Abstract:
1. A non-transitory, computer readable medium storing instructions that when executed by a processor cause it to perform a method for changing authentication for a legacy access interface utilizing an access adapter and at least one Bluetooth-enabled device, the method comprising: by the access adapter: detecting a user action or the presence of an object corresponding to a user request within a predetermined proximity of the access adapter; automatically scanning Bluetooth devices within a pre-determined Bluetooth proximity of the access adapter; determining if a Bluetooth-enabled device that has at least one stored digital key and that is authorized for access is within the pre-determined Bluetooth proximity of the access adapter; transmitting a transaction request corresponding to a found Bluetooth-enabled device to the found Bluetooth-enabled device or to a database; and the method further comprising: by the found Bluetooth-enabled device: obtaining the transaction request; obtaining a user authorization; authorizing the transaction request using an authorization application; and the method further comprising: by the access adapter: automatically obtaining an access code corresponding to the found Bluetooth-enabled device from the found Bluetooth-enabled device or from the database; performing an action selected from an action group consisting of: automatically providing the access code directly from the access adapter to the legacy access interface, automatically keying in the access code to the legacy access interface, and automatically sending a Radio Frequency Identification signal comprising the access code to the legacy access interface; and the method further comprising: by the legacy access interface: granting access to a user upon a successful verification of the access code.
