Abstract
An intelligent door lock system is provided with a position sensing device configured to be coupled to a drive shaft of a lock device. The position sensing device senses position of the drive shaft and assists in locking and unlocking a lock of a lock device. An engine is provided with a memory coupled to the positioning sensing device. A circuit is coupled to the engine and an energy source is coupled to the circuit. A device converts energy into mechanical energy and is coupled to the circuit, positioning sensing device and the drive shaft. The device that converts energy is coupled to the energy source to receive energy from the energy source.
Claims22
An intelligent door lock system at a dwelling with a door, comprising:
- a position sensing device coupled to a drive shaft of a lock device, the position sensing device sensing position of the drive shaft and configured to assist in locking and unlocking a lock of a lock device;
- an engine with a memory coupled to the positioning sensing device and the drive shaft, wherein the memory stored with states of the door that are used with the position sensing device to determine if the door is locked or unlocked, the engine configured to provide energy to the intelligent door lock system for locking and unlocking of the door;
- an energy source configured to provide electrical energy;
- a device coupled to the energy source and the engine, the device configured to convert electrical energy received from the energy source into mechanical energy;
- and
- the intelligent door lock system is in communication with a user's mobile device that communicates with the position sensing device,
- wherein when the user's mobile device is at an exterior of the dwelling and in a close proximity to the dwelling, the drive shaft is caused to rotate by the engine and the energy source to provide an unlocking of the door when the door is in a locked state.
