Abstract

An intelligent door lock system includes a position sensing device at a dwelling configured to be coupled to a drive shaft of a lock device to assist in locking and unlocking a lock of a lock device. An engine has a memory, and the engine is coupled to the positioning sensing device. An energy source is provided. A security system includes a motion detection device, and a camera coupled to an analytics engine to look for a person or thing at or near a door or window at the dwelling. In response to the detection of a person or thing at or near the door or window of the dwelling the camera is activated from a sleep state to an active state.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An intelligent door lock system, comprising:
a position sensing device at a dwelling configured to be coupled a drive shaft of a lock device to assist in locking and unlocking a lock of a lock device; an engine with a memory, the engine being coupled to the positioning sensing device; an energy source; a security system that includes a motion detection device, and a camera coupled to an analytics engine to look for a person or thing at or near a door or window at the dwelling; and wherein in response to the detection of a person or thing at or near the door or window of the dwelling the camera is activated from a sleep state to an active state.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the analytics engine includes a person detection module.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein in response to an action taken by the analytics engine the camera becomes activated when a person or thing is detected.

4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein when activated the camera is set to take a picture or video with one or more frames.

5 . The system of claim 3 , wherein in response to the action taken by the analytics engine latency of the security system is reduced.

6 . The system of claim 2 , wherein in response to an action taken by the person detection module engine the camera becomes activated when a person is detected.

7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein when activated the camera is set to take a picture or video with one or more frames.

8 . The system of claim 5 , wherein in response to the action taken by the person detection module latency of the security system is reduced.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein in response to an action taken by motion detection system the camera becomes activated when a person or thing is detected.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein when activated the camera is set to take a picture or video with one or more frames.

11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein in response to the action taken by the motion detection system latency of the security system is reduced.

12 . The system of claim 3 , wherein in response to the action taken by the analytics engine power consumption of the security system is reduced.

13 . The system of claim 5 , wherein in response to the action taken by the person detection module power consumption of the security system is reduced.

14 . The system of claim 6 , wherein in response to the action taken by the motion detection system power consumption of the security system is reduced.

15 . A method of reducing latency of an intelligent door lock system, comprising:
Providing an intelligent door lock system that includes a position sensing device at a dwelling configured to be coupled to a drive shaft of a lock device to assist in locking and unlocking a lock of a lock device; using an engine with a memory, the engine being coupled to the positioning sensing device; using a security system that includes a motion detection device, and a camera coupled to an analytics engine to look for a person or thing at or near a door or window at the dwelling; and in response to the detection of a person or thing at or near the door or window of the dwelling, activating the camera from a sleep state to an active state.

16 . The method of claim 1 further using a person detection module of the analytics engine.

17 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
activating the camera when a person or thing is detected in response to an action taken by the analytics engine.

18 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
activating the camera to take a picture or video with one or more frames.

19 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
Reducing latency of the security system in response to the action taken by the analytics engine.

20 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
activating the camera when a person is detected in response to an action taken by the person detection module.

21 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
taking a picture or video with one or more frames in response to the camera being activated.

22 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
reducing latency of the security system in response to the action taken by the person detection module.

23 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
activating the camera when a person or thing is detected in response to an action taken by motion detection system.

24 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
taking a picture or video with one or more frames in response to the camera being activated.

25 . The method of claim 1 , wherein in response to the action taken by the motion detection system latency of the security system is reduced.

26 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
reducing power consumption of the security system in response to the action taken by the analytics engine.

27 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
reducing power consumption of the security system in response to the action taken by the person detection module.

28 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
reducing power consumption of the security system in response to the action taken by the motion detection system.
