    Abstract: It is provided a method for determining whether a portable key device is located inside or outside a metal door. The method is performed by a credential communication device and comprises the steps of: obtaining a first time-of-flight, ToF, measurement between a first antenna and the portable key device, wherein the first antenna is located on the outside of the metal door; obtaining a second ToF measurement between a second antenna and the portable key device, wherein the second antenna is located on the inside of the metal door; and determining the portable key device to be located on the outside of the metal door when the first ToF measurement is less than the second ToF measurement by an amount which is greater than a threshold value.

    Abstract: It is presented a method for conditionally authenticating a user for access to a computer device, the method being performed in an access control device connected to a computer device. The method comprises the steps of: obtaining first sensor data being based on a mobile device sensing a physical movement of a user; obtaining second sensor data being based on a stationary sensor sensing a physical movement of a user; determining whether the first sensor data matches the second sensor data; and sending a match signal to the computer device when the first sensor data matches the second sensor data.

    Abstract: It is provided a receptacle holder (1, 1a-b) for selectively allowing a receptacle (4, 4a-b) to be removed. The receptacle holder (1, 1a-b) comprises: an attachment member (10) being configured to engage with a receptacle (4, 4a-b) to selectively keep the receptacle (4, 4a-b) in a locked engagement with the receptacle holder (1, 1a-b); a processor (60); and a memory (64) storing instructions (67) that, when executed by the processor, cause the receptacle holder (1, 1a-b) to: determine to unlock the attachment member (10); and unlock the receptable (4, 4a-b) from the attachment member (10). A corresponding receptacle holder, computer program and computer program product are also provided.

    Abstract: It is provided a method for selectively granting access to a physical space secured by a barrier. The method is performed in a credential evaluator and comprises the steps of: determining a matching list containing a strict subset of credential identifiers of credentials within range of an antenna provided in a proximity of the barrier, wherein the matching list is based on how long each credential has been within range of the antenna; obtaining a set of biometric templates, consisting of biometric templates respectively associated with the credential identifiers of the matching list; obtaining biometric data of a person being closest to the barrier; and wherein a positive match between biometric data and one of the biometric templates is a necessary condition for granting access to the physical space.

    Abstract: It is provided a method for enabling remote unlock of a lock securing access to a physical space. The method is performed in a server and comprises the steps of: receiving, from a first mobile device, an access request to unlock a lock, wherein the request comprises an identifier of the lock and a user identifier associated with an access requester, being a user of the first mobile device; finding a remote credential device being associated with the lock; and transmitting an access request to the remote credential device, the access request comprising an identifier based on the user identifier.

    Abstract: It is presented a method for transmitting a message for a recipient, the method being performed in a message transmitter of a sender, the sender being a user of the message transmitter. The method comprises the steps of: receiving user input for a new message, the new message comprising an identifier of a recipient physical space and payload data; reading a local identifier forming part of a physical device arranged at a sender physical space, the sender physical space being associated with the sender; and sending a request to a message server to transmit the new message to the recipient physical space, wherein the request comprises the new message.

    Abstract: It is provided a method for determining when to establish a communication channel using an electronic lock (12) controlling access to a restricted physical space (16). The method is performed by a portable key device (2). The method comprises: obtaining (40) a first time-indicator indicating when the portable key device (2) detects a stop in motion of the portable key device (2); receiving (42) a broadcast message from the electronic lock (12); deriving (44) a second time-indicator based on the received broadcast message, the second time-indicator indicating when the electronic lock (12) determines a stop in motion; determining (46) that a difference between the first time-indicator and the second time-indicator is less than a threshold; and establishing (48) a communication channel between the portable key device and the electronic lock when it is determined that the difference between the first time-indicator and the second time-indicator is less than the threshold.
