Patent number: 11414894Abstract: A two-wheeler lock, in particular a frame lock, wherein the lock is preferably at least partly drivable in a motorized manner, comprises a sensor for detecting different positions of an element of the lock movable along a defined movement path. The movable element here has a permanent magnet and the sensor is configured as a magnetic sensor. This magnetic sensor is furthermore configured for a three-dimensional magnetic detection to detect positions or movements of the movable element deviating from the defined movement path and/or to detect manipulation attempts by means of external magnets.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2019Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: ABUS AUGUST BREMICKER SÖHNE KGInventors: Marvin Müller, Marcus Kolb

Patent number: 11302131Abstract: The invention relates to a portable lock having an unlocking motor, an authentication module for authenticating a user of the lock by which the unlocking motor can be actuated to unlock the lock on a successful user authentication, and having a transport security element that can be actuated by the user and whose actuation moves the lock into a transport security mode in which an unlocking of the lock is precluded. A further subject matter is a locking system comprising such a lock and a mobile end device by means of which a user of the lock can authenticate himself thereat. The invention furthermore relates to a method of unlocking a mobile lock.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2019Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: ABUS August Bremicker Soehne KGInventors: Marcus Kolb, Marvin Mueller

Patent number: 10981539Abstract: The invention relates to a brake disk lock comprising a brake disk detection device, a sensor for detecting a positional change of the lock, an alarm module that is configured to output an alarm when the sensor detects a relevant positional change of the lock, an unlocking motor for unlocking the lock, an authentication module for a wireless authentication of a user of the lock, and an actuation element that can be actuated by the user and by means of which the authentication module can be activated. A further subject is a locking system comprising such a lock and a mobile end device by means of which a user of the brake disk lock can authenticate himself thereat. The invention further relates to a method of unlocking a brake disk lock.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2019Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: ABUS August Bremicker Soehne KGInventors: Marcus Kolb, Marvin Mueller, Bernd Weiershausen

Patent number: 10861262Abstract: The invention relates to a handheld transmitter having an energy store, a motion sensor for detecting a movement of the handheld transmitter, and a transmission/reception unit for establishing a wireless connection to an electrically actuable portable lock, wherein the handheld transmitter can be switched over between a manual mode in which the connection establishment can only be triggered by the actuation of an actuation element by a user and an automatic mode in which the connection establishment can be triggered by a movement of the handheld transmitter. A further subject of the invention is a locking system comprising such a handheld transmitter and an electrically actuable portable lock. The invention additionally relates to a method of unlocking an electrically actuable portable lock by means of a handheld transmitter.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2019Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: ABUS August Bremicker Soehne KGInventors: Marcus Kolb, Marvin Mueller

Patent number: 10832507Abstract: The invention relates to a locking system comprising an electrically actuable mobile lock and an activation means that comprises a virtual key associated with the lock and that serves, on an interaction with a first mobile end device, to transfer the virtual key to the first mobile end device and to store it therein, with the virtual key serving to establish an encrypted data communication connection between the first mobile end device and the lock to couple the first mobile end device to the lock and to authorize the first mobile end device to actuate the lock. The invention further deals with a method of coupling a mobile end device to an electrically actuable mobile lock for the purpose of actuating the lock by means of the mobile end device.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2019Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: ABUS August Bremicker Soehne KGInventors: Marcus Kolb, Marvin Mueller, Markus Theis
