Access control system for tracking and verifying credentials
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11887416B2) discloses an innovative access control system that includes a credential device with credential data and at least one reader. The system operates by receiving credential data from the device, verifying its validity, and tracking its location relative to the reader using different communication protocols. Based on the location of the credential device, the system can make or delay an access control decision, ensuring secure access to designated zones.
Furthermore, the patent details a method for access control that involves establishing a wireless link with the credential device, verifying its validity, and tracking its location relative to the reader. The method allows for making or delaying access control decisions based on the location of the credential device. Additionally, the patent describes a reader device with communication interfaces for wireless communication and sharing information with other readers to enable collective decision-making or link management. The use of different communication protocols, such as Bluetooth and ultra-wide band (UWB), enhances the system's efficiency and security in access control scenarios.
