SCHEDULED ACCESS CONTROL FOR AN ELECTRONIC LOCK
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18672422 titled 'SCHEDULED ACCESS CONTROL FOR AN ELECTRONIC LOCK
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and apparatus to support scheduled access control for an electronic lock are described herein. An initiating central wireless device obtains an ephemeral identity resolving key (IRK) to use in resolving an ephemeral resolvable private address (RPA) of a peripheral wireless device. The initiating central wireless device can subsequently connect securely to the peripheral wireless device in order to unlock an electronic lock controlled by the peripheral wireless device to gain access during a scheduled time period. The ephemeral IRK and ephemeral RPA can be used for a limited period of time and/or for a predetermined number of usages during the scheduled time period.
