  • GPS Global Position System
  • GPRS General Packet Radio Service
  • door-clamping sensors need enough space for their installation in containers and only can be installed in common containers, because door-clamping sensors are clamped between doors and door frames, causing very large gaps therebetween, which is not allowed for cold chain containers, as well as other special containers.
  • the electronic seal capable of being removably attached to an exterior surface of an object to be sealed, comprising: a seal-tearing sensor configured to have different states when the electronic seal is attached to the object to be sealed and when the electronic seal is not attached to the object to be sealed; a control unit configured to determine the state of the electronic seal at least partially based on the state of the seal-tearing senor; a communication unit configured to communicate with an external device to send state data of the electronic seal.
  • an electronic lock comprising: a communication unit configured to communicate with an electronic seal; and a control unit configured to determine the state of the electronic seal based on electronic seal state data received from the electronic seal through the communication unit, and when the state of the electronic seal is abnormal, report an exception to a management center.
  • an electronic seal comprising: a fixing component for removably attaching the electronic seal to an object to be sealed; a seal-tearing sensor configured to detect the attachment state of the electronic seal and the object to be sealed.
  • an implementation method of electronic seal comprising: attaching the electronic seal to an exterior surface of an object to be sealed; detecting whether the electronic seal is attached to the object to be sealed through a sensor, if the electronic seal is attached to the object to be sealed, an attachment state is outputted by the sensor, if the electronic seal is separate from the object to be sealed, a remove state is outputted by the sensor; determining the state of the electronic seal based on the output state of the sensor

  • the seal housing 101 may be made of a magnetically permeable material (i.e., magnetic field permeable), such as a metal material.
  • the electronic seal 100 may be removably attached to an exterior surface of an object to be sealed. Because it is only needed to attach to an exterior surface of the object, attaching and detaching the electronic seal 100 do not change the packing state of the object to be sealed. For example, for an object that is hermetically packed, its hermetic package may be remained.
  • the electronic seal may be arranged on a path that must be traveled to access the interior of the pack. For example, in the case of an application to a container, the electronic seal 100 may be attached to an outer wall of container doors across a seam therebetween.

  • the seal-tearing sensor 103 may be faced toward the magnet 500, so that it may detect a magnetic signal.
  • the magnet 500 in general is attached to the object to be sealed (due to magnetic force), so that the seal-tearing sensor 103 may detect decay of the magnetic signal, or even detect no magnetic signal at all. According to the change in the magnetic signal detected by the seal-tearing sensor 103, an attachment/detachment state of the electronic seal 100 may be detected.

  • the size of the magnet 500 is preferably smaller than the size of the groove receiving the magnet 500 on the casing 101, and a magnet 500 having a size equivalent to that of the groove on the casing 101 has to be avoided.
