Disclosed are embodiments of a tapered bolt receiver for a door lock to accommodate misalignment, between a deadbolt mounted to a door, and an opposing jamb. The tapered bolt receiver can be configured to accommodate misalignment for a deadbolt having a non-tapered bolt, such as for an electromechanical smart lock having a battery stored within a battery compartment that is integrated with an enhanced bolt. Also disclosed are embodiments of a deadbolt plate pivot assembly that is pivotably mountable to a corresponding deadbolt assembly to define a plate pivot system, to accommodate a beveled door edge. An illustrative embodiment of the deadbolt plate pivot assembly includes opposing plate that captures a hinge assembly, which can include plastic plate hinges, which serve to locate the deadbolt plate pivot assembly with respect to a corresponding bolt housing, and can provide a spring force and/or constant torque when mounted to a beveled door.

A lock control apparatus for a vehicle includes anchors to receive a signal transmitted from a terminal; a communication module to communicate using controller area network (CAN) communication; a detector installed on a door to input a detection signal; and a processor to receive the signal transmitted from the terminal from at least one of the anchors through the communication module, calculate a position of the terminal based on the signal transmitted from the terminal, determine whether to unlock the door in response to the position of the terminal and the detection signal, and control an engine to start. The processor controls the anchors to enter a sleep mode in response to waiting times of the anchors and resets the anchors to release the sleep mode and controls the anchors to enter a waiting mode in response to the number of anchors transmitting the signal from the terminal.

A method of detecting passage by an individual carrying a mobile device past an impediment operably connected to an access control is provided. The method including: detecting positional data of a mobile device; transmitting an access request from the mobile device to an access control operably connected to an impediment; detecting at least one of a sound from the impediment and a motion of the impediment; and determining that an individual carrying the mobile device has moved past the impediment in response to at least one of the sound from the impediment, the motion of the impediment, and the positional data of the mobile device.

An arrangement (10) for an electronic locking system (24), the arrangement (10) comprising an actuating element (12) arranged to perform an actuating procedure (18) by means of manual manipulation by a user; an electromagnetic generator (14) comprising a stator (20) and a rotor (22), the rotor (22) being arranged to be rotationally driven relative to the stator (20) at least temporarily during the actuating procedure (18) by movement of the actuating element (12) to thereby generate electric energy; and an electronic control system (16) arranged to be electrically powered by the generator (14); wherein the control system (16) is arranged to control a provision of feedback to the user; and wherein the feedback is a haptic feedback in the actuating element (12), a sound signal, a light signal, or combinations thereof. An electronic locking system (24) comprising the arrangement (10) is also provided.

Disclosed herein are an access control system and an access control method using the same. The access control method in which a door operating device determines whether to open a door on the basis of an authentication token acquired from a user terminal without intervention of an authentication server includes obtaining the authentication token from the user terminal; determining whether the user have authorization for accessing the door based on a authentication information included in the authentication token; controlling the door to be opened in case of determined that the user have authorization for accessing the door.

A set-top box with enhanced behavioral controls and system and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment of the set-top box, a wireless transceiver is located within a housing, which also interconnectively includes a signal input, a signal output, a processor, and memory. The set-top box may pair with an electronic door locking apparatus coupled to a door that is room-collocated with the set-top box in a hospitality establishment. The set-top box may then reprogram the electronic door locking apparatus as well as control amenities, such as a display, in response to presence signal from the electronic door locking apparatus.

A smart device control method and system is provided. The smart device control method may include obtaining a control command, the control command being used for instructing the smart device to perform a target operation; determining whether the control command satisfies a preset condition; and in response to determining that the control command satisfies the preset condition, controlling the smart device to perform the target operation.

A wireless door lock system with an emergency reporting function includes a user device, a door lock device, a network server and at least one recipient device. When the user device transmits a request signal for reporting an emergency condition to the door lock device, the door lock device determines if the user device is a paired device of the door lock device according to the request signal and further sends an emergency condition confirmation signal to the user device by way of wireless communication. The user device is then connected to the network server through the Internet and transmits an emergency condition signal to activate the network server to perform a push notification service and send an emergency condition message to the at least one recipient device. Given the push notification, the emergency condition message can be instantly provided to right recipients for emergency condition notification.

A security apparatus for an energy storage system is provided. The security apparatus includes a sensor input unit receiving security state information including door opening and closing and locking/unlocking from a door opening and closing sensor and a locking/unlocking sensor; a human machine interface (HMI) unit receiving information from a user or showing the information to the user; and a security state machine allowing manipulation of the energy storage system depending on whether security state information obtained through the sensor input unit satisfies a security state condition having a plurality of procedures in order.
