TL;DR: In this paper, a lock can receive electricity from a transformer of a doorbell chime while the lock is mounted on a door, and the lock can be electrically coupled to the face plate.
Abstract: A lock can receive electricity from a transformer of a doorbell chime while the lock is mounted on a door. The lock can be electrically coupled to the face plate. The face plate can be electrically coupled to the strike plate of the door frame. The strike plate of the doorframe can be electrically coupled to the transformer of the doorbell chime.
TL;DR: The paper presents a design of lock system for operating door without a control to open or lock it that brings a comfort and can be applied effectively and is available on almost all gadgets.
Abstract: Nowadays the use of Internet of Things (IoT) technology has developed that almost all aspects in human's life utilize IoT technology to increase the quality of life. Lock system is one of those aspects that has been impacted by the massive development of IoT, for example lock system that can be opened or closed by entering the password or by gadget to control it. The main component of smart home concept lays on the door, so the door lock system becomes an interesting topic to discuss. The paper presents a design of lock system for operating door without a control to open or lock it that brings a comfort and can be applied effectively. Besides, the lock system can be used for all kinds of human's physical condition. The system uses bluetooth technology with low power and is available on almost all gadgets. The design of the system is also completed with special feature to increase the security and the comfort of the users. The lock system indirectly supports the program of United Convention of Right People with Disabilities.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present smart lock systems as a promising solution, as they enable access to delivery couriers by means of dedicated digital keys, even when no one is at home to receive the order.
TL;DR: In this paper, a smart lock structure consisting of a key hole for access keys, an interrogating device for using radio frequency technology to communicate with a mobile device and accept access requests from the mobile device to unlock the smart key structure, and a lock mechanism in response to interaction between the key hole and access keys and communication between the interrogating devices and the mobile devices for unlocking the smart lock and gaining access thereof is presented.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a smart lock structure and an operating method thereof. The smart lock structure comprises a key hole for access keys, an interrogating device for using radio frequency technology to communicate with a mobile device and accept access requests from the mobile device to unlock the smart key structure, and a lock mechanism in response to interaction between the key hole and the access keys and communication between the interrogating device and the mobile device for unlocking the smart lock structure and gaining access thereof. The smart lock structure further comprises a falling proof device equipped beside the interrogating device to prevent falling of the mobile device. An operating method is also provided for normal operation and/or configuration of the smart lock structure.
TL;DR: An electronic access control and recording system includes a lock, a card reader, a key card, a database, and an administrator microprocessor configured to provide a user interface and to communicate with the database and with the card reader as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: An electronic access control and recording system includes a lock, a card reader, a key card configured to communicate with the lock and with the card reader, a database, and an administrator microprocessor configured to provide a user interface and to communicate with the database and with the card reader. At least one of the lock and the card contain a microprocessor and a non-volatile memory storing encrypted information. In use, the key card provides access to the lock and transfers the encrypted information between the lock and the database via the card reader and the administrator microprocessor. The administrator microprocessor provides a user interface for reviewing and administering the database. The user interface also provides account and password qualification for users.
