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 an access notification identifying cellular identifier associated with a wireless device, the wireless device requesting wireless access to a wireless network;
comparing the cellular identifier to invitees associated with a meeting;
determining a user associated with the wireless device is an invitee to a meeting based on the cellular identifier matching the invitees associated with the meeting;
querying an electronic database for a destination associated with the meeting, the electronic database electronically associating waypoints to destinations including the destination associated with the meeting;
determining the waypoints in the electronic database that are electronically associated with the destination associated with the meeting; and
generating an electronic entry instruction in response to the wireless device approaching the destination associated with the meeting.

Abstract
Physical access to secure areas is automatically performed based on presence or detection of a wireless device. A unique identifier of a wireless cellular device, for example, may be pre-authorized for occupants, employees, and tenants of a building. Contractors and vendors may also have their wireless cellular devices pre-approved for access. When the wireless cellular device is detected by a network serving the secure area, its unique identifier may be compared to databases or lists of approved cellular devices. Physical access may thus be automatically granted, based on possession of a recognized cellular device.

9. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, at a server, an access notification identifying a cellular identifier associated with a wireless device requesting access to a wireless network; comparing, by the server, the cellular identifier to invitees associated with a meeting; determining, by the server, a user associated with the wireless device is an invitee to the meeting based on the cellular identifier matching the invitees associated with the meeting; querying, by the server, an electronic database for a destination associated with the meeting, the electronic database electronically associating waypoints to destinations including the destination associated with the meeting; identifying, by the server, the waypoints in the electronic database that are electronically associated with the destination associated with the meeting; and generating, by the server, an electronic entry instruction in response to the wireless device approaching the destination associated with the meeting according to the waypoints. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A memory device storing instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
-
receiving an access notification identifying a cellular identifier associated with a wireless device requesting access to a wireless network serving a secure area; querying an electronic database of meetings for the cellular identifier, the electronic database of meetings electronically associating cellular identifiers as invitees to a meeting; identifying the cellular identifier as one of the cellular identifiers electronically associated to the meeting; determining a user associated with the wireless device is an invitee of the invitees to the meeting; querying an electronic database for a destination associated with the meeting, the electronic database electronically associating waypoints to destinations including the destination associated with the meeting; identifying the waypoints in the electronic database that are electronically associated with the destination associated with the meeting; comparing locations associated with the wireless device to the waypoints that are electronically associated with the destination associated with the meeting; and generating an electronic entry instruction in response to the wireless device approaching the destination associated with the meeting according to the waypoints. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
