The document outlines a concept called Social Locks that allows people to share access to locks via smartphones. The concept aims to target early technology adopters and companies with large fleets of shared items like bikes. Social Locks envisions a future with increased sharing of possessions enabled by mobile access. The team plans to develop a demonstrator in July 2013 and launch on an crowdfunding platform in September 2013, with the goal of releasing version 1.0 of the app and locks in February 2014. The document provides estimated pricing for locks, apps and professional accounts, and identifies the team working on the project.
