Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes assigning each access device of a plurality of access devices to at least one respective space of a plurality of spaces, including assigning a first access device to a first space of the plurality of spaces, based on the first access device controlling access to the first space. One or more access devices, from among the plurality of access devices, that are assigned to the first space are grouped together into a first group of devices. A boundary of the first space is generated based at least in part on access data generated by the first group of devices, where the access data describes access to the first space by way of the one or more access devices in the first group of devices.

Abstract: An access control system is provided and includes a control device disposed to restrict access to a secured resource and a networked device disposed in signal communication with the control device. The networked device requests authentication of a user from a trusted device responsive to a presentation of credentials to the control device in a request for access to the secured resource, the credentials are associated with access rights of the user, the networked device is receptive of the authentication, and the control device permits a level of access to the secured resource in accordance with the access rights upon the reception of the authentication.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention are directed towards method system and devices assisting a user in providing seamless access to a user through an access point of the access system. The invention describes estimating various factors such as time, distance, and signal strength enabling frictionless access to the user. The invention describes adjusting the time interval and the signal strength according to the needs of the user. Various other embodiments of the invention describes estimating a threshold signal strength and time interval based on a distance of the user from the access point.

Abstract: A method of location-behavioral monitoring is provided. The method comprising: storing an access list associated with an identification credential; collecting historical location parameters associated with the identification credential; receiving schedule parameters associated with the identification credential; determining a predicted location schedule associated with the identification credential in response to the historical location parameters and schedule parameters; collecting location parameters associated with identification credential; and determining a risk rating associated with each location parameter in response to the predicted location schedule, location parameters, and the access list.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention are directed towards method system and devices assisting a user in providing seamless access to a user through an access point of the access system. The invention describes adjusting the threshold signal strength used by the user terminal to access an access point. The adjustment to the threshold signal strength is determined by determining a change in the time interval based on different time stamps. The different time stamps are registered when a user with the user terminal attempts to access the access point.

Abstract: A collaborative alarm monitoring system (100) includes a security system host server (106) and a chat session server (116). The security host server is in signal communication with at least one security panel (102A, 102B) to receive an alert signal in response to a detected alarm event. The chat session server is in signal communication with the security system host server and is configured to store a chat session protocol and software that when executed by a hardware processor executes a chat session. A monitoring device (110A, 110B, 110C) alerts an operator of the alarm event in response to receiving the alert signal. The monitoring device includes a chat session client that generates a chat session interface to display an alarm event thread indicative of the alarm event. The chat session server generates a communication stream for each alarm event, and the communication stream is individually displayed on the chat session interface of the monitoring device.
