The one or more processors extract, from an electronic communication relating to a parcel delivery received by the communication device, one or more delivery event relevant data fields that include at least a parcel delivery location and a parcel delivery location and cause the communication device to transmit an electronic entry system control communique allowing entry through an entry control system situated at the parcel delivery location at the parcel delivery time to the entry control system. The electronic entry system control communique may only be valid for a predefined duration spanning the parcel delivery time. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method in an electronic device, the method comprising: extracting, by one or more processors, at least a parcel delivery time and a parcel delivery location from an electronic communication relating to a parcel delivery; and causing, by the one or more processors, a communication device to transmit an electronic entry system control communique allowing entry through an entry control system situated at the parcel delivery location at the parcel delivery time to the entry control system; wherein the electronic entry system control communique is valid only for a duration that includes the parcel delivery time; and the one or more processors present a delivery missed alert on a user interface of the electronic device upon expiration of the duration. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising causing, by the one or more processors, a timer to start when the duration commences. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein determining the expiration of the duration comprises detecting the timer expiring. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising, in response to detecting the timer expiring, causing, by the one or more processors, the communication device to transmit an electronic entry system control revocation communique to the entry control system. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising: also detecting, by the one or more processors of the electronic device from other signals received from the communication device of the electronic device, receipt by the communication device of another electronic communication confirming the parcel delivery; and stopping the timer. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising: also detecting, by the one or more processors of the electronic device from other signals received from the communication device of the electronic device, receipt by the communication device of another electronic communication confirming the parcel delivery prior to expiration of the timer; and causing, by the one or more processors, presentation of a parcel delivery alert on a user interface of the electronic device. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the electronic entry system control communique comprises a quick response (QR) code. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the entry control system comprises an automatic premises entry allowance device. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the automatic premises entry allowance device comprises an automatic gate. ### Claim 10 An electronic device, comprising: a communication device; a user interface; and one or more processors operable with the communication device and the user interface; wherein the one or more processors are configured to extract, from an electronic communication relating to a parcel delivery received by the communication device, at least a parcel delivery time and a parcel delivery location and cause the communication device to transmit an electronic entry system control communique allowing entry through an entry control system situated at the parcel delivery location at the parcel delivery time to the entry control system; wherein the electronic entry system control communique is valid only for a predefined duration spanning the parcel delivery time; and the one or more processors present a delivery missed alert on the user interface of the electronic device upon expiration of the predefined duration. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The electronic device of claim 10, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to revoke the electronic entry system control communique upon expiration of the predefined duration. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The electronic device of claim 10, wherein the one or more processors are configured to cause the communication device to transmit the electronic entry system control communique allowing entry through the entry control system situated at the parcel delivery location at the parcel delivery time to the entry control system when the electronic device is situated at the parcel delivery location. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The electronic device of claim 10, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to cause the user interface to present a parcel delivery alert when the electronic device is situated more than a predetermined distance from the parcel delivery location when the electronic communication relating to the parcel delivery is received by the communication device. ### Claim 14 A method in an electronic device, the method comprising: detecting, by one or more processors of the electronic device from signals received from a communication device of the electronic device, receipt by the communication device of an electronic communication relating to a parcel delivery; extracting, by the one or more processors, one or more delivery event relevant data fields from the electronic communication relating to the parcel delivery; determining, by the one or more processors from one or more sensors of the electronic device, whether a location of the electronic device corresponds to a delivery location extracted from the one or more delivery event relevant data fields; and when the location of the electronic device corresponds to the delivery location extracted from the one or more delivery event relevant data fields, establishing, by the one or more processors, a geofence about the location. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, further comprising, when the location of the electronic device corresponds to the delivery location extracted from the one or more delivery event relevant data fields: constructing, by the one or more processors, an electronic entry system control communique as a function of the one or more delivery event relevant data fields extracted from the electronic communication relating to the parcel delivery; and causing, by the one or more processors, the communication device to transmit the electronic entry system control communique to a remote electronic device. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, further comprising, when the electronic device exits the geofence, causing, by the one or more processors, presentation of an impending delivery alert on a user interface of the electronic device. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, the impending delivery alert comprising one or more user actuation targets that, when actuated, cause a revocation of the electronic entry system control communique. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The method of claim 17, further comprising, in response to actuation of the one or more user actuation targets, terminating, by the one or more processors, the geofence about the location. ### Claim 19 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, further comprising, when the location fails to correspond to the delivery location extracted from the one or more delivery event relevant data fields, causing, by the one or more processors, presentation of an impending delivery alert on a user interface of the electronic device. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the electronic entry system control communique is valid only for a predefined duration.
