    摘要: According to a first aspect of the present invention, a computer-implemented access control method is provided, being performed by an access control system. The access control system may include at least one access decision point being configured to communicate wirelessly with a plurality of low-power access enforcement points. Each low-power access enforcement point may be configured to operate an access point, in particular by unlocking and/or locking the access point. The low-power access enforcement points may have energy harvesting means. The low-power access enforcement points may not be connected to a power grid. The method may comprise instruction-polling, by the plurality of low-power access enforcement points, wherein instruction-polling includes repeatedly sending instruction requests to the at least one access decision point in defined time intervals. The method may comprise generating, by the at least one access decision point, a respective instruction dedicated to a respective low-power access enforcement point upon receiving a respective instruction request from the respective low-power access enforcement point, wherein if the at least one access decision point detected an authentication medium, preferably a mobile device, of a user and determined an intent to unlock the respective access enforcement point, the respective instruction includes an unlock-command causing the respective low-power access enforcement point to unlock, and else, the respective instruction includes a no-action-command. The method may comprise sending, by the at least one access decision point, the respective instruction to the respective low-power access enforcement point.
