Embodiments of the present disclosure provides a power supply control method of an intelligent lock, an intelligent lock system, and a storage medium, where, the method includes: a controller acquires a wake-up request, where the wake-up request is used to indicate that the controller is in a working mode, supplies power to an operating device corresponding to the wake-up request when the controller is in the working mode, and stops supplying power to the operating device when determining that a processing corresponding to the acquired user operation has been accomplished by the operating device. According to this technical solution, an overall power consumption of the entire intelligent lock system including the controller and at least one operating device is low, which improves system stability and user experience.

An electronic key a vehicle is disclosed. The electronic key includes an inertial sensor, a microcontroller coupled to the inertial sensor and a transmitter/receiver coupled to the microcontroller. The microcontroller is configured to perform an operation, the operation includes detecting a motion, turning a radio of the transmitter/receiver on, determining that a distance to the vehicle is less than a preselected distance, determining an activity using a sensor fusion process, determining that the distance to the vehicle is decreasing and performing a preselected operation on the vehicle.

Systems and methods are provided for operating a remotely operable lock. In an example embodiment, a method comprises receiving credentials at a web service from a portable electronic device, authenticating the credentials, and based on a successful authentication, issuing a command for receipt by the lock from the web service or the portable electronic device.

A method for operating an access control comprises creating a plurality of wake-up schedules for a wireless transceiver. Each of the plurality of wake-up schedules may be configured to control how frequently the wireless transceiver wakes up to transmit or receive information. Each of the plurality of wake-up schedules for the wireless transceiver may be different from another one or the plurality of wake-up schedules for the wireless transceiver. The method may further comprise automatically switching between the plurality of wake-up schedules for the wireless transceiver such that a duration of time between wake-ups for the wireless transceiver radio is shorter during some predefined times and longer during other predefined times. The duration of time between wake-ups for the wireless transceiver may be configurable by an administrative user via an interface.

A method and a system for smart Bluetooth operation switching based on a beacon broadcast are provided. A Bluetooth device transmits the beacon broadcast; a mobile terminal scans the beacon broadcast and, by parsing the beacon broadcast, the mobile terminal determines whether to wake up an application program; sending a parsed beacon broadcast to the application program, and identifying feature data of a Bluetooth device connectable broadcast set in the beacon broadcast; the Bluetooth device transmits a connectable broadcast; the mobile terminal connects to the connectable broadcast and performs an identity verification; acquiring a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) signal strength between the Bluetooth device and the mobile terminal, and mutually calculating position information to obtain a relative distance of the Bluetooth device and the mobile terminal; and, when the relative distance reaches a threshold, executing a corresponding switch action.

A control system is provided which comprises a controller and an interface. The controller is configured to detect at least one user permitted to use at least one smart lock, and send a wake-up command via the interface to the at least one smart lock by which the at least one smart lock is instructed to activate a radio connection for a mobile device of the at least one user.

A method of operating an access system for a vehicle, the method comprising: 5 scanning for a first communication signal from a first communications device using a first communication channel; and initiating a vehicle access process in dependence on detecting the first communication signal from the first communications device; wherein the vehicle access process comprises: comparing a received signal strength indication, RSSI, of the received first communication signal to a predetermined 10 threshold signal strength value; sending a challenge signal for a second communications device using a second communication channel in the event that the RSSI of the received first communication signal exceeds the threshold signal strength value; and controlling the vehicle access system in dependence on a response signal received from the second communications device, the response signal having been 15 sent in response to the challenge signal.

Upon a triggering event, an electronic key for a vehicle, comprising a microcontroller and a motion sensor to detect movement of a transponder unit, performs a first measurement resulting in a first measurement value, and compares the first measurement value to a predefined threshold value. Subsequently, the key: performs a plurality of first reference measurements to determine a first average value over the plurality of first reference measurements if the first measurement value is below the predefined threshold value; and performs a plurality of second reference measurements to determines a second average value over the plurality of second reference measurements, and compares the second average value with the first average value if the first measurement value equals or is above the predefined threshold value. The electronic key is considered as moving if a difference between the second average value and the first average value is greater than a third threshold.
