Patent number: 12276494Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of replicating or copying keys. More specifically, the present invention relates to creating a copy of a master key based on a captured image of the master key by using a laser scanning of the master key and decoding the master key based on the captured image. The present invention identifies a set of target key information based on the image of the master key to provide for the cutting of a duplicate key blade copy using a key scanning and cutting system located at a retail or end location. Additional key information may also be captured along with the image of the master key.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2024Date of Patent: April 15, 2025Assignee: IKEYLESS, LLCInventors: Douglas Robertson, Adam Pizer, David Horsfall, Ian Simon Smith
