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.

Methods of decreasing the elevator wait time by integrating with calendar server

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.

Access control system with sensor

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.

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.

Method and system for changing the premises

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

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.
