8. A microelectronic lock system comprising:
-
a remote processor; a biometric interface configured for connecting to a biometric sensor and receiving biometric data that a user inputs to the biometric sensor; and a control unit connected to the biometric interface and the remote processor, the control unit being configured to transmit the biometric data received through the biometric interface to the remote processor, to receive data from the remote processor, and to determine whether to grant access to the user according to the received data;
wherein;the remote processor is configured to compare the biometric data that the user inputs to the biometric sensor with biometric data stored in a database beforehand and if a match is identified to transmit an encoded security key to the control unit, the encoded security key being generated by performing a first set of operations on a code sequence; and the control unit is configured to perform a second set of operations on the encoded security key so as to restore the code sequence, to compare the restored code sequence and a reference code sequence so as to determine if the security key is genuine, and to grant access to the user if the security key is determined to be genuine. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
