Abstract
A system, apparatus and method utilize a micro electronic device implanted in a person or group of persons, or wearable thereby, to manage a variety of activities, including unlocking a locked device. The method includes the steps of providing an RF microdevice having an electronic identification code and attaching the microdevice to a person. An RF lock system is provided to the subject locked device, including an electronically powered lock, an RF reader and a processor. The user brings the microdevice near the reader, whereby the reader communicates with the microdevice via RF signals, and the reader signals the processor to corroborate the identification code. If the processor corroborates the identification code, the processor signals the powered lock to actuate and unlock. If the processor does not corroborate the identification code, the powered lock remains unactuated and locked.
