WIRELESS ACCESS CONTROL TO A LOCKING DEVICE
First Claim
1. An access control system for controlling a locking device over a short-range wireless radio frequency, the system comprising:
- an intelligent user terminal configured to transmit authorization data related to secure access; and
a locking device, said locking device comprising;
a user interface configured to receive user input;
a communication module configured to communicate with the intelligent user terminal according to a short-range wireless communication protocol, said communication module receiving the authorization data transmitted from the intelligent user terminal when connected thereto; and
a controller configured to approve the intelligent user terminal for secure access based upon establishing a connection between the communication module and the intelligent user terminal and in response to the authorization data received by the communication module, said controller further configured to operate in an active state in response to the user input received by the user interface.
