  • Patent number: 12380749
    Abstract: A system includes a server having a communication device and a processing circuit. The communication device is configured to facilitate communication with electronic devices. The processing circuit is configured to receive permission from a first user device for a guest user to access an electronic lock using a second user device, provide a notification to the second user device regarding a guest user profile, receive an activation command from the second user device based on the notification, generate the guest user profile for the guest user in response to receiving the permission and the activation command, and transmit the guest user profile to the second user device. The guest user profile is usable to allow the guest user to unlock the electronic lock.

  • Patent number: 11373471
    Abstract: A locking system includes a server, an electronic locking mechanism, and a controller associated with a user. The controller is configured to detect the electronic locking mechanism and acquire lock data therefrom, and transmit the lock data to the server. The server, absent any interaction from the user, is configured to receive the lock data for the electronic locking mechanism, register the electronic locking mechanism to the user, and transmit an access credential for accessing the electronic locking mechanism to a user device associated with the user. The electronic locking mechanism is configured to receive the access credential directly from the user device or indirectly from the user device through the controller and make an access decision based on the access credential, independent of the server.
