Publication number: 20240346864Abstract: Secure passcode-triggered wireless communication pairing of a mobile device with an electronic lock is provided. The passcode is a limited-use (e.g., one time use, useful for a limited time span) pairing passcode that may be generated at the electronic lock or by an application executing on an administrative user's mobile device that can be communicated to a guest user as part of an invitation to connect to the electronic lock. The pairing passcode is not a lock actuation passcode and cannot be used to actuate the electronic lock from a locked to an unlocked position. Rather, the pairing passcode enables the guest user to pair a mobile device with the electronic lock and, once paired, to use an application executing on the guest user's mobile device to actuate the electronic lock.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2024Publication date: October 17, 2024Inventors: Derek Imanuel, Kevin Pasma

Publication number: 20240117615Abstract: The disclosed smart electronic faucet system controls the flow of water being dispensed using voice commands. The disclosed smart electronic faucet system is a hybrid system that uses the computing resources available locally within the faucet itself for time-sensitive commands and the computing resources of a network connected server system or computing device for commands that do not have a time-sensitivity. After receiving a voice command, the disclosed smart electronic faucet system analyzes the command to determine if the command is time-sensitive and if so, uses computing resources located within the faucet to process the command to determine the control action to be taken by the faucet. Otherwise, the faucet sends the command to a server computer or computing device that is remotely located but communicatively connected to the faucet, which then processes the command and returns the control action to be taken by the faucet.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2021Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventor: Kevin Pasma

Patent number: 11948415Abstract: Secure enrollment of a user with an electronic lock is provided. Enrollment with the lock may include a verification process and a secure enrollment mode based on verification of a unique enrollment code (UEC) associated with an enrollment invitation link that may be provided to the user. Selection of the link may direct the user's mobile device to a client application, where an option may be provided for initiating the verification process. The UEC may be communicated to and presented by the lock. The user's device may capture the presented UEC, which may be compared against the UEC generated in association with the link. When validated, the lock may enter the secure enrollment mode, where the user can register an actuation passcode, or the lock may be paired with the mobile device over a short-range wireless connection, which may allow the user to actuate the lock via the client application.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: ASSA ABLOY Americas Residential Inc.Inventors: Kevin Pasma, Nedal Almomani

Publication number: 20240011265Abstract: Autofill systems for faucets are configured to determine an interior height of a vessel that holds water and is positioned along a sensing axis of a distance sensor. The interior height of the vessel is based on a bottom surface and a top rim surface of the vessel measured concurrently by the distance sensor. The autofill system closes an electronic valve once a predetermined fill level within the vessel is reached to shut off water flow through a spray head. The predetermined fill level is based on water surface level within the vessel and the top rim surface measured concurrently by the distance sensor relative to the determined interior height of the vessel.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventor: Kevin Pasma
