Definitions
- the present invention relates to a telematic duplication system for encoded keys.
- Keys for operating a lock, whether installed in a normal door, an armoured door, a motor vehicle etc., are known to be generally distinguished by a code (indirect code) which enables the type of key, its mechanical notching pattern, the code of its electronic chip if present, etc. to be unequivocally identified. From this indirect code, all the key characteristics required for its duplication can be obtained from a data file generally held by the manufacturer or initial lock installer.
- Key duplication is in this case an operation carried out in a place far from the local centre to which the customer has applied, the time involved, because of the need to despatch the key when cut, being lengthy and often incompatible with user requirements. This is certainly so in the case of a car driver who mislays the car key during a journey.
- An object of the invention is to overcome these drawbacks by making it possible to duplicate a key at any authorized duplication centre, hence not only obtaining all the advantages of local duplication but at the same time eliminating the aforestated drawbacks.
- Figure 1 is a schematic view of a telematic duplication system according to the invention
- Figure 2 is a schematic view of a remote duplication centre.
- the telematic duplication system for encoded keys according to the invention comprises substantially a plurality of remote key duplication centres 2 provided with a terminal 4 connected via a telematic network to a control unit 6 connected to data files 8 stored with lock manufacturing/installation firms, or firms authorized thereby.
- keyboards means mechanical keys, electronic keys, i.e. cards with electronic codes of smart card type, or mixed keys, i.e. provided with a chip.
- Each centre 2 comprises a plurality of power machines, such as profiling machines 12 for the key blank, milling machines 14 cutting the notching pattern on the semi-finished key, machines 16 for marking the key surface and machines 18 for encoding a possible chip present in the key, all these machines being controlled electronically by data received by the terminal 4 from the centre 2 and fed by the control unit 6.
- the control unit 6 comprises a data file 20 in which the indirect key codes and other information, specified hereinafter, are correlated with the lock manufacturers/installers, and a data file 22 in which the direct key codes are correlated with the movements of the power machines 12, 14, 16, 18 of the remote centres 2.
- the control unit 6 also comprises data encryption means 24 and data cancellation means 26.
- the operation of the telematic system of the invention for example for duplicating a motor vehicle key of which the indirect code is known, is as follows: A user who has mislaid a key and requires a duplicate calls into one of the authorized centres 2 and hands the operator the card (obtained on acquiring the vehicle) carrying the impression of the indirect codes of the key to be duplicated.
- These indirect codes enable the type of key, its mechanical notching pattern and the code of its electronic chip, if present, to be unequivocally identified.
- the operator at the terminal 4 feeds its identifying codes to establish the connection with the control unit 6, and once identified by this latter feeds to it the indirect codes and possibly data relative to the key make and model , specifying at the same time the number of copies required.
- the operator invites the customer to key into the terminal the identifying data for the lock cylinder to which the key pertains, which data can be the production date, the batch, the registration number, the progressive number and any other information identifying the cylinder.
- These data will have been handed to the user at the moment of purchase in a confidential manner, for example in a sealed envelope.
- the sealed envelope may contain a card, the faces of which carry the indirect codes and the cylinder identification data respectively, the user showing the operator, while holding the card in the hand, only that face carrying the indirect codes.
- control unit 6 identifies the product and the lock manufacturer 10 (or initial or authorized installer) and feeds thereto the indirect code, the digital data of the applicant relative to the cylinder, and an unequivocal identification code for the transaction underway.
- the data transmitted by the unit 6 and received by the firm 10 are compared with the data file 8 which, once verified, provides in response the direct codes associated with the indirect codes received.
- said direct codes comprise those necessary for milling the profile of the blank, those for cutting the notching pattern, those for marking and those for encoding the chip, if present.
- the direct codes are then fed, making reference to the transaction identification code, to the control unit 6 which on receipt transmits them, together with all information required by the power machines for materially carrying out the machining, in encrypted form to the terminal 4 of the centre 2 from which the key duplication request originated.
- all these data are transferred to the various power machines 12, 14, 16, 18 to enable them to effect the required operations in succession on the blank key, and in particular: - regulating and operating the profiling machine to form the grooves on the blank and obtain the semi-finished key,
- the terminal 4 On termination of the duplication operations the terminal 4 transmits confirmation to the control unit 6 that the operations have taken place, said unit 6 then cancelling all data of the effected transaction to prevent unauthorized repetition, and confirming to the firm 10 that these operations have taken place. If the operation was not a success, the unit 6 informs the firm 10 of the situation and cancels all data.
- the data files 8 are directly associated with the control unit 6.
- the terminals are provided with means 28 for concealing the data received from the control unit 6.
