Definitions
- the subject matter described herein relates generally to wireless lockbox key systems.
- U.S. Patent No. 6,072,402 illustrates a secure entry system including a lock having an integrated RF receiver and a clearing house connected to a database.
- a user who seeks access, communicates via a fixed or mobile phone with the clearing house. If the clearing house determines, by reference to the database, that the user should be authorized to access the lock, the clearinghouse causes a transmission to the lock to be made. This authorization is valid for only a short time such as thirty minutes.
- U.S. Patent No. 6,472,973 describes adding a wireless radio link to a lock box to transfer the data obtained from an access key pad, located on the lock box, to a co-located collector transmitter unit which sends the data to a central site computer.
- the collector-transmitter unit is installed in the lock box to intercept the exchange of information between the keypad and the lock box and transmit this data by radio to a nearby receiver unit.
- EP 1562153 discloses a door access control system.
- US 5815557 discloses a key for an electronic real estate lockbox system.
- an access system is provided as claimed in claim 1.
- the at least one key will de-authorize itself until primary wireless communication access is re-established.

- the CPU 72 may function, to, among other things, receive instructions from a particular key 14 via the receiver 70 and, in response thereto, energize a particular lock mechanism 66 for access by an operator as described above.
- the CPU 72 is connected in circuit with a memory device 78 that is similar, and performs a similar function, to the memory device 62 described above.
- a particular lock 16 comprises a lock box that is located at an opening of a building (not shown) that is available for sale. Access to the building may be granted by virtue of the owner giving the listing real estate agent the physical key to the house. Any agent authorized to show houses in the listing board's area has an assigned key 26, and can access the house. The agent's authorization status is communicated to the computer 12 for entry into the database 18.
