Abstract

Claims (50)

1. A resource management system for providing tokens associated with a resource, the resource management system comprising a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a login request from a user device associated with a user, wherein the login request includes at least one of a credential and a user identifier (ID) of the user;

authenticate the login request using the credential and the user ID;

receive, from a positioning system, location information associated with the resource when the login request is authenticated;

determine whether the user device is present within a threshold distance from the resource based on the location information;

receive, from the user device, a request for an access-enabling code to access the resource;

generate the access-enabling code based on the request;

determine a time-period lapsed after receiving the request for the access-enabling code;

determine whether the time-period is greater than a threshold time-period, wherein the threshold time-period is defined according to a resource-associated time corresponding to performance of the resource; and

transmit the access-enabling code to the user device when the time-period is determined to be greater than the threshold time-period, wherein the access-enabling code is utilized for accessing the resource.

2. The resource management system of claim 1 , wherein the positioning system is one of a global positioning system (GPS), a base station, a client point device, and a Wi-Fi access point.

3. The resource management system of claim 1 , wherein the access-enabling code includes an expiration time of the access-enabling code.

4. The resource management system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

obtain information related to availability of the resource; and

update a status of the access-enabling code associated with the resource based on the information.

5. The resource management system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to access a look up table to identify the access-enabling code corresponding to the request.

6. The resource management system of claim 1 , wherein the access-enabling code includes an alphanumeric string.

7. The resource management system of claim 6 , wherein the access-enabling code is encrypted using a key.

8. A resource management method, by a communication engine, for providing tokens associated with a resource, the resource management method comprising:

receiving a login request from a user device associated with a user, wherein the login request includes at least one of a credential and a user identifier (ID) of the user;

authenticating the login request using the credential and the user ID;

receiving, from a positioning system, location information associated with the resource when the login request is authenticated;

determining whether the user device is present within a threshold distance from the resource based on the location information;

receiving, from the user device, a request for an access-enabling code to access the resource;

generating the access-enabling code based on the request;

determining a time-period lapsed after receiving the request for the access-enabling code;

determining whether the time-period is greater than a threshold time-period, wherein the threshold time-period is defined according to a resource-associated time corresponding to performance of the resource; and

transmitting the access-enabling code to the user device when the time-period is determined to be greater than the threshold time-period, wherein the access-enabling code is utilized for accessing the resource.

9. The resource management method of claim 8 , wherein the positioning system is one of a global positioning system (GPS), a base station, a client point device, and a Wi-Fi access point.

10. The resource management method of claim 8 , wherein the access-enabling code includes an expiration time of the access-enabling code.

11. The resource management method of claim 8 , further comprising:

obtaining information related to availability of the resource; and

updating a status of the access-enabling code associated with the resource based on the information.

12. The resource management method of claim 8 , further comprising accessing a look up table to identify the access-enabling code corresponding to the request.

13. The resource management method of claim 8 , wherein the access-enabling code includes an alphanumeric string.

14. The resource management method of claim 9 , wherein the access-enabling code is encrypted using a key.

15. A computer-program product tangibly embodied in a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, including instructions configured to cause a communication engine of a resource management system to perform operations including:

receiving a login request from a user device associated with a user, wherein the login request includes at least one of a credential and a user identifier (ID) of the user;

authenticating the login request using the credential and the user ID;

receiving, from a positioning system, location information associated with a resource when the login request is authenticated;

determining whether the user device is present within a threshold distance from the resource based on the location information;

receiving, from the user device, a request for an access-enabling code to access the resource;

generating the access-enabling code based on the request;

determining a time-period lapsed after receiving the request for the access-enabling code;

determining whether the time-period is greater than a threshold time-period, wherein the threshold time-period is defined according to a resource-associated time corresponding to performance of the resource; and

transmitting the access-enabling code to the user device when the time-period is determined to be greater than the threshold time-period, wherein the access-enabling code is utilized for accessing the resource.

16. The computer-program product of claim 15 , wherein the positioning system is one of a global positioning system (GPS), a base station, a client point device, and a Wi-Fi access point.

17. The computer-program product of claim 15 , wherein the access-enabling code includes an expiration time of the access-enabling code.

18. The computer-program product of claim 15 , wherein the access-enabling code includes an alphanumeric string.

19. The computer-program product of claim 18 , wherein the access-enabling code is encrypted using a key.
