Systems, devices, and methods for access control and identification of user devices

Abstract

Disclosed systems and methods provide access control and/or identification of user devices. A method may include receiving, by a processor circuit on a user's mobile device, a first user-profile including one or more first access rules governing the user's access rights to a point-of-entry device during non-emergency situations. The method may further include receiving, in response to an emergency event, a second user-profile including one or more second access rules governing the user's access rights to the point-of-entry device during emergency situations. When the user attempts to gain access to the point-of-entry device, the method may include determining a decision to grant or deny access to the point-of-entry device based on the first or second user-profile during non-emergency and emergency situations, respectively. Lastly the method may include transmitting the decision to grant or deny access to the point-of-entry device.
