Abstract
Rental property management technology, in which reservation data is accessed on a rental property management server, and a request from a mobile device for an upcoming reservation at a property is detected. In response to detecting the request, the rental property management server confirms the upcoming reservation based on the accessed reservation data. In response to confirming the upcoming reservation, the reservation management server generates a unique access code. The rental property management server transmits the unique access code to the mobile device and to a monitoring system on the property. The rental property management server also transmits data to the monitoring system indicating that the unique access code grants access to the property.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- generating, by a rental property management server and in response to confirming an upcoming reservation to access a property made through a user interface from a mobile device, a unique access code;
- transmitting, from the rental property management server to the mobile device, the unique access code;
- receiving, at an electronic locking mechanism that secures an entryway of the property, the unique access code;
- in response to receiving the unique access code at the electronic lock, providing a user of the mobile device access to the property by unlocking the electronic locking mechanism that secures the entryway of the property;
- generating, by the rental property management server and based on user information mapped to the user of the mobile device, a set of one or more monitoring system actions, wherein at least one of the monitoring system actions controls an appliance or system within the property;
- performing, by the rental property management server, the set of one or more monitoring actions;
- outputting, to the user and on the mobile device, tour information that assists the user in touring the property;
- receiving, by the rental property management server and from the monitoring system on the property, first sensor data indicating a user action of the user within the property;
- predicting, based on the user action of the user within the property and a user interest model, whether the user is interested in the property;
- receiving, from the user, feedback regarding the property;
- updating, based on the received feedback, the user interest model;
- and
- storing, by the rental property management server and in a database, the updated user interest model.
