摘要

A cellular telephone operated access control system and methodology including an automatic gate (10), a gate operating subsystem (34), a cellular communication subsystem (38), at least one remotely identifiable remote cellular terminal (14) employing terminal identification information uniquely associated with the remote cellular terminal (14) and an access-permitting database (36) associated with the gate operating subsystem (34) and comprising at least one remote cellular terminal identification information wherein the gate operating subsystem (34) receives the terminal identification information from the remote terminal (14) via the cellular communication subsystem (38), verifies that the access-permitting database (36) contains this terminal identification information and then operates the automatic gate accordingly.
