The present disclosure provides systems for smart security. The system may include a smart security device, a control module, a driving module, and a mechanical structure. The control module may be configured to send a control instruction to the driving module. The driving module may be configured to drive the mechanical structure based on the control instruction, thereby performing a state switching operation of the smart security device.

Disclosed are various embodiments of lock devices, systems, and methods. A lock of the application can include an internal mechanism to permit backdriven operation and lost motion operation. In one form the lock can be made from an assembly of parts that have locating features that require one way installation/assembly. The lock can include an internal power source capable of driving electronics used to determine handedness of a door.

An electronic sensor and key operated lock is disclosed which provides users with the option to use at least one of a manually operated mechanism or for example a biometric sensor to unlock the lock. The lock integrates both the manually operated mechanism and a biometric sensor into one device. The manually operated mechanism and a biometric sensor are coupled to a common toggle switch so that operation of at least one of the manually operated mechanism and the biometric sensor moves the toggle switch and a shackle from locked and unlocked positions.

An electrical lock may include a main body case; a dead bolt being movable between a locked position and an unlocked; a dead bolt moving element structured to move the dead bolt; a drive source structured to move the dead bolt moving element; a power transmission mechanism structured to transmit power of the drive source to the dead bolt moving element; a manual-handling component, which is placed at an outdoor side of the door, structured to manually move the dead bolt, being at the locked position, to the unlocked position; a manual unlocking mechanism to which the manual-handling component is connected; and a restriction member structured to restrict a motion of the manual-handling component, the restriction member being formed in, or fixed to the dead bolt moving element.

Barricade devices and methods of barricading a door are disclosed. Such devices and methods may be used to barricade a door, and thereby prevent an intruder from entering a sheltering space, such as a classroom, storeroom, or hallway. The barricade-device may have a pivotable stop-device that is pivotable from a location adjacent to a door. The pivot-location may be at an elevation that is lower than a door handle on the door. The stop-device may be pivotable from a reserve-position to a stop-position. In the reserve-position, the stop-device does not barricade the door. In the barricade-position, the stop-device barricades the door. Operation of the barricade-device may require the use of one or more major muscle groups of the body, but need not require precise dexterity of the fingers or hands (e.g. such as that required to manipulate small keys, latches, and/or the grasping and turning of assemblies). As such, the barricade-device may be used properly and quickly by a wide range of people having differing physical and mental capabilities.

An intelligent door lock system is coupled to a door at a dwelling. A sensor is at the dwelling. The sensor is coupled to a drive shaft of a lock device to assist in locking and unlocking a lock of a lock device at the door. The lock device is coupled to the sensor and includes a bolt. An engine, an energy source and a memory are coupled together. A camera is coupled to or part of the intelligent door lock system. The camera is configured to define a safe zone in the dwelling in which an occupant, and a non dwelling occupant third person is allowed into the dwelling.

The barricade-device may have a pivotable stop-device that is pivotable from a location adjacent to a door. The pivot-location may be at an elevation that is lower than a door handle. The stop-device may be pivotable from a reserve-position to a stop-position. In the reserve-position, the stop-device does not barricade the door. In the barricade-position, the stop-device barricades the door. Operation of the barricade-device may require the application of an activation operation to an activator. A wide range of people having differing physical and mental capabilities may use the barricade-device properly and quickly.

The present application provides a motor gearbox used in, for example, a smart door lock. The gearbox may comprise a housing, a motor disposed in the housing, a gearbox output shaft disposed in the housing; and a clutch mechanism comprising a main gear and a planetary gear meshing with the main gear. The main gear may be connected and driven by the motor, and the planetary gear may be selectively connected to the gearbox output shaft when the motor drives the main gear to rotate. When the main gear is rotating, the planetary gear may move in a circumferential direction of the main gear.

An apparatus for interacting with a latch of a door includes a contact component configured to make physical contact with the latch, an electrically-powered module, and a housing. The electrically-powered module is configured to move the contact component such that the contact component pushes the latch out of a bore of a door frame and into the door. The housing contains the electrically-powered module and the contact component, and is configured to fit within the bore of the door frame. The apparatus can also include a mounting plate attached to the housing, the mounting plate configured to mount the apparatus to the door frame such that the housing is disposed within the bore of the door frame.

An intelligent door lock system is coupled to a door at a dwelling. A sensor is at the dwelling. The sensor being is coupled to a drive shaft of a lock device to assist in locking and unlocking a lock of a lock device at a door. The lock device is coupled to the sensor and includes a bolt. An engine, an energy source and a memory are coupled together. A camera is coupled to the intelligent door lock system with a wide field of view.
