  • Patent number: 11710362
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling access to a secured space are disclosed. The system includes a locking device having a body having a rotatable locking cam having a locked paddle and an unlocked paddle. The cam is rotatable between a first position and a second position. The body also has a locking pin and a power supply for supplying electrical power to circuit components of the locking device. The locking device also includes a shackle having two arms. One of the two arms has a groove in a bottom portion thereof configured to engage with the locking pin when the shackle is in a closed position. In the first position, the locked paddle of the rotatable locking cam engages the locking pin in the groove. In the second position, the locked paddle of the rotatable locking cam is disengaged from the locking pin.

  • Patent number: 11580849
    Abstract: Wearable electronic systems having varying interactions based on device orientations are described herein. The systems include a first wearable electronic device and a second wearable electronic device having an input device and a device orientation sensor. The device orientation sensor detects a device orientation of the second wearable electronic device and generates a device orientation signal. The systems have a first mapping orientation mode that performs a first mapping between inputs from the input device and functions of a user interface displayed on the first wearable electronic device when the second wearable electronic device has a first device orientation and a second mapping orientation mode that performs a second mapping between inputs from the input device and functions of the user interface displayed on the first wearable electronic device when the device orientation of the second wearable electronic device detected by the device orientation sensor is a second device orientation.

  • Publication number: 20190313249
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods establish encrypted communications between wearable electronic devices. In response to a physical contact between a first wearable electronic device and a second wearable electronic device respective impact sensors of the first and second wearable electronic devices generate sensor signals. A first identity signal is transmitted from the first wearable device and received at the second wearable device. The second wearable device determines that at least a portion of the first identity signal corresponds to at least a portion of an expected identity signal and, if so, uses the at least a portion of the first identity signal and the at least a portion of the expected identity signal as encryption keys to provide encrypted communications. The first identity signal and/or the expected identity signal may be at least partially based upon or derived from the sensor signal(s) generated by the impact sensor(s).
