  • Patent number: 11854328
    Abstract: An access management system includes a mobile device with a processor and a memory and a software platform including at least a processor and a memory. The software platform is configured to analyze data obtained from the mobile device and other devices connected to the software platform. Specifically, the software platform is operable to determine if an access key received, read, or captured by a mobile device matches an access key for an authorized account, object, device, or space for the mobile device, and to provide access to the mobile device if the access key received, read, or captured by the mobile device matches the authorized access key.

  • Patent number: 11790713
    Abstract: An artificial intelligence entry management device for an entry and delivery system includes a camera, a microphone, a motion detector, a speaker, and a housing. The housing has an oval shape with a substantially open middle. The substantially open middle has a housing protrusion portion configured to house the camera, the microphone, the motion detector, and the speaker. The entry and delivery system may also include one or more robots that interface with the entry management device to monitor an area around an access point and to alert the user of activity. A robot may be an aerial robot that has a camera, a robot light, a speaker, a microphone and an actuator to enable picking and moving a package. Aerial robots may be configured around a perimeter of a building to monitor the building and may turn on a robot light when motion is detected.
