System and method for managing showings of real estate listings based on multiple factors
A specialized server within a real estate showing management system creates a showing appointment for a showing agent to show a listing and a set of geo-fences around the listing when the appointment is created. At a particular time before the showing, the specialized server notifies a showing agent mobile device to download the set of geo-fences and, when requested, provides the set to the mobile device. The mobile device notifies the specialized server when it breaches a geo-fence within the set. A key controller also notifies the specialized server when the showing agent opens the key controller to retrieve a key to the listing from the key controller. The specialized server determines that the showing has started when the two notifications and the beginning time of the showing appointment are within a predetermined time range. The specialized server then notifies property electronic devices to turn on.
DEVICE AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING A LOCK FOR PREVENTING UNWANTED ACCESS TO A LOCKED ENCLOSURE
A device for preventing unwanted opening of a locked enclosure includes a lock bolt moveable between a locked position and an unlocked position. A lever arm is movable between disengaged and engaged positions and moves the lock bolt between the locked and unlocked positions. A rotary element is engageable with the lever arm in the engageable position. The rotation of the rotary element when the rotary element is engaged with the lever arm moves the lock bolt between the locked and unlocked positions. A pin normally blocks the lever arm from moving from the disengaged position to the engageable position. A rotatable output gear moves a rack gear and the pin to unblock the lever arm and thereby allowing the lever arm to engage with the rotary element to allow a user to rotate the rotary element to move the lock bolt between the locked and unlocked positions.
Electric lock and method for adding a user of the same
A method for adding a user of an electric lock includes receiving a temporary code; establishing a connection between a portable device of the user and the electric lock; inputting and transmitting the temporary code to the electric lock via the portable device; the electric lock determining if the temporary code matches a default password; inputting a user information of the portable device via the portable device when the temporary code matches the default password; and storing the user information in the electric lock, so that the portable device is allowed to drive the electric lock to perform an action.
System for secure access and initiation using a remote terminal
Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for secure access and initiation using a remote terminal. The present invention is configured to determine that a secondary user has entered a secure environment, wherein the secure environment comprises a safe-deposit box associated with a primary user; determine that the secondary user has initiated an augmented reality session using a computing device associated with the secondary user; automatically generate a digital authentication key in response determining that the secondary user has entered the secure environment and has initiated the augmented reality session; electronically receive, from the computing device associated with the primary user, an authorization to transmit the digital authentication key to the computing device associated with the secondary user; transmit the digital authentication key to the computing device associated with the secondary user; and emulate the augmented reality session on the computing device associated with the primary user.
ELECTRIC LOCK AND METHOD FOR ADDING A USER OF THE SAME
A method for adding a user of an electric lock includes receiving a temporary code; establishing a connection between a portable device of the user and the electric lock; inputting and transmitting the temporary code to the electric lock via the portable device; the electric lock determining if the temporary code matches a default password; inputting a user information of the portable device via the portable device when the temporary code matches the default password; and storing the user information in the electric lock, so that the portable device is allowed to drive the electric lock to perform an action.
Method for operating a passive radio-based locking device and passive radio-based locking device with a mobile device as a transportation vehicle key
A method for operating a passive radio-based locking apparatus of a transportation vehicle wherein the locking apparatus enables at least one access function of the transportation vehicle, wherein the passive radio-based locking apparatus includes a mobile device embodied as a radio key unit and a transceiver at the transportation vehicle, between which at least two electromagnetic radio signals are exchanged for the electromagnetic radio connection, and for the operation, one parameter of each of the radio connections of the passive radio-based locking apparatus is modified. Prior to enabling the access function, an identification feature of at least two data communication interfaces for setting up communication for the radio connections at the radio key unit and/or at the transceiver is modified and also each is set to a latest value, and the access function is enabled only in response to the relevant identification feature having the latest value.
METHOD FOR OPERATING A PASSIVE RADIO-BASED LOCKING DEVICE AND PASSIVE RADIO-BASED LOCKING DEVICE WITH A MOBILE DEVICE AS A TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE KEY
A method for operating a passive radio-based locking apparatus of a transportation vehicle wherein the locking apparatus enables at least one access function of the transportation vehicle, wherein the passive radio-based locking apparatus includes a mobile device embodied as a radio key unit and a transceiver at the transportation vehicle, between which at least two electromagnetic radio signals are exchanged for the electromagnetic radio connection, and for the operation, one parameter of each of the radio connections of the passive radio-based locking apparatus is modified. Prior to enabling the access function, an identification feature of at least two data communication interfaces for setting up communication for the radio connections at the radio key unit and/or at the transceiver is modified and also each is set to a latest value, and the access function is enabled only in response to the relevant identification feature having the latest value.
