Abstract
A computer-implemented method, a system that performs the computer-implemented method, and a computer program product that stores instructions to perform the computer-implemented method are disclosed. The computer-implemented includes receiving a device ID and a door ID; retrieving a dynamic set of access rules for the door ID; determining whether the device ID is authorized based on the dynamic set of access rules; outputting an indication indicating that the device ID is authorized to effectuate unlocking or opening of a door associated with the door ID; outputting an indication indicating that the device ID is not authorized to prevent unlocking or opening of the door.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a device ID and a door ID;
- retrieving a dynamic set of access rules for the door ID;
- determining whether the device ID is authorized based on the dynamic set of access rules;
- outputting an indication indicating that the device ID is authorized to effectuate unlocking or opening of a door associated with the door ID;
- and
- outputting an indication indicating that the device ID is not authorized to prevent unlocking or opening of the door.
A system comprising:
- an electronic key device configured to provide an unlock signal comprising a device ID;
- an access reader configured to receive the unlock signal and transmit the unlock signal;
- a door access controller configured to receive the unlock signal and provide the device ID from the unlock signal and provide a door ID of a door controlled by the door access controller;
- an access control determination server comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving the device ID and the door ID from the door access controller;
- retrieving a dynamic set of access rules for the door ID;
- determining whether the device ID is authorized based on the dynamic set of access rules;
- outputting, to the door access controller, an indication indicating that the device ID is authorized to effectuate unlocking or opening of a door associated with the door ID via the door access controller;
- and
- outputting an indication indicating that the device ID is not authorized to prevent unlocking or opening of the door.
A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a device ID and a door ID;
- retrieving a dynamic set of access rules for the door ID;
- determining whether the device ID is authorized based on the dynamic set of access rules;
- outputting an indication indicating that the device ID is authorized to effectuate unlocking or opening of a door associated with the door ID;
- and
- outputting an indication indicating that the device ID is not authorized to prevent unlocking or opening of the door.
