Abstract

A system for accessing a secured area with a device that does not need to be actively operated. The system operates by receiving credential information from a beacon, sending that information as well as its own credential information to a secure server and operating the entrance to the area if the device'"'"'s credential information to a secure server and operating the entrance to the area if the device'"'"'s credentials are authorized to operate the mechanism associated with the beacon.

Claims

1. A method for operating a mechanical device comprising:

receiving a credential signal from a beacon within a receiving device;

sending a signal comprised with the devices credentials and the beacon credentials to an authentication server;

verifying that the device credentials have access to the mechanical device associated with the beacon credentials; and

sending a signal to operate the mechanical device.

2. The method for operating a mechanical device of claim 1 wherein the signal from the beacon comprises a Bluetooth signal.

3. The method for operating a mechanical device of claim 1 wherein the signal to operate the mechanical device is routed through a security protocol before operating the mechanical device.

4. The method for operating a mechanical device of claim 3 wherein the signal from the beacon is a Bluetooth signal.

5. The method for operating a mechanical device of claim 3 wherein the security protocol is a wiegand controller

6. The method for operating a mechanical device of claim 5 wherein the signal from the beacon is a Bluetooth signal.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the mechanical device is a door.

8. The system for operating a mechanical device of claim 7 wherein the signal from the beacon is a Bluetooth signal.

9. The method for operating a door of claim 7 wherein the signal to operate a mechanical device is sent through a security protocol before operating the mechanical device.

10. The method for operating a mechanical device of claim 9 wherein the signal from the beacon is a Bluetooth signal.

11. The method for operating a mechanical device of claim 5 wherein the security protocol is a wiegand controller

12. The method for operating a mechanical device of claim 11 wherein the signal from the beacon is a Bluetooth signal.

13. A system for actuating an entrance mechanism comprising:

a master server;

a device comprising a unique credential number stored in the master server;

a beacon utilized to broadcast a BILE signal;

a beacon credential number;

a OneKey™

device disposed to receive the BILE signal wherein the OneKey™

is comprises a OneKey™

software system specifically configured to maintain and operate the system and further configured to runs the BILE of the OneKey™

device'"'"'s to detect the beacon;

an authorization server disposed to receive and coordinate which device credential numbers have access to each beacon number from the master server;

a wiegand controller;

an access server;

a set of access panels;

wherein upon verification that the device credential number is associated with the beacon credential number, the authorization server sends a signal to the wiegand controller and wherein the wiegand controller is disposed to convert the signal to a wiegand security protocol and communicate with the access server;

wherein the access server communicates with the set of access panels to actuate an entrance mechanism associated with the beacon credential number.
