ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD WITH GPS LOCATION VALIDATION
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- control circuitry receiving a request from an authentication factor;
control circuitry identifying a location module associated with the authentication factor;
control circuitry identifying a location of the location module;
control circuitry determining whether the location module is within a predetermined distance from the authentication factor or a control system that received the request from the authentication factor;
when the location module is within the predetermined distance from the authentication factor or the control system that received the request from the authentication factor, control circuitry granting the request received from the authentication factor; and
when the location module is not within the predetermined distance from the authentication factor or the control system that received the request from the authentication factor, control circuitry denying the request received from the authentication factor.

Abstract
An access control system and method with location validation are provided. The method can include receiving a request from an authentication factor, identifying a location module associated with the authentication factor, identifying a location of the location module, and determining whether the location module is within a predetermined distance from the authentication factor or a control system, including an access panel of the control system, that received the request from the authentication factor. When the location module is within the predetermined distance from the authentication factor or the control system that received the request from the authentication factor, the method can include granting the request received from the authentication factor. However, when the location module is not within the predetermined distance from the authentication factor or the control system that received the request from the authentication factor, the method can include denying the request received from the authentication factor.

12. An apparatus comprising:
-
a transceiver; a memory device; a programmable processor; and executable control software stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein the transceiver receives a request from an access control panel communicating with an authentication factor, wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software access the memory device to identify a location module associated with the authentication factor, wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software identify a location of the location module, wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software determine whether the location module is within a predetermined distance from the authentication factor or the access control panel, wherein, when the location module is within the predetermined distance from the authentication factor or the access control panel, the transceiver transmits data to the access control panel to grant the request received from the authentication factor, and wherein, when the location module is not within the predetermined distance from the authentication factor or the access control panel, the transceiver transmits data to the access control panel to deny the request received from the authentication factor. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system comprising:
-
an access control system, the access control system including at least an access panel in communication with a control panel, the control panel including at least a transceiver, a memory device, and control circuitry; at least one authentication factor; and at least one location module associated with the authentication factor, wherein the access control system receives a request from the authentication factor, wherein the access control system identifies the location module as being associated with the authentication factor, wherein the access control system identifies a location of the location module; wherein the access control system determines whether the location module is within a predetermined distance from the authentication factor or the access control system, wherein, when the location module is within the predetermined distance from the authentication factor or the access control system, the access control system grants the request received from the authentication factor, and wherein, when the location module is not within the predetermined distance from the authentication factor or the access control system, the access control system denies the request received from the authentication factor. - View Dependent Claims (20)
