POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR ACCESS CONTROL DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method for managing access devices at a place of hospitality, comprising:
- determining a first location of a device of a user;
determining that the user is authorized access to a controlled area;
determining when the first location of the device of the user is within a first area proximate to the controlled area; and
transmitting a first signal to an access device associated with the controlled area when the first location of the device of the user is within the first area proximate to the controlled area, the first signal used to manage an operation of the access device.

Abstract
Managing an access device associated with a controlled area at a place of hospitality is described. A location of a device of a user is determined. A controlled area that the user is authorized to access is determined. The location of the device of the user is monitored, and when the location of the device of the user is within a first area proximate to the controlled area, a first signal is transmitted to an access device associated with the controlled area. The first signal is used to manage an operation of the access device. An additional location of the device of the user may be determined. When the additional location of the device of the user is within a second area proximate to the controlled area, a second signal used to enable access to the controlled area is transmitted to the access device.

16. A device for providing access to a controlled area at a place of hospitality, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to; determine a location of a device of a user, wherein the user is authorized access to the controlled area; determine when the location of the device of the user is within an area proximate to the controlled area, the location determined based on at least location information of the device; and transmit a first signal to an access device associated with the controlled area when the location of the device is within the area proximate to the controlled area, the first signal used to enable access to the controlled area. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. A system for providing access to a controlled area at a place of hospitality, comprising:
-
an access device configured to provide access to the controlled area; an access device management system comprising a processor, the access device management system configured to; determine, using the processor, a first location of a user device of a user; determine, using the processor, that the user is authorized access to the controlled area; determine, using the processor, when the first location of the user device is within a first area proximate to the controlled area; and transmit a first signal to the access device when the first location of the user device is within the first area proximate to the controlled area, the first signal used to manage an operation of the access device; and the user device configured to transmit a second signal to the access device when a second location of the user device is within a second area proximate to the controlled area, the second signal used to enable access to the controlled area.
