Systems, devices and methods for controlling access to a secure space

Abstract

Systems, devices, and methods for controlling access to a secure space are disclosed. The system includes a locking device fastenable to an access point of the secure space, a server, and a network for communication between the locking device and server. The server includes a storage unit to store authorization data for the locking device and the user computing device, and a processing unit for receiving a request from the user computing device to access the locking device; authenticating the user computing device; generating authorization data; and providing at least part of the authorization data to each of the locking device and the user computing device. The locking device includes an actuator, a memory, and a processing unit for receiving a security command from the user computing device; determining whether the security command includes requesting data that corresponds to the authorization data; and generating a control signal for the actuator to move the locking device based on the security command.

1 - 20 . (canceled) 
     
     
         21 . A locking device comprising:
 a body including: 
 a rotatable locking cam having a locked paddle and an unlocked paddle, the rotatable locking cam being rotatable between a locked position and an unlocked position; 
 a locking pin; and 
 a power supply for supplying electrical power to circuit components of the locking device; and 
   a shackle having two arms insertable into the body, one of the two arms having a groove in a bottom portion thereof configured to engage with the locking pin when the rotatable locking cam is in the locked position and the shackle is in a closed position;   wherein the locking device is configured to detect a position of one or more of the rotatable locking cam, the locking pin and the shackle.   
     
     
         22 . (canceled) 
     
     
         23 . The locking device of  claim 21 , wherein the locking pin is configured to fall out of the groove of the shackle upon the shackle moving upwardly relative to the locking pin. 
     
     
         24 . The locking device of  claim 21 , wherein the body includes one or more switches configured to indicate if the shackle is in an open or the closed position. 
     
     
         25 . The locking device of  claim 24 , wherein the body includes two switches, one positioned at either end of the shackle to indicate if the shackle is in the open or the closed position. 
     
     
         26 . The locking device of  claim 25 , wherein the switches are two stage switches. 
     
     
         27 . The locking device of  claim 21 , wherein the shackle further includes a raceway configured to provide for the shackle to be removed from the body. 
     
     
         28 . The locking device of  claim 21 , wherein each of the unlocked paddle and the locked paddle extend from the rotatable locking cam towards a same arm of the shackle. 
     
     
         29 . The locking device of  claim 21 , wherein the locked paddle is positioned vertically above the unlocked paddle. 
     
     
         30 . The locking device of  claim 21 , wherein the rotatable locking cam is configured to rotate in a first direction to move the locking device from a locked state to an unlocked state and a second direction to move the locking device from an unlocked state to a locked state.
