Intelligent access control system

An intelligent access control system configured to implement access control to controlled area having a plurality of access areas divided by at least one access point, intelligent access control system comprising:

• a hardware processor configured to perform operations comprising:
• generating a security token;
• transmitting the security token to a client module executing on a first client device associated with a first user;
• causing the client module to pair with an access control device associated with the first user;
• causing the client module to transfer the security token to the access control device;
• monitoring a physical location of the first client device within the controlled area;
• and
• determining, based on the physical location of the first client device, that the first user is to be validated, wherein the client module causes, based on the determining that the first user is to be validated, the first client device to generate an alert.

A computer program product, comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having stored therein program code for implementing access control to a controlled area having a plurality of access areas divided by at least one access point,
• the program code, which when executed by an intelligent access control system, causes the intelligent access control system to perform operations comprising:
• generating a security token;
• transmitting the security token to a client module executing on a first client device associated with a first user;
• causing the client module to pair with an access control device associated with the first user;
• causing the client module to transfer the security token to the access control device;
• monitoring a physical location of the first client device within the controlled area;
• and
• determining, based on the physical location of the first client device, that the first user is to be validated, wherein the client module causes, based on the determining that the first user is to be validated, the first client device to generate an alert.
