Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to electronic access control. An access control server maintains data associated with a plurality of electronic locks. A user is issued an electronic key for unlocking one or more electronic locks. The user can be assigned to a group. Members of the group are permitted to access a subset of the plurality of electronic locks. A first key configuration is transmitted to the electronic key, the first key configuration permitting the user to access the subset of electronic locks. The access control server accesses personnel data related to the user and determines whether the personnel data satisfies a condition associated with the group. Responsive to determining that the condition is not satisfied, the user is removed from the group and a second key configuration is transmitted to the electronic key, the second key configuration preventing the user from accessing the subset of electronic locks.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to electronic access control. An electronic key can access a set of one or more electronic locks according to scheduled access permissions. Access schedules may define one or more authorized time periods during which access to an electronic lock is permitted. Access schedules can be generated based on user input received via a user interface. A key configuration corresponding to an access schedule is transmitted from a server to the electronic key. The set of electronic locks includes at least one lock designated as a conditional access lock. The conditional access lock is associated with access control information including at least one of environment data or personnel data. Responsive to determining that the access control information does not meet one or more criteria, the server automatically adjusts access schedules and generates a corresponding key configuration for the electronic key.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to systems and methods for administering access to resources in an access control system. In one implementation, the access control system comprises an electronic lock for restricting access to a resource. An electronic key can deliver a signal based on an access credential to the electronic lock to initiate an unlocking event for facilitating access to the resource. An access validation engine can process access control information related to access conditions. Access to resources may be granted according to scheduled access permissions. In other aspects, access to resources can be granted based on access conditions. The access validation engine can evaluate whether access to a resource is authorized based on a determination that one or more access conditions are satisfied. An unlocking signal can be delivered to the electronic lock in response to a determination that the one or more access conditions are satisfied.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to remote administration of a portable electronic key. An activation signal may be delivered to wireless communications circuitry of the portable electronic key to enable the key to perform one or more tasks. A smart device can receive information related to the activation signal from a server device. The smart device may deliver the activation signal to the portable electronic key via a wireless communications link established in accordance with a wireless networking standardized communications protocol. A user verification procedure may be performed at one of the portable electronic key and the smart device. The user verification procedure may indicate if a holder of the portable electronic key is authorized to use the key. Delivery of the activation signal may be initiated in response to completion of the user verification procedure.
