A wireless electromechanical lock with one or more of an internal antenna, touch activation, and/or a light communication device that acts as a user interface. In some embodiments, the lock utilizes an antenna near the exterior face of the lockset, designed inside the metal body of the lockset itself. A light communication device is provided in some embodiments to communicate information, visually, to the user via animations and dynamic displays of light. In some embodiments, the lockset includes a touch activation capability, which can be used to lock/unlock the lock and/or otherwise provide input.

1. A lockset comprising: a latch assembly including a bolt movable between an extended position and a retracted position;a controller configured to electronically control movement of the bolt between the extended position and the retracted position;an interior assembly including a turn piece for manually actuating the bolt between the extended position and the retracted position;an exterior assembly including a mechanical lock assembly configured to manually move the bolt between the extended position and the retracted position, wherein the exterior assembly includes a light communication device with a plurality of independently controllable regions in electrical communication with the controller;wherein the controller is configured to actuate multiple of the regions in a predefined configuration to identify a condition of the lockset; andwherein at least a portion of the region of the light communication device are arranged in a ring-like shape. 2. The lockset as recited in claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to actuate the predefined configuration by adjusting one or more of: (a) illumination of multiple regions of the light communication device, (b) intensity of multiple regions of the light communication device, or (c) color of multiple regions of the light communication device. 3. The lockset as recited in claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to actuate the predefined configuration by sequentially adjusting adjacent regions of the light communication device in one or more of: (a) illumination, (b) intensity, or (c) color. 4. The lockset as recited in claim 1, wherein the light communication device includes at least three regions and wherein the controller is configured to sequentially adjust the least three regions in one or more of: (a) illumination, (b) intensity, or (c) color. 5. The lockset as recited in claim 4, wherein the controller is configured to sequentially adjust adjacent regions in a first order to identify a first condition of the lockset. 6. The lockset as recited in claim 5, wherein the controller is configured to sequentially adjust adjacent regions in a second order to identify a second condition of the lockset, wherein the second order is opposite of the first order. 7. The lockset as recited in claim 6, wherein the first order is indicative of a first direction of movement of the bolt. 8. The lockset as recited in claim 7, wherein the second order is indicative of a second direction of movement of the bolt. 9. The lockset as recited in claim 8, wherein the first direction is indicative of a direction of bolt movement from the extended position to the retracted position. 10. The lockset as recited in claim 9, wherein the second direction is indicative of a direction of bolt movement from the retracted position to the extended position. 11. The lockset as recited in claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to actuate the predefined configuration by adjusting one or more of: (a) illumination of multiple regions of the light communication device, (b) intensity of multiple regions of the light communication device, or (c) color of multiple regions of the light communication device. 12. The lockset as recited in claim 11, wherein the controller is configured to sequentially adjust adjacent regions in a generally clockwise fashion to indicate movement of the bolt in a first direction. 13. The lockset as recited in claim 12, wherein the controller is configured to sequentially adjust adjacent regions in a generally counter-clockwise fashion to indicate movement of the bolt in a second direction opposite of the first direction. 14. The lockset as recited in claim 11, wherein the exterior assembly includes a cylinder guard cover having a generally frustoconical shape and wherein the light communication device is generally concentric to a frustum of the cylinder guard cover. 15. The lockset as recited in claim 1, wherein the predefined configuration is indicative of an action currently being processed by the controller. 16. The lockset as recited in claim 1, wherein the predefined configuration is indicative of a request for user input by the controller. 17. The lockset as recited in claim 1, wherein the predefined configuration is indicative of a status of the lockset. 18. The lockset as recited in claim 1, wherein the exterior assembly includes a cylinder guard cover electrically coupled with the controller such that the cylinder guard cover acts as a capacitive touch surface input to the controller. 19. The lockset as recited in claim 1, further comprising an antenna disposed in an internal cavity of the exterior assembly that is electrically coupled with the controller.
