1. A system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory device, the memory device storing instructions, the instructions when executed causing the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising;
receiving packets of data identifying a cellular identifier associated with a wireless device, the wireless device requesting wireless access to a wireless network serving a secure area;
determining a user associated with the wireless device is an invitee to a meeting;
querying an electronic database for a destination associated with the meeting, the electronic database electronically associating routes to destinations including the destination associated with the meeting;
identifying locational waypoints in the electronic database that are electronically associated with the destination associated with the meeting;
comparing a location associated with the wireless device to the locational waypoints; and
generating an electronic entry instruction in response to the wireless device approaching the destination associated with the meeting;
wherein the electronic entry instruction permits physical access to the secure area.

Abstract
Physical access to secure areas is automatically performed based on presence or detection of a wireless device. When a wireless cellular device is detected by a network serving a secure building, a unique identifier of the wireless cellular device is obtained. The identifier of the wireless cellular device may be compared to electronic calendars. If a matching calendar entry is determined, then the wireless cellular device is calendared to meet an employee or tenant inside the building. Physical access may thus be automatically granted, based on possession of a recognized cellular device.

8. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a server, packets of data describing a cellular identifier associated with a wireless device, the wireless device requesting wireless access to a wireless network serving a secure area; determining, by the server, a user associated with the wireless device is an invitee to a meeting; querying, by the server, an electronic database for a destination associated with the meeting, the electronic database electronically associating routes to destinations including the destination associated with the meeting; identifying, by the server, a route comprising waypoints of service set identifiers in the electronic database that is electronically associated with the destination associated with the meeting; comparing, by the server, a network identifier reported by the wireless device to the waypoints of service set identifiers; and generating, by the server, an electronic entry instruction in response to the wireless device tracking along the waypoints of service set identifiers to the destination associated with the meeting; and sending, by the server, the electronic entry instruction via a communications network to a network address associated with a controller; wherein the electronic entry instruction permits physical access to the secure area based on the network identifier reported by the wireless device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
