Abstract:
Determining a position of a deadbolt used to lock and unlock a door is disclosed. An electromechanical lock can include a deadbolt that can retract or extend along a linear path as the door is to be locked and unlocked. A sensor such as an accelerometer can rotate along a non-linear path as the deadbolt moves along a linear path. The accelerometer can determine a gravity vector that can be indicative of a position of the accelerometer along the non-linear path. A controller can then determine a position of the deadbolt based on the gravity vector.

Claim (Index 18):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a sensor configured to rotate along a first path as a door switches between an unlock state and a lock state, and configured to generate positional data indicative of a position of the sensor along the first path; a deadbolt configured to extend along a second path to set the door in the unlock state, and configured to retract along the second path to set the door in the lock state, the first path and the second path being different; a motor configured to cause the deadbolt to extend or retract along the second path; and a controller configured to obtain the positional data from the sensor and determine a position of the deadbolt along the second path, and configured to operate the motor to extend or retract the deadbolt based on the positional data.
