Patent attributes
A transmitter (116) for transmitting a secure access signal to a system (117) for providing secure access to a controlled item (111) is disclosed. The access is dependent on information contained in the secure access signal. The transmitter (116) comprises a biometric sensor (121) for receiving a biometric signal and a processor (1005) for matching the biometric signal against members of a database (105) of biometric signatures. The transmitter (116) comprises enabling means (e.g., 127) for enabling an inductive circuit, based on the matching of the biometric signal, to transmit the secure access signal conveying the information to the system (117) upon the inductive circuit being placed within range of a radio frequency field emitted by the system (117).
