Lock Assembly Communication for Coordinated Door Operations

The patent integrates communication means directly into the existing lock electronic device and counter-lock electronic device, merging the communication function with the locking control function. This allows the lock and counter-lock to exchange data and coordinates their locking/unlocking operations without requiring separate communication hardware, thus improving reliability while managing device complexity.

The electronic devices in the lock and counter-lock are designed to perform multiple functions: traditional locking control and data exchange. By making the electronic devices universal, the patent enables coordinated operations without adding dedicated separate communication devices, addressing the contradiction between reliability improvement and complexity increase.

The patent combines bidirectional communication capability into the existing electronic devices of the lock and counter-lock systems. By integrating the communication function rather than adding separate communication modules, the patent achieves synchronized door operations while minimizing the increase in manufacturing cost.

The lock and counter-lock electronic devices serve themselves by performing both locking control and communication functions. This self-service approach allows bidirectional communication to be implemented using the existing electronic infrastructure, reducing the need for additional components and thereby controlling manufacturing costs while achieving synchronized operations.
