Abstract: An electronic lock includes a lock assembly configured to switch between a locking state and an unlocking state, and a control unit electrically connected to the lock assembly. The control unit includes an operation panel configured to receive a user input, a light sensor configured to measure intensity of ambient light and generate a light-sense signal, a proximity sensor configured to generate a wake signal, a backlight module configured to emit light from the operation panel, and a control module electrically connected to the lock assembly, the operation panel, the light sensor, the proximity sensor, and the backlight module. The control module is configured to control operation of the lock assembly based on the user input, activate the light sensor to measure the intensity of the ambient light, activate the backlight module to emit the light, and control the backlight module to adjust brightness of the light emitted thereby.

Abstract: An electronic lock includes a deadbolt, a driver mechanism, a transmission mechanism and a control mechanism. The transmission mechanism includes a transmission gear that is driven by the driver mechanism to rotate, a resilient unit that is mounted to and co-rotatable with the transmission gear, and a rotary member that is operable to rotate relative to the transmission gear between a locking position and an unlocking position, and that is connected to the deadbolt. The control mechanism is connected to the rotary member, and ceases operation of the driver mechanism when detecting that the rotary member has been rotated to one of the locking and unlocking positions.

Abstract: An electronic lock device includes a lock mechanism, an actuation mechanism that actuates the lock mechanism, and a control unit including a processor and a current detection module. During an operation in which the actuation mechanism is activated to start switching the lock mechanism from an original state to an intended state, the current detection module continuously detects an amount of electric current flowing through the actuation mechanism. When the amount of electric current is greater than a predetermined threshold, the processor controls the actuation mechanism to switch the lock mechanism back to the original state, and deactivates the actuation mechanism.

Abstract: An electronic lock capable of offering haptic feedback includes an input panel, a circuit board, at least one inductor member, at least one magnetic member, and at least one diaphragm that abuts against the circuit board. The at least one inductor member is electrically coupled to the circuit board, is connected to the at least one diaphragm, and is adjacent to the at least one magnetic member. When the input panel is pushed toward the circuit board, the circuit board and the at least one inductor member are conducted, and the circuit board alternately distributes electric currents ire different directions to the at least one inductor member such that the at least one magnetic member alternately, attracts and pushes the at least one inductor member, thereby urging the at least one diaphragm to vibrate upon movement of the at east one inductor member.

Abstract: An electronic lock includes an input apparatus. The input apparatus includes a keypad module and a processor module. The keypad module includes plural button devices arranged in plural rows and in plural columns. The processor module includes a signal-processing unit configured to, when operating in a work mode, repeatedly perform an emission process of inputting a detection signal to each column of button devices, and repeatedly perform a scan process to detect, for each row of button devices, the detection signal outputted from any row of button devices. The detection signal includes a pulse wave composed of plural pulses. The signal-processing unit is further configured to generate and output an input signal corresponding to one of the button devices when detecting the detection signal.

Abstract: An electronic lock includes an electric locking unit, a touch panel, and a control module. The control module stores a plurality of touch condition sets which are related to human contact. The control module executes an input scan operation on each touch switch of the touch panel, charges a self capacitor with a scan signal, and charges a mutual capacitor with a driving signal. The control module determines whether an electric change conforms with any one of the touch conditions. Through a structural design of the touch panel and a scan function design of the control module, the electronic lock can more accurately determine whether the touch panel is operated by human touch and can also normally operate in a humid environment.

Abstract: An electronic lock includes a lock mechanism operable to change a state thereof between a lock state and an unlock state, and an electric control device including a motor module and a controller. The motor module is electrically operable to perform a lock operation or an unlock operation on the lock mechanism.

The controller stops driving operation of the motor module after determining at least that the driving current satisfies the predetermined current condition.
