Abstract: An electronic lock for controlling a lock mechanism includes a processor, a controller coupled to the processor and configured to change a locked/unlocked status of the electronic lock, a first communication receiver configured to receive information indicating a user proximity event relative to the electronic lock, and a transceiver coupled to the processor, the transceiver configured to receive data from a remote application over a network. The processor can be configured to define a geofencing boundary around the electronic lock, transmit the geofencing boundary information to the remote application over the network, receive data from the remote application over the network indicating a geofencing entry or exit event, and transmit an unlock command to the controller if a user's location is within a predetermined distance of the electronic lock and a user geofencing entry event occurred within a first predetermined prior time frame.
