Abstract
Methods and systems for validating intent to actuate an electronic lock are provided, using comparative gesture processing. One method includes obtaining motion signals representative of physical motion of the mobile device detected by a motion sensor of the mobile device and at an electronic lock. The method includes performing a similarity correlation between the first motion signals and the second motion signals, and, based on the similarity correlation determining that the first motion signals and second motion signals are correlated. Based on the correlation and authentication, the wireless electronic lockset is actuated.

1-20. (canceled)
A wireless electronic lockset comprising:
- a processing unit;
- a locking bolt movable between locked and unlocked positions;
- a motor actuatable by the processing unit to move the locking bolt between the locked and unlocked positions;
- a motion sensor communicatively connected to the processing unit and configured to detect physical motion of the wireless electronic lockset;
- a wireless interface communicatively connected to the processing unit;
- wherein the processing unit is configured to execute instructions to perform:
- receiving, from the motion sensor, first motion signals;
- transmitting motion information to a mobile device based on the first motion signals;
- receiving a lock actuation command from the mobile device in response to a similarity correlation based on the first motion signals and second motion signals captured by the mobile device;
- and
- based on the actuation command received from the mobile device, actuating the motor to move the locking bolt between the locked and unlocked positions.
A system for actuating a wireless electronic lockset, the system comprising:
- a wireless electronic lockset;
- an application installable on a mobile device which, when executed, causes the mobile device to perform:
- capturing, from a motion sensor of the mobile device, first motion signals;
- and
- establishing a secure connection to the wireless electronic lockset;
- wherein the wireless electronic lockset includes a motion sensor and a wireless interface each communicatively connected to a processing unit, the wireless electronic lockset further including a locking bolt movable between locked and unlocked positions and a motor actuatable by the processing unit to move the locking bolt between the locked and unlocked positions, the processing unit executing instructions to perform:
- receiving, from the motion sensor of the mobile device, the first motion signals;
- transmitting motion information to an external device based on the first motion signals;
- receiving a lock actuation command from the external device in response to the external device performing a similarity correlation based on the first motion signals and second motion signals captured by the wireless electronic lockset;
- and
- based on the lock actuation command received from the mobile device, actuating the motor to move the locking bolt between the locked and unlocked positions.
