Embodiments of the present application generally relate to controlling ingress/egress through entryway devices. More particularly, but not exclusively, embodiments of the present invention relate to attaining confirmation of intent relating to access to a controlled opening. According to certain embodiments, the credential device and/or the user of the credential device is prompted to provide a response, or otherwise is to perform certain actions, that can demonstrate a confirmation of intent to gain access to the controlled opening. Such responses and/or actions can be evaluated to determine authority to gain access to the controlled opening. Further, such intent confirmation events may, depending on the embodiment, be performed before or after credential information is communicated from the credential device and/or before or after pairing of the access control device and the credential device. According to other embodiments, intent may be confirmed, at least in part, based on changes in the characteristics of signals communicated from the credential device.

Wireless credential proximity control

A system and method for the management of electronic credentials stored on mobile devices. The system may encrypt information that is provided to a lock device and an access control system using diversification keys. The diversification keys may be generated by supplying a master key and a component identifier such as, for example, a mobile device identifier, to a diversification algorithm. The mobile device may be a conduit for the communication of information between the access control system and the lock device. The mobile device may be unable to decrypt information that has been encrypted by a diversification key. Embodiments also provide for enrolling administrative mobile devices with the access control system, the distribution and revocation of credential identifiers for user mobile device, and removing administrative mobile devices that are enrolled with lock devices.

Electronic credential management system

A credential for use in an access control system may include a first sector including first data of a first database type, and a second sector including second data of a second database type. The credential may further include a third sector including third data related to the second data. The first database type and the second database type may be different types.

Systems and methods for a credential including multiple access privileges

An access control device that at least assists in controlling the ingress/egress through an entryway. According to certain embodiments, the access control device is operably coupled to an entryway device so as to at least assist in controlling the ability to displace an entryway device from a closed position and/or from an open position. The access control device is structured for communication with a plurality of components of a security management system, and thus may be programmed by one or more modes, including, for example a manual program mode, an off-line managed mode, a wireless off-line management mode, a wireless real-time mode, and/or an off-line real-time mode.

Multifunctional access control device

A server may receive information from a computer, store the information in a database at the server, determine a reader device that is configured to receive and/or process credential information and/or a unique identifier and to receive the information based on an analysis of the information, select one or more mobile devices to deliver the information to the reader, and transmit data to the one or more mobile devices where the data includes at least a portion of the information.

Cloud-based wireless communication system and method for updating a reader device

An access control device that at least assists in controlling the ingress/egress through an entryway. According to certain embodiments, the access control device is operably coupled to an entryway device so as to at least assist in controlling the ability to displace an entryway device from a closed positon and/or from an open position. The access control device is structured for communication with a plurality of components of a security management system, and thus may be programmed by one or more modes, including, for example a manual program mode, an off-line managed mode, a wireless off-line management mode, a wireless real-time mode, and/or an off-line real-time mode.

A credential for use in an access control system may include a first sector including first data of a first database type, and a second sector including second data of a second database type. The credential may further include a third sector including third data related to the second data. The first database type and the second database type may he different types.

A wireless access control system is provided including an electronic lock, a wireless transport device configured for wireless communication with a network and with the electronic lock and having access privilege to the electronic lock, and wherein the wireless transport device is configured to wirelessly receive data from the network, to wirelessly deliver the data to the electronic lock, and to verify to the network that the data has been successfully transferred to the electronic lock. In one embodiment, the wireless transport device is a cellular phone. A method is also provided including transporting data wirelessly from a network to a plurality of cellular phones having access privileges to an electronic lock, and delivering the data to the electronic lock wirelessly using at least one of the cellular phones.
