Abstract

L'invention concerne un ensemble de compartiments (10) qui comprend plusieurs compartiments (11) qui permettent de placer et de retirer des objets, l'ensemble de compartiments présentant une unité de commande (20) par laquelle une personne peut être identifiée et différentes fonctions de l'ensemble de compartiments (10) peuvent être activées. L'unité de commande (20) présente un logement de clef (30; 30') qui peut être déplacé par différents types de clefs dans différentes positions de clef (50a; 50b; 50c), chaque position de clef (50; 50a; 50b; 50c; 50d) étant associée à une fonction de l'ensemble de compartiments (10) qui peut être activée lorsqu'une clef (40; 40') est placée dans chacune des positions. Les logements de clef (30; 30') présentent en outre des moyens de lecture (31) qui permettent de lire une identification univoque de la clef sur la clef (40; 40') et l'unité de commande (20) comprend des moyens d'introduction (32) qui permettent d'introduire une identification univoque d'utilisateur, des moyens de calcul (33) comparant l'identification de clef saisie dans le moyen de lecture (31) à l'identification d'utilisateur introduite par le moyen d'introduction (32). Le moyen de calcul (33) est configuré de telle sorte qu'il libère un déplacement du logement de clef (30; 30') dans une première position de clef (50a) lorsque les deux identifications comparées correspondent et qu'il existe une association entre elles. L'invention concerne en outre un procédé d'identification d'une personne sur un ensemble électronique de compartiments (10) et de détermination des fonctions de l'ensemble de compartiments (10) dont la personne peut disposer, par une unité de commande (20) de l'ensemble de compartiments (10).
