SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EXTRACTING KEY CODE DATA AND CONFIGURING VEHICLE KEYS
A system and method to automatically extract bitting information, such as keycode information, for replicating original/master key. System comprises an imaging device that scans the key blade of the original key and sends images to the server where the keycode gets extracted using an iterative software algorithm based on maximum likelihood principle. In one example a system comprises a kiosk which includes SBC (Single Board Computer), imaging device, touch screen and transponder identification module determines compatible SKU (from internal SKU database) if needed, and a compatible key with a matched cut key blade gets delivered to the location of Kiosk to get paired to the car. Another type system comprises a Smartphone/tablet with CKE application instead of KIOSK to scan the original keyblade. The application sends images to a central server for decoding and cutting a duplicate key, and a compatible duplicate key with matched cut key blade is delivered to the associated customer.
The present invention generally relates to the field of replicating or copying keys. More specifically, the present invention relates to creating a copy of a master key based on a captured image of the master key.
