  • Publication number: 20150179012
    Abstract: A system for controlling user access to a room, the system includes a database for associating users with predetermined periods of time and a local user device mounted proximate to the room and electronically coupled to a lock mechanism of a door to the room. The system is configured to determine using the database, in response to first user input provided to the local device, that the room is scheduled for use by that user, to unlock the door to the room based on the determination and to lock the door after the scheduled period has elapsed. The system is further configured to display, via the local device, available periods of time during which the room is available for use, receive, at the local device, a selection from a local user to select an available period of time to use the room, and associate, in the database, the local user with the predetermined period of time based on the selection.
