Serialized lock combination retrieval systems and methods
First Claim
1. A method for facilitating retrieval of combination codes for serialized combination locks from a serialized lock computer system, each of the plurality of combination locks having a serial code and a combination code associated therewith, the method comprising:
- linking, by the serialized lock computer system, at least one of a plurality of serial codes with a corresponding combination code;
receiving, at the serialized lock computer system, user identity information from a user computer system;
validating, at the serialized lock computer system, the user identity information, wherein the user identity information is associated with at least one of the combination locks;
receiving, at the serialized lock computer system, a serial code from the user from the user computer system; and
securely transmitting, by the serialized lock computer system, to a user account of a user of the user computer system, a message comprising a combination code associated with at least one of the combination locks.

Abstract
Disclosed are embodiments of systems and methods for retrieving combination lock codes in a secure environment. In some embodiments, each of a plurality of combination locks are linked with a serial code. A user may then enter user identity information into a retrieval system. After the system has validated the user identity information, the user may enter a serial code into the system, the serial code associated with a combination lock for which the user would like to retrieve a corresponding combination code. Upon receipt of the serial code from the user, the system may securely transmit a combination code associated with the desired combination lock to the user. In one embodiment, the secure transmission of the combination code is done by sending an electronic mail message to an electronic mail account of the user.

31. A method for facilitating retrieval of combination codes for serialized combination locks, each of the plurality of combination locks having a serial code and a combination code associated therewith, the method comprising:
-
receiving user identity information from a user; validating the user identity information, wherein the user identity information is associated with at least one of a plurality of combination locks, each of the plurality of combination locks having a serial code and a combination code associated therewith; receiving a serial code from the user; linking the serial code with a corresponding combination code by using an algorithm to generate a combination code from the serial code received from the user; securely transmitting the combination code via electronic mail to the user; and storing audit data regarding the user'"'"'s retrieval of the combination code.
