Systems and methods for dynamically delivering access credentials for locking systems

This invention describes a system that automatically gives you access to smart locks based on your location. When your phone enters a specific geographic area around a smart lock, the system sends the digital key for that lock to your phone. Once you leave that area, the key is automatically removed. The claims narrow this to a version where the geographic area is a circle around your current location.

Why it matters: The core technologies for this system, such as geofencing, smart locks, and mobile connectivity, were already mature in 2024. The main challenge remains the secure and standardized integration across diverse smart lock ecosystems and addressing user privacy concerns related to continuous location tracking.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedHeavy software system, mobile app, lock integration.
