Abstract

A wireless door lock device and a biometric door lock controlling system are provided. The biometric door lock controlling system includes: a door lock controlling device and a mobile device carrier in wireless transmission communication therewith. The door lock controlling device includes a power supply module, a control circuit module, a communication circuit module, a drive circuit module and a drive motor. The mobile device carrier is installed with an application, a biometric module and an application communication module. After a wireless handshake is established between the application communication module and the communication circuit module and the biometric module authenticates a biometric identifier, an encrypted control signal including a lock or unlock instruction is transmitted by the application communication module via the communication circuit module to the control circuit module for the control circuit module to actuate the drive motor through the drive circuit module to perform locking or unlocking.
