  • an electrically controlled door lock which typically employs an access code system, for example, a key pad or a card reader for receiving an access code input by a user of the door to identify whether the input access code is valid through a recognition device, and to them output a control signal generated from a microprocessor to cause the door latch to be released for access.
  • an access code system for example, a key pad or a card reader for receiving an access code input by a user of the door to identify whether the input access code is valid through a recognition device, and to them output a control signal generated from a microprocessor to cause the door latch to be released for access.
  • the major difference between the mechanically structured door lock and the electrically controlled door lock is that the latter does not need a general key to lock /unlock the door so that it is unnecessary for a user to carry the bulky key.
  • the electrically controlled door lock still has the following disadvantages: (1) The access code system of the electrically controlled door lock can only be accessed outdoors or disposed on the wall near the door so that it is easily damaged, thereby resulting in safety and maintenance problems; (2) The user must always remember the access code of keypad-type door lock; however, in these changing times, the number of personal passwords used for a variety of electronic products increase daily. Therefore, because the user must remember so many passwords, he may easily become confused or forget the password, thereby resulting in inconvenient use.
