The energy storage device can be used to power an actuator and/or accelerometer in the main housing.

An information processing apparatus including a control unit configured to perform obtaining result data indicating a result of locking and unlocking performed by a locking and unlocking device that performs locking and unlocking based on authentication information obtained from a portable terminal carried by a user, and generating, based on the result data, proposal data including a proposal for a service to be provided to the user.

A method for controlling a gate device in connection with at least one gate and two frameworks connected to the at least one gate is provided. The method may include identifying an authorization status of an object. The method may include detecting pressure signals caused by the object at a first moment, if the authorization status is satisfied. The method may include determining whether or not an illegal tailgating event occurred based on the pressure signals. The method may further include generating a control signal for opening the at least one gate to facilitate the object to pass through the at least one gate in response to a determination that the illegal tailgating event did not occur.

An intelligent lock mechanism includes a retrofittable apparatus comprising a constant temperature monitor, wherein the lock apparatus can be maintained at an operating temperature by engaging the motor to keep sufficient temperature for consistent operability.
