Patent number: 11562608Abstract: Embodiments of the present application generally relate to controlling ingress/egress through entryway devices. More particularly, but not exclusively, embodiments of the present invention relate to attaining confirmation of intent relating to access to a controlled opening. According to certain embodiments, the credential device and/or the user of the credential device is prompted to provide a response, or otherwise is to perform certain actions, that can demonstrate a confirmation of intent to gain access to the controlled opening. Such responses and/or actions can be evaluated to determine authority to gain access to the controlled opening. Further, such intent confirmation events may, depending on the embodiment, be performed before or after credential information is communicated from the credential device and/or before or after pairing of the access control device and the credential device.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2021Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: Schlage Lock Company LLCInventors: Jeremy Earles, Joseph W.

Patent number: 11023875Abstract: A system and method for the management of electronic credentials stored on mobile devices. The system may encrypt information that is provided to a lock device and an access control system using diversification keys. The diversification keys may be generated by supplying a master key and a component identifier such as, for example, a mobile device identifier, to a diversification algorithm. The mobile device may be a conduit for the communication of information between the access control system and the lock device. The mobile device may be unable to decrypt information that has been encrypted by a diversification key. Embodiments also provide for enrolling administrative mobile devices with the access control system, the distribution and revocation of credential identifiers for user mobile device, and removing administrative mobile devices that are enrolled with lock devices.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2019Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: Schlage Lock Company LLCInventors: Todd Eberwine, Jeffrey S. Neafsey, Jon P. Torre, Donald L. Beene, Hamid Abouhashem, Michelle Vickrey, Andrew Oliver

Patent number: 10574655Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling a network access control system that includes a server encrypting a first identifier that can be related to a registered user and communicating the encrypted first identifier to the mobile device. The lock device receives, from the mobile device, a first data set that includes at least the encrypted first identifier. The lock device may encrypt the first data set to generate a second data set and communicates the encrypted second data set to the mobile device. The server receives a third data set that includes at least the encrypted second data set and a second identifier that can also be related to the registered user. The server extracts from the communicated third data set the first and second identifiers, and the extracted first and second identifiers are compared to verify that the second identifier is indeed related to the first identifier.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2018Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Schlage Lock Company LLCInventors: Jeffrey S. Neafsey, Joseph W. Baumgarte, Matthew Dexter, Ed Harrold
