A method of operating a door system includes receiving a signal from a pressure sensor disposed in a sill or a frame of the door system, authenticating the user after receiving the signal, shifting the lock from a locked configured to an unlocked configuration in response to receiving the signal after authenticating the user, and moving the door panel from a closed position to an ajar position in response to receiving the signal.

Systems and methods for control of a locking system are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system comprises one or more sensors configured to generate output signals indicating one or more movement information of a subject. The system comprises at least one processor operatively connected with the one or more sensors, and memory storing instructions executable by the at least one processor, the instructions when executed cause the system to determine, using the output signals from the one or more sensors, one or more movement parameters of the subject; and send, based on the determined movement parameters of the subject, an instruction to the locking system to adjust an open delay time for the locking system, the open delay time being time the locking system remains open.

A latching system and method are configured to selectively latch and unlatch a first component in relation to a second component. The latching system and method include an actuator, a first coupler secured to the actuator, a latch, and a second coupler secured to the latch. The first coupler is configured to couple to the second coupler to couple the actuator to the latch. The first coupler is configured to uncouple from the second coupler to uncouple the actuator from the latch in response to the latch being manually operated.

One embodiment relates to an exit device assembly. The exit device assembly includes a center case, a push pad movably mounted on the center case, and a mechanical case coupled to the center case, wherein the exit device includes an opening. The assembly also includes a sensor aligned with the opening, wherein the sensor is structured to detect a user from a distance through the opening and to generate an output signal in response to detecting the user. The assembly also includes a latch and a latch actuator. The assembly also includes a controller in communication with the sensor and the latch actuator, wherein the controller is structured to transmit an actuating signal in response to receiving the output signal from the sensor, wherein the latch actuator is configured to move the latch from the locked position to the unlocked position in response to the actuating signal.

A package receiving device 10 includes: a casing 12 having an opening 12a formed in an upper surface thereof; a placement table 22 configured to move up and down between a raised position at which the placement table 22 is located at the upper surface opening 12a of the casing 12 and a lowered position at which the placement table 22 is located inside the casing 12; a lid member 32 configured to move between an opening position and a closing position so that the lid member 32 opens/closes the upper surface opening 12a of the casing 12. After the package is placed thereon, the placement table 22 is moved to the lowered position from the raised position, and subsequently the lid member 32 is moved to the closing position from the opening position, whereby the package placed on the placement table 22 is housed inside the casing 12.

The lock of the present invention includes a housing, a fastening element, a stopping element, a first locking mechanism and a second locking mechanism. The fastening element is movable relative to the housing and is selectively located at a securing position and a releasing position; the stopping element has a first state and a second state. The stopping element in the first state restricts the fastening element to be in the securing position while the stopping element in the second state releases the fastening element. The first locking mechanism includes a dynamic element and a sensing device. The dynamic element drives the stopping element to change between the first state and the second state. The sensing device senses a signal and controls the dynamic element.

One embodiment relates to an exit device assembly. The exit device assembly includes a center case, a push pad movably mounted on the center case, and a mechanical case coupled to the center case, wherein the exit device includes an opening. The assembly also includes a sensor aligned with the opening, wherein the sensor is structured to detect a user from a distance through the opening and to generate an output signal in response to detecting the user. The assembly also includes a latch and a latch actuator. The assembly also includes a controller in communication with the sensor and the latch actuator, wherein the controller is structured to transmit an actuating signal in response to receiving the output signal from the sensor, wherein the latch actuator is configured to move the latch from the locked position to the unlocked position in response to the actuating signal.

The present disclosure provides a lock and a method and a system for controlling the lock. The lock may include an operation part, an action part, and a bolt. The action part may be configured to drive the bolt to move. The operation part and the action part may be connected to each other via a transmission connection. The transmission connection may be blockable.

A method of operating a door system includes sensing a user on an exterior side of a door panel in physical propinquity to the lock such that the lock transitions from a sleep state to an active state, authenticating the user when the lock is in the active state before converting the lock from a locked configuration to an unlocked configuration, and converting the lock from the locked configuration to the unlocked configuration in response to transition to the active state. Authenticating the user includes receiving an authentication signal from a remote device on the user in physical propinquity to the to the lock.
