A package delivery system for secured delivery of packages without the need for a person to be present to accept them in person is disclosed. The package delivery system includes a vertical structure such as a wall, a door, and a garage door; a package delivery door dispositioned within the vertical structure; and one or more user devices in communication with the package delivery door via a network.

A modular system of locker banks for receipt and delivery of packages is described. The system may include associate modules each having one or more lockers and a control board in communication with each of the lockers in the module. Each locker may include a locker board having a processor and memory configured to control operation of the locker. Each locker may include a lock and a light. The system may further include one or more control modules, each having the above components and further including a kiosk having one or more input and output devices for entering information to the module for controlling operation of the system. The modular system may be connected to a server and/or an administrator terminal.

The present invention relates generally to the field of vehicle key fobs. More specifically, the present invention relates to a vehicle key fob device comprised of a vehicle key fob that has a housing, a flashlight, a biometric scanner, a plurality of LED-illuminated buttons/emblems and a button that allows the color of the LED-illuminated buttons to change. The fob may have a plurality of buttons in differing embodiments, which are preferably illuminated via at least one LED that is positioned below each button. However, in one embodiment a singular large LED may sit below all buttons to illuminate the buttons simultaneously. The at least one LED can also produce any color known in the art, which can be changed by a user by pressing a color change button located on the side surface of the fob.

A data capture device for a building system has a housing in which a display device, an optical reading device, and a first reading device are arranged and which are communicatively connected to a control device arranged in the housing. The optical reading device is embodied to optically detect information from a first information carrier, wherein the optical reading device is arranged in such a way that light from the direction of the front side of the housing, which is accessible to a user, can be captured by an image sensor of the optical reading device. The first reading device has a first antenna in order to detect information from a second information carrier by means of radio communication, the first antenna comprising an air coil which has an inner space. The image sensor of the optical reading device is arranged entirely or partially in the inner space of the air coil.

A safe for the storage of a valuable, such as a firearm. The safe has an imaging system that is used to scan a portion of a human in the near infrared spectrum to image blood vessels and determine if the image matches a stored image and thereafter effect unlocking of the safe. A manual override lock system is provided to manually effect unlocking of the safe.

A access control system includes a catch configured to be affixed to an inner portion of an enclosure, a latch configured to engage the catch when the catch is attached to the enclosure and an access door of the enclosure is in a closed position. The access control system is configured to detect, using one or more sensors, when the latch is within a predetermined proximity of the catch, and responsive to detecting that the latch is not within the predetermined proximity of the catch, determine whether an authorized credential was received via a communication interface to open the latch, and when the authorized credential was received, register an authorized opening of the latch in a memory device, and when the authorized credential was not received, register an the unauthorized opening of the latch in the memory device and enter an alert state.

A wireless electromechanical lock with one or more of an internal antenna, touch activation, and/or a light communication device that acts as a user interface. In some embodiments, the lock utilizes an antenna near the exterior face of the lockset, designed inside the metal body of the lockset itself. A light communication device is provided in some embodiments to communicate information, visually, to the user via animations and dynamic displays of light. In some embodiments, the lockset includes a touch activation capability, which can be used to lock/unlock the lock and/or otherwise provide input.

A robotic door lock includes a lockable spinner having a spinner shell coupled to a bolt rail and an axial profile coupled to a door handle or knob. A processor selectively engages the spinner shell with the axial profile via an actuator to enable the manipulation of the bolt. The robotic lock has a wireless module, an actuator, and a processor in communication with the actuator and a wireless module. The wireless module uses a wireless energy harvester configured to receive energy from a user device or a post infrastructure to power the processor, the actuator and the memory. The wireless energy harvester may be connected to an internal energy storage.

A flux system includes a memory and a processor in communication with the memory and a sensing device, the memory storing a plurality of capabilities and a plurality of semantic fluxes associated with the plurality of capabilities. The computing system is configured to infer a semantic based on received inputs and to infer an activity interest semantic based on an input, and to assign at least one augmentation servicing agent to service an activity interest based on semantic matching.

An apparatus, a method and a computer program are provided. The apparatus comprises a retainer, for receiving and retaining a hand portable electronic device, that comprises a lock and at least one sensor. The lock is configured to transition the retainer between an unlocked configuration and a locked configuration. In the locked configuration the retainer is arranged to prevent release of a hand portable electronic device retained by the retainer. The sensor is arranged to receive at least one wireless signal emitted by the hand portable electronic device retained by the retainer. The apparatus further comprises processing circuitry configured to control the lock to transition the retainer from the locked configuration to the unlocked configuration, based on the at least one wireless signal received by the sensor, in order to enable the hand portable electronic device to be released from the retainer.
