Method and system for setting entry codes via a communications network for access to moveable enclosures
First Claim
1. A security system for controlling access to a moveable enclosure, comprising:
- a lock on the moveable enclosure;
a control circuit coupled to the lock and configured to i) receive an entry code and ii) open the lock in response to receipt of the entry code;
a Global Positioning System device coupled to the control circuit and configured to generate latitude and longitude data relating to the moveable enclosure; and
a personal computing device wirelessly coupleable to the control circuit and configured to generate the entry code using GPS latitude and longitude data.

Abstract
A system and method for controlling access to a moveable enclosure are provided. The system includes a lock on the moveable enclosure, a control circuit coupled to the lock and configured to i) receive an entry code and ii) open the lock in response to receipt of the entry code, a time measurement device and/or Global Positioning System device coupled to the control circuit and configured to generate time and position data, such as latitude and longitude data, relating to the moveable enclosure; and a personal computing device wirelessly coupleable to the control circuit and configured to generate the entry code using the latitude and longitude data. The entry code may be erased after a single use. The validity of entry code may depend upon the time of its entry and the physical location of the moveable enclosure.

7. A method of controlling access to a moveable enclosure, the method comprising the steps of:
-
locking the moveable enclosure using a digital remote control lock;
connecting a control circuit to the lock, the control circuit being configured to open the lock upon entry of a valid entry code by a user;
determining geographical location data about a physical location of the moveable enclosure using a GPS sensor;
generating an entry code using GPS data; and
communicating the entry code to the control circuit. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
