Power management system for access control devices
First Claim
1. A method for managing access devices at a place of hospitality, comprising:
- determining a first location of a device of a user;
determining that the user is authorized access to a controlled area;
determining that the first location of the device of the user is within a first area proximate to the controlled area; and
transmitting, based on the determination that the first location of the user device is within the first area proximate to the controlled area, a first signal to an access device associated with the controlled area, wherein the first signal causes the access device to operate in a first power mode, wherein the first power mode enables the access device to receive a second signal, wherein the second signal causes the access device to allow access to the controlled area.

Abstract
Managing an access device associated with a controlled area at a place of hospitality is described. A location of a device of a user is determined. A controlled area that the user is authorized to access is determined. The location of the device of the user is monitored, and when the location of the device of the user is within a first area proximate to the controlled area, a first signal is transmitted to an access device associated with the controlled area. The first signal is used to manage an operation of the access device. An additional location of the device of the user may be determined. When the additional location of the device of the user is within a second area proximate to the controlled area, a second signal used to enable access to the controlled area is transmitted to the access device.

14. A device for providing access to a controlled area at a place of hospitality, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to; determine a location of a device of a user, wherein the user is authorized access to the controlled area; determine that the location of the device of the user is within a predetermined distance from the controlled area; and transmit, based on the determination that the location of the device of the user is within the predetermined distance from the controlled area, a first signal to an access device associated with the controlled area, wherein the first signal causes the access device to operate in a first power mode, wherein the first power mode enables the access device to receive a second signal, wherein the second signal causes the access device to allow access to the controlled area. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. A system for providing access to a controlled area at a place of hospitality, comprising:
-
an access device configured to control access to the controlled area based on a determination that a user device is located within a first distance from the controlled area, wherein the determination is based on a first signal received from the user device; an access management device in communication with the access device, comprising a wherein the access management device is configured to; determine a location of the user device; determine that a user associated with the user device is authorized access to the controlled area; determine that the location of the user device is located within a second distance from the controlled area; and transmit, based on the determination that the location of the user device is within the second distance from the controlled area, a second signal to the access device, wherein the second signal causes the access device to operate in a power mode. - View Dependent Claims (19)
