Claims
1
A security system for controlling the access of a user to an asset, comprising a password-protected access interface and asset access means, the access interface comprising means for receiving user credentials comprising a password, wherein the access interface accepts user credentials in which the password is one of a recognized primary password and one or more recognized secondary passwords, the asset access means being operably associated with the access interface such that when the accepted user credentials comprise the primary password, the asset access means provides access to the asset, and when the accepted user credentials comprise one of the one or more secondary passwords, the asset access means provides relatively limited or feigned access to the asset, and when the user credentials do not comprise one of the primary password and the one or more secondary passwords, the asset access means denies access to the asset.
Relevance
The System Manager 2000 is a security system that controls access to a house.
The master security code corresponds to the primary password (page 25).
The babysitter security code corresponds to the secondary password (page 25).
The duress code provides feigned access to the house (page 25) by making it look like it disarms the alarm, but in reality the system calls the police.
If you provide a nonrecognized security code, the system does not respond -- e.g., denying access to turning off the alarm for the house.
