A newly granted patent (Publication Number: US12002315B2) outlines a system designed to grant users physical access to facilities using their mobile devices. The system involves a processor, communication interface, and memory device that work together to receive user data, process access requests, and transmit readable access codes to the user's mobile device. These codes are then used to unlock mechanical locking mechanisms at access control points within the facility, allowing approved users to gain entry. The system also includes features such as creating different types of access codes, receiving virtual identifications, and determining the appropriate access code based on the location and type of reader device.

Furthermore, the patent details a method for granting physical access to facilities, which involves receiving user data, transmitting access requests, and creating readable access codes for different types of reader devices. The method also includes steps for receiving virtual identities, determining the correct access code, and unlocking the mechanical locking mechanisms at access control points. Additionally, the method covers scenarios where multiple access points with different reader devices are present, ensuring that the system can accommodate various access requirements within the facility. Overall, the patent highlights a sophisticated system that leverages mobile technology and secure access protocols to streamline and enhance the physical access control process for users.
