A centrally managed system for tuning a plurality of enhanced node-based logistics receptacles includes a backend server, a first enhanced node-based logistics receptacles, and a second node-based logistics receptacles. The backend server transmits a first setup message to a first bridge node, transmits a second setup message to a second bridge node, receives retrieved first event information from the first bridge node and retrieved second event information from the second bridge node, compares the retrieved first event information with a management profile and compares the retrieved second event information with the management profile, revises the management profile based upon the comparison of the retrieved first event information with the management profile and the comparison of the retrieved second event information with the management profile, and transmits an adjustment message that is based upon the revised management profile to the first bridge node.

Secure passcode-triggered wireless communication pairing of a mobile device with an electronic lock is provided. The passcode is a limited-use (e.g., one time use, useful for a limited time span) pairing passcode that may be generated at the electronic lock or by an application executing on an administrative user's mobile device that can be communicated to a guest user as part of an invitation to connect to the electronic lock. The pairing passcode is not a lock actuation passcode and cannot be used to actuate the electronic lock from a locked to an unlocked position. Rather, the pairing passcode enables the guest user to pair a mobile device with the electronic lock and, once paired, to use an application executing on the guest user's mobile device to actuate the electronic lock.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for a virtual intercom. In some implementations, a request from a visitor device to communicate with an occupant of a particular unit of the facility is received. A location of the visitor device is received. Based on the received location, it is determined that the visitor device is within a predetermined bounded area. An occupant profile is identified based on the received request. Information associated with the occupant profile is obtained. Based on the obtained information, it is determined the occupant has registered a profile. Based on the obtained information, a communication path to an occupant device is identified. The request from the visitor device is sent, using the communication path, to an occupant device belonging to the occupant. A response from the occupant device is received. Based on the response, an action is performed.

A system and method for a single use device for customer vehicle key programming. The device takes the form of a so-called dongle that plugs into the vehicle OBD. The customer uses an application on a smartphone to communicate with the vehicle through the dongle on one end and with the system servers on the other.

Rental property management technology, in which reservation data is accessed on a rental property management server, and a request from a mobile device for an upcoming reservation at a property is detected. In response to detecting the request, the rental property management server confirms the upcoming reservation based on the accessed reservation data. In response to confirming the upcoming reservation, the reservation management server generates a unique access code. The rental property management server transmits the unique access code to the mobile device and to a monitoring system on the property. The rental property management server also transmits data to the monitoring system indicating that the unique access code grants access to the property.

A system for self-executing enhanced interaction with a node-based logistics receptacle. The system includes a wireless accessory sensor node disposed on the node-based logistics receptacle to monitor storage receptacle components of the node-based logistics receptacle to generate sensor data. The system includes a bridge node disposed on the node-based logistics receptacle that uploads information related the sensor data, detects an external device separate from the node-based logistics receptacle, communicates with the external device to establish a smart contract based connection that provides an interaction privilege, interfaces with the external device according to the interaction privilege, and transmits an update message to the backend server that corresponds to at least a portion of the uploaded information related to the sensor data and information related to interfacing with the external device.

A dynamic learning server-based logistics system includes a node-based logistics receptacle operative to receive a delivery item as part of a logistics transaction and also includes a backend server maintaining a management profile related to operation of the node-based logistics receptacle. The node-based logistics receptacle includes a plurality of monitored receptacle components, a wireless accessory sensor node having a plurality of sensors, and a bridge node operative to retrieve event information from the wireless accessory sensor node. The backend server receives the retrieved event information, compares the retrieved event information with the management profile, identifies a threshold change condition from the comparison, dynamically revises the management profile when the threshold change condition is identified, and transmits an adjustment message to the bridge node. The adjustment message is based upon the revised management profile, and the adjustment message initiates a timing change to operation of the bridge node.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to electronic access control. An access control server maintains data associated with a plurality of electronic locks. A user is issued an electronic key for unlocking one or more electronic locks. The user can be assigned to a group. Members of the group are permitted to access a subset of the plurality of electronic locks. A first key configuration is transmitted to the electronic key, the first key configuration permitting the user to access the subset of electronic locks. The access control server accesses personnel data related to the user and determines whether the personnel data satisfies a condition associated with the group. Responsive to determining that the condition is not satisfied, the user is removed from the group and a second key configuration is transmitted to the electronic key, the second key configuration preventing the user from accessing the subset of electronic locks.

This application relates to the field of terminal technology, and provides an itinerary information prompting method and an electronic device to reduce the difficulty for a user to obtain itinerary information during railway travel and provide travel convenience. The electronic device may detect a current stage of an itinerary. Subsequently, the electronic device may prompt the user with itinerary information that matches the stage of the itinerary. The information that matches the stage of the itinerary is the information to be urgently needed by the user at this stage of the itinerary.

A node-enabled logistics receptacle system with a deployable storage element for receiving and temporarily maintaining a delivery item. The system includes a storage receptacle with an entrance opening for receiving the delivery item and a deployable autonomous mobile container as the deployable storage element. A first node is mounted to the storage receptacle and includes a first node processor, a first node memory, a communication interface, and a plurality of sensors including an interaction sensor and a storage sensor. The first node detects a change in the state of the entrance opening, determines a current condition of what is presently maintained within the deployable autonomous mobile container, generates a deploy activation signal, and transmits the deploy activation signal to the deployable autonomous mobile container to initiate movement by the deployable autonomous mobile container from the host position within the storage receptacle to a position external to the storage receptacle.
