A method for locating at least one access control apparatus within an access control system is provided. The method includes transmitting, through a wired connection, the wired connection being between a controller and at least one access control apparatus, a signal comprising at least one access control apparatus instruction to at least one of a first access control apparatus and a second access control apparatus, and performing at least one response (ex. emitting a sound and/or light) by at least one of the first access control apparatus and the second access control apparatus. The signal, in certain instances, may be sent from the controller (ex. initiated by software installed on the controller), or from a handheld device (ex. patching into the wired connection). By performing this response, a user is more easily able to locate at least one of the first access control apparatus and the second access control apparatus.

Access control apparatus locator

A method to determine user intent for an access control including sensing biometrics data from a body-worn device; sensing biometrics data at an access control; comparing the biometrics data from the body-worn device and the access control; and determining a user intent to access the access control in response to the comparing.

Body-worn device for capturing user intent when interacting with multiple access controls

A method and apparatus for mixed-mode cloud/on-premise secure communication. The method includes commissioning an on-premise device, and connecting to web address via a client web browser using a name and a log in credential of a user; and verifying a login credential of a user at a cloud-based service and establishing communication with the client web browser if the login credential is authenticated, then permitting communication between the client web browser and the cloud based service.

Mixed-mode cloud on-premise secure communication

A method for providing a user system access to a resource includes obtaining configuration data identifying devices at the user system; receiving a request from the user system for access to a resource; applying a function to the configuration data to generate a current fingerprint; comparing the current fingerprint to a reference fingerprint associated with the resource; determining a degree of similarity between the current fingerprint and the reference fingerprint; and granting access to the resource in response to the degree of similarity between the current fingerprint and the reference fingerprint.
