Abstract

A wireless access control system is provided to lock or unlock a first door at a dwelling. A remote access device transmits a first signal and a second signal. The user remote access device is configured to be in communication with: an apparatus that controls transmission of displacement or rotational mechanical energy, a bolt coupled to the first door with the bolt coupled to an input rod and an output rod, where in operation the bolt locks and unlocks the first door, an energy source coupled to the apparatus that controls transmission of displacement or rotational mechanical energy, a wireless communication device to communicate with the user remote access device, a drive shaft associated with the first door that assists in locking and unlocking the bolt in response to communication with the user's user remote access device and receiving the first signal. The user remote access device is configured to be in communication with a second lock at a vehicle of the user or at an office of the user. The user remote access device is configured to communicate with the second lock with the second signal to cause the second lock to lock or be unlocked. The remote access device has a controller for generating the first and second signals.

Claims (21)

1. A wireless access control system to lock or unlock a first door at a dwelling, comprising:

a remote access device transmitting a first signal and a second signal;

the user remote access device in communication with a door lock system that controls transmission of displacement or rotational mechanical energy of a door lock system drive shaft, the drive shaft associated with the first door and assists in locking and unlocking a bolt in response to receiving the first signal, the bolt coupled to the first door with the bolt coupled to the drive shaft, in operation the bolt locks and unlocks the first door, the door lock system including an energy source coupled to an apparatus that controls transmission of displacement or rotational mechanical energy for the door lock system drive shaft, the door lock system further including a wireless communication device;

the user remote access device in communication with a second lock at a vehicle of the user or at an office of the user, # in response to the second signal the second lock is locked or unlocked; and

wherein the remote access device has a controller for generating the first and second signals.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first and second signals are different.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first and second signals are the same.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user remote access device includes audio circuitry.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user remote access device includes a speaker.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the speaker converts an electrical signal to a human audible sound.

7. The system of claim 5 , wherein the user remote access device includes a microphone.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user remote access device includes a touch screen.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the user remote access device includes a display controller.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the touch screen has a touch-sensitive surface.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user remote access device includes a touchpad.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the remote access device includes a power system.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the remote access device includes a power management system.

14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the remote access device includes one or more sensors.

15. The system of claim 1 , wherein the remote access device includes an optical sensor.

16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the remote access device includes a proximity sensor.

17. The system of claim 1 , wherein the remote access device is a mobile device.
