Abstract
Systems and techniques are presented for processing a user through an entry location using a mobile device. User input is received indicating a request for access through the entry location. In response to receiving the user input, one or more images are captured and analyzed. A code is identified in the images based on the analysis and the code is translated to a code identifier. The code identifier uniquely identifies the code from several codes. A gate entry device is selected based on the code identifier from several gate entry devices. Further, a signal is transmitted to the gate entry device to grant access through the entry location.
