Abstract

A password setting method includes the following steps of: providing a lock body, which is configured with identification data; providing a reset device including a RFID, which has characteristic data; accessing the RFID to obtain the characteristic data; transmitting the characteristic data to the lock body; comparing the characteristic data and the identification data; and when the characteristic data matches the identification data, enabling a password setting function of the lock body. In addition, a password setting system and a lockset matching method and system are also disclosed.

Claims

1. A password setting method, comprising steps of:

providing a lock body, which stores identification data;

providing a reset device including a RFID tag, which has characteristic data having permission to trigger a password setting function of the lock body;

by using a portable device, accessing the RFID tag of the reset device to obtain the characteristic data;

by using the portable device, transmitting the characteristic data to the lock body;

by using the lock body, comparing the characteristic data and the identification data; and

when the characteristic data matches the identification data, triggering and entering the password setting function of the lock body.

2. The password setting method of claim 1, wherein the step of transmitting the characteristic data to the lock body comprises:

converting the characteristic data into encoded characteristic data according to an encoding algorithm; and

transmitting the encoded characteristic data to the lock body.

3. The password setting method of claim 1, wherein the lock body is a physical lock, an e-file lock, or a circuit lock.

4. The password setting method of claim 1, wherein the reset device is an inductive card.

5. The password setting method of claim 1, wherein the characteristic data are tag information, or a combination of tag information and encoded tag information.

6. The password setting method of claim 5, wherein the encoded tag information are digital data, image data or voice data.

7. A lock body indirectly cooperated with a reset device, which includes a RFID tag having readable characteristic data, the lock body comprising:

a wireless transceiver module wirelessly coupled to a portable device which accesses the RFID tag of the reset device to obtain the characteristic data and then transmits the obtained characteristic data to the wireless transceiver module, wherein the characteristic data has permission to trigger a password setting function of the lock body;

a memory module storing identification data; and

a judgement module determining whether the characteristic data matches the identification data or not, and when the characteristic data matches the identification data, triggering and entering the password setting function.

8. The lock body of claim 7, wherein the characteristic data are tag information, or a combination of tag information and encoded tag information.

9. The lock body of claim 7, wherein the lock body is a physical lock, an e-file lock, or a circuit lock.

10. The lock body of claim 7, wherein the reset device is an inductive card.
