Access level management techniques
First Claim
1. A processor-implemented access level management method programmed in memory and/or a non-transitory computer-readable medium and to execute on one or more processors configured to execute the method, comprising:
- registering an individual for an access level including receiving a mobile device identifier from the individual, wherein the access level is relevant to access privileges for the individual available from different levels of access and including with the access level one of;
a specific queue, entrance, or aisle for directing the individual for service when the service is requested by the individual;
generating an electronic pass granting the individual access at the access level, wherein generating further includes generating the electronic pass as a mobile barcode encrypted to prevent fraudulent use of the mobile bar code without a mobile communication device of the individual; and
providing the electronic pass to the mobile communication device of the individual using the mobile device identifier for presenting to a network scanner for subsequent validation of the electronic pass, the network scanner further verifying the electronic pass by processing business rules that defined permitted time windows for the electronic pass and valid scanning locations for the electronic pass and wherein providing further includes providing message information to the mobile communication device that causes the mobile communication device to display a message directing the individual to the specific queue, the entrance, or the aisle for the access level when the electronic pass is successfully scanned by the network scanner.

Abstract
Access level management techniques which require less manual intervention. In one example, a registration system registers an individual for an access level and receives a mobile device identifier from the individual. The registration system generates an electronic pass, which may include a mobile barcode, granting the individual access at the requested access level, and provides the electronic pass to a mobile communication device of the individual using the mobile device identifier. In one application, an individual with a mobile barcode associated with priority access level privileges may be allowed to bypass a queue by using a priority lane.

15. An access level management system comprising:
a registration system for registering an individual for an access level including receiving a mobile device identifier from the individual, for generating an electronic pass granting the individual access at a location at the access level, the electronic pass generated as a mobile bar code for a mobile communication device of the individual to prevent fraudulent use of the mobile barcode with the mobile communication device of the individual, and providing the electronic pass to the mobile communication device of the individual using the mobile device identifier for presenting to a network scanner for subsequent validation of the electronic pass, the network scanner further verifying the electronic pass by processing business rules that defined permitted time windows for the electronic pass and valid scanning locations for the electronic pass, and wherein the access level is relevant to access privileges for the individual available from different levels of access and include with the access level one of;
a specific queue, entrance, or aisle to direct the individual for service when the service is requested by the individual, and wherein the registration system is configured to provide message information to the mobile device that causes the mobile device to display a message directing the individual to the specific queue, the entrance, or the aisle for the access level when the electronic pass is successfully scanned by the network scanner.- View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
