Cohort affinity grouping for access control

A method for providing cohort affinity grouping for access control at a venue, comprising:

• receiving a request for access rights to a resource from a first user device associated with a first user;
• verifying authenticity of the first user based on a comparison of a first user's credentials with pre-stored credentials in a database;
• assigning the access rights to the first user based on the verification of the first user;
• identifying a second user and a third user by accessing social graph data of the first user, wherein the social graph data is calculated based on multiple parameters including past attendance information, social media presence, location, interaction with other groups, and/or visibility at live events, wherein the second user is associated with a second user device and the third user is associated with a third user device;
• determining a correlation value between the social graph data of the second user and the third user with the social graph data of the first user, wherein the social graph data of the second user and the third user is calculated based on past attendance information, social media presence, location, interaction with other groups, and/or visibility at live events;
• controlling the first user device, a second user device, and the third user device to display a plurality of cohorts associated with the resource, wherein the plurality of cohorts are populated based on a determination that the correlation value is above a threshold;
• receiving a selection for joining at least one cohort of the plurality of cohorts from the first user device, the second user device, and the third user device;
• transmitting availability of access rights to the second user device and the third user device based on the selection of the at least one cohort;
• assigning the access rights to the second user and the third user based on confirmation of the at least one cohort and based on receiving a request for access rights from the second user device and the third user device;
• enabling a smart queue for members of the at least one cohort, and triggering a notification of availability for check-in inside the venue based on a predefined interval of time, wherein the notification is displayed on the first user device, the second user device, and the third user device;
• receiving input from any member of the at least one cohort to trigger a check-in that results in triggering check-in for all the members of the at least one cohort;
• and
• assigning a queue number to the members of the at least one cohort based on the trigger to check-in, and transmitting a notification of seating arrangement to the user devices, wherein the notification includes seating information of the members of the cohort in proximity to one another.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for providing cohort affinity grouping for access control at a venue using a machine learning model, the method comprising:

• receiving a request for access rights to a resource from a first user device associated with a first user;
• verifying authenticity of the first user based on a comparison of a first user's credentials with pre-stored credentials in a database;
• assigning the access rights to the first user based on the verification of the first user;
• identifying a second user and a third user by accessing social graph data of the first user, wherein the social graph data is calculated based on multiple parameters including past attendance information, social media presence, location, interaction with other groups, and/or visibility at live events, wherein the second user is associated with a second user device and the third user is associated with a third user device;
• determining a correlation value between the social graph data of the second user and the third user with the social graph data of the first user, wherein the social graph data of the second user and the third user is calculated based on past attendance information, social media presence, location, interaction with other groups, and/or visibility at live events;
• controlling the first user device, the second user device, and the third user device to display a plurality of cohorts associated with the resource, wherein the plurality of cohorts are populated based on a determination that the correlation value is above a threshold;
• receiving a selection for joining at least one cohort of the plurality of cohorts from the first user device, the second user device, and the third user device;
• transmitting availability of access rights to the second user device and the third user device based on the selection of the at least one cohort;
• assigning the access rights to the second user and the third user based on confirmation of the at least one cohort and based on receiving a request for access rights from the second user device and the third user device;
• enabling a smart queue for members of the at least one cohort, and triggering a notification of availability for check-in inside the venue based on a predefined interval of time, wherein the notification is displayed on the first user device, the second user device, and the third user device;
• receiving input from any member of the at least one cohort to trigger a check-in that results in triggering check-in for all the members of the at least one cohort;
• and
• assigning a queue number to the members of the at least one cohort based on the trigger to check-in, and transmitting a notification of seating arrangement to the user devices, wherein the notification includes seating information of the members of the cohort in proximity to one another.
