A remote control system includes a first control device, a second control device, and a remote control device. The first control device performs an operation control on a first controlled device mounted on a moving body. The second control device performs an operation control on a second controlled device installed in a building. When one of the operation control on the first controlled device by the first control device and the operation control on the second controlled device by the second control device has been performed, the remote control device causes, by a remote control, an execution of an other of the operation control on the first controlled device by the first control device and the operation control on the second controlled device by the second control device.

A system of isolation management comprises a computer for generating an isolation plan; a lockbox configured to receive the isolation plan from the computer; a mobile device associated with an individual, and one or more locks for isolation locking of an asset by each individual according to the isolation plan. The mobile device is allocated to the lockbox according to the isolation plan. The lockbox is configured to recognise the mobile device when proximal to the lockbox. The one or more isolation locks are removably housed in the lockbox. The one or more isolation locks are each able to be recognised by the mobile device and the mobile device is configured to record an association of one or more of the isolation locks to the mobile device according to the isolation plan. There is also an isolation point for isolating the asset with the one or more isolation locks according to the isolation plan. The isolation point is able to be recognised by the mobile device.

A system of embedding access control logic into a network gear according to an embodiment includes a plurality of access control devices including corresponding lock mechanisms configured to control access through corresponding passageways, a headend access control system configured to manage access control data associated with the plurality of access control devices, and a network switch communicatively coupled to the headend access control system and comprising a smart communication manager, wherein the smart communication manager includes an application programming interface accessible by the headend access control system and translates commands received from the headend access control system into payloads readable by the plurality of access control devices.

Disclosed is an electronic device including a communication circuit and a processor. The processor may be configured to communicate with an external electronic device based on a specified protocol, using the communication circuit, to receive first information at least including type information of the external electronic device based on the specified protocol, using the communication circuit, and to determine a positioning master for measuring a distance between the electronic device and the external electronic device based at least on the first information among the electronic device and the external electronic device. Other various embodiments as understood from the specification are also possible.

A wireless network, mobile systems and methods for controlling access to lockers, strollers, wheel chairs and electronic convenience vehicles and other networked devices provided with machine-readable codes that are scanned by mobile phones and computing devices.

A lock control apparatus for a vehicle includes anchors to receive a signal transmitted from a terminal; a communication module to communicate using controller area network (CAN) communication; a detector installed on a door to input a detection signal; and a processor to receive the signal transmitted from the terminal from at least one of the anchors through the communication module, calculate a position of the terminal based on the signal transmitted from the terminal, determine whether to unlock the door in response to the position of the terminal and the detection signal, and control an engine to start. The processor controls the anchors to enter a sleep mode in response to waiting times of the anchors and resets the anchors to release the sleep mode and controls the anchors to enter a waiting mode in response to the number of anchors transmitting the signal from the terminal.

An electronic device includes a memory circuitry, an interface circuitry, and a processor circuitry. The processor circuitry is configured to determine prioritization data associated with the one or more access control devices. The processor circuitry is configured to control, based on the prioritization data, at least one of the one or more access control devices.

A module includes a housing including a battery housing portion that houses a battery, an operation accepting unit including a first board including accepting means that accepts an operation and is arranged on the first board, the first board being attached to the housing, and a second board housed within the battery housing portion along with the battery. A control circuit electrically connected to the accepting means is arranged on the second board.

A GPS-tracked wireless-networked wheelchair system includes a wheelchair framework for carrying a passenger, and having a set of wheels adapted to rotate. A device-level machine-readable code is displayed on a surface associated with the wheelchair system. A brake assembly is arranged with the set of wheels and has a locked position, and an unlocked position. A wireless control module is operably connected to a wireless communication network. When a web-enabled mobile phone is used to (i) scan the device-level machine-readable code displayed on the wheelchair system, (ii) complete a wheelchair rental transaction over the wireless communication network, and (iii) obtain access control over the rented wheelchair system, then the wireless wheel locking control module unlocks the brake assembly, and the wheelchair framework is allowed to move relative to the ground surface.

An access card may store an encrypted operation key and a key used to read the encrypted operation key from the access card. The encrypted operation key and the key may be based on a unique identifier (UID) of the access card. The encrypted operation key may be obtained by encrypting an operation key using a cryptographic key that is also based on the UID of the access card. An access card reader may read the UID from the access card and use it to generate the key used to read the encrypted operation key from the access card. The access card read may also use the UID read from the access card to generate a cryptographic key used to decrypt the encrypted operation key. The access card reader may validate the decrypted operation key and determine whether to grant or deny access, for example, via an access control device.
