Claim 15:
16. An electronic cam lock system, comprising:
a cylindrical lock body encircled by a rotatable hand grip, wherein the rotatable hand grip is configured to rotate a cam rotatably affixed to the cylindrical lock body;
a scannable media scanner embedded within the cylindrical lock body and at least partially exposed out of a surface of the cylindrical lock body, the scannable media scanner being configured to read scannable media that is external to the cylindrical lock body;
a local storage operatively connected to the cylindrical lock body; and
a processor operatively connected to the cylindrical lock body, the scannable media scanner, and the local storage, the processor being operative to:
receive a plurality of datasets corresponding to a plurality of temporary scannable media files from a remote system, wherein at least one of the temporary scannable media files corresponds to a package expected to be delivered to an address associated with the electronic cam lock system;
store the plurality of datasets in the local storage;
read a particular scannable media file presented at the electronic cam lock system via the scannable media scanner;
extract data from the particular scannable media file and compare the extracted data to the plurality of datasets corresponding to the plurality of temporary scannable media files in the local storage; and
upon determination that the extracted data matches at least one of the plurality of datasets, unlock the cam by enabling rotation of the rotatable hand grip.
