Patent number: 11591847Abstract: A position sensing system and method for detecting the displacement of a door from a reference position, such as, for example, from a closed position. The system includes a magnetometer that may be operably connected to the door, and which measures positional location relative to a reference magnetic field, such as, for example, a magnetic field provided by a magnet of a lock device. The system may also include an accelerometer that detects acceleration of the door, and thereby provides an indication of when location is to be measured by the magnetometer. Measurement information from the magnetometer is used to derive a position indicator that is compared to a reference indicator, the reference indicator being associated with the reference position. Differences between the position and reference indicators may provide an indication that the door has been moved from the reference position.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2021Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: Schlage Lock Company LLCInventors: Ryan C. Kincaid, Gabriel D. Focke, Brian A. Telljohann, Raymond F. Rettig, Matthew Dexter, Ryne Rayburn

Patent number: 11136788Abstract: An electronic door lock including a magnetometer, an accelerometer, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine a status of a door with respect to a door frame using data provided by the accelerometer and magnetometer which collectively generate acceleration data, velocity data and positional data of the door. The processor provides data to a user interface or an alert device indicating one or more of: door open angle, prep-less door position, an acceleration alert, a door position alert, door sag, door frame rub, and triangulation of an intruder.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2019Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: Schlage Lock Company LLCInventors: Brian A. Telljohann, Ryne Rayburn, Matthew R. Dexter, Gregory Ross, John Evenson
