Dependent claims

A method comprising:

identifying that a plurality of wireless communication tags are within a geographic area respective to a wireless reader associated with provisioning an access-controlled service based on signals sent from the plurality of wireless communication tags to the wireless reader, wherein each of the plurality of wireless communication tags are configured to uniquely identify respective accounts for granting access to the access-controlled service;
prioritizing, based at least in part on an occurrence of a first and a second wireless communication tags being within the geographic area, a signal from the first wireless communication tag over a signal from the second wireless communication tag, wherein the first and the second wireless communication tags are within a same vehicle;
determining, based at least in part on the prioritizing, an amount of payment owed by a respective account associated with the first wireless communication tag in accessing the access-controlled service;
and
facilitating transfer of the amount of payment in response to the first wireless communication tag accessing the access-controlled service.

2 more elements

A system comprising:

at least one processor;
and
at least one memory storing instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor causes the system to:
identify that a plurality of wireless communication tags are within a geographic area respective to a wireless reader associated with provisioning an access-controlled service based on signals sent from the plurality of wireless communication tags to the wireless reader, wherein each of the plurality of wireless communication tags are configured to uniquely identify respective accounts for granting access to the access-controlled service;
prioritize, based at least in part on an occurrence of a first and a second wireless communication tags being within the geographic area, a signal from the first wireless communication tag over a signal from the second wireless communication tag, wherein the first and the second wireless communication tags are within a same vehicle;
determine, based at least in part on the prioritizing, an amount of payment owed by a respective account associated with the first wireless communication tag in accessing the access-controlled service;
and
facilitate transfer of the amount of payment in response to the first wireless communication tag accessing the access-controlled service.
