A transport container for secure transport of packages. In one embodiment, the transport container includes a body, a cover, a cover lock, a locking bar, and an electronic controller. The cover is coupled to the body. The cover is movable from a closed state covering the opening to an open state. The cover lock is configured to engage the cover and keep the cover in the closed state. The locking bar is coupled to the base. The locking bar is configured for attachment to anchor points. The electronic controller is electrically coupled to the cover lock and to the locking bar. The electronic controller is configured to adjust the cover lock between a locked state and an unlocked state. The electronic controller is also configured to adjust the locking bar between the locked state and the unlocked state.

In one embodiment, a system includes a signal generator operatively coupleable to one or more detectors; and a controller, the controller being both operably coupled to the signal generator and configured to cause the signal generator to: generate one or more signals each signal being representative of at least one emergency event; and communicate one or more of the generated signal(s) to a detector to which the signal generator is operably coupled. In another embodiment, a method includes: receiving data corresponding to one or more emergency events; generating at least one signal based on the data; and communicating the generated signal(s) to a detector.

A controller doorbell circuit includes a first terminal of a button wired to a first terminal of a transformer, a second terminal of the transformer wired to an input transformer terminal of a controller wired to a battery power source and coupled in signal communication to a mobile device, a transformer terminal of a signaling device wired to an output transformer terminal of the controller, and a second terminal of the button and an alarm terminal of the signaling device wired to an alarm terminal of the controller. The controller opens disabling the controller doorbell circuit disabling the signaling device from sounding an alarm when the button is pressed, in response to a first signal from the mobile device. The controller closes enabling the controller doorbell circuit enabling the signaling device to sound the alarm when the button is pressed, in response to a second signal from the mobile device.

Various embodiments of the present inventions are related to monitoring physical location of a monitored target, but not limited to, use of beacon location information.

The present invention relates to a method for preventing security breaches of a passive remote keyless entry system for authorizing access to a vehicle. The passive remote keyless entry system comprises a base station located at the vehicle and a mobile device, in particular a remote key, wherein the base station comprises a first processor unit and a first transceiver unit, the first transceiver unit comprises a timing device, the mobile device comprises a second processor unit and a second transceiver unit, an air travel time T of a single message sent back and forth from the base station to the mobile device is measured, and access to the vehicle is granted depending on the measured air travel time T.

A method for verifying positions of a plurality of monitoring devices includes selecting a second monitoring device by a first monitoring device. A first number of monitoring devices out of the plurality of monitoring devices is supervised, the plurality of monitoring devices being positioned such that each monitoring device of the plurality of monitoring devices can be monitored by at least one other monitoring device of the plurality of monitoring devices. Correct positions of the plurality of monitoring devices have been determined and stored prior to verification, and security information for secure communication has been exchanged between two of the plurality of monitoring devices for all of the plurality of monitoring devices.

An aberration engine that collects data sensed by a monitoring system that monitors a property of a user and aggregates the collected data over a period of a time. The aberration engine detects, within the aggregated data, patterns of recurring events and, based on detecting the patterns of recurring events within the aggregated data, takes action related to the monitoring system based on the detected patterns of recurring events within the aggregated data.
