  • Patent number: 7543755
    Abstract: An electronic security system is provided with an electronic key and an electronic locking apparatus. The electronic key includes an identification data registry for storing one or more identification data for locking and unlocking. The electronic locking apparatus includes a key data registry for storing a key data having a predetermined relationship with an identification data of an electronic key corresponding to the electronic locking apparatus. The system includes with a reader/writer for reading and writing the identification data in and from the identification data registry. This system ensures an improved convenience by making a single key compatible with a plurality of objects.

  • Patent number: 6864780
    Abstract: A data transmission system using a human body as a signal transmission path includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter uses a pair of electrodes which are held in close proximity to the skin of the human body. The transmitter transmits data to the receiver through the signal transmission path partly extending through the human body when a user carrying the transmitter touches a touch electrode of the receiver. The electrodes are integrated into a garment worn by the user in such a manner that the electrodes are kept in a closely facing relation to the skin of the user, thereby establishing the electrical path extending through the human body. With the integration of the two electrodes into the garment, the user wearing the garment as an everyday clothes or uniform can be easy and convenient to carry the transmitter for successful transmission of the data.
