Abstract
A robotic door lock includes a lockable spinner having a spinner shell coupled to a bolt rail and an axial profile coupled to a door handle or knob. A processor selectively engages the spinner shell with the axial profile via an actuator to enable the manipulation of the bolt. The robotic lock has a wireless module, an actuator, and a processor in communication with the actuator and a wireless module. The wireless module uses a wireless energy harvester configured to receive energy from a user device or a post infrastructure to power the processor, the actuator and the memory. The wireless energy harvester may be connected to an internal energy storage.
Claims40
A robotic lock, comprising:
- a wireless module comprising an electromagnetic coupling circuit;
- an energy storage coupled to the electromagnetic coupling circuit;
- a microprocessor coupled to the energy storage;
- a memory coupled to the microprocessor;
- at least one faceplate;
- a lockable spinner having a spinner engagement shell, the lockable spinner further having a shaft, the shaft being supported by the at least one faceplate configured to support the rotational movement of the shaft;
- a door handle attached to the shaft;
- a bolt attached to the spinner engagement shell for selective movement between a retracted position and an extended position;
- an actuator coupled to the microprocessor, the actuator being positioned on the spinner engagement shell;
- the actuator further being linked to a lock engagement;
- wherein the microprocessor is configured to instruct the actuator at a first time to move the lock engagement into a first position to couple the spinner engagement shell and the shaft and engage the door handle;
- and
- wherein the microprocessor is configured to instruct the actuator at a second time to move the lock engagement into a second position to decouple the spinner engagement shell and the shaft and disengage the door handle;
- and
- wherein, when the lock engagement is in the first position, the door handle manipulates the bolt between the extended position and the retracted position;
- wherein, when the lock engagement is in the second position, the door handle does not manipulate the bolt;
- wherein the electromagnetic coupling circuit comprises a resonant inductive-capacitive circuit;
- and
- wherein the resonance of the resonant inductive-capacitive circuit is arranged to be tuned based on semantic inference and semantic resonance.
