In an embodiment, the electronic lock system as described above, wherein the incoming message includes at least one push target, and the message management host 1 sends a notification message to the corresponding mobile device 3 of the at least one push target according to the push target. The push object can be set by the management application, for example, according to the unlock time. Or, the push target is determined based on the mobile device 3 that is proximity-activated and unlocked.

Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a schematic diagram of the use of an embodiment of the electronic lock system of the present invention. Taking a family as an example, the electronic lock system of the present invention is used to complete the family mobile device and electronic lock registration procedures, so that each family member can use the mobile device 3 to release the electronic lock 4. The father's mobile device 3 is a parent device, and the other family's mobile device 3 is a child device. The parent device performs a management application to read the family device of the family member and generate group data to complete a group setting.

When the family opens the door with the mobile device 3 proximity sensor electronic lock, the automatic startup management application transmits the incoming message to the message pushing host 1 via the Internet 2, and transmits the message through the message management host 1 according to the application management program setting condition. The notification message is sent to other mobile devices 3 that are not in proximity to the inductive electronic lock. The notification message may include the door number, name, and unlocking time of the mobile device 3 that is in proximity to the inductive electronic lock.

With the above-mentioned family as a group, the management application sets the push target in the incoming message according to the unlocked object, so that the message management host 1 sends a notification message according to the push target to the mobile device 3 corresponding to the push target. For example, the management application sets the push target to the parent to enter the message, so when the child comes home from school, when the proximity sensor unlocks the door lock, the automatic launch management application will enter the message via the Internet 2 The message is transmitted to the message broadcast host 1, and the message management host 1 transmits a notification message to the parent's mobile device 3 according to the push target in the incoming message. At this time, the parent receives the notification message to know at which time the child has arrived home safely. .

Similarly, the management application sets the push target in the incoming message according to the unlock target, and causes the message management host 1 to send a notification message to the mobile device 3 corresponding to the push target according to the push target. For example, the management application sets the push target to the husband to enter the message in order to unlock the object. Therefore, when the security personnel release the door lock due to the duty to the on-site inspection, the automatic start management is performed when the proximity sensor unlocks the door lock. The application transmits the incoming message to the message promoting host 1 via the Internet 2, and the message management host 1 transmits a notification message to the mobile device 3 of the husband according to the push target in the incoming message, and the husband receives the notification message at this time. Immediately know the news that the home security is abnormal.

Or, the management application sets the push target to enter the message by unblocking the time. For example, the management application sets the unlocker after 12:00 am, and the push target is the wife, so the husband is working overtime or socializing. Unlocked after 12:00 in the morning, when the proximity sensor unlocks the door lock, the automatic startup management application sends the incoming message to the message push host 1 via the Internet 2, and the message management host 1 transmits according to the push object in the incoming message. The notification message is sent to the wife's mobile device 3. At this time, the wife receives the notification message to know the time when the husband actually went home.

It can be known from the above embodiments that although the plurality of mobile devices 3 can be set to each other as a group or a dedicated group, the push target of the notification message is not necessarily all persons in the group. In other words, the management application sets an object to be pushed from a specific person in the group according to conditions such as releasing the door lock object and releasing the door lock time.

The electronic lock system of the present invention uses the plurality of mobile devices 3 as an unlocking medium and is also a medium for message transmission. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the cover electronic lock 4 can also serve as a medium for message transmission, such as the above-mentioned incoming message. It can also be transmitted to the message management host 1 through the electronic lock 4, followed by the work of pushing the message. Therefore, any technical concept of unlocking, messaging, and message push as described is also the scope of the present invention. .

In combination with the above embodiments, the electronic lock system of the present invention can completely record the unlocking time, unlock the personnel, and the like. Moreover, the necessary personnel can be actively notified while unlocking, and the push of the necessary personnel can be set by the management application according to conditions such as unlocking time, unlocking objects, and the like.
