Method and system for verifying user authenticity in an access control system

A system at an access reader for verifying authenticity of a user, the system comprising:

• an access control engine configured to:
• detect, by the access reader, that the user is in proximity to the access reader based on a voice command received at the access reader from the user and the detection of an electronic device associated with the user that is present within a predefined threshold distance from the access reader, the voice command including a command to open a door;
• transmit a signal from the access reader to the electronic communication device in response to detecting that the user is in proximity to the access reader, wherein the signal is indicative of verifying the authenticity of the user;
• receive, at the access reader and from the electronic communication device, biometric information associated with the user for verifying the authenticity of the user after transmitting the signal to the electronic communication device, wherein the biometric information was generated by the electronic communication device in response to receiving the signal from the access device, including:
• generating, at a display screen of the electronic communication device, a prompt message for the user to confirm whether to access the access reader;
• and
• receiving, at the electronic communication device, an input from the user provided in response to the generation of the prompt message, the input from the user associated with biometric information of the user comprising a voice signature of the user confirming access to the access reader is being requested;
• and
• verify the authenticity of the user based on verification of the biometric information with user data stored in a database in communication with the access reader.

A method at an electronic communication device for verifying authenticity of a user, the method comprising:

• receiving, at the electronic communication device, a signal transmitted from a access reader in respond to the access reader detecting that the electronic communication device is in proximity to the access reader and based on a voice command received at the access reader from the user, the voice command including a command to open a door, and wherein the signal is indicative of verifying the authenticity of the user;
• generating, at a display screen of the electronic communication device and in response to receiving the signal from the access device, a prompt message for the user to confirm whether to access the access reader within a vicinity of the electronic communication device;
• receiving, at the electronic communication device, an input associated with biometric information of the user comprising a voice signature of the user to access the access reader in response to the generation of the prompt message;
• and
• transmitting, from the electronic communication device to a cloud database for verifying the authenticity of the user, the input associated with the biometric information of the user, wherein the biometric information is verified by the database and provided to the access reader in order to provide the user with access to the access reader.
