Abstract:
A system and method for providing visual and/or aural notification to the last authorized user to leave a secure area, in which access to the area is based on an identification system that generates a signal when an authorized user entering or leaving the area has been identified. A counter, responsive to signals generated by the identification system, keeps track of the number of authorized users that have been authorized by the identification system to enter the area but have not yet been authorized by the identification system to leave the area. A warning device, responsive to the counter, generates a visual and/or aural message when the last person is authorized by the identification system to leave the area.
