Abstract

A kind of method for electronic lock system making the key-following password tidy up immediately after use, in which: a. establish human characteristic sensor and temporary password memory on the main body of the electronic key and data transmission unit of the lock password, lock controlling unit and user'"'"'s database on the lock main body; b. firstly, human characteristic sensor gathers every user'"'"'s human characteristic information that can be changed into corresponding authentification code in the producing unit for the password and deposited into the temporary password memory temporarily, meanwhile transported into data transmission unit of the lock password through data transmission unit of the key password; secondly, the password is deposited into the user'"'"'s database after being registered and confirmed; c. when the human characteristic sensor leaves the human body or the authentification code is conveyed successfully, the temporary password memory is tidied up.

Claims

1. A method of instant clearing electronic lock after key-cipher use based on a system comprising an electronic key main body, a lock main body, a lock operation unit, wherein the method comprises the steps of:

a. providing a human characteristic sensor, a key micro processing unit, a cipher generating unit, a cipher temporary storage unit, and a key cipher data transmitting unit on said electronic key main body;

b. providing a lock cipher data transmission unit, a lock controlling unit, and a user database on said lock main body;

c. collecting every user'"'"'s human characteristic information by said human characteristic sensor first, generating according cipher by said cipher generating unit, storing said cipher in said cipher temporary storage unit temporarily, transmitting said cipher data to said lock cipher data transmission unit by said key cipher data transmission unit, verifying said cipher'"'"'s registration, saving in said user database, clearing said temporary cipher storage unit after the human body is disconnected from said human characteristic sensor;

d. collecting user'"'"'s human characteristic information by said human characteristic sensor when the registered user is using said electronic key main body to open the lock, generating said cipher again by said cipher generating unit, storing said cipher temporarily in said cipher temporary storage unit, transmitting said cipher data to said lock cipher data transmission unit through said key cipher data transmission unit, checking said cipher data on said user database by said lock controlling unit on said lock main body to confirm if there is a same record; and

e. sending command to said lock operation element to open the lock if a same record is found in said database by said lock controlling unit, or delivering a warning message and saving an error message by said lock controlling unit if no same record is found.

2. The method, as recited in claim 1, wherein said cipher generating unit comprises a main cipher arithmetic unit and an additional cipher arithmetic unit, wherein the step c also comprises the steps of:

a. processing human characteristic information to generate multiple bytes main cipher by said main cipher arithmetic unit;

b. recalling additional cipher from said additional cipher arithmetic unit by said key microprocessor unit, combining said main cipher and said additional cipher, storing said combined cipher in said cipher temporary storage unit;

c. checking if the physical body is disconnected with said human characteristic sensor according to the process of operation by said key microprocessor unit, deciding the time delay to clear said cipher temporary storage unit.

3. The method, as recited in claim 1, wherein said electronic key main body also comprises a key keypad which is controlled by said key microprocessor unit to collect said additional cipher, store it in said additional cipher arithmetic unit said, and a key display unit which is controlled by said key cipher microprocessor unit to display the operational information.

4.
