Abstract
A storage container can include at least one movement sensor in or on a frame of the storage container and at least one movement sensor in or on a door of the storage container. A processor can compare outputs of the movement sensors to determine whether the door is open.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method of automatically generating an audit log corresponding to accessing a storage container comprising a plurality of sensors including at least a first accelerometer and a second accelerometer, the plurality of sensors configured to generate signals used to determine a door position of a door of the storage container, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- by a hardware processor of a lock verification system of the storage container,
- receiving a first sensor signal from the first accelerometer of the storage container;
- receiving a second sensor signal from the second accelerometer of the storage container;
- determining the door position of the door of the storage container relative to a frame of the storage container based at least in part on the first sensor signal and the second sensor signal, wherein determining the door position further comprises negating sensor fluctuations attributable to movement of the storage container from the determination of the door position of the storage container;
- and
- generating the audit log based at least in part on the door position of the door.
A lock verification system configured to generate an audit log corresponding to accessing a storage container comprising a plurality of sensors including at least a first accelerometer and a second accelerometer, the plurality of sensors configured to generate signals used to determine a door position of a door of the storage container, the lock verification system comprising:
- a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions;
- and
- a hardware processor in communication with the memory and configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to at least:
- receive a first sensor signal from the first accelerometer of the storage container;
- receive a second sensor signal from the second accelerometer of the storage container;
- determine the door position of the door of the storage container relative to a frame of the storage container based at least in part on the first sensor signal and the second sensor signal, wherein determining the door position further comprises negating sensor fluctuations attributable to movement of the storage container from the determination of the door position of the storage container;
- and
- generate the audit log based at least in part on the door position of the door.
