Publication number: 20230203848Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include a magnetic insertable lock component with a magnet-sensing lock housing. By using a magnet within a pin and a magnetic field sensor within the lock housing, the apparatus may accurately detect the state of the lock. In some embodiments, the apparatus may determine the pin is inserted fully into the lock, the pin is inserted partially into the lock, the pin is not inserted in the lock, and/or that a foreign object that is not the pin is inserted into the lock. By using a magnet within the pin to track the state of the lock, the apparatus may improve both the user experience and the security of the lock. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2023Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventors: Peter Rex Luedtke, Andrew Paul Rosenkranz, Richard Stephen Chelminski, James Jeng-Yeu Peng
