Abstract
Various implementation described herein are directed to a method for providing access control. User information is received at a device. A request to provide access control is generated by the device based on the received user information. The request is transmitted via a network to an access manager. A response to the request is received from the access manager. Access control via the device is provided based on the response to the request.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- an access control panel of a distributed access control system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code;
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the access control panel to:
- receive a full or partial copy of a database of a central access manager;
- receive, from an access device, a payment authorization request to provide access control based on user information;
- determine eligibility for access locally based on the user information in the payment authorization request and information stored in the database;
- and
- provide access control based on the determination.

An access device comprising:
- a detection sensor;
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code;
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the access device to:
