WIRELESS ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A DOOR INCLUDING FIRST AND SECOND SENSOR BASED LOCK SWITCHING AND RELATED METHODS

摘要

A wireless access control system for a door may include a lock assembly carried by the door. The lock assembly may include a lock switchable between unlocked and locked positions, lock wireless communications circuitry, a first sensor having a first sensing range, and a second sensor having a second sensing range less than the first sensing range. The lock assembly may also include a lock controller configured to perform an authentication of a remote access device remote from the lock, via the lock wireless communications circuitry, when the user approaches the door within the first sensing range, and switch the lock from the locked position to the unlocked position based upon the authentication and when the user further approaches the door within the second sensing range.
