ELECTRIC LOCK CONTROL CIRCUIT AND METHOD
First Claim
1. An electric lock control circuit for controlling an electric lock with a reference password pertaining to a parameter related to at least two dimensions, the electric lock control circuit comprising:
- a substrate;
a memory unit disposed on the substrate for storing the reference password;
an input unit disposed on the substrate for generating a parameter signal based on rotation of the input unit in a space of at least two dimensions; and
a processing unit connected to the memory unit and the input unit for converting the parameter signal into an input code and sending a release lock signal to the electric lock when the input code matches the reference password.

Abstract
An electric lock control circuit and method allow users to control an electric lock with a reference password pertaining to a parameter related to at least two dimensions. The circuit includes a substrate, a memory unit, an input unit, and a processing unit. The memory unit stores the reference password. The input unit rotates in a space of at least two dimensions to generate a parameter signal related to at least two dimensions. The processing unit encodes the parameter signal to turn the parameter signal into an input code and outputs an unlocking signal or a locking signal based on a result of comparison of the input code and the reference password to control the electric lock. Controlling the electric lock with a reference password pertaining to a parameter related to at least two dimensions enhances confidentiality and complexity of the electric lock.

10. An electric lock control method for controlling an electric lock having an input unit, the electric lock being controlled with a reference password pertaining to a parameter related to at least two dimensions, the electric lock control method comprising the steps of:
-
step (a);
rotating the input unit in a space of at least two dimensions to generate a parameter signal pertaining to a parameter related to at least two dimensions;step (b);
converting the parameter signal into an input code; andstep (c);
comparing the input code with the reference password when the electric lock is in a locked state to determine that a release lock signal has to be sent to the electric lock when a result of the comparison indicates that the input code matches the reference password. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
