Definitions

  • the subject matter described herein relates generally to wireless lockbox key systems.
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,072,402 illustrates a secure entry system including a lock having an integrated RF receiver and a clearing house connected to a database.
  • a user who seeks access, communicates via a fixed or mobile phone with the clearing house. If the clearing house determines, by reference to the database, that the user should be authorized to access the lock, the clearinghouse causes a transmission to the lock to be made. This authorization is valid for only a short time such as thirty minutes.
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,472,973 describes adding a wireless radio link to a lock box to transfer the data obtained from an access key pad, located on the lock box, to a co-located collector transmitter unit which sends the data to a central site computer.
  • the collector-transmitter unit is installed in the lock box to intercept the exchange of information between the keypad and the lock box and transmit this data by radio to a nearby receiver unit.
  • EP 1562153 discloses a door access control system.
  • US 5815557 discloses a key for an electronic real estate lockbox system.
  • an access system is provided as claimed in claim 1.
  • the at least one key will de-authorize itself until primary wireless communication access is re-established.
  • a wireless lockbox key system comprises a plurality of locks, each configured to receive instructions and to energize a lock mechanism to unlock the lock, and a computer disposed at a remote location from the at least one lock and configured to communicate over a primary wireless communication path.
  • the wireless lockbox key system also comprises a plurality of keys configured to communicate over the primary wireless communication path with the computer and to communicate with each of the locks over a secondary wireless path.
  • the keys are configured to send and receive authorization/deauthorization instructions and usage data to and from the computer and wherein each of the keys are also configured to send a predefined text message for receipt by the computer.
  • the computer may also be configured to receive the predefined text message and to communicate the predefined message to at least one selected key.

  • One embodiment of the present invention concerns a device and a method for providing security that is less cumbersome and easier to use relative to current systems. For example, rather than requiring that authorization be obtained prior to gaining access, in this embodiment, authorization for a key to access a building or an entryway is set as valid unless the key is instructed otherwise, or the key has not detected proper access to the primary wireless communications path for the some previously set time frame. In this case, the key will de-authorize itself until primary wireless communication access is re-established.
  • a secured system comprises a computer, a key configured to communicate with the computer and a lock that is configured to receive instructions from the key.
