Abstract: A method of using an electronic locking system to access one of a plurality of lockers includes programming the electronic locking system by recording at least one biometric characteristic of a user when the user is located at the plurality of lockers, and associating the recorded at least one biometric characteristic of the user with the one of a plurality of lockers so that the user is authorized to access the one of a plurality of lockers. The method includes re-recording the at least one biometric characteristic of the user and comparing the re-recorded at least one biometric characteristic of the user with the recorded at least one biometric characteristic of the user, and unlocking the one of a plurality of lockers if the re-recorded at least one biometric characteristic of the user matches the recorded at least one biometric characteristic of the user.

Abstract: An electronic locking system comprising a plurality of lockers, a controller in communication with the plurality of lockers for electronically controlling locking and unlocking of the plurality of lockers, and a biometric sensor in communication with the controller for recording a biometric characteristic of a user when the user is located at the plurality of lockers. The controller associates the recorded biometric characteristic of the user with one of the plurality of lockers thereby permitting only the user to open the one locker.

Abstract: A method of using an electronic locking system to access one of a plurality of lockers includes programming the system by recording at least one biometric characteristic of a user, storing the recorded biometric characteristic of the user in memory, and associating the recorded biometric characteristic of the user with one of the lockers so that the user is authorized to access the locker. The method also includes locking the locker, re-recording the biometric characteristic of the user, after the re-recording step, comparing the re-recorded biometric characteristic of the user with the recorded biometric characteristic of the user and unlocking the locker if the re-recorded biometric characteristic of the user matches the recorded biometric characteristic of the user. The system is newly reprogrammed for each subsequent user of the locker.

Abstract: An electronic locking system has a plurality of lockable storage enclosures, and a controller for controlling locking and unlocking of the storage enclosures. The system also includes a biometric sensor in communication with the controller for sensing one or more identifying characteristics of users, the controller being adapted to store the one or more identifying characteristics from the users in a memory and linking the stored identifying characteristics for the users with one of the lockable storage enclosures. The system is dynamic so that each time a lockable storage enclosure is used, one or more new identifying characteristics are associated with the lockable storage enclosure for locking and unlocking the lockable storage enclosure. Also disclosed is an intelligent locking device having a first slidable bolt for locking and unlocking a first enclosed area and a second slidable bolt for locking and unlocking a second enclosed area.

Abstract: An electronic locking system has a plurality of lockable storage enclosures, and a controller in communication with the lockable storage enclosures for controlling locking and unlocking of the storage enclosures. The electronic locking system also includes a biometric sensor in communication with the controller for sensing one or more identifying characteristics of multiple users, the controller being adapted to store the one or more identifying characteristics from the multiple users in a memory and linking the stored identifying characteristics for each one of the users with one of the lockable storage enclosures.
