Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
(a) a plurality of local identifiers associated with a resource and configured to communicate with a user device to provide at least one of the plurality of local identifiers to the user device;
(b) a credential reader associated with the resource and configured to communicate with the user device to receive an access request dataset from the user device;
(c) a plurality of access control devices that are selectively operable by the credential reader to prevent or provide access to the resource;
(d) a local processor that is communicatively coupled to the credential reader, and configured to access a local validation dataset stored by a local memory; and
(e) a remote server that is communicatively coupled to the user device;, wherein the remote server is configured to:
(i) receive a local identifier dataset from the user device that includes at least one of the plurality of local identifiers, and determine whether an access request for the resource is valid based on the local identifier dataset; and
(ii) where the access request for the resource is valid, provide an access request dataset to the user device, wherein the access request dataset is configured to cause the user device to present at least a portion of the access request dataset to be received by the credential reader;, wherein the remote server does not require:
(i) that the user device be associated with any pre-configured account for accessing the resource in order to provide the access request dataset to the user device; and
(ii) that the user device be configured with any software application other than a web browser application in order to receive the local identifier dataset from the user device, wherein the local processor is configured to:
(A) receive at least a portion of the access request dataset from the user device and via the credential reader, and determine whether the access request for the resource is locally valid based on at least a portion of the access request dataset and the local validation dataset; and
(B) where the access request for the resource is locally valid, operate the access control device to provide access to the resource;, wherein the resource comprises a plurality of storage compartments each uniquely associated with one of the plurality of the local identifiers, and the plurality of the access control devices, and wherein each storage compartment is accessed via a door that is coupled to one of the plurality of access control devices; and wherein the credential reader and the local processor are not communicatively coupled to the internet.
