20090167488 | GPS ENABLED KEY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable media are provided for acquisition of a lockbox position. For example, in one embodiment a method is provided which receives positional data for a lockbox. After receiving the lockbox, when the lockbox is associated with one listing, the method determines proximity of the positional data to that one listing. If however, there is more than one listing within a predetermined distance of the positional data, the method compares the positional data with each listing in the plurality of listings. Thereafter, the method transmits a query, which includes at least, a result of the comparison. Embodiments of the invention also include other methods, computer-readable media, apparatuses, and systems that contain features similar to the features in the above described method. | 07-02-2009 |
20090167526 | LOCKBOX TAMPER DETECTION - A lockbox can comprise one or more sensors for detecting tampering with one or more portions of the lockbox.
