1. A system comprising:

  • an electronic user device comprising;

    one or more transceivers for receiving signals, a transceiver of the one or more transceivers being configured to receive signals transmitted over a short-range connection;

    a communication engine that detects a first wireless signal having been transmitted over the short-range connection by an electronic client device and having been received by the one or more transceivers at the electronic user device;

    an access-right detection engine that;

    in response to the detection of the first wireless signal having been transmitted over the short-range connection from the electronic client device, identifies a specification of a limited-access resource, the limited-access resource including an event; and

    facilitates a query of a data store using the specification of the limited-access resource for an access-enabling code indicating that a ticket has been acquired to attend the event, the data store being configured to store, for each of one or more events, an access-enabling code indicating that a ticket has been acquired to attend the event;

    an access-right evaluation engine that generates a second wireless signal to be transmitted by the one or more transceivers that includes;

    a request for stimulus data; and

    the access-enabling code; and

    an interface engine that;

    detects the stimulus data having been included in a third wireless signal received by the one or more transceivers; and

    facilitates a presentation of a visual stimulus for visual confirmation of access to the limited-access resource, the visual stimulus;



    being one of a set of different visual stimuli indicating that the access to the limited-access resource is to be granted; and



    corresponding to the stimulus data; and

    the electronic client device comprising;

    one or more client-device transceivers that;

    transmit the first wireless signal;

    receive the second wireless signal that includes the request for stimulus data and the access-enabling code; and

    transmit the third wireless signal that includes the stimulus data responsive to the request and to a determination that the received access-enabling code is proper; and

    a client-device interface engine that facilitates a client-device presentation of a client-device visual stimulus that corresponds to the stimulus data, so that visual stimulus presented on the electronic user device and the visual stimulus presented on the electronic client device can be matched for confirmation for access of the limited-access resource.
