Abstract: An access control system is described and includes a server, a controller for regulating the accessibility of an entrance, and a mobile device having an application for user to trigger an access authentication process, means for collecting biometric information of the user, and a BLUETOOTH module to establish a BLUETOOTH communication link between the mobile device and the controller. The controller includes a communication module for connecting the controller to the server and mobile device for receiving updates on user access credentials, an access module for activating/deactivating a barrier of entrance, and a microprocessor for verifying the received user access credentials, generating an door execution command, and uploading the entrance status to the server.

Abstract: A method for recording attendance using BLUETOOTH-enabled mobile devices comprising the steps in the sequence set forth: triggering (104, 105), by a logged-in user, a respective mobile device to detect for surrounding BLUETOOTH beacons, wherein different user account each is assigned with their respective list of BLUETOOTH beacons for triggering the attendance recording; comparing (106), by the respective mobile device, the detected list of BLUETOOTH beacons with the assigned list of BLUETOOTH beacons of the corresponding user account and only retrieves one or more BLUETOOTH beacon IDs from BLUETOOTH beacons that are assigned to the corresponding user account; and forwarding (107), by the respective mobile device, the retrieved BLUETOOTH beacon ID(s) together with a retrieval timestamp to an administrator server for generating an attendance record.

Abstract: An alarm system including a plurality of alarm sensors, each having a BLUETOOTH module to establish communication link using a BLUETOOTH protocol to at least one neighbouring sensor in a way such that a BLUETOOTH Mesh Network is formed, and a controller connected to the BLUETOOTH Mesh Network, configured to monitor and manage the status of each alarm sensor and to trigger at least one alarm device based on the status of the alarm sensors, wherein the status data of each alarm sensor is transmitted to the controller, and vice versa, instructions of the controller are transmitted to at least one sensor via the BLUETOOTH Mesh Network.

Abstract: A control system for door lock includes a server, a controller linked to the server and a mobile device having an application for a user to trigger a door unlocking process, means for collecting biometric information of the user, a BLUETOOTH module to establish a BLUETOOTH communication link between the mobile device and the controller, and wherein the door unlocking process includes the mobile device performing a biometric authentication to verify the user and then transmitting an instruction to the controller via the BLUETOOTH link, and the controller, upon receiving the instruction, performs a second authentication to verify the user's accessibility and then unlock the door based on the outcomes of the authentications.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a comprehensive system and associated method for real-time monitoring and management of the patrolling operations by a number of security personnel. The present system includes one or more electronic communication devices that are configured to run a security patrol management application. The system further includes a centralized server running a server side security patrol management application capable of directly communicating with the security patrol management application running on the electronic communication devices. The server side security patrol management application includes a number of features that allows the administrators or managers for monitoring and managing the operations of the security personnel through an interactive visual interface of the application.

Abstract: A system and method for recording electronic attendance, comprising the steps of: establishing, by a mobile device, a communication link between a server and the mobile device; activating, an application of the mobile device via an verification process; upon activation of the application, detecting and identifying, by the application, a checkpoint station carrying information relating to a checkpoint identifier; establishing, by the mobile device, a communication link between the checkpoint station and the mobile device for data transmission; reading, by the application, information relating to the checkpoint identifier from the checkpoint station; generating, by the application, an encrypted attendance record; transmitting, by the application, the encrypted attendance record to the server via the communication network; decrypting, by a decoder of the server, the encrypted attendance record; and updating, by the server, the record to an attendance report of an account.
