Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods are presented for controlling user access to one or more access points of a self-storage facility using a single authentication instance. Such instances can include detecting that the user is within physical proximity of one of the one or more access points to which the user is authorized to access, and activating an unlocking mechanism associated with the one of the one or more access points responsive to detection of physical proximity.
Claims20
A method for controlling user access to one or more access points of a self-storage facility using a single authentication instance comprising:
- detecting a mobile device of a user entering a predefined geofence of the self-storage facility;
- upon determining, based on credentials of the user, that the user is authorized for access in the self-storage facility, generating an authentication to grant entry to the user to a plurality of access points to which the user is authorized to access;
- detecting that the user is within a physical proximity of one of the plurality of access points to which the user is authorized to access, and
- responsive to detecting that the user is within a physical proximity of one of the plurality of access points to which the user is authorized to access, activating an unlocking mechanism associated with the one of the one or more access points without re-authentication.
