MUMBAI, India, Oct. 11 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517070271 A) filed by Assa Abloy Ab, Stockholm, on July 23, for 'smart adaptive power saving for multiple technology credential reader.'

Inventor(s) include Smith, Greg; and Wheatstone, Stephen.

The application for the patent was published on Oct. 10, under issue no. 41/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A method and system for adaptive power saving for a multiple technology credential reader may provide improved credential reader power management. The multiple technology credential reader may poll for a first credential type using a first credential radio within the plurality of credential radios. The multiple technology credential reader may discover a first device associated with the first credential type within a radio frequency range of the first credential radio and may cause, responsive to discovering the first device, a second credential radio associated with a second credential type to enter a low power mode. The multiple technology credential reader may determine the first device is positioned within a close proximity threshold range of the multiple technology credential reader, and may authorize a credential access (e.g., physical access, logical access) for the first device responsive to determining the first device is positioned within the close proximity threshold range."

The patent application was internationally filed on Dec. 21, 2023, under International application No.PCT/EP2023/087490.
