Abstract

A security card (101) has a chip (102), an aerial loop (103), a capacitor (104), a charging circuit (105) and a drive circuit (106). A down-load station (111) is a stand alone structure, housing an un-interruptible power supply (121), for powering a micro-processor unit (122). This has an associated memory (123) and a transceiver (124) with an aerial (125). The latter is housed in an upstand (126). Under control of the micro-processor, the transceiver constantly emits card charging pulses from the aerial, typically at 13.5MHz. Any card in close proximity of the aerial is charged and reacts by transmitting. A transmission protocol enables the microprocessor to receive the data stored on the card. In use, as each bearer (B1, B2) approaches the down-load station, the closest bearer's card is interrogated and the image of the bearer is displayed. Usually, the name of the bearer is also displayed, it being the or part of the unique code. Thus the overseer (O) is able to greet the bearer by name. If the image does not match the face of the bearer, the overseer can decline to allow the bearer into the permises, at whose entrance the equipment is installed.

Description

SECURITY SYSTEM
The present invention relates to a security system, particularly though not exclusively for verifying admissibility of people to a premises.
For many occasions, such as exhibitions, political conferences and so on, admission documents are provided. Increasingly these are in ISO card format. The cards can have data printed on them. Often, the printed data is supplemented with a magnetic stripe on the card, encoding the data. Usually the encoded data is the same as that shown printed on the card, but this is not always the case. The cards may bear a photograph of the user. Recently, the magnetic stripes have been replaced or supplemented by so-called Smart chips, that is to say small microcircuits with contacts flush with the surface of the card. The data is recorded in the memory of the microcircuit.
Admission is usually supervised by security personnel, typically one to check the card and another to assist in turning away an unauthorised individual. Whilst photographs on cards provide in theory a very easy way of checking that the bearer of the card is same person as it was issued to, discrete inspection of the photograph can be difficult, particularly when its data is being read electronically.
In a prior system, we have provided a security system in which a unique code identifying the bearer of the card was recorded on each card and a card reader was associated with a computer adapted to retrieve from memory a photograph of the bearer on presentation of the car to the reader. The retrieved photograph was displayed on a visual display unit associated with the reader for comparison with the bearer as the bearer entered the premises concerned. This system was able to be used discretely by the overseeing security personnel, but suffered from the disadvantage of the photographic representation needing to be available in the memory of the card reader.
The object of the present invention is to provide an improved security system.
According to the invention there is provided a security system comprising: • a security pass document, the document having a micro-chip memory, the memory having recorded on it in machine readable form data representing at least a unique code identifying the bearer and a photographic representation of its bearer; • means for down-loading the code and the photographic representation from the pass document; and
• means for real-time display of the photographic representation on presentation of the pass document to the down-loading means.
Normally, the security pass document will include a duplicate of the data representing the unique code and the photograph of the bearer in a form readable via the human eye.
The pass document can be an ISO card. Alternatively, it can be a badge or the like. Where it is a contact ISO card, it can be read by presentation to the down-load means. Where the pass document is a badge or the like, reading will be remote as by pulsed response, in which a burst of electromagnetic energy is transmitted to activate a transmitter in the badge which transmits the code. Further, it is preferred that where the pass document is an ISO card, it also should be a contactless card.
According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a security pass document having a micro-chip memory and the memory having recorded on it in machine readable form data representing at least a unique code identifying a bearer and a photographic representation of the bearer.
According to a third aspect of the invention, there is provided a security pass equipment comprising:
• means for down-loading the code and the photographic representation from the pass document; and
• means for real-time display of the photographic representation on presentation of the pass document to the down-loading means. According to a fourth aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of monitoring entrance to a premises having installed security pass equipment of the third aspect by bearers of security pass documents of the second aspect, the method consisting in the steps of: each successive bearer passing the equipment and presenting his/her security pass document for down-load of its data; displaying successive photographic representations from the bearer's cards on the display means of the equipment; an overseer comparing the photographic representations as displayed with the bearers themselves.
To help understanding of the invention, a specific embodiment thereof will now be described by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a front view of a security pass card of the invention;
Figure 2 is a similar view of the back of the card;
Figure 3 is a block diagram of a do wn-load station for interrogating the card to down-load its stored data;
Figure 4 is a is a diagrammatic view of the down-load station of Figure 3; Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 1 of another security card of the invention;
Figure 6 is a perspective view of a down-load station for the card of Figure 5; Figure 7 shows the security system of Figures 5 & 6 in use; and Figure 8 is a perspective view of another security pass document.
Referring to the drawings, a security card 1 of ISO machine readable format has a so-called Smart chip 2 on its front and printed data on its back, including for instance a serial number 3, an expiry date 4 and a bearer photograph 5. The chip has the serial number and expiry date and other validation data recorded in it. In addition, the photograph is memorised in the chip 2.
A reader station 11 has a slot for insertion 12 of the card, and includes conventional read contact heads 13 and a card ejector 14. Also mounted within the reader station is a computer 15 with associated memory 16. Connected to the reader station is a display 17.
In use a bearer presents his card to the machine. The details are read and if the card is valid, the bearer can be admitted by a released gate (not shown). However, this is not necessary. The card may simply be returned to the user who is free to enter. The result of the reading is displayed for an admission overseer to monitor. If the card is valid, the bearer's photograph is displayed. This enables discrete security surveillance, with the screen being sited so that the guard can readily compare the displayed photograph with the bearer's face. If for any reason the card is not valid, a message to this effect is displayed. In this event, or if the photograph shows the wrong bearer, the guard can decline to permit the bearer to enter.
In the embodiment in shown in Figures 5 to 7, the security card 101 has a chip 102, an aerial loop 103, a capacitor 104, a charging circuit 105 and a drive circuit 106. This type of card, a contactless card, is a known type and as such requires only a brief description. In use, the aerial receives a burst of transmitted electromagnetic radiation. The induced resonant current is rectified by the charging circuit and the capacitor 104 is charged. This enables the data stored in the chip to be read for modulation of an oscillation of the drive circuit powered by the capacitor. The oscillation is radiated by the aerial.
A down-load station 111 is a stand alone structure, housing an un-interruptible power supply 121, for powering a micro-processor unit 122. This has an associated memory 123 and a transceiver 124 with an aerial 125. The latter is housed in an upstand 126 having wording indicating where the card 101 should be presented, such as:
"Present Card".
Under control of the micro-processor, the transceiver constantly emits card charging pulses from the aerial, typically at 13.5MHz. Any card in close proximity of the aerial is charged and reacts by transmitting. A transmission protocol enables the microprocessor to receive the data stored on the card. This is then processed to record in the memory the unique code of the card, for future use in identifying which card bearer approached the down-load station and when. The image data is processed and passed to a visual display unit 128 supported on the down-load station. Here the photographic representation of the bearer is displayed. The unique code, which can be the bearer's name, is display on a separate "welcome" screen, suitably prefaced for example as:
"Welcome, Mr Sills."
In use, as each bearer Bl, B2 approaches the down-load station, the closest bearer's card is interrogated and the image of the bearer is displayed. Usually, the name of the bearer is also displayed, it being the or part of the unique code. Thus the overseer O is able to greet the bearer by name. If the image does not match the face of the bearer, the overseer can decline to allow the bearer into the premises, at whose entrance the equipment is installed.
In the variant shown in Figure 8, the card is replaced by a badge 201 with a clip 231, for securing the badge to the bearer's clothing. It has a chip 202, an aerial loop 203, its own transceiver circuit 204 and a battery 205. Operation is essentially similar to that of the card 101, save that it does not need to receive its transmission energy from an initial transmission from a down-load station. As soon as it detects the down-load station, it initiates a handshake and transmits its data. In this variant, it is not expected that the bearer will require to make an specific presentation of the badge to the down-load station, beyond walking within radio transmission range.
