1. An electronic user device comprising:
- one or more transceivers for receiving and transmitting wireless signals, wherein a transceiver of the one or more transceivers is configured to receive and transmit wireless signals over a short-range connection;
an electronic data store for storage of user device data;
a communication engine that;
detects a first wireless signal having been transmitted over a short-range connection by an electronic client device and having been received by the one or more transceivers at the electronic user device,in response to detection of the first wireless signal having been transmitted over the short-range connection from the electronic client device, facilitates transmission of a second wireless signal over the short-range connection using the one or more transceivers,wherein the second wireless signal includes an identifier associated with the electronic user device,detects a third wireless signal having been transmitted over the short-range connection by the electronic client device and having been received by the one or more transceivers at the electronic user device,wherein the third wireless signal includes an encrypted access-enabling code, andfacilitates storage of the encrypted access-enabling code in the electronic data store;
an input device configured to receive input providing a decryption key; and
a decoding engine that;
facilitates retrieval of the encrypted access-enabling code from the electronic data store, anddecrypts the encrypted access-enabling code using the decryption key to generate a decrypted access-enabling code;
an input device configured to obtain a stimulus generated by the electronic client device;
an access-right evaluation engine that;
facilitates verification of the stimulus, andgenerates a stimulus data relating to results of the verification; and
an interface engine that facilitates presentation of the stimulus data relating to the results of the verification.

Abstract
Communications over short-range connections are used to facilitate whether access to resources is to be granted. For example, upon device discovery of one of an electronic user device and an electronic client device by the other device over a Bluetooth Low Energy connection, an access-enabling code associated with a user device or account can be evaluated for validity and applicability with respect to one or more particular resource specifications. User identity can be verified by comparing the user against previously obtained biometric information.

11. An electronic client device comprising:
-
one or more transceivers for receiving and transmitting wireless signals, wherein a transceiver of the one or more transceivers is configured to receive and transmit wireless signals over a short-range connection; a communication engine that; detects a first wireless signal having been transmitted over a short-range connection by an electronic user device and having been received by the one or more transceivers, wherein the first wireless signal includes an identifier associated with the electronic user device; an access-right determination engine that; identifies a specification of a limited-access resource using the identifier associated with the electronic user device; facilitates determination of an access-enabling code using the specification of the limited-access resource; and an encoding engine for encrypting the access-enabling code using an encryption key to generate an encrypted access-enabling code; wherein the communication engine further facilitates transmission of a second wireless signal over the short-range connection to the electronic user device, wherein the second wireless signal includes the encrypted access-enabling code; an interface engine that facilitates presentation of a decryption key, wherein the decryption key is for decrypting the encrypted access-enabling code; and a display for presentation of data; wherein facilitating presentation of the decryption key to the electronic user device includes generating a display of a visual stimulus corresponding to the decryption key. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
