System and Methods for Location-Aware Access. This invention describes a system in which a card reader captures access credentials, a timestamp, and location coordinates, then sends them to a controller. The controller uses this information to authenticate the card and, if authentication succeeds, trigger the mechanism that unlocks the corresponding access point.

Building Access Using a Mobile Device. This invention describes a mobile device determining its location using signals from a wireless access point and sending that location, along with a unique IMEI-based identifier, to the access system. The door unlocks when the device is within a specified proximity and the identifier is associated with a user who has access rights.
