Patent number: 10544624Abstract: A system for a closure lock comprises a battery-powered remote module with a lock mechanism for operating the lock, the remote module communicating with a base station coupled to a closure controller, the base station able to send lock control signals to the remote module to operate the lock. The module is arranged to have an operation mode and a non-operation mode, power consumption in the non-operation mode being lower than that in the operation mode, and is further configured to switch between the modes based on instructions from the base station. In the non-operation mode, the module maintains a communication link with the base station based on a pre-established synchronisation protocol. The invention provides reliability against interference between base station and remote module, whilst greatly limiting the power consumption of the remote module.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2017Date of Patent: January 28, 2020Inventors: Geoffrey Baker, Raymond Hawkins, Serguei Pimenov
