System and Method for Communicating and Authenticating an Access Code

摘要

A method for more efficiently enabling access to an enclosure is disclosed. Such a method includes designating, on a computing device, an access code intended to enable access to an enclosure. The method further communicates, over a network, a first copy of the access code to a control mechanism configure to control access to the enclosure. A second copy of the access code is communicated, over the network, to an end user device configured to directly communicate the second copy to the control mechanism. In certain embodiments, the end user device wirelessly communicates the second copy to the control mechanism using a short distance communication protocol. A corresponding system is also disclosed.
