A method of enrolling a user at a biometric lockset is described. The method includes receiving user access information from a mobile device of an administrative user of the biometric lockset. The user access information indicates to the biometric lockset to enter an enrollment mode in which a user identity is associated with fingerprint data in a user entry within a memory of the biometric lockset. A plurality of different light codes are displayed on the lockset, each one of the plurality of light codes representative of a different state of fingerprint data capture. A message is transmitted to the mobile device, and corresponds to the light code displayed at the lockset. The completed fingerprint data is stored in association with the user identity of the user in the user entry.

A mobile credential management system includes a processing system and a memory system with computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to perform a plurality of operations. The operations include issuing a credential to a mobile device operable to trigger opening of a releasable latch of a vehicle key box responsive to receiving the credential within an assigned window of time. The operations also include monitoring for a releasable latch opened indicator from the vehicle key box indicative of the vehicle key box acknowledging the credential and providing access to a vehicle key corresponding to a vehicle assigned to the vehicle key box. The operations further include sending a notification to a user system responsive to receiving the releasable latch opened indicator, the notification identifying the vehicle and information about a user of the mobile device.

A method according to one embodiment includes transmitting, by a handler device associated with package handler, a message to an access control system requesting access to a secure container secured by an electronic lock mechanism; determining, by the access control system, whether the package handler is authorized to access the secure container based on the received message; transmitting, by the access control system, an unlock command to the secure container in response to a determination that the package handler is authorized to access the secure container; and unlocking the electronic lock mechanism of the secure container in response to successful authentication of the unlock command.

A control system and method are provided for a station to dispense fuel to a vehicle, including an electric vehicle, without requiring dedicated access to a communications network, with the advantage that authorization for fleet vehicles or individuals can be obtained from an access management system, using a portable, wireless device, such as a smart phone or a dashboard appliance. The authorization is wirelessly relayed to the station by the wireless device, to enable the dispensing of fuel. Subsequently, a log comprising the transaction is provided to the access management system, through the same or a different wireless, mobile computing device. The log may also report status and other events, such as load shedding.

A method for operating a passive radio-based locking apparatus of a transportation vehicle wherein the locking apparatus enables at least one access function of the transportation vehicle, wherein the passive radio-based locking apparatus includes a mobile device embodied as a radio key unit and a transceiver at the transportation vehicle, between which at least two electromagnetic radio signals are exchanged for the electromagnetic radio connection, and for the operation, one parameter of each of the radio connections of the passive radio-based locking apparatus is modified. Prior to enabling the access function, an identification feature of at least two data communication interfaces for setting up communication for the radio connections at the radio key unit and/or at the transceiver is modified and also each is set to a latest value, and the access function is enabled only in response to the relevant identification feature having the latest value.

According to some embodiments, a system is provided. The system comprises a computing system that is configured to receive an alarm signal from a premises monitoring system that is configured to monitor a premises, receive alarm event data associated with an alarm event, store the alarm event data associated with the alarm event in at least one data store of the computing system, enforce an access control policy on the alarm event data stored in the at least one data store, the access control policy restricting access to the alarm event data based on time and a plurality of roles of a plurality of users of the computing system, perform at least one analytics operation on the alarm event data associated with the alarm event, and update a value of a current alarm score based on an output of the at least one analytics operation.

A method of requesting access through a door may involve: causing a mobile computing device to receive an identifier of the door; and causing the mobile computing device to transmit an access request to an access-control system, the access request comprising data representing at least the identifier of the door and an access code. A method of controlling access through a door may involve: receiving an access request from a mobile computing device, the access request comprising data representing at least an identifier of the door and an access code; and in response to the request, allowing access through the door. Systems are also disclosed.

In one aspect, a universal receiver is provided for being operably coupled to a movable barrier operator. The universal receiver includes at least one radio antenna adapted to receive signals transmitted at different frequencies and a controller operably coupled to the at least one radio antenna. The controller is adapted to determine a code of a signal received by the at least one radio antenna at any one of the different frequencies. The controller being further adapted to learn the code in response to a user-independent learning condition being met.

A wireless apparatus controls physical access through a portal by forward verification of a single origin code submitted by a mobile application device. A system forward verifies a single physical access control code upon each successful physical access request. The apparatus sets a flag that triggers an action when a single origin code is received out of sequence. The controller receives a plurality of physical access requests from a plurality of mobile application devices. The controller determines for each mobile application device a sequence of access requests comprising at least a first access request and a second access request. Upon authenticating the first access request, the controller writes into storage a forward verification code specific to an immediately subsequent second access request from the same app device. Upon receiving a successor, the controller performs an authentication process by matching the stored forward verification code associated with the predecessor.

A smart key authentication method for a vehicle remote key system that includes a smart key performing bi-directional communication with a vehicle to control the vehicle and a vehicle authentication module provided at the vehicle to authenticate the smart key is provided. The smart key authentication method includes generating, by the vehicle authentication module, a random number and sharing the random number with the smart key and performing a first authentication process based on the random number, and performing, by the vehicle authentication module, a second authentication process by comparing at least one location information value among an access point (AP) list, a satellite-based positioning sensor value, or a geomagnetic sensor value, which are respectively measured at the vehicle and at the smart key and determining whether or not to permit an authentication to the smart key.
