The sensing member may include a door contact, that is, a sensor capable of sensing a user's knocking or contact. The user will provide a touch event to the door in accordance with a predetermined contact manner, and the control member can compare the pattern or arrangement of the contact stimulus transmitted through the door with a previously stored reference contact manner. If the reference contact method and the user contact method transmitted from the user are the same within the error range, the control member may release the door through the locking member. Here, the same within the error range means that the reference contact method and the user contact method can be determined to correspond to each other within a sensitivity, intensity, or time range determined by the designer or the manager.

The reference contact method and the user contact method may be defined by one or two or more contact stimuli, and these contact methods may include the number of contact stimuli, the time interval between contact stimuli, the location of the contact stimulus, the intensity of the contact stimulus, or a combination thereof. Can be defined by For example, if the arrangement of the contact poles is (5, 2, 1, 3), the user can provide a knock signal by knocking on the doors 5, 2, 1 and 3 sequentially. have. In addition, designers and managers can change the way the contact stimulus is arranged by varying the strength of the knock signal, and in addition, it can change the way of the contact stimulus by ordering the positions where the contact stimulus is provided in the door. . Of course, the above-described number of times, time intervals, strength and weakness, etc. may be combined to define more various arrangements of contact stimuli.

And releasing the door from the locking member when the reference contact method and the user contact method are substantially the same.

The sensing member may select at least one selected from the group consisting of a vibration sensor, a microphone sensor, a pressure sensor, and a capacitive sensor, and preferably, these sensors may not be exposed from the outside of the door to improve security. Also, the preset reference contact method may mean a combination of contact stimuli, and the reference contact method and the user contact method for authentication may include the number of contact stimuli, the time interval between contact stimuli, the location of the contact stimulus, the strength of the contact stimulus, or the like. The combination can be compared to determine whether they are substantially the same. As described above, the term "substantially the same" may mean the same within the error range, and it may be determined that the reference contact method and the user contact method correspond to each other within a sensitivity, intensity, or temporal range determined by the designer or manager. This may mean a degree of identity, and the degree of identity may be appropriately changed according to a range determined by an administrator.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited or limited by the embodiments.

2 is a perspective view of a safe for explaining a door locking device and a control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is a configuration diagram for explaining the operating mechanism between the door locking device of FIG. For reference, FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate a door lock using a safe, but in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, the door lock can be used in devices and structures having doors that require authentication and enforcement.

2 and 3, the door locking device 100 according to the present embodiment includes a sensing member 110 mounted on the door 20, a locking member 130 for locking or releasing the door 20, and The control member 120 receives a signal related to authentication from the sensing member 110 and controls the operation of the locking member 130.

The sensing member 110 may include a vibration sensor or a microphone sensor. The sensing member 110 may be attached to the inside of the door 20, that is, the inner surface of the door, and may be partially accommodated in the door. In some cases, the installation space may be formed from the outer surface to be mounted on the outer surface, but preferably, the sensing member cannot be discerned from the outside. However, in the present embodiment, the sensing member 110 is attached to the inner surface of the door 20.

Since the sensing member 110 includes a vibration sensor or a microphone sensor, the user may sense the knocking of the door from the outside. When the user taps the front of the door 20, the beat may be transmitted to the sensing member 110 in the form of vibration or sound. As will be described later, the beat of the user may be transmitted in a certain sound pattern.

In addition, the sensing member may use various sensing methods. For example, the user's authentication may be detected through a change in pressure instead of vibration, and a user's body contact may be detected using a capacitive sensor even if the vibration or pressure does not change.

Although the locking member 130 is mounted on the door 20 in the drawing, in some cases, the locking member 130 may be mounted on the object or the external structure. The locking member 130 includes a locking assembly and a locking protrusion protruding from the locking assembly, and may operate under the control of the control member 120. The control member 120 and the locking member 130 are generally electrically connected to each other, but in some cases, the control member 120 and the locking member 130 may be connected by a physical connection structure using a link. These physical structures can convey whether they work or not.

The control member 120 may receive a signal regarding the contact stimulus of the user from the sensing member 110, and may confirm the authentication of the user through the pattern of the transmitted contact stimulus. Specifically, in this embodiment, the user can check the user by knocking the door by a predetermined number. The user can replace the number input by knocking the door according to a predetermined number arrangement and separating each number interval.

4 is a view for explaining a process of releasing the door lock by using the door lock of FIG.

Referring to FIG. 4, assuming that the reference contact method stored in the control member 120 is a number of (5, 2, 1, 3), the user moves the door 20 five, two, one and three. You can beat the beats one after the other. However, in this case, the beat corresponding to each number may be defined as a relatively short interval t _n , and the interval between the numbers and the numbers may be defined as a relatively long interval T _n . The administrator may increase or decrease the reference interval for distinguishing the numbers from the numbers according to the user's physical rhythm and habits, and the control member 120 may include a setting unit 122 for adjusting them.

The user can knock the doors sequentially according to the number array memorized, and distinguish between the numbers corresponding to each number by dividing the numbers at intervals longer than a certain length.

In addition, the administrator can vary the knocking of the door according to various criteria. For example, the contact method may be defined by the strength difference between the beats, and the contact method may be defined by a tapping pattern other than a number, such as a Morse signal. Of course, as described above, the contact method may be defined by combining the number of contact stimuli, the time interval between the contact stimuli, the intensity of the contact stimulus, and the like.

The control member 120 may compare the stored reference contact method and the user contact method input from the user. If the comparison is within a predetermined range, the control member 120 may determine the same and operate the locking member 130.

In this embodiment, the sensing member is attached to the inner side of the door 20.

Since the sensing member does not include a vibration sensor or a microphone sensor, the user may sense the knocking of the door from the outside. When the user knocks on the front of the door 20, as described in the previous embodiment, the beat may be transmitted to the sensing member in the form of vibration or sound.

Although the locking member 230 is mounted to the door 20 in the drawing, in some cases, the locking member may be mounted to the external structure.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the user may tap twice from the top, three times from the bottom, and two times from the top again according to the reference contact method. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a change according to the position of the contact stimulus, and the position may be applied as a variable along with the number and order of door knocks. In some cases, the user authentication may be enabled by the order of the positions regardless of the number of times.

Referring to FIG. 7, the user may tap two times, three times below, and two times above from the top of the door 20. Vibration may be transmitted through both the first sensor 210 and the second sensor 215, but the control member 220 selects a relatively large signal in a circuit so as to select the first sensor 210 or the first sensor. 2 It may be determined whether the detection from the sensor 215.

The administrator may increase or decrease the reference interval for distinguishing the numbers from the numbers according to the user's body rhythm and habits, and the control member 220 may include a setting unit for adjusting them.

The user can knock the doors sequentially according to the number array memorized, and distinguish between the numbers corresponding to each number by dividing the numbers at intervals longer than a certain length. In addition, the administrator can vary the knocking of the door according to various criteria. For example, the contact method may be defined by the strength difference between the beats, and the contact method may be defined by a tapping pattern other than a number, such as a Morse signal. Of course, as described above, the contact method may be defined by combining the number of contact stimuli, the time interval between the contact stimuli, the intensity of the contact stimulus, and the like.

The control member 220 may compare the stored reference contact method with the user contact method input from the user. If the comparison is within a predetermined range, the control member 220 may determine the same and operate the locking member 230.

The door lock device of the present invention can securely protect the authentication device by preventing the device related to the door lock from being exposed to the outside, and can block attempts to sneak in secret without knowing the access method and order except the authorized user.

In addition, the door may be provided with a blocking unit to prevent the user's information from being exposed to a third party, and the control unit may further include a setting unit to optimize the setting according to the user's physical rhythm and habit.

In addition, the present invention can also be used in conjunction with a conventional unlocking method such as key input, dial input, or key use, thereby enabling the door to be cracked in various ways.
