Abstract

A method of advertisement filtering including receiving Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) advertisements from a multiple of access controls; filtering the received Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) advertisements based on a credential on the mobile device; comparing the filtered received Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) advertisements; and determining a user intent to access a particular access control in response to the comparing.

Claims (20)

1. A method of Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) advertisement filtering to determine a particular access control, comprising:

receiving Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) advertisements from each of a multiple of access controls on a mobile device;

filtering the Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) received advertisements based on a credential on the mobile device;

comparing the filtered received Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) advertisements;

sorting the filtered received Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) advertisements based on a RSSI (received signal strength indicator);

determining a user intent to open the particular access control in response to the comparing and the sorting while the particular access control is within range of the mobile device; and

opening the particular access control in response to the user intent.

2. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising sorting the filtered received Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) advertisements based on a locationing system separate from the advertisement where the precise location and distance relative to the access control is known.

3. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising sorting the filtered received Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) advertisements based on a direction of the mobile device.

4. The method as recited in 3 , further comprising determining the direction by a compass on the mobile device.

5. The method as recited in claim 3 , further comprising determining the direction via triangulation with dual Bluetooth antennas on the mobile device.

6. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising presenting the filtered received Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) advertisements as a list on the mobile device for selection by the user.

7. The method as recited in claim 6 , further comprising permitting scrolling of the list and selecting from the list based on gesturing with the mobile device.

8. The method as recited in claim 6 , further comprising permitting filtering of the received Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) advertisements by the altitude of the mobile device.

9. The method as recited in claim 6 , further comprising sorting the list based on one or more categories.

10. The method as recited in claim 6 , further comprising sorting the list based on a prior selection.

11. The method as recited in claim 6 , further comprising sorting the list based on the last access control opened.

12. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a secondary interface to provide additional information to the mobile device wherein the additional information includes information from a NFC (Near Field Communication) tag.

13. The method as recited in claim 12 , wherein the NFC (Near Field Communication) tag is associated with each of the multiple of access controls.

14. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein further comprising a secondary interface to provide additional information to the mobile device, the additional information includes information from a barcode or QR code associated with each of the multiple of access controls.
