Abstract: A door assembly includes a door, an electronic locking mechanism, and a camera system. The electronic locking mechanism is coupled to the door. The electronic locking mechanism has a first transceiver configured to facilitate wireless communication with a first external device via a first wireless communication protocol. The camera system is disposed within the door. The camera system has a second transceiver configured to facilitate wireless communication with a second external device via a second wireless communication protocol that is different than the first wireless communication protocol.

Abstract: The present application discloses systems and methods of providing different functionality to EAC devices using multiple algorithm/operand pairs, each tied to one or more different functions.

Abstract: A method for performing a lockout-tagout procedure includes reading, by a sensor of a portable device, a location tag positioned at a location or on a device that an electronic lock is associated with to acquire a location identifier; acquiring, by a communication device of the portable device, audit data from the electronic lock regarding at least one of a lock event or an unlock event of the electronic lock; and at least one of transmitting, by the communication device of the portable device, the audit data and the location identifier to a remote server configured to provide for determination of compliance with the lockout-tagout procedure using the audit data and the location identifier; or interpreting, by a processing circuit of the portable device, the audit data and the location identifier to determine at least one of the lock event or the unlock event is part of the lockout-tagout procedure.

Abstract: A method includes establishing communication between a first mobile device and a locking device; determining, using a location determination circuit of the first mobile device, a location of the first mobile device responsive to the communication with the locking device, the location indicative of a determined location of the locking device; storing the location in a memory of the first mobile device; retrieving the location from the memory of the first mobile device to facilitate providing the location to a guest user; receiving, by a server, permission for the guest user to access the locking device using a second mobile device; generating, by the server, a guest user profile in response to receiving the permission, the guest user profile comprising data usable to allow the guest user to lock or unlock the locking device; and transmitting, by the server, the guest user profile to the second mobile device.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable media for wireless key management for authentication. Authentication includes transmitting a request to a locking device, transmitting a security challenge to the mobile device, and transmitting a response to the challenge and an encrypted user profile for the locking device. The response includes data generated with an access key that is stored by both the mobile device and the locking device, and the user profile is encrypted by a server using a secret key that is stored by the server and the locking device. Authentication further includes verifying the response to the challenge, where the response is verified using the access key, and validating additional data from the mobile device. An action of the locking device may be initiated as specified by the request.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and computer-readable media for operating an electronic locking device. The disclosed methods include a method of predicting a battery life of an electronic locking product based at least in part on a usage history of the electronic locking product. The predicted battery life may include an adjustment based on received weather information relating to a location of the electronic locking device. The disclosed methods include a method of sharing an unlocking code to an electronic locking product by a first user to a second user.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable media for tracking location of locking devices. One locking device includes a wireless transceiver, a memory, an electronically controllable locking mechanism, a processor, and a location determination circuit configured to determine a location of the electronic locking device. The processor is configured to receive one or more location data items indicating the location of the electronic locking device at one or more times, to store the one or more location data items in the memory, and to transmit the one or more location data items from the memory to a mobile device via the wireless transceiver.

Abstract: A lockout-tagout system for use with at least one securing item may include at least one lock for locking the securing item in place. The lockout-tagout system may further include at least one lockout tag on or near the securing item or lock. The lockout tag may have a wireless identification device. The lockout-tagout system may further include a reader configured to read the wireless identification device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for an inline air purification system is described herein. An example apparatus includes a housing, a high-velocity air flow guide, a filter assembly, and a fan. The high-velocity air flow guide includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is configured to form a passage within the housing, and the second portion is configured to divert and accelerate air flow of the ambient air from the passage to a chamber of the housing. The filter assembly includes one or more filtering elements configured to receive the ambient air from the chamber. The fan is configured to draw the ambient air from the chamber through the filter assembly and to generate processed air from the ambient air. The housing is located in an HVAC duct, and occupies only part of the cross-sectional area of the duct. The remaining area of the duct accommodates bypass air flow to a primary fan in the HVAC system.
