Patent number: 11055940Abstract: A system provides automated entry to properties. The system includes a lock box or an automated door lock placed at or near a property. The lock box or automated door lock includes circuitry that enables one-time entry to the property through the lockbox or automated door lock by limiting a time an entry code or signal is valid. The circuitry includes a memory that stores a hash table or a databased table that enables one-time entry and an automated lock mechanism that enables a locking and unlocking of the lock box or automated door lock. A network interface controller allows and facilitates wireless connection to a remote server.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2020Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: Consumer 2.0, Inc.Inventors: Merrick Schmidt-Lackner, Clark Li

Patent number: 11004289Abstract: Providing automated entry to a property includes an automated entry application receiving registration information from a visitor who desires to use the automated system for visiting properties. The automated entry application allows the visitor to schedule an automated showing of a property at a visitor selected time and date. A central property application enables the visitor to unlock a short-range wireless enabled lock box or the short-range wireless enabled automated door lock at the visitor selected time and date. The short-range wireless enabled device obtains an identifying number of the short-range wireless enabled lock box or the short-range wireless enabled automated door lock. The short-range wireless enabled device sends a wireless signal to the short-range wireless enabled lock box or the short-range wireless enabled automated door lock to unlock the short-range wireless enabled lock box or the short-range wireless enabled automated door lock.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2018Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: CONSUMER 2.0, INC.Inventors: Merrick Schmidt-Lackner, Clark Li

Patent number: 10984614Abstract: Automated entry to properties is implemented by a portable computing device receiving a registration of a visitor to use an automated system for visiting properties. The registration includes identification of the visitor and an image of the visitor. The visitor unlocks a lock box or an automated door lock on the property, subject to confirmation of identity of the visitor. This includes capturing an image of the visitor at the property or within a predetermined distance from the property, and performing a computer implemented comparison of the image of the visitor captured at the property, or within a predetermined distance from the property, with the image of the visitor included in the registration information to determine if there is a match.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2020Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: Consumer 2.0, Inc.Inventors: Merrick Schmidt-Lackner, Clark Li

Patent number: 10964144Abstract: Automated entry to properties is provided using a lock box or an automated door lock. In response to a request for entry of a property by a user device of a visitor, and upon an application on a computing device receiving and confirming identification information for the visitor a hashing table or a database table within the computing system is to generate a first access code based on a time value selected by the computing system. The access code is valid during a specific period of time identified by the time value. The user device provides the first access code to the lock box or the automated door lock at the property. The lock box or the automated door lock uses a value for time based on time of receipt of the first access code to access the table within the lock box or the automated door lock to obtain a second access code. The lock box or the automated door lock is unlocked when the first access code matches the second access code.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2020Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: Consumer 2.0, Inc.Inventors: Merrick Schmidt-Lackner, Clark Li
