An electronic lock includes an input apparatus. The input apparatus includes a keypad module and a processor module. The keypad module includes plural button devices arranged in plural rows and in plural columns. The processor module includes a signal-processing unit configured to, when operating in a work mode, repeatedly perform an emission process of inputting a detection signal to each column of button devices, and repeatedly perform a scan process to detect, for each row of button devices, the detection signal outputted from any row of button devices. The detection signal includes a pulse wave composed of plural pulses. The signal-processing unit is further configured to generate and output an input signal corresponding to one of the button devices when detecting the detection signal.

Disclosed herein is a vehicle that includes a first communication module configured to receive a search signal of a user terminal through a data channel having a first frequency band, a second communication module configured to send a sensing signal to at least one of inside or outside of the vehicle through a second frequency band, and to receive a reflected signal corresponding to the sensing signal, and a controller configured to wake up the second communication module when the first communication module receives the search signal, determine a position of the user terminal based on the sensing signal and the reflected signal, and control the second communication module to operate in an operation mode that is determined based on at least one of the position of the user terminal or startup of the vehicle.

A vehicle electronic key includes: a receiver for receiving a request signal transmitted from an in-vehicle device; a transmitter for transmitting a response signal responding to the request signal; a key controller that determines whether the request signal has been received and controls the transmitter to transmit the response signal based on a determination that the request signal has been received; and an acceleration sensor that detects an acceleration applied to the vehicle electronic key and sets a vibration detection flag based on a determination that a vibration equal to or greater than a threshold value has been detected according to a detected acceleration.

When cascading interlockings of electronic locks, in particular for vaults, it is known to link all locks to a communications bus, wherein each lock has an associated serial number. Additionally, it is provided for additionally associating a sequential number to each lock so as to simplify managing the locks. Preferably, with a main lock, in which a translation table is stored, the sequential number of each lock in the system is associated to the serial number thereof; thereby, negotiating the numbers as follows: if two locks with the number 1 are connected to the communications bus, one lock keeps the number 1 and then adds a line in the translation table, in which a sequential number not yet assigned for the other lock and the serial number thereof are stored, and, if required, also adds all the locks not yet listed in the table.

An exemplary lockset is configured for installation in a standard door preparation, and includes an exterior assembly, an interior assembly, and a center assembly connecting the exterior and interior assemblies. The exterior assembly includes an exterior escutcheon which houses a credential reader assembly including a multi-tech credential reader. The interior assembly includes an interior escutcheon which houses a control system. The center assembly includes a chassis, an outer surface of which may define a channel. The credential reader assembly is in communication with the control assembly via a wire harness, a portion of which may pass through the channel.

The locking system can have an outer housing mounted to an outside face of the door, and an inner housing mounted to an inside face of the door, a wire conduit mounted to one of the inner housing and the outer housing and extending across the door to the other one of the inner housing and the outer housing, the wire conduit having two telescoping members, and at least one wire extending inside the wire conduit and connected between a first locking system component housed in the outer housing and a second locking system component housed in the inner housing.

A method for controlling a door lock device includes checking whether strength of a scanned signal obtained by scanning a signal output from a smart phone is greater than predetermined strength of a signal by the door lock device; comparing strength of a signal (RSSI) of the smart phone received through an external antenna installed outside the door in which the door lock device is installed with the RSSI received through an internal antenna installed inside the door by the door lock device; authenticating whether the smart phone is a valid smart phone, when the strength of a signal of the smart phone received through the external antenna is greater than the strength of a signal of the smart phone received through the internal antenna by a predetermined value; and opening the door when the smart phone is authenticated as the valid smart phone according to the authenticated result.

A remotely controlled cabinet assembly includes a cabinet unit that includes a central cabinet and a door that is hingedly coupled to the central cabinet. A plurality of locking units is each coupled to the central cabinet. Each of the locking units releasably engages the door for locking the door on the central cabinet. A control unit is coupled to the cabinet unit and the control unit is electrically coupled to each of the locking units. The control unit actuates each of the locking units to disengage and thusly unlock the door on the central cabinet. A keypad is coupled to the door and each of the locks disengages the door when an alpha-numeric code is entered into the keypad. An electronic device is carried by a user and the electronic device transmits an unlock command to the control unit for remotely unlocking the door on the central cabinet.
