Abstract: A GPS-tracked wireless-networked wheelchair system includes a wheelchair framework for carrying a passenger, and having a set of wheels adapted to rotate. A device-level machine-readable code is displayed on a surface associated with the wheelchair system. A brake assembly is arranged with the set of wheels and has a locked position, and an unlocked position. A wireless control module is operably connected to a wireless communication network. When a web-enabled mobile phone is used to (i) scan the device-level machine-readable code displayed on the wheelchair system, (ii) complete a wheelchair rental transaction over the wireless communication network, and (iii) obtain access control over the rented wheelchair system, then the wireless wheel locking control module unlocks the brake assembly, and the wheelchair framework is allowed to move relative to the ground surface.

Abstract: A wireless-networked stroller access control system includes a plurality of wireless-networked strollers, each having stroller framework for carrying a passenger, and having a set of wheels mounted on an axle. A device-level machine-readable code is displayed on a surface associated with the stroller system. A wheel brake assembly is arranged with the set of wheels and has a locked position, and an unlocked position. A manually-actuated control bar assembly is mounted on the stroller framework, arranged with respect to the wheel brake assembly, and has a locked state of operation and an unlocked state of operation. A wireless wheel-axle locking control module is arranged in wireless communication with a wireless communication infrastructure, and configured with the manually-actuated control bar assembly to control the state of operation of the manually-actuated control bar assembly and also the wheel brake assembly.

Abstract: A GPS-tracked wireless-networked electric convenience vehicle (ECV) includes a body portion adapted for supporting the body of passenger; a GPS system for providing GPS-location services to the GPS-tracked wireless-networked ECV; a transport system with wheels and a drive mechanism, for supporting and transporting the body portion; and a wireless electronic control module being integrated with the transport system, and in wireless communication with a wireless communication infrastructure, for controlling said wheels and/or the drive mechanism. When a web-enabled mobile phone is used to (i) scan a device-level machine-readable code displayed on the GPS-tracked wireless-networked ECV, (ii) complete an ECV rental transaction over the wireless communication infrastructure, and (iii) obtain access control over the rented GPS-tracked wireless-networked ECV, then the wireless electronic control module enables the GPS-tracked wireless-networked ECV to be operated on a ground surface.
