1. A method for outputting a notification about the existence of a status of a utility locking system to be avoided, wherein the utility locking system comprises an electronic knob and a locking device which can be actuated with the electronic knob, wherein a force may be transmittable or is transmitted manually from the electronic knob to the locking device in order to transfer the utility locking system from a bolted to an unbolted status and/or from an unbolted status to a bolted status, having the steps:
Detecting an actual status of the utility locking system,
Determining a target status of the utility locking system depending on predefined criteria,
Comparing the actual status with the target status of the utility locking system and determining whether there is a discrepancy between the actual status and the target status of the utility locking system,
Outputting at least one notification if there is a discrepancy between the actual status and the target status of the utility locking system,
wherein the utility locking system comprises information about whether a mobile terminal, which is configured to communicate with the electronic knob and/or with the locking device, is located within a predefined spatial region, wherein if there is a deviation of the actual status from the target status, a notification is only output if the mobile terminal is located outside of the predefined spatial region.
