Abstract
A multi-device electronic access control application, method and system. Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide for an end user mobile application that inter-operates with various types of electronic locking devices in a simple, repeatable method to enable a user to unlock any make or model of electronic access control device, if they are authorized to do so at that site, time and purpose, from a single mobile application user interface. An end user mobile application may be communicably engaged with a remote application server to integrate with enterprise backend user/site data and alarm systems, such that the end user mobile application is configured to manage user authorization/authentication, site access protocols/permissions and alarm management. An electronic access control method may comprise one or more steps for authorizing a user; suppressing an alarm; and unlocking an electronic locking device with a specified method for the given access point.
