[0081] The following will be described in detail with a specific example when the communication component is a Bluetooth communication component:

[0082] Unlocking process: the user obtains the smart lock identification code through the vehicle use APP on the mobile terminal, for example, obtains the smart lock identification code by scanning the code, or manually inputs the smart lock number on the vehicle use APP, then sends the smart lock identification code and the user's identity information to the background server through the mobile terminal to request unlocking, after the background server receives the unlocking request, verifies the user's identity and the smart lock identification code, sends a first signal to the mobile terminal, the first signal carries a Bluetooth key associated with the Bluetooth communication component 1011 of the smart lock, the mobile terminal establishes a data communication connection with the Bluetooth communication component 1011 of the smart lock through the built-in Bluetooth communication component and the above Bluetooth key, then sends the unlocking instruction to the processor 104 in the smart lock through the first shell 1021 and the Bluetooth communication component 1011 through the data communication connection, after the processor 104 receives the unlocking instruction, controls the smart lock to open.

[0084] The locking process can also be: the processor 104 in the smart lock generates a third signal after determining that the smart lock is closed, the third signal carries the information that the smart lock has been closed; sends the third signal to the mobile communication component, the mobile communication component sends the third signal to the background server through the first shell 1021, the third signal can carry the time information of the smart lock closing and the time information of the smart lock opening, after the background server receives the information that the smart lock has been closed and the time information of the smart lock opening and closing, it will generate the user's ride order according to these information and the user's identity information.

[0085] The smart lock also includes a motor connected to the processor 104, when the processor 104 receives the first digital signal carrying the unlocking instruction, it will control the motor to rotate, thereby driving the lock tongue to rotate and open the smart lock.

[0086] The smart lock is internally provided with a micro switch connected to the processor 104, and the processor 104 can determine the opening and closing of the smart lock through the micro switch. The processor determines the closing of the smart lock through the signal sent by the micro switch.

[0087] A preferred embodiment, the technical solutions proposed in the embodiment 1 of the present application, as shown in Figure 7 The communication component is a radio frequency communication component 1012, and the smart lock further comprises a processor 104, which is located inside the lock shell and connected with the radio frequency communication component 1012.

[0088] The first shell 1021 is used for receiving the fifth signal sent by the radio frequency communication component 1012 and transmitting the fifth signal, and transmitting the sixth signal to the radio frequency communication component 1012 when receiving the sixth signal returned by the smart card, wherein the sixth signal carries the identification information of the smart card.

[0089] Here, the identification information of the smart card includes the card number and the balance of the smart card.

[0090] The smart card can be a bus card, a bank card, a multifunctional mobile phone card or other smart cards, and the smart card is provided with a coil and a storage chip. When the coil senses the first radio frequency signal sent by the first shell, an induced current is generated, which is used to power the storage chip, so that the storage chip transmits the identification information of the smart card stored inside to the first shell.

[0091] In addition, the smart card can also be integrated on a device that is easy to carry for the user, such as a mobile phone, a bracelet, a tablet computer, so that the mobile phone, the bracelet and the tablet computer also have the function of opening the smart lock.

[0092] The radio frequency communication component 1012 is used for transmitting the fifth signal to the first shell 1021, and receiving the sixth signal returned by the first shell 1021 and transmitting the sixth signal to the processor 104.

[0096] The following is a specific example to illustrate the unlocking process of the smart lock when the communication component is a radio frequency communication component and the unlocking device is a smart card:

[0097] When the user uses a smart card, such as a card, the user holds the card close to the first shell 1021 of the smart lock, the first shell 1021 transmits a fifth signal to the card, the fifth signal is a radio frequency signal, and the card returns a sixth signal carrying the card number and balance of the card to the first shell 1021 after receiving the radio frequency signal. The first shell 1021 sends the sixth signal to the radio frequency communication component 1012, and the radio frequency communication component 1012 sends the sixth signal to the processor 104 after receiving the sixth signal. The processor 104 compares the received card number with the pre-stored legal card number to determine whether the card is a legal card, and determines whether the balance of the card is greater than a set value. If so, the smart lock is opened.

[0098] In the above-mentioned smart lock with a radio frequency communication component, preferably, the smart lock further comprises a mobile communication component (not shown in the figure) in communication connection with a background server. When the processor determines that the smart lock is closed, the smart lock has closed information is sent to the background server through the mobile communication component, the smart lock has closed information carries the opening time and closing time of the smart lock, so that the background server generates an order based on the smart lock has closed information.

The processor 104 is connected with the radio frequency communication component 1012. The structure diagram of the smart lock of this embodiment can be referred to Figure 7 .

[0100] The first shell 1021 is also used for receiving a signal for requesting to obtain the smart lock identification code sent by the mobile terminal, sending the signal for requesting to obtain the smart lock identification code to the radio frequency communication component, receiving the smart lock identification code signal returned by the radio frequency communication component 1012, and sending the smart lock identification code to the mobile terminal. After receiving the seventh signal returned by the mobile terminal, the seventh signal carries the unlocking information.

[0101] The unlocking information is an unlocking password or an unlocking instruction, and the unlocking instruction is an instruction for instructing the smart lock to unlock.

[0102] The mobile terminal is a mobile phone, a tablet computer or other smart device with an unlocking APP of the user.

[0103] The radio frequency communication component 1012 is also used to send a request to obtain the smart lock identification code signal to the processor 104; after receiving the smart lock identification code signal returned by the processor, send the smart lock identification code signal to the first housing 1021; and after receiving the seventh signal returned by the first housing 1021, send the seventh signal to the processor 104.

[0104] The processor 104 is also configured to send the smart lock identification code signal to the radio frequency communication component 1012 after receiving the request signal to obtain the smart lock identification code; and to control the smart lock to open after receiving the seventh signal returned by the radio frequency communication component 1012.

[0105] The mobile terminal in this scheme refers to a smartphone, tablet, or handheld computer with Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, without any specific limitations.

[0106] The following example illustrates in detail the unlocking process of a smart lock when the communication component is an radio frequency communication component and the unlocking device is a mobile terminal with NFC functionality:

[0107] The following is a specific example to illustrate this in detail:

[0108] When a user brings their NFC-enabled phone with a car-use app installed close to the smart lock, the phone sends a request to obtain the smart lock's identification code signal via the NFC communication component. After obtaining the smart lock's identification code, the user sends the identification code to the backend server. The backend server then sends the unlocking information associated with the smart lock's identification code to the user's phone. The car-use app on the phone then sends the unlocking information to the smart lock via the NFC communication component. Upon receiving the unlocking information, the smart lock unlocks.

[0109] In the smart lock where the communication component is a radio frequency communication component, preferably, the smart lock may further include a mobile communication component that communicates with a back-end server. When the processor determines that the smart lock is closed, it directly sends the smart lock closed information to the back-end server through the mobile communication component. The smart lock closed information carries the smart lock opening time and the smart lock closing time, so that the back-end server can generate an order based on the smart lock closed information.

[0110] In a preferred embodiment, as described in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the communication component is a mobile communication component 1013, and the smart lock also includes a processor 104, which is located inside the lock housing 102 and is connected to the mobile communication component 1013.

[0111] The mobile communication component 1013 communicates based on a mobile data connection.

[0112] The first shell 1021 is configured to receive the eighth signal sent by the background server and send the eighth signal to the mobile communication component 1013.

[0113] The eighth signal carries the unlocking information, and the unlocking information includes an unlocking instruction or an unlocking password.

[0114] The mobile communication component 1013 is configured to send the eighth signal to the processor.

[0115] The processor 104 is configured to control the smart lock to open when the unlocking information is received.

[0116] For the purpose of illustration, a specific embodiment is described below:

[0117] The user uses a mobile phone to open a car using an APP, scans a two-dimensional code on the smart lock, obtains a smart lock identification code, and sends an unlocking request carrying the smart lock identification code and user identity information to the background server. After the background server receives the unlocking request sent by the user's mobile phone, the user's identity information is verified, and the eighth signal is sent to the smart lock. The eighth signal carries the unlocking instruction. When the first shell of the smart lock receives the eighth signal, the eighth signal is sent to the mobile communication component, the mobile communication component sends the sixth signal to the processor, and the processor receives the unlocking instruction carried in the eighth signal. The smart lock is opened.

[0118] After the processor determines to close the lock, the smart lock has closed information is sent to the background server through the mobile communication component, so that the background server generates order information.
