Abstract
Disclosed is a method, apparatus, and system to control the unlocking of an entry for a guest having a wireless device by an owner access point. A virtual key for a wireless device and an access control rule associated with the virtual key may be stored at the owner access point. The owner access point may determine whether a virtual key received from a wireless device matches the stored virtual key and whether the access control rule for the stored virtual key is satisfied. If the virtual key matches, and the access control rule for the stored virtual key is satisfied, the owner access point may transmit an open command to the entry.
