A technique for controlling access to one or more attractions is achieved using a number of access keys, each being issued to one or more users. An electronic queue management part manages a virtual queue in respect of each attraction and receives electronic requests for attraction access, each request relating to an access key and being for the users associated with it to access a particular attraction. Receipt of each request causes the respective users to be added to a corresponding virtual queue. A time at which each group of users reaches the front of the virtual queue and can access the attraction is determined. The users access the attractions by presenting an access key to an access control part, in communication with the electronic queue management part. Only a user presenting an access key at the correct time for accessing the attraction is allowed access to the attraction.

Systems and methods are provided to generate an access code specific to a user of an online marketplace to use to enter a first accommodation during a first reservation time frame and a second accommodation during a second reservation time frame and to send the access code specific to the user to a computing device at the first accommodation and a computing device at the second accommodation to use to enter the first accommodation during the first reservation time period and the second accommodation during the second reservation time period. The access code is automatically removed from the computing device at the first accommodation and the computing device at the second accommodation at the end of the first reservation time period and at the end of the second reservation time period, respectively.

A ticket exchange server is configured to monitor seat usage in a stadium during an event. The ticket exchange server provides a first ticket for a seat to a first client device in response to a request from a first user of the first client device. The ticket exchange server unlocks the seat in response to detecting a presence of the first user at the seat. The ticket exchange server receives an indication from the first user surrendering the seat prior to completion of the event and locks the seat. The ticket exchange server provides a second ticket for the seat for a remainder of the event to a second client device of a second user in response to a request for the seat from the second client device. The ticket exchange server unlocks the seat in response to detecting a presence of the second user at the seat.

A method according to one embodiment includes transmitting, by a handler device associated with package handler, a message to an access control system requesting access to a secure container secured by an electronic lock mechanism; determining, by the access control system, whether the package handler is authorized to access the secure container based on the received message; transmitting, by the access control system, an unlock command to the secure container in response to a determination that the package handler is authorized to access the secure container; and unlocking the electronic lock mechanism of the secure container in response to successful authentication of the unlock command.

An enhanced node-based connected logistics receptacle system includes a storage receptacle, a bridge node, and wireless accessory sensor node with at least one sensor monitoring for a change in state of the storage receptacle. The system's wireless accessory sensor node detects the storage receptacle's state change based upon sensor data, records timestamped information reflecting the detected change, and broadcasts a signal with a flag set indicating there is event information available for upload. The system's bridge node is operative to detect the flag set, retrieve the event information available for upload from the wireless accessory sensor node, and transmit a message related to the retrieved event information to a backend server to cause the backend server to initiate the dispatched logistics operation related to the storage receptacle.

According to some embodiments, a system is provided. The system comprises a computing system that is configured to receive an alarm signal from a premises monitoring system that is configured to monitor a premises, receive alarm event data associated with an alarm event, store the alarm event data associated with the alarm event in at least one data store of the computing system, enforce an access control policy on the alarm event data stored in the at least one data store, the access control policy restricting access to the alarm event data based on time and a plurality of roles of a plurality of users of the computing system, perform at least one analytics operation on the alarm event data associated with the alarm event, and update a value of a current alarm score based on an output of the at least one analytics operation.

An enhanced connected logistics receptacle system that selectively retrieves and reports event information to a backend server to initiate a dispatched logistics operation related to a delivery item. The system includes a storage receptacle for receiving the delivery item, a bridge node mounted to the storage receptacle, and a wireless accessory sensor node coupled to a plurality of sensors. The wireless accessory sensor node is operative to detect a change in state of the storage receptacle based upon sensor data, record timestamped information reflecting the detected change in state, and broadcast an updated advertising signal having a data available flag set within the updated advertising signal. The bridge node processor is operative to detect the data available flag, selectively retrieve event information from the wireless accessory sensor node, and transmit the retrieved event information to the backend server to cause the backend server to initiate the dispatched logistics operation.

A system for receiving and temporarily maintaining a delivery item and dynamically initiating a dispatched logistics operation for a storage receptacle. The storage receptacle has an entrance opening for receiving the delivery item, a temporary storage area for temporarily maintaining the delivery item once deposited with the storage receptacle, and a retrieval door providing selective access to the temporary storage area. The system includes a backend server that maintains a management profile related to the storage receptacle, a bridge node mounted to the storage receptacle, and a wireless accessory sensor node having at least one sensor that monitors for a change in state of the storage receptacle. The wireless accessory sensor node broadcasts an updated advertising signal. The bridge node transmits retrieved event information to the backend server at a reporting time, and the backend server initiates the dispatched logistics operation from comparing the retrieved event information to location information.

A system for providing a customized guest experience to a specific guest during a group experience being provided to one or more guests including the specific guest. The system comprising an interactive gaming system for engaging the guest across two or more locationally distinct guest experiences, at least one of which being the group experience, a guest tracking system for determining a final seating or otherwise distinct location being occupied by the specific guest during the receiving of the group experience, where the guest wears or carries wireless tracking means sensed by the guest tracking system. The system further comprises one or more apparatus for providing the customized guest experience to the specific guest while the specific guest is substantially occupying the specific distinct location of the group location, where the customized guest experience is based at least in part upon the specific distinct location.
