An air conditioner is installed in a target space. An operating state is switched based on a command sent from a portable communication terminal. The air conditioner includes a specific information storage component, a specific information notification component that gives notification of the specific information to the communication terminal, a command receiving component that receives the command sent from the communication terminal, and an actuator drive component that executes a switching control that switches action of an actuator based on the command received. The specific information includes identification information and operable period information that designates an operable period during which the operating state is switchable by the communication terminal. The actuator drive component does not execute the switching control in response to the command sent from the communication terminal for which the operable period designated in the operable period information of which notification was given has expired.

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.

An access control system for electric vehicle charging is provided that includes an access device, a secure reservation interface, a reservation server and a smartphone application installed on the smartphone. The access device includes a short-range wireless communication module connected to a processor having control of an electric vehicle charger. The secure reservation interface receives a reservation request for a reservation at a given destination. The reservation server receives the reservation request for the destination, issues a reservation certificate, and transmits the reservation certificate from the reservation server to a smartphone. The smartphone application has access to a short range wireless communication setting corresponding to the access device. The access device receives the reservation certificate from the smartphone application based on use by the smartphone application of the short-range wireless communication setting. The processor activates the electric vehicle charger based on at least the receipt of the reservation certificate.

Provided is a system and method of facilitating check-in of a luggage item of a passenger. the method includes: a) obtaining, by at least one of at least one processor, image data representative of at least one image of printed passenger information associated with an airline travel carrier on an originating hardcopy bag tag or a printed instrument having at least a portion of the printed passenger information on the originating hardcopy bag tag to create a digital passenger information (DPI) data record linked to the airline travel carrier, wherein the originating hardcopy bag tag is issued for the luggage item of the passenger, and wherein the DPI data record includes machine-encoded text of an International Air Transport Association (IATA) license plate number; b) accessing a B-type message including a passenger name record (PNR) number of the passenger, by at least one of the at least one processor, using the machine-encoded text of the IATA license plate number from a computer system associated with the airline travel carrier; c) retrieving check-in information of a return flight of the passenger with a designated return travel carrier, by at least one of the at least one processor, using PNR data associated with the PNR number; and d) checking in during a check-in window, by at least one of the at least one processor, the luggage item, the passenger, or a combination thereof, with the designated return travel carrier based on the retrieved check-in information for the return flight.

Provided is a system and method for creating a luggage manifest using a b-type message, an airline code, and flight data, the method including: a) identifying, by at least one of at least one processor, a baggage source message (BSM) associated with an arrival of a luggage item of a passenger, wherein the BSM comprises an airport code associated with an airport and travel data of a first mode of travel carrier of the luggage item; b) matching, by at least one of the at least one processor, airline information and a flight number of the passenger included in the BSM with airline information and a flight number in a manifest for a second mode of travel different from the first mode of travel, wherein the second mode of travel is local to the airport code; c) based on a match being found in b), extracting, by at least one of the at least one processor, an International Air Transport Association (IATA) license plate number from the BSM; and d) creating, by at least one of the at least one processor, a luggage item manifest record for the luggage item, wherein the luggage item manifest record comprises the IATA license plate number, wherein the luggage item manifest record is accessible by predetermined electronic acquiring devices configured to scan an originating hardcopy bag tag identifier (OH-BTI) associated with or printed on an originating hardcopy bag tag from the first mode of travel carrier that is attached to the luggage item.

A system and method for biobehavioral identification may include a user device, a secure system/client device, and a server. The elements of the system work together to monitor the biologic features (e.g., fingerprints, pupils, or the like) and behavior (e.g., wake time, exercise time, location) to verify the authenticity of a user requesting access to a database and/or secure facility.

An access control system and associated devices are described that conceal and securitize data transmissions between one or more secure databases for various user devices to ensure proper entrance or access into secure locations by approved personnel only. Specific methods and devices for securing (primarily digital and normally two-way) communications using applications that combine securing communications for wireless/cellular phones with personnel access card readers for entry into secure locations are also described. These combined communication and access devices require using specific encryption techniques that cannot be corrupted and are essential to denying fraudulent or otherwise unauthorized personnel the ability to enter or access security protected devices or locations.

Systems and methods for premise management comprising a reservation 5 management module having at least one server, the at least one server arranged in data communication with a user device to receive a request for reservation from the user device to access a premise for a specific duration; and a key generator arranged in data communication with the reservation management module; wherein upon receipt of the request for reservation, the key generator generates a secret key for 10 the user to access the premise for the specific duration, is disclosed. The system may be integrated with other modules including, but not limited to, a lock system and a presence detection system to provide a seamless service to a user.

Systems and methods are provided to allow a smart phone or any terminal to activate a door lock using a web site or server computer system. An access control system is provided that includes a server and an access device. The access device includes a processor and a communication module.
