Abstract: A keyway illumination and key-loss prevention system and method provides a smart key having a master module, and a keyway having an integral slave module. The modules are in operational communication with a mobile communication device. The mobile communication device is operable with a positional detection software application that identifies relative positions of the master and slave module. The slave module generates a geofence near keyway. The master module transmits a signal defining positional information. The positional information includes the position of master module, relative to the slave module. The positional detection software processes the positional information from the emitted signal. The positional detection software triggers the communication device to actuate an alert when the positional information indicates the master module has exited the geofence of the keyway.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a keyway illumination system with a rack to recharge the device. More so, the present invention relates to a system that enables a keyway to be illuminated when a corresponding key approaches the known WIFI connected through a mobile app from a predetermined distance, so as to enhance viewing the engagement between key and keyway.

Abstract: A keyway illumination system is operable with different keys to enable illumination of a keyway when a matching key approaches to enhance visibility of the keyway. A smart key case detachably couples to the key to provide a gripping surface for applying torque to key, and electrical components to actuate illumination of the keyway. The key case includes a receiver, a power switch, a mode switch, and a PCB motion sensor mechanism that deactivates illumination of the key case when sensing proximity to keyway. A slave module attaches adjacently to the keyway and communicates with the key case. A light torch emits a beam of light onto the keyway. A photoresistor detects presence of light from the key case to determine activation or deactivation of light torch. Verification that the key is engaging a matching keyway is possible by matching LED colors of the key case and slave module.
