Abstract: Disclosed is a method for access control, that may include detecting a tactile or a proximity action by a body on a sensor of an electronic device, wherein the electronic device operates in first and second operating modes upon detection of the tactile and proximity actions, respectively. The method may further include generating by the electronic device, first and second signals in first and second operating modes respectively, wherein the each of first and second signals is a very low frequency/low frequency (VLF/LF) electromagnetic signal. The method may further include transmitting the first signal from the electronic device to a receiver through direct touch between a touch panel and the body, or transmitting the second signal from the electronic device to the receiver through air, wherein the receiver is located in close proximity to the body; receiving by the electronic device, a signal in response to said first or second signals from the receiver.

Abstract: The method and system for access control, comprising detecting, by the electronic lock a tactile action by a body on a tactile sensor. The electronic lock transmitting a first signal using very low frequency band in response to said detection of tactile action through said body. The electronic key fob receives the first electromagnetic signal, where the first signal is transmitted through a body in contact with a transmitter of said first electromagnetic signal i.e. the electronic lock. Further, the electronic key fob transmits a second electromagnetic signal in response to receipt of said first electromagnetic signal. The electronic lock receives the second signal in response to said first signal and disengages or engages a lock in response to said received second signal.
