A wireless electromechanical lock with one or more of an internal antenna, touch activation, and/or a light communication device that acts as a user interface. In some embodiments, the lock utilizes an antenna near the exterior face of the lockset, designed inside the metal body of the lockset itself. A light communication device is provided in some embodiments to communicate information, visually, to the user via animations and dynamic displays of light. In some embodiments, the lockset includes a touch activation capability, which can be used to lock/unlock the lock and/or otherwise provide input.

Wireless lockset with touch activation

Cleaning mitt

A lockset with a latch assembly having a bolt movable between an extended position and a retracted position. The lockset includes a motor configured to move the bolt between the extended position and the retracted position. A controller is provided that is configured to electronically control the motor to control movement of the bolt between the extended position and the retracted position responsive to receiving a valid authentication from an authentication device. The lockset includes a receiver connected to an antenna to detect an incoming wireless signal transmitted from an authentication device. The controller includes an angle of arrival sensor configured to determine a distance and a direction to the authentication device by analyzing a wireless phase and timing of the incoming wireless signal transmitted by the authentication device. The controller is configured to control movement of the bolt between the extended and retracted positions based, at least in part, on the distance and the direction to the authentication device.

A wireless lockset with integrated wireless signals analysis and method is described herein. The analysis integrated into the wireless lockset allows remote monitoring of a building or dwelling. A user can track and be notified of the state of occupancy of a dwelling based upon when specific un-associated devices that are within range of the lockset.

Lockset with integrated wireless signals analysis feature and method

A wireless lockset with integrated anti-hacking methods is described herein. The integrated anti-hacking methods in the wireless lockset allows the detection of unauthorized access by one or more individuals. The integrated anti-hacking methods can detect an anomaly regarding wireless command sequence numbers, timing of received commands or flooding attack, and/or unauthorized access based on the MAC address of a command-issuing device. Upon detection of a hacking attempt, the wireless lockset performs one or more actions.

Wireless lockset with anti-hacking feature

An electronic or non-electronic lockset with a passive RFID tag operating methods and system is described herein. The passive RFID tag is affixed to or near the lockset. Using an application on a mobile device, a user can leverage the mobile device to enable features such as user notifications, home automation control, and home security control. A visitor to a home uses an application on their mobile device to scan the passive RFID to gain entry to a home through verification by a remote homeowner.

A package securement device includes a containment device in the form of either a bag or a box for receiving packages. The containment device includes an opening allowing for removal and insertion of packages. Access may be given to the interior of the containment device through an electronic device with a credential receiver configured to receive a credential input by a user. A communication module with a wireless transmitter connected to the electronic device transmits and receive a wireless communication regarding a status of the containment bag. A remote user interface may be used to monitor and control access to the containment device.

Package delivery securement device

An electronic lockset with a radio frequency harvesting circuit. In one embodiment, the electronic lockset includes a mechanical locking portion movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. One or more energy consumption devices are provided that actuate the mechanical locking portion between the locked position and the unlocked position. A rechargeable battery provides electrical power to the energy consumption devices. A radio frequency ('RF') transmitter and RF energy harvesting circuit are used to wirelessly recharge the battery. Typically, the RF transmitter is configured to transmit at a predetermined frequency. The RF energy harvesting circuit is tuned to the predetermined frequency and is electrically coupled with the rechargeable battery to recharge the battery.
