Abstract: Aspects of the invention are directed towards a system and a method for providing access of an accessing device to a user. One or more embodiments of the invention describe the method comprising steps of detecting a charged status of a battery of a user device and prompting a user of the user device to define credentials when the charged status of the battery reaches below a pre-determined threshold. One or more embodiments of the invention further describe steps of receiving the defined credentials from the user to access an accessing device and transmitting the defined credentials to a server for providing access of the accessing device to the user.

Abstract: A method of powering a door lock including a deadbolt and a thumb-turn lever mechanically connected to the deadbolt through one or more mechanical linkages including: converting mechanical energy of the deadbolt being moved to electricity using a nanogenerator; and providing the electricity to at least one of an energy storage device of the door lock or a controller of the door lock, wherein the nanogenerator is located on at least one of the thumb-turn lever, the deadbolt, or the one or more mechanical linkages.

Abstract: Configuring a sanitization mode for a predetermined time interval for sanitizing a premises. A first predefined pattern is received on a lock associated with the premises from a user within the predetermined time interval to indicate starting of the sanitization process. Subsequently, a second predefined pattern is received on the lock within the predetermined time interval to indicate a completion of the sanitization process. An indicator is displayed based on the first predefined pattern and the second determined pattern and simultaneously communicating the sanitization status to an authorized user.

Abstract: A method of granting seamless access to a room including: detecting a location of a mobile device being carried by an individual; determining that the location of the mobile device is located proximate a property entrance to a property; obtaining a picture of a face of the individual using a camera; verifying an identity of the individual in response to at least the picture of the face of the individual; and transmitting a digital room key to the mobile device.

Abstract: A method of determining a battery lifespan in an access control device includes determining a reference number of access events for the battery to transition from an initial voltage to a low voltage condition; collecting, in real time, a number of access events at the access control device; comparing the number of access events at the access control device to the reference number of access events; and determining the battery lifespan in response to the number of access events at the access control device and the reference number of access events.

Abstract: A system is provided for deployment in a building with multiple rooms. The system includes a network and a monitoring element disposed in signal communication with the network. The monitoring element is configured to monitor an occupancy status of one of the multiple rooms and to report the occupancy status to the network. The network is configured to provide a notification reflective of the occupancy status.
