Digital Door Lock Having Removable Communication Pack {Digital Door Lock Having Remote Control Pack of Detachable Type}

The present invention relates to a digital door lock having a removable communication pack. More particularly, the present invention relates to mounting a communication pack in a digital door lock, and more particularly, to a digital door lock having a removable communication pack capable of remote control in connection with various types of communication and / or home network devices.

Mechanical door locks for opening and closing doors using metal keys have been mainly used as door opening and closing devices for offices, hotel rooms, apartments, and the like. However, the conventional mechanical door lock has a weak security because the metal key, which is a door opening and closing means, is vulnerable to loss and duplication. In recent years, in consideration of the weakness of the conventional mechanical door lock, the door lock to open and close the door using an electronic key including a magnet card method or a smart card method, a door lock that can be opened and closed by entering a password. Various digital door locks have been developed. Recently, a digital door lock capable of opening and closing a door through biometrics using uniqueness of a specific part of the human body such as voice recognition, fingerprint recognition, face recognition, iris recognition, etc. has been actively studied and put into practical use.

However, the conventional digital door lock unlocks and modulates Mortis by authentication means such as passwords, fingerprints, semiconductor keys, RF card keys, etc. by hardware and software configured at an early stage of production, and generates a beep when abnormal operation occurs.
