In a building communication system for a building, a server device is provided which has a processor device and a storage device connected thereto, the storage device storing data sets in which display information that is predetermined for visitors is provided. An optical code is provided on the building, which optical code can be read by a mobile device of a visitor. In order to contact a resident of the building, the visitor scans the optical code with a mobile device. If the visitor is known in the system, the server device sends the display information predetermined for the visitor to their mobile device, which displays the personalized display information on a display of the mobile device.

A combined security access system for a building that includes a controllable building component. The system includes a combined security access device connected to the building component. The access device further includes: a processor; a first memory device connected to the processor; a second memory device connected to the processor; and a wireless interface module connected to the processor. The access device may be connected to an external electronic device, and the external electronic device communicates with the processor of the access control system to control the building component.

To provide a device for measuring a time of passage that is capable of sensing passage of the torso more accurately than a photoelectric cell while maintaining the ease of use of a photoelectric cell, passage of a runner is sensed by causing the upper portion of the body of the runner to be broadly illuminated by infrared light, visible light, and/or other such electromagnetic waves, and by detecting light reflected from large part(s) of the body of the runner.

In one aspect, an in-vehicle device is provided that includes a sensor configured to detect a vehicle characteristic indicative of the vehicle being in proximity to a location associated with a movable barrier operator. The in-vehicle device includes communication circuitry to communicate an open command to the movable barrier operator that causes the movable barrier operator to open a movable barrier connected to the movable barrier operator. A memory is configured to store a vehicle arrival condition indicative of whether the vehicle arrived at the location associated with the movable barrier operator. A processor is configured to determine satisfaction of the vehicle arrival condition and, upon the vehicle arrival condition not being satisfied, cause the communication circuitry to communicate a close command to the movable barrier operator that causes the movable barrier operator to close the movable barrier.

A job site security system contains a wireless communications node and a device such as a tool, a battery, a charger, etc., which contains a controller. Each tool has a locked state and an unlocked state as determined by the controller. Each tool is (initially) in the locked state. When the wireless communications node transmits a signal to the device the controller changes the locked state to the unlocked state allowing the device to be used. A method for securing a job site is also provided.

A vehicle management system includes a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to acquire location information relating to a location of the vehicle, determine if the vehicle has arrived at a destination based on the location information, and provide a signal to switch at least one of a transmission of the vehicle or a braking subsystem of the vehicle from an operational condition to a locked condition in response to at least the vehicle arriving at the destination, thereby preventing undesired operation of the vehicle.

It is provided a method for controlling access to a physical space using a co-sign delegation. The method is performed in a lock device and comprises the steps of: receiving an access request from an electronic key; obtaining a plurality of delegations, wherein each delegation is a delegation from a delegator to a delegatee, the plurality of delegations collectively forming a chain of delegations; determining that a delegation is a co-sign delegation, indicating that all further delegations need to be cryptographically signed by both the delegator of the respective delegation and by an access controller; and granting access to the physical space when the chain of delegations start in an owner of the lock device and ends in the electronic key; and when all delegations in the chain of delegations after the co-sign delegation are cryptographically signed by both the delegator of the respective delegation and by the access controller.

Systems, devices, methods, and program products for enhancing structure walkthroughs are disclosed. In various embodiments, a method includes: monitoring a current location of an interested party (IP) device utilizing data collected by the IP device during a walkthrough of a structure having a structure representative (SR); detecting, based on the current location of the IP device, when the IP device is brought into proximity of a first SR-marked location included in a plurality of structure SR-marked locations; and in response to detecting that the IP device has been brought into proximity of the first SR-marked location, (i) identifying a first SR-created message corresponding to the first SR-marked location and contained in a location-referenced message set; and (ii) generating or causing generation of an SR message notification on the IP device, the SR message notification presenting or offering to present the first SR-created message to the interested party.

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.

The present disclosure relates to a bi-directional overrunning clutch, electronic door locks having bi-directional overrunning clutches, and methods of using the same. In certain embodiments, the electronic door lock includes a first locking mechanism for driving an inner wheel through a first torque to rotate a rotatable shaft to operate a locking device on a door by a user from outside, a second locking mechanism for driving inner wheel through the first torque to operate the locking device from an inside, a third locking mechanism for driving an outer wheel rotatable coaxially around the rotatable shaft through a second torque to operate the locking device electronically, and the bi-directional overrunning clutch. When outer wheel rotates at second torque, inner wheel and rotatable shaft rotate along with outer wheel, and when inner wheel rotates at first torque, outer wheel does not rotate along with inner wheel and rotatable shaft.
