Abstract

Door lock systems are disclosed. More particularly, virtual keys in door lock systems of properties such as houses and apartments, and public properties such as parking garages, or sports facilities, are disclosed. This includes managing virtual key based access of temporary users, to a property or a vehicle sealed by a self-powered lock, from the mobile phone of a permanent user. This is achieved by virtual configurable software keys which are operable with a mobile application, and configurable from the mobile application of the permanent user. These virtual configurable software keys are typically text strings with a data footprint sufficiently small to be transmitted over NFC.

Each key stores encrypted data defining an opening right to a particular subset of the plurality of electromechanical lock, the subset of locks assigned to the respective user. The system further comprises a service key storing, as a default, no encrypted data to any of the subsets of locks. The system further comprises a computer program product configured to receive, via a user interface of a personal electronic device of a user, a write authorization from the user of a specific subset of the plurality of electromechanical locks that are assigned to the user; in response to the write authorization, an opening right of the service key is generated for the specific subset of the plurality of electromechanical locks as the encrypted data, and the generated encrypted data containing the opening right to the specific subset of the plurality of electromechanical locks is written to the service key after checking the user has access rights to the specific subset of the plurality of electromechanical locks. Thereafter, the service can be used to open the subset of the plurality of electromechanical locks.

Electromechanical lock and method are disclosed. The lock includes: a movable permanent magnet to move between a first position and a second position; a stationary permanent semi-hard magnet; and an electrically powered magnetization coil positioned adjacent to the stationary permanent semi-hard magnet to switch a polarity of the stationary permanent semi-hard magnet between a first magnetization configuration and a second magnetization configuration. The first magnetization configuration of the stationary permanent semi-hard magnet moves the movable permanent magnet to the first position. The second magnetization configuration of the stationary permanent semi-hard magnet moves the movable permanent magnet to the second position. A magnetic axis of the movable permanent magnet is side by side with a magnetic axis of the stationary permanent semi-hard magnet.

Abstract

A method and a tag for opening a powerless electromechanical lock are provided. The tag comprises a power source, a near field communication transceiver, an antenna connected to the transceiver, an proximity switch and a controller. The switch is configured to wake up the controller from a low power mode upon a detection of a predetermined signal. The controller is configured after the wake up to activate the near field communication transceiver and control the transceiver to transmit via the antenna wirelessly first operating power to the lock for communication and authentication, perform authentication with the lock and, provided that the authentication is successful, control the transceiver to transmit wirelessly second operating power to the lock for the lock to be set into an openable state.
