A luggage lock device includes: a plurality of luggage lock mechanisms able to store luggage of a user of a vehicle so that when locked, the luggage is restricted from being taken out; and a luggage lock control device connected to the plurality of luggage lock mechanisms. The luggage lock control device is configured to: control the plurality of luggage lock mechanisms; acquire a destination of a user; and recognize a user who stowed luggage in the luggage lock mechanism and the luggage lock mechanism in which the user stowed the luggage, and wherein the luggage lock control device is configured to unlock a luggage lock mechanism storing luggage of the user arriving at the destination when the vehicle reaches the destination of the user.

An identity-locked personal item is provided with a lock body configured to receive and release an engagement member upon receiving a matched biometric imprint from an authorized user. An actuator mechanism is connected to at least one capacitive surface and a controller with an integrated power supply inside the lock body, the lock body being further integrated into a secured container. The controller is configured to receive a contact datum from the capacitive surface, the actuator mechanism being operated upon recognition of a known datum or biometric signature.

A lock can include a motor assembly, a gear assembly, and an unlocking assembly. The motor assembly can include a motor and a drive shaft. The gear assembly can include a cam, a pinion gear, and a pinion. The pinion gear can include a plurality of teeth disposed along only a portion of a perimeter of the pinion gear. The pinion gear can be configured to engage the pinion. The pinion can be configured to translate laterally to release a biasing member to unlock a door of a container.

A smart lock box system is described. One implementation of the lock box system includes a locking mechanism configured to securely hold a cover over a compartment. The lock box system includes a receiver capable of receiving signals from a user device. The lock box system also includes a processor configured to identify an access message in a received signal, a service to verify that the access message was provided by an authorized party, and cause the locking mechanism to be released in response to verifying that the access message was provided by the authorized party. The open/close events are recorded in a distributed ledger to document which user's device was used to access a given property at a given time. Furthermore, the smart lock box system utilizes a push notification service, based on user device's GPS, to inform owners when to depart/return to the property.

An intelligent lock, overlock, and lock system can be electrically controlled to open and close one or more locks. The lock, lock system, and method may function on a frequency selected to avoid cross talk, which permits numerous locks to function simultaneously on the same central system with little interruption or delay. A lock may be used as an overlock for an existing lock or be a primary lock and may include a pivoting engagement structure that engages a locking mechanism to provide added strength.

An electronic lock includes a housing, and a locking system within the housing. The locking system includes electronics and a lock. More particularly, the housing contains therein, a controller and at least one electronic input device electrically coupled to the controller, where the controller causes the lock to transition between a locked position to an unlocked position responsive to input from the electronic input device.

A position keyed lockbox is unlocked by geographical location data or other positional data and includes an enclosure, a locking mechanism, and a control system. The control system unlocks the lockbox when the lockbox is taken to a location that matches a pre-selected location stored in the memory.

Disclosed is a system for monitoring a location of a key relative to a keybox, configured to perform: (i) providing access to the key by: communicating over a personal area network with a first mobile-device for the first user as the first user approaches the keybox in an attempt to obtain the key, obtaining first credentials from the first mobile-device, determining whether the first credentials are valid or invalid, when the first credentials are valid: putting the keybox in an unlocked configuration, (ii) tracking a location of the key by: communicating over the personal area network with: the key and/or mobile-device to determine whether the key is being returned to the keybox, wherein upon a determination by the keybox or the mobile-device that the key is not being returned, an alert is provided by the mobile-device to the first user.

The present invention is an improved electronic lock for use on cargo containers, storage trailers, tractor-trailers, houses, sheds, vehicles or other structures. The improved electronic lock communicates with a mobile wireless communication device such as a smart phone, and may be selectively locked or unlocked. The improved electronic lock may be configured as two independent locking mechanisms within one locking unit and having a traditional shackle-style locking portion and another locking shank portion for securing (or sealing) door latch bars commonly found on tractor-trailer cargo doors. The improved electronic lock further includes a Global Positioning System (GPS) so that the secured (or sealed) cargo container or trailer can be tracked by the improved lock device's location.
