1. A hub member device, comprising:
- one or more hardware processors;
one or more computer-readable storage media;
computer-readable instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media which, when executed by the one or more hardware processors, implement a system comprising;
a communication interface configured to communicate with other devices; and
a hub manager that is configured to;
generate an electronic key that provides access permissions configurable to enable controlled access to at least one of a building or a vehicle;
selectively enable access to the building or the vehicle based at least on membership in a private data-sharing hub, the other devices including other hub member devices that are enabled for access to the building or the vehicle using the electronic key and other non-member devices that are not enabled for access to the building or the vehicle using the electronic key; and
modify the access permissions of the electronic key,wherein the private data-sharing hub provides hub members with private access to shared content at least one of shared messages, a shared list, a shared calendar, shared images, shared events or shared video and using the hub member device and the other hub member devices.

Abstract
In embodiments of a hub key service, a device includes a communication interface for communication coordination with one or more associated devices of the device, and the associated devices correspond to hub members. A hub manager is implemented to generate an electronic key that includes access permissions, which are configurable to enable controlled access for the hub members, such as to a building, vehicle, media device, or location. The hub manager can then correlate the electronic key with the device to enable access to the building, vehicle, media device, or location with the device utilized as the electronic key.

10. A method, comprising:
-
generating an electronic key having associated access permissions that enable controlled access to at least one of a building or a vehicle; selectively enabling access to the building or the vehicle based at least on membership in a private data-sharing hub, the access being enabled for hub members having associated hub member devices that use the electronic key to access the building or the vehicle; modifying the access permissions of the electronic key to prevent an individual hub member from using an individual hub member device to access the building or the vehicle; and allowing the hub members to use the associated hub member devices to privately share at least one of shared messages, a shared list, a shared calendar, shared images, shared events or shared video with other hub members using the associated hub member devices. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computing device comprising:
-
one or more hardware processors; and one or more computer-readable storage media embodying computer readable instructions which, when executed by the one or more hardware processors, cause the one or more hardware processors to; generate an electronic key having associated access permissions that enable controlled access to at least one of a building or a vehicle; selectively enable access to the building or the vehicle based at least on membership in a private data-sharing hub, the access being enabled for hub members having associated hub member devices that use the electronic key to access to building or the vehicle; communicate the electronic key to the associated hub member devices; and cause the associated hub member devices to privately share at least one of shared messages, a shared list, a shared calendar, shared images, shared events or shared video among the hub members of the private data-sharing hub. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
