorder, which as such is detected by the detection device 7 arranged in the interior of the infant station S.
- the evaluation device 8 then sends a signal to open the door 5 to the door opener 5a.
- the infants each carry a miniaturized coil as a signal transmitter, which is accommodated, for example, in a bracelet.
- the coil when entering the area monitored by the detection device 9, the coil triggers a typical disturbance of an electromagnetic field generated by the detection device 9, which code represents a specific code. This disturbance indicates as a warning signal that the infant in question must not leave the infant station S alone.
- the nursing staff employed to look after the infants each carry a signal transmitter designed as a transponder, which, as in the first variant, emits the code B.
- This entitles not only to enter or leave the infant station S via the door 5, but also to enter or leave the infant room 1 alone or in company.
- the parents of the infants who are allowed to visit the suckling station S are equipped with portable signal transmitters in the form of transponders which emit a code C 2 , C 3 . This only entitles the user to enter or leave the inner corridor 2 of the suckling station S.
- detection device 9 triggers a disturbance in its electro-magnetic field, which represents a warning signal for the possibly unauthorized leaving of the infant station. If, however, code B is received at the same time by the detection device 9, the detection device 9 interprets this as a signal that the infant in question, accompanied by an authorized person, wants to pass through the door 10 and the triggering of the alarm or the blocking of the door 10 is omitted.
