Abstract

A method of providing real estate access control includes receiving a voice input at a voice assistant unit; sending the voice input from the voice assistant unit to a language processing system; at the language processing system, processing the voice input to define a message; sending the message from the language processing system to a locking device management system; at the locking device management system, processing the message as one of a command to a locking device and a query regarding the locking device.

Claims (52)

1. A method of providing real estate access control, the method comprising:

receiving a voice input at a voice assistant unit;

sending the voice input from the voice assistant unit to a language processing system;

at the language processing system, processing the voice input to define a message;

sending the message from the language processing system to a locking device management system;

at the locking device management system, processing the message as one of a command to a locking device and a query regarding the locking device;

wherein when the message is the command to the locking device, the locking device management system generating a credential including programming for the locking device;

the locking device management system sending the credential to a mobile device;

the mobile device transferring the credential to the locking device;

the mobile device sending an acknowledgment of programming of the credential by the locking device to the locking device management system.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

the locking device management system sending the acknowledgment of programming of the credential by the locking device to the language processing system.

3. The method of claim 2 further comprising:

the language processing system sending the acknowledgment of programming of the credential by the locking device to the voice assistant unit.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein:

when the message is the query regarding the locking device, the locking device management system accessing a locking device information database;

the locking device management system generating a query response in response to accessing the locking device information database.

5. A method of providing real estate access control, the method comprising:

receiving a voice input at a voice assistant unit;

sending the voice input from the voice assistant unit to a language processing system;

at the language processing system, processing the voice input to define a message;

sending the message from the language processing system to a locking device management system;

at the locking device management system, processing the message as one of a command to a locking device and a query regarding the locking device;

wherein when the message is the query regarding the locking device, the locking device management system accessing a locking device information database;

the locking device management system generating a query response in response to accessing the locking device information database;

the locking device management system sending the query response to the language processing system.

6. The method of claim 5 further comprising:

the language processing system sending the query response to the voice assistant unit.

7. A system of providing real estate access control, the system comprising:

a language processing system configured to receive a voice input from a voice assistant unit;

the language processing system configured to process the voice input to define a message;

a locking device management system configured to receive the message from the language processing system;

the locking device management system configured to process the message as one of a command to a locking device and a query regarding the locking device;

wherein when the message is the command to the locking device, the locking device management system generating a credential including programming for the locking device;

the locking device management system sending the credential to a mobile device;

the mobile device transferring the credential to the locking device;

the mobile device sending an acknowledgment of programming of the credential by the locking device to the locking device management system.

8. The system of claim 7 further comprising:

the locking device management system sending the acknowledgment of programming of the credential by the locking device to the language processing system.

9. The system of claim 8 further comprising:

the language processing system sending the acknowledgment of programming of the credential by the locking device to the voice assistant unit.

10. The system of claim 7 wherein:

when the message is the query regarding the locking device, the locking device management system accessing a locking device information database;

the locking device management system generating a query response in response to accessing the locking device information database.

11. A system of providing real estate access control, the system comprising:

a language processing system configured to receive a voice input from a voice assistant unit;

the language processing system configured to process the voice input to define a message;

a locking device management system configured to receive the message from the language processing system;

the locking device management system configured to process the message as one of a command to a locking device and a query regarding the locking device;

wherein when the message is the query regarding the locking device, the locking device management system accessing a locking device information database;

the locking device management system generating a query response in response to accessing the locking device information database;

the locking device management system sending the query response to the language processing system.
