Abstract: An embodiment of an access control system is disclosed herein that is easily customized by a user. A user defines cardholders, clearance levels, and logic scripts that dictate how the system will operate. User-entered changes propagate through the system automatically. The disclosed embodiment includes personality modules coupled to both field devices and a server. However, the personality modules operate autonomously from the server. Personality modules can also be added to the system dynamically and are auto-configuring. Display modules may also be included for locally and remotely programming, testing, managing, and operating personality modules and field devices. The system may include an intelligent display station that includes a reader and a display, displaying information in an interactive user interface in accordance with an individual's clearance level. Because the personality modules contain their own operating system, they can execute applications that allow direct interface to third-party systems.

Abstract translation: 本文公开了一种访问控制系统的实施例，其易于由用户定制。 用户定义了持卡人，清除级别和逻辑脚本，这些脚本决定了系统的运行方式。 用户输入的更改会自动通过系统传播。 所公开的实施例包括耦合到现场设备和服务器的个性模块。 然而，个性化模块从服务器自主运行。 个性化模块也可以动态添加到系统中，并进行自动配置。 还可以包括显示模块用于本地和远程编程，测试，管理和操作个性化模块和现场设备。 该系统可以包括智能显示台，其包括读取器和显示器，根据个人的间隙级别在交互式用户界面中显示信息。 因为个性模块包含自己的操作系统，所以他们可以执行允许与第三方系统直接连接的应用程序。
