Managing in-person access to physical properties based on geofencing
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11954650B2) discloses a computer-implemented method for managing scheduled temporary access to a physical property by a group of users. The method involves receiving information about the scheduled access, monitoring the locations of users' mobile devices using GPS data, and determining if all users are within the defined proximity to the property. Access information, including access codes, is provided to users to unlock the physical locking mechanism. The method also includes tracking users' movements on the property, analyzing data from tracking devices, and initiating corrective actions in case of unauthorized access to restricted areas.
Furthermore, the patent describes a system comprising hardware processors and memories with stored instructions to perform automated operations related to managing scheduled temporary access to a physical property. The system tracks users' locations using beacon transmission devices, analyzes movement patterns, and provides information about users' activities during the scheduled access. Additionally, the system can initiate further automated activities to address unauthorized access and provide aggregate information about users' activities. The system is designed to enhance security and monitoring capabilities for temporary access to physical properties, ensuring compliance with access criteria and preventing unauthorized entry into restricted areas.
