Smart door lock device linked to contact app based on fintech authentication {SMART DOOR LOCK DEVICE LINKED WITH CONTACT APP BASED ON FINTECH AUTHENTICATION}

The present invention relates to door lock technology, and more specifically, to a smart door lock device linked to a contact app based on Fintech authentication that allows access authentication according to the visitor's contact information registration based on Fintech authentication. It's about.

In general, the locking status of access devices located in homes or offices is controlled using various methods such as the user's fingerprint, password, or key.

Meanwhile, the method of controlling the lock of the access device using a physical key has the inconvenience of requiring the user to carry the key.

The method of controlling the lock of the access device using a password can relieve the inconvenience of having to possess a physical key, but if the password is leaked, it may expose the user to a crime.

Recently, with the rapid development of IT technology, smart door lock technology is being developed that authenticates access without entering a password through a smartphone app and NFC mobile key. However, this method of access authentication using a smartphone has the limitation that only smartphones registered to the door lock can be used, and when a registered smartphone is lost, it is automatically authenticated and unlocked even if the lost smartphone is in the hands of someone else. Since it can be open, there is a problem with the reliability of the certification process.
