Patent attributes
Controller devices may be communicatively coupled to distributed devices in a workspace. The controller devices may be positioned in various geographic locations relative to locations of the distributed devices within the workspace. Each of the controller devices may be utilized to maintain an account of, and locally control, one or more of the distributed devices. Portal devices may utilize the controller devices to manage the distributed devices by configuring, controlling, and updating the controller devices. The control devices may be utilized to establish communication channels between the portal devices and the distributed devices to provide access for a user to the distributed devices. The communication channels may be accessible to user devices based on security credentials that are modified in real-time or near real-time.
