Rolling code based point of access system for event tickets stored in mobile access devices

A system for providing ticket based authorized entry of a mobile access device, the system comprising:

• a memory configured to store an access code of a ticket of an event to be accessed by the mobile access device using the ticket, wherein the mobile access device stores the access code;
• a transceiver configured to communicate with the mobile access device;
• and
• a control module configured to
• determine a location of the mobile access device relative to a check point location for the event,
• determine whether the mobile access device is at or closer to a point of entry of the event than the check point location,
• update the access code stored in the memory and signal the mobile access device via the transceiver to update the access code stored at the mobile access device in response to determining that the mobile access device is closer to the point of entry than the check point location, wherein access to the event by the mobile access device and a corresponding ticket holder is based on the updated access code,
• append a new access code to the access code stored in the memory to generate the updated access code each of a plurality of times the mobile access device is at or passes the point of entry,
• when the updated access code stored in the memory is updated again, append a new access code to the updated access code and drop a portion of the resulting updated access code, and
• at least one of i) actuate an entry device of a facility of the event, ii) unlock the entry device of the facility, and iii) move the entry device of the facility, by signaling a station of the event the updated access code resulting from the dropping of the portion to obtain access for a user of the mobile access device to at least a portion of the facility.

• i) append a first new access code to the access code stored in the memory to form an updated access code when the mobile access device passes a point of entry for the event a first time, and ii) either a) append a second new access code to the first new access code and drop a remainder of the updated access code when the mobile access device passes the point of entry a second time, or b) append the second new access code to the remainder of the updated access code and drop the first new access code when the mobile access device passes the point of entry the second time, and
• actuate an entry device of a facility by signaling a station of the event the updated access code to obtain access for a ticket holder of the mobile access device to at least a portion of the facility.
