Abstract

A security system incorporating a reasoning system and security rules and processes. Transponders may be triggered and sensed from a distance to identify both items and individuals. These sensed identifiers are processed by the reasoning system to determine whether each identified item is authorized to be removed from or brought into a secured location by the identified individual. The system modifies and optimizes its rules and processes based on assessments of security events. The security system enforces these security rules and receives feedback from authorized security personnel. A learning system is configured to modify existing rules or create new rules in conformance with the feedback from the authorized security personnel.
