Abstract
A wireless connection may be established between a mobile device and a reader device and/or a sensor. The reader device and/or sensor may authenticate the mobile device. The reader device and/or sensor may receive a credential or token from the mobile device. An action may be performed based on certain criteria such as if the credential or token is valid.
Claims24
A method, comprising:
- establishing a first wireless connection between a mobile device and a reader device via a long range communication protocol;
- authenticating the mobile device with the reader device;
- transmitting a token from the reader device to the mobile device via the long range communication protocol;
- establishing a second wireless connection between the mobile device and the reader device via a short range communication protocol;
- receiving the token at the reader device from the mobile device via the short range communication protocol;
- determining whether the token is valid;
- and
- performing an action if the token is valid.
5 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a reader device including at least one transceiver structured to communicate over a first communication protocol and a second communication protocol;
- a mobile device including at least one transceiver structured to communicate over the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol;
- and
- a processing device in communication with the reader device,
- wherein the reader device is configured with non-transitory computer executable instructions to authenticate the mobile device over the first communication protocol and to transmit a credential to the mobile device over the first communication protocol,
- wherein the mobile device is configured with non-transitory computer executable instructions to transmit the credential to the reader device over the second communication protocol, wherein the processing device is configured with non-transitory computer executable instructions to receive the credential from the reader device, determine whether the credential valid, and perform an action if the credential is valid.
3 more elements
A method, comprising:
- establishing a wireless connection between a mobile device and a plurality of sensors;
- receiving a credential from the mobile device with at least one of the sensors;
- monitoring a position of the mobile device with the sensors;
- determining whether a predetermined criteria has been satisfied based on the position of the mobile device with respect to an object;
- and
- performing an action if the credential is valid and if the predetermined criteria is satisfied.
3 more elements
A system, comprising:
- at least three sensors;
- a mobile device configured to transmit a token to at least one of the sensors;
- and
- a processing device in communication with at least one of the sensors,
- wherein the sensors are configured to triangulate a position of the mobile device and determine whether a predetermined criteria has been satisfied based on the position of the mobile device with respect to an object, and
- wherein the processing device is configured to perform an action if the token is valid and if the predetermined criteria is satisfied.
