Disclosed is a control method of a control device, the control method including determining whether a movable object is located in a first area using a detection sensor, activating a first mode among operation modes of the control device when it is determined that the movable object is located in the first area, acquiring user confirmation information from a terminal when the first mode is activated wherein the user confirmation information corresponds to user-specific information stored in the terminal and is provided to the terminal by a server before the terminal provides the user confirmation information to the control device, transmitting processing request information based on the user confirmation information to the server so that the server performs processing on the user confirmation information, acquiring a processing result for the user confirmation information from the server, and providing the processing result for the user confirmation information to the terminal.

Provided in a vehicle are: an external communications unit provided outside the compartment of the vehicle; and an internal communications unit provided inside the vehicle compartment. A position determination system includes a data acquisition unit that obtains reception signal strength data for radio waves that have been communicated and measured, between the external communications unit and a terminal and between the internal communications unit and the terminal. The position determination system also includes a position determination unit that determines whether the terminal is positioned outside or inside the vehicle, from the results of comparison between the size of data obtained from communication between the external communications unit and the terminal and between the internal communications unit and the terminal. In addition, the external communications unit is disposed inside a body component located around a rear wheel of the vehicle.

Provided is a process including: receiving a tank-nearly-full message indicating that a tank at an oil or gas related facility is or will be ready for a truck to unload and transport fluid accumulating in the tank; in response to the tank-nearly-full message, creating a tank-run record; sending a description of the tank-run to a mobile device of a driver of an oilfield truck; receiving, from the mobile device of the driver of the oilfield truck, a tank-run claimed message indicating that the driver will drive to the oil or gas related facility and transport at least some of the fluid accumulating in the tank; and after the tank-run claimed message, performing steps including: confirming that the tank-run has not yet been claimed; after the confirmation, designating the tank-run as claimed by the driver; and sending confirmation to the mobile device of the driver.

The application discloses an electronic door lock with an unlocking monitoring function and a working method thereof, belonging to the technical field of intelligent locks, which comprises a lock body, a mechanical unlocking member connected to a deadbolt assembly, a main control board arranged in the lock body, and a micro switch electrically connected to the main control board. The mechanical unlocking member comprises a knob that is rotatably arranged on the lock body, and a paddle that is synchronously and coaxially driven by the knob. When the knob drives the deadbolt assembly to switch between the locked state and the unlocked state, the paddle can be rotated to trigger the micro switch. A wireless transmitting module for transmitting the trigger signal of the micro switch is integrated on the control board. The mechanical unlocking monitoring function is added.

A method for operating functional unit of a motor vehicle using an identification system, in which at least a first authorization is requested for operating the functional unit and an identification signal is transmitted to an identification device by an identification element of the identification system. The functional unit is operated after receiving and the functional unit is only operated in a second authorization. The second authorization is generated by the identification device. Using the identification device, a first signal duration of the identification signal is determined for determining a first spacing of the identification element at a first point in time, and a second signal duration of the identification signal is determined for determining a second spacing of the identification element at a second point in time, and the second authorization is generated depending on a comparison.

A method for seamless access control according to one embodiment includes determining whether a user is authorized to access a passageway controlled by an access control device based on credential data received from a mobile device of the user, determining, by a RADAR system, a location of the user relative to the passageway, determining whether the user intends to access the passageway based on the determined location of the user relative to the passageway, and controlling, by the access control device, a lock mechanism to allow the user access to the passageway in response to determining that the user is authorized to access the passageway and the user intends to access the passageway.

A first device includes: a first reference signal source; a first transmitting/receiving unit which transmits two or more first carrier signals and receives two or more second carrier signals using an output of the first reference signal source; and a calculating unit. A second device includes: a second reference signal source configured to be operated independently from the first reference signal source; and a second transmitting/receiving unit configured to transmit two or more second carrier signals and receive two or more first carrier signals using an output of the second reference signal source. A frequency group of two or more first carrier signals and a frequency group of two or more second carrier signals differ from each other. The calculating unit calculates a distance between the first device and the second device based on a phase detection result obtained by receiving the first and second carrier signals.

An intelligent lock mechanism includes a retrofittable apparatus comprising a constant temperature monitor, wherein the lock apparatus can be maintained at an operating temperature by engaging the motor to keep sufficient temperature for consistent operability.

A merchandise security system for protecting an item of merchandise from theft. The merchandise security system comprises a smart device and an electronic key coupled to the smart device. The electronic key is configured to communicate with a merchandise security device for operating a merchandise security device.

A method of operating a door system includes receiving a signal from a pressure sensor disposed in a sill or a frame of the door system, authenticating the user after receiving the signal, shifting the lock from a locked configured to an unlocked configuration in response to receiving the signal after authenticating the user, and moving the door panel from a closed position to an ajar position in response to receiving the signal.
