Abstract

A data carrier intended to be worn by an individual for regulating the authorization of the individual into an access controlled location. The data carrier includes a sensor for monitoring a biometric feature of the individual. Internal to the data carrier is a chip in which previously read biometric data are stored. If the data read by the sensor are identical to the stored data, a read out device integral with the data carrier will broadcast a release signal.
