David M. Baty (Indianapolis, IN) · David Newby (Avon, IN) · Justin D. Seacat (Carmel, IN)

International Classification

E05B 47/00, G01B 7/00, G01D 5/12

Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to an electronic deadbolt control system including a deadbolt configured to extend or retract between a locked position and an unlocked position, respectively. An output shaft connected between a final gear and the deadbolt is configured to transmit an actuation force to the deadbolt from an electric motor. A first magnet and a second magnet are associated with the final gear to define a home position for either a left hand deadbolt or a right hand deadbolt. A cam is positioned on the output shaft to engage with a switch such that, in combination with a threshold current motor output, the control system determines whether the deadbolt is in an extended position or a retracted position. A thumb-turn shaft is disengaged from the final gear in the home position to permit manual actuation of a thumb-turn.

Filed

Jan 7, 2020

Inventor

David I. Newby (Plainfield, IN)

Appl. No.

16/735896

Assignee

David I. Newby (Plainfield, IN)

International Classification

G06F 1/3287, H04W 76/10, H04L 12/26

Abstract

A method of operating an access control device to reduce power consumption based on delivery scheduling according to an embodiment includes operating, by the access control device, Wi-Fi circuitry of the access control device in a low power state, waking, by the access control device, the Wi-Fi circuitry from the low power state based on a package delivery window, communicating, via the Wi-Fi circuitry of the access control device, with an access device during the package delivery window in response to waking the Wi-Fi circuitry, and operating, by the access control device, an access control mechanism in response to communicating with the access device.

Abstract

A method of reducing a power consumption of a wireless device according to one embodiment includes performing, by the wireless device, a calibration of wireless communication circuitry of the wireless device in response to establishing a wireless communication connection with a wireless access point, determining, by the wireless device, a number of disconnections between the wireless device and the wireless access point over a predefined period of time, and increasing, by the wireless device, a sleep interval of the wireless communication circuitry of the wireless device in response to determining the number of disconnections between the wireless device and the wireless access point over the predefined period of time is less than a threshold number of disconnections.
