Devices, methods and computer readable mediums for providing access control
Various implementation described herein are directed to a method for providing access control. User information is received at a device. A request to provide access control is generated by the device based on the received user information. The request is transmitted via a network to an access manager. A response to the request is received from the access manager. Access control via the device is provided based on the response to the request.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving user information at a device;
generating, by the device, a request to provide access control and/or payment based on the received user information, the request comprising a payment authorization request;
transmitting the payment authorization request via a WIFI network to a locally administered access manager;
determining, by the locally administered access manager, an eligibility of a response via a lookup process based on the received user information, wherein the received user information comprises at least payment tokens, and wherein the locally administered access manager includes a listing of allowed payment tokens corresponding to one or more permitted dates and time intervals;
transmitting, by the locally administered access manager, the payment authorization request to an acquirer based on the determined eligibility of the response;
generating, by the acquirer, the response to the payment authorization request;
transmitting, by the acquirer, the response to the payment authorization request to the locally administered access manager;
receiving the response to the request via the WIFI network from the locally administered access manager; and
providing access control via the device based on the response to the payment authorization request.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the locally administered access manager determines the response via the lookup process using the received user information.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the payment authorization request comprises a zero-value or low-value payment authorization request.
