The building is accessible via an entrance securable with respect to unauthorised entry. Also, embodiments of a method are disclosed in which it is checked whether a person stayed in the building for less or no longer than a predefined duration to perform an action. Embodiments of a method are also disclosed in which information to unlock or indicative of a successful unlocking of an entrance securable with respect to unauthorised entry is received, and one or a plurality of signals which allow a position in the building to be deduced are provided.

The system includes a CPU, a detection unit, a checking unit, and a synchronization unit. The memory device is configured to store the first customized user preference and the second customized user preference. The detection unit is configured to determine a presence of the first identifier or the second identifier within the vehicle. The checking unit is configured to identify a change to the first customized user preference or the second customized user preference, and to store the change within the memory device. The synchronization unit is configured to synchronize the first and second customized user preferences to the change stored in the memory device.

A method of controlling access to a zone 300a, 300b, 300c, the zone is accessed via a first access point 301a, 301b, 301c having an associated first set of access rights, the first set of access rights including permission for a first entity category to access the zone 300a, 300b, 300c, the method including: receiving a first signal including a first identifier indicating that a first entity 302 identified by the first identifier and belonging to the first entity category is at the first access point 301a, 301b, 301c; in response to receipt of the first signal, allowing the first entity entry into the zone 300a, 300b, 300c through the first access point 301a, 301b, 301c; and in response to receipt of the first signal, temporarily changing the access rights associated with the first access point 301a, 301b, 301c to a second set of access rights.

A method of controlling access to a zone 300a, 300b, 300c, the zone is accessed via a first access point 301a, 301b, 301c having an associated first set of access rights, the first set of access rights including permission for a first entity category to access the zone 300a, 300b, 300c, the method including: receiving a first signal including a first identifier indicating that a first entity 302 identified by the first identifier and belonging to the first entity category is at the first access point 301a, 301b, 301c; in response to receipt of the first signal, allowing the first entity entry into the zone 300a, 300b, 300c through the first access point 301a, 301b, 301c; and in response to receipt of the first signal, temporarily changing the access rights associated with the first access point 301a, 301b, 301c to a second set of access rights.

A key information sharing system includes a delivery device that delivers key information as first information for a control device equipped in an object and a user terminal that receives the first information delivered from the delivery device. The delivery device adds second information that allows the first information to be transferred between the user terminal and a third-party terminal without the delivery device, to the first information to be delivered to the user terminal. The user terminal transmits the first information to the third-party terminal in response to an input operation by a user, when the user terminal receives the first information to which the second information has been added.

Methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses provide a system that may facilitate communications so that parents or other superiors may monitor driving behavior of a vehicle carrying children or other subordinates. The system may allow communications to be sent from a parent computing device to a particular child computing device to set conditions for notifying the parent or superior of the driving behavior of a vehicle. Child computing devices may collect drive data (e.g., vehicle telematics data) for the system to evaluate and determine whether conditions are met (e.g., whether parental restrictions, like a geo-fence, are violated). Further, the system may send notifications to child computing devices and parent computing devices indicating whether the drive data meets the conditions of an agreement between a parent and teen. The system may also provide a web portal for use in forming the agreement between parents and their teens.

A method of determining access in an access control system is provided. The method including: receiving an access request to a first access control from a subordinate individual; determining a location of a superior individual; and deciding whether to actuate the first access control in response to the location of the superior individual.

A method according to one embodiment includes receiving, by an access control device, a credential token from a mobile device, wherein the credential token includes an access credential, a credential identifier, and a caveat that instructs the access control device to perform an associated action, determining, by the access control device, a credential type associated with the access credential based on the credential identifier, determining, by the access control device, a set of caveat rules associated with the credential type, wherein the set of caveat rules identifies one or more actions authorized for an access credential of the credential type, and performing, by the access control device, the associated action identified by the caveat in response to a determination that the associated action is an action authorized by the set of caveat rules associated with the credential type.

It is presented a method for controlling access to an access object. The method is performed in an access control device and comprises the steps of: receiving a user input to reset the access control device; generating a new identifier for the access control device, and discarding any previously used identifier for the access control device; communicating with an electronic key to obtain an identity of the electronic key; obtaining a plurality of delegations, wherein each delegation is a delegation from a delegator to a receiver; and granting access to the access object only when the plurality of delegations comprise a sequence of delegations covering a delegation path from the access control device, identified using the new identifier, to the electronic key such that, in the sequence of delegations, the delegator of the first delegation is the access control device, and the receiver of the last delegation is the electronic key.
