Abstract

According to a first aspect, it is presented a method for requesting access to a physical space controlled by an electronic lock. The method is performed in a user device and comprises the steps of: reading a tag using a near field radio protocol, yielding a tag identifier, the tag being distinct from the electronic lock; finding, based on the tag identifier, a lock identifier associated with the tag identifier, wherein the tag identifier is distinct from the lock identifier; and sending an access request message to the electronic lock having the lock identifier.
