Abstract
A mobile device verification method for a facility includes the mobile device requesting authorization to permit entry to and/or exit from the facility, validating the mobile device request, and verifying, as a mobile device enters and exits the facility, that the mobile device is the mobile device whose authorization request was validated.
Claims20
A mobile device verification method for a facility, the method comprising:
- the mobile device requesting authorization to permit entry to and/or exit from the facility;
- validating said mobile device request;
- and
- verifying, as the mobile device enters and exits the facility, that the mobile device is the mobile device whose authorization request was validated.
A facility mobile device verification system comprising:
- a server configured to:
- register the mobile device and an authorization device, and
- provide to the mobile device and the authorization device an application and a key;
- and
- a wireless location device proximate an entry into and/or exit from a facility, the location device configured to generate on the mobile device and the authorization device, when proximate the location device, a validation screen decoded via the key and the application, for verifying that the mobile device is authorized to enter and/or exit the facility.
A mobile device verification method for a facility, the method comprising:
- downloading onto the mobile device an application which generates a validation screen which changes over time;
- registering, via the application, the mobile device;
- authorizing the mobile device to pass by a wireless location device having a unique identifier;
- proximate the wireless location device, opening the application on the mobile device and the application wirelessly receiving the unique identifier of the wireless location device;
- in response to receiving the unique identifier of the wireless location device, the application generating a validation screen on the mobile device;
- visually comparing the validation screen on the mobile device with a validation screen on an authorization device;
- allowing the mobile device to pass the wireless location device if the validation screen on the mobile device matches the validation screen on the authorization device;
- and
- not allowing the mobile device to pass the wireless location device if the validation screen on the mobile devices does not match the validation screen on the authorization device.
A facility mobile device verification system comprising:
- a server configured to:
- register a mobile device, and
- authorize the mobile device to pass by a wireless location device having a unique identifier;
- an application downloadable on the mobile device and configured to:
- generate a validation screen which changes over time, and
- read the unique identifier of the wireless location device;
- the wireless location device located at a security checkpoint and configured to provide its unique identifier to the mobile device application when the mobile device is proximate the wireless location device;
- and
- an authorization device configured to generate a validation screen when proximate the wireless location device to be compared with the validation screen of the mobile device.
