Electronic remotely-controlled inswing portable door lock

A remotely controlled inswing portable door lock apparatus for an inswing door having an in-room side and an out-room side;

• having a strike plate, the strike plate having an aperture, the apparatus comprising:
• a blade including a barb at a distal end and a tang at a proximal end, wherein the barb is configured to be disposed within the aperture of a strike plate to hold the apparatus in the strike plate aperture such that the blade and barb support the apparatus in a vertical, stand-alone, portably mounted position to the strike plate while the inswing door is in an open position;
• a body having a top and a bottom, wherein the body is operably coupled to the tang of the blade;
• a paddle moveably coupled to the body and configured to selectively move between a first orientation substantially flush with the top of the body and a second orientation protruding from the top of the body wherein the door may be slam locked over the open paddle from the out-room side;
• a remotely controllable electronics module coupled to the body and configured to operate an electromechanical actuator in cooperation with the paddle from the out-room side and configured to remotely and selectively position the paddle between the first orientation and the second orientation, and wherein the paddle will return to the second orientation after being temporarily displaced to the first orientation, allowing exit of the in-room side to the out-room side, followed by the slam lock.
