Abstract

A method includes establishing communication between a first mobile device and a locking device via a first wireless transceiver of the first mobile device and a second wireless transceiver of the locking device; determining a location of at least one of the first mobile device or the locking device responsive to the communication; receiving, by a server, permission for the guest user to access the locking device using a second mobile device where the permission is provided from an external device prior to the second mobile device interacting with the locking device; generating, by the server, a guest user profile in response to receiving the permission where the guest user profile includes data usable to allow the guest user to lock or unlock the locking device; and transmitting, by the server, the guest user profile to the second mobile device.
