  • Portable Temporary Electronic Device Unlocking Device

A temporary unlocking device provides for the user smart device to be temporarily unlocked after the blocker device has locked the user smart device. The user smart device, when disposed within a certain distance of the temporary unlocking device, receives a signal from the temporary unlocking device and determines that the temporary unlocking device is disposed within a certain distance of the user device and that conditions allow for temporary unlocking of the user device. The user device is then temporarily unlocked for a limited duration.
