  • Secure, remotely controlled, internally powered padlock
    Patent number: 12595688
    Abstract: The current document is directed to an improved, remotely controlled, internally powered electronic padlock with enhanced security features that, when mechanically compromised, automatically generate alarms. The improved padlock can be opened via a key card placed in proximity to the improved padlock and can additionally be opened in response to receiving a command from a remote controller via network communications. A remote controller can configure the improved padlock, update the configuration of the improved padlock, unlock the improved padlock, and query the state of the improved padlock. A rotating switch, in combination with a translating latch plate and control logic implemented by stored microprocessor instructions and a microprocessor, detects various types of mechanical compromise and initiates generation of an audible alarm.
