  • Patent number: 10778016
    Abstract: A system is disclosed. The system has a door that selectively opens to allow access to a cavity and selectively closes to block access to the cavity, an electronic lock configured to selectively lock and unlock the door when the door is closed, the electronic lock including a user interface, computing memory having associated therewith code, and a processor communicatively coupled with the computing memory. The processor is configured to execute the code and to: receive a random code from a random code generator, program the electronic lock to unlock the door when the random code is entered via the user interface, and transfer data of the random code to a device of a system user so that the data is used to enter the random code to the user interface of the electronic lock to unlock the door.

  • Patent number: 10742047
    Abstract: A system is disclosed. The system has a door that selectively opens to allow access to a cavity and selectively closes to block access to the cavity, a lock configured to selectively lock and unlock the door when the door is closed, a camera configured to image a user area adjacent to the door, computing memory having associated therewith code, and a processor communicatively coupled with the computing memory. The system is configured to execute the code and to control the camera to record a first image data of the user area at a first time, store the first image data, control the camera to record a second image data of the user area at a second time, and selectively unlock the door based on comparing the second image data to the first image data.

  • Patent number: 10742046
    Abstract: Systems and methods for locating and providing public mobile device charging stations are disclosed. One or more charging stations may be configured to charge a battery of a mobile device. A database may be configured to store location information of the one or more charging stations as well as mobile device location and security credential information of the one or more respective mobile devices. A server communicatively coupled with the one or more charging stations and the database, may be configured to determine a proximity of the one or more charging stations to a location of the mobile device. This determination may be based on the station location information and the mobile device location information. Based on the determined proximity, provide the station location information of the respective one or more charging stations to the mobile device. The charging station further provides photo and/or video surveillance security to verify a user.

  • Publication number: 20180351375
    Abstract: Systems and methods for locating and providing public mobile device charging stations are disclosed. One or more charging stations may be configured to charge a battery of a mobile device. A database may be configured to store location information of the one or more charging stations as well as mobile device location and security credential information of the one or more respective mobile devices. A server communicatively coupled with the one or more charging stations and the database, may be configured to determine a proximity of the one or more charging stations to a location of the mobile device. This determination may be based on the station location information and the mobile device location information. Based on the determined proximity, provide the station location information of the respective one or more charging stations to the mobile device. The charging station further provides photo and/or video surveillance security to verify a user.
