Method for operating an intelligent door knob
First Claim
1. A method for operating a door lock system with a knob at a dwelling, comprising:
- providing an apparatus that controls transmission of displacement or rotational mechanical energy;
coupling a bolt coupled to a door, and coupling the bolt to an input rod and an output rod;
using the bolt to lock and unlock a door in response transmission of displacement or delivery of rotational mechanical energy;
coupling at least one of an interior or exterior knob to the bolt and the apparatus that controls transmission of displacement or rotational mechanical energy;
using an energy source that is coupled to the apparatus that controls transmission of displacement or rotational mechanical energy;
using a wireless communication device to communicate with a user'"'"'s mobile device;
using a position sensing device to sense position of a drive shaft of the door lock system to assists in locking and unlocking the bolt in response to communication with the user'"'"'s mobile device;
using an engine with a memory coupled to the wireless communication device and the energy source, the engine executing instructions received from the user'"'"'s mobile device to execute operation of the door lock system;
the door lock system configured to provide that when the user'"'"'s mobile device is at an exterior of the dwelling and in a close proximity to the dwelling the user'"'"'s mobile device is utilized to unlock the door; and
providing authorization with the mobile device to engage the apparatus that controls transmission of displacement or rotational mechanical energy and allows a door user to manually open the door.

Abstract
A method is provided for operating a door lock system with a knob. An apparatus controls transmission of displacement or rotational mechanical energy. A bolt is coupled to a door and the bolt is coupled to an input rod and an output rod. The bolt locks and unlocks a door in response transmission of displacement or delivery of rotational mechanical energy. At least one of an interior or exterior knob is coupled to the bolt and the apparatus that controls transmission of displacement or rotational mechanical energy. An energy source is used that is coupled to the apparatus that controls transmission of displacement or rotational mechanical energy. A wireless communication device is used to communication with a mobile device. Authorization is provided with the mobile device to engage the apparatus that controls transmission of displacement or rotational mechanical energy and allows a door user to manually open the door.
