An accessible and usable mobile device application is provided herein that integrates with a technology network designed to increase an ability to orient, locate and travel within indoor and outdoor physical environments independently, safely, and securely for people with sensory disabilities and the aging population who have visual, hearing, mobility, and/or cognitive disabilities.

In a building communication system for a building, a server device is provided which has a processor device and a storage device connected thereto, the storage device storing data sets in which display information that is predetermined for visitors is provided. An optical code is provided on the building, which optical code can be read by a mobile device of a visitor. In order to contact a resident of the building, the visitor scans the optical code with a mobile device. If the visitor is known in the system, the server device sends the display information predetermined for the visitor to their mobile device, which displays the personalized display information on a display of the mobile device.

An assembly having an access control device for a gas cylinder, a centralized management system, a gas cylinder and a mobile terminal the access control device having: an electrically controlled lock which is configured to allow the use of the cylinder when in the open position and to restrict the use of the cylinder when in the closed position, an identifier of the access control device comprising a printout or a radio tag, and a control unit configured to control the lock so as to open or close, a first, short-range, radio communication interface. Wherein the centralized management system has a computer configured to determine, on the basis of the identifier of the access control device, an access parameter for the first communication interface.

The present invention relates generally to mechatronic locks and more specifically, and preferably, wireless mechatronic smart lock systems for locking doors which can be operated by a mechanical tool after positive authentication of the user. In a first aspect, there is provided a mechatronic lock system arranged for actuating a door lock operating member for locking and unlocking a door upon activation of said system comprising: an outside lock interface, comprising means for receiving a mechanical tool, arranged for operating said door lock operating member by a user of said lock system upon receiving said mechanical tool; an inner assembly, comprising: a wireless communication unit, arranged for wireless communication with a wireless communication device for authorizing said user; a control unit, in communicative connection with said wireless communication unit and arranged to activate said system for unlocking said door by activating a mechatronic clutch arranged for coupling said outside lock interface to said door lock operating member; wherein said mechatronic clutch is activated upon positive authorization of said user for opening said door by operating said outside lock interface.

A combined security access system for a building that includes a controllable building component. The system includes a combined security access device connected to the building component. The access device further includes: a processor; a first memory device connected to the processor; a second memory device connected to the processor; and a wireless interface module connected to the processor. The access device may be connected to an external electronic device, and the external electronic device communicates with the processor of the access control system to control the building component.

Systems and methods for providing product samples to users in autonomous vehicles, thereby allowing businesses to advertise their products via the rideshare platform. A physical advertising platform is provided leveraging existing rideshare and delivery infrastructure to allow businesses to advertise their products by providing samples in rideshare vehicles and/or with rideshare vehicle deliveries. Consumers have the opportunity to try new products from local businesses that they may otherwise not be exposed to. In some implementations, a rideshare application interface can allow users to see what new local product samples are available. In some examples, a user can select one or more product samples to try.

A system for controlling access to a secure room containing a plurality of safety deposit boxes, comprises a motion detector, a biometric sensor, and a plurality of contact sensors, wherein each of the safety deposit boxes is associated with at least two contact sensors. The system includes a processor that is configured to unlock the gate when a plurality of access conditions are satisfied, which may include: collecting via the biometric sensor a biometric sensor a biometric credential that matches a reference biometric credential in a user database; and determining the secure room is unoccupied based on at least a predetermined period of no motion detected by the at least one motion sensor. The processor may also be configured to generate a box-accessed event identifying one of the safety deposit boxes when all of the contact sensors associated with that safety deposit box are simultaneously opened.

A commercial vehicle used for parcel delivery is installed with a control module. The control module communicates wirelessly with a transmitter to give control to the vehicle operator. The vehicle operator can access the vehicle's cargo compartment through the bulkhead door and/or the rear door solely by using the transmitter as opposed to manually actuating the door latch. A door actuator is added to the bulkhead door such that when the bulkhead door is wirelessly actuated the door opens without operator assistance, and the process of the door opening does not damage the vehicle. Additionally, the vehicle operator can initiate the control module to allow a push-button start and stop of the vehicle's ignition system. Such elements contribute to time savings and cost savings for parcel delivery operators.

In one aspect, an in-vehicle device is provided that includes a sensor configured to detect a vehicle characteristic indicative of the vehicle being in proximity to a location associated with a movable barrier operator. The in-vehicle device includes communication circuitry to communicate an open command to the movable barrier operator that causes the movable barrier operator to open a movable barrier connected to the movable barrier operator. A memory is configured to store a vehicle arrival condition indicative of whether the vehicle arrived at the location associated with the movable barrier operator. A processor is configured to determine satisfaction of the vehicle arrival condition and, upon the vehicle arrival condition not being satisfied, cause the communication circuitry to communicate a close command to the movable barrier operator that causes the movable barrier operator to close the movable barrier.

A one-touch control system for operating the controls of a towed vehicle using a towing vehicle. The system includes an electronic control unit integrated into the towed vehicle and configured to receive a selection signal from the towing vehicle and simultaneously control a number of different components based on the selection signal. The components including a switch configured to turn on and off the towed vehicle, a sensor configured to detect whether a passenger is present in the towed vehicle, and an odometer configured to be deactivated when the switch indicates that the towed vehicle is off and the sensor indicates that there are no passengers in the towed vehicle.
