Abstract
Description
- Renting or buying a place to live can be a time consuming endeavor. Available properties are advertised, for example, by signs on or near the property, advertisements in printed media, in radio or in television, posting on internet sites and so on.
- Renters and buyers often consider a number of criteria when selecting a place such as location, price, square footage of inhabitable area, number of bedrooms or bathrooms, condition of property and so on. A renter or buyer of a property often desires to make a detailed personal inspection of a property before making a decision to rent or purchase.
- Viewing properties can be time consuming. Often times it requires making arrangement with one or more of a listing agent, a property manager, a landlord, an owner and so on. Because of conflicting schedules, it may take a while before some one with access to the property can meet the prospective buyer or renter at the property and conduct a tour. When there are many properties to be inspected, this can be an onerous burden on the time of the prospective purchaser or renter. It can also be an onerous burden on the listing agent, property manager, or etc. when multiple showings are required to obtain a rental or a purchase.

List ofproperties 17, for example, is a part of a database that stores information on properties such as visit logs and so on. -
Automated entry module 16 allows a user to search throughproperty list 17 in order to find properties to search. One of the properties inproperty list 17 for which automated entry is enabled is represented inFIG. 1 by aproperty 14. Information stored withinproperty list 17, can be utilized byautomated entry module 16 to allow a user ofportable device 12 automated entry toproperty 14. - For example, a
lock box 15 is shown inFIG. 1 representing one of the waysautomated entry module 16 allows a user ofportable device 12 to accessproperty 14. For example,lock box 15 contains a key that will open a door allowing entry toproperty 14. To openlock box 15,automated entry module 16 can for example, depending upon various implementations oflock box 15, provide the user with a code to openlock box 15, provideportable device 12 with a signal to open lock box, provideportable device 12 with a pattern to display for optical scanning bylock box 15. - Alternatively,
automated entry module 16 can allow a user ofportable device 12 to accessproperty 14 in other ways. For example,automated entry module 16 can provide instructions or codes to the user ofportable device 12 to enable the user ofportable device 12 to open a lock to allow access toproperty 14. Alternatively,portable device 12 can function as a key to openlock box 15, or a door or entry way ofproperty 14. For example,portable device 15 transmits a signal using an appropriate protocol and radio signal (e.g., RHO signal or other near field communication) to directlockbox 15 or a door onproperty 14 to be opened. Alternatively,portable device 12 can display a pattern for an optical reader associated with a property door. - As will be additionally described below,
portable device 12 can receive the ability to accessproperty 14 at any suitable time, including, for example, upon checking-in remotely. In this scenario, the entry information can be securely transmitted toportable device 12 through, for example,network 10, which in this case includes, for example, a secure wireless network. The ability to utilizeportable device 12 to gain access toproperty 14 allows a prospective buyer orrenter using device 12 to gain access toproperty 14 without the requirement of an appointment with a listing agent, broker, a landlord, property owner, property manager, or some other keeper ofproperty 14. -
FIG. 2 is an example of a display ofportable device 12 illustrating the ability ofportable device 12 to accessproperty list 17 so that a user of portable device can search for properties to purchase or to rent. - For example, within a
display 40 ofportable device 12, search fields allow a user to specify search criteria for searching through list ofproperties 17. The representative search fields shown inFIG. 2 include aneighborhood search field 41, a number ofbedrooms search field 42, a number ofbathrooms search field 43, abudget search field 44 and apet search field 45. These search fields are exemplary, as other search fields such as square footage, information on available parking, number of stories and so on can be included in addition to or instead of the search fields shown inFIG. 2 . - In
FIG. 2 , the search fields receive user input by way of pull down selection menus, illustrated inFIG. 2 by an arrow being included within each search field. Other methods, such as text boxes, check boxes and so on can be used to receive search criteria information from a user. - Based on search criteria received from the user of
portable device 12,portable device 12 can display search results. For example, the search criteria are sent via a database query to server 11. For example, only the properties meeting the input criteria and which are available for automated tour at the time of the search are returned as search results. For example, if list ofproperties 17 is withinportable device 12, this list may be searched without accessing a server. An example of returned search results is provided inFIG. 3 . -
FIG. 3 shows, for example, pictures for five properties displayed ondisplay 40 ofportable device 12. Each of aproperty picture 51, aproperty picture 52, aproperty picture 53, aproperty picture 54 and aproperty picture 55 is accompanied by additional information on the property as well as an arrow that allows additional detail to be accessed. For example, the number of prospective renters who have already viewed each displayed property and the number of renters who have applied to rent eachproperty 14 are included in the additional information.FIG. 3 is only an example of search results format. Other search results format known in the art can be used based on implementation requirements, display size and so on. -
FIG. 4 shows a simplified version of a display that appears when an arrow associated withpicture 53 is selected. Additional information on that property is displayed. For example, abigger picture 65 of the property is shown and/or a series of pictures of the property are available.FIG. 4 is only an example of information that can be displayed about the property. Many other types of information can be displayed. For example, the information may include listing information provided by listing agents, property managers, landlords and so on. The information may be associated with one or more databases that are further associated with one or more servers or can include information previously downloaded toportable device 12. The information can include preset times and methods for touring one or more vacancies. - The user of
portable device 12 can select abutton 62 to access a summary of the property. The user ofportable device 12 can select abutton 63 to access a description of the property. The user ofportable device 12 can select abutton 64 to access a map showing a location of the property. The user ofportable device 12 can select abutton 61 to go back to the previous screen shown inFIG. 3 . To take a tour of the property, including obtaining physical access to the property, a user of portable device can select a start tour nowbutton 66. -
FIG. 5 shows a simplified version of a display that appears when the user ofportable device 12 selects start tour nowbutton 66. From the menu displayed inFIG. 5 , the user ofportable device 12 can return to the previously displayed menu by selecting aback button 71. To check in, in order to obtain access to the selected property, the user ofportable device 12 can select abutton 72. To call a manager of the selected property, the user ofportable device 12 can select abutton 73. For example, if the user ofportable device 12 has questions, before, during or after viewing the property, the user ofportable device 12 can call a phone number obtained by selectingbutton 73 shown inFIG. 5 . If the property manager, owner or assistant is not available to answer the call, the call will go to voice mail. Records of all voice mail calls are associated with the prospective property stored in a database onserver 11. - To leave a comment to the manager of the selected property, the user of
portable device 12 can select abutton 74 The ability to leave comments allows the user ofportable device 12 to provide feedback to listing agents, property managers, landlords, etc. about their experience visiting the selected property. - For example, upon selecting
button 72,portable device 12 notifiesserver 11.Server 11 then immediately sends an entry notification, such as an e-mail, text message or automated voicemail to the property manager and/or owner. For example, the entry notification includes a name and contact information for the user ofportable device 12.Server 11 also, for example, records in a database the entry of the user of portable device. The database keeps a log of user entries, e-mails, texts, voicemails and other contacts for each property, which are accessible by property managers and owners for their property. - To submit an application pertaining to the selected property, the user of
portable device 12 can select abutton 75. A fee associated with the application is shown onbutton 75. To return to a window showing search results, the user ofportable device 12 can select abutton 76. To report a problem, the user ofportable device 12 can select abutton 77. -
FIG. 5 is only an example of a menu for a tour of the property. Other menus with additional and/or alternative features can be implemented onportable device 12 and displayed ondisplay 40. - In some implementations, it is required that a user register before being allowed automated entry to properties. For example,
FIG. 7 shows a registration process required for a user ofportable device 12 to obtain automated entry to properties. - In a
block 21, the registration process is started. In ablock 22, user information is obtained from the user. For example, the user information can include identification information such as name, contact information, current residence, birth date, login identification and password, drivers license and so on. This information can be used, for example, in ablock 23 to verify the user. The verification can be as simple as sending a confirmation e-mail, or can be more complex, including, for example, running a credit check and checking references. In addition to identification information, in ablock 24, payment information is obtained. This payment information can be, for example, credit card information, debit card information, bank information or some other information that will allow payment to be obtained from the user ofportable device 12 when services are rendered. For example, the information obtained from the user is stored inserver 11. - In a
block 25, the information obtained from the user ofportable device 12 is checked to determine if it is sufficient to qualify the user ofportable device 12 as approved for automated access of properties. If so, in ablock 26 the approval is recorded in a database located, for example, inserver 11. In ablock 27, the registration process is completed. This completion of the registration process includes, for example, providing a message to the user ofportable device 12 indicating whether or not the user ofportable device 12 is approved for automated access of properties. -
FIG. 7 illustrates an example of a process to provide automated entry toproperty 14 to the user ofportable device 12. In ablock 31, the user ofportable device 12 selects to view the property. In ablock 32, a check is made to confirm automated entry is available for the selected property. - If automated entry is not available, in a
block 38, the automated entry process is completed. Ending of the automated entry process may include, for example, displaying or making available to the user ofportable device 12 contact information to a landlord, property manager, owner or real estate agent for the selected property. For example, auto-entry may be available only during specified hours (e.g., 8 AM to 6 PM Monday through Saturday). If the prospective buyer or renter requests to view at a time when the property is unavailable for viewing, the renter/buyer will be directed to return when the property is available for viewing. For example, a property manager or owner or other keeper of the property sets viewing hours which are stored inserver 11. - If in
block 32 it is confirmed that automated entry is available for the selected property, in a block 33 a request for payment is made. For example, a small fee may be charged for each entry made using automated entry. This charge can be made or authorized here or later in the automated entry process, or not at all in some implementations. - In a
block 34, a check is made to see whether payment has been made or authorized. Payment may be made, for example, in accordance with payment information received during the registration process illustrated inFIG. 6 . If inblock 34 it is determined that payment has not been made or authorized, inblock 38, the automated entry process is completed. - If in
block 34 it is determined that payment has been made or authorized, in a block 35 a location of the selected property is displayed. For example, the location of the selected property may be displayed along with an indication of the current location ofportable device 12. The location ofportable device 12 can be determined, for example, using a positioning system. The positioning system can include any suitable system such as, for example, a global positioning system (“GPS”), or another type of positioning system that utilizes a suitable triangulation technique to determine geographic coordinates ofportable device 12. For example, such a triangulation technique can determine various measurements (e.g., signal-to-noise ratio (“SNR”) or signal strength measurements) of, for example, a network signal (e.g., a cellular telephone network signal, a wireless network access point or “hot spot,” or any other suitable network signal) associated withportable device 12 to perform triangulation, - In a
block 36, a determination is made as to whether the location ofportable device 12, for example, as determined above, is near to the location of the selected property. Ifportable device 12 is located within a predetermined distance of the selected property, in ablock 37,portable device 12 grants automated access to the property to the user ofportable device 12. The entry can be granted usinglock box 15 or using any other means as described above in the discussion ofFIG. 1 or by some other method such as,portable device 12 transmitting a signal using an appropriate protocol and radio (e.g., Bluetooth signal or other near field communication) to direct a door to be opened, orportable device 12 displaying a pattern for an optical reader associated with a door or simply displaying a code to openlock box 15 containing a key which can be used to unlock a door on the selected property. - For cases where a prospective renter or buyer does not have a smart phone, the property manager or owner or other keeper of the property can still provide for remote entry. For example, a number listed on a for sale or for rent sign can be dialed by the prospective renter or buyer. The property manager or owner or other keeper of the property or an assistant can obtain, for example, identification and credit card information over the phone, log the obtained information in a database for the property and issue a one-time pass code that will allow the prospective renter or buyer access to the properly. In this way, a record of the visit to the property by the renter will be in the database and there is no need for the property manager or owner or other keeper of the property to travel to the property to let the prospective renter or buyer in to see the property.
- For example, data and/or statistics about user of
portable device 12 are collected by automated entry module and stored either locally onportable device 12 or remotely onserver 11 or some other electronic device. Such data and statistics can include information such as the date and time the user ofportable device 12 entered a property, the amount of time spent at the property, the amount of time required to process a rental application and so on. This provides listing agents, property managers, landlords, etc. with indications about why particular properties aren't being rented or sold. This also allows owners and property managers, etc., to accumulate detailed statistics on property activity such as, how many views, how many interests (click visit), how many unlocks and so on. - In one implementation, a property owner or manager or other keeper of the property can generate a one-time entry code manually in the portal. This is useful, for example, when after speaking with a potential renter over the phone, the property owner or manager or other keeper of the property desires to let the potential renter view the home without expending time and gas on a physical trip to the property.
- The layers used—e.g., registration, gps, one time code, etc—allow for screening and increased security for the process by which prospective renters and buyers view properties.
- For example, once a potential renter or buyer has selected a property to tour, additional nearby properties also available to tour may be presented to the user. In this case, it would not be necessary for a potential renter or buyer to begin the search process again in order to tour additional nearby properties.
- For example,
automated entry module 16 may be embodied in a computer program product that includes a non-transitory machine readable and/or usable medium. For example, such a computer usable medium may consist of a read-only memory device, such as a CD ROM disk or conventional ROM device, or a random access memory, such as a hard drive device or a computer diskette, or flash memory device having a computer readable program code stored thereon. - In the system shown in
FIG. 1 , a sticker may be placed on a sign to identify a property. For example, the sticker includes a bar code or some other encoded or unencoded indicium that is an identifier of the property. Alternately, for example, the sticker is not present but the Identifier is placed directly on the sign. - For example, when
portable device 12 is equipped with a scanner, the sticker can be scanned to obtain the identifier. Alternately, the identifier can be obtained from the sticker by some other means. For example, the identifier could be a number that a user ofportable device 12 reads and manually enters intoportable device 12. - A query to a list of
properties 17, stored, for example, inserver 11 orportable device 12, can be used to obtain property detail, such as the additional information disclosed in the display shown inFIG. 4 . For example, to take a tour of the property, including obtaining physical access to the property, a user of portable device can select a start tour nowbutton 66, shown inFIG. 4 . This allows a user ofportable device 12 to instantly obtain information about a property, and instant access to the property, all from scanning an identifier on a sign located on the property. - For example, the sticker can include an identifier that is associated with
lock box 15, so that the sign (or a new sign with the sticker) andlock box 15 can simultaneously be easily moved together to a new property with minimal reconfiguration. - The foregoing discussion discloses and describes merely exemplary methods and implementations. As will be understood by those familiar with the art, the disclosed subject matter may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or characteristics thereof. Accordingly, the present disclosure is intended to be illustrative, but not limiting, of the scope of the invention, which is set forth in the following claims.
