Wirelessly-controlled fingerprint locking device and method of use
View Patent ↗A wirelessly-controlled fingerprint protected container containing a fingerprint scanner, a micro-computer, and a lock where the user can either unlock the device through the fingerprint scanner or platform (application) on the mobile device. The container can be shared with additional users by the owner sending an authorization code to another user via a smart device, and the second user can then wirelessly register his or her fingerprints and then unlock the container.
1. A wirelessly-controlled fingerprint locking system, comprising:
a container having a lid secured to a body;
an electronic lock configured to lock the lid to the body, the electronic lock having:
a fingerprint scanner; and
a computing device configured to wirelessly communicate with one or more computing devices, the computing device having:
a geospatial tracking system to provide a location of the container to the one or more computing devices;
a first mobile computing device having a first platform configured to allow a first user to grant access to a second user;
a second mobile computing device wirelessly connected to the first mobile device and the electronic lock, the second mobile computing device having a second platform;
the first platform allows the first user to invite the second user to register with the computing device of the container;
the second platform registering the second user with the computing device of the container such that the registration allows for the second user to unlock the electronic lock through one of a proximity to the computing device as determined by the geospatial tracking system or a second user fingerprint;
wherein the electronic lock is configured to be unlocked via one or more fingerprints; and
wherein the electronic lock is configured to unlock via the first mobile device and the second mobile device as the first mobile device and the second mobile device is within a predetermined proximity to the container.
2. The device in claim 1 , wherein the container is comprised of plastic.
3. A method of unlocking a box, the method comprising the locking system of claim 1 ;
transmitting the geolocation of the second device to the first mobile device via the geospatial tracking system; and
locking the electronic lock to secure one or more items within the container.
4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
placing a finger on the fingerprint scanner, thereby unlocking the electronic lock.
5. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
sending a digital code to the computing device via one of the one or more second computing devices;
wherein the digital code unlocks the container.
6. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
sending a digital code to a second user via the one or more second computing devices;
wherein the digital code is configured to be wirelessly transmitted to the electronic lock to unlock the electronic lock.
