Systems, devices, methods, and machine-readable media configured to dispense cards for card printing are provided. A card hopper can include a base, sidewalls extending from the base, the sidewalls configured to hold a stack of cards therebetween, a card lifter assembly including a ramp, the card lifter assembly mechanically coupled to the base, a lifter mechanism situated on the ramp, the lifter mechanism including a card retainer, the card retainer configured to transfer weight of cards of a stack of cards to the lifter mechanism, and a gate located in a sidewall of the sidewalls, the gate configured to allow a bottom most card of the stack of cards to pass therethrough when pushed by the card lifter assembly.

It is provided a method for configuring a restricted physical space (16, 16a-g). The method is performed by a configuration determiner (1). The method comprises: determining (40) an identity of a user (5a, 5b) associated with a restricted physical space (16, 16a-g); determining (42) a presence space configuration based on the identity of the user (5a, 5b); and sending (46) a first configuration signal to actuate at least part of the presence space configuration in the restricted physical space (16, 16a-g).

Systems, devices, methods, and machine-readable media configured to dispense cards for card printing are provided. A card feeder (200) can include a base (220) including a first major top surface, an angled card picker (232) situated in the base and including a protrusion (226) extending therefrom, the angled card picker including a second major top surface, the second major top surface forming an angle between one and thirty degrees relative to the first major top surface, and a gate (230) configured to allow a bottom most card (118) of a stack of cards to pass therethrough when pushed by the protrusion.

This disclosure describes techniques for operating an inductive coupling reader. The techniques include operations comprising: applying an excitation frequency to a resonance circuit of the inductive coupling reader; detecting a change to a resonance frequency of the resonance circuit of the inductive coupling reader; and in response to detecting the change to the resonance frequency of the inductive coupling reader, adjusting the excitation frequency being applied to the resonance circuit.

It is provided a method for synchronising data between a shore-side access control database (4) and a ship-side access control database (6). The method comprises: determining (140) any modifications to data in the shore-side access control database (4); determining (40) any modifications to data in the ship-side access control database (6); transmitting (142) a shore modifications message (20), indicating the modifications to data in the shore-side access control database (4), to a ship-side server (5), operatively connected to the ship-side access control database (6); updating (46) the ship-side access control database with the shore-side modifications; transmitting (44) a ship modifications message (21), indicating the modifications to data in the ship-side access control database (6), to a shore-side server (3), operatively connected to the shore-side access control database (4); and updating (146) the shore-side access control database with the ship-side modifications.

This disclosure describes techniques for operating an inductive coupling reader. The techniques include operations comprising: detecting a change in a resonance frequency of the inductive coupling reader; comparing the change in the resonance frequency to a threshold; determining that the change in the resonance frequency falls outside the threshold; and activating a compensation circuit to offset the change in the resonance frequency of the inductive coupling reader in response to determining that the change in the resonance frequency falls outside the threshold.

Systems and techniques for a physical access control systems with localization-based intent detection are described herein. In an example, an access control system may regulate access to an asset. The access control system is adapted to establish a first connection with a key-device. The access control system may be further adapted to receive a credential for a user over the first connection. The access control system may be further adapted to establish a second connection with the key-device. The access control system may be further adapted to determine an intent of the user to access the asset. The access control system may use location data derived from the second connection to determine the intent of the user. The access control system may be further adapted to provide the credential to an access controller, based on identifying an intent of the user to access the asset.

It is provided a method for enabling the provision of credentials for electronic locks (12). The method comprises: receiving (40) an access provision request comprising an identifier of a credential carrier (2); obtaining (46) an access list; transmitting (48), by an access control server (3), an access preparation message (24) to an access provision server (4), the access preparation message comprising the access list ;transmitting (50) an access list message (26) comprising the access list and/or an identifier associated with the access list, to the credential carrier (2); receiving (144) a credential request (28), the credential request (28) comprising the access list and/or the identifier associated with the access list; obtaining (145), at least one credential corresponding to the access list; and providing (146) a credential message (30), comprising the at least one credential corresponding to the access list, to the credential carrier (2).

It is provided a method for enabling configuration of access control devices (12a-e). The method comprises: obtaining (40) a sequence of image frames (21, 21a-n); finding (43) possible install locations (13a-e) for access control devices (12a-e); obtaining (45) wireless reception data (25) being indicative of at least one wireless transmission (26a, 26a', 26a", 26m) from an access control device (12a-e) at the installation site (8); and associating (47), for each access control device (12a-e) being a source access control device (12a-e) of at least one wireless transmission (26a, 26a', 26a", 26m) in the wireless reception data (25), the source access control device (12a-e) with a single install location (13a-e) of the possible install locations (13a-e), based on finding a possible install location in the sequence of image frames corresponding to a wireless transmission (26a, 26a', 26a", 26m) of the source access control device (12a-e).
