1. A method comprising:
- detecting, by an accelerometer, an acceleration associated with displacement of a portion of a locking device;
transmitting, by the accelerometer, an indication of the acceleration to a processor communicably coupled to the accelerometer;
initiating, by the processor, transmission of a message to a device remote from the locking device, said message providing information regarding the acceleration associated with the displacement and said transmission being by a transceiver associated with the locking device and communicably coupled to the processor.

Abstract
Electronic locking devices, systems, and methods may employ an accelerometer to detect an acceleration associated with displacement of a portion of an electronic locking device, for example, displacement of a housing that includes a display of the electronic locking device. Responsive to such an acceleration being detected, a message is transmitted to a device remote from the locking device. The message may include a photograph and or audio signal. Concurrently with the transmission of the message, a greeting may be played and/or displayed.
