Abstract
A method and system for providing access to a location secured by an electronically activated locking mechanism, the method comprising: detecting a geographical position of a mobile device. Determining that the detected geographical position of the mobile device is proximate to the location secured by the electronically activated locking mechanism. Transmitting a signal causing the electronically activated locking mechanism to unlock.
Claims24
A method for providing access to a location secured by an electronically activated locking mechanism, the method comprising the steps of:
- detecting a geographical position of a mobile device;
- determining that the detected geographical position of the mobile device is proximate to the location secured by the electronically activated locking mechanism;
- and
- transmitting a signal causing the electronically activated locking mechanism to unlock.
The method according to any previous claim, wherein determining that the geographical position of the mobile device is proximate to the location secured by the electronically activated locking mechanism further comprises determining that the geographical position is within a predetermined distance from the secured location.
The method according to any previous claim, wherein transmitting the signal causing the electronically activated locking mechanism to unlock further comprises the steps of transmitting a signal from the mobile device to a server and in response, transmitting a signal from the server to the electronically activated locking mechanism.
The method according to any previous claim, wherein the signal causing the electronically activated locking mechanism to unlock is transmitted in response to the determination that the determined geographical position of the mobile device is proximate to the location secured by the electronically activated locking mechanism.
The method according to any previous claim further comprising the step of initiating a recording from a camera of the mobile device in response to determining that the detected geographical position of the mobile device is proximate to the location secured by the electronically activated locking mechanism.
The method according to any previous claim further comprising the step of sending a notification indicating that the mobile device is proximate to the location secured by the electronically activated locking mechanism.
The method according to any previous claim further comprising the step of transmitting a further signal causing the electronically activated locking mechanism to lock.
The method according to any previous claim, wherein the signal causing the electronically activated locking mechanism to unlock enables the mobile device to issue a command to unlock the electronically activated locking mechanism.
The method according to any previous claim, wherein the signal causing the electronically activated locking mechanism to unlock is protected by encryption.
The method according to any previous claim further comprising the step of:
- before transmitting the signal causing the electronically activated locking mechanism to unlock issuing a request for access to the electronically activated locking mechanism.
A system for providing access to a location comprising:
- an electronically activated locking mechanism;
- memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause a computer to:
- receive a signal indicating that a mobile device is proximate to a location secured by the electronically activated locking mechanism and in response, transmitting a signal causing the electronically activated locking mechanism to unlock.
A non-transitory storage medium storing machine-executable instructions that, when executed, cause a computing device to provide access to a location secured by an electronically activated locking mechanism by:
- detecting a geographical position of a mobile device;
- determining that the detected geographical position of the mobile device is proximate to the location secured by the electronically activated locking mechanism;
- and
- transmitting a signal causing the electronically activated locking mechanism to unlock.
