  • Patent number: 9489783
    Abstract: A door system includes a door frame, at least one door leaf and a door drive with a control unit. The door leaf is equipped with a hand vein scanner for detecting the hand vein profile when a hand is held a distance in front of the hand vein scanner for recognizing the user. A programmable computer with a memory element, in which a plurality of user hand vein profiles can be stored, is housed in the interior of the door leaf. A hand vein profile is compared to the hand vein profiles stored in the memory of the computer and, depending on a match, the door is opened or not. The computer is programmed and supplied with power via a network interface that terminates in the edge of the door leaf or the peripheral area and is the only interface between the door leaf and the door frame, other than a signal cable for the control unit for the door drive. The computer can be programmed by temporarily connecting an external computer to this network interface.
