1. A locking mechanism attached to a device acquiring power from a power generator mounted on the device, the locking mechanism comprising:
- a radio tag configured to acquire key information, which is for releasing locking, by radio communications;
a short-circuit unit configured to short-circuit the power generator; and
a control unit configured to acquire specific information of the device, make comparison between the specific information and the key information acquired by the radio tag, and cause the short-circuit unit to short-circuit the power generator based on a result of the comparison, so as to control locking of the device.

8. A locking system that manages locking of a bicycle by using an electronic device wirelessly communicative with the locking system, the bicycle acquiring power from a power generator mounted on the bicycle,
wherein the electronic device is configured to transmit key information which is for releasing the locking, wherein the bicycle includes a radio tag configured to acquire the key information transmitted from the electronic device by radio communications; -
a short-circuit unit configured to short-circuit the power generator; and a control unit configured to acquire specific information of the bicycle, make comparison between the specific information and the key information acquired by the radio tag, and cause the short-circuit unit to short-circuit the power generator based on a result of the comparison, so as to control locking of the bicycle. - View Dependent Claims (9)
