A comprehensive contactless entry verification system for use within a predefined space, such as an entry point to a venue requiring verified credentials for entry, including sporting events, modes of transportation, bars and restaurants, concerts, and other exclusive or limited capacity events. Rather than relying on a physical scanning event, the system improves an entry speed of a patron by automatically tracking, in real-time, a position of each patron within a predefined space, simultaneously querying, verifying, and tracking a credential associated with each patron for a contactless entry into a venue. Moreover, by allowing venue personnel to focus attention on security concerns rather than entry verification, the system improves safety protocols associated with a given event. The collaborative, comprehensive system includes cameras, transmitters, and a position engine, with each component working in combination to detect and verify a credential associated with one or more mobile devices.

Some embodiments may include an apparatus comprising: a first universal key for unlocking, locking, and/or starting a motor vehicle; a server; and a mobile radio terminal. The first universal key is trained to a particular motor vehicle using a first secret. The server stores a further secret for unlocking, locking, and/or starting the motor vehicle. The server is configured to transmit the further secret to a universal key using two interfaces and the mobile radio terminal.

The invention relates to an auto-calibration apparatus, device, and server, an auto-calibration method, and a storage medium, where the auto-calibration apparatus includes: a communication unit configured to receive a target position; a positioning unit configured to determine a current position of the apparatus; a computing unit configured to generate a driving signal based on the target position and the current position; a driving unit configured to move the apparatus to the target position based on the driving signal; and a beacon unit configured to broadcast, at least at the target position, a beacon signal used for calibration. The auto-calibration apparatus may implement efficient auto-calibration on vehicles.

A method includes performing, by a terminal with an access card, a first relay attack check for the access card in accordance with a local value associated with the terminal and a local value associated with the access card; determining, by the terminal, that the access card has passed the first relay attack check, and based thereon, performing, by the terminal with the access card, an authentication check of the access card in accordance with the local value associated with the terminal, the local value associated with the access card, and a local challenge value associated with the terminal; and determining, by the terminal, that the access card has passed the first relay attack check and the authentication check, and based thereon, validating, by the terminal, the access card.

A wireless connection may be established between a mobile device and a reader device and/or a sensor. The reader device and/or sensor may authenticate the mobile device. The reader device and/or sensor may receive a credential or token from the mobile device. An action may be performed based on certain criteria such as if the credential or token is valid.

Method, device and system for data transfer between a mobile device (3) and a reader device (2), the method of data transfer comprising: transmitting (S3) a request value from an ultra-wideband communications module (1) to the reader device (2); determining (S4) a distance between the ultra-wideband communications module (1) and the reader device (2); generating (S5) a validation value in the reader device using the request value and transmitting (S6) the validation value from the reader device (2) to the mobile device (3), if the distance is smaller than a predefined value; verifying (S7), in the mobile device (3), the validation value; and enabling (S8), in the mobile device (3), further data transfer (S9) between the mobile device (3) and the reader device (2), upon affirmative verifying of the validation value.

It is provided a beacon circuit for use with electronic locks. The beacon circuit comprises a transmitter. The beacon device is configured to repetitively transmit a beacon signal to initiate subsequent communication with a receiver. The energy use for the beacon signal employs a communication channel which consumes less power than a communication channel for the subsequent communication. The beacon signal comprises an indication of time of the subsequent communication.
