Signal Based Arrangement of Pin Tumbler Pins
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system, comprising:
- an identification component configured to identify a signal; and
a conversion component configured to convert the signal to a physical placement sequence that corresponds to the signal,where the physical placement sequence places a set of actuation devices into a physical arrangement,where individual actuation devices are individually associated with individual pins andwhere the individual pins are part of a pin tumbler apparatus with a lock status and an unlock status.

Abstract
Various embodiments that pertain to signal based arrangement of pin tumbler pins are described. A receiver can receive and process a signal. The signal can indicate an arrangement for the pins of the pin tumblers. With a proper signal, the pins can be placed so that the pin tumbler unlocks. Security measures can be put into place to make sure the signal is a valid signal, such as through employment of a hash function set (e.g., two hash functions).

8. A system, comprising:
-
a pin set; and an actuation device set coupled to the pin set, where the actuation device set moves linearly in response to a signal and where in response to the linear movement of the actuation device, the pin set moves linearly. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method, comprising:
-
controlling a blocking mechanism to be in a first state such that the blocking mechanism prevents activation of a system; and controlling the blocking mechanism to be in a second state such that the blocking mechanism promotes activation of the system, where controlling the blocking mechanism to be in the first state occurs when a pin tumbler is unengaged, where controlling the blocking mechanism to be in the second state occurs when the pin tumbler is engaged, and where the engagement and the unengagement of the pin tumbler is managed by way of an electrical signal. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
