Abstract

The lock is operated via an electronic key (2) with a store and a transmitter (4) for supplying the opening code signal. The opening code signal is compared upon reception with the correct code signal provided by a store within the lock to provide a switch signal for operating the lock when the two codes match. The switch signal provided by the lock control (3) is used to activate a random signal generator (16) which transmits an interrogation code to the key (2). The key has a code comparator (6) for comparing a stored response word with the interrogation code to activate the transmitter (4) for transmitting the response word to the receiver (10) incorporated in the lock control (3). The receiver (10) is linked to a code checker which compares it with the random signal fed into the lock control store (11), to operate the lock bolt.

Description

La présente invention concerne un système de serrure électronique, en particulier pour véhicules automobiles, qui comprend, d'une part, une clé électronique comportant une mémoire et un émetteur produisant des signaux de code d'ouverture et, d'autre part, une unité de commande de serrure comportant un comparateur de codes, qui compare le signal de code d'ouverture reçu avec un signal de code stocké dans une mémoire morte, comparateur qui, lorsqu'il y a concordance entre ces deux signaux de code, engendre un signal de commutation, ladite unité de commande de serrure comportant en outre un générateur dit ici "aléatoire", c'est-a-dire fonctionnant aléatoirement en engendrant des signaux de code aléatoires, qui activent la mémoire de la clé électronique. The present invention relates to an electronic lock system, in particular for motor vehicles, which comprises, on the one hand, an electronic key comprising a memory and a transmitter producing opening code signals and, on the other hand, a unit lock control device comprising a code comparator, which compares the opening code signal received with a code signal stored in a read-only memory, comparator which, when there is agreement between these two code signals, generates a signal switching, said lock control unit further comprising a generator called here "random", that is to say operating randomly by generating random code signals, which activate the memory of the electronic key.

Un système de serrure de ce genre est connu d'après la demande de brevet allemand publiée avant examen sous le nO 30 06 128. Dans ce système de serrure comportant un grand nombre de variantes de codage possibles et, par conséquent assurant une grande sécurité contre les effractions, la mémoire de la clé électronique est reliée, par l'intermédiaire d'une pluralité de contacts électriques disposes sur celle-ci, a l'unité de commande de serrure. L'unité de commande de serrure compare le signal de code reçu transmis à partir de la mémoire de la clé avec un signal prédéterminé côté serrure. Si le signal stocké dans la mémoire morte de l'unité de commande de serrure concorde avec le signal de code reçu, l'unité de commande de serrure engendre un signal de commutation, qui ouvre la serrure.En revanche, lors du processus de fermeture, l'unité de commande de serrure connecte, en cas de concordance, un générateur aléatoire aux mémoires de la clé électronique et de ladite unité de commande de serrure elle-même, tandis que les signaux de code en gendres par ledit générateur aléatoire sont écrits dans les mémoires, de sorte que c' est seulement après cette opération d'écriture que l'unité de commande de serrure engendre un signal de commutation, qui ferme la serrure. De cette manière, le secret de la clé est automatiquement modifié pendant chaque opération de fermeture effectuée par l'unité de commande de serrure, moyennant quoi le système de serrure ne peut être actionné exclusivement que par la clé utilisée pendant l'opération de fermeture immédiatement précédente. A lock system of this kind is known from the German patent application published before examination under No. 30 06 128. In this lock system comprising a large number of possible coding variants and therefore ensuring high security against break-ins, the memory of the electronic key is connected, via a plurality of electrical contacts arranged thereon, to the lock control unit. The lock control unit compares the received code signal transmitted from the key memory with a predetermined signal on the lock side. If the signal stored in the ROM of the lock control unit agrees with the received code signal, the lock control unit generates a switching signal, which opens the lock. However, during the closing process , the lock control unit connects, in the event of a match, a random generator to the memories of the electronic key and of said lock control unit itself, while the code signals in gender by said random generator are written in the memories, so that it is only after this writing operation that the lock control unit generates a switching signal, which closes the lock. In this way, the secret of the key is automatically changed during each closing operation carried out by the lock control unit, whereby the lock system can be actuated exclusively only by the key used during the immediately closing operation. former.

L'invention a pour objet d'agencer un système de serrure du genre précité d'une autre manière de telle façon que, tout en assurant lui aussi une grande sécurité contre les effractions, il puisse en outre être actionné par plusieurs clés identiques. The object of the invention is to arrange a lock system of the aforementioned type in another way in such a way that, while also ensuring great security against break-ins, it can also be actuated by several identical keys.

A cet effet, suivant l'invention, le signal de commutation active la mémoire morte de l'unité de commande de serrure de manière à assurer l'application d'un code d'interrogation au générateur aleatoire ; celui-ci transmet le code d'interrogation chiffré sous forme de signaux de code aléatoires à la clé électronique qui, par l'intermédiaire d'un comparateur de codes, compare un code de réponse stocké dans la mémoire de la clé électronique avec le code d'interrogation reçu sous forme de signaux de code aléatoires et, si ledit code de réponse et ledit code d'interrogation sont confirmés, transmet, par l'intermédiaire de l'émetteur, un signal de code de réponse au récepteur de l'unitéde commande de serrure, dont le comparateur de codes compare, et dont une unité d'exploitation de données exploite le signal de code aléatoire transmis et écrit dans la mémoire morte par rapport au signal de code de réponse, après quoi, s'il y a confirmation de ces deux derniers codes, un signal est engendré par l'unité de commande de serrure pour assurer l'actionnement du verrou de la serrure. To this end, according to the invention, the switching signal activates the read-only memory of the lock control unit so as to ensure the application of an interrogation code to the random generator; this transmits the encrypted interrogation code in the form of random code signals to the electronic key which, via a code comparator, compares a response code stored in the memory of the electronic key with the code interrogation received in the form of random code signals and, if said response code and said interrogation code are confirmed, transmits, via the transmitter, a response code signal to the receiver of the unit lock command, with which the code comparator compares, and with which a data processing unit uses the random code signal transmitted and written in the read-only memory with respect to the response code signal, after which, if there is confirmation of these last two codes, a signal is generated by the lock control unit to ensure actuation of the lock bolt.

Grâce à ces disposltions, le système de serrure peut être actionné par plusieurs clés identiques, dans la mesure ot celles ci sont programmées dans leur mémoire, chacune avec les mêmes codes d'ouverture et de réponse. La grande sécurité contre les effractions est assurée grâce au fait que le code de dialogue entre la clé électronique et gunite de commande de serrure est constamment modifié par l'interposition du générateur aléatoire, de sorte qu'une utilisation du dialogue enregistré par une personne non -autorisée ne permet pas le déverrouillage de la porte ou de la portière. Thanks to these arrangements, the lock system can be actuated by several identical keys, insofar as these are programmed in their memory, each with the same opening and response codes. High security against break-ins is ensured by the fact that the dialogue code between the electronic key and the gun control lock is constantly modified by the interposition of the random generator, so that a use of the dialogue recorded by a person not -authorized does not allow unlocking of the door or the door.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention ressortiront de la description qui va suivre, faite en référence au dessin annexé sur lequel
la figure unique représente un schéma simplifié du système de serrure suivant l'invention, constitué par une clé électronique et par une unité de commande de serrure.
Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will emerge from the description which follows, given with reference to the attached drawing in which
the single figure shows a simplified diagram of the lock system according to the invention, consisting of an electronic key and a lock control unit.

Le système de serrure électronique 1 comprend une clé électronique 2 et une unité de commande de serrure 3, la clé électronique 2 étant essentiellement constituée par un émetteur 4, une mémoire 5, un compare rateur de codes 6 et une unité de commande de données 7 comportant un dispositif de sortie de données 8, tandis que l'unité de commande de serrure 3 est constituée par une unité fonctionnelle électronique 9 (comprenant un récepteur 10, une mémoire morte 11 un comparateur de codes 12, une unité d'exploitation de données 13, un compteur-interrupteur horaire 14 et un élément d'interdiction 15) et par un générateur aléatoire 16.Tous les composants sont interconnectés de la manière fonctionnellement nécessaire (comme cela est montré sur la figure annexée pour les connexions -principales).  The electronic lock system 1 comprises an electronic key 2 and a lock control unit 3, the electronic key 2 essentially consisting of a transmitter 4, a memory 5, a code comparator 6 and a data control unit 7 comprising a data output device 8, while the lock control unit 3 is constituted by an electronic functional unit 9 (comprising a receiver 10, a read only memory 11 a code comparator 12, a data processing unit 13, a time switch-counter 14 and a prohibition element 15) and by a random generator 16. All the components are interconnected in the functionally necessary manner (as shown in the appended figure for the main connections).

Si, par exemple, la serrure 17 de la porte d'un vehicule automobile doit étire déverrouillée, la clé électronique 2 transmet, par l'intermédiaire de son émetteur a, un signal de code d'ouverture 18 programmé à demeure dans la mémoire 5, par exemple sous la forme d'un signal infrarouge, ultrasonore ou radio, au récepteur 10 de l'unité de commande de serrure 3. Le comparateur de codes 12 de celle-ci compare le signal de code d'ouverture 18 reçu avec un signal de code stocké à demeure dans la mémoire morte 11.Si les deux signaux de code concordent, alors l'unité d'exploitation de données 13 engendre signal de commutation qui active la mémoire morte il de façon qu'elle applique le code d'interrogation 19, stocké à demeure, -au générateur aléatoire 16. If, for example, the lock 17 of the door of a motor vehicle has to be unlocked, the electronic key 2 transmits, by means of its transmitter a, an opening code signal 18 programmed permanently in memory 5 , for example in the form of an infrared, ultrasonic or radio signal, to the receiver 10 of the lock control unit 3. The code comparator 12 thereof compares the opening code signal 18 received with a code signal permanently stored in the ROM 11.If the two code signals match, then the data processing unit 13 generates a switching signal which activates the ROM so that it applies the code interrogation 19, permanently stored, at the random generator 16.

Celuiaci chiffre le code d'interrogation 19 volontairement et le transmet sous la forme d'un signal de code aléatoire 20 d'une part, à la clé électronique 2 et, d'autre part, à l'unité fonctionnelle électronique 9, ol il est écrit dans la mémoire morte 11. Le signal de code aléatoire 20 reçu par la clé électronique 2 est comparé, dans le comparateur de codes 6 de celle-ci, avec un code de réponse 21 programmé à demeure dans la mémoire 5 (la mémoire 5 contient pour chaque signal de code aléatoire 20 un code de réponse 21 défini de façon précise), de sorte que en cas de conflEmation des deux codes, l'émetteur 4 est activé par l'intermédiaire de l'unité de commande de données 7 et du dispositif de sortie de données 8 de telle manière qu'il transmette un signal de code de réponse 22 he signal de code de réponse 22 reçu par le récepteur 10 est alors à nouveau comparé, dans le comparateur de codes 12, avec le signal de code aléatoire 20 écrit dans la mémoire morte Il et (comme les deux signaux 22 et 20 ne sont pas identiques ou ne doivent pas l'être), ledit signal 22 est traité par l'unité d'exploitation de donnees 13 qui, si les deux signaux de code 22 et 20 sont confirmés, applique un signal 23 à la serrure 17 pour la déverrouiller. This brings up the interrogation code 19 voluntarily and transmits it in the form of a random code signal 20 on the one hand, to the electronic key 2 and, on the other hand, to the electronic functional unit 9, ol it is written in the read-only memory 11. The random code signal 20 received by the electronic key 2 is compared, in the code comparator 6 thereof, with an answer code 21 permanently programmed in memory 5 (the memory 5 contains for each random code signal 20 a precisely defined response code 21), so that in the event of a conflEmation of the two codes, the transmitter 4 is activated via the data control unit 7 and from the data output device 8 so that it transmits a response code signal 22 he response code signal 22 received by the receiver 10 is then again compared, in the code comparator 12, with the signal of random code 20 written in ROM It and (like the two if 22 and 20 are not identical or should not be the same), said signal 22 is processed by the data processing unit 13 which, if the two code signals 22 and 20 are confirmed, applies a signal 23 to lock 17 to unlock it.

Par ailleurs, si une personne non autorisée a enregistré tout le dialogue entre la cle électronique 2 et l'unité de commande de serrure 3, c'est-à-dire la génération et la transmission des signaux 18, 20 et 22, alors l'utilisation de ce processus ne conduit néanmoins pas a la génération du signal 23 de déverrouillage de la serrure 17, car, à chaque application du signal de code d'ouverture 18, un autre signal de code aléatoire 20 et un autre signal de code de réponse 22 sont engendrés. Méme une utilisation répétée du dialogue enregistré par la personne non autorisée ne peut entraîner une génération du signal 23 se produisant par hasard car, suivant une autre forme d'exécution de l'objet de l'invention, on peut encore prévoir, en tant que mesure de sécurité complementaire dans l'unité onc tionnelle électronique 9 de l'unité de commande de serrure 3, un compteur-interrupteur horaire 14, qui a pour fonctions, d'une part, si le signal de code de réponse 22 est absent ou erroné, d'être activé par l'unité d'exploitation de données 13 et de ne reproduire le signal de commutation permettant une nouvelle extraction du code d'interrogation 19 hors de la mémoire 11 qu'avec un retard considérable et, d'autre-part, lors de la réception fréquente de signaux de code d'ouverture, au cours d'une brève unité de temps, d'être activé et d'activer à son tour un élément d'interdiction 15, qui empêche l'application du code d'interrogation 19. Un élément d'interdiction 15 activé ne permet pas non plus au propriétaire (par exemple du véhicule automobile) de déverrouiller la serrure en utilisant le dialogue normal. Cela constitue alors pour lui un indice certain qu'une ou plusieurs personnes non autorisées ont tenté d'ouvrir la porte. Toutefois, pour mettre au proprié taire en mesure de pouvoir ouvrir la porte à nouveau au moyen du dialogue normal, un code supplémentaire est enregistré dans la mémoire 5 de la clé électronique 2 et, au moyen d'une touche spéciaèprévue sur l'émetteur 4, est transmis sous la forme d'un signal de code de déblocage séparé 24 et, en étant appliqué directement au ré- cepteur 10 de l'unité de commande de serrure 3, entraîne une mise hors d'action de l'élément d'interdiction 15.  Furthermore, if an unauthorized person has recorded all the dialogue between the electronic key 2 and the lock control unit 3, that is to say the generation and transmission of signals 18, 20 and 22, then l the use of this process does not however lead to the generation of the signal 23 for unlocking the lock 17, because, each time the opening code signal 18 is applied, another random code signal 20 and another code signal answer 22 are generated. Even a repeated use of the dialogue recorded by the unauthorized person cannot lead to a generation of the signal 23 occurring by chance because, according to another embodiment of the object of the invention, it is still possible to provide, as additional safety measure in the electronic onc tional unit 9 of the lock control unit 3, a time switch counter 14, which has the functions, on the one hand, if the response code signal 22 is absent or erroneous, to be activated by the data processing unit 13 and to reproduce the switching signal allowing a new extraction of the interrogation code 19 from the memory 11 only with a considerable delay and, on the other -part, during the frequent reception of opening code signals, during a short unit of time, to be activated and to activate in turn a prohibition element 15, which prevents the application of the interrogation code 19. An activated prohibition element 15 does not allow no longer have the owner (for example of the motor vehicle) unlock the lock using the normal dialog. This then constitutes for him a sure indication that one or more unauthorized persons tried to open the door. However, to enable the owner to be able to open the door again by means of the normal dialogue, an additional code is stored in the memory 5 of the electronic key 2 and, by means of a special key provided on the transmitter 4 , is transmitted in the form of a separate unlock code signal 24 and, when applied directly to the receiver 10 of the lock control unit 3, causes the control element to be deactivated prohibition 15.
