A vehicle including a locking member configured to lock and unlock a door of the vehicle, a manipulation member provided on a handle of the door, a camera configured to obtain an image, a communicator configured to communicate with an external device, and a controller including a facial recognition processor configured to recognize a face based on image information obtained by the camera, and an authentication processor configured to perform a user authentication based on the face information , the controller being configured to obtain distance information of the external device based on a signal received by the communicator, transmit a booting instruction to the facial recognition processor based on the distance information, transmit a facial recognition instruction to the facial recognition processor based on the distance information after the booting is completed, and control operation of the locking member based on user authentication information and a manipulation signal.

A physical access control system enables acceptable portal entry codes upon receiving each physical access request by operating on the elapsed time from a previous physical access request to generate a temporal credential. The controller receives a plurality of physical access requests from a plurality of mobile application devices. Upon authenticating the first access request, the controller eliminates repetition from the space of acceptable successor requests from each mobile application device. Monotonic nonces advance the range of temporal code matches. Entry code generation is decentralized to distributed application devices and is inherently unknowable until a successor access request is initiated by the same application device.

An access management and reporting system includes a keysafe that is located outside of a building and a communication system that is located within the building. The communication system is configured to perform, over a short-range wireless communication protocol, two-way communication with a communication module of the keysafe. The system also includes a server that is located remote from the building and the keysafe. The server is configured to perform, over a long-range communication protocol, two-way communication with the communication system located within the building, is configured to manage access to the keysafe, and is configured to handle reporting related to access of the keysafe.

A transportation vehicle having a BLUETOOTH® Low Energy (BLE) system to send and receive BLE advertising signals, BLE connection request signals and BLE data signals via at least one antenna, a central locking system to lock or unlock at least one vehicle door of the transportation vehicle, and a control unit to activate the BLE system and to activate the central locking system based on the BLE data signals. Also disclosed is an electronic vehicle radio key and a system for passive access to a transportation vehicle including a transportation vehicle, an electronic vehicle radio key and a smartphone. The system allows a user passive access to the transportation vehicle, both with the aid of the electronic vehicle radio key and with the aid of the smartphone.

Systems and methods for detecting and preventing a relay attack in a channel on which a near field communication (NFC) action between a key holder device and a reader is attempted are disclosed. A time limit is established for polling communications between the key holder device and the reader. Each of the reader and the key holder device generates a reader random value and a device random value respectively. The reader sends to the key holder device the reader random value, which includes the time limit for a response from the key holder device, the response including the device random value and the reader random value. The reader receives the response from the key holder device and can then determine whether the response from the key holder device is received within the time limit, to detect whether a relay attack can be made on the channel for the NFC action.

Systems and methods for activating a digital key based on a vital sign include the digital key configured to lock and unlock a digital lock when activated. The system may include an electronic device including a sensor configured to detect a vital sign of a user in real time. The electronic device may include a memory configured to store a reference vital sign of the user. The electronic device may include a wireless transceiver configured to communicate with the digital key. The electronic device may include a processor coupled to the sensor, the memory, and the wireless transceiver. The processor may be configured to receive and compare the vital sign to the reference vital sign and prompt the wireless transceiver to send a signal to the digital key to activate the digital key when the vital sign is within a threshold of similarity to the reference vital sign.

A system and method for determining real estate showing data includes electronically receiving subject property; determining a set of comparable properties based on the subject property; determining showing data for the subject property; determining showing data for at least one of the set of comparable properties; and electronically communicating the showing data for the subject property and the showing data for at least one of the set of comparable properties.

In one example, a physical storage enclosure can include a storage area to enclose a device, a locking mechanism to prevent removal of the device from the storage area, a logical configuration system coupled to the device within the storage area, wherein the logical configuration system includes instructions to identify the device within the storage area and alter instructions associated with the device within the storage area, a hardware logistic system coupled to the locking mechanism to activate and deactivate the locking mechanism, and a firewall to restrict communication between the logical configuration system and the hardware logistic system.

A vehicle includes a maintenance-necessity detector and an automatic driving controller. The maintenance-necessity detector is configured to determine whether maintenance of the vehicle is necessary. The automatic driving controller is configured to cause the vehicle to move to a maintenance facility at which the maintenance of the vehicle is to be performed, on the basis of automatic driving that is independent of driving to be performed by an occupant of the vehicle, in a case where the maintenance is determined by the maintenance-necessity detector as being necessary.

A smart key storage case includes a storage case main body that can shield a signal, a transmission path through which a call signal from an in-vehicle device is radiated into the storage case main body, a switch that conducts/cuts off the transmission path, a radio communication unit that performs data communication with a radio communication terminal, a controller that controls the switch, and a response signal relay section that radiates a response signal from the smart key inside the storage case main body to the outside. When the radio communication terminal is present outside the vehicle, the controller controls the switch so that the call signal transmitted from the in-vehicle device to the inside of the cabin is cut off and the call signal transmitted to the outside of the vehicle is transmitted.
