DUAL LEVEL HUMAN IDENTIFICATION AND LOCATION SYSTEM

摘要

Systems and methods for controlling access to a Restricted Area ("RA"). The methods involve: determining whether a person desires to enter RA: checking whether the person is authorized to enter RA using a first unique identifier associated with a wearable access sensor being worn thereby; causing the person's Portable Communication Device ("PCD") to transmit a second unique identifier and location information useful in determining the PCD's location within a surrounding environment, when a determination is made that the person is authorized to enter RA; using the second unique identifier and location information to confirm that the person is currently located at an access point of RA; and causing actuation of a. mechanical actuator to enable the person's entrance into RA when it is determined that the person desires to enter RA, the person is authorized to enter RA, and the person is currently located at the access point of RA.
