Abstract: An illustrative example access management device includes a processor, memory associated with the processor, a receiver configured to receive wireless communications, and a transmitter configured to wirelessly communicate with other devices. The memory contains an application. The receiver receives an access request from a user device and the transmitter wirelessly communicate payload to a lock for unlocking the lock when the processor invokes the application in the memory and thereby determines that the received access request is an authorized request.

Abstract: A method for credentialing access to a restricted area includes receiving a reservation request at a reservation server and extracting reservation information from the reservation request using the reservation server. The reservation information includes at least a set of authorized visitors from the reservation request, a timestamp of the reservation request, and a room identifier of the reservation request. The method passes the reservation information to a credentialing server, authenticates the reservation request by at least verifying a payment, and provides an access credential to each visitor in the set of authorized visitors.
