Controlling physical access to secure areas via client devices in a network environment
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with executable instructions that, when executed, cause at least one computing device to at least:
- identify a request to receive a physical access credential, wherein the request comprises at least one user access credential associated with the mobile device and at least one physical access point identifier, the at least one physical access point identifier being associated with a physical lock actuator;
authenticate the at least one user access credential;
determine whether the mobile device is in compliance with at least one compliance rule, the at least one compliance rule comprising a mobile device management restriction and a hardware restriction, the mobile device management restriction comprising a requirement that the mobile device be enrolled with a mobile device management system and the hardware restriction comprising a requirement that the mobile device includes particular computer hardware components; and
when the at least one user access credential is authenticated and the mobile device is in compliance with the at least one compliance rule;
authorize the mobile device to receive the physical access credential through the computer network, andauthorize the mobile device to transmit the physical access credential to the physical lock actuator associated with the at least one physical access point identifier to cause the physical lock actuator to be in an unlocked state.

Abstract
A method is disclosed for providing physical access credentials to a client device. The method may include receiving a request for a physical access credential, where the first request includes at least one user access credential and at least one physical access point identifier. The method may also include determining whether the request should be granted based at least in part on the at least one user access credential. The method may further include, in response to determining that the request should be granted, sending the physical access credential associated with the physical access point.

8. A system, comprising:
-
at least one computing device; and an application executed by the at least one computing device, the application configured to cause the at least one computing device to at least; identify a request for a physical access credential, wherein the request comprises at least one user access credential associated with the mobile device and at least one physical access point identifier, the at least one physical access point identifier being associated with a physical lock actuator; authenticate the at least one user access credential; determine whether the mobile device is in compliance with at least one compliance rule, the at least one compliance rule comprising a mobile device management restriction and a hardware restriction, the mobile device management restriction comprising a requirement that the mobile device be enrolled with a mobile device management system and the hardware restriction comprising a requirement that the mobile device includes particular computer hardware components; and when the at least one user access credential is authenticated and the mobile device is in compliance with the at least one compliance rule; authorize the mobile device to receive the physical access credential through the computer network, and authorize the mobile device to transmit the physical access credential to the physical lock actuator associated with the at least one physical access point identifier to cause the physical lock actuator to be in an unlocked state. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method comprising:
-
identifying a request to receive a physical access credential, wherein the request comprises at least one user access credential associated with the mobile device and at least one physical access point identifier, the at least one physical access point identifier being associated with a physical lock actuator; authenticating the at least one user access credential; determining whether the mobile device is in compliance with at least one compliance rule, the at least one compliance rule comprising a mobile device management restriction and a hardware restriction, the mobile device management restriction comprising a requirement that the mobile device be enrolled with a mobile device management system and the hardware restriction comprising a requirement that the mobile device includes particular computer hardware components; and when the at least one user access credential is authenticated and the mobile device is in compliance with the at least one compliance rule; authorizing the mobile device to receive the physical access credential through the computer network, and authorizing the mobile device to transmit the physical access credential to the physical lock actuator associated with the at least one physical access point identifier to cause the physical lock actuator to be in an unlocked state. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
