## Abstract

An access control system is described and includes a server, a controller for regulating the accessibility of an entrance, and a mobile device having an application for user to trigger an access authentication process, means for collecting biometric information of the user, and a BLUETOOTH module to establish a BLUETOOTH communication link between the mobile device and the controller. The controller includes a communication module for connecting the controller to the server and mobile device for receiving updates on user access credentials, an access module for activating/deactivating a barrier of entrance, and a microprocessor for verifying the received user access credentials, generating an door execution command, and uploading the entrance status to the server.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An access control system, comprising:
a server;
a controller for regulating the accessibility of an entrance; and
a mobile device having:
an application for a user to trigger an access authentication process,
means for collecting biometric information of the user, and
a BLUETOOTH module to establish a BLUETOOTH communication link between the mobile device and the controller;
wherein the controller comprises:
a communication module for connecting the controller to the server and mobile device for receiving updates on user access credentials;
an access module for activating/deactivating a barrier of entrance; and
a microprocessor for verifying the received user access credentials, generating an door execution command, and uploading the entrance status to the server;
wherein, upon the controller receiving a BLUETOOTH signal from the mobile device after a successful biometric verification, the controller then performs a second authentication via the microprocessor to verify the user's accessibility based on the updated user access credentials, and followed by triggering the access module to provide access permission for the user based on the outcomes of the authentications, and further uploads the entrance status to the server.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller further comprises a buzzer for indicating the status of entrance to the user.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the communication module is capable of establishing BLUETOOTH, WiFi, IR wireless communication, satellite communication, broadcast radio, microwave radio, ZIGBEE or any combination thereof.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the user access credentials includes secret password, date, time, unlock command, user ID, controller pairing code or any combination thereof.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller further comprises an antenna for receiving a wireless signal from the server and mobile device.
