Patent number: 12367722Abstract: An access control terminal includes guidance members to establish an access lane having a signal- or blocking element and a multi-beam phased antenna array. An electronic gate controller is connected to the multi-beam phased antenna array to communicate via Bluetooth protocol with mobile Bluetooth communication devices. A proximity sensor is arranged within the access lane to detect a patron approaching an entry area of the access lane, and the gate controller is configured to enable data input supplied by the Bluetooth protocol via the multi beam phased antenna array after the proximity sensor indicates the presence of a patron to request transmission of the access credentials from the smartphone. The gate controller is configured to command the signal- or blocking element to move to the open state if the access credentials are validated and the field strength indicator (RSSI) values are within predefined limits.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2023Date of Patent: July 22, 2025Assignee: AXESS AGInventors: Christian Windhager, Oliver Suter, Daniel Wakounig, Josef Fischer

Patent number: 12367723Abstract: A device for checking access permissions includes an access area with guidance devices for forming an access lane for separating people or objects, in which blocking and/or signal means define an access threshold. A gate controller having a Bluetooth radio interface allows an access permission to be read from mobile data carriers, and positive validation of the access permission results in the access controller releasing the blocking and/or signal means and thus allowing separate passage through the access threshold. An access lane has an associated multiphase antenna group, the transmission/reception antennas of which are actuated by a Bluetooth transceiver module via an antenna feed network in such a way that at least two antenna lobes form that are at different distances from the access threshold as seen in the direction of access.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2023Date of Patent: July 22, 2025Assignee: AXESS AGInventors: Christian Windhager, Oliver Suter, Daniel Wakounig, Josef Fischer, Stoyan Iliev, Volker Schoenig, Thomas Brunner

Patent number: 8827155Abstract: An access control gate with a mechanical guide forms one or more access lanes for patrons. A contactless access reader which is connected to a software controlled verification system identifies access right of patrons shortly before the person approaches a gate threshold formed by two motor driven flaps which when closed protrude into the access lane from left and right of the lateral lane boundaries. A verification system activates the flaps when an access right has been granted. Two or more photoelectric barriers define a detection zone behind the gate threshold and detect the passage of patrons through the gate threshold and the exit of the detection zone. The flaps are closed with highest possible speed after the patron has left the detection zone regularly, and are moved with low speed if an irregular passage is detected.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2011Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Axess AGInventors: Wolfram Kocznar, Josef Fischer

Two or more photoelectric barriers detect the passage of patrons through the gate threshold, wherein the detecting beams are spaced apart by between 1 and 10 inches and directed to the lane zone behind the gate threshold. The flaps are closed after the patron has passed through.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2008Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Assignee: Axess AGInventors: Wolfram Kocznar, Josef Fischer

Publication number: 20090032585Abstract: An access control gate with a mechanical guidance forms one or more access lanes for patrons. First electronic means include a contactless access reader which is connected to a software controlled verification system to identify the access right of patrons, second means comprise two motor driven flaps which protrude from left and right of the lateral lane boundaries into the access lane thereby forming the closed gate threshold 4. The contactless access reader is arranged to capture the access right of the approaching patron short before he approaches the gate threshold 4. The verification system 13 activates the flaps 7 and 7? when an access right has been approved to swing out of the lane A to indicate to the approaching patron the granted access right.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2008Publication date: February 5, 2009Applicant: Axess AGInventors: Wolfram KOCZNAR, Josef FISCHER
