Abstract

Claims15
A method for reporting activity at a lock, the method comprising:
- detecting an access attempt at the lock in response to a credential presented at the lock;
- determining if a security event is to be generated in response to the access attempt;
- upon generation of the security event, determining if an alert is to be generated in response to the security event;
- wherein determining if the security event is to be generated comprises not generating the security event in response to the access attempt not opening the lock and the credential previously being authorized to open the lock;
- and
- generating an audit event in response to the access attempt not opening the lock and the credential previously being authorized to open the lock.
A system comprising:
- a lock configured to detect an access attempt at the lock in response to a credential presented at the lock;
- the lock configured to determine if a security event is to be generated in response to the access attempt;
- a lock server in communication with the lock;
- upon generation of the security event, the lock server configured to determine if an alert is to be generated in response to the security event,
- wherein the lock determining if the security event is to be generated comprises not generating the security event in response to the access attempt not opening the lock and the credential previously being authorized to open the lock;
- the lock generating an audit event in response to the access attempt not opening the lock and the credential previously being authorized to open the lock.
A computer program product for reporting activity at a lock, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to implement operations comprising:
- detecting an access attempt at the lock in response to a credential presented at the lock;
- determining if a security event is to be generated in response to the access attempt;
- upon generation of the security event, determining if an alert is to be generated in response to the security event,
- wherein determining if the security event is to be generated comprises not generating the security event in response to the access attempt not opening the lock and the credential previously being authorized to open the lock;
- generating an audit event in response to the access attempt not opening the lock and the credential previously being authorized to open the lock.
A method for reporting activity at a lock, the method comprising:
- detecting an access attempt at the lock in response to a credential presented at the lock;
- determining if a security event is to be generated in response to the access attempt;
- upon generation of the security event, determining if an alert is to be generated in response to the security event;
- wherein determining if the security event is to be generated comprises not generating the security event in response to the access attempt not opening the lock and the credential previously being authorized to open the lock and the credential being currently expired.
