Abstract
A locking mechanism that is electronically managed or Hosted at a remote central location via the Internet or wireless communication network with conditional code validations. The remote management interface software resides on Host computer servers, which are in turn accessed and managed by Users through a common browser interface via the Internet or a wireless communication network via a wireless mobile device. The remote Host software provides a variety of robust options for the user of the local access point, to program multiple access codes with varying conditions of time, date and use occurrence limitations. Additionally, the Host software provides information, distributes codes, tracks and reports usage at the respective local access points. The Host interfaces with each unique local electronic locking mechanism at the respective local access location either via a web enabled device or a common PC based Internet browser or wireless mobile device.
