Abstract

An encoding method for providing access, particularly for locks, comprising assigning in advance at least one activation code to a receiver unit being in connection with a transmitter unit, and associating the receiver unit comprising said activation code with the transmitter unit wherein during the association relative spatial positions of the receiver and the transmitter to each other are utilized as an additional activation code. A decoding method for providing access, particularly for locks, comprising operating a transmitter unit being in operational connection with a receiver unit, determining whether the activation code issued by the transmitter unit is the same as the activation code assigned previously to the receiver unit, and if the transmitter unit activation code is the same as the activation code previously assigned to the receiver unit, outputting by the receiver unit an access enabling signal. During operation, the validity of an additional activation code stored in the receiver unit, defined by the relative spatial position of the transmitter unit and the receiver unit to each other, is determined; and if the additional activation code is valid, the use of the first activation code assigned to the receiver unit is allowed to output the access enabling signal.

Description

Method for encoding and decoding to provide access, in particular for locks
The invention relates on the one hand to a method for encoding to provide access, in particular for locks, whereas at least one activation code is assigned in advance to a receiver unit in operational connection with a transmitter unit, and the receiver unit comprising an activation code and the transmitter unit are associated with each other. The invention relates on the other hand to a method for decoding to provide access, in particular for locks, whereas a transmitter unit in operational connection with a receiver unit is operated, it is examined during operation whether the activation code issued by the transmitter unit is identical with the activation code assigned to the receiver unit in advance, and if the activation code emitted by the transmitter unit is identical with the activation code assigned to the receiver unit in advance, an access enabling signal is emitted by the receiver unit.
Access-related security measures under implementation or implemented in the most diverse areas have acquired priority importance in practice. One field known to all is that of locks where, concurrently with the development of IT, advanced security systems have also become wide- spread in addition to traditional, mechanical or electronic locks and encoded locks; in their case, efforts have been made to include in the range of security elements over and beyond the previous standard security elements - key, numerical code, proximity sensor - also new ones that are presumably widely applicable and suitable for being used simply, by anyone. Biometric identification solutions and proposals are known to all, but cases pointing to the fact that unauthorised ac- cess, e.g. the unauthorised opening of a lock, may occur even with such advanced security systems are equally well-known.
DE 10 2015 118 627 Al discloses a method for operating encoded locks as well as an encoded lock. In the process, a first authorising code consisting of a given number of signals and comprising some kind of encoded authorisation data must be inputted through a code input device; the code input device examines it, and if the verification is successful, it authorises the execution of an opening operation, provided that a second examined condition is also fulfilled. The encoded authorisation datum is contained in a transmitter unit that may be essentially any transponder, e.g. in the field of accommodation a room card, whereas the code inputting device functions as receiver unit with an activation code identical to the previously mentioned authorising code as- signed to it in advance. In use, the receiver unit containing the activation code and the transmitter unit containing the authorisation code are associated with each other - e.g. the card brought in touch with the lock -, and in case of identical codes, the receiver unit releases a shutter lock, provided that the second examined time condition encoded in the authorisation code and decoded by the receiver unit is also met. This solution has the deficiency that unauthorised access cannot be prevented if the time condition is fulfilled anyway, e.g. the hotel room card is obtained during the time of the envisaged stay; that is, despite the fact that the two conditions must be met simultaneously, if one code is known, the other is easy to provide, and access i.e. opening the lock, becomes feasible also to unauthorised persons. The demand for a simple and reliable system that effectively reduces the possibilities and number of unauthorised access has prevailed and intensified. Therefore, the objective of the present invention is to create a method applicable to providing/controlling access through encoding and decoding. Furthermore, it is our objective to have a method consisting of a few steps, clearly and effectively executable by anyone, that is, adults, elderly people and children, that does not require new or unusual auxiliary means as far as possible.
The invention is based on the recognition that the known encoding and decoding methods have the common and general flaw that once the code is known, there is no obstacle that would prevent access, so the various widely applied codes all require extreme attention and caution. The experience is that solutions designed to eliminate or reduce the dangers related to codes by code multiplication are ineffective, because once the first code is known, the second is easy to obtain, so we cannot speak of multiplied security.
We have realised that, in order to protect the actual and real code one must not simply apply another code, but the real code must be supplemented by a code arrangement that can be produced by highly similar, yet different persons in different ways, and one that is known exclusively to these persons; consequently, the real code cannot be obtained even in case of unauthorised access by third persons, since there is no way to access the latter.
The objective being set has been solved on the one hand by a method for encoding to provide access, in particular for locks, whereas at least one activation code is assigned in advance to a receiver unit in operational connection with a transmitter unit, and the receiver unit comprising an activation code and the transmitter unit are associated with each other and, in a novel way, the spatial position of the transmitter unit and the receiver unit relative to each other during the association of the transmitter unit and the receiver unit is used as a further activation code.
In a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, an optical signal sequence emitted by the transmitter unit is used as activation code that is also retrievably stored in the code repository arranged in the receiver unit.
In another preferred embodiment, a radio frequency signal sequence emitted by the transmitter unit during operation is used as activation code that is also retrievably stored in the code repository arranged in the receiver unit.
In yet another preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, an electromechanical signal sequence emitted by the transmitter unit during operation is used as activation code, the electronic equivalent of which is also retrievably stored in the code repository arranged in the receiver unit.
It is also advantageous if a signal sequence combination selected from the group of optical, radio frequency, electromechanical, numerical, alphanumerical, colour, acoustic, optical, biometric, movement path codes emitted by the transmitter unit during operation is used, with its electronic equivalent also retrievably stored in the code repository arranged in the receiver unit.
In a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, a data storage matrix is used as code repository.
In a further preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, relative spatial positions of the transmitter unit and the receiver unit are stored as further activation codes associ- ated with specific users.
It is also advantageous if in a preferred version of the proposed method an activation code selected from the group including numerical, alphanumerical, colour, acoustic, biometric, itinerary codes is used as activation code.
The objective being set has been solved, on the other hand, by a method for decoding to provide access, in particular for locks, whereas a transmitter unit in operational connection with receiver unit is operated, and during operation it is examined via the receiver unit whether the activation code emitted by the transmitter unit is identical to the activation code assigned to the receiver unit in advance, and if the activation code emitted by the transmitter unit is identical to the activation code assigned to the receiver unit in advance, an access enabling signal is emitted by the receiver unit. In a novel way, the validity of the further activation code stored in the receiver unit, determined by the relative spatial position of the transmitter unit and the receiver unit, is examined during operation, and if the further activation code is valid, the use of the first activation code assigned to the receiver unit is authorised to emit an access enabling signal by the receiver unit. In a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, auxiliary signals are used to set the spatial position of the transmitter unit and the receiver unit relative to each other that determines the further activation code stored in the receiver unit.
According to a further preferred embodiment, colour coding is used as an auxiliary signal.
According to a further preferred embodiment, a mobile communication device is used as trans- mitter unit.
As can be seen, as compared to the solutions associated with state-of-the-art technology, a new level of access security has been created by the above measures, since it is no longer sufficient to obtain and possess an authorisation code of some kind - including alphanumerical codes, but also traditional key codes and transponders - to operate a lock, but a further piece of knowledge that may be considered a code must also be possessed for the other authorisation code to exert its effect. Moreover, the proposed method makes all this feasible in an easy and economical way.
Features and advantages of the disclosure will be apparent from the detailed description which follows, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which together illustrate, by way of example, features of the disclosure; and, wherein:
Figure 1 shows the flowchart of a possible embodiment of the encoding process according to the invention, and
Figure 2 shows the flowchart of a possible embodiment of the decoding process according to the invention.
As can be seen in Figure 1, the embodiment of the encoding method according to the invention presented only as preferred example starts in step 1, and in step 2 it is examined whether a receiver unit, the type of which is irrelevant for the method, of known structure and operation for those skilled in the art, is operational. If not, the receiver unit is put into operation in step 3, i.e. most often switched on. After repeating step 2, we can now proceed to step 4, where the relationship of a transmitter unit, the type of which is also irrelevant for the method, of known struc- ture and operation for those skilled in the art, and a receiver unit in operational connection with it is observed and recorded in the receiver unit in step 5. In this step, the relative fixed position of the transmitter unit and the receiver unit or the movement, itinerary, of the transmitter unit relative to the receiver unit is also recorded, so that this information/datum is also stored in the code repository of the receiver unit. The referenced relationship, that is, the connection and relation of the two units, is an essential feature of the invention and essentially means spatial, 3D, connection, that is, an initial situation meaning the position of the two units, that is the receiver unit and the transmitter unit - or in case of several transmitter units, each transmitter unit - relative to each other when the activation code is emitted in step 6 by the transmitter unit and is received in step 7 where we "teach " it to the receiver unit, i.e. it is stored in it in step 8. It will be obvious for those skilled in the art that the storage, that is, the code repository, is not necessarily located in the receiver unit, but may be connected or coupled to it in some known manner. In step 9 it will be examined whether there are any further transmitter units to be associated to the receiver unit; if so, we return to process step 4, to observe the relationship between the next transmitter unit and the receiver unit. Obviously, in case of several transmitter units, each relationship will be different; this can be ensured not only by instructing the users to that effect, but also by the mere fact that it is excluded that two users should perform the task in exactly and fully the same spatial arrangement, since we speak of transmitter units that are hand-held, freely. If there are no more transmitter units, the process terminates in step 10.
The activation code may be e.g. an optical signal sequence, radio frequency signal sequence, electromechanical signal sequence, acoustic signal sequence, itinerary or a combination thereof cre- ated in advance, maybe regulated by a rule. The essence of this step is to have an appropriate signal sequence, a code, to be applied for encoding, and the evaluation unit of the structure and operation known to those skilled in the art, within the receiver unit or connected to the receiver unit or assigned to it in another way should emit, under the effect of the appropriate code, appropriate signal sequence, an output signal during the operation of the receiver unit that can be consid- ered essentially a signal enabling the targeted access.
In the present case, the receiver unit and the one or several transmitter units are of course in wireless connection with each other, and any device known and used in this special field, e.g. remote controller, proximity signal emitter or even mobile communication devices such as smart phones that have been widely used for this purpose recently may be used as a transmitter unit. If necessary, the receiver unit containing the activation code and the transmitter unit are associated with each other in the next step, that means in practice, that the receiver unit is "taught" the one or several transmitter units or more specifically the code emitted by the transmitter unit.
With that the encoding process has been completed by and large, and the receiver unit has been enabled to receive appropriately the signalled real code, emitted by one or several different transmitter unit(s).
Figure 2 depicts a preferred implementation of the decoding method according to the invention, shown here by way of example. The process starts in step 11, and in step 12 it is examined whether the receiver unit is operational; whether it can receive the signal emitted by the one or several transmitter unit(s). If not, then the receiver unit is put in operation, i.e. most often switched on, in step 13. After repeating step 12, we can already move on to step 14, where we are waiting for some input signal emitted by a transmitter unit. If it is perceived in step 15 that the receiver unit has received a signal, in the subsequent steps 16 and 17, before the actual checking and processing of the actual activation code, we check the relationship of the receiver unit and the transmitter unit - to refer back to the previous, encoding example: whether the transmitter unit is in the appropriate spatial position it had occupied during encoding during the emission of its activation code. If not, we return to step 14 and wait for another signal sequence to be emitted.
If it is ascertained in step 17 through the receiver unit that the relation between the receiver unit and the transmitter unit is appropriate, we move on to step 18 where we wait for the transmitter unit to emit its actual activation code, to be received in step 19. If it is established in step 20 that the received signal is a correct, complete and full signal sequence, that is, the activation code issued by the transmitter unit is identical to the activation code recorded in/assigned to the receiver unit, an access enabling signal is emitted in step 21 and the process is terminated in step 22.
Thus, according to the invention, first the relationship between the receiver unit and the trans- mitter unit is examined. This relationship may be enhanced preferably also by using some kind of an auxiliary signal, meaning in the present example using colour coding on the transmitter unit. In a possible embodiment, this means that the user still holds or moves the transmitter unit during decoding according to a colour match associated with the encoding process; through this we can ensure that should an unauthorised person get hold of the transmitter unit, that person will not be able to make the receiver unit emit the access enabling signal, by operating it - despite the fact that it issues the appropriate activation code -, since he/she does not know the further activation code, namely the required relative position or movement of the transmitter unit and the receiver unit.
The above method, presented by way of example only, in its essential main points, can be realised by those skilled in the art without almost any limitation, in several ways, by using the most up-to- date technical devices ever. The application area of the method is not limited to e.g. locks, but can be used in the most diverse areas and applications requiring access regulation/surveillance.

9. The method for decoding to provide access according to claim 8, characterised in that auxiliary signals are used to set the spatial position of the transmitter unit and the receiver unit relative to each other that determines the further activation code stored in the receiver unit.
10. The method for decoding to provide access according to claim 8, characterised in that colour coding is used as an auxiliary signal.
11. The method for decoding to provide access according to claim 8, characterised in that a mobile communication device is used as transmitter unit.
