Abstract: From the prior art, access control devices are already known in which a distinction is made between a first detection device (2) and the actual access and access is enabled or not, on the basis of a comparison of the data detected by the first detection device (2) with the data detected again at the actual access lock (7). Starting from the prior art, the solution according to the invention proposes an expansion of the system such that modern Internet booking procedures are considered and furthermore the new possibilities of facial recognition are performed in a quasi manner as the last examination before access is enabled, and access is granted or rejected depending on the examination result, in other words the examination of a biometric feature. The invention can be used for a border crossing control device.
