Armatura, a leading global provider of advanced biometric and access control solutions, has achieved a significant milestone with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) granting U.S. Patent No. 12,477,335 B2 on November 18, 2025. This seminal patent, titled “Method and System for Performing Task in Access Control Device,” firmly establishes Armatura’s innovative approach to secure mobile access, promising to revolutionize dynamic, user-specific control in even the most high-security environments.
“This patent unequivocally validates our dedication to developing cutting-edge mobile credentials that prioritize security, convenience, and adaptability,” stated Raymond So, General Manager of Armatura. He emphasized the growing need for such innovations, adding, “In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, where threats to both physical and data security are constant, our technology empowers organizations to implement tailored access controls with unprecedented efficiency. It not only streamlines user experiences but also significantly safeguards sensitive assets, perfectly aligning with our vision of seamless, intelligent security solutions.”
Revolutionizing Access: The Technology Behind Armatura’s Mobile Credentials
At the heart of Armatura’s patented innovation lies a versatile mobile credential solution designed to transform smartphones, smartwatches, and tablets into secure digital keys. This system operates across three primary, highly secure modes:
* **BLE-based mobile credentials** for convenient proximity access.
* **Card Mode (NFC)** for familiar tap-style authentication.
* **Dynamic QR codes** facilitating flexible issuance of temporary access.
This robust security architecture is fortified by encrypted communication, advanced rolling key mechanisms, and intelligent time-based QR code regeneration, collectively working to minimize unauthorized access attempts and ensure precise identity verification. Beyond enhanced security, the transition away from physical cards, fobs, and keys offers substantial benefits, including significant reductions in issuance and replacement costs, streamlined credential lifecycle management, and a dramatically improved user experience characterized by fast, reliable, and hassle-free entry into secured spaces.
Centralized Control with Armatura Credential Management System (ACMS)
Further amplifying these advantages is Armatura’s powerful cloud-based Armatura Credential Management System (ACMS). This centralized platform empowers administrators with comprehensive control over the entire mobile credential lifecycle, from instant issuance and updates to swift suspension and revocation.
ACMS offers unparalleled convenience, allowing remote credential management, leveraging secure and highly available cloud storage, and providing real-time visibility into all access events. Crucially, through its robust APIs and reader SDKs, Armatura’s mobile credential solutions integrate effortlessly with existing access control systems, building management platforms, and a myriad of other business applications. This ensures exceptional scalability, unparalleled deployment flexibility, and a solid foundation for future custom developments and innovative new use cases.
Seamless Integration and Sustainable Practices
Engineered with interoperability at its core, Armatura’s mobile credentials seamlessly integrate with its own advanced biometric readers, including cutting-edge touchless palm and face recognition systems. This flexibility extends to a wide array of third-party devices and platforms, ensuring broad compatibility.
Beyond convenience, the adoption of personal smart devices for access control champions sustainability. By significantly minimizing plastic card production and disposal, Armatura’s solution actively reduces environmental impact. This also fosters more hygienic access practices, a particularly valuable benefit in sensitive, high-traffic environments such as healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and corporate campuses.
Pioneering the Future of Secure Access
This significant patent further solidifies Armatura’s position as a trailblazer in mobile-based access control. Their innovative mobile credentials offer a reliable, highly secure, and exceptionally user-friendly alternative to outdated traditional methods. The system guarantees faster, more precisely controlled entry within predetermined ranges and supports flexible, future-ready integrations, effectively overcoming the limitations inherent in conventional fixed-range and card-based security solutions.
