Proximity-based access

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for proximity-based access. In some implementations, an electronic device receives a first message over a network over a first communication channel. In response to receiving the first message, the electronic device increases a frequency that the electronic device scans for messages over the second communication channel. After increasing the frequency that the electronic device scans for messages over the second communication channel, the electronic device receives a second message from a secured resource over the second communication channel. The electronic device determines that the electronic device is located within a predetermined level of proximity to the secured resource, and in response, sends authentication data to the secured resource over the second communication channel.
