Original Abstract Submitted
this relates generally to intelligent automated assistants and, more specifically, to provide a digital keychain for physical objects. an example method includes receiving a user request and in response to receiving the user request, scanning one or more objects within a real-world environment using a real-time capturing device associated with the electronic device in response to receiving a user request, generating one or more views of the one or more objects, identifying at least one of the one or more objects as a locking device based on the one or more views, authenticating the user based on biometric data and contextual information, obtaining instructions for unlocking the locking device in response to authenticating the user, and providing the instructions to the user.
