An access control system is described in which a primary credential device has a master key and a secondary credential device has a key derived from the master key. Both the master key and the derivative key are required to gain access to the resource protected by the access control system. If the secondary credential device is lost, misplaced, or stolen, it cannot be used to gain illicit access to the protected resource, and it can be easily replaced by providing a different secondary credential device with another key derived from the master key.

Wearable misplacement

A method and device for delivering one or more keys to an offline mobile communication device are provided. The method includes receiving the one or more keys from a backend issuance system, preparing the one or more keys for delivery to the offline mobile communication device via a short-to-medium communication channel, and transmitting the one or more keys to the offline mobile communication device via the short-to-medium range communication channel.

Systems and methods for updating a mobile device

Methods, devices, and systems are provided for providing continuous authentication to a user having a wearable device in an access control system. The wearable device allows the authentication of the user to be maintained until an authentication interruption signal is received. The interruption signal may be based on user biometrics, a state of the wearable device, a communication range of the wearable device with a trusted mobile device, and more. Upon receiving the interruption signal, the continuous authentication for the wearable device, and the user, may be revoked, destroyed, or disabled.

Continuous authentication

An access control system is described in which a credential may be authenticated and permitted to access a protected resource only after discovery of a second device. Requiring discovery of a second device prior to authentication enhances security by protecting against unauthorized access by an illicit user of a credential.

Wearable discovery for authentication

Method and devices for making access decisions in a secure access network are provided. The access decisions are made by one or more portable credentials using data and algorithms stored on or received by two or more credentials. Since access decisions are made by the portable credential or credentials, non-networked hosts or local hosts can be employed that do not necessarily need to be connected to a central access controller or database, thereby reducing the cost of building and maintaining the secure access network.

Method and apparatus for making a decision on a card

Methods, systems, and devices for managing energy consumption in multi-room facilities are provided. In particular, intelligent mechanisms for determining a location of a mobile device associated with a room and then for managing energy settings, especially setback controls, of that room are provided. Some logic for implementing these mechanisms may be provided in a mobile device and in-room device, such as a motion detector, thermostat, HVAC controller, door, lock, television, set top box, etc.

Controlling an operating condition of a thermostat

Methods, devices, and systems are provided for configuring a reading device and/or a lock using a mobile device. The mobile device, running a configuration application, communicates with the reading device, determines a configuration of the reading device, and makes a determination for configuring the reading device based at least partially on configuration information provided by the reading device.

Use of mobile device to configure a lock

Methods, devices, and systems are provided for performing and/or limiting features based on a determined motion associated with a portable device. When the portable device is determined to be in motion, a feature control application running on the portable device prevents at least one radio frequency identification (RFID) component of the device from communicating with RFID reading devices. When the portable device is still, or not in motion, the feature control application running on the portable device prevents the at least one RFID component of the device from communicating with RFID reading devices. Among other things, this feature control of a portable device can prevent theft of data in an access control system, credit payment system, and/or other data transfer system.

Based on motion of device, perform or limit features

An access control system comprising a reader configured to make an ingress or egress determination using information received from one or more mobile devices is described. The reader may be further configured to store information about ingress and egress events for analysis by a system administrator.

Using wearable to determine ingress or egress

Methods, systems, and devices for updating access permissions of users in an access control system are described. The access permissions are capable of being updated based on rules and thresholds that include as at least one variable presence or contextual information associated with a user. The presence or contextual information associated with a user may be analyzed to trigger a credential update process for that user or other users within the access control system.

Presence-based credential updating

Methods, systems, and devices for managing energy consumption in multi-room facilities are provided. In particular, intelligent mechanisms for determining a location of a mobile device () associated with a room () and then for managing energy settings, especially setback controls, of that room () are provided. Some logic for implementing these mechanisms may be provided in a mobile device () and in-room device, such as a motion detector, thermostat, HVAC controller, door, lock, television, set top box, etc.
