Abstract: A method of dynamically changing a mode of advertising for at least one of a multiple of access controls, including transmitting advertisements from an access control at a nominal mode; and changing the nominal mode in response to a pre-set schedule.

Abstract: A method of secure access through a wireless connection is provided. The method includes detecting availability of an access control wirelessly by a mobile device. A predicted intent is determined of a user of the mobile device to have the access control open a lock. The method determines whether a relay attack is detected. Based on detection of the relay attack, a prompt to confirm an intent of the user of the mobile device to have the access control open a lock is determined. Based on non-detection of the relay attack, a lock actuator is activated through the access control to open the lock responsive to a credential based on affirmatively confirming the intent or the predicted intent.

Abstract: A method of controlling access through a Bluetooth connection is provided. The method comprising: detecting Bluetooth advertisements of one or more access controllers using a mobile device application; determining whether to connect to the Bluetooth advertisements using the mobile device application; connecting the mobile device application to each of the one or more access controllers using separate Bluetooth connections; enumerating services of each access controller using the mobile device application; authenticating the mobile device application by transferring a credential; detecting intent of the mobile device application to engage a specific access controller; and activating a lock actuator within the specific access controller.

Abstract: A locking device for providing access to a structure includes a locking mechanism configured to selectively switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. A wireless interface is operatively connected to the locking mechanism to control change between the locked and unlocked states. The wireless interface is configured to periodically beacon a data packet providing information to listening devices in a local area without requiring a bi-directional connection and to support bi-directional connections as needed to transfer data to the locking device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable media are provided for acquisition of a lockbox position. For example, in one embodiment a method is provided which receives positional data for a lockbox. After receiving the lockbox, when the lockbox is associated with one listing, the method determines proximity of the positional data to that one listing. If however, there is more than one listing within a predetermined distance of the positional data, the method compares the positional data with each listing in the plurality of listings. Thereafter, the method transmits a query, which includes at least, a result of the comparison. Embodiments of the invention also include other methods, computer-readable media, apparatuses, and systems that contain features similar to the features in the above described method.

Abstract: A lockbox can comprise one or more sensors for detecting tampering with one or more portions of the lockbox. For example, in some embodiments the one or more sensors are configured to detect cutting or breaking of the shackle (or other portion of the lockbox) configured to secure the lockbox to another object. As a result of detecting tampering, a wireless communication device coupled to the lockbox transmits a notification to a monitoring station. Some embodiments of the lockbox perform detection and transmission of lockbox position data.
