SECURE SYSTEM FOR PROGRAMMING ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED LOCKING DEVICES BY MEANS OF ENCRYPTED ACOUSTIC ACCREDITATIONS
First Claim
1. A secured system for controlling the opening of lock devices, comprising:
- at least one lock device (22) provided with electronic circuits for the conditional control of locking/unlocking mechanical members based on previously defined access rights;
a mobile phone (20) at the disposal of a master-user; and
a remote management site (10);
the system being characterized in that;
the remote management site comprises;
a database (12) of lock devices and authorized users with, for each lock device, an associated unique identifier, a list of authorized users with corresponding access right data, and possibly additional data; and
a generator (14) of accreditation data, the accreditations being encrypted acoustic accreditations in the form of single-use audio signals, adapted for allowing the programming of the lock devices with the access rights indexed in the database and/or with said additional data;
the system comprises means for secured transmission of said accreditation data from the management site to the mobile phone of the master-user;
the phone (20) comprises an electroacoustic transducer (42) capable of reproducing said acoustic accreditations;
the lock device (22) comprises;
an electroacoustic transducer (54) capable of picking up the acoustic accreditations reproduced by the phone'"'"'s transducer previously placed in the vicinity of the lock device; and
means for recognizing, analyzing and authenticating the acoustic accreditations picked up by the transducer, and performing a programming of the access rights and/or of the additional data upon recognizing a compliant accreditation.

Abstract
The invention relates to a system implementing a mobile telephone (20) to which a master user authorized to program a lock (22) has access. A remote management site (10) includes a database (12) of locks and authorized users, having each lock, a list of authorized users with corresponding access rights, as well as an accreditation data generator (14). The accreditations are encrypted acoustic accreditations in the form of single-use audio signals, suitable for programming locks indexed in the database by the access rights indexed in the database and/or by additional data. The system includes a means for securely transmitting the encrypted acoustic accreditations from the management site to the mobile telephone of the master user. The lock (22) includes an electro-acoustic transducer (54) that is suitable for picking up acoustic accreditations reproduced by the telephone placed beforehand near the lock, as well as a means for recognizing, analyzing and authenticating the picked-up acoustic accreditations, and for programming access rights and/or additional data upon recognizing a compliant accreditation.
