  • Systems, methods, and devices for electronic dynamic lock assembly
    Patent number: 11821236
    Abstract: A lock management system manages access to a controlled environment by locking or unlocking a door. The lock management system can actuate one or more components of a lock system to lock or unlock the door. To determine whether to lock or unlock the door, the lock management system can establish a connection with one or more devices. The lock management system can receive an access credential via the connection and authenticate the access credential. Based on authenticating the access credential, the lock management system can lock or unlock the door. The lock management system can monitor a door status and/or door activity and provide alerts to a user computing device.

  • Wireless time attendance system and method
    Patent number: 9436933
    Abstract: A system and method for tracking and communicating time and attendance data for workers at a remote worksite is disclosed. A portable time and attendance device is configured to receive and store worker time attendance data and transmit the data to a remote computer via a wireless network, such as a wireless cellular communications network. In order to conserve battery power, a main unit of the device periodically queries an electronic time and attendance clock of the device according to a pre-established schedule to determine if new worker time and attendance data has been received. If so, according to the pre-established schedule, the new worker time and attendance data is transmitted to the remote computer via the wireless network. Otherwise, certain functions and components of the device remain in a low battery usage sleep mode.
