CPC Class G07C

A physical access control system, PACS, (100) comprises at least one reader (103) and a method performed comprises a number of actions that begin with obtaining a first indication that the at least one reader (103) requires reader configuration information. In response to the first indication, the control unit obtains the required reader configuration information. A protocol (108, 110) with which the at least one reader (103) is capable of communicating with a control unit (101) is determined and the required reader configuration information is then interpreted into protocol specific data. Using the determined protocol, the control unit (101) then transmits the protocol specific data to the at least one reader (103).

A lock device is configured to receive a credential from a mobile device. The lock device is configured to monitor the distance between the mobile device and the lock device. The lock device is configured to detect an intent action by a user of the mobile device and unlock the lock device if the mobile device is within a predetermined distance from the lock device and the intent action is an approved intent action.

A method to learn and then pair with a pre-installed access control system of a vehicle is discussed. Communication is exchanged between the access control system and a backend cloud-based system. Required data of the access control system including its particular authentication code is extracted by a learning device. A vehicle matching data is sent to the backend cloud-based system and the vehicle is registered with the backend cloud-based system. The learning device is registered to the access control system in accordance with learning procedures implemented in the vehicle as remote entry key. The learning device is coupled to a Radio Frequency signal transmitter that has Application-Specific Integrated Circuits to generate stable RF signals at multiple frequency wavelengths. Registration of learning device includes, receiving a first access control telegram message, transmitting the first access control telegram message to the access control system, pairing the learning device with the access control system.
