Patent number: 11520480Abstract: A physical lock interface system facilitates secure and remote control of assignment and enablement of physical lock systems. The system receives a request to enable a user to disable a physical lock during a particular range of time. The lock is associated with a geofence boundary defined by a geofence. During the range of time, the system monitors for a presence of the user within the geofence. In response to determining that the user is within the geofence during the range of time, the system transmits a communication to an application of a client device of the user. The application is configured to interact electronically with the physical lock and to cause the client device to display information identifying the physical lock based on the communication. The system detects an electronic signal initiated by the application while the user is within the geofence and disables the physical lock.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2021Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Tekion CorpInventors: Gurusankar Sankararaman, Justin Alexander Chi-Young Hou, Keshav Athreya, Sanyam Agrawal
