Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided herein for securing merchandise. In one embodiment an apparatus for securing merchandise comprises a locking mechanism limiting access to one or more items, one or more optical sensors configured to detect a plurality of wavelengths and an intensity associated with each wavelength from at least one light beam emitted by an optical key, and a control device comprising a control circuit and a memory device. The control device being configured to store a lock code comprising a plurality of wavelength values and a plurality of intensity values each associated with a wavelength value on the memory device and determine whether to release the locking mechanism based on whether intensities of each of the plurality of wavelengths detected by the one or more optical sensors match the lock code.

Claim (Index 34):
A method for securing items comprising:\n receiving, at a control circuit and via a communication device, an unlock request associated with an optical key among a plurality of optical keys configured to emit at least one light beam; selecting, with the control circuit, an optical lock based on the unlock request, wherein the optical lock is selected from a plurality of optical locks each comprising one or more optical sensors configured to detect a plurality of wavelengths and an intensity associated with each wavelength; determining, with the control circuit, a lock code for the optical lock, wherein the lock code comprises a plurality of wavelength values and a plurality of intensity values each associated with a wavelength value; and send, via the communication device, the lock code to at least one of the optical key and the optical lock to allow the optical key to access items secured by the optical lock.
