  • Secure electronic compartment lock and method therfor
    Publication number: 20040246096
    Abstract: An electronic lock that can be used on luggage, baggage, rail cars, trailers or any compartment that can be opened and re-locked. The lock provides tracking of when the lock was opened, where the lock was opened and data relating to the key that was used to open the lock. An input facility on the lock receives programmed data, which is capable of engaging the lock. The programmed data is typically stored on a magnetic card. A detection facility is coupled to the latch mechanism of the lock, and the detection facility detects engagement of the latch mechanism by the card. A memory stores data relating to the programmed data that engaged the latch mechanism. An identifier is mounted in proximity to the latch mechanism that identifies the lock and an output facility outputs data representative of lock activity.
