Abrégé

The current document is directed to an improved, remotely controlled, internally powered electronic padlock with enhanced security features that, when mechanically compromised, automatically generate alarms. The improved padlock can be opened via a key card placed in proximity to the improved padlock and can additionally be opened in response to receiving a command from a remote controller via network communications. A remote controller can configure the improved padlock, update the configuration of the improved padlock, unlock the improved padlock, and query the state of the improved padlock. A rotating switch, in combination with a translating latch plate and control logic implemented by stored microprocessor instructions and a microprocessor, detects various types of mechanical compromise and initiates generation of an audible alarm.

Abrégé

The current document is directed to methods and systems that migrate traditional control systems used to manage and administer physical infrastructure, including retail establishments, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, offices, hospitals and medical clinics, and other physical infrastructure, to cloud-computing facilities. The approach to controlling physical infrastructure disclosed in the current document is not simply an extension of traditional control systems to access and use cloud-computing facilities, but instead represents the migration of physical infrastructure into cloud-computing facilities, resulting in elimination of the need for local computers and computer-implemented control systems from the physical infrastructure and a complete abstraction and virtualization of the hardware systems within the physical infrastructure. In the currently disclosed approach, complex management logic, including policy-based and rules-based management logic as well as programmed management logic, is fully migrated from physical infrastructure to cloud-computing facilities, providing greater reliability, independence from physical infrastructure systems and components, and a centralized cloud-resident infrastructure model that can be accessed and manipulated, in cloud-computing facilities, by a wide variety of different types of applications, including management applications, visualization applications, inventory-controlled applications, and security applications. This approach provides far greater freedom in design and implementation of both control systems as well as physical hardware systems, greatly accelerates the rates at which control systems and physical hardware systems can be improved, and also provides a conceptual-framework basis for rapid technological evolution of physical-infrastructure control systems.

Methods and systems that selectively controls whether a battery is electronically connected to or disconnected from operational circuitry of an electronic device are described. The switching circuitry electronically connects the battery with operational circuitry in response to external electric power being available to the operational circuitry, thereby allowing the battery to be available as a backup source of electrical power for the operational circuitry when external electric power is lost. Methods and systems also electronically disconnect the battery from the operational circuitry in response to a loss of external electric power to the operational circuitry. As a result, undesirable battery drainage is avoided if the device is left in storage or is not being used for an extended period of time.
