Description

Procédé de validation d'un objet portable et système de contrSle d'accès payant à un lieu privé à l'aide d'un objet portable ainsi validé. Method for validating a portable object and paid access control system to a private place using a portable object thus validated.
La présente invention concerne un procédé de validation d'un objet portable et un système de contrôle d'accès payant à un lieu privé à l'aide d'un objet portable ainsi validé.The present invention relates to a method for validating a portable object and to a paid access control system at a private location using a portable object thus validated.
On connaît déjà divers types de tels systèmes de contrôle, fondés sur l'utilisation d'un objet portable tel qu'une carte comportant des informations permettant l'identification de son titulaire. Ces informations peuvent être mémorisées sous la forme de codes à barres, de pistes magnétiques ou de mémoires électroniques. Si le code à barres peut être lu à distance par un lecteur approprié, la carte munie de ce code présente toutefois l'inconvénient de ne pas être interactive. , Cette interactivité existe par contre dans le cas des pistes magnétiques ou des mémoires électroniques, mais il est alors nécessaire d'introduire la carte dans le lecteur pour extraire des informations ou en inscrire sur la mémoire. Ces lecteurs requièrent en effet un couplage magnétique ou par contact électrique avec la carte, dé sorte que l'échange d'informations ne peut se faire à distance.Various types of such control systems are already known, based on the use of a portable object such as a card containing information allowing the identification of its holder. This information can be stored in the form of bar codes, magnetic strips or electronic memories. If the bar code can be read remotely by an appropriate reader, the card provided with this code has the disadvantage of not being interactive. On the other hand, this interactivity exists in the case of magnetic tracks or electronic memories, but it is then necessary to introduce the card into the reader to extract information or to write it in the memory. These readers require magnetic coupling or electrical contact with the card, so that the exchange of information cannot be done remotely.
Par ailleurs, se pose le problème de la validation de l'objet portable et de l'authentification de son porteur.Furthermore, there is the problem of validating the portable object and authenticating its holder.
Ce problème est essentiel, en particulier lorsqu'il s'agit d'un contrôle d'accès payant, puisqu'il y a lieu non seulement de vérifier le crédit dont dispose le porteur et d'incré enter ce crédit, mais également de s'assurer préalablement à l'utilisation de l'objet portable que son porteur est bien la personne ayant crédité le compte correspondant à cet objet. La présente invention vise à résoudre ce problème en fournissant un procédé de validation de l'objet portable ainsi qu'un système interactif dans lequel les informations sont échangées à distance.This problem is essential, in particular when it comes to paying access control, since it is necessary not only to check the credit available to the holder and to enter this credit, but also s '' ensure before using the portable object that its holder is the person who credited the account corresponding to this object. The present invention aims to solve this problem by providing a method of validating the portable object and an interactive system in which information is exchanged remotely.
A cet effet l'invention a tout d'abord pour objet un procédé de validation d'un objet portable comportant une information de crédit, tel qu'une carte à mémoire, caractérisé par le fait qu'il comprend les étapes consistant à appliquer sur ledit objet une information biométrique concernant le porteur auquel il est destiné, à mémoriser sur l'objet portable le montant du crédit correspondant à un paiement effectué par le porteur, à placer 5 ledit objet dans un dispositif de lecture susceptible de lire ladite information biométrique appliquée sur la carte et l'information correspondante du porteur et de comparer ces deux informations, et à valider l'objet portable en cas de concordance entre ces deux informations.To this end, the invention firstly relates to a method of validating a portable object comprising credit information, such as a memory card, characterized by the fact that it comprises the steps consisting in applying to said object biometric information relating to the carrier for which it is intended, in memorizing on the portable object the amount of credit corresponding to a payment made by the carrier, in placing said object in a reading device capable of reading said biometric information applied to the card and the corresponding information of the holder and of comparing these two pieces of information, and of validating the portable object in the event of agreement between these two pieces of information.
10 Un tel procédé peut trouver une application particulièrement utile par exemple dans le cas des centres de loisirs.Such a method can find a particularly useful application, for example in the case of leisure centers.
Dans ce cas, lorsque le client effectue une réservation il fournit comme à l'habitude un certain nombre de renseignementsIn this case, when the customer makes a reservation, he provides certain information as usual
- - et paye une certaine somme en échange des services qui lui seront fournis ultérieurement. Selon l'invention, on mémorise alors sur un objet portable tel qu'une carte à mémoire une information biométrique concernant le client, par exemple sous la forme d'une empreinte digitale appliquée à l'encre infrarouge sur une carte à- - and pay a certain amount in exchange for the services which will be provided to it subsequently. According to the invention, biometric information relating to the client is then stored on a portable object such as a memory card, for example in the form of a fingerprint applied to infrared ink on a card.
20 mémoire vierge.20 blank memory.
Après vérification des informations fournies par le client et de la validité du payement effectué, le montant du crédit peut alors être mémorisé sur la carte qui est alors retournée au client mais sous forme inerte. 5 Ce n'est que lorsque le client se présente à l'entrée du centre de loisirs ou de tout autre lieu privé à accès payant qu'il place la carte dans un dispositif de lecture susceptible de lire l'empreinte digitale appliquée sur la carte et de lire également directement sa propre empreinte digitale et de comparer ces deux 0 empreintes, pour alors valider la carte en cas de concordance entre les deux informations.After checking the information provided by the customer and the validity of the payment made, the amount of the credit can then be stored on the card which is then returned to the customer but in inert form. 5 It is only when the customer presents himself at the entrance to the leisure center or any other private place with paid access that he places the card in a reading device capable of reading the fingerprint applied to the card and also to directly read one's own fingerprint and to compare these two 0 fingerprints, in order to then validate the card in the event of concordance between the two pieces of information.
Dans un mode de mise en oeuvre particulier du procédé selon l'invention, la validation consiste en la mémorisation sur l'objet portable et sur une unité centrale de traitement d'une 5 fréquence de transmission attribuée a cet objet portable'pour échanger des informations avec cette unité centrale. Le porteur de la carte pourra alors se déplacer à l'intérieur du lieu privé où des échanges d'informations auront lieu entre la carte et l'unité centrale, celle-ci provoquant une incrémentation du crédit disponible au fur et à mesure des déplacements de l'utilisateur ou encore au fur et à mesure du temps passé dans ce lieu privé.In a particular implementation of the method according to the invention, the validation consists in memorizing on the portable object and on a central processing unit a transmission frequency allocated to this portable object in order to exchange information. with this central unit. The card holder will then be able to move inside the private place where information exchanges will take place between the card and the central unit, this causing an increase in the available credit as and when the user or as time passes in this private place.
On peut également prévoir qu'après usage dudit objet portable, le porteur le replace sur un dispositif de lecture susceptible de lire la même information biométrique toujours appliquée sur la carte et l'information correspondante de son porteur et de comparer ces deux informations, après quoi le crédit restant est restitué au porteur et l'objet portable est inhibé en cas de concordance entre ces deux informations.It is also possible to provide that after using said portable object, the wearer replaces it on a reading device capable of reading the same biometric information always applied to the card and the corresponding information of its wearer and of comparing these two pieces of information, after which the remaining credit is returned to the bearer and the portable object is inhibited in the event of agreement between these two pieces of information.
La présente invention a également pour objet un système de contrôle d'accès payant à un lieu privé à l'aide d'un objet portable validé par le procédé décrit ci-dessus caractérisé par le fait qu'il comprend en combinaison :The present invention also relates to a paid access control system to a private place using a portable object validated by the method described above, characterized in that it comprises in combination:
- un poste fixe placé à l'entrée dudit lieu privé et muni d'un émetteur de rayonnement optique et d'un émetteur-récepteur de rayonnement hertzien susceptible d'émettre et de recevoir sur ladite fréquence de transmission, et- a fixed station placed at the entrance to said private place and fitted with an optical radiation transmitter and a radio radiation transmitter-receiver capable of transmitting and receiving on said transmission frequency, and
- ledit objet portable muni d'un émetteur-récepteur agencé pour coopérer sur ladite fréquence de transmission avec ledit émetteur-récepteur du poste fixe, un transducteur agencé pour convertir ledit rayonnement optique en énergie électrique pour alimenter les circuits de l'objet portable, une mémoire électronique, une unité de traitement, et une mémoire contenant des informations de crédit susceptibles d'être incrémentées par l'unité de traitement en fonction de signaux reçus par l'émetteur-récepteur de l'objet portable.- said portable object provided with a transceiver arranged to cooperate on said transmission frequency with said transceiver of the fixed station, a transducer arranged to convert said optical radiation into electrical energy to supply the circuits of the portable object, a electronic memory, a processing unit, and a memory containing credit information capable of being incremented by the processing unit as a function of signals received by the transceiver of the portable object.
Bien entendu, des postes fixes peuvent être placés en différents emplacements du lieu privé pour incrémenter les informations de crédit contenues par l'objet portable au fur et à mesure des différents endroits visités par le porteur à l'intérieur de ce lieu privé.Of course, fixed stations can be placed in different locations of the private place to increment the credit information contained by the portable object as and when the different places visited by the wearer inside this private place.
Ladite mémoire peut notamment également contenir des informations sur le titulaire de l'objet portable, auquel cas le systême selon l'invention peut comprendre un organe commandé par le poste fixe en fonction de ces informations transmises par les émetteurs-récepteurs.Said memory may in particular also contain information on the holder of the portable object, in which case the system according to the invention may include a member controlled by the fixed station as a function of this information transmitted by the transceivers.
On décrira maintenant à titre d'exemple non limitatif un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :A particular embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of nonlimiting example with reference to the appended drawings in which:
La figure 1 est un organigramme général du procédé selon l'invention, etFIG. 1 is a general flow diagram of the method according to the invention, and
La figure 2 illustre schématiquement un système d'accès payant selon l'invention.Figure 2 schematically illustrates a paid access system according to the invention.
Comme montré à la figure l, lorsqu'un utilisateur tel qu'un client d'un centre de loisirs effectue une réservation, une carte à mémoire vierge l est introduite dans un dispositif 2 permettant la lecture de l'empreinte digitale du client et son impression sur la carte. Cette carte ressort donc du dispositif 2 sous la forme d'une carte l' munie de l'empreinte digitale du client.As shown in FIG. 1, when a user such as a customer of a leisure center makes a reservation, a blank memory card 1 is inserted into a device 2 allowing the reading of the customer's fingerprint and its printing on the card. This card therefore emerges from the device 2 in the form of a card l provided with the customer's fingerprint.
Simultanément ou postérieurement, le client fournit un certain nombre de renseignements et effectue le paiement correspondant aux prestations souhaitées.Simultaneously or later, the client provides a certain amount of information and makes the payment corresponding to the desired services.
Après que ces informations ont été vérifiées et que le crédit a été assuré, le montant de ce crédit est porté en 3 sur la carte qui est restituée par tout moyen convenable à l'utilisateur.After this information has been verified and the credit has been assured, the amount of this credit is entered in 3 on the card which is returned by any means convenient to the user.
Celui-ci dispose alors d'une carte 1" portant son empreinte digitale et contenant en mémoire certaines informations le concernant, ainsi qu'un certain crédit.The latter then has a 1 "card bearing his fingerprint and containing certain information concerning him in memory, as well as a certain amount of credit.
Lorsque l'utilisateur se présente à l'entrée du lieu privé à accès payant, il place la carte l" dans un dispositif 4 permettant de lire d'une part sa propre empreinte digitale et d'autre part celle imprimée sur la carte 1" et de comparer le résultat des deux lectures.When the user presents himself at the entrance to the private place with paying access, he places the card l "in a device 4 making it possible to read on the one hand his own fingerprint and on the other hand that printed on the card 1" and compare the result of the two readings.
Si ces résultats sont concordants la carte est validée en 5 par attribution et mémorisation d'une fréquence de transmission entre la carte et un émetteur-récepteur qui sera décrit ci-après. La carte ressort par conséquent du dispositif 5'sous la forme d'une carte 1"' validée, c'est-à-dire comportant l'empreinte digitale de l'utilisateur, des informations le concernant, un certain crédit et une fréquence de transmission lui permettant d'échanger des informations avec un émetteur-récepteur sur lequel elle est accordée.If these results are consistent, the card is validated in 5 by allocation and storage of a transmission frequency between the card and a transceiver which will be described below. The card therefore emerges from the device 5 'in the form of a validated 1 "card, that is to say comprising the user's fingerprint, information concerning, a certain credit and a frequency of transmission allowing it to exchange information with a transceiver on which it is granted.
Si l'on se réfère maintenant à la figure 2, on voit qu'un système selon l'invention de contrôle d'accès payant à un lieu privé comprend pour l'essentiel un poste fixe il, la carte l''', et un organe commandé 13 tel qu'une porte, un sas ou une grille.Referring now to FIG. 2, it can be seen that a system according to the invention for paying access control to a private place essentially comprises a fixed station il, the card l '' ', and a controlled member 13 such as a door, an airlock or a grid.
Le poste fixe II comprend un émetteur-récepteur hertzien 14, un émetteur de rayonnement optique 15 tel qu'un laser à infrarouge, et une unité centrale 16 couplée à l'émetteur-récepteur 14.The fixed station II comprises a radio transceiver 14, an optical radiation transmitter 15 such as an infrared laser, and a central unit 16 coupled to the transceiver 14.
La carte l''' comporte un transducteur 17, par exemple une cellule photoélectrique, agencé pour transformer en énergie électrique le rayonnement reçu de l'émetteur 15. Le transducteur 17 alimente ainsi l'ensemble des circuits de la carte l''1, éventuellement par l'intermédiaire d'un circuit de régulation de tension.The card l '''comprises a transducer 17, for example a photoelectric cell, arranged to transform into electrical energy the radiation received from the emitter 15. The transducer 17 thus feeds all the circuits of the card l'' 1 , possibly via a voltage regulation circuit.
Une antenne 18 est montée sur la carte et est reliée à un circuit émetteur-récepteur 19 qui peut ainsi échanger des informations avec l'émetteur-récepteur 14 du poste fixe 11.An antenna 18 is mounted on the card and is connected to a transceiver circuit 19 which can thus exchange information with the transceiver 14 of the fixed station 11.
L'émetteur 19 est connecté à une unité de traitement 20 associée à une mémoire électronique 2i.The transmitter 19 is connected to a processing unit 20 associated with an electronic memory 2i.
La mémoire 2i contient diverses informations et notamment des informations permettant l'identification du titulaire de la carte 1"' et, d'autre part, des informations sur le crédit de ce titulaire.The memory 2i contains various information and in particular information allowing the identification of the holder of the card 1 "'and, on the other hand, information on the credit of this holder.
Lorsque le porteur de la carte l' " arrive à proximité du poste de contrôle fixe il, les circuits de la carte sont activés par l'émetteur 15 et le transducteur 17. L'unité centrale 16 extrait alors de la mémoire 21, par l'intermédiaire des émetteurs-récepteurs 14 et 19, et de l'unité de traitement 20, les informations nécessaires permettant l'identification du porteur de la carte. Si celui-ci est habilité à pénétrer dans l'enceinte fermée par l'organe 13, l'unité centrale 16 provoque alors l'ouverture de cet organe. Simultaπément, l'unité centrale 16 incrémente la mémoire 21 du prix d'accès, également par l'intermédiaire des émetteurs 14 et 19 et de l'unité de traitement 20.When the card holder l "arrives near the fixed control station il, the circuits of the card are activated by the transmitter 15 and the transducer 17. The central unit 16 then extracts from memory 21, by l intermediary of the transceivers 14 and 19, and of the processing unit 20, the necessary information allowing the identification of the card holder. If he is authorized to enter the enclosure closed by the member 13 , the central unit 16 then causes the opening of this member. Simultaneously, the central unit 16 increments the memory 21 by the access price, also through the transmitters 14 and 19 and the processing unit 20.
Le système selon l'invention pour être notamment utilisé pour contrôler l'accès payant à un lieu privé, mais également pour déclencher tout dispositif sur le passage du porteur de la carte et, par exemple, pour émettre tout message sonore ou visuel. The system according to the invention to be used in particular to control paid access to a private place, but also to trigger any device on the passage of the card holder and, for example, to transmit any sound or visual message.
