The reader and the keypad are operationally coupled to the microprocessor. The first antenna is operationally coupled to the reader. A fastener, coupled to the box, is configured to attach the box to a substrate. Each of a plurality of tags, readable by the reader, is configured to couple to an article to be positioned in the internal space.

A lock module for use with an electronic lock configured to selectively lock a lockable structure includes a communication subsystem configured to be communicatively coupled to a gateway and configured to be communicatively coupled to an electronic lock, wherein the communication subsystem is further configured to send an unlock signal to the electronic lock.

Embodiments of the present application generally relate to controlling ingress/egress through entryway devices. More particularly, but not exclusively, embodiments of the present invention relate to attaining confirmation of intent relating to access to a controlled opening. According to certain embodiments, the credential device and/or the user of the credential device is prompted to provide a response, or otherwise is to perform certain actions, that can demonstrate a confirmation of intent to gain access to the controlled opening. Such responses and/or actions can be evaluated to determine authority to gain access to the controlled opening. Further, such intent confirmation events may, depending on the embodiment, be performed before or after credential information is communicated from the credential device and/or before or after pairing of the access control device and the credential device. According to other embodiments, intent may be confirmed, at least in part, based on changes in the characteristics of signals communicated from the credential device.

The invention relates to an electronic key (32) having at least two contacts (324, 325, 326) for the transmission of data and/or energy to an electronic lock (16). In accordance with the invention, the housing (321) of the electronic key (32) comprises an input device (33) for the entry of an authorization code (36). The invention also relates to an electronic closure system with an electronic key (32) and an electronic lock (16) as well as to a method for secure acquisition of an access authorization or for secure delivery of a key to at least one user (22) by means of an electronic lock (16) and at least one electronic key (32) carried by the user (22).

Provided is a digital doorlock system including a doorlock configured to transmit an iBeacon signal and reduce a period of Bluetooth connection when recognizing proximity of a user terminal and a touch or a press on a keypad, wherein the doorlock is wirelessly connected to the user terminal so that an opening/closing operation of the doorlock is controlled, a user application installed in the user terminal and configured to enter a state of being capable of controlling the doorlock upon receiving the iBeacon signal and control the opening/closing operation of the doorlock when wirelessly connected to the doorlock via the user terminal, and a management server configured to provide a password for controlling the opening/closing operation of the doorlock to the user application through user authentication.

A locking cooler assembly includes a cooler that can store perishable items. The cooler is comprised of a thermally insulating material to retain the perishable items at a preferred temperature. A divider is hingedly coupled to the cooler and the divider opens and closes the cooler. A lid is hingedly coupled to the divider and the lid and the divider define a storage space when the lid is closed for storing non-perishable items. A locking unit is coupled to the divider and the locking unit engages the lid when the locking unit is engaged to secure the objects stored in the storage space defined by the divider and the lid. A remote control is in remote communication with the locking unit to facilitate the user to remotely disengage the locking unit.

Methods and systems for authenticating an Internet of Things device, such as an electronic lock, are disclosed. One method includes generating a first challenge at a server; transmitting the first challenge to the Internet of Things device; receiving a first signed certificate from the Internet of Things device, the first signed certificate being the first random number challenge signed with a private key associated with the internet of things device; and verifying the first signed certificate with the first challenge and a public key associated with the Internet of Things device. Mutual authentication of the server from the Internet of Things device is also provided.

A touch screen electronic deadbolt includes a planar, exterior touch panel with a touch overlay for receiving tactile input for entry of an access code to engage and disengage a deadbolt. The touch panel is contained within a housing cavity of a rectilinear housing. A touch overlay rests above the housing cavity extending to the edge of the housing without the use of a bezel or frame, thus providing a sleek and low profile appearance. An interior escutcheon may be in communication with the exterior touch panel allowing a user to manually engage and disengage the deadbolt from within a dwelling.
