The unlocking device 40 may be a commercially available smart phone or tablet computer, or the unlocking device 40 may be an electronic key that can be carried around.
The authorized first identification data stored in the first memory 24 may be obtained by transmitting the first identification data stored in the second memory 44 of the unlocking device 40 to the first memory 24 of the electronic lock 20 in advance through the process of pairing the electronic lock 20 and the unlocking device 40 to be stored as authorized first identification data, for example, if the unlocking device 40 is a smart phone, the international mobile equipment identifier of the smart phone is stored in the first memory 24 of the electronic lock 20 in the process of pairing the smart phone and the electronic lock 20, so that the international mobile equipment identifier corresponding to the smart phone becomes an authorized first identification data. For example, a button for pairing or logging in may be provided inside the electronic lock 20, and the button needs to be pressed after the housing of the electronic lock 20 is removed, and the operation for pairing the electronic lock 20 and the unlocking device 40 can be executed after the button is pressed, and the detailed procedure or technique for pairing the other electronic locks 20 and the unlocking device 40 is not required by the present invention, and therefore, it is not necessary to describe in detail.
The additional lock control program is preferably designed to be executed in a background (the lock control program is not displayed on the display unit 54), which is advantageous for the unlocking device 40 and the electronic lock 20 to be quickly connected and for providing a more convenient and quick unlocking operation, and in detail, when the unlocking device 40 is located within the triggering range of the electronic lock 20 in a background execution state after the lock control program is executed, the electronic lock 20 is advantageous for waking up the lock control program (the lock control program is displayed on the display unit 54), and further, the user can input the second identification data according to the operation and guidance of the lock control program to execute the unlocking program for the electronic lock 20.
Referring to fig. 2, a method for wirelessly charging and unlocking an electronic lock according to a first embodiment of the present invention is performed through the electronic lock system 10, and first, an online step is performed, when a portable unlocking device 40 is separated from an electronic lock 20 by a distance smaller than a trigger range, the electronic lock 20 and the unlocking device 40 are automatically online, specifically, when the unlocking device 40 is separated from the electronic lock 20 by a distance larger than the trigger range of the trigger unit 38, the first control module 22 determines that no person is near the electronic lock 20, the first control module 22 controls the first signal transceiver unit 26 to sleep, and if the unlocking device 40 is located within the trigger range of the trigger unit 38 (e.g., within 3 meters), the first control module 22 of the electronic lock 20 wakes up the first signal transceiver unit 26 to cause the first signal transceiver unit 26 and the second signal transceiver unit 46 to be online (controlled by a lock control program) In this state, the unlocking device 40 and the electronic lock 20 can transmit or receive signals or data to or from each other.
After the unlocking device 40 is connected to the electronic lock 20, a step of automatically reading the first identification data is performed, and the electronic lock 20 automatically reads a first identification data stored inside the unlocking device 40 that is connected to the electronic lock 20, that is, after the electronic lock 20 is connected to the unlocking device 40, the unlocking device 40 automatically transmits the first identification data stored inside the second memory 44 to the first signal transceiver unit 26 of the electronic lock 20 through the second signal transceiver unit 46.
After the electronic lock 20 receives the first identification data of the unlocking device 40, a hardware identification step is performed, and the electronic lock 20 compares whether the first identification data matches an authorized first identification data stored inside the electronic lock 20, in detail, the first control module 22 reads at least one authorized first identification data in the first memory 24 and compares the first identification data with the first identification data of the online unlocking device 40.
If the first control module 22 compares that the first identification data does not match all of the at least one authorized identification data, the electronic lock 20 is disconnected from the online unlocking device 40, in detail, in a state where the authorized first identification data does not match the first identification data, the first control module 22 of the electronic lock 20 drives the first signal transceiver unit 26 to disconnect from the second signal transceiver unit 46 of the online unlocking device 40, so that the unlocking device 40 is disconnected from the electronic lock 20, and the first control module 22 of the electronic lock 20 controls the first signal transceiver unit 26 to return to the dormant state, it should be noted that after the electronic lock 20 is disconnected from the unlocking device 40, even if the unlocking device 40 is still within the triggering range of the triggering unit 38, the unlocking device 40 will not be connected to the electronic lock 20, the unlocking device 40 is not brought back into connection with the electronic lock 20 until the unlocking device 40 is moved out of the triggering range of the trigger unit 38 and then moved in again.
If the first control module 22 compares the first identification data with any one of the at least one authorized identification data, a keep-alive procedure is performed.
In a state that the unlocking device 40 and the electronic lock 20 are kept online, a charging step is performed, the electronic lock 20 outputs a charging request signal to the electronic lock 20, and further the unlocking device 40 outputs a charging signal to wirelessly charge a first battery 30 supplying power required for the operation of the electronic lock 20, specifically, the first control module 22 of the electronic lock 20 outputs a charging request signal to the second signal transceiver 46 of the unlocking device 40 through the first signal transceiver 26, and after the second control module 42 of the unlocking device 40 receives the charging request signal from the second signal transceiver 46, the second control module 42 drives the wireless charging transmitter 48 to output a charging signal to the wireless charging receiver 28 of the electronic lock 20, so as to achieve the effect of charging the first battery 30 of the electronic lock 20.
In a state where the unlocking device 40 and the electronic lock 20 are kept online, a wake-up step is synchronously executed in addition to the charging step, so that the electronic lock 20 outputs a wake-up signal to the unlocking device 40, and the unlocking device 40 wakes up a lock control program stored inside the electronic lock, specifically, the first control module 22 of the electronic lock 20 outputs a wake-up signal to the second signal transceiver 46 of the unlocking device 40 through the first signal transceiver 26, and further, after the second control module 42 of the unlocking device 40 receives the wake-up signal from the second signal transceiver 46, an operation interface of the lock control program executed in the background is displayed on a screen of the display unit 54.
When the interface of the lock control program is displayed on the screen of the display unit 54, a second identification data input step is performed to input a second identification data in real time to the electronic lock 20 after waking up the lock control program, and in detail, after the interface of the lock control program is displayed on the screen of the display unit 54, the user is allowed to input a second identification data in real time according to the guidance of the lock control program by using the identification data input unit 52, specifically, the second identification data is not any data stored in the second memory 44 of the unlocking device 40 in advance, but the second identification data is input only when the second identification data input step is performed, the second identification data may be a biological characteristic (such as a fingerprint, an iris, a voice, a face), a set of passwords, a graphic, or other feasible or known data, for example, the unlocking device 40 is a smart phone equipped with a fingerprint capture device as the identification data input unit 52 for performing the second identification data input step, or a touch screen equipped with a smart phone as the identification data input unit 52 (the display unit 54 and the identification data input unit 52 are the same device) may be used, so that performing the second identification data input step can use the touch screen to input a password or a graphic.
After the identification data input unit 52 of the unlocking device 40 is used to input the second identification data in real time, the second identification data is not stored in the second memory 44, and the second identification data is directly transmitted to the first signal transceiver unit 26 of the electronic lock 20 through the second signal transceiver unit 46.
After the electronic lock 20 receives the second identification data transmitted from the unlocking device 40, an unlocking determination step is performed, and after the electronic lock 20 compares whether the received second identification data matches the authorized second identification data stored inside, that is, after the first control module 22 of the electronic lock 20 obtains the identification data from the unlocking device 40, the first control module 22 reads at least one authorized second identification data in the first memory 24 and compares whether the second identification data is the same as one of the authorized second identification data.
If the first control module 22 of the electronic lock 20 compares that the second identification data does not match all of the at least one authorized second identification data, an unlocking rejection step is performed, so that the electronic lock 20 remains in the locked state. In detail, since the lock device 36 is normally in the latched state by default, when the first control module 22 performs the unlocking rejection step, the first control module 22 does not operate the driving unit 34, so that the lock device 36 still maintains the latched position, and further the electronic lock 20 maintains the latched state.
If the first control module 22 of the electronic lock 20 compares that the second identification data matches any one of the at least one authorized second identification data, an unlocking step is performed, which results in unlocking the electronic lock 20. In detail, in the case that the first control module 22 performs the unlocking step, the first control module 22 controls the driving unit 34 to operate, so that the driving unit 34 drives the latch of the lock device 36 to move to the latching position, and thus the electronic lock 20 is set to the unlocked state.
After the electronic lock 20 is set to the unlocked state, if the holder of the unlocking device 40 moves the unlocking device 40 to be outside the triggering range of the triggering unit 38, a resetting step is performed to lock the electronic lock 20. That is, in order to ensure the anti-theft effect of the electronic lock 20, after the electronic lock 20 is unlocked by the unlocking device 40, if the holder of the unlocking device 40 moves away from the electronic lock 20 (e.g. enters a room), so that the unlocking device 40 moves out of the triggering range of the triggering unit 38 along with the movement of the holder, in such a state, the triggering unit 38 of the electronic lock 20 detects that no one of the unlocking device 40 is located within the triggering range, so that the first control module 22 of the electronic lock 20 controls the driving unit 34 to operate, so that the lock device 36 is unlocked by the unlocking operation, and further, the electronic lock 20 returns to the locked state.
The method for wirelessly charging and unlocking the electronic lock according to the first embodiment of the present invention has the advantages that each time the unlocking device 40 operates the electronic lock 20 to unlock, the unlocking device 40 charges the first battery 30 of the electronic lock 20, so that the first battery 30 of the electronic lock 20 can be maintained in a state with sufficient power to provide the electronic lock 20 with operation for a long time, and further, the frequency of the electronic lock 20 losing power and being incapable of operating and replacing the first battery 30 is reduced.
Referring to fig. 3, which shows a method for wirelessly charging and unlocking an electronic lock according to a second embodiment, a main difference of the method for wirelessly charging and unlocking an electronic lock according to the second embodiment is that a power detection unit 32 of the electronic lock system 10 is further used to judge whether the unlocking device 40 wirelessly charges the first battery 30 after the power detection unit 32 detects the remaining power of the first battery 30.
Referring to fig. 3, a method for wirelessly charging and unlocking an electronic lock according to a second embodiment of the present invention first performs an online procedure, when the distance separating an unlocking device 40 and an electronic lock 20 which can be carried with the electronic lock is less than the triggering range, the electronic lock 20 and the unlocking device 40 are automatically connected, in detail, when the unlocking means 40 is spaced apart from the electronic lock 20 by a distance greater than the activation range of the activation unit 38, the first control module 22 determines that no person is near the electronic lock 20, the first control module 22 controls the first signal transceiver 26 to sleep, if the unlocking device 40 is located within the triggering range of the triggering unit 38 (e.g., within 3 meters), the first control module 22 of the electronic lock 20 wakes up the first signal transceiver 26 to cause the first signal transceiver 26 and the second signal transceiver 46 to be online (controlled by the lock control program), in this state, the unlocking means 40 and the electronic lock 20 can transmit or receive signals or data to or from each other.
After the unlocking device 40 is connected to the electronic lock 20, a step of automatically reading the first identification data is performed, and the electronic lock 20 automatically reads a first identification data stored inside the unlocking device 40 that is connected to the electronic lock 20, that is, after the electronic lock 20 is connected to the unlocking device 40, the unlocking device 40 automatically transmits the first identification data stored inside the second memory 44 to the first signal transceiver unit 26 of the electronic lock 20 through the second signal transceiver unit 46.
After the electronic lock 20 receives the first identification data of the unlocking device 40, a hardware identification step is performed, and the electronic lock 20 compares whether the first identification data matches an authorized first identification data stored inside the electronic lock 20, in detail, the first control module 22 reads at least one authorized first identification data in the first memory 24 and compares the first identification data with the first identification data of the online unlocking device 40.
If the first control module 22 compares that the first identification data does not match all of the at least one authorized identification data, the electronic lock 20 is disconnected from the online unlocking device 40, in detail, in a state where the authorized first identification data does not match the first identification data, the first control module 22 of the electronic lock 20 drives the first signal transceiver unit 26 to disconnect from the second signal transceiver unit 46 of the online unlocking device 40, so that the unlocking device 40 is disconnected from the electronic lock 20, and the first control module 22 of the electronic lock 20 controls the first signal transceiver unit 26 to return to the dormant state, it should be noted that after the electronic lock 20 is disconnected from the unlocking device 40, even if the unlocking device 40 is still within the triggering range of the triggering unit 38, the unlocking device 40 will not be connected to the electronic lock 20, the unlocking device 40 is not brought back into connection with the electronic lock 20 until the unlocking device 40 is moved out of the triggering range of the trigger unit 38 and then moved in again.
If the first control module 22 compares the first identification data with any one of the at least one authorized identification data, a keep-alive procedure is performed.
In a state where the unlocking device 40 and the electronic lock 20 are kept online, a step of detecting the residual power is performed, and the electronic lock 20 detects the residual power of a first battery 30 supplying power required by the operation of the electronic lock 20. In detail, the power detecting unit 32 of the electronic lock 20 obtains the remaining power of the first battery 30 as a high remaining power or a low remaining power by detecting the voltage or the current of the first battery 30, where the low remaining power of the first battery 30 is not only a state where the remaining power of the first battery 30 is not available for the electronic lock 20 to operate, but also a state where the remaining power of the first battery 30 is still sufficient for the electronic lock 20 to operate normally for a period of time (for example, the electronic lock 20 can be supported to operate normally for a month without charging the first battery 30).
If the power detecting unit 32 detects that the first battery 30 has a high residual capacity, a non-charging step is performed, the electronic lock 20 does not output a charging request signal to the unlocking device 40, and the unlocking device 40 does not output a charging signal to the electronic lock 20 and does not wirelessly charge the first battery 30. In detail, when the first battery 30 has a high residual capacity, the first control module 22 does not send the charging request signal to the unlocking device 40 through the first signal transceiver 26, and when the unlocking device 40 does not receive the charging request signal from the electronic lock 20, the second control module 42 of the unlocking device 40 does not drive the wireless charging transmitter 48 to output the charging signal, and further, the unlocking device 40 does not wirelessly charge the first battery 30 of the electronic lock 20.
If the power detection unit 32 detects that the first battery 30 has a low residual capacity, a charging step is performed, the electronic lock 20 outputs a charging request signal to the electronic lock 20, and the unlocking device 40 further outputs a charging signal to wirelessly charge a first battery 30 supplying power required for the operation of the electronic lock 20. In detail, when the first battery 30 is in a low residual capacity state, the first control module 22 sends a charging request signal to the unlocking device 40 through the first signal transceiver 26, and after the unlocking device 40 receives the charging request signal from the electronic lock 20, the second control module 42 drives the wireless transmitting unit 48 to send a charging signal to the wireless charging receiving unit 28 of the electronic lock 20, so as to further wirelessly charge the first battery 30.
In the state that the unlocking device 40 and the electronic lock 20 are kept online, a wake-up step is synchronously executed except for the charging step or the non-charging step, so that the electronic lock 20 outputs a wake-up signal to the unlocking device 40, and the unlocking device 40 wakes up a lock control program stored in the electronic lock, specifically, the first control module 22 of the electronic lock 20 outputs a wake-up signal to the second signal transceiver 46 of the unlocking device 40 through the first signal transceiver 26, and after the second control module 42 of the unlocking device 40 receives the wake-up signal from the second signal transceiver 46, an operation interface of the lock control program executed in the background is displayed on the screen of the display unit 54.
When the interface of the lock control program is displayed on the screen of the display unit 54, a second identification data input step is performed to input a second identification data in real time to the electronic lock 20 after waking up the lock control program, and in detail, after the interface of the lock control program is displayed on the screen of the display unit 54, the user is allowed to input a second identification data in real time according to the guidance of the lock control program by using the identification data input unit 52, specifically, the second identification data is not any data stored in the second memory 44 of the unlocking device 40 in advance, but the second identification data is input only when the second identification data input step is performed, the second identification data may be a biological characteristic (such as a fingerprint, an iris, a voice, a face), a set of passwords, a graphic, or other feasible or known data, for example, the unlocking device 40 is a smart phone equipped with a fingerprint capture device as the identification data input unit 52 for performing the second identification data input step, or a touch screen equipped with a smart phone as the identification data input unit 52 (the display unit 54 and the identification data input unit 52 are the same device) may be used, so that performing the second identification data input step can use the touch screen to input a password or a graphic.
After the identification data input unit 52 of the unlocking device 40 is used to input the second identification data in real time, the second identification data is not stored in the second memory 44, and the second identification data is directly transmitted to the first signal transceiver unit 26 of the electronic lock 20 through the second signal transceiver unit 46.
After the electronic lock 20 receives the second identification data transmitted from the unlocking device 40, an unlocking determination step is performed, and after the electronic lock 20 compares whether the received second identification data matches the authorized second identification data stored inside, that is, after the first control module 22 of the electronic lock 20 obtains the identification data from the unlocking device 40, the first control module 22 reads at least one authorized second identification data in the first memory 24 and compares whether the second identification data is the same as one of the authorized second identification data.
If the first control module 22 of the electronic lock 20 compares that the second identification data does not match all of the at least one authorized second identification data, an unlocking rejection step is performed, so that the electronic lock 20 remains in the locked state. In detail, since the lock device 36 is normally in the latched state by default, when the first control module 22 performs the unlocking rejection step, the first control module 22 does not operate the driving unit 34, so that the lock device 36 still maintains the latched position, and further the electronic lock 20 maintains the latched state.
If the first control module 22 of the electronic lock 20 compares that the second identification data matches any one of the at least one authorized second identification data, an unlocking step is performed, which results in unlocking the electronic lock 20. In detail, in the case that the first control module 22 performs the unlocking step, the first control module 22 controls the driving unit 34 to operate, so that the driving unit 34 drives the latch of the lock device 36 to move to the latching position, and thus the electronic lock 20 is set to the unlocked state.
After the electronic lock 20 is set to the unlocked state, if the holder of the unlocking device 40 moves the unlocking device 40 to be outside the triggering range of the triggering unit 38, a resetting step is performed to lock the electronic lock 20. That is, in order to ensure the anti-theft effect of the electronic lock 20, after the electronic lock 20 is unlocked by the unlocking device 40, if the holder of the unlocking device 40 moves away from the electronic lock 20 (e.g. enters a room), so that the unlocking device 40 moves out of the triggering range of the triggering unit 38 along with the movement of the holder, in such a state, the triggering unit 38 of the electronic lock 20 detects that no one of the unlocking device 40 is located within the triggering range, so that the first control module 22 of the electronic lock 20 controls the driving unit 34 to operate, so that the lock device 36 is unlocked by the unlocking operation, and further, the electronic lock 20 returns to the locked state.
Compared with the method for wirelessly charging and unlocking the electronic lock according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the method for wirelessly charging and unlocking the electronic lock according to the second embodiment of the present invention has the advantage that the consumption of the second battery 50 of the unlocking device 40 is slow, specifically, only when the residual charge of the first battery 30 of the electronic lock 20 is a low residual charge, the electronic lock 20 sends the charging request signal to the unlocking device 40, so that the unlocking device 40 does not wirelessly charge the first battery 30 every time the electronic lock 20 is unlocked, the power consumption of the second battery 50 can be further reduced, and the electronic lock 20 can still normally operate, that is, the method for wirelessly charging and unlocking the electronic lock according to the second embodiment of the present invention has the advantages of maintaining the normal operation of the electronic lock 20 and reducing the power consumption of the unlocking device 40.
The method for wirelessly charging and unlocking an electronic lock according to embodiments of the present invention has the advantages of conveniently and quickly operating the electronic lock 20 to unlock the electronic lock 20, and in detail, the unlocking device 40 needs to be connected to the electronic lock 20 through the lock control program and operate the electronic lock 20 to unlock the electronic lock 20, and one feature of the present invention is that the lock control program is executed in the background (not displayed on the screen of the display unit 54), when the unlocking device 40 is located within the trigger range of the trigger unit 38 of the electronic lock 20, the electronic lock 20 automatically reads the first identification data of the unlocking device 40 and compares the first identification data with the authorized unlocking device 40 (having the logged-in unlocking device), if the unlocking device 40 is the authorized unlocking device 40, the electronic lock 20 automatically outputs a wake-up signal to the unlocking device to enable the unlocking device 40 to wake up the lock control program (displayed on the screen of the display unit 54), and a further user can directly input the second identification data to the electronic lock 20 by using the identification data input unit 52 of the unlocking device In the unlocking operation, only the action of inputting the second identification data in the series of steps needs to be performed manually by the user, and the rest steps are performed automatically by the electronic lock 20 and the unlocking device 40, so that the advantage of operating the electronic lock 20 quickly and easily can be achieved.
Furthermore, the method for wirelessly charging and unlocking an electronic lock according to embodiments of the present invention has a high security benefit that the electronic lock 20 is not easily cracked even after the unlocking device 40 is lost, and in particular, because the unlocking device 40 needs to be used to input the second identification data in real time to operate the electronic lock 20 in the unlocked state, the second identification data input by the finder cannot be matched with the at least one authorized identification data in the electronic lock 20 (because the second identification data of the finder is not stored in the first memory 24 of the electronic lock 20), even if the person who picks up the unlocking device 40 wants to unlock the electronic lock 20 by holding the unlocking device 40, the second identification data is not matched with the at least one authorized second identification data, and thus the method for wirelessly charging and unlocking an electronic lock according to embodiments of the present invention also has a high security.
While the basic teachings of the present invention have been described, numerous extensions and variations will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. For example, the method for wirelessly charging and unlocking the electronic lock of the first and second embodiments may not include the charging step, that is, the stay online step is performed while only the wake-up step is further performed without performing the charging step, and in such a state, the method for wirelessly charging and unlocking the electronic lock of the first embodiment still has the advantage that the unlocking device 40 can conveniently and quickly operate the electronic lock 20 to unlock. In addition, the method for wirelessly charging and unlocking the electronic lock according to the second embodiment may not include the step of detecting the remaining power, the step of charging, and the step of not charging, that is, the step of keeping online is performed while only the step of waking up is further performed without performing the step of charging, and in such a state, the method for wirelessly charging and unlocking the electronic lock according to the first embodiment still has the advantage that the unlocking device 40 can conveniently and quickly operate the electronic lock 20 to unlock.
The foregoing description is intended to be illustrative rather than limiting, and it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that many modifications, variations, or equivalents may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
