Aspects of the invention are directed towards a system and a method for determining a service time for providing a service to a room based on an availability of a user in the room. One or more embodiments of the invention describe the method comprising steps of receiving audits associated with a lock of a room. One or more embodiments of the invention further describe determining if a user of the room has opted for a user privacy service and analyzing the audits if the user has opted for the user privacy service. Furthermore, the embodiments of the invention also describe determining an availability of the user in the room based on analysis of the audits and determining a service time for providing a service to the room based on the availability of the user in the room.

Methods and systems to determine a service time for providing a service

A lock box includes: a chassis; a lower housing solenoid attached to the chassis; a removable lower housing removably connected to the chassis through the lower housing solenoid; and a battery holder configured to removably secure a primary battery within the battery holder, such that the primary battery is configured to move with the removable lower housing, the primary battery being configured to provide electricity to the lower housing solenoid.

System and method to power a lockbox

A method for monitoring and controlling a cleanliness of a space including: monitoring a distance of one or more individuals relative to an object within the space using a space monitoring system; determining when the distance is less than a selected distance; determining a number of the one or more individuals within the selected distance of object; determining a duration that the one or more individuals are within the selected distance of the object; and determining that the object requires a cleaning when at least one of: the number of the one or more individuals within the selected distance of object exceeds a threshold number, or the duration that the one or more individuals are within the selected distance of the object exceeds a threshold time.

Method and system to analyze spaces for cleaning based on the presence of an individual

A method of staging a listed property for a real-estate showing including: receiving authorization information to access and control one or more internet of things (IoT) connected devices at the listed property from a first person via a first computer application accessed through a seller computing device; receiving showing settings and timing settings for each of the one or more IoT connected devices; and adjusting each of one or more IoT connected devices for the real-estate showing in accordance with the showing settings and the timing settings.

Method to operate the devices for real estate showings

An illustrative example embodiment of a locking device includes a lock that selectively allows access to an area when the lock is unlocked. A processor is configured to control whether the lock is locked or unlocked. A transceiver is configured to communicate with a communication hub that is remote from the locking device. The processor is configured to cause the transceiver to provide an indication to the communication hub when the lock has been unlocked. The indication includes an instruction that the communication hub should begin monitoring a condition of at least one preselected item within the area.

Monitoring items in an area accessible through an electronic locking device

Systems and methods for keybox status determination are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system for determining a status of a keycontainer of a lockbox comprises one or more sensors configured to generate output signals related to the keycontainer. The system further comprises at least one processor operatively connected with the one or more sensors, and memory storing instructions executable by the at least one processor. The instructions when executed cause the system to: determine, using the output signals from the one or more sensors, a status of the keycontainer, the status indicating whether the keycontainer is released from the keybox; and send a status notification based on the determined status of the keycontainer.

Systems and methods for keybox status determination

A system and method for identifying a lock box, including a lock box corresponding to a property, the lock box having a communication module embedded therein for wirelessly receiving, storing and communicating identifying information associated with at least one of the lock box and the property, and for controlling access to the property by providing a mechanical or electronic key to a user; a mobile device configured to receive at least one of the identifying information and an image representative of the identifying information, when the lock box and the mobile device are at a distance to communicate by one of Bluetooth®, infrared, NFC, Wi-Fi, Zigbee® and radio signals; and a server configured to communicate with at least one of the mobile device and the lock box.

System and method of device identification

Aspects of the invention are directed towards methods and systems for managing access of an application. One or more embodiments of the invention describe receiving an indication from a user to access an application. One or more embodiments of the invention further describe determining whether a user device is in an offline mode and if the user device is in the offline mode, prompting the user to input user credentials. Furthermore, the embodiments of the invention also describe receiving the user credentials from the user and validating the user credentials of the user with pre-stored user credentials. Accordingly, access of the application to the user is controlled based on said validation.

Methods and systems for managing access of an application

An access control device and a method for operating an access control device are provided. The access control device includes a detection sensor, a communication module, and a processor. The detection sensor is configured to detect a status event (e.g., a rotation of a handle, or an insertion or closure of a keybox). The communication module is in wireless communication with a mobile device. The communication module is configured to receive an advertising signal from the mobile device. The processor is in communication with at least one of the detection sensor and the communication module. The processor is configured to determine whether a distance between the mobile device and the access control device is greater than a threshold when the detection sensor detects the status event. The processor is configured to trigger a notification when the distance is greater than the threshold.

Mobile device notification via access control device

An access control system including a building management system in communication with a wireless device, a smart lighting system and a locking device, wherein the building management system communicates and assigns a lighting attribute to at least one of the wireless device, the smart lighting system and the locking device; and method for providing visually aided access to a building location including: assigning a lighting attribute by a building management system to a user; communicating the lighting attribute from the building management system to a wireless device of the user; displaying the lighting attribute on the wireless device; communicating the lighting attribute to a smart lighting system in communication with the building management system, to display the lighting attribute; and terminating the lighting attribute when a locking device in communication with the building management system has been opened by the user.

System and method for visually aided access control

A system and method for executing and recording transactions for a key in a blockchain. A method includes creating a smart contract on receiving a request to order a key on lease for a first period of time. The method further includes determining an availability of the key and determining an availability of digital tokens in an account of the user. The method also includes executing the smart contract for the first period of time by executing a first transaction using the digital tokens and recording the executed first transaction and the executed smart contract in a block of a block chain to provide the key on lease.
