Abstract
An identity reader device includes a short-range transceiver for outputting an advertisement signal to a smart device, and for receiving an ephemeral ID from the smart device, wherein the ephemeral ID is not permanently associated with a user of the smart device, a network interface for providing the first ephemeral ID to a remote authentication service, and for receiving responsive data from the remote authentication service, a visual display for display one or more graphical user interfaces, and a processor for directing the visual display to display a first GUI to the user, in response to the responsive data, for determining whether the user is authorized, and for directing output of a physical action, in response to determining that the user is authorized.
Claims20
An identity reader device comprises:
- a first short-range transceiver of the identity reader device configured to output an advertisement signal to a plurality of smart devices including a first smart device, wherein the first short-range transceiver is configured to receive a plurality of ephemeral IDs from the plurality of smart devices, including a first ephemeral ID from the first smart device, wherein the first ephemeral ID is not permanently associated with a first user of the first smart device;
- a network interface of the identity reader device configured to provide the plurality of ephemeral IDs, including the first ephemeral ID to a remote authentication service, wherein the network interface is also configured to receive a plurality of data from the remote authentication service;
- a visual display configured to display one or more graphical user interfaces;
- and
- a processor of the identity reader device coupled to the first short-range transceiver, the network interface and the visual display, wherein the processor is configured to direct the visual display to display a first graphical user interface to the first user, in response to the plurality of data, wherein the processor is configured to determine whether the first user is authorized, and wherein the processor is configured to direct a peripheral device to perform an action, in response to determining that the first user is authorized.
A method for an identity reader device comprises:
- providing with a first short-range transceiver of the identity reader device, an advertisement signal to a plurality of smart devices including a first smart device;
- receiving with the first short-range transceiver, a plurality of IDs from the plurality of smart devices, including a first ID from the first smart device;
- providing with a network interface of the identity reader device, the plurality of ephemeral IDs, including the first ephemeral ID to a remote authentication service;
- receiving with the network interface, a plurality of data from the remote authentication service, in response to providing the plurality of ephemeral IDs;
- determining with a processor of the identity reader device, whether the first user is authorized, in response to at least a first portion of the plurality of data;
- generating with the processor, a first graphical user interface in response to at least the second portion of the plurality of data and in response to determining that the first user is authorized;
- displaying with a visual display of the identity reader device, the first graphical user for the first user;
- directing with the processor, a peripheral device to perform a user-initiated action, in response to determining that the first user is authorized.
A method for an identity interface device comprises:
- providing with a first short-range transceiver of the identity interface device, an advertisement signal to a plurality of smart devices including a first smart device;
- receiving with the first short-range transceiver, a plurality of IDs from the plurality of smart devices, including a first ID from the first smart device, when the first smart device is greater than a threshold distance away from the identity interface device;
- providing with a network interface of the identity interface device, the first ID and an identifier associated with the identity interface device to a remote authentication service, in response to the receiving the first ID from first smart device;
- receiving with the network interface, a plurality of data from the remote authentication service, in response to providing the first ID and the identifier to the remote authentication service;
- thereafter
- receiving with a second short-range transceiver of the identity interface device, communications from the first smart device when the first smart device is disposed less than the threshold distance away from the identity interface device;
- generating with a processor of the identity interface device, a first graphical user interface in response to the plurality of data and to the communications;
- and
- displaying under direction of the processor, the first graphical user interface on a visual display of the identity interface device.
