Abstract

An electric lock system includes an electrically locking device including a memory unit, a first communication unit, an electric lock and a first processing unit, and a wireless communication device including a second communication unit, a second processing unit, and a second input unit. The memory unit stores an unlock code, a request code and a message. The first processing unit compares an input code with the request code and controls the first communication unit to transmit the message to the communication device if the input code matches the request code. The second processing unit controls the second communication unit to transmit an unlock request code to the first communication unit according to the message received by the second communication unit. The first processing unit compares the unlock request code with the unlock code, and unlocks the electric lock if the unlock request code matches the unlock code.

Claims

1. An electric lock system, comprising:

an electrically locking device comprising a memory unit, a first processing unit, a first communication unit, and an electric lock, the memory unit configured for storing an unlock code, a request code and a request message; and

a wireless communication device comprising a second communication unit, a second processing unit, and a second input unit;

wherein the first processing unit is configured for comparing an input code with the request code and controlling the first communication unit to transmit the request message to the wireless communication device if the input code matches the request code, and the second communication unit is configured for receiving the request message and the second processing unit is configured for controlling the second communication unit to transmit an input unlock request code to the first communication unit according to the received request message, and the first processing unit is configured for comparing the unlock request code received by the first communication unit with the unlock code, and unlocking the electric lock if the unlock request code matches the unlock code.

2. The electric lock system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the electrically locking device further comprises a first input unit configured for generating the input code according to a user'"'"'s input.

3. The electric lock system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the electrically locking device further comprises a first notifying unit configured for notifying the user if the input code is different from the request code.

4. The electric lock system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first communication unit is a global system for mobile communications unit.

5. The electric lock system as claimed in claim 4, wherein the second communication unit is a global system for mobile communications unit.

6. The electric lock system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the wireless communication device further comprises a second input unit configured for generating the unlock request code according to an input of a user of the wireless communication device.

7. The electric lock system as claimed in claim 6, wherein the wireless communication device further comprises a second notifying unit configured for notifying the user once the request message is received.

8. The electric lock system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the wireless communication device is a cellular phone.

9. An electrically locking device communicating with a wireless communication device, comprising:

a memory unit configured for storing an unlock code, a request code and a request message;

a communication unit configured for transmitting the request message to the wireless communication device and configured for receiving an unlock request code transmitted from the wireless communication device;

an electric lock; and

a processing unit configured for comparing an input code with the request code, and configured for controlling the first communication unit to transmit the request message to the wireless communication device if the input code matches the request code and configured for comparing the received unlock request code with the unlock code and configured for unlocking the electric lock if the received unlock request code matches the unlock code.

10. The electrically locking device as claimed in claim 9, further comprising an input unit configured for generating the input code according to a user'"'"'s input.

11. The electrically locking device as claimed in claim 10, further comprising a notifying unit configured for notifying the user if the input code is different from the request code.

12. The electrically locking device as claimed in claim 9, wherein the communication unit is a global system for mobile communications unit.

13. An unlocking method of an electric lock system, the electric lock system configured for storing an unlock code, a request code and a request message and comprising a wireless communication device and an electric lock, the method comprising:

generating an input code according to a user'"'"'s input;

comparing the input code with the request code and transmitting the request message to the wireless communication device if the input code matches the request code;

receiving the request message and notifying a user of the wireless communication device according to the received request message.

generating an unlock request code according to the user'"'"'s input to the wireless communication device and transmitting the unlock request code;

receiving the unlock request code and comparing the received unlock request code with the unlock code; and

unlocking the electric lock if the received unlock request code matches the unlock code.

14. The method as claimed in claim 13, further comprising:

notifying the user if the input code is different from the request code.

15. The method as claimed in claim 13, further comprising:

notifying the user if the unlock request code is different from the unlock code.
