SHORT-RANGE DEVICE COMMUNICATIONS FOR SECURED RESOURCE ACCESS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An electronic client device comprising:
- one or more transceivers for receiving and transmitting wireless signals, wherein a transceiver of the one or more transceivers is configured to receive and transmit wireless signals over a short-range connection;
one or more biometric capture devices, wherein a biometric capture device of the one or more biometric capture devices is configured to obtain a biometric credential from an authorized user associated with an electronic user device;
a communication engine that;
detects a first wireless signal having been transmitted over a short-range connection by the electronic user device and having been received by the one or more transceivers, whereinthe first wireless signal includes an identifier associated with the electronic user device; and
facilitates transmission of a second wireless signal over the short range connection using the one or more transceivers, whereinthe second wireless signal includes the biometric credential; and
an access-right determination engine that;
identifies a specification of a limited-access resource using the identifier associated with the electronic user device;
facilitates determination of an access-enabling code using the specification of the limited-access resource; and
facilitates association of the access-enabling code, the biometric credential, or both the access-enabling code and the biometric credential with the identifier associated with the electronic user device.

Abstract
Communications over short-range connections are used to facilitate whether access to resources is to be granted. For example, upon device discovery of one of an electronic user device and an electronic client device by the other device over a Bluetooth Low Energy connection, an access-enabling code associated with a user device or account can be evaluated for validity and applicability with respect to one or more particular resource specifications. User identity can be verified by comparing the user against previously obtained biometric information.

9. An electronic client device comprising:
-
one or more transceivers for receiving and transmitting wireless signals, wherein a transceiver of the one or more transceivers is configured to receive and transmit wireless signals over a short-range connection; a communication engine that; detects a first wireless signal having been transmitted over a short-range connection by an electronic user device and having been received by the one or more transceivers, wherein the first wireless signal includes an identifier associated with the electronic user device, facilitates transmission of a second wireless signal over the short range connection using the one or more transceivers, wherein the second wireless signal includes a biometric credential request, and detects a third wireless signal having been transmitted over the short-range connection by the electronic user device in response to the second wireless signal and having been received by the one or more transceivers, wherein the third wireless signal includes a biometric credential; an access-right evaluation engine that; facilitates a query of a data store for an access-enabling code of an authorized user associated with the electronic user device, and generates a stimulus data relating to results of the query for the access-enabling code; and an interface engine that; generates a presentation of a visual stimulus that corresponds to the stimulus data, and facilitates verification of the biometric credential. - View Dependent Claims (10, 12, 13, 14, 15)
