Robotic sherpa
Embodiments disclosed herein include a mobile locker. The mobile locker can include a mobility unit to enable the locker to relocate from one location to another. The mobile locker is modular which allows the storage compartment to be detached from the mobility unit for storage, transfer via other means. The storage compartment can be coupled either the same or a different mobility unit. The mobile lockers can be recalled by a customer to either the customer's location or to designated locations at the venue. The lockers can include any one of multiple locking mechanisms. The mobile locker can communicate with a monitoring center that oversees the deployment of multiple mobile lockers. Embodiments of the mobile locker can interact with customers through a display, microphone, and speaker.
Method for unlocking a lock using real-time wireless power supply
A method for unlocking the lock using real-time wireless power supply includes proceeding with authentication identification of a powerless lock by an electronic key after pairing. Power is wirelessly supplied from the electronic key to the lock when the authentication identification starts or the authentication identification passes. The lock obtains the power wirelessly supplied from the lock to operate. When the authentication identification is identified as being successful, the electronic key outputs an unlocking command to the lock. The lock receiving the unlocking command proceeds with an unlocking operation using the power supplied wirelessly.
Modifying access control permissions
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.

Intelligent datacenter floor access
A method includes: reading, by a tile lifter, a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag within a floor tile that is locked to a support structure; comparing, by the tile lifter, a personal identification number (PIN) of the RFID tag to an access code within the tile lifter; determining, by the tile lifter, a match between the PIN of the RFID tag and the access code; and actuating, by the tile lifter and in response to the determining the match, an actuator in the floor tile.

ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM WITH DYNAMIC ACCESS PERMISSION PROCESSING
Aspects of the disclosure relate to electronic access control. An electronic key can access a set of one or more electronic locks according to scheduled access permissions. Access schedules may define one or more authorized time periods during which access to an electronic lock is permitted. Access schedules can be generated based on user input received via a user interface. A key configuration corresponding to an access schedule is transmitted from a server to the electronic key. The set of electronic locks includes at least one lock designated as a conditional access lock. The conditional access lock is associated with access control information including at least one of environment data or personnel data. Responsive to determining that the access control information does not meet one or more criteria, the server automatically adjusts access schedules and generates a corresponding key configuration for the electronic key.
Access control system with dynamic access permission processing
Aspects of the disclosure relate to systems and methods for administering access to resources in an access control system. In one implementation, the access control system comprises an electronic lock for restricting access to a resource. An electronic key can deliver a signal based on an access credential to the electronic lock to initiate an unlocking event for facilitating access to the resource. An access validation engine can process access control information related to access conditions. Access to resources may be granted according to scheduled access permissions. In other aspects, access to resources can be granted based on access conditions. The access validation engine can evaluate whether access to a resource is authorized based on a determination that one or more access conditions are satisfied. An unlocking signal can be delivered to the electronic lock in response to a determination that the one or more access conditions are satisfied.
Electronic lock core device
An electronic lock core device includes: a housing, a front end thereof configured with an opening; a transmission mechanism, configured inside the housing and with a motor in connection with a gear train, the gear train in engagement with a transmission shaft, and a front end of the transmission shaft configured with a rod; a locking piece, configured with a pendulum and fixing hole, a fixing member passed through the fixing hole and the opening on the front end of the housing and fixed to the rod; and a control circuit, configured inside the housing and in connection with the motor of the transmission mechanism and an induction device adapted to sensing a signal of a chip card or RFID to drive the transmission mechanism to drive the motor to rotate positively or negatively and further to make the locking piece form a lock or unlock action.
