Electronic lock with door orientation sensing
Door sensor hardware is provided that automatically senses the orientation of a door. The door sensor hardware includes electronic circuitry and sensor(s). The sensor(s) determine a current orientation of a door (open, closed, ajar), recent movement, door swing speed, and door acceleration. The door sensor hardware is in communication with at least remote device. The remote device includes a user display to facilitate calibration of the door sensor hardware by a user. The remote device also provides the user with the door orientation as determined by the door sensor hardware.
1. A door hardware assembly comprising:
door hardware including at least one of a lock assembly, a door hinge, or a door handle;
a door orientation detection circuit including a controller and one or more sensors, the door orientation detection circuit configured to:
generate door position data indicative of a relative orientation of the door with respect to a door jamb; and
calibrate the one or more sensors by:
generating a prompt to close the door;
storing a first position of the door as a closed position in response to receiving an acknowledgement that the door is closed;
generating a prompt to open the door; and
storing a second position of the door as an opened position in response to receiving an acknowledgement that the door is opened;
wherein at least a portion of the door orientation detection circuit is integral with the door hardware.
2. The door hardware assembly of claim 1 , wherein the door orientation detection circuit is configured to wirelessly transmit the door position data to a remote device.
3. The door hardware assembly of claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to transmit the door position data in response to detecting a change in door orientation.
4. The door hardware assembly of claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to transmit the door position data in response to detecting a change in door orientation in excess of a predetermined threshold.
5. The door hardware assembly of claim 4 , wherein the predetermined threshold comprises a user-selected threshold.
6. The door hardware assembly of claim 2 , wherein the remote device comprises a mobile device of a user.
7. The door hardware assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a wireless communication interface communicatively connectable to a mobile device.
8. The door hardware assembly of claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensors includes at least one sensor selected from the group consisting of: a magnetometer, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, an inertial measurement unit, and an eCompass.
9. The door hardware assembly of claim 1 , wherein the door position data includes at least one of an orientation of the door, door swing speed, or door acceleration.
10. The door hardware assembly of claim 1 , wherein the door orientation detection circuit is integral with the door hardware.
11. The door hardware assembly of claim 1 , further comprising, based on the first position and the second position, the controller and one or more sensors are configured to detect a current position of the door relative to the door jamb when the door hardware is installed on the door.
12. A door orientation system comprising:
a mobile application executable on a mobile device;
an electronic lock mountable to a door, the electronic lock including:
a bolt movable between locked and unlocked positions via a motor;
a controller configured to actuate the motor in response to an actuation command received from the mobile device;
one or more sensors configured to generate door position data indicative of a relative orientation of the door with respect to a doorjamb;
wherein the electronic lock operates cooperatively with the mobile application to calibrate the one or more sensors by:
generating a prompt to close the door;
storing a first position of the door as a closed position in response to receiving an acknowledgement that the door is closed;
generating a prompt to open the door; and
storing a second position of the door as an opened position in response to receiving an acknowledgement that the door is opened.
13. The door orientation system of claim 12 , wherein generating the prompt to close the door further includes displaying the prompt on a user interface of the mobile device.
14. The door orientation system of claim 13 , wherein the acknowledgement that the door is closed is received from a user at the user interface.
15. The door orientation system of claim 12 , wherein generating the prompt to open the door further includes displaying the prompt on a user interface of the mobile device.
16. The door orientation system of claim 15 , wherein the acknowledgement that the door is opened is received from a user at the user interface.
17. The door orientation system of claim 12 , further comprising a wireless broadcast token positioned at a predetermined location relative to the one or more sensors.
18. The door orientation system of claim 12 , wherein the mobile device is wirelessly connectable to a wireless interface of the electronic lock.
19. The door orientation system of claim 12 , wherein the electronic lock operates cooperatively with the mobile application to detect a relative position of the door between the opened position and the closed position.
