Abstract

A method and system for adaptive power saving for a multiple technology credential reader may provide improved credential reader power management. The multiple technology credential reader may poll for a first credential type using a first credential radio within the plurality of credential radios. The multiple technology credential reader may discover a first device associated with the first credential type within a radio frequency range of the first credential radio and may cause, responsive to discovering the first device, a second credential radio associated with a second credential type to enter a low power mode. The multiple technology credential reader may determine the first device is positioned within a close proximity threshold range of the multiple technology credential reader, and may authorize a credential access (e.g., physical access, logical access) for the first device responsive to determining the first device is positioned within the close proximity threshold range.

Abstract

A system for communicating with a physical access control (PAC) reader device is described. The system transmits, by a mobile device, a calibration request to calibrate a tap distance for a PAC reader device. The system receives input indicating that a current position of the mobile device corresponds to a desired tap distance and, in response, computes a delta received signal strength indication (RSSI) value based on a measured RSSI value transmitted by the PAC reader device when the mobile device is positioned at a desired tap distance from the PAC reader device. The delta RSSI value represents a difference between a default RSSI threshold and the measured RSSI value. The system stores, by the mobile device, the delta RSSI value in association with the PAC reader device.

Abstract

Methods and systems for secure reading of data (52, 54) from a credential device (10) using a reader (12) combine an authentication between the reader (12) and the credential device (10) with a read operation in order to read out data (52, 54) from the credential device (10) in a secure and efficient manner. The reader (12) transmits an indication of a keyset to be used during the mutual communications and a random number (22, 23) to the credential device (10). The credential device (10) responds by transmitting the encrypted data (52, 54) associated with the keyset, together with an authentication element (26, 28) that is generated based at least in part on the random number (22, 23) received from the reader, which allows the reader (12) to authenticate the credential device (12) and decrypt the data (52, 54).

Abstract

Reader-to-reader communication in a physical access control can employ telemetry advertisement packets broadcasted by readers. The telemetry advertisement packets can be ignored by client devices, such as phones, badges, etc., but are directed to and can be received by other readers within communication range. Information, such as notifications for security breaches, sleep mode operations, etc., can be transmitted with the telemetry advertisement packets. Moreover, more substantial information can also be transmitted between readers with the establishment of a data sessions.

Abstract

The present invention relates to collision detection in operation of a door in an automatic door system. The collision detection is performed by monitoring a net torque deviation of the automatic door system while operating the door and upon the net torque deviation exceeding a threshold for collision, issuing a collision signal. The threshold for collision may be set by detecting an extreme net torque deviation of the automatic door system during a collision free operating cycle of the automatic door system and determining the threshold for collision based on the detected extreme net torque deviation.

Abstract

A system for controlling access to a protected resource is described. The system detects an access control device that is within a threshold proximity to a mobile device. The system establishes a communication session between the mobile device and the access control device and receives, by the mobile device via the communication session, a transaction identifier from the access control device. The system modulates light emitted by one or more light emitting sources of the mobile device based on the transaction identifier to obtain access to a resource protected by the access control device.

Abstract

A system for combining augmented reality (AR), machine learning (ML), and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technologies to create an efficient and accurate access to secure resources. An AR component is used with an integrated ML model trained to detect physical access control (PAC) or PAC system (PACS) readers or devices. When a user opens the application and points their mobile device camera at a reader, the ML model identifies the reader, triggering BLE communication and, in some cases, without relying on RSSI measurements to obtain access to the secure resource.

Abstract

A system for controlling access to a protected resource is described. The system accesses, by an access control device, a set of data associated with configuration of an electronic ink (e-ink) display of the access control device and generates an image based on the set of data. The system powers on the e-ink display in response to receiving the set of data. The system, after powering on the e-ink display of the access control device, programs the e-ink display to present the generated image and powers off the e-ink display of the access control device after programming the e-ink display, the e-ink display continuing to present the generated image after being powered off.

Abstract

Various methods and implementations of credential presentation and verification operations in an access control system, assisted by location information received via a light communication network, are described. An example method performed by a mobile computing device (e.g., a smartphone) that presents a credential to a specific credential reader includes: receiving location information from a light communication network; determining a proximity of the mobile computing device to a credential reader, based on the location information; and performing an action with the credential reader, based on the proximity of the mobile computing device to the credential reader.

Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for using a web/Bluetooth API for mobile access control. In an embodiment, a computing system receives an endpoint identifier associated with a visitor. The system generates a URL associated with the endpoint identifier, and transmits the URL to an endpoint associated with the endpoint identifier. The system receives, from a mobile device associated with the visitor, a request for a web/Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) webpage corresponding to the URL. The system generates the requested webpage, and transmits the webpage to the mobile device. The webpage contains a valid credential for access to a secured resource, and also contains executable code for calling at least one function of a web/BLE API. The system transmits the webpage to the mobile device, and thereafter receives the credential from the mobile device via a BLE communication, verifies the credential, and accordingly grants access to the secured resource.

Abstract

A radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag can include an RFID module, a dielectric core, and an antenna structure operably coupled with the RFID module. The antenna structure can comprise a conducting surface comprising conductive material located at least partially over a first surface of the dielectric core and an absence in the conducting surface. The absence is defined by a lack of conductive material on the dielectric core and can be configured to modify one or more electromagnetic properties of the RFID tag. A slot, defined by a gap connected to the absence, is present in the conducting surface. The antenna structure can include first and second ground planes connected to the conducting surface, located on portions of a second surface opposite the first.
