Abstract: The system has an authorizing device, such as a cellular telephone, and a mechanism for receiving information related to a particular facility and the user's access rights based on the location of the authorizing device. The authorizing device is placed in proximity to a secured portal. The user is required to authenticate theirself to the authorizing device via biometric and/or a PIN. The authorizing device then sends a signal to a locking device associated with the secured portal.

Abstract: A method and system for detecting potential intrusion includes a plurality of objects that can be potentially touched, such as a door handle. A sensor is associated with the object that can be potentially touched for determining if the object has been touched. The system has a control system for receiving information from the plurality of sensors and a database for collecting information regarding potential intrusions. The system has an intrusion detection system for analyzing the relative time and location of the object to be touched for analyzing the data gathered to determine patterns and variations from the patterns. An operator is notified of potential intrusions.

Abstract: A method and system for monitoring access requests for physical access to a location includes a plurality of access control devices for control accessing to specific locations. The system determines if access is authorized based on comparing information associated with the request with a database. Access is granted to a physical location based on the comparison of information. In addition, the system compares an access request to prior access requests. The system determines if the access request is an anomaly from previous requests. If the access request is an anomaly from previous requests, the system notifies an operator that the access request is an anomaly.
