  • Patent number: 10521990
    Abstract: In a digital key system, each of a digital key and a digital lock include two terminals and an electric circuit to superimpose and separate a high-frequency signal and a DC current. A microcomputer is operated by DC current supplied from a battery of the digital key through the electric circuit when the digital key is connected to the digital lock, thereby causing an NFC unit to perform communication by the high-frequency signal with the digital key through the electric circuit, read unlocking authority information from a non-contact memory, and authenticate the read unlocking authority information.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9053592
    Abstract: A key management box includes a card reader configured to read ID for personal authentication, a data writing unit to write information on at least the ID read by the card reader in an electronic key, a data erasing unit configured to communication with the electronic key and disable the electronic key when the electronic key is determined to be a key on-lending, and a control substrate configured to determine that a lending mode is established when the card reader reads the ID and cause an electronic lock to permit opening/closing of a door and then activate the data writing unit, or configured to cause the electronic lock to permit opening/closing of the door when the data erasing unit determines that the electronic key is a key on-lending through communication with the electronic key while the card reader does not read ID.

  • Patent number: 8248206
    Abstract: In a key management box for centrally managing keys used to unlock the locks of a plurality of storage cabinets and comprising a key lock means for making impossible to take out the key, and electronic ID storage section performing personal authentication, and a controller for unlocking the key lock means for a key permitted for a personally authenticated user, the key is an electronic key with an IC tag, the IC tag stores the ID data of a user and data for specifying a storage cabinet permitted for the user to unlock out of a plurality of storage cabinets, and the key management box has a means for reading out the ID data of the IC tag, and a means for unlocking a lock means for a key having the ID data of the user when the electronic key ID storage section identifies a specific user. Consequently, the storage cabinets of the plurality of storage cabinets can be opened/close using one same key.
