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.

A remote control system for a marine vessel includes at least one fob and a configuration control system configured to detect available devices on the marine vessel to be controlled remotely for the marine vessel, generate a list of available functions for at least one user-selectable fob command based on the detected available devices, present the list of available functions to the user via a fob configuration user interface such that the user can select one or more functions in the list of available functions, identify a system command associated with each selected function so as to configure a set of system commands based on the user-selected functions, and store the user-configured set of system commands in association with the fob identification and the selected fob command. The system further includes a helm transceiver module to effectuate activation/deactivation of the available devices based on the user-configured set of system commands.

A retail security system that includes a locking system having locking assemblies that can be locked and unlocked directly by a consumer or clerk/employee using his or her mobile phone or other portable electronic device. Each of the locking assemblies may be configured to lock an article so that it cannot be freely accessed. The security system may include a sanitizing system that sanitizes the article after a consumer returns the article to the locking system without making a purchase. The security system may include a computer apparatus that allows an owner of the security system to access a software application that provides the owner with information/data about access to the locked articles.

A system for controlling the locking of accessories by a vehicle includes a vehicle door, a door lock, and an input device configured to receive user input including an unlock request. The system further includes an accessory lock configured to alternate between a locked accessory state and an unlocked accessory state. The system further includes a network access device. The system further includes an ECU designed to determine a door unlock event in response to the input device receiving the unlock request and to control the door lock to alternate from the locked door state to the unlocked door state in response to determining the door unlock event. The ECU is further designed to control the network access device to instruct the accessory lock to alternate from the locked accessory state to the unlocked accessory state in response to determining the door unlock event.

A method for forming bonded mobile device connection with a vehicle includes determining a request count comprising a plurality of Bluetooth advertisement requests received from a mobile device with respect to time, determining an invalid Consumer Access Key (CAK) transmission count associated with the plurality of Bluetooth advertisement requests, generating an active bond record with the request count and the invalid CAK transmission count, determining, based on the active bond record, that a Global Attribute Profile (GATT) service associated with the mobile device is inactive, and disabling a Bluetooth advertisement response setting associated with the GATT service.

A physical access control system enables acceptable portal entry codes upon receiving each physical access request by operating on the elapsed time from a previous physical access request to generate a temporal credential. The controller receives a plurality of physical access requests from a plurality of mobile application devices. Upon authenticating the first access request, the controller eliminates repetition from the space of acceptable successor requests from each mobile application device. Monotonic nonces advance the range of temporal code matches. Entry code generation is decentralized to distributed application devices and is inherently unknowable until a successor access request is initiated by the same application device.

A vehicle including a locking member configured to lock and unlock a door of the vehicle, a manipulation member provided on a handle of the door, a camera configured to obtain an image, a communicator configured to communicate with an external device, and a controller including a facial recognition processor configured to recognize a face based on image information obtained by the camera, and an authentication processor configured to perform a user authentication based on the face information , the controller being configured to obtain distance information of the external device based on a signal received by the communicator, transmit a booting instruction to the facial recognition processor based on the distance information, transmit a facial recognition instruction to the facial recognition processor based on the distance information after the booting is completed, and control operation of the locking member based on user authentication information and a manipulation signal.

A transportation vehicle having a BLUETOOTH® Low Energy (BLE) system to send and receive BLE advertising signals, BLE connection request signals and BLE data signals via at least one antenna, a central locking system to lock or unlock at least one vehicle door of the transportation vehicle, and a control unit to activate the BLE system and to activate the central locking system based on the BLE data signals. Also disclosed is an electronic vehicle radio key and a system for passive access to a transportation vehicle including a transportation vehicle, an electronic vehicle radio key and a smartphone. The system allows a user passive access to the transportation vehicle, both with the aid of the electronic vehicle radio key and with the aid of the smartphone.

Systems and methods for activating a digital key based on a vital sign include the digital key configured to lock and unlock a digital lock when activated. The system may include an electronic device including a sensor configured to detect a vital sign of a user in real time. The electronic device may include a memory configured to store a reference vital sign of the user. The electronic device may include a wireless transceiver configured to communicate with the digital key. The electronic device may include a processor coupled to the sensor, the memory, and the wireless transceiver. The processor may be configured to receive and compare the vital sign to the reference vital sign and prompt the wireless transceiver to send a signal to the digital key to activate the digital key when the vital sign is within a threshold of similarity to the reference vital sign.

A smart key storage case includes a storage case main body that can shield a signal, a transmission path through which a call signal from an in-vehicle device is radiated into the storage case main body, a switch that conducts/cuts off the transmission path, a radio communication unit that performs data communication with a radio communication terminal, a controller that controls the switch, and a response signal relay section that radiates a response signal from the smart key inside the storage case main body to the outside. When the radio communication terminal is present outside the vehicle, the controller controls the switch so that the call signal transmitted from the in-vehicle device to the inside of the cabin is cut off and the call signal transmitted to the outside of the vehicle is transmitted.
