Patent attributes
An information-based access control system for facilities. The control system includes a mobile app and securely connected central server, which is cloud-based. The app collects and transmits multiple biometric and other authentication factors and the facility enabling the server to verify identity and check to ensure the person is authorized to obtain access. If so, the server issues a limited-duration access token, which can be displayed to the facility guards and transmitted to signal lights and electronic gates to obtain access quickly, conveniently, inexpensively, and securely. In another exemplary embodiment, a vehicle on the move can acquire access without having to slow down or stop. In this exemplary embodiment, an RFID device in a person's vehicle who is seeking access is provided, along with an RFID reader which obtains approval, based on the multiple authentication factors and the RFID tag, to permit access to the moving vehicle.
