  • Publication number: 20110167727
    Abstract: A gate apparatus identifies whether a person is authorized to pass through, and allows the identified person to pass through. The gate apparatus obtains information about a shape of the person who is allowed to pass through. The gate apparatus restricts at least frontward and rearward travel of the person traveling from an entrance to an exit of a passageway in the gate apparatus to form space defined within the passageway, and is capable of adjusting a shape of the defined space based on the obtained shape information of the individual person.
