A method, devices, and a system is proposed for configuring a security control system of a secure control area, the method comprising exchanging UWB transmission(s) between a mobile communication device and one or more access control devices of the security control system, determining location information of the mobile communication device within the secure control area, receiving, by the mobile communication device, one or more user inputs comprising one or more relationship indication(s) of one or more relationship(s) between the respective location(s) of the mobile communication device and one or more security perimeters of the secure control area; and generating layout information relating to a physical layout of the one or more security perimeters within the secure control area using the location information and the one or more relationship indications.

Access control configuring method and device

A method for supervising a control area comprising: a first tracking process using UWB detection device(s) and a second tracking process using secondary detection device(s). The first tracking process comprises: executing ultra-wideband transmissions with UWB-enabled authentication device(s); determining successive positions of the UWB-enabled authentication device(s); and determining movement trajectory(s) of the UWB-enabled authentication device(s) within the control area. The second tracking process comprises: detecting occupant(s) within the control area; determining successive positions of detected occupant(s) within the control area; and determining movement trajectory(s) of occupant(s) based on their successive positions. The movement trajectory(s) of the UWB-enabled authentication device(s) are correlated with the movement trajectory(s) of detected occupant(s). Based on the correlation, an association of UWB-enabled authentication device(s) with detected occupant(s) is generated.
