Wireless Device Enabled Locking System
First Claim
1. A method of providing, by a networked server via a Web Portal, security services for managing physical access via commands transmitted wirelessly between a mobile device and a controller for actuating a physical access control device, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the networked server via the Web Portal, an authentication request issued by the mobile device, the authentication request comprising an authentication information including;
information identifying the mobile device, andinformation identifying the physical access control device;
authenticating, by the networked server, the authentication request issued by the mobile device, and in response to the authenticating;
generating, by the networked server, a response message; and
forwarding to the mobile device, by the networked server, the response message so as to enable the controller of the physical access control device to authenticate a command message, from mobile device, prior to completing an access control operation, on the physical access control device, corresponding to the command,wherein the controller is configured to communicate, in an online mode, with the networked server via a communications path that does not pass through the mobile device, wherein the method further comprises;
receiving, by the networked server via the communications path that does not pass through the mobile device, a further authentication request from the controller corresponding to a further request from the mobile device, the further authentication request comprising the authentication information including;
information identifying the mobile device, andinformation identifying the physical access control device;
further authenticating, by the networked server, the further authentication request, and in response to the further authenticating;
generating, by the networked server in response to the further authenticating, a further response message to the controller; and
forwarding by the networked server, to the controller via the communications path that does not pass through the mobile device, the further response message so as to enable the controller to authenticate the further request from the mobile device, prior to completing an access control operation, on the physical access control device.

Abstract
An encrypted security system and associated methods for controlling physical access. The system includes a security server configured to receive a request for authentication from a mobile device, the request comprising information identifying the mobile device and a physical access control device. The security server forwards an encryption message comprising a plurality of unique identifiers to the physical access control device via the mobile device. The physical access control device is configured to authenticate the plurality of unique identifiers in the encryption message and operate an access control mechanism.

22. An encrypted security system for controlling physical access and including a security server and a physical access control device
wherein the security server is configured with a server processor and a server non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-executable instructions for: -
receiving, by the security server via a Web Portal, an authentication request issued by a requesting device, the authentication request comprising an authentication information including; information identifying the requesting device, and information identifying the physical access control device; authenticating, by the security server, the authentication request, and in response to the authenticating; generating a response message; and wherein a controller for the physical access control device is configured with a controller processor and a server non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-executable instructions for; receiving a command message from the requesting device, and authenticating the command message prior to completing the command for the physical access control device; wherein the controller is configured to communicate, in an online mode, with the security server via a communications path that does not pass through the requesting device, wherein the security server is further configured for; receiving, by the security server via the communications path that does not pass-through the requesting device, a further authentication request from the controller corresponding to a further request from the requesting device, the further authentication request comprising the authentication information including; information identifying the requesting device, and information identifying the physical access control device; further authenticating, by the security server, the further authentication request, and in response to the further authenticating; generating, by the security server in response to the further authenticating, a further response message to the controller; and forwarding by the security server, to the controller via the communications path that does not pass through the requesting device, the further response message so as to enable the controller to authenticate the further request from the requesting device, prior to completing an access control operation, on the physical access control device. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
