  • Patent number: 9984523
    Abstract: A control system includes an electronic key storing identification data. The electronic key includes a biological feature pickup device for inputting biological feature identification information. The electronic key can be paired with at least one lock device. When the electronic key is connected to the at least one lock device, the at least one lock device reads the identification data in a main memory of the electronic key for comparison with authenticated identification information stored in the at least one lock device. Furthermore, the biological feature identification information is compared with authenticated biological feature identification information stored in the at least one lock device. Thus, the at least one lock device can be controlled to be in a locked state or an unlocked state. Thus, a single electronic key can be used to control a plurality of lock devices of different security levels.

  • Publication number: 20180106077
    Abstract: An inner operating device for a door lock is mounted to an inner side of a door and includes a first detecting member electrically connected to an electric driving device. A second detecting member is mounted in a latch device of the door lock. When the first detecting member detects an external force applied to the inner operating device, the electric driving device is activated, and the latch is moved to the unlatching position. When the latch device is set to be in a locked state or an unlocked state, the second detecting device outputs a signal to a lighting device to emit light for indicating the locked or unlocked state. In another example, the lighting device emits light of a first color when the latch device is in the locked state and emits light of a second color when the latch device is in the unlocked state.

  • Patent number: 9691203
    Abstract: A door access control system permitting electronic and mechanical unlocking includes a lock mounted to a door and an unlocking device matched with the lock. The lock can be set to be in a normal mode or an away mode. The unlocking device can be used to input a real-time unlocking identification information that is transmitted to the lock for comparison purposes. The lock can also be unlocked by a key. When the lock is set to be in the away mode, an alarm device is activated if the key is used. In this case, a first input device of the lock can be used to input a real-time alarm deactivating information to deactivate the alarm device. When the lock is set to be in the normal mode, the alarm device does not operate even if the key is used to unlock the lock.

  • Patent number: 9641510
    Abstract: A control system includes a control device, a controller, a plurality of user mobile devices, and a manager mobile device. An initial first identification information picked up by each user mobile device is sent to the manager mobile device, is authenticated, and is encoded together with a control device identification number corresponding to the control device. Every time a user mobile device is connected to the controller for opening the control device, a holder of the user mobile device is requested to input an instant first identification information. After decoding by a decoding key, the controller identifies whether the instant first identification information is identical to the authenticated initial first identification information and identifies whether the obtained control device identification number is identical to that of the control device. The identification result is used to decide whether the control device should be set to be an open state.
