Abstract: A lock and switch controller system, a lock and switch device with offline responsiveness, and system with flexible commands are present. The disclosure provides a lock and/or switch and controller system having a controller with a means of receiving readable alpha and/or numeric input manually from a user using a keypad or other means. The apparatus disclosed herein, provides for the compilation of commands, encrypted in the form of human readable tokens containing covert instructions for the remote control and management of target devices. Any instructions to an appliance or any other users' credentials can be encrypted by an administrator and/or owner and delivered to the controller of the appliance by a user without compromising any security. The lock and switch controller system operates independently and can accept new rules without the presence of the administrator or owner and without connectivity to any communications network.

Abstract: The present invention provides a control system that can be used to control switches and locks with a view to providing controlled access to target devices. The control system comprises a code-generating process that can generate commands or instructions to a target device which are encrypted. The commands can be presented as a numeric token and delivered to a customer, who can manually input the token into a controller of an access unit, containing a lock or a switch, which in turn manages access and functionality of a target device or appliance. A control system allows a lock or switch to operate independently based on internally programmed algorithms within a controller without any wireless communication.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a PS2 input for receiving first input logic signals from a first device. A USB input receives second input logic signals from a second device. A RS232 input receives third input logic signals from a third device. A TTL input receives fourth input logic signals from a fourth device. A programmed logic circuit translates the first input logic signals, the second input logic signals, the third input logic signals and the fourth input logic signals to first output logic signals having a RS232 output. The programmed logic circuit further translates the first input logic signals, the second input logic signals, the third input logic signals and the fourth input logic signals to second output logic signals having a TTL output. A RS232 output transmits the first output logic signals to a POS device and a TTL output transmits the second output logic signals to a POS device. Input Ports for logic signals may be distinct in cases where a signal translation function is sought.
