  • Wireless communication techniques for controlling access granted by a security device
    Patent number: 9449445
    Abstract: Wireless communication techniques are useful for controlling access granted by a security device (22). In a disclosed example, a communication portion (24) comprises a residential gateway that is capable of communicating with a mobile station (30) over a local network (32). The communication portion (24) is also capable of communicating with a remotely located server (40) over a secure network connection (42) such as over the internet. The mobile station (30) identifies itself to the security device (22). The mobile station identifier is verified to determine authorization to gain the requested access.
