However, since the technology level of the locks has been increased to a certain level, a card key (access card, recognition card, or user card) A door lock or a locker installed in an open space can be opened and closed by a proximity wireless communication technology.

Such a locking device may include a recognition card serving as a key and a lock attached to the door / locker, and the door / locker may be opened / closed by a wireless recognition method of the recognition card and the lock. For example, at a resort or a hotel, a user goes to the front desk to check the reservation details, receives a recognition card (RF card, smart card), and releases the lock by contacting the recognition card with the lock of the designated room A system to enter is common.

In the system using the recognition card, the user has to carry a recognition card storing the security code or the like at all times in order to open the specified door / locker. There are many cases where the user loses the recognition card due to such inconvenience It is reality that it is doing.

In recent years, due to the rapid development of communication technology and electronic products and the ease of information acquisition, users tend to carry portable communication equipment (smart phone, tablet PC, etc.) at all times. Especially, have. In addition, users tend to perceive the portability of such communication equipment as part of their life rather than as an obligation, and this awareness can be easily confirmed in surveys on various research results and perceptions.

Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a fast and easy locking system that can reduce the inconvenience of having a separate identification card while maintaining security based on the user's perception.

In the present invention, the door can be realized by a door of a private room such as a hotel / resort where the lock is released or maintained by opening or closing of the lock device 200, or a door of a locker installed in a public place.

The lock device 200 includes a lock communication unit 210, a password authentication unit 220, a mobile key authentication unit 230, a lock open / close control unit 240, a lock time update unit 250, and a lock database 260 .

The lock communication unit 210 receives data such as a smart phone unique number, a smart time, a password, and a mobile key in a proximity wireless communication (NFC) with the smartphone 100, and transmits management information including a lock ID and a lock usage history .

Here, the usage history of the lock device 200 includes audit trail information. The audit trail information is a method of recording and tracking the process of outputting the data inputted for the audit in order to trace an input / output error occurring during one process or hardware failure or power outage. .

The present invention can be applied to a lock communication unit 210 using a proximity wireless communication technology such as 3G network such as CDMA, WiFi, Zigbee, Bluetooth and the like, It can be configured to reduce power consumption by using Bluetooth low energy (BLE) technology. That is, data transmission / reception between the smartphone 100 and the lock device 200 can be performed through the lock communication unit 210.

The password authentication unit 220 receives the smartphone unique number and the password from the smartphone 100 and compares the data with the data stored in the lock database 260 in advance to confirm the identity. In addition, the password authenticator 220 may receive the smartphone's unique number and password from the smartphone 100, and then transmit its own lock ID.

The mobile key authenticating unit 230 may compare the mobile key generated by the lock device 200 and the mobile key transmitted from the smartphone 100 to perform mobile key authentication to confirm whether or not the mobile key is matched.

The password verification algorithm and the mobile key verification algorithm of the lock device 200 correspond to the password generation algorithm and the mobile key generation algorithm of the management server 300, It is desirable to check the validity of the password and the mobile key.

On the other hand, if the 'password' and the 'mobile key' transmitted in cooperation with the password authenticating unit 220 are identical to each other, the mobile key authenticating unit 230 does not match 'coincidence' The judgment result can be derived. Accordingly, when the mobile key is authenticated by the match of the mobile key, the 'lock' result can be transmitted to the lock open / close control unit 240. Also, if the mobile key is not authenticated due to a mismatch of the mobile key, an indication corresponding to the mobile key 'mismatch' is displayed. The indefinite display can be realized by various display devices such as visual display (character display such as 'key mismatch') and audible display (beep sound like beep sound).

The lock open / close control unit 240 may open or close the door according to the authentication result of the password authentication unit 220 and the mobile key authentication unit 230. When the 'lock' result is received from the password authentication unit 220 and the mobile key authentication unit 230, the lock open / close control unit 240 unlocks the lock to lock the door where the lock device 200 is installed Can be opened. Also, the lock open / close control unit 240 can open or close the door by determining whether the approval period included in the use approval details is within the valid period.

The lock time update unit 250 may receive the smart time from the smartphone 100 and update the lock time by matching the lock time with the smart time. The preferred embodiment of the present invention may update the lock time whenever the smartphone 100 contacts the lock device 200. [

On the other hand, when the lock device 200 is implemented with a low power drive or when the lock device 200 is aged, the lock time may be slowed. Therefore, the smart time of the smartphone 100 may not coincide with the lock time of the lock device 200 have. The present invention can improve the accuracy of the system operation by including the lock time update unit 250 to solve the time inconsistency problem and accurately determine the valid period. Therefore, it is a technical feature of the present invention that the inconvenience of the use due to the erroneous determination of the validity period can be prevented in advance due to the smart time of the smartphone 100 and the lock time inconsistency of the lock device 200.

 The lock database 260 is a storage device for storing information necessary for operating the lock device 200. The lock database 260 stores a lock ID that is stored in order to distinguish the lock device 200 from other lock devices, The smartphone unique number and usage approval history received, and data such as a password and a mobile key.
