An Internet-of-Things (IoT)-enabled lock is provided to control access to a secure physical asset. Disparate authorized systems make requests for an access and receive authorization to access the asset. An authorized user with an authorized mobile device is dispatched to the asset pursuant to a request. Proximity-based mobile device authentication is performed when the mobile device is in a configured proximity of the asset and the mobile device establishes a wireless connection to the lock. A second factor authentication is performed on the user that operated the mobile device. A One-Time Code (OTC) is generated and provided to either the lock or the mobile device for access to the asset. Access events and service information for the asset are stored in a shared data repository. Each system has access through to the shared data repository to all auditing information associated with the asset.

An access manager determines whether access will be granted to a guarded species or space utilizing a controller including a digital processor with a memory for storing an ID library and a transducer block coupled with the processor for accessing a plurality of different ID types and an access control block coupled with the processor for granting or denying access.

Provided herein are medication tracking and securement devices, systems, platforms, and methods configured to be used with or in place of commercial standard medicine bottles. The wireless tracking and communications elements of the present disclosure are configured to prevent medication theft, overdosing, medication loss, and prescription noncompliance.

Systems and methods of a doorbell device initiating a state change of an access control device and/or a control panel responsive to two-factor authentication are provided. Such systems and methods can include the doorbell device receiving first access credentials from a first device, determining whether the first access credentials are valid, and determining whether the first device has been authenticated with two factors by determining whether an indication of two-factor authentication of the first device has been received from the first device or by soliciting and validating second access credentials from a second device. When the first access credentials are valid and the first device has been authenticated with the two factors, the doorbell device can transmit a state change command to the access control device that controls access to a secured area associated with the doorbell device and/or the control panel that monitors the secured area.

A face authentication apparatus includes a face image acquisition unit that acquires a face image of a user who passes through a first gate provided at a first boundary between zones, a collation unit that performs face authentication on the face image on the basis of a threshold, an operating state acquisition unit that acquires an operating state of a second gate provided at a second boundary that is different from the first boundary, and a threshold change unit that changes the threshold on the basis of the operating state of the second gate.

Aspects of the present disclosure include methods, apparatus, and computer readable medium for receiving, from an access control device associated with an access controlled asset, an indication that a requester is requesting access to the access controlled asset, verifying whether the requester is authorized to access the access controlled asset, transmitting, in response to verifying that the requester is authorized to access the access controlled asset, an access code to a handheld device of the requester, and wherein the access control device grants the requester access to the access controlled asset in response to receiving the access code input by the requester.

Aspects of the invention are directed towards method and system for providing secure access to a user inside the premises. One or more embodiments of the invention describe receiving a user defined pre-access condition for a predetermined time by an input interface coupled to an intrusion panel. The pre-access condition for a user are authenticated and an authentication result is notified to a cloud server. The authentication is confirmed based on the pre-access condition together with geo-location information of the user within a defined geo-fencing boundary thereby satisfying dual authentication and transmitting the authentication result to the cloud server. A preset emergency notification and location tracking information are triggered on breach of the pre-access condition and/or geo-location information to a predefined user.

An access manager determines whether access will be granted to a guarded species or space utilizing a controller including a digital processor with a memory for storing an ID library and a transducer block coupled with the processor for accessing a plurality of different ID types and an actuator block coupled with the processor for unblocking a normally locked portal to the guarded space.
