Abstract: An elevator system including an elevator controller configured for: effecting a first communication with a mobile device to receive data from an electronic calendar that is activated on the mobile device, rendering a plurality of determinations from the first communication, including: a first determination that a first entry in the electronic calendar indicates that a passenger associated with the mobile device has a first scheduled event that occurs at a first scheduled time, a second determination to effect elevator service proximate to the first scheduled time to the passenger, and effecting a second communication with the elevator car to thereby effect the second determination.

Abstract: A method of changing a rate of advertising for at least one of a multiple of access controls, including transmitting advertisements from an access control at a nominal rate and changing the nominal rate in response to detection by a sensor.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for monitoring a location of a key relative to a keybox, configured to perform: (i) providing access to the key by: communicating over a personal area network with a first mobile-device for the first user as the first user approaches the keybox in an attempt to obtain the key, obtaining first credentials from the first mobile-device, determining whether the first credentials are valid or invalid, when the first credentials are valid: putting the keybox in an unlocked configuration, (ii) tracking a location of the key by: communicating over the personal area network with: the key and/or mobile-device to determine whether the key is being returned to the keybox, wherein upon a determination by the keybox or the mobile-device that the key is not being returned, an alert is provided by the mobile-device to the first user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for changing the premises in a building such as a hotel or the like. An accessing device is encoded and provided to a guest to access first premises. The guest may request for second premises. Accordingly, the guest may receive information related to second premises along with a unique code to access the second premises. On entering the unique code the guest is prompting to receive second encoding associated with the second premises.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention are directed towards a system and a method for automatically calling an elevator. One or more embodiments of the invention describe a method comprising steps of receiving, from an accessing device, a state of the accessing device associated with the premises and prompting a user of a user device to provide information based on the state. The method further comprising step of transmitting a request to the accessing device for automatically calling an elevator based on the information provided by the user.

Abstract: A method of managing seamless access to locks with person/head detection is provided and includes receiving, at a mobile device, a signal from an access control device that includes a camera sensor. The signal includes an identifier of the access control device and a status of a region of interest of the camera sensor. It is determined that the mobile device includes a credential that is authorized to unlock the access control device. Based on the signal it is determined whether a person is in the region of interest of the camera sensor and moving towards the access control device. A request is transmitted to the access control device to unlock the access control device based at least in part on determining that a person is in the region of interest of the camera sensor and moving towards the access control device.

Abstract: A method for credentialing access to a restricted area includes receiving a reservation request at a reservation server and extracting reservation information from the reservation request using the reservation server. The reservation information includes at least a set of authorized visitors from the reservation request, a timestamp of the reservation request, and a room identifier of the reservation request. The method passes the reservation information to a credentialing server, authenticates the reservation request by at least verifying a payment, and provides an access credential to each visitor in the set of authorized visitors.
