RU2168211C2 - Automatic control system of codelocks of luggage room compartments - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: electronic engineering, in particular, automatic control of groups of objects. SUBSTANCE: renting a luggage room compartments, the client receives a numerical personified plastic card with the data on the paid time of storage and the number of the compartment put down on it, after the luggage is put in the compartment, and the compartment is closed, the storage time counting is started. To open the compartment, the client inserts the card in the code readout unit. The decoded information from the card is supplied to the compartment controller, where it is compared both according to the time settings, and according to the personified card data; as a result of comparison, the lock drive control unit forms the operate control commands for the compartment lock drive (lock). EFFECT: enhanced reliability of safety of luggage placed in the luggage room compartment. 1 dwg

Description

 The system relates to electronic equipment, in particular to the field of automatic control of groups of objects.

 An electronic device is known for controlling a set of locks, for example, cells of a left-luggage office, comprising a personal operator’s computer, a code reader, and also cell locks connected to the operator’s computer (PCT patent (WO) N WO-94/27260 of 05/06/94, CL G 07 F 17/12).

 However, this device does not guarantee unauthorized access to the cells, as the user-defined alphanumeric code combination can provide access to the cell to unauthorized persons, as long as they accidentally or intentionally recognize this combination.

 The purpose of the invention is to increase the reliability of safety placed in the cell luggage storage.

 This goal is achieved by the fact that in the automated control system of the code locks of the cells of the left-luggage office, which contains the operator’s personal computer, the code reading unit, as well as the cell’s lock drives connected to the operator’s computer, the operator’s personal computer is equipped with a peripheral client card programmer, with which it can be inserted into a plastic number plate personalized data on the paid storage time and cell number of the left-luggage office is entered on the customer’s card, the code reading unit includes a client card washer that decodes encrypted information from the client card and transfers it to the input of the cell controller, which includes a comparison unit, a non-volatile memory buffer, a system timer, a storage time counter and a lock drive control unit, one of the input circuits of which is connected directly to the output a personal computer of the operator for receiving an emergency lock command of the lock drive, and one of the output circuits provides continuous transmission of information about the current state of control lera cell at the input of the specified personal computer, and the comparison unit includes a module for comparing time settings, comparing the current system time from the output of the system timer with time settings read from the client card, and generating commands for admitting or stopping the storage time counter, and an identification module comparing the data on the numbers of the client’s card and the cells of the left-luggage office coming from the output of the client’s card reader with the identification parameters of a particular cell, stored in its non-volatile memory buffer, and generating commands for changing the state of the cell to the input of the lock drive control unit, which, on the basis of data received from the outputs of the comparison unit and the storage time counter, generates executable lock drive control commands.

 The drawing shows a structural block diagram of the claimed automated system.

 The automated control system for the locks of the cells of the left-luggage office contains a personal computer 1 of the operator, which is connected to the peripheral programmer 4 of the client cards, a code reading unit 2, and also lock drives of 3 cells.

 The personal computer 1 provides keyboard input of D1 data about the client and the cell of the storage chamber rented by him and is connected to the peripheral programmer 4 of the client’s cards using an interface cable through which encrypted data D2 is transferred, which are recorded on the client’s number plastic card.

 The code reading unit 2 includes a client card reader 5, which decodes the encrypted data D3 from the client card, and a cell controller 6, the input of which receives decoded information D4 from the output of the specified reader 5, and the output circuit is connected to the control input of the lock drive 3, providing the transfer of control commands K4 last.

 The controller 6 includes a comparison unit 7, a non-volatile memory buffer 8, a system timer 9, a storage time counter 10 and a control unit 11 of the lock drive 3. The comparison unit 7 contains a module for comparing time settings 7.1, which compares the current system time P1 from the system output timer 9 with time settings D4 read from the client’s card and generates K1 commands to start or stop the counter 10 of the storage time, as well as an identification module 7.2 comparing D4 data on the client’s card numbers and camera cells Storage output from the reader 5 customer card and authorization identification parameters D6 specific cell stored in its non-volatile memory buffer 8, forming a team of K2 enable / disable access to the cell.

 The counter 10 storage time is connected to the control unit 11 and generates at the input of the last command K3 permission / prohibition of access to the cell according to the time settings.

 The control unit 11 is connected to the outputs of the storage time counter 10 and the identification module 7.2 of the comparison unit 7 and generates control commands K4 by the lock drive 3 based on the received commands K2 and K3.

 In addition, the operator’s personal computer 1 is connected by information lines to the code reader 2 and the lock drive 3, which provides continuous monitoring of the status of these devices S1 and S2.

 In case of emergency operator intervention, the personal computer 1 is connected to the control unit 11 of the control line, through which the K5 emergency lock or unlock command 3 can be transmitted.
