Abstract

An intelligent security system capable of sensing the presence of an object to be identified, interrogating the object with an encrypted code, and receiving and processing an encoded response from a passive transceiver carried by the object so that the intelligent security system can be utilized for controlling access to a location, performing inventory control, controlling toll access systems, operating multi-station complex machinery systems, or providing object locating information, for example. The intelligent security system is particularly characterized by its utilization of a totally passive transceiver including a transmit circuit which will only be activated upon receipt by the transceiver of a predetermined encrypted interrogation signal. In response to receipt of a proper interrogation signal, an encoded response signal is transmitted by the passive transceiver and then received, decoded and processed by other elements of the security system.
