  • Dynamically Configured User Interface for Access Control Systems
    Publication number: 20120050006
    Abstract: A system and method provide real-time configuration information as to a plurality of doors which are part of an access control system. Configuration information can be obtained for each one of a plurality of door of the system. That information can be forwarded to a requestor to provide a real-time representation of the status of the doors of the system and to enable the requestor to configure selected doors.

  • Heuristic and intuitive user interface for access control systems
    Patent number: 8095889
    Abstract: The present invention advantageously provides a method for interfacing an access control system and an input device, comprising the steps of displaying, on the input device, a set of choices from a plurality of choices, receiving one choice, and modifying the displayed set of choices based on the one choice, wherein modifying is performed by a heuristic method and/or a usage-based method. The heuristic method determines if one choice is a request for additional information, and, if it is, modifies the choices to include the additional information, and to exclude advanced and typical choices; and, if not, modifies the choices to include the advanced and typical choices. The usage-based method comprises incrementing a choice counter, if the counter is greater than multiple choices, modifying the choices to extra emphasize the choice, and if not, modifying the to emphasize the choice.
