Abstract
Devices are operated dependent on a user'"'"'s location being confirmed as in the vicinity of an unpowered token, such as an NFC chip or QR code. The tokens may be attached to the devices which will only operate if triggered by a user scanning the corresponding token with a personal mobile device. In other cases, the scanning of a token may cause a remote server to perform an action that depends on the user being in proximity to the token.
