Abstract:
Described herein is a system for controlling access to a physical location. In some embodiments, a user device may provide user credentials to an input device of the access system. The input device may transmit the user credentials to a splitter, in some examples, permit access to the physical location via an access control board. In other examples, the input device may transmit the user credentials from a splitter to a network-connected gateway and then permit access to the physical location via the access control board. In either example, the power and signal wires may be reused for the splitter and/or network-connected gateway. The access control board may be coupled with an electrically-controlled device and configured to allow access to the physical location with one or more electronic signals to the electrically-controlled device. The electrically-controlled device may allow access when the user credentials are authenticated by the system.

Claim (Index 8):
An access system, comprising:\n an electrically-controlled device configured to, at least in part, control access to a physical location; an access control board electronically coupled with the electrically-controlled device and configured at least to control the electrically-controlled device with one or more electronic signals; a user credential input device configured at least to receive a user credential and transmit the user credential over a first set of signal wires in a first data format in accordance with a standardized security protocol; a user credential user interface configured to:\n receive a valid time range for allowing access to the physical location; and \n update the user credential to correspond with the access to the physical location during the valid time range; and \n a splitter communicatively connected with the user credential input device utilizing the first set of signal wires, communicatively connected with the access control board utilizing a second set of signal wires, and configured at least to:\n transmit electronic signals between the first set of signal wires and the second set of signal wires; \n receive wireless signals at a wireless receiver communicatively coupled with the splitter, the wireless signals comprising a user credential encoded in a second data format distinct from the first data format; \n based at least in part on a comparison between a current time and the valid time range received from the user credential user interface, verify that the user credential encoded in the second data format is a valid user credential with a network-connected gateway of the splitter; and \n when the verifying is successful, passing an access credential to the access control board with the second set of signal wires; \n wherein the access control board is independent of an electrical power connection with the splitter.
