Methods and systems for configuring a security device, such as an electronic lock, are disclosed. In particular, the present disclosure describes methods and systems for provisioning a lock with a certificate such that any change to the lock, or changes to lock-server communication characteristics, can be detected and (optionally) prevented. As such, security of such devices is improved.

The present disclosure provides an intelligent lock. In an embodiment, the intelligent lock includes: a lock body having a lock hole; a lock lever, the lock lever being capable of being plugged into and being unplugged out of the lock hole of the lock body; a first restricting member movably provided inside the lock body, and capable of being moved and latched into the lock hole to restrict the plugging of the lock lever into the lock hole or the unplugging of the lock lever out of the lock hole; a second restricting member movably provided inside the lock body, and capable of being abutted against the first restricting member so as to restrict a movement of the first restricting member; a detecting device provided in the lock body, and configured to detect the plugging operation of the lock lever into the lock hole or the unplugging operation of the lock lever out of the lock hole and to send a detection signal; and a main control element communicatively connected to the detecting device, and configured to determine a locking state of the intelligent lock in accordance with the detection signal sent by the detecting device.

A locking module for selectively coupling a first component and a second component of a lockable device includes a locking member rotatable about an axis between a rest position and an actuated position. An engagement member is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The engagement member is configured to cooperate with the locking member to selectively release the second component.

A lock for securing access to a physical resource is provided. The lock includes a wireless interface configured for communication with a plurality of lock access devices in vicinity of the lock. The wireless interface is further configured to receive digital certificates from the plurality of lock access devices. The lock further includes a memory configured to store a public key, and a processor configured to authenticate a digital certificate received from a lock access device using the public key. The processor may further be configured to extract a wait time parameter, scheduled access period parameter, or re-use parameter from the digital certificate. In addition, the processor is configured to unlock the lock after a delay period based on the wait time parameter, during a scheduled access period based on the scheduled access period parameter, or based on the number of times indicated by the re-use parameter.

A cooler access control system locks a cooler when occurrence of an event is detected that requires limiting access to the inside of the cooler. Examples of such events include the loss of power to the cooler for a predetermined period of time, the opening of the cooler door for longer than an allowed time, the loss of functionality of a temperature probe and others. In an embodiment, a service mode is supported wherein the door is left unlocked despite the occurrence of such an event, to allow a stocker or other personnel to leave the cooler door open while stocking the cooler with product.

The present invention relates to exterior or interior doors for residential or commercial buildings, such as for a home, apartment, condominium, hotel room or business, and, more particularly, to a door provided with a rechargeable battery as a source of electrical power that may be used to operate electric devices mounted to the door. The door has electric devices attached thereto. The electric devices which. are powered by one or more rechargeable batteries that are charged by one or more energy harvester systems and/or by direct connection to a power source. A system for distributing the power collected from the energy harvester system and/or the wired connection are also provided.

A access control system includes a catch configured to be affixed to an inner portion of an enclosure, a latch configured to engage the catch when the catch is attached to the enclosure and an access door of the enclosure is in a closed position. The access control system is configured to detect, using one or more sensors, when the latch is within a predetermined proximity of the catch, and responsive to detecting that the latch is not within the predetermined proximity of the catch, determine whether an authorized credential was received via a communication interface to open the latch, and when the authorized credential was received, register an authorized opening of the latch in a memory device, and when the authorized credential was not received, register an the unauthorized opening of the latch in the memory device and enter an alert state.

An entry/exit detection locking device includes a knob axle of a lock and an engaging and holding unit and a retention unit. The knob axle includes upper and lower rotary axles each formed with a notch. The engaging and holding unit is arranged at one side of the knob axle. The retention unit is arranged below the knob axle. The retention unit is connected through a control circuit to a card reader at an outdoor side. Through adjustment, the engaging and holding unit is set in engagement with the notch of the upper rotary axle or the notch of the lower rotary axle to achieve a locked state for exit or entry. Rotating the knob axle for entry or exit triggers the retention unit to make a record of the exit or entry. The engaging and holding unit is connected to the card reader to enable unlocking through card swiping.

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.

An exit device according to one embodiment includes a plurality of sensors and an electronic dogging mechanism. The exit device is configured to locally analyze sensor data to determine the security state of the exit device, report data to a management system via a wireless communication channel established between the exit device and the management system, and receive and process instructions to perform an electronic dogging operation.
