| 20090033457 | Method for managing mobile operating devices - The invention relates to a method for managing mobile operating devices ( | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090085718 | Wireless hand-control of a device by means of a wirelss button - A system for providing wireless remote control over one or more devices. Included in the system is at least one wireless button that can be placed at various locations and which communicates with at least one sensor when the wireless button and sensor are brought within close proximity to one another. According to one embodiment, a wireless button can only be activated when the button is located within an authorized activation area. In another embodiment, a wireless button can only be activated by an authorized user. In yet a further embodiment, a wireless button can only be activated by an authorized user when the button is located within an authorized activation area. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090167488 | GPS ENABLED KEY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable media are provided for acquisition of a lockbox position. For example, in one embodiment a method is provided which receives positional data for a lockbox. After receiving the lockbox, when the lockbox is associated with one listing, the method determines proximity of the positional data to that one listing. If however, there is more than one listing within a predetermined distance of the positional data, the method compares the positional data with each listing in the plurality of listings. Thereafter, the method transmits a query, which includes at least, a result of the comparison. Embodiments of the invention also include other methods, computer-readable media, apparatuses, and systems that contain features similar to the features in the above described method. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20100176916 | ASSET SECURITY SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED METHODS FOR SELECTIVELY GRANTING ACCESS - An automated asset management and security system for providing selective authorized access to an asset disposed within or associated with a remotely located lockable device, including: a control console, including: a processor executing one or more algorithms operable for identifying a user, authorizing a predetermined level of access based upon the identity of the user, receiving a command from the user to provide access to the asset disposed within or associated with the remotely located lockable device, and generating a corresponding command for the lockable device; and a communications channel for delivering the corresponding command to the lockable device; wherein the lockable device includes: a controller having a unique address executing one or more algorithms for implementing the corresponding command and implementing the translated command; and an actuation mechanism operable for selectively providing access to the asset disposed within or associated with the remotely located lockable device responsive to the corresponding command. The processor further executes one or more algorithms operable for identifying the user based on acquired biometric data. The processor further executes one or more algorithms operable for recording the identity of the user and the time and nature of the received command. Optionally, the communications channel is a wireless communications channel. Preferably, the lockable device further includes one or more switches operable for detecting the status of the lockable device in terms of whether or not the lockable device is in an access granted, access denied, or alert status. The processor further executes one or more algorithms operable for recording the detected status of the lockable device. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20110057771 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENABLING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN A FIRST DEVICE AND AT LEAST ONE FURTHER DEVICE - A controller node for an entertainment control network, comprises controller logic arranged to be paired with at least one controlled device over a wireless interface. The controller logic is further arranged to provide pairing information for the at lease one controlled device with which it is paired to a further node within the entertainment control network. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20150028993 | Method and System for Self-discovery and Management of Wireless Security Devices - A system and method for automated discovery of wireless locks in a security system allows installers to assign each wireless lock to a slot on a wireless hub that provides wireless communications to the wireless locks. Device controllers poll the wireless hubs to discover the communications paths to each wireless lock. The device controllers store the information obtained from the polling, and present the information to a control system that manages the wireless locks. This eliminates the current practice of manually updating assignment information on the control system between wireless hub slots and the wireless locks in response to additions, deletions, or relocations of wireless locks within the security system. This is especially useful in installations that include hundreds or thousands of wireless locks within office buildings, hotels, or conference centers. | 01-29-2015 |
| 20150339872 | System for securing packages - System for securing packages against unauthorized access, preferably for receiving and/or shipping packages, with several securing devices for securing a package and with a central device, which is designed to receive a reservation signal and on the basis of the reservation signal to select one of the securing devices, hereinafter referred to as a selected securing device, and to generate and to emit a booking signal and/or a reservation confirmation signal, whereby the selected securing device can be controlled by verification with the booking signal and/or the reservation confirmation signal in such a way that the package can be secured in or released from the selected securing device. | 11-26-2015 |
| 20160133076 | PUBLIC SERVICE MANAGEMENT METHOD, PUBLIC SERVICE MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, AND PUBLIC SERVICE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS FOR PROPERLY PROVIDING PUBLIC SERVICES - There is a need to effectively determine which users should be given priority for using a public service. A way of improving the public service can be to acquire information on congestion degree in use of the public service, to determine whether the congestion degree is higher than a specified level or not, and to transmit information that urges cease of the use of the public service being used to users who have higher utilization of the public service than other users among a plurality of users if the congestion degree is higher than the specified level. | 05-12-2016 |
