Access control system with dynamic performance tuning
A method of dynamically changing a mode of advertising for at least one of a multiple of access controls, including transmitting advertisements from an access control at a nominal mode; and changing the nominal mode in response to a pre-set schedule.
1. A method of dynamically changing a mode of advertising, comprising:
transmitting advertisements via Bluetooth® low energy (BTLE) which is receivable by a mobile device from an electromechanical lock according to a nominal mode of a pre-set schedule that achieves a desired battery life; and
changing the nominal mode of the pre-set schedule to an adjustable schedule, wherein the adjustable schedule is selected in response to commands received from a remote device.
2. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein selecting the adjustable schedule, to adjust the performance setting from the nominal condition, is performed on an as-needed basis by the remote device.
3. The method as recited in claim 2 , further comprising selecting the adjustable schedule in response to building occupancy.
4. The method as recited in claim 2 , further comprising selecting the adjustable schedule in response to a mobile device user behavior.
5. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising selecting the adjustable schedule in response to a hotel guest check in event.
6. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising overriding the pre-set schedule for a period of time in response to an event.
7. The method as recited in claim 6 , wherein the event comprising a deadbolt of the electromechanical lock being closed slowing the advertising rate less than nominal.
8. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising resuming the pre-set schedule in response to a deadbolt of the electromechanical lock being in an open state.
9. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the remote device comprises one of a set-top box, a thermostat, a controller, or a gateway device that connects to the electromechanical lock.
10. The method as recited in claim 9 , wherein the remote device is operable to adjust the mode or schedule of advertising from the nominal mode on an as-needed or on-going basis.
11. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising selecting the adjustable schedule in response to a hotel guest check out event.
12. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising resuming the pre-set schedule in response to a hotel guest check out event.
