Patent number: 10246903Abstract: 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: May 29, 2018Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: Schlage Lock Company LLCInventors: Brian A. Telljohann, Ryne Rayburn, Matthew R. Dexter, Gregory Ross, John Evenson

Patent number: 10244478Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for controlling access devices including WI-FI and dual radio communications between an access control database and one or more access devices in a facility. The systems and methods allow real time communications between the database and the access devices utilizing existing communications WI-FI infrastructure in the facility while minimizing loss of battery life of the access devices by employing the radio network to target all or a portion of the access devices for communications when needed.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2015Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Schlage Lock Company LLCInventors: Ryan C. Kincaid, Lakshmi Santhanakrishnan, Brian A. Telljohann, Kevin P. Oehler, Nabeel Bitar

Publication number: 20190088056Abstract: An electronic lock system including an access control device configured to provide system instructions, an interface module electrically coupled to the access control device and configured to transmit RF signals in response to system instructions received from the access control device, and a plurality of wireless electronic door locks each configured to wirelessly communicate with the interface module. Each of the wireless electronic door locks includes a controller and a wireless receiver operatively connected to the controller, the wireless receiver including a first antenna defined as a circuit board trace and a second antenna, spaced from the first antenna and defined as a circuit board trace. Each of the first antenna and the second antenna include one of a monopole antenna and a fractal antenna. The controller is configured to switch between the first antenna and the second antenna to receive a wireless signal having a greater signal strength.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2018Publication date: March 21, 2019Inventors: Brian A. Telljohann, Ron M. Kielkowski, Frank A. Nardelli, Russell L. Steiner

Patent number: 10227818Abstract: 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: October 17, 2017Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: Schlage Lock Company LLCInventors: Ryan C. Kincaid, Gabriel D. Focke, Brian A. Telljohann, Raymond F. Rettig, Matthew Dexter, Ryne Rayburn
