Abstract
The embodiments presented within provide methods, devices, and systems that improve access control through the use of smart cylinder locks. In one embodiment, a smart cylinder may perform a process including measuring a rotation of a knob, comparing an angle of the rotation with a predetermined value, and engaging a mechanism operatively coupled to a locking device that allows the locking device to unlock when the angle of the rotation matches the predetermined value.
