APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR AN ELECTRONIC LOCK, AND METHODS OF USE AND MANUFACTURE THEREOF
First Claim
1. An electronic lock for controlling a lock mechanism, comprising:
- a processor;
a controller coupled to the processor and configured to change a locked/unlocked status of the electronic lock;
a first communication receiver coupled to the processor, the first communication receiver configured to receive information indicating a user proximity event relative to the electronic lock; and
a transceiver coupled to the processor, the transceiver configured to receive data from a remote application over a network,the processor configured to;
define a geofencing boundary around the electronic lock,transmit the geofencing boundary information to the remote application over the network;
receive data from the remote application over the network indicating a geofencing entry or exit event; and
transmit an unlock command to the controller if;
a) the first communication receiver receives information of the proximity event indicating the user'"'"'s location within a predetermined distance of the electronic lock, andb) the processor receives data indicating the geofencing entry event occurred within a first predetermined prior time frame.

Abstract
An electronic lock for controlling a lock mechanism includes a processor, a controller coupled to the processor and configured to change a locked/unlocked status of the electronic lock, a first communication receiver configured to receive information indicating a user proximity event relative to the electronic lock, and a transceiver coupled to the processor, the transceiver configured to receive data from a remote application over a network. The processor can be configured to define a geofencing boundary around the electronic lock, transmit the geofencing boundary information to the remote application over the network, receive data from the remote application over the network indicating a geofencing entry or exit event, and transmit an unlock command to the controller if a user'"'"'s location is within a predetermined distance of the electronic lock and a user geofencing entry event occurred within a first predetermined prior time frame.

10. A computer-implemented method for controlling an electronic lock, comprising:
under one or more computer systems configured with executable instructions, defining a geofencing boundary around the electronic lock; receiving data from an application indicating a user geofencing entry event; receiving configuration data including a locked/unlocked status of an electronic lock; receiving information from the electronic lock indicating a user proximity event relative to the electronic lock; transmitting, by the one or more computer systems, an unlock command to electronic lock if; a) the information indicating the proximity event indicates the user'"'"'s location within a predetermined distance of the electronic lock, and b) the geofencing entry event occurred within a first predetermined prior time frame. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
