Managing access to secure indoor spaces

This invention describes a smart home system that lets an owner grant temporary, controlled access to visitors like delivery services. An intermediary device in the home generates a digital key for the visitor, who then uses it to unlock specific doors upon arrival. The system also records the visitor's actions with a camera and can send updates to the owner's mobile device.

Why it matters: Filed before advanced AI vision systems were widely available. The claims' focus on capturing and interpreting visitor actions is now much easier to automate and make intelligent.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware system, custom electronics integration, security
