Detailed Description

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

The electronic lock provided by the embodiment of the invention is applied to an electronic lock, wherein the electronic lock stores an unlocking key and attribute information of the unlocking key, and the attribute information comprises: the key validity time interval and the key freeze information, as shown in fig. 1, the method may include:

s100, obtaining an unlocking instruction, wherein the unlocking instruction carries a first unlocking key;

specifically, a user can input an unlocking instruction in the electronic lock, and the input unlocking instruction can carry an unlocking key representing the user of the electronic lock. The mode of unblanking the electronic lock can be password, bluetooth, fingerprint, iris etc.. The user can input the unlocking key to unlock the electronic lock through various unlocking modes, for example, the user sends an unlocking instruction to the electronic lock through a terminal device (such as a mobile phone) to input the unlocking key into the electronic lock.

The key validity time interval is the validity period of an unlocking key stored in the electronic lock, for example: the key validity time interval of a certain unlocking key is from 1 month 1 day in 2018 to 12 months 31 days in 2018, so that the user can unlock the lock in the key validity time interval through the unlocking key, and the user cannot unlock the lock through the unlocking key outside the key validity time interval. The invention can flexibly manage the unlocking key through the key valid time interval, such as: example 1: the cleaning personnel need to enter the home of the user for cleaning from 12 pm to 1 pm in tuesday and from 12 pm to 1 pm in friday every week, and the user can save the fingerprint of the cleaning personnel into the electronic lock on the entrance door and set the key valid time interval from 12 pm to 1 pm in tuesday and from 12 pm to 1 pm in friday for the fingerprint. Therefore, the cleaning personnel can not enter the home of the user at other times outside the key valid time interval, and the safety and the flexibility can be effectively improved.

Besides the key valid time interval, the invention can further carry out freezing management on the unlocking key through the key freezing information. Wherein the key freezing information may include: a state flag, which may be a frozen use flag or an unfrozen flag, and a freeze time interval. The freezing time interval is the time interval in which the unlocking key is frozen for use. When the state identifier of a certain unlocking key is the frozen use identifier, the unlocking key is frozen and cannot be used for unlocking within a corresponding freezing time interval.

S200, searching the first unlocking key in the unlocking keys stored in the electronic lock, and executing the step S300 if the first unlocking key is searched;

specifically, after the unlocking key is obtained, the electronic lock searches whether the obtained unlocking key exists in all unlocking keys stored in the electronic lock. In practical use of an electronic lock, an electronic lock manager may store an unlocking key of an authorized user in the electronic lock, but it is not excluded that an unauthorized user may also attempt to unlock the electronic lock, so it is necessary to verify whether the unlocking key that has just been obtained is the unlocking key of the authorized user from among the unlocking keys stored in the electronic lock. If the unauthorized user inputs the unlocking instruction for many times, the electronic lock manager can be informed, so that the electronic lock manager can timely process the unlocking instruction, for example, the unauthorized user tries to crack the unlocking key in a password-uninterrupted mode, the electronic lock manager can be timely informed, and the electronic lock manager can process the behavior of forcibly invading the electronic lock in modes of alarming and the like, so that the electronic lock and the personal and property safety of the user are protected.

S300, determining whether the current time is within a key valid time interval of the first unlocking key, and if so, executing the step S400;

specifically, after the unlocking key is determined to be the unlocking key of the authorized user, whether the unlocking key is in the key valid time interval or not is checked. Different valid times can be set for different unlocking keys. In some application scenarios, for example, for some guests who visit the owner's home temporarily, the owner may set a temporary unlocking key with an expiration date for the guest, and within the expiration date, the guest may open the electronic lock to enter the owner's home through the temporary unlocking key, so as to prevent the guest from waiting too long outdoors due to busy owner.

S400, determining whether to unlock according to the key freezing information of the first unlocking key.

Specifically, under some circumstances, the problem that the electronic lock manager cannot solve is solved completely by setting the validity period for the unlocking key, and at this time, the electronic lock manager can set the unlocking key flexibly by setting the key freezing information for the electronic lock.

The invention can freeze a certain section or a plurality of short sections of time interval within a longer key valid time interval of a certain unlocking key, thus, the unlocking key can not be used for unlocking within the frozen time interval, and the unlocking key can be normally unlocked within other time within the key valid time interval. Still referring to example 1, for example 1, when a user needs to go on business in the whole month of february, the user does not need to enter a house for cleaning. But the user is no longer on business after a week. At this time, if the key valid time interval is modified, the key valid time interval of the unlocking key of the cleaning staff stored in the electronic lock needs to be modified before the user goes on business, and february in the key valid time interval is removed. If the user returns home after a week, the user needs to modify the key validity time interval of the unlocking key of the cleaning staff stored in the electronic lock again, and adds 12 pm to 1 pm on tuesday and 12 pm to 1 pm on friday of weeks after february into the key validity time interval. Such a modification is undoubtedly cumbersome, and in order to solve this problem, the present invention flexibly manages the unlocking key by a combination of the key freezing information and the key validity time interval. For example 1, when the user needs to go on business in the whole month of february, but the user does not go on business any more after going on business for one week, the user may freeze february before going on business, and when the user goes back to home after going on business for one week, the user may unfreeze february again. Freezing and unfreezing the unlock key is simpler and more flexible than modifying the key validity time interval.

According to the unlocking method of the electronic lock, provided by the embodiment of the invention, an unlocking instruction can be obtained, and the unlocking instruction carries a first unlocking key; and searching the first unlocking key in the unlocking keys stored in the electronic lock, if so, determining whether the current moment is within the key valid time interval of the first unlocking key, and if so, determining whether to perform unlocking processing according to the key freezing information of the first unlocking key. The key effective time interval and the key freezing information are set for the unlocking key in the electronic lock, the management of the unlocking key can be realized through the combination of the key effective time interval and the key freezing information, the electronic lock is more flexible and convenient, and the electronic lock can be more flexibly used in some complex application scenes.

Optionally, the key freezing information in the embodiment of the present invention may include: a state flag, which may be a frozen use flag or an unfrozen flag, and a freeze time interval. On this basis, as shown in fig. 2, step S400 in the method shown in fig. 1 may specifically include:

s410, determining whether the state identifier of the first unlocking key is the frozen use identifier, if so, executing the step S420, and if not, executing the step S440;

specifically, the state identifier of the first unlocking key may be a frozen use identifier, may also be an unfrozen identifier, and may also be null. When the state mark is empty, the first unlocking secret key can be determined not to be frozen, and normal unlocking can be carried out. It is understood that the freezing of the first unlocking key is performed by freezing the use identifier, and the condition that the first unlocking key is not frozen as long as the use identifier is not frozen can be set to be an unfrozen identifier or other identifier or null, which is not further limited herein.

S420, determining whether the current time is within the freezing time interval of the first unlocking key, if so, executing the step S430, and if not, executing the step S440;

s430, rejecting the unlocking instruction;

and S440, unlocking.

The invention realizes the management of unlocking keys by combining the key valid time interval and the key freezing information, and can enable the electronic lock to be more flexibly used in some complex application scenes. For example: the master hires cleaning personnel to clean houses at 4 to 6 pm every day, the validity period of an unlocking key provided by the cleaning personnel is 4 to 6 pm every day, but the master needs to go on a business trip for two days temporarily, although the cleaning personnel can be informed by telephone not to be used for house cleaning in the two days, in order to avoid the condition that the cleaning personnel enters the houses of the master when the master goes on a business trip and is not at home, the unlocking key of the cleaning personnel can be provided with a freezing use mark and a freezing time interval, the freezing time interval is 4 to 6 pm in the two days when the master goes on a business trip, and after the master returns on the two days when the master goes on a business trip, the unlocking key of the cleaning personnel is automatically unfrozen without manual unfreezing, so that the complicated operation of the master is omitted.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 2, in another unlocking method of an electronic lock according to an embodiment of the present invention, step S430 may be further performed when it is determined that the current time is outside the key validity time interval of the first unlocking key in step S300.

Specifically, even if the unlocking key of an authorized electronic lock user is used, the unlocking cannot be performed beyond the validity period of the unlocking key, it can be understood that the unlocking key has expired, and for the expired unlocking key, the electronic lock manager can set automatic deletion on the expired unlocking key, and can also manually process the expired unlocking key, where the manual process includes but is not limited to: resetting the expiration date or deleting, etc.

The method shown in fig. 2 may also execute step S430 when the first unlocking key is not found in the unlocking keys stored in the electronic lock in step S200.

Specifically, when the electronic lock determines that an unauthorized electronic lock user inputs an unlocking instruction, the unlocking instruction is rejected, and when the unauthorized electronic lock user repeatedly inputs the unlocking instruction within a short time, the electronic lock gives an alarm or notifies an electronic lock manager to process the unlocking instruction.

Optionally, based on the method shown in fig. 1, as shown in fig. 3, another unlocking method for an electronic lock provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include:

s500, acquiring an unlocking management instruction of the first unlocking key sent by unlocking management equipment, wherein the unlocking management instruction carries attribute information of the first unlocking key;

s600, modifying part or all of attribute information of the first unlocking secret key stored in the electronic lock according to the attribute information in the unlocking management instruction.

The unlocking management equipment can be a server in communication connection with the electronic lock, and the server can manage an unlocking key in the electronic lock. Specifically, a user can be in communication connection with the server through a terminal device (such as a mobile phone), and management of an unlocking key in the electronic lock is achieved through the server.

Certainly, the unlocking management device may also be a terminal device, for example, when the unlocking management device is a terminal device (such as a mobile phone), the user may directly connect with the electronic lock through the terminal device to realize management of the unlocking key in the electronic lock, where the connection mode between the terminal device and the electronic lock may be a wireless transmission mode such as bluetooth or wifi, or may be a wired connection mode (such as connection through a data line). The embodiment of the present invention is not limited herein.

For convenience of understanding, steps S500 to S600 shown in fig. 3 are explained in detail below through the steps shown in fig. 5: in fig. 5, the user uses the terminal device to communicate with the server, and then manages the unlocking key in the electronic lock through the server, and the specific management process includes:

s001, the terminal equipment sends an unlocking management instruction for the first unlocking key, wherein the unlocking management instruction carries attribute information of the first unlocking key;

s002, the server sends the unlocking management instruction to the electronic lock;

s003, the electronic lock modifies the attribute information of the first unlocking key according to the unlocking management instruction;

s004, the electronic lock sends the modification result to a server;

s005, the server sends the modification result to the terminal equipment;

and S006, the terminal equipment displays the modification result.

Optionally, the unlocking key in the embodiment of the present invention may be stored in the electronic lock in the form of a key file, and each key file stores key information of one unlocking key, for example: fingerprint line information or a specific digital sequence of a digital code. Furthermore, the invention can set a unique file ID for each key file, and the invention can search the corresponding unlocking key through the file ID. Specifically, the unlocking key can be corresponding to the user identification through the file ID, wherein the user identification can be a user name, a user identity card number, a user living address and the like. The user identification is corresponded by the file ID, so that the user can perform centralized management on a plurality of unlocking keys of a certain person, for example: the server stores the corresponding relationship between the user identification and the file ID, and the user can send an unlocking management instruction carrying the user identification of the first user and the attribute information of all unlocking keys of the first user to the server through the terminal equipment. After obtaining the unlocking management instruction, the server can search each file ID corresponding to the user identification of the first user, and send each searched file ID and the unlocking management instruction to the electronic lock together, and the electronic lock can modify the stored attribute information of the key file with the received file ID into the attribute information in the unlocking management instruction according to each received file ID.

Optionally, the server may authenticate the user of the terminal device, determine whether the user has a right to modify the attribute information of the first unlocking key, and send the unlocking management instruction to the electronic lock if the user has the right to modify the attribute information of the first unlocking key.

Optionally, based on the method shown in fig. 1, as shown in fig. 4, another unlocking method for an electronic lock provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include:

s700, obtaining an unlocking management instruction of a first unlocking mode sent by unlocking management equipment, wherein the unlocking management instruction carries management information of the first unlocking mode, and the management information of the first unlocking mode comprises: the target attribute information of the first unlocking mode includes: target effective time interval of the first unlocking mode and/or target freezing information of the first unlocking mode; when the unlocking management instruction comprises the target effective time interval, executing the step S800; when the unlocking management instruction comprises the target freezing information, executing a step S900;
