A personal area network that includes a wearable electronic device, a system and methods of using the personal area network that includes a wearable electronic device. The wearable electronic device can act as an aggregator of the data that is being acquired by the one or more sensors and from other devices that are within wireless signal range of the personal area network in order to send some or all of the data over a wireless low power wide area network to remote locations within a larger network for subsequent processing, user notification, analysis of location-determination, contact tracing or the like. Data may flow in a bidirectional manner between the wearable electronic device and at least some of the other devices within the personal area network. In one form, the aggregated data may be used to control access to a hazard-prone environment in order to reduce the likelihood of exposure of a service technician to unsafe conditions within such environment. In one form, a communication network formed by the wearable electronic device is used with the hazard-prone environment in order to control access, while in another to control a lockout/tagout procedure.

According to an embodiment, a store management system includes a store entry management device and a sales management device. The store entry management device reads identification data, of a shopper, for using the electronic receipt service from an information terminal of a shopper who wants to enter the store. The sales management device causes the store entry management device to permit the shopper to enter the store when the settlement data can be acquired based on the read shopper identification data.

A touchless motion sensor system for performing directional motion detection includes first and second touchless motion sensors. First and second sensing units are coupled to the first and second touchless motion sensors each having a sensing unit disable input, a sensing unit disable output, a sensing unit to sensing unit motion detected output, and motion logic. The first sensing unit disable output is coupled to the second sensing unit disable input, and the second sensing unit disable output is coupled to the first sensing unit disable input.

A mobile multizone refrigerator comprises a plurality of secure refrigerated storage zones each having a lockable door connected to a zone opening controller. The zone opening controller is connected by a network interface to a server capable of receiving and facilitating zone opening requests from the user devices of affiliated users of the storage zones. Upon receipt of an authenticated zone opening request, the server will transmit a zone opening instruction to the controller affiliated with the storage zone in question, resulting in its opening. The refrigerator is mobile allowing it to be moved into and between locations with ease.

A health service system for caring for the health of a patient. In one example, the health service system operates to present media content in association with a telehealth consultation. The health service system generates a virtual waiting room for display on a patient device, which presents a media content presentation. After the media content presentation has concluded, the health service system facilitates the telehealth consultation between a patient and a care provider. In some configurations the health service system further includes at least one hub care facility. The hub care facility includes a locked door with a scanner that unlocks the locked door upon scanning a time sensitive door unlock code; and a locked medication locker with a scanner that unlocks the locked medication locker upon scanning a medication locker unlock code.

Systems and methods are provided for providing access to secure-access facilities based on pairing of the secure-access facilities with a user device such as a wearable device. A pairable secure-access facility may be a public storage facility or device such as a locker that includes communications circuitry for pairing with the user device. Once paired with the user device, the locker may operate a locking mechanism to lock the locker when the user device is away from the locker and to unlock the locker when the user device is in the vicinity of the locker. The locker may include a beacon for detecting and pairing with the user devices. Pairing the user device and the locker may include entering a locker identifier into the user device to ensure that the intended user device is paired with the intended locker.

A secure parcel delivery locker for the receipt of parcels that includes electronic mechanisms that actively assist drone deliveries by providing precise location information for use by drone delivery systems to drop off a parcel, aid in preventing theft thereof, and facilitate the recovery of a stolen parcel if theft does occur.

In one aspect, a server computer is configured to facilitate operation of a movable barrier operator using voice commands. The server computer includes a processor configured to receive a request for a first rolling voice identifier from a communication apparatus in response to receipt of a voice command of a user requesting a state change of a movable barrier. The processor is configured to send the first rolling voice identifier to the communication apparatus causing the communication apparatus to provide a first physical stimulus to the user based at least in part on the first rolling voice identifier and user account information. The processor is configured to receive a communication indicative of a user voice response to the first physical stimulus and determine whether to instruct the movable barrier operator to change a state of the movable barrier based on the user voice response to the first physical stimulus.

Arrangements for dynamic enterprise center access control are provided. In some examples, a user device may be detected and current location and/or user data associated with the detected device may be requested. Upon receiving the location data, a current geographic location of the user device may be determined and an enterprise center at or near the geographic location may be identified. Received user data may be analyzed to identify a user and retrieve access preferences associated with the user. Based on the access preferences, a command to lock or unlock a door (e.g., permit or disable access) to an area within the enterprise center, the enterprise center in general, or the like, may be generated and transmitted to a computing device for execution. Accordingly, the system may activate desired locking configurations based on user preferences. Upon detecting that the user is no longer at the enterprise center, a command to return to default settings may be generated, transmitted and executed.

An affixable device can include a locking mechanism, a force-limiting mechanism, and a sensing mechanism. The locking mechanism can include an engagement component configured to disable the locking mechanism. The force-limiting mechanism can be configured to limit a locking force of the locking mechanism. The sensing mechanism can be coupled to the engagement component, and can be configured to determine that the force-limiting mechanism has limited the locking force of the locking mechanism. In response to determining the force-limiting mechanism limiting the locking force, the sensing mechanism can cause the engagement component to disable the locking mechanism.
