- the DE 10 2009 013 650 A1 relates to an arrangement for unlocking an electrically operated lock of a vehicle with its own power supply.
- XP055069059 corresponds to a presentation by "Pylocx" that was made before the priority date on the website "www.LockYourWorld.com It describes an access control with an electronic lock and an electronic key, which comprises magnetic contacts for transmitting data and energy to the lock and an input device for entering an authorization code.
- the invention is based on the object of providing an electronic key which can be activated at short notice and alternately for opening a wide variety of locks.
- the object further comprises the provision of an electronic locking system in which an electronic key according to the invention advantageously interacts with at least one electronic lock.
- the object also consists in specifying a method for securely obtaining access authorization or for securely handing over keys using an electronic key according to the invention and / or a locking system according to the invention.
- An electronic key according to the invention is characterized by an input device provided on a housing of the electronic key for inputting an authorization code.
- the input device can be designed in the form of a numeric or alphanumeric keyboard, the authorization code for the desired release being entered manually in this case by the user.
- the electronic key can be programmed for opening various electronic locks by means of authorization codes which can be entered via the input unit.
- the input device can also be formed by an electronic detection device.
- This can be formed, for example, by a reading or receiving device, which is handled by the user or one of them via radio, Bluetooth, RFID or NFC communication or by optical transmission, for example a barcode, QR code or the like Communication device (for example a smartphone) transmitted authorization code detected.
- the authorization code is preferably temporarily stored in a memory of the electronic key and, after it has been brought into contact with an electronic lock, is transmitted to the electronic lock via at least one contact.
- an electronic lock is any electronic contact point that is suitable for subsequent actuation or for releasing an access authorization.
- the authorization code which can be entered separately into the electronic key using the input device without being physically close to the electronic lock to be opened, significantly increases the security of the authentication of the access authorization, since the corresponding access data can hardly be intercepted by unauthorized third parties and the electronic key is only finished entered authorization code is approximated to the electronic lock.
- a possibly stolen or lost electronic key is worthless for the thief or the finder, since he cannot recognize for which electronic lock the key in question was prepared by the authorization code.
- the input device and the contacts are arranged on different sides of the housing.
- the input device is on a front side of the housing and the contacts are arranged on a rear side of the housing.
- the input device can also be actuated very easily in a position in which the contacts are in engagement with the respective mating contacts on the electronic lock.
- the electronic key is provided with at least one electrical voltage source "which is a rechargeable battery,” which is not only used to self-supply the electronic components of the electronic key, but also to feed the electronic lock at least during the opening process or an initialization or Activation process during which the electronic lock can be connected to its own power supply.
- the electronic key is provided with an electrical voltage converter, through which a lower output voltage of the accumulator in the electronic key is converted into a higher operating voltage required by the electronic lock electrical voltage converter designed as a DC / DC converter, which converts an input voltage of, for example, 3.7 V of a rechargeable lithium-ion battery serving as an accumulator into an output voltage voltage of 12 V, which is sufficient to control most common motorized locks or electrical actuators.
- the advantage is that the device provided with the electronic lock does not have to be constantly supplied with an operating voltage, since the current required for opening is only supplied by the electronic key when required.
- tubular safes that are set up away from a power grid and in which physical keys are deposited can be operated without a fixed power supply but also without batteries to be replaced. This reduces the maintenance effort and wear and tear on these systems.
- Lockers, valuables boxes or safes can also be operated without a permanent power supply, as the power for initializing access is supplied by the electronic key.
- the electronic lock operates after confirmation of a Authentication of the access authorization first of all a control device, by means of which an external operating voltage source is then activated to operate a motor lock or other actuator.
- the electronic key is provided with at least one magnet - in particular a ring magnet - for centering in cooperation with a corresponding counter magnet on the electronic lock. Due to the magnetic forces that are attracted, the electronic key automatically moves into the contact position when it approaches the electronic lock.
- the contacts on the electronic key are preferably resiliently mounted in its housing.
- the electronic locking system includes at least one electronic lock which is provided with at least two concentrically arranged counter-contacts and a magnetic centering.
- the electronic lock is arranged on a cover of a tubular safe, the electronic key in its contact position with the electronic lock at the same time preferably serving as a handle for operating the cover.
- the electronic lock is connected upstream of a motorized lock or an actuator of a device to be secured and activates its energization.
- lockers, valuables boxes or safes can be operated without a permanent power supply, since the power for initializing an access is supplied by the electronic key.
- the electronic lock can be operated again Confirmation of an authentication of the access authorization first of all a control device, by means of which an external operating voltage source is then activated to operate a motor lock or another actuator.
- the mating contact surfaces on the electronic lock are preferably designed as concentric circles which come into contact with the contacts of the electronic key in any relative angular position of the electronic key. Since no rotational alignment of the electronic key with respect to the electronic lock is required, the docking of the electronic key on the electronic lock can be carried out extremely easily by the user, even in poor visibility conditions.
- a piece of information that is characteristic of the electronic lock for example a code which is arranged in the area of the lock and can be read out automatically by means of a communication device or manually by the user, and a piece of information that is characteristic of the user, for example a password or a letter / code entered into the communication device.
- a piece of information that is characteristic of the user for example a password or a letter / code entered into the communication device.
- the authorization code After the authorization code has been issued and sent, it is transmitted to an electronic key carried by the user, which is then used to unlock the electronic lock.
- the transmission of the authorization code to the electronic key represents a further advantageous security barrier.
- the transmission of the authorization code can also be carried out automatically, for example by transmission using Bluetooth, an infrared transmitter or other short-range transmission methods from the communication device to the electronic key.
- the electronic lock itself can enable access authorization to a protected area or a protected facility.
- the protected area is from a relatively small, external to one Buildings or burglar-proof containers arranged in the vicinity of the building, for example a tubular safe, are formed.
- the electronic lock gives access to a physical key after unlocking with the electronic key, with which the building can then be entered.
- the physical key is particularly advantageously connected to the inside of a cover of the tubular safe containing the electronic lock, so that it is returned to the tubular safe after leaving the building and reclosing the tubular safe by means of the locking cover.
- the electronic lock receives a voltage changed by a voltage converter transmitted from an electrical voltage source of the electronic key and forwards this to the activation of an electrical motor lock or an electrical actuator - optionally with the interposition of a control unit.
- the communication device is formed by a mobile phone, by means of which the user - for example a guard from a security service - calls the information processing point - for example the service center of the security service - and transmits his name, information specific to the lock and a password, whereupon the information processing point checks this information, if necessary also compares it with an operational plan stored there and, if all information is positive, transmits an authorization code to the user or the communication device.
- the authorization code can be communicated to the user by telephone or via a short message (SMS) generated by a computer in the information processing center.
- SMS short message
- the user passes this authorization code on via the input device to the electronic key he is carrying and can then actuate the electronic lock by bringing it into contact with the electronic key.
- the code of the electronic lock can be read out automatically by means of software ("app") stored in the communication device and corresponding sensors - for example a camera of a smartphone serving as communication device.
- This can be done, for example, by means of a barcode reading program or Aztec code reading program stored in the smartphone, for which purpose a corresponding graphic code is arranged in the area of the electronic lock in these cases.
- other electronic signal transmitters arranged in the area of the electronic lock and correspondingly aligned sensors in the communication device are also possible, for example an invisible, magnetically coded signal.
- the authorization code can also be transmitted to the user's smartphone as a barcode, QR code or similar. If the transmitted code is transmitted in machine-readable form, it is transmitted from the communication device (the smartphone) to an electronic input device on the electronic key.
- the information characteristic of the user can also be automatically queried by the software stored in the communication device, for example after reading in the information specific to the electronic lock, and by the user, for example, as a letter / number combination entered and transmitted to the information processing center.
- the information processing point before sending an authorization code to the user, in addition to the information characteristic of the electronic lock and / or the user, an information linked to both pieces of information by a deployment plan for the location and / or the time of deployment checks. This creates additional security, since it is excluded that an access code is also transmitted completely outside of a normal route provided by a security staff.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the electronic lock and / or the device protected by it sends information to the central information processing point when the electronic lock is released and when it is closed.
- the check in the central information processing point also includes the evaluation of at least one time parameter that contains the information characteristic of the lock and / or the user on the basis of a stored schedule - in particular the route plan of a security guard - for the intended opening of the lock verified.
- the communication device and the electronic key form a unit.
- This unit combines all the functions of a transmitter and receiver for recording and transmitting the information characteristic of the lock and / or the user to a central information processing point and for receiving an authorization code with the function of the electronic key.
- the electronic key for example a magnetic transponder, is programmed so that it can be used to open the electronic lock.
- the present invention is applicable, for example, in connection with a tubular safe, such as, for example, in US Pat WO 2012/045474 A1 is revealed.
- the transponder acts as an electronic key after it has been placed on the electronic lock, directly as a handle for removing the cover.
- the illustrated locking device 10 is formed by a tubular safe 12 which is arranged in a theft-proof and tamper-proof manner in a wall of a building or on a stable support in the vicinity of the building.
- the tubular safe 12 is closed by means of a closure cover 14 on its front side.
- an electronic lock 16 Integrated into the closure cover 14 is an electronic lock 16, as detailed in FIG WO 2012/045474 A1 is shown and described, the disclosure content of which is hereby made the subject of the present application.
- a physical key 18 is arranged, by means of which at least one access to the building, not shown, and optionally further doors in this building can be opened.
- a code 20 characteristic of the electronic lock 16 is arranged on the locking device 10 locked by means of the electronic lock 16.
- this is designed in the form of a barcode 20, but can also be formed by an Aztek code or an invisible magnetic code.
- the code 20 can be read out manually by a user 20.
- a communication device 24 carried by the user 22 has a sensor or a reading device for the automatic detection of the code 20.
- the communication device 24 can, for example, from a smartphone whose camera is used in conjunction with a stored application program ("app") to read in a barcode or, alternatively, an Aztek code, which in the exemplary embodiment is used as the code 20 characteristic of the electronic lock 16.
- invisible codes 20 transmitted magnetically or via a radio signal can also be transmitted by the electronic lock 16 or a device arranged in its vicinity and received or read out by the communication device 24.
- the electronic lock 16 can be unlocked by means of an electronic key 32, provided that an authorization code 36 suitable for the electronic lock 16 is entered in this electronic key 32.
- Figure 3 shows how the authorization code 36 is entered by the user 22 via a keyboard arranged on the electronic key 32.
- the electronic key 32 can then, as in FIG Figure 4 shown, placed on the electronic lock 16 and used directly as a handle for opening the closure cover 14.
- this process is preceded by that shown in FIG Figures 2 , 6 and 7 Procedure shown, in which the user 22 the information characteristic of the electronic lock 16 (the code 20) and information characteristic of his person in the form of a code 26 - for example in the form of a personal password or a letter / number combination - by means of the communication device 24 to a central information processing point 30 - for example the headquarters of a security service - transmitted.
- the information 20 characteristic of the electronic lock 16 and the information 26 characteristic of the person of the user 22 together form an inquiry data record 34, which in the simplest case is transmitted manually to the central information processing point 30 via a telephone call.
- the transmission of the Inquiry data record 34 is automated, for example as a character string in a short message (SMS) sent by the communication device 24.
- SMS short message
- the query data record 34 with the codes 20 and 26 contained therein is checked, preferably with additional comparison with a time parameter 28 (for example the duty roster or route plan of the user 22). If this check leads to a positive result, the information processing station 30 sends an authorization code 36 to the communication device 24. In the simplest case, this can again take place by means of a telephone call. According to an advantageous development, the transmission of the authorization code 36 to the communication device 24 takes place in an automated manner, for example in the form of a character string embedded in a short message (SMS).
- SMS short message
- the authorization code 36 is provided by the user 22, as already described in connection with Figure 3 mentioned, manually transmitted to the electronic key 32 via an input device, in particular a keyboard.
- the central information processing station 30 advantageously has at least one client computer 310 and at least one server 320.
- the client computer 310 is used to receive the request data record 34 and to transmit this data record to the server 320.
- the data traffic between the client computer 310 and the server 320 is denoted by 315 in the figures.
- time parameters 28 are stored in the server 320, which, for example, map a route plan of the user 22 with a time characteristic for opening the electronic lock 16 in question, preferably with a corresponding time buffer (earliest opening time, latest opening time, latest closing time). All data in the server 320 are managed by an administrator 330. The data traffic between the server 320 and the administrator 330 is denoted by 325 in the figures.
- a signal is preferably also transmitted to the server 320, which signal is automatically sent by a transmitter installed on the electronic lock 16 when the electronic lock 16 is opened and closed. Contrary to the illustration in FIGS Figures 2 , 6 and 7 in an advanced embodiment they can also function fully automatically without human interaction.
- the receipt of a request data record 34 by the client computer 310, the transmission of the request data record 34 to the server 320, the checking of the data contained in the request data record 34 characteristic information (codes 20 and 26), the comparison with the at least one time parameter 28, the generation of an authorization code 36 and the transmission of the authorization code 36 to the communication device 24, possibly again with the interposition of a client computer 310, can preferably be done by means of software controlled fully automatically.
- the electronic key 32 is provided with an input device 33 by means of which the user 22 can enter the authorization code 36 transmitted from the central information processing point 30 to the communication device 24 into the electronic key.
- an electronic key 32 provided with an input device 33 can generally also be used instead of the stationary input devices that are already widespread today, in which the input of a code by an authorized user can be observed relatively easily by an unauthorized observer and thus represents a considerable security risk .
- the entry of a code into a mobile electronic key 32 which is only used afterwards to open an electronic lock, can take place completely unobserved at some distance from the electronic lock 16.
- an electronic key 32 placed on the electronic lock 16 and temporarily connected to the electronic lock 16 by magnetic force can be used as the electronic key 32 Key 32 can be used.
- the magnetic forces are provided by a magnet 329 in the central area of the electronic key 32 and by a counter magnet 161 in the central area of the electronic lock 16, which are preferably designed as permanent ring magnets and for automatic centering of the electronic key 32 with the electronic lock 16 as well as an alignment of the contacts 324, 325 and 326 to the concentrically arranged mating contact surfaces 164, 165, 166 on the electronic lock 16 independently of the relative angle to one another.
- electronic keys 32 for example in the form of a transponder, which interact with the electronic lock 16 in a contactless manner over a certain distance can also be used.
- the electronic key 32 has a housing 321, on its front side according to FIG Fig. 3 and 9 the input device 33 is arranged. In the exemplary embodiment shown, this is a numeric keyboard with 10 number keys 331, a delete key 332 (“C”) and an enter key 333 (“OK”). On the back of the housing 321, three contacts 324, 325 and 326, which are resiliently mounted in the housing, protrude, of which the centrally arranged contact 325 carries the positive voltage, for example, the furthest contact 324 represents the ground connection and the contact 326 for serial data transmission serves.
- a battery 332 is arranged in the rear view of the electronic key 32 according to FIG Fig. 10 .

- the electronic key 32 works with either the one in the Figures 1 to 5
- the concept of "facility" is to be seen here very broadly. Machines, vehicles or the like, but also lockers, security boxes, safes or doors to security areas can be protected by an electronic lock 16.
- Fig. 8 shows that the protected device can also be released not only directly but also indirectly by the electronic lock 16.
- the electronic lock 16 acts as a 220 V protection module for a protected device, not shown, which is ultimately only released when a motor lock 40 is actuated.

- the control module should be able to be used very universally with regard to the motor locks 40 and electric bolts to be connected. For this reason, a relay was selected as a potential-free switch to control the motorized locks 40 or the electric bolts. If a DC voltage is required to control switching elements, a fixed voltage can be switched via the potential-free changeover switch via the corresponding output.
- the fixed voltage output can be configured via a jumper (inside the control unit). There are 3 voltages to choose from: 6V, 9V or 12V each max. 500mA. The fixed voltages are stabilized and suppressed (residual ripple ⁇ 20mV).

- the corresponding Pylocx transponder is then connected to the emergency power supply device.
- the rest of the operation is the same as in normal operation. It should be noted that the 9V emergency operation can only supply 12V locks to a limited extent.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein einen elektronischen Schlüssel umfassendes elektronisches Schließsystem sowie ein Verfahren für eine gesicherte Erlangung einer Zugangsberechtigung oder für eine gesicherte Schlüssel-Übergabe.The invention relates to an electronic locking system comprising an electronic key and a method for securely obtaining access authorization or for securely handing over keys.
Insbesondere für externe Sicherheitsdienste aber auch für eigenes Personal einer Firma besteht die Problematik, dass das Mitführen eines Schlüssels, insbesondere Generalschlüssels, der einen Zugang zu sämtlichen Räumen eines Gebäudes ermöglicht, ein erhebliches Sicherheitsrisiko darstellt, wenn dieser Schlüssel durch Missbrauch oder durch kriminelle Handlungen (Diebstahl, Raub oder Kidnapping, illegale Herstellung eines Nachschlüssels) in falsche Hände gerät.For external security services in particular, but also for the company's own staff, there is the problem that carrying a key, in particular a master key that enables access to all rooms in a building, represents a considerable security risk if this key is misused or through criminal acts (theft , Robbery or kidnapping, illegal production of a duplicate key) falls into the wrong hands.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen elektronischen Schlüssel bereit zu stellen, der kurzfristig und wechselweise für das Öffnen verschiedenster Schlösser aktivierbar ist. Die Aufgabe umfasst ferner die Bereitstellung eines elektronischen Schließsystems, in dem ein erfindungsgemäßer elektronischer Schlüssel vorteilhaft mit wenigstens einem elektronischen Schloss zusammenwirkt. Schließlich besteht die Aufgabe auch darin, unter Verwendung eines erfindungsgemäßen elektronischen Schlüssels und/oder eines erfindungsgemäßen Schließsystems ein Verfahren für eine gesicherte Erlangung einer Zugangsberechtigung oder für eine gesicherte Schlüssel-Übergabe angegeben.The invention is based on the object of providing an electronic key which can be activated at short notice and alternately for opening a wide variety of locks. The object further comprises the provision of an electronic locking system in which an electronic key according to the invention advantageously interacts with at least one electronic lock. Finally, the object also consists in specifying a method for securely obtaining access authorization or for securely handing over keys using an electronic key according to the invention and / or a locking system according to the invention.
Diese Aufgabe wird hinsichtlich des elektronischen Schließsystems durch die im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale und hinsichtlich des Verfahrens durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 5 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den jeweils darauf bezogenen Unteransprüchen enthalten.This object is achieved with regard to the electronic locking system by the features specified in
Ein erfindungsgemäßer elektronischer Schlüssel zeichnet sich durch eine an einem Gehäuse des elektronischen Schlüssels vorgesehene Eingabeeinrichtung zur Eingabe eines Berechtigungscodes aus. Die Eingabeeinrichtung kann dabei in Form einer numerischen oder alphanumerischen Tastatur ausgebildet sein, wobei der Berechtigungscode für die gewünschte Freigabe in diesem Falle durch den Benutzer manuell eingegeben wird. Gemäß der Erfindung ist der elektronische Schlüssel mittels über die Eingabeeinheit eingebbarer Berechtigungscodes für das Öffnen verschiedener elektronischer Schlösser programmierbar.An electronic key according to the invention is characterized by an input device provided on a housing of the electronic key for inputting an authorization code. The input device can be designed in the form of a numeric or alphanumeric keyboard, the authorization code for the desired release being entered manually in this case by the user. According to the invention, the electronic key can be programmed for opening various electronic locks by means of authorization codes which can be entered via the input unit.
Die Eingabeeinrichtung kann alternativ oder ergänzend auch von einer elektronischen Erfassungseinrichtung gebildet werden. Diese kann beispielsweise von einem Lese- oder Empfangsgerät gebildet werden, das einen per Funk-, Bluetooth-, RFID- oder NFC-Kommunikation oder per optischer Übermittlung, beispielsweise eines Barcodes, QR-Codes oder ähnlichem, vom Benutzer oder einer von diesem gehandhabten Kommunikationseinrichtung (beispielsweise einem Smartphone) übermittelten Berechtigungscode erfasst.As an alternative or in addition, the input device can also be formed by an electronic detection device. This can be formed, for example, by a reading or receiving device, which is handled by the user or one of them via radio, Bluetooth, RFID or NFC communication or by optical transmission, for example a barcode, QR code or the like Communication device (for example a smartphone) transmitted authorization code detected.
Der Berechtigungscode wird bevorzugt in einem Speicher des elektronischen Schlüssels zwischengespeichert und nach Inkontaktbringen mit einem elektronischen Schloss über wenigstens einen Kontakt an diesen übermittelt.The authorization code is preferably temporarily stored in a memory of the electronic key and, after it has been brought into contact with an electronic lock, is transmitted to the electronic lock via at least one contact.
Als elektronisches Schloss im Sinne dieser Erfindung wird jede elektronische Kontaktstelle bezeichnet, die für eine folgende Betätigung oder eine Freigabe einer Zugangsberechtigung geeignet ist.For the purposes of this invention, an electronic lock is any electronic contact point that is suitable for subsequent actuation or for releasing an access authorization.
Der mittels der Eingabeeinrichtung separat ohne eine räumliche Nähe zu dem zu öffnenden elektronischen Schloss in den elektronischen Schlüssel eingebbare Berechtigungscode erhöht wesentlich die Sicherheit bei der Authentifikation der Zugriffsberechtigung, da die entsprechenden Zugangsdaten von nicht legitimierten Dritten kaum abgefangen werden können und der elektronische Schlüssel erst mit fertig eingegebenem Berechtigungscode an das elektronische Schloss angenähert wird.The authorization code, which can be entered separately into the electronic key using the input device without being physically close to the electronic lock to be opened, significantly increases the security of the authentication of the access authorization, since the corresponding access data can hardly be intercepted by unauthorized third parties and the electronic key is only finished entered authorization code is approximated to the electronic lock.
Ein eventuell entwendeter oder verloren gegangener elektronischer Schlüssel ist für den Dieb oder den Finder wertlos, da dieser nicht erkennen kann, für welches elektronische Schloss der betreffende Schlüssel durch den Berechtigungscode präpariert wurde.A possibly stolen or lost electronic key is worthless for the thief or the finder, since he cannot recognize for which electronic lock the key in question was prepared by the authorization code.
Die Eingabeeinrichtung und die Kontakte sind an unterschiedlichen Seiten des Gehäuses angeordnet. Dabei ist die Eingabeeinrichtung an einer Vorderseite des Gehäuses und sind die Kontakte an einer Rückseite des Gehäuses angeordnet. Dadurch lässt sich die Eingabeeinrichtung auch sehr einfach in einer Position betätigen, in der die Kontakte mit den jeweiligen Gegenkontakten am elektronischen Schloss in Eingriff stehen.The input device and the contacts are arranged on different sides of the housing. The input device is on a front side of the housing and the contacts are arranged on a rear side of the housing. As a result, the input device can also be actuated very easily in a position in which the contacts are in engagement with the respective mating contacts on the electronic lock.
Außerdem ist der elektronische Schlüssel mit wenigstens einer elektrischen Spannungsquelle" die ein aufladbarer Akkumulator ist, versehen, der nicht nur der Eigenversorung der elektronischen Komponenten des elektronische Schlüssels dient, sondern darüber hinaus auch zur Speisung des elektronischen Schlosses zumindest während des Öffnungsvorgangs oder eines Initialisierungs- oder Aktivierungsvorgangs, während dessen das elektronische Schloss an eine eigene Spannungsversorgung angeschlossen werden kann. Außerdem ist der elektronische Schlüssel mit einem elektrischen Spannungswandler versehen, durch den eine geringere Ausgangsspannung des Akkumulators im elektronischen Schlüssel in eine vom elektronischen Schloss benötigte höhere Betriebsspannung umgewandelt wird. Beispielsweise ist der elektrische Spannungswandler als DC/DC-Wandler ausgebildet, der eine Eingangsspannung von beispielsweise 3,7 V einer als Akkumulator dienenden wieder aufladbaren Lithium-Ionen-Batterie in eine Ausgangsspannung von 12 V umwandelt, die zur Ansteuerung der meisten gängigen Motorschlösser oder elektrischer Aktoren ausreicht.In addition, the electronic key is provided with at least one electrical voltage source "which is a rechargeable battery," which is not only used to self-supply the electronic components of the electronic key, but also to feed the electronic lock at least during the opening process or an initialization or Activation process during which the electronic lock can be connected to its own power supply. In addition, the electronic key is provided with an electrical voltage converter, through which a lower output voltage of the accumulator in the electronic key is converted into a higher operating voltage required by the electronic lock electrical voltage converter designed as a DC / DC converter, which converts an input voltage of, for example, 3.7 V of a rechargeable lithium-ion battery serving as an accumulator into an output voltage voltage of 12 V, which is sufficient to control most common motorized locks or electrical actuators.
Der Vorteil besteht darin, dass die mit dem elektronischen Schloss versehene Einrichtung nicht ständig mit einer Betriebsspannung versorgt werden muss, da der erforderliche Strom zur Öffnung nur bei Bedarf vom elektronischen Schlüssel geliefert wird. So können beispielsweise entfernt von einem Stromnetz aufgestellte Rohrtresore, in denen physikalische Schlüssel deponiert sind, ganz ohne feste Stromversorgung aber auch ohne auszutauschende Batterien betrieben werden. Dadurch reduzieren sich Wartungsaufwand und Verschleiß dieser Systeme.The advantage is that the device provided with the electronic lock does not have to be constantly supplied with an operating voltage, since the current required for opening is only supplied by the electronic key when required. For example, tubular safes that are set up away from a power grid and in which physical keys are deposited can be operated without a fixed power supply but also without batteries to be replaced. This reduces the maintenance effort and wear and tear on these systems.
Schließfächer, Wertsachenfächer oder Tresore können ebenfalls ohne ständige Spannungsversorgung betrieben werden, da der Strom für eine Initialisierung eines Zugangs vom elektronischen Schlüssel geliefert wird. Optional betätigt das elektronische Schloss dabei nach Bestätigung einer Authentifikation der Zugriffsberechtigung zunächst ein Steuergerät, mittels dem dann eine fremde Betriebsspannungsquelle zur Betätigung eines Motorschlosses oder eines sonstigen Aktors aktiviert wird.Lockers, valuables boxes or safes can also be operated without a permanent power supply, as the power for initializing access is supplied by the electronic key. Optionally, the electronic lock operates after confirmation of a Authentication of the access authorization first of all a control device, by means of which an external operating voltage source is then activated to operate a motor lock or other actuator.
Der elektronische Schlüssel ist mit wenigstens einem Magneten -insbesondere einem Ringmagneten - zur Zentrierung im Zusammenwirken mit einem entsprechenden Gegenmagneten am elektronischen Schloss versehen. Durch die sich anziehenden Magnetkräfte bringt der elektronische Schlüssel sich bei einer Annäherung an das elektronische Schloss selbsttätig in die Kontaktposition.The electronic key is provided with at least one magnet - in particular a ring magnet - for centering in cooperation with a corresponding counter magnet on the electronic lock. Due to the magnetic forces that are attracted, the electronic key automatically moves into the contact position when it approaches the electronic lock.
Zur Unterstützung einer sicheren Kontaktbildung sind die Kontakte am elektronischen Schlüssel bevorzugt federnd in dessen Gehäuse gelagert.To support secure contact formation, the contacts on the electronic key are preferably resiliently mounted in its housing.
Das elektronische Schließsystem umfasst außer dem elektronischen Schlüssel zumindest ein elektronisches Schloss, das mit wenigstens zwei konzentrisch angeordneten Gegenkontakten und einer magnetischen Zentrierung versehen ist.In addition to the electronic key, the electronic locking system includes at least one electronic lock which is provided with at least two concentrically arranged counter-contacts and a magnetic centering.
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Anwendung eines elektronischen Schließsystems ist das elektronische Schloss an einem Verschlussdeckel eines Rohrtresors angeordnet ist, wobei der elektronische Schlüssel in seiner Kontaktposition mit dem elektronischen Schloss gleichzeitig bevorzugt als Handgriff für die Betätigung des Verschlussdeckels dient.According to an advantageous application of an electronic locking system, the electronic lock is arranged on a cover of a tubular safe, the electronic key in its contact position with the electronic lock at the same time preferably serving as a handle for operating the cover.
Gemäß einer alternativen Anwendung eines elektronischen Schließsystems ist das elektronische Schloss einem Motorschloss oder einem Aktor einer zu sichernden Einrichtung vorgeschaltet und aktiviert dessen Bestromung. Wie bereits erwähnt können dadurch Schließfächer, Wertsachenfächer oder Tresore ohne ständige Spannungsversorgung betrieben werden, da der Strom für eine Initialisierung eines Zugangs vom elektronischen Schlüssel geliefert wird. Optional betätigt das elektronische Schloss dabei nach Bestätigung einer Authentifikation der Zugriffsberechtigung zunächst ein Steuergerät, mittels dem dann eine fremde Betriebsspannungsquelle zur Betätigung eines Motorschlosses oder eines sonstigen Aktors aktiviert wird.According to an alternative application of an electronic locking system, the electronic lock is connected upstream of a motorized lock or an actuator of a device to be secured and activates its energization. As already mentioned, lockers, valuables boxes or safes can be operated without a permanent power supply, since the power for initializing an access is supplied by the electronic key. Optionally, the electronic lock can be operated again Confirmation of an authentication of the access authorization first of all a control device, by means of which an external operating voltage source is then activated to operate a motor lock or another actuator.
Die Gegenkontaktflächen am elektronischen Schloss sind bevorzugt als konzentrische Kreise ausgebildet sind, die mit den Kontakten des elektronischen Schlüssels in beliebiger relativer Winkelposition des elektronischen Schlüssels in Kontakt treten. Da keinerlei rotatorische Ausrichtung des elektronischen Schlüssels in Bezug auf das elektronische Schloss erforderlich ist, ist das Andocken des elektronischen Schlüssels am elektronischen Schloss vom Benutzer auch bei schlechten Sichtverhältnissen extrem einfach durchzuführen.The mating contact surfaces on the electronic lock are preferably designed as concentric circles which come into contact with the contacts of the electronic key in any relative angular position of the electronic key. Since no rotational alignment of the electronic key with respect to the electronic lock is required, the docking of the electronic key on the electronic lock can be carried out extremely easily by the user, even in poor visibility conditions.
Ein erfindungsgemäßes Verfahren für eine gesicherte Erlangung einer Zugangsberechtigung oder für eine gesicherte Schlüssel-Übergabe für wenigstens einen Benutzer mittels eines erfindungsgemäßen Schließsystems zeichnet sich durch folgende Verfahrensschritte aus:
- Übersendung wenigstens einer für das elektronische Schloss (16) und/oder den Benutzer (22) charakteristischen Information (20; 22; 34) an eine entfernt vom elektronischen Schloss (16) angeordnete zentrale Informationsverarbeitungsstelle (30) mittels einer Kommunikationseinrichtung (24),
- Überprüfung der übersendeten Information (20; 22; 34) durch die zentrale Informationsverarbeitungsstelle (30),
- Übersendung eines Berechtigungscodes (36) an den Benutzer (22) mittels der Kommunikationseinrichtung (24) im Falle einer positiven Überprüfung der Information (20; 22; 34),
- Eingabe des Berechtigungscodes (36) durch den Benutzer (22) mittels der Eingabeeinrichtung (33) in den mitgeführten elektronischen Schlüssel (32),
- Entriegelung des elektronischen Schlosses (16) durch Zusammenwirken mit dem elektronischen Schlüssel (32).
- Sending at least one piece of information (20; 22; 34) characteristic of the electronic lock (16) and / or the user (22) to a central information processing point (30) arranged remotely from the electronic lock (16) by means of a communication device (24),
- Checking the transmitted information (20; 22; 34) by the central information processing point (30),
- Sending an authorization code (36) to the user (22) by means of the communication device (24) in the event of a positive check of the information (20; 22; 34),
- Input of the authorization code (36) by the user (22) by means of the input device (33) in the electronic key (32) carried,
- Unlocking the electronic lock (16) by interacting with the electronic key (32).
Durch die Überprüfung einer für das elektronische Schloss charakteristischen Information, beispielsweise einen im Bereich des Schlosses angeordneten, maschinell mittels einer Kommunikationseinrichtung oder manuell durch den Benutzer auslesbaren Codes und einer für den Benutzer charakteristischen Information, beispielsweise einem Passwort oder einer in die Kommunikationseinrichtung eingegebenen Buchstaben-/Zahlenkombination, die mittels einer Kommunikationseinrichtung an eine vom Schloss entfernt angeordnete zentrale Informationsverarbeitungsstelle gesendet und dort geprüft werden, ist ein hohes Maß an Sicherheit gegeben. Die Zugangsberechtigung wird nicht vor Ort im Bereich des zu öffnenden elektronischen Schlosses sondern entfernt davon in der Informationsverarbeitungsstelle geprüft und erteilt.By checking a piece of information that is characteristic of the electronic lock, for example a code which is arranged in the area of the lock and can be read out automatically by means of a communication device or manually by the user, and a piece of information that is characteristic of the user, for example a password or a letter / code entered into the communication device. Combination of numbers, which are sent by means of a communication device to a central information processing point located away from the lock and checked there, ensures a high level of security. The access authorization is not checked and issued on site in the area of the electronic lock to be opened, but away from it in the information processing center.
Nach der Erteilung und Übersendung des Berechtigungscodes wird dieser an einen vom Benutzer mitgeführten elektronischen Schlüssel übermittelt, mittels dem dann die Entriegelung des elektronischen Schlosses erfolgt. Die Übermittlung des Berechtigungscodes an den elektronischen Schlüssel stellt eine weitere vorteilhafte Sicherheitsbarriere dar. Alternativ zu einer manuellen Eingabe des übermittelten Berechtigungscodes in den elektronischen Schlüssel mittels einer Eingabeeinrichtung kann die Übermittlung des Berechtigungscodes auch automatisch, beispielsweise durch eine Übertragung mittels Bluetooth, eines Infrarotsenders oder anderer Nahbereichsübertragungsverfahren von der Kommunikationseinrichtung an den elektronischen Schlüssel erfolgen.After the authorization code has been issued and sent, it is transmitted to an electronic key carried by the user, which is then used to unlock the electronic lock. The transmission of the authorization code to the electronic key represents a further advantageous security barrier. As an alternative to manually entering the transmitted authorization code in the electronic key using an input device, the transmission of the authorization code can also be carried out automatically, for example by transmission using Bluetooth, an infrared transmitter or other short-range transmission methods from the communication device to the electronic key.
Das elektronische Schloss kann dabei selbst bereits eine Zugangsberechtigung zu einem geschützten Bereich oder einer geschützten Einrichtung ermöglichen. In einer alternativen Ausführungsform wird der geschützte Bereich jedoch von einem relativ kleinen, außen an einem Gebäude oder in der Nähe des Gebäudes angeordneten einbruchssicheren Behälter, beispielsweise einem Rohrtresor, gebildet. In diesem Rohrtresor gibt das elektronische Schloss nach Entriegelung durch den elektronischen Schlüssel den Zugang zu einem physikalischen Schlüssel frei, mittels dem dann das Gebäude betreten werden kann. Dabei ist der physikalische Schlüssel besonders vorteilhaft mit der Innenseite eines das elektronische Schloss beinhaltenden Verschlussdeckels des Rohrtresors verbunden, so dass dessen Rückgabe an den Rohrtresor nach Verlassen des Gebäudes und dem Wiederverschließen des Rohrtresors mittels des Verschlussdeckels zwangsweise erfolgt.The electronic lock itself can enable access authorization to a protected area or a protected facility. In an alternative embodiment, however, the protected area is from a relatively small, external to one Buildings or burglar-proof containers arranged in the vicinity of the building, for example a tubular safe, are formed. In this tubular safe, the electronic lock gives access to a physical key after unlocking with the electronic key, with which the building can then be entered. The physical key is particularly advantageously connected to the inside of a cover of the tubular safe containing the electronic lock, so that it is returned to the tubular safe after leaving the building and reclosing the tubular safe by means of the locking cover.
Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Anwendung empfängt das elektronische Schloss nach erfolgter Authentifikationsprüfung eine von einer elektrischen Spannungsquelle des elektronischen Schlüssels übertragene durch einen Spannungswandler veränderte Spannung und leitet diese zur Aktivierung eines elektrischen Motorschlosses oder eines elektrischen Aktors -optional unter Zwischenschaltung eines Steuergeräts - an diese weiter.According to a further advantageous application, after the authentication check has been carried out, the electronic lock receives a voltage changed by a voltage converter transmitted from an electrical voltage source of the electronic key and forwards this to the activation of an electrical motor lock or an electrical actuator - optionally with the interposition of a control unit.
In einer besonders einfachen Form wird die Kommunikationseinrichtung von einem Mobiltelefon gebildet, mittels dem der Benutzer - beispielsweise ein Wachmann eines Sicherheitsdienstes - die Informationsverarbeitungsstelle - beispielsweise die Servicezentrale des Sicherheitsdienstes - anruft und seinen Namen, eine für das Schloss spezifische Information und ein Passwort übermittelt, woraufhin die Informationsverarbeitungsstelle diese Informationen prüft, gegebenenfalls zusätzlich mit einem dort hinterlegten Einsatzplan abgleicht und bei einer positiven Bewertung aller Informationen einen Berechtigungscode an den Benutzer oder die Kommunikationseinrichtung übermittelt. Der Berechtigungscode kann dem Benutzer telefonisch mitgeteilt werden oder auch über eine von einem Rechner in der Informationsverarbeitungsstelle generierte Kurzmitteilung (SMS).In a particularly simple form, the communication device is formed by a mobile phone, by means of which the user - for example a guard from a security service - calls the information processing point - for example the service center of the security service - and transmits his name, information specific to the lock and a password, whereupon the information processing point checks this information, if necessary also compares it with an operational plan stored there and, if all information is positive, transmits an authorization code to the user or the communication device. The authorization code can be communicated to the user by telephone or via a short message (SMS) generated by a computer in the information processing center.
Der Benutzer gibt diesen Berechtigungscode über die Eingabevorrichtung an den von ihm mitgeführten elektronischen Schlüssel weiter und kann dann mit dem elektronischen Schlüssel das elektronische Schloss durch in Kontakt bringen betätigen.The user passes this authorization code on via the input device to the electronic key he is carrying and can then actuate the electronic lock by bringing it into contact with the electronic key.
Ausgehend von dieser besonders einfachen Form können einer oder mehrerer dieser Schritte automatisiert erfolgen. So kann beispielsweise mittels einer in der Kommunikationseinrichtung gespeicherten Software ("App") und entsprechenden Sensoren - beispielsweise einer Kamera eines als Kommunikationseinrichtung dienenden Smartphones - der Code des elektronischen Schlosses automatisch ausgelesen werden. Dies kann beispielsweise mittels eines in dem Smartphone gespeicherten Barcode-Leseprogramms oder Aztec-Code-Leseprogramms erfolgen, wozu in diesen Fällen ein entsprechender grafischer Code im Bereich des elektronischen Schlosses angeordnet ist. Es sind jedoch ebenso auch andere im Bereich des elektronischen Schlosses angeordnete elektronische Signalgeber und entsprechend darauf ausgerichtete Sensoren in der Kommunikationseinrichtung möglich, beispielsweise ein unsichtbares, magnetisch codiertes Signal.Starting from this particularly simple form, one or more of these steps can be carried out in an automated manner. For example, the code of the electronic lock can be read out automatically by means of software ("app") stored in the communication device and corresponding sensors - for example a camera of a smartphone serving as communication device. This can be done, for example, by means of a barcode reading program or Aztec code reading program stored in the smartphone, for which purpose a corresponding graphic code is arranged in the area of the electronic lock in these cases. However, other electronic signal transmitters arranged in the area of the electronic lock and correspondingly aligned sensors in the communication device are also possible, for example an invisible, magnetically coded signal.
Der Berechtigungscode kann auch als Barcode, QR-Code oder in ähnlicher Form an das Smartphone des Benutzers übermittelt werden. Der übermittelte Code wird dann in dem Falle, dass er in maschinenlesbarer Form übermittelt wird, von der Kommunikationseinrichtung (dem Smartphone) an eine elektronische Eingabevorrichtung am elektronischen Schlüssel übertragen.The authorization code can also be transmitted to the user's smartphone as a barcode, QR code or similar. If the transmitted code is transmitted in machine-readable form, it is transmitted from the communication device (the smartphone) to an electronic input device on the electronic key.
Die für den Benutzer charakteristische Information kann auch durch die in der Kommunikationseinrichtung gespeicherte Software automatisiert beispielsweise nach Einlesen der für das elektronische Schloss spezifischen Information abgefragt und vom Benutzer beispielsweise als Buchstaben-/Zahlenkombination eingegeben und an die Informationsverarbeitungsstelle übermittelt werden.The information characteristic of the user can also be automatically queried by the software stored in the communication device, for example after reading in the information specific to the electronic lock, and by the user, for example, as a letter / number combination entered and transmitted to the information processing center.
Als weiterer vorteilhafter Verfahrensschritt ist vorgesehen, dass die Informationsverarbeitungsstelle vor der Übersendung eines Berechtigungscodes an den Benutzer zusätzlich zu der für das elektronische Schloss und/oder für den Benutzer charakteristischen Information eine mit beiden Informationen durch einen Einsatzplan verknüpfte Information für den Einsatzort und/oder die Einsatzzeit prüft. Hierdurch wird eine zusätzliche Sicherheit geschaffen, da ausgeschlossen wird, dass ein Zugangscode auch völlig außerhalb einer normalen vorgesehenen Route eines Sicherheitspersonals übermittelt wird.As a further advantageous method step it is provided that the information processing point, before sending an authorization code to the user, in addition to the information characteristic of the electronic lock and / or the user, an information linked to both pieces of information by a deployment plan for the location and / or the time of deployment checks. This creates additional security, since it is excluded that an access code is also transmitted completely outside of a normal route provided by a security staff.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass das elektronische Schloss und/oder die von diesem geschützte Einrichtung beim Freigeben und beim Schließen des elektronischen Schlosses eine Information an die zentrale Informationsverarbeitungsstelle sendet.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the electronic lock and / or the device protected by it sends information to the central information processing point when the electronic lock is released and when it is closed.
Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung des Systems sieht vor, dass die Prüfung in der zentralen Informationsverarbeitungsstelle weiterhin die Auswertung wenigstens eines Zeit-Parameters umfasst, der die für das Schloss und/oder den Benutzer charakteristischen Information anhand eines hinterlegten Zeitplans - insbesondere den Routenplan eines Wachmanns - für das vorgesehene Öffnen des Schlosses verifiziert.An advantageous further development of the system provides that the check in the central information processing point also includes the evaluation of at least one time parameter that contains the information characteristic of the lock and / or the user on the basis of a stored schedule - in particular the route plan of a security guard - for the intended opening of the lock verified.
In einer besonderen Ausgestaltung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Kommunikationseinrichtung und der elektronische Schlüssel eine Einheit bilden. Diese Einheit vereint alle Funktionen eines Senders und Empfängers zur Erfassung und Übersendung der für das Schloss und/oder den Benutzer charakteristischen Informationen an eine zentrale Informationsverarbeitungsstelle und zum Empfang eines Berechtigungscodes mit der Funktion des elektronischen Schlüssels. Mittels des eingegangenen Berechtigungscodes wird der elektronische Schlüssel, beispielsweise ein magnetischer Transponder, so programmiert, dass dieser zum Öffnen des elektronischen Schlosses verwendbar ist.In a special embodiment it can be provided that the communication device and the electronic key form a unit. This unit combines all the functions of a transmitter and receiver for recording and transmitting the information characteristic of the lock and / or the user to a central information processing point and for receiving an authorization code with the function of the electronic key. Means Once the authorization code has been received, the electronic key, for example a magnetic transponder, is programmed so that it can be used to open the electronic lock.

An der Innenseite des Verschlussdeckels 14 ist - wie in
An der mittels des elektronischen Schlosses 16 versperrten Verschlussvorrichtung 10 ist ein für das elektronische Schloss 16 charakteristischer Code 20 angeordnet. Dieser ist im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel in Form eines Barcodes 20 ausgebildet, kann jedoch auch von einem Aztek-Code oder einem unsichtbaren magnetischen Code gebildet werden. Der Code 20 kann im einfachsten Falle von einem Benutzer 20 manuell ausgelesen werden. Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung verfügt eine vom Benutzer 22 mitgeführte Kommunikationseinrichtung 24 über einen Sensor oder eine Leseeinrichtung zum automatischen Erfassen des Codes 20. Die Kommunikationseinrichtung 24 kann beispielsweise von einem Smartphone gebildet werden, dessen Kamera in Verbindung mit einem gespeicherten Anwendungsprogramm ("App") zum Einlesen eines Barcodes oder alternativ eines Aztek-Codes dient, die im Ausführungsbeispiel als für das elektronische Schloss 16 charakteristischer Code 20 verwendet werden. Wie schon erwähnt, können auch unsichtbare, magnetisch oder über ein Funksignal übermittelte Codes 20 durch das elektronische Schloss 16 oder eine in dessen Nähe angeordnete Einrichtung ausgesendet und von der Kommunikationseinrichtung 24 empfangen oder ausgelesen werden.A
Das elektronische Schloss 16 ist mittels eines elektronischen Schlüssels 32 aufschließbar, sofern in diesen elektronischen Schlüssel 32 ein für das elektronische Schloss 16 passender Berechtigungscode 36 eingegeben wird. In
Diesem Vorgang voraus geht jedoch erfindungsgemäß die in den
In der Informationsverarbeitungsstelle 30 wird der Anfrage-Datensatz 34 mit den darin enthaltenen Codes 20 und 26 vorzugsweise unter zusätzlichem Abgleich mit einem Zeit-Parameter 28 (beispielsweise dem Dienstplan oder Routenplan des Benutzers 22) geprüft. Sofern diese Überprüfung zu einem positiven Ergebnis führt, sendet die Informationsverarbeitungsstelle 30 einen Berechtigungscode 36 an die Kommunikationseinrichtung 24. Dies kann im einfachsten Fall wiederum durch ein Telefonat erfolgen. Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung erfolgt die Übermittlung des Berechtigungscodes 36 an die Kommunikationseinrichtung 24 automatisiert, beispielsweise in Form einer in eine Kurzmitteilung (SMS) eingebetteten Zeichenkette.In the
Der Berechtigungscode 36 wird vom Benutzer 22, wie bereits in Verbindung mit
Die zentrale Informationsverarbeitungsstelle 30 weist vorteilhaft wenigstens einen Client-Rechner 310 und wenigstens einen Server 320 auf. Der Client-Rechner 310 dient zum Empfang des Anfrage-Datensatzes 34 und zur Übermittlung dieses Datensatzes an den Server 320. Der Daten-Verkehr zwischen dem Client-Rechner 310 und dem Server 320 ist in den Figuren mit 315 bezeichnet.The central
Im Server 320 werden zusätzlich Zeit-Parameter 28 gespeichert, die beispielsweise einen Routenplan des Benutzers 22 mit einer für das Öffnen des betreffenden elektronischen Schlosses 16 charakteristischen Zeit vorzugsweise mit einem entsprechenden Zeitpuffer (früheste Öffnungszeit, späteste Öffnungszeit, späteste Schließzeit) abbilden. Sämtliche Daten im Server 320 werden von einem Administrator 330 verwaltet. Der Datenverkehr zwischen dem Server 320 und dem Administrator 330 ist in den Figuren mit 325 bezeichnet.In addition, time parameters 28 are stored in the
An den Server 320 wird vorzugsweise auch ein Signal übermittelt, das beim Öffnen und Schließen des elektronischen Schlosses 16 von einem am elektronischen Schloss 16 installierten Sender automatisch gesendet wird. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren und das erfindungsgemäße System können entgegen der Darstellung in den
Dass das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren und System zur gesicherten Freigabe einer Zugangsberechtigung bzw. zur gesicherten Schlüssel-Übergabe auch auf Seiten des Benutzers 22 vollautomatisch erfolgen kann, wurde bereits im Zusammenhang mit den möglichen Ausführungsformen der Kommunikationseinrichtung 24 und des elektronischen Schlüssels 32 beschrieben.The fact that the method and system according to the invention for the secure release of an access authorization or for the secure key handover can also take place fully automatically on the part of the
Der elektronische Schlüssel 32 ist gemäß der Erfindung mit einer Eingabeeinrichtung 33 versehen, mittels der der Benutzer 22 den von der zentralen Informationsverarbeitungsstelle 30 an die Kommunikationseinrichtung 24 übermittelten Berechtigungscode 36 in den elektronischen Schlüssel eingeben kann. Ein derartiger, mit einer Eingabeeinrichtung 33 versehener elektronischer Schlüssel 32 ist generell auch an Stelle der heute schon weit verbreiteten stationären Eingabeeinrichtungen verwendbar, bei denen die Eingabe eines Codes durch einen berechtigten Benutzer von einem unberechtigten Beobachter relativ leicht beobachtet werden kann und dadurch ein erhebliches Sicherheitsrisiko darstellt. Dagegen kann die Eingabe eines Codes in einen mobilen elektronischen Schlüssel 32, der erst im Anschluss zur Öffnung eines elektronischen Schlosses verwendet wird, völlig unbeobachtet schon in einiger Entfernung vom elektronischen Schloss 16 erfolgen.According to the invention, the
Als elektronischer Schlüssel 32 kann wie im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ein auf das elektronische Schloss 16 aufgesetzter, durch Magnetkraft temporär mit dem elektronischen Schloss 16 verbundener Schlüssel 32 verwendet werden. Die Magnetkräfte werden durch einen Magneten 329 im zentralen Bereich des elektronischen Schlüssels 32 und durch einen Gegenmagneten 161 im zentralen Bereich des elektronischen Schlosses 16 bereitgestellt, die bevorzugt als Permanent-Ringmagnete ausgebildet sind und für eine automatische Zentrierung des elektronischen Schlüssels 32 mit dem elektronischen Schloss 16 sowie eine Ausrichtung der Kontakte 324, 325 und 326 zu den konzentrisch angeordneten Gegenkontaktflächen 164, 165, 166 am elektronischen Schloss 16 unabhängig vom relativen Winkel zueinander sorgen.As in the exemplary embodiment shown, an electronic key 32 placed on the
Es sind jedoch ebenso berührungslos über eine gewisse Distanz mit dem elektronischen Schloss 16 zusammenwirkende elektronische Schlüssel 32, beispielsweise in Form eines Transponders, verwendbar.However,
Der elektronische Schlüssel 32 weist ein Gehäuse 321 auf, auf dessen Vorderseite gemäß
In der rückseitigen Ansicht des elektronischen Schlüssels 32 gemäß
Zur Erhöhung der Ausgangsspannung auf beispielsweise 12 V ist ein Spannungswandler in Form eines DC/DC-Wandlers 323 im elektronischen Schlüssel 32 angeordnet.To increase the output voltage to 12 V, for example, a voltage converter in the form of a DC /
Der elektronische Schlüssel 32 ist weiterhin mit wenigstens einer Schnittstelle 328 versehen, die im vorliegenden Fall beispielsweise von einer Micro-USB-Schnittstelle gebildet wird und zur Programmierung des elektronischen Schlüssels 32 und optional auch zur Aufladung des Akkumulators 322 dient.The
Der elektronische Schlüssel 32 wirkt entweder mit dem in den
Das Beispiel gemäß
Zwischen dem elektronischen Schloss 16 und dem Motorschloss 40 ist in diesem Fall noch ein Steuergerät 50 angeordnet, das mittels einer eigenen Spannungsversorgung versorgbar ist, die jedoch erst durch die Betätigung des elektronischen Schlosses 16 aktiviert wird. Nach Übermittlung eines gültigen Berechtigungscodes 36 vom in
Der Vorteil einer mittelbaren Betätigung liegt darin, dass bei einer Nichtbenutzung der geschützten Einrichtung an dieser auch keine Betriebsspannung anliegen muss. Diese kann durch den elektronischen Schlüssel 32 über das elektronische Schloss 16 bei Bedarf jederzeit initialisiert werden.The advantage of indirect actuation is that when the protected device is not in use, no operating voltage has to be applied to it. This can be initialized at any time by the
An Stelle der gezeigten drei Kontakte 324, 325 und 326 des elektronischen Schlüssels 32 mit den drei Gegenkontakten 164, 165 und 166 des elektronischen Schlosses, genügen bei einer Abwandlung auch zwei dieser Kontakte, wenn die Datenübertragung beispielsweise gleichzeitig mit über den Massekontakt erfolgt.Instead of the shown three
Ein Lithium-Ionen-Akkumulator 322 kann mit einer Eingangsspannung von 3,7 V mittels eines DC/DC-Wandlers mit hohem Wirkungsgrad bei einer Ausgangsspannung von 12 V kurzzeitig eine Leistung von 7 Watt bereitstellen. Die Kapazität des Akkumulators 322 reicht dann ohne Nachladung für ca. 700 Öffnungsvorgänge. Ein Unterspannungsschutz signalisiert bevorzugt am elektronischen Schlüssel 32 mittels einer Diode und/oder eines Summers einen Abfall der Akku-Spannung beispielsweise auf 2,7 V, so dass vor einem weiteren Einsatz eine Nachladung des Akkumulators 322 erfolgen muss.A lithium-
Vorteilhaft ist auch das Vorsehen eines nicht dargestellten Kondensators im Steuergerät 50 zur Pufferung der vom elektronischen Schlüssel 32 übermittelten Energie. Der Kondensator wird während oder unmittelbar nach Prüfung der Zugangsberechtigung geladen und führt dann mit seiner gespeicherten Ladungs-Kapazität allein den anschließenden Öffnungs- bzw. Freigabevorgang aus. Der Kondensator gewährleistet, dass das elektronische Schloss 16 bei einer mangelhaften Restkapazität des Akkumulators 322 nicht während eines Öffnungsvorgangs in einer Zwischenstellung hängen bleibt.It is also advantageous to provide a capacitor (not shown) in
Durch Verwendung von Teilen aus dem Mobilfunkbereich sind der elektronische Schlüssel, das elektronische Schließsystem und das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren kostengünstig realisierbar.By using parts from the mobile radio sector, the electronic key, the electronic locking system and the method according to the invention can be implemented cost-effectively.
Die Steuerelektronik kann in 5 Unterfunktionsbaugruppen aufgeteilt werden:
- Microcontroller mit Speicher und Resetcontroller
- Identifikationsbaustein mit Timer und Signalisierung
- Schaltstufe und Festspannungsausgängen
- Stromversorgung
- DC/DC Wandler (Wird dieses Modul eingesetzt, entfällt die externe Stromversorgung!)
- Microcontroller with memory and reset controller
- Identification module with timer and signaling
- Switching stage and fixed voltage outputs
- Power supply
- DC / DC converter (If this module is used, the external power supply is not required!)
Zur zentralen Steuerung und Auswertung des gesamten Informationsaustauschs zwischen Pylocx-Systemschlüssel (elektronischer Schlüssel 32) und Steuergerät 50 inklusive der Ansteuerung des Motorschlosses 40 wird ein PIC Microcontroller der Firma Microchip verwendet. Hierbei spielen Energiebedarf, hohe Integrationsdichte,A PIC microcontroller from Microchip is used for the central control and evaluation of the entire exchange of information between the Pylocx system key (electronic key 32) and
Wirtschaftlichkeit aber auch die große Erfahrung mit dem PC-Assembler die entscheidende Rolle. Um Daten nichtflüchtig zu speichern, kommuniziert der Microcontroller über einen I2C Bus mit einem EEPROM mit 256Kb.Economic efficiency but also the great experience with the PC assembler play a decisive role. In order to save data in a non-volatile manner, the microcontroller communicates via an I 2 C bus with an EEPROM with 256Kb.
Um beim Einschalten der Stromversorgung bzw. bei kurzfristigen Spannungseinbrüchen den Microcontroller definiert ein- und auszuschalten, wird ein Resetcontroller eingesetzt. Dieser Resetcontroller schaltet den Microcontroller bei einer Betriebspannung <2,4V in den Reset und gibt den Reset bei einer Betriebspannung >2,7V wieder frei.To switch the microcontroller on and off in a defined manner when the power supply is switched on or in the event of brief voltage drops, a reset controller is used. This reset controller switches the microcontroller into the reset at an operating voltage <2.4V and enables the reset again at an operating voltage> 2.7V.
Jedes Steuermodul (Steuergerät 50) muss eine eindeutige, einmalige und unveränderbare Identifikation besitzen. Der gewählte Bausstein aus der DS Familie der Fa. Dallas besitzt eine solchen ROM Code und eignet sich somit hervorragend. Zusätzlich ist in diesem Baustein eine Echtzeituhr integriert, die zum Protokollieren von Ereignissen notwendig ist. Die Echtzeituhr benötigt natürlich eine kontinuierliche Stromversorgung, weshalb hier eine Lithium-Knopfzelle eingesetzt wird. Die Lithiumzelle stellt mindestens für 10 Jahre die Stromversorgung der Echzeituhr sicher. Der Identifikationsbaustein kommuniziert über ein MicroLAN Protokoll mit dem Microcontroller.Each control module (control unit 50) must have a unique, unique and unchangeable identification. The selected building block from the DS family of the Dallas company has such a ROM code and is therefore excellently suited. In addition, a real-time clock is integrated in this module, which is necessary for logging events. The real-time clock naturally requires a continuous power supply, which is why a lithium button cell is used here. The lithium cell ensures the power supply of the real-time watch for at least 10 years. The identification module communicates with the microcontroller via a MicroLAN protocol.
Um den Bediener über Zustände des Steuergerätes 50 zu informieren, ist ein akustischer Signalgeber (Piezo-Piepser) integriert, der auch durch das Gehäuse gut zu hören ist. Sollte eine abgesetzte Signalisierung gewünscht werden, ist über den entsprechenden Ausgang eine akustische und/oder optische Signalquelle anschließbar. Diese externe Signalisierung läuft synchron zur Internen.In order to inform the operator about the status of the
Das Steuermodul (Steuergerät 50) soll hinsichtlich der anzuschließenden Motorschlösser 40 und elektrischer Riegel sehr universell einsetzbar sein. Aus diesem Grund wurde ein Relais als potentialfreier Umschalter zur Ansteuerung der Motorschlösser 40 bzw. der elektrischen Riegel ausgewählt. Wird zur Ansteuerung von Schaltelementen eine Gleichspannung benötigt, kann über den entsprechenden Ausgang eine Festspannung über den potentialfreien Umschalter geschaltet werden. Der Festspannungsausgang kann über einen Jumper (im Inneren des Steuergerätes) konfiguriert werden. Es stehen 3 Spannungen zur Auswahl: 6V, 9V oder 12V jeweils max. 500mA. Die Festspannungen sind stabilisiert und entstört (Restwelligkeit < 20mV).The control module (control unit 50) should be able to be used very universally with regard to the motor locks 40 and electric bolts to be connected. For this reason, a relay was selected as a potential-free switch to control the
Das Steuermodul (Steuergerät 50) wird über Netzspannung versorgt. Als Netzteil kommt ein gekapseltes Schaltnetzteil zur Anwendung. Zum Schutz vor Überlast befindet sich eine Feinsicherung (200mA träge) im Primärkreis des Netzteils. Die Feinsicherung befindet sich im Inneren des Steuergeräts 50. Durch entsprechende Schaltungstechnik des Schaltnetzteils, sind Eingangsspannungen von 110 bis 250 VAC 50/60 Hz anschließbar. Das Schaltnetzteil liefert 12VDC Ausgangsspannung, die 6 VDC und 9 VDC werden aus den 12 VDC über Festspannungsregler (auf Kühlblech) generiert.The control module (control unit 50) is supplied via mains voltage. An encapsulated switched-mode power supply is used as the power supply unit. A microfuse (200mA slow) is located in the primary circuit of the power supply unit to protect against overload. The microfuse is located inside the
Bei Stromausfall kann das Steuergerät 50 von außen mit Spannung versorgt werden (Notbestromung). Hierzu wird ein Pylocx-Notbestromungsgerät mit der Pylocx-Kontaktstelle (elektronisches Schloss 16) verbunden. Dabei wird die Spannung der internen Batterie (9V) des Pylocx-Notbestromungsgeräts über den Mittelkontakt 165 der Pylocx-Kontaktstelle (elektronisches Schloss 16) direkt dem Steuermodul (Steuergerät 50) zur Verfügung gestellt. Sodann wird der entsprechende Pylocx-Transponder mit dem Notbestromungsgerät verbunden. Die weitere Bedienung ist wie im Normalbetrieb. Es ist zu beachten, dass durch den 9V-Notbetrieb 12V-Schlösser nur eingeschränkt versorgt werden können, Ebenfalls ist der Strom durch den Batteriebetrieb auf 300mA beschränkt.In the event of a power failure, the
Der DC/DC Wandler wird über den Notstromeingang (innerster Kontakt der Kontaktstelle) des Steuergerätes angesteuert. Die hier eingespeiste Spannung (3,7 VDC) des Akkus 322 aus dem elektronischen Schlüssel 32 wird vom DC/DC Wandler auf 12 VDC hochtransformiert. Diese 12 VDC werden dem Stromversorgungsteil des Steuergerätes zugeführt. Anstelle der 12 VDC die das Schaltnetzteil aus den 230 VAC generiert, stehen nun für die interne Elektronik des Steuergerätes sowie zur Ansteuerung eines externen Motorschlosses direkt diese 12 VDC zu Verfügung. Somit ist keine externe Stromversorgung zum Betrieb notwendig.The DC / DC converter is controlled via the emergency power input (innermost contact of the contact point) of the control unit. The voltage fed in here (3.7 VDC) of the
Um die Firmware des Microcontrollers im Fertigungsprozess zu laden, ist eine 5-polige Kontaktleiste vorhanden. Über diese Kontaktleiste kann auch ein Software-Update der Firmware durchgeführt werden. Die Kontaktleiste befindet sich direkt auf der Leiterplatte des Steuergerätes 50 und ist für den Nutzer nicht zugänglich. Des weiteren wurden EMV Schutzkomponenten an den Schnittstellen nach außen vorgesehen. Der MicroLAN, die Steuereingänge und der Universaleingang sind über Suppressor-Dioden geschützt, der externe Signalausgang ist über ein VDR-Überspannung geschützt. Um die Schutzfunktion zu erhöhen, befinden sich weitere Bauelemente zum Schutz der MicroLAN Leitung und der Betriebsspannungsleitung auf der Leiterplatte. Die MicroLAN Leitung wird über einen weiteren Varistor geschützt. Die Notbestromungsleitung wird ebenfalls mit einem Varistor geschützt. Zusätzlich ist zum Schutz von DC Spannung eine Zenerdiode mit PPTC eingefügt. Mit diesen Maßnahmen werden Gleichspannungen (ohne Strombegrenzung) bis 30V und statische Hochspannung bis 6kV sicher abgeblockt. Um 220 V Wechselspannung, die über die Kontaktstelle eingespeist werden kann, abzublocken, können zwei Gasableiter in einem separaten Gehäuse zwischen Steuergerät 50 und Kontaktstelle (elektronisches Schloss 16 ) geschaltet werden. Die obligatorischen Blockkondensatoren wurden berücksichtigt.A 5-pin contact strip is available to load the firmware of the microcontroller in the manufacturing process. A software update of the firmware can also be carried out via this contact strip. The contact strip is located directly on the circuit board of the
