Method and apparatus for detecting when a mobile device is left in a room

1. A method of detecting when a mobile device is left in a room, the

method comprising:

receiving a status of an access control operably connected to a door of a room;

collecting positional data of a mobile device;

determining a location of the mobile device relative to the room; and

activating an alarm in response to the location determined;

activating a microphone on the mobile device for a selected time period after the alarm is activated;

receiving an audible command on mobile device within the selected time period; and

transmitting an access request to the access control in response to the audible command.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein positional data further comprises:

a location of the mobile device relative to the door when the status of the access control was generated.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein positional data further comprises:

a derivative of a location of the mobile device relative to the door within a selected time period of when the status of the access control was generated.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the alarm is activated on at least one of a room management system, the mobile device, and the access controller.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the status of the access control is advertised by the access control using wireless signal.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein:

the wireless signal is Bluetooth.

7. A computer program product tangibly embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer program product including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving a status of an access control operably connected to a door of a room;

collecting positional data of a mobile device;

determining a location of the mobile device relative to the room;

activating an alarm in response to the location determined;

activating a microphone on the mobile device for a selected time period after the alarm is activated;

receiving an audible command on mobile device within the selected time period; and

transmitting an access request to the access control in response to the audible command.

8. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein positional data further comprises:

a location of the mobile device relative to the door when the status of the access control was generated.

9. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein positional data

further comprises:

a derivative of a location of the mobile device relative to the door within a selected time period of when the status of the access control was generated.

10. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein:

the alarm is activated on at least one of a room management system, the mobile device, and the access controller.

11. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein:

the status of the access control is advertised by the access control using wireless signal.

12. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein:

the wireless signal is Bluetooth.

13. A method of detecting when a mobile device is left in a room, the

method comprising:

receiving a status of an access control operably connected to a door of a room;

collecting positional data of a mobile device;

determining a location of the mobile device relative to the room; and

activating an alarm in response to the location determined;

activating a microphone on a room management system for a selected time period after the alarm is activated;

receiving an audible command on the room management system within the selected time period; and

transmitting an access request to the access control in response to the audible command.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein positional data further comprises:

a location of the mobile device relative to the door when the status of the access control was generated.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein positional data further comprises:

a derivative of a location of the mobile device relative to the door within a selected time period of when the status of the access control was generated.

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein:

the alarm is activated on at least one of a room management system, the mobile device, and the access controller.

17. The method of claim 13 , wherein:

the status of the access control is advertised by the access control using wireless signal.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein:

the wireless signal is Bluetooth.

19. A computer program product tangibly embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer program product including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving a status of an access control operably connected to a door of a room;

collecting positional data of a mobile device;

determining a location of the mobile device relative to the room;

activating an alarm in response to the location determined;

activating a microphone on a room management system for a selected time period after the alarm is activated;

receiving an audible command on the room management system within the selected time period; and

transmitting an access request to the access control in response to the audible command.

20. The computer program product of claim 19 , wherein positional data further comprises:

a location of the mobile device relative to the door when the status of the access control was generated.

21. The computer program product of claim 19 , wherein positional data

further comprises:

a derivative of a location of the mobile device relative to the door within a selected time period of when the status of the access control was generated.

22. The computer program product of claim 19 , wherein:

the alarm is activated on at least one of a room management system, the mobile device, and the access controller.

23. The computer program product of claim 19 , wherein:

the status of the access control is advertised by the access control using wireless signal.

24. The computer program product of claim 23 , wherein:

the wireless signal is Bluetooth.
