Voice communication connectivity device

Access control device

The present disclosure presents wall-mounted near field communication systems and related methods. One such system comprises a sign assembly having a near field communication (NFC) tag comprising a first conducting member, a substrate assembly having a weakness area, wherein the substrate assembly comprises a plastic substrate; and first adhesive securing the NFC tag device to the substrate assembly such that the first conducting member is disposed proximate the weakness area.

Wall-mounted NFC device that self disables upon removal

This disclosure describes an electronic device that can be installed within an access control system in parallel with a legacy interface device. The electronic device may perform steps of determining a set of configuration settings associated with an access control system to which the electronic device is electrically connected, receiving, by the electronic device, a first signal in a format associated with the access control system, configuring, based on the set of configuration settings, one or more signal pathways within the electronic device, generating, by routing the first signal through the one or more signal pathways, a second signal in a second format, and providing the second signal to at least one second electronic device.

With respect to a package delivery system configured to optimize efficiencies associated with package delivery, a server computing device may monitor locations and conditions associated with a fleet of vehicles. A vehicle including a first delivery person may be dispatched with packages for delivery. The server computing device may provide updated delivery routes based on traffic and/or other conditions in the environment. At the completion of a work shift associated with the first delivery person, the vehicle may be parked at a location proximate the delivery route. The server computing device may dispatch a second delivery person to the location. Based on an indication that the second delivery person is proximate the vehicle, the server computing device may cause a user interface to surface on a computing device of the second delivery person, enabling the second delivery person to unlock the vehicle and continue delivering the packages.

Optimized package delivery

Embodiments herein describe a beacon that is used to verify a location of a user and provide access to a secure location (e.g., a locked building). The beacon includes a radio frequency reader which communicates with a tag (e.g., an NFC or RFID tag) disposed on a same surface as the beacon. For example, the beacon may cover the tag on the surface (e.g., a wall next to a locked door or access point into the secure location). The reader in the beacon can periodically perform a read cycle to identify the presence of the tag to ensure the beacon has not been removed. If during one or more cycles the reader does not detect the tag, the beacon can deactivate the beacon and no longer transmit the location verification code.

Tamper detection for beacons using radio frequency tags

Described herein is a system and remote server that may enable a user device to gain access to a secure physical area or physical resource. The remote server may generate, store, and send a first access token to a user device in response to a request to access the physical area or physical resource. The remote server can receive an authentication request from a universal access control device at the location of the physical area or physical resource. The authentication request can contain a second access token and location information of the user device. The remote server can verify the second access token by comparing it to the stored first access token and location information about the access control device. Upon authentication and verification, the user device may gain entry to the secure area.

Time-bound secure access

An access control device is described. The access control device may store a credential in the memory of the access control device. The access control device may receive an access token from a user device via a wireless receiver. The access token may be different from the credential. The access device may verify the authenticity of the access token by sending the access token information to a server. The access control device may receive an indication from the server that the token is valid. The access control device may send the credential to a reader device of the access control system managing access to a physical secure area.

Universal access control device

Described herein is a system for controlling access to a physical location. In some embodiments, a user device may provide user credentials to an input device of the access system. The input device may transmit the user credentials to a splitter, in some examples, permit access to the physical location via an access control board. In other examples, the input device may transmit the user credentials from a splitter to a network-connected gateway and then permit access to the physical location via the access control board. In either example, the power and signal wires may be reused for the splitter and/or network-connected gateway. The access control board may be coupled with an electrically-controlled device and configured to allow access to the physical location with one or more electronic signals to the electrically-controlled device. The electrically-controlled device may allow access when the user credentials are authenticated by the system.

Integrated access control system

Described herein is a system and universal access control device that may be installed in proximity to, or within, an access control system to enable a user to use a user device to gain access to a secure area or resource. In some embodiments, a user may submit a request for access to a remote server and may be provided with an access token. The user may relay the received access token to the universal access device via a wireless transmission means on his or her user device. The universal access device may verify the authenticity of the access token by relaying the access token information to the remote server. Once the access token has been authenticated, the universal access control device may retrieve a credential stored in memory and provide that credential to the access control system to enable the user to gain entry to a secure area.

Described herein is a system and universal access control device that may enable a user device to gain access to a secure area or resource during a particular time duration. In some embodiments, a user device may relay a received access token to the universal access device via a wireless transmission at a particular time. The universal access device may verify the authenticity of the access token by relaying the access token information to the remote server, which may authenticate the user device and verify that the user device is permitted access at the particular time. Upon authentication and verification, the user may gain entry to the secure area.
