That is, when using the password input through the key input unit 106 as the release signal, the release signal input unit 104 and the key input unit 106 is not configured separately. On the other hand, when a separate identification method such as a fingerprint recognition, a user ID card using an RFID-based short-range wireless communication, an iris recognition, etc. as a release signal is used as a release signal, the fingerprint recognition unit corresponding to the identification method is used. The RF signal communication unit, the release signal input unit 104 such as an iris recognition unit is configured separately. The release signal input unit 104 employs well-known techniques, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The main controller 200 receives and releases the setting release signal and the setting release condition output from the input device 102, and receives the release signal output from the input device 102 and compares the setting release signal with the stored setting release signal. If the release signal is the same, it is determined whether the stored release condition is satisfied, and if the release condition is satisfied, the lock release signal is output.

When the user inputs the setting release signal and setting release condition that he / she wants to use by operating the input device 102, the main control unit 200 performs a predetermined encryption process to store the setting release signal and setting release condition. Done. If the data input as the setting release signal is a password using a keypad, character information (including numbers) is encrypted and stored, and in the case of biometric information such as fingerprint information and iris information other than the password, the feature points are found and encrypted. Will be stored. In addition, when the personal identification card using the short range wireless communication is input as the setting release signal, the unique number of the short range wireless communication chip of the personal identification card is stored as the setting release signal. In addition, the setting release signal inputted without undergoing an encryption process may be stored as it is and used to determine the release signal identity.

In addition, when the user inputs a release signal through the input device 102 to release the lock state of the lock / release device 260, the main control unit 200 receives the input release signal and uses the same algorithm. After the encryption or feature point extraction, the encryption process is performed to determine the identity of the processed release signal and the stored release signal according to a predetermined algorithm. If the identity is authenticated, the release condition is satisfied. If the lock release signal is output.

More preferably, the main control device 200 according to the present invention may include a memory unit 220, a release control unit 210, and a main control unit 218.

If the release condition is satisfied, the lock release signal is output.

Also, the release controller 210 according to the present invention may more preferably include a release signal comparison module 212, a time setting comparison module 214, and a number setting comparison module 216.

The release signal comparison module 212 receives the release signal output from the input device 102 to determine whether it is the same as the release signal stored in the memory unit 220. As described above, when the setting release signal is processed and stored by a predetermined algorithm, the release signal comparing module 212 processes the release signal input through the input device 102 by the same algorithm and then is identical to the setting release signal. It will be judged.

The time setting comparison module 214 is inputted through the input device 102 when the release signal identity is authenticated by the release signal comparison module 212 and the release time is set as the release condition stored in the memory unit 220. It is determined whether the release signal is input at the release time, and when the release signal is input, the lock release signal is output. That is, when the user sets the lock / release device 260 to be released only when the release signal is input at 10 am, the time setting comparison module 214 sets the input time of the release signal input by the user. If it is determined that the time is not 10:00 am to maintain the lock state of the lock / release device 260, if it is input at 10 am to output a lock release signal for releasing the lock state of the lock / release device 260 . The release time may be set to an accurate time or may be set to a certain range of time.

In addition, the time setting comparison module 214 according to the present invention, when the release signal identity is authenticated by the release signal comparison module 212, the time elapsed condition is set as the setting release condition stored in the memory unit 220, It may be configured to output the unlock signal after the waiting time corresponding to the condition has elapsed. That is, when the user sets the lock state of the lock / release device 260 to be released only after 10 minutes have elapsed after the correct release signal is input, the time setting comparison module 214 sets the release signal by the release signal comparison module 212. After 10 minutes have elapsed, the lock release signal is output.

In order to perform the time condition comparison as described above, the time setting comparison module 214 according to the present invention may include a time measurement module (not shown) therein, and may be configured to measure an accurate time.

When the release signal comparison module 216 is authenticated by the release signal comparison module 212 and the release signal identity is set, and the release signal input count condition is set as the release release condition stored in the memory unit 220, the input device 102 is turned on. The lock release signal is output when the release signal is input the same number of times as the release signal input frequency condition by comparing the input frequency of the release signal input through the release signal input frequency condition. That is, when the user sets the lock state to be released when the correct release signal is input three times as the release condition, the number setting comparison module 216 performs authentication of the release signal three times by the release signal comparison module 212. If the authentication is made three times, the lock release signal is output. If an invalid release signal is input during this authentication process, the unlocking process is terminated, and the user must perform the unlocking process again from the beginning.

The release control unit 210 according to the present invention includes a time setting comparison module 214 for comparing the release time described above, a time setting comparison module 214 for comparing time-lapse conditions, and a number setting comparison module 216 for comparing an input frequency. At least one comparison module may be included, and may be configured to perform the release time condition comparison and the time-lapse condition comparison as one time setting comparison module 214.

As the display device 108, a display device such as an LED or an LCD may be used, and the display device 108 may operate with various menus and information for operating the release condition setting lock / release system 100 according to the present invention. The status will be displayed.

The sound device 230 outputs voice guidance information, operation sounds, and warning sounds under the control of the main controller 200. Therefore, in order to perform the anti-theft function according to the user's setting, it may be configured to output a warning sound if the release signal does not match, or if the release conditions do not match.

The storage device 240 stores various application programs used in the release condition setting lock / release system 100 according to the present invention and various data according to the unlock state. By storing the time and information according to the release of the lock state in the form of a log, the user can always check the log to determine when and how the lock / unlock device 260 is released.

Although the above-described release condition setting lock / release device according to the present invention has been described with reference to an embodiment applied to the safe, the release condition setting lock / release system according to the present invention locks various items including a gift box in addition to the safe.

3 is an operation flowchart of a release condition setting lock / release system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

With reference to the accompanying Figure 3 will be described in detail the operation of the release condition setting lock / release system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, when a user uses the release condition setting lock / release system for the first time, or wants to change the release setting including a release signal and a release condition, the user releases the release signal and release by operating the input device 102. When the condition is input, the main controller 200 receives the release setting (that is, the release signal and the release condition) output from the input device 102 and stores it in the memory unit 220 (S300 and S302). The setting release signal input in this process may be stored by being encrypted by a predetermined algorithm. When the setting release signal is an image signal, the image may be extracted by using a predetermined algorithm to store the feature value. In addition, in the case of using a user identification card by short-range wireless communication, the unique value of the user identification card is stored as a release signal.

Next, in order to release the lock state of the lock / release device 260, when the user inputs a release signal through the input device 102, the main controller 200 receives the input release signal (S304). In operation S306, it is determined whether the input release signal is identical to the release signal stored in the memory unit 220. In this process, when the setting release signal is processed and stored by a predetermined algorithm, the input release signal is also processed by the same algorithm and then it is determined whether or not the same. If the input release signal and the stored setting release signal are the same, the process proceeds to the next step. Otherwise, the lock state release process is terminated.

When the release signal identity is authenticated in step S306, the main controller performs a lock state release step according to the next release condition, with reference to the release condition stored in the memory unit 220.

After determining whether the release signal input frequency condition is set (S308), the main control apparatus 200 performs a lock state release step according to the input frequency condition.

First, it is determined whether the number of times the release signal is input satisfies the setting release condition (S310).

If it does not reach the set number of times, after receiving the release signal through the input device 102 (S312), it is determined whether the release signal is the same again (S314), and if the release signal is the same, the release signal input frequency is increased. After (S316) it is determined whether the number of times of the release signal input satisfies the stored setting release condition (S310). If it is determined that the release signal input frequency condition is not satisfied, steps S312 to S310 are repeatedly performed. If it is determined that the release signal input count condition is satisfied, the next lock state release step is performed (S310).

Next, after determining whether the time condition is set as the setting release condition, the main control unit 200 releases the lock state of the lock / release device 260 if it is not set (S328), and if it is set, the lock state according to the time condition. A release step is performed (S318).

When the time condition is set, it is first determined whether the release time is set (S320), and when the release time is set, it is determined whether the release signal input through the input device 102 is input at the set release time. If it is determined that the release signal is input at the set release time, the next step is performed. If the release signal is input at a time different from the set release time, the lock state release process is terminated (S322).

If the release time condition is not set or if the release time condition is satisfied, it is determined whether the time-lapse condition is set (S324). As a result of the determination, when the time elapsed condition is set, the lock / release device 260 is released after the set time has elapsed (S326) (S328). If the time-out condition is not set, the lock / release device 260 is released from the locked state at that time and the process ends (S328).

In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method for providing a release condition setting type lock / release system is a lock state release process according to the release condition described above, that is, a release signal input frequency condition setting, a release time condition setting, and a time-lapse condition setting. It may include at least one or more of the lock state release process according to.

In addition, the method for providing a release condition setting type lock / release system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is a lock state release process according to the above release condition, that is, release signal input frequency condition setting, release time condition setting and time elapsed. It is not restricted to the order of the lock state release process according to the condition setting, but can be configured to be performed by combining the lock state release process according to each condition setting in any order. That is, the lock state release process according to the release time condition setting and the time-lapse condition setting may be performed first, and then the release process may be performed according to the release signal input frequency condition setting.

Through the above-described process, there is provided a release condition setting lock / release system 100 according to the present invention.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention described above are disclosed for purposes of illustration, and those skilled in the art will be able to make various modifications, changes and additions within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
