Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for commissioning an electromechanical locking device on-site (an einem Ort). Furthermore, the present invention shows a system for commissioning a locking device on-site, by means of which the method can be carried out. Background Art

[0002] As a prior art document, EP1914368 A2 discloses that a locking device controls an electromechanical actuator by means of an electronic device of the locking device. The electromechanical actuator is used to turn a rotor into a rotatable state.

[0003] From another prior art, such as EP 1 899 924 B1, a key is known which can be inserted into an electromechanical locking device and exchange data with the locking device. If authorization is obtained via the data exchange here, the key can be rotated in the locking device.

[0004] However, first, the electromechanical device needs to be commissioned. Generally, in the prior art, during commissioning, corresponding authorization is first assigned to the locking device. Subsequently, the locking device is taken to the installation location and inserted into the lock of the door. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for commissioning an electromechanical locking device on-site, which can be carried out as efficiently as possible. Furthermore, the object of the present invention is to provide a corresponding system for carrying out the method.

[0006] The object solution is achieved by the features of the independent claims. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are the subject matter of the dependent claims. The features and details described in connection with the method according to the present invention are also applicable in connection with the system according to the present invention, and vice versa. In particular, a method and / or a system are protected, which method can be carried out by means of the system according to claim 16, by means of which system the method according to any one of claims 1 to 15 can be carried out.

[0007] The present invention shows a method for commissioning an electromechanical locking device on-site. The electromechanical locking device is preferably a lock cylinder, in particular a double lock cylinder or a half lock cylinder, a furniture lock cylinder or a hanging lock or a similar device. The electromechanical locking device configured as a lock cylinder can be inserted into a lock (such as a mortise lock) at a door as a feasible closing element. A hanging lock can be provided at a door, for example. The setting of the locking device at or in different closing elements, for example at or in a door, an access, a drawer, a cabinet, is feasible.

[0008] The "location" can be used to identify, and in particular to clearly identify, the location where the locking device is used. Preferably, it is proposed that a plurality of electromechanical locking devices are commissioned according to the method described below, and the location is specific such that it is only applicable to one of the locked devices that have been commissioned, rather than to a plurality of locked devices. The plurality of locking devices can be configured differently, for example, partly as double-cylinder locks, partly as hanging locks, or as double-cylinder locks with different lengths.

[0009] The location can be, for example, a building and / or a cabinet, such as a switch cabinet, and / or a specific space within a building and / or a specific door. In addition, the location can also be outside the building, for example, when the locking device is used at a door or an access point of a fence or a wall. Examples of locations are "Hotel Room 308", "Office 416", "Switch Cabinet on Luisenstraße", "Building in Basement 1", "Front House Door at Amalienstraße 13".

[0010] The locking device includes locking device electronics. The locking device electronics preferably include a processor, such as a microprocessor and / or an electronic data memory.

[0011] The locking device includes an electromechanical actuator and a bolt. In the method, the electromechanical actuator is controlled by the locking device electronics of the locking device to convert the bolt from a non-rotatable state to a rotatable state.

[0012] The actuator can be configured, for example, as a solenoid or an electric motor.

[0013] The bolt is preferably configured non-rotationally symmetrically and can, in the rotatable state, unlock or lock a closing element, in particular a door, when rotating.

[0014] If the locking device is configured, for example, as a lock cylinder and inserted into a corresponding lock, the bolt can, for example, move a latch or a bolt in the lock. For example, the bolt can correspond to the nose of a lock cylinder. In another example, the bolt can include a recess in which a locking element can slide to unlock the clamp of a hanging lock.

[0015] The electromechanical actuator can, in turn, be made to cause the bolt to transition to a rotatable state when correspondingly controlled by the locking device electronics. For this purpose, unlocking or coupling can be carried out. In particular, the locking device can include a housing in which a rotor is at least indirectly rotatably supported. The previously locked rotor can be unlocked by means of the actuator such that the rotor and the bolt connected to the rotor can rotate. Additionally or alternatively, the rotor can be coupled to the bolt by means of the actuator, whereby the bolt can rotate together with the rotor. The decoupled and / or locked state of the bolt is referred to as the non-rotatable state. The coupled and / or unlocked state of the bolt is referred to as the rotatable state.

[0016] During the operation of the locking device, this especially depends on whether the access authorization check can be successfully completed in the system, for example, whether the access authorization information stored in the locking device matches the corresponding access authorization information of the inserted key.

[0017] Preferably, it is proposed that the locking device is associated with a distinct electronic identification, and the identification is stored in the locking device, preferably in the locking device electronics, especially on a microchip. The identification is, for example, a character string stored in the locking device.

[0018] Additionally or alternatively, it may be that the key includes a distinct electronic key identification. The electronic key identification is stored in the electronics of the key.

[0019] The method at least includes the following steps. The steps are executed by the locking device:

[0020] a. Detect an electronic key,

[0021] b. Trigger a function check routine, wherein the actuator is electrically controlled so as to change the bolt from a non-rotatable state to a rotatable state,

[0022] wherein the locking device is in the factory state in steps a and b,

[0023] c. Subsequently receive configuration data, wherein the configuration data includes at least one access authorization information, thereby changing the locking device from the factory state to a configured state.

[0024] Step a can preferably be carried out by the locking device electronics. The detection can be achieved in such a way that the locking device receives electrical energy from the key. Additionally or alternatively, the locking device electronics can receive electronic data from the key.

[0025] Step b can preferably be carried out by the locking device electronics.

[0026] Especially after step b, it is proposed that the bolt is rotated by means of the key. This is especially carried out manually by the installer. Thereby, the installer is convinced that the locking device can be operated electromechanically in compliance with the regulations.

[0027] According to the invention, the locking device is in the factory state during steps a and b. In the factory state, at least a part of the configuration data is missing, preferably all the configuration data set during operation for preventing unauthorized access by persons is missing. Therefore, through the transition from the factory state to the configured state, electronic configuration data is stored in the locking device, and unauthorized access by persons is prevented by means of the electronic configuration data.

[0028] Here, preventing access can be understood, for example, as the locking device receiving an opening instruction from a key but being unable to decrypt the opening instruction. For example, the key checks the access authorization in advance, for example, based on an identification. Preventing access can be additionally or alternatively understood as the locking device checking the access authorization, for example, based on the key identification, against a list of blocked authorizations, i.e., a so-called blacklist.

[0029] The access authorization information received in step c is thus information that restricts the manipulation of the actuator to change the bolt from a non-rotatable state to a rotatable state. Thereby, the number of keys is reduced with which the actuator is manipulated to change the bolt from a non-rotatable state to a rotatable state.

[0030] Therefore, according to the present invention, first, before it is difficult or impossible for the installer to check the electromechanical function of the locking device through the configuration data after step c, the installer can check the electromechanical function of the locking device through steps a and b. Since the locking device is initially in the factory state, it is simple for the installer to check the electromechanical function of the locking device. Therefore, the installer does not have to prepare different keys with different access authorizations to sequentially check the electromechanical functions of different locking devices. Rather, one key is sufficient for this. Thereby, the commissioning method gains efficiency. If the locking device is not functionally sufficient electromechanically, the locking device can be replaced without having to transfer the access authorization information from the non-functional locking device to the functional locking device.

[0031] Preferably, the access authorization information is initially received by the locking device in step c. Therefore, there is no update of the access authorization information involved.

[0032] Preferably, the configuration data is stored in a data memory.

[0033] It is possible that the configuration data corresponds to the access authorization information.

[0034] Preferably, it is proposed that the locking device can be rotated with any key in the factory state. In particular, it is proposed here that any key does not include or includes very general and effective access authorizations or very general and effective access authorization information that is accepted by the locking device. Any key is to be understood as a key that is compatible with a plurality of locking devices having the same mechanical internal structure. Therefore, the key can be structurally matched to the locking element. Thus, the key can, for example, be geometrically insertable and removable in the locking channel, have suitable electrical contact parts for electrical contact with corresponding contact parts of the locking device, etc. By enabling the bolt to be preferably rotatable with any key before step c, the electromechanical function of the locking device can be effectively checked first.

[0035] According to the design of the present invention, in particular for installers, it is possible to carry and / or install the locking device in the factory state at different locations without paying attention to access authorization information.

[0036] Preferably, the locking device in the factory state is installed at this location. That is, first, the mechanical installation of the locking device can be carried out before step c. Therefore, the installation is carried out before restricting or preventing the installer from accessing through the configuration data. Step b is particularly preferably carried out at least partially after the locking device is inserted into a closing element, in particular a door. Thereby, the installer can not only electrically and mechanically test the locking device, but also additionally check whether the bolt can achieve compliant unlocking of the closing element in the installed state, for example, whether a door with a lock can be unlocked with low friction by rotating the bolt.

[0037] Additionally or alternatively, step b is carried out at least partially to install the locking device on the closing element. In particular, it can be proposed that the bolt, in particular the locking nose, is rotated into a position in which the locking device can be inserted into the closing element. Alternatively, the clamp for unlocking the hanging lock is unlocked to fasten the hanging lock on the closing element. Thereby, the necessary installation steps can be used simultaneously to test the electro-mechanical functionality of the locking device.

[0038] It is also conceivable to carry out step b during or after installation.

[0039] Preferably, in step b, a function test routine is triggered regardless of the associated relationship with the locking system of the locking device.

[0040] In the configuration state, the locking device is associated with the locking system.

[0041] A plurality of locking devices in the locking device are within the locking system, and the plurality of locking devices are particularly debugged according to the method described herein. In addition, the locking system presents a specific access authorization concept. For example, the locking system can be associated with a plurality of authorized access persons, and each authorized access person is associated with one or more locking devices in the locking device as the authorized access devices.

[0042] The authorized access persons can be divided into authorization groups. For example, the locking system can relate to an apartment building. One authorization group can be considered for the building manager, who is allowed to close all locking devices; in addition to the locking devices at each residence. Another authorization group can be set for the residential owners, who are allowed to close, for example, the locking devices at the house entrance door and their own residence.

[0043] Preferably, it is proposed that the locking system includes a plurality of locking devices, which are associated with, in particular belong to, an owner, such as a housing association.

[0044] Preferably, the locking system is additionally or alternatively characterized in that the locking system includes at least one list with prohibited locking authorizations, which list is referred to as a blacklist. The prohibited locking authorizations can relate to one or more locking devices of the locking system. The at least one blacklist is preferably limited to a single locking system. In other words, different locking systems differ from each other in their respective blacklists.

[0045] Additionally or alternatively, the locking system can be characterized in that there is its own encrypted information in the locking system, such as its own encryption key and / or its own encryption algorithm. The encrypted information can also be referred to as cryptographic information, and / or the encryption key can be referred to as a cryptographic key. Thus, different locking systems preferably differ in the encrypted information.

[0046] In a manner that is independent of the association relationship with the locking system in step b, the installer can use only one key to sequentially check the electromechanical functionality of the locking devices of different locking systems. In particular, the installer can use only one key to sequentially install the locking devices of different locking systems at different locations, where the installer must in particular rotate the detent pin for installation.

[0047] Preferably, in step b, a function test routine is triggered independently of the location area of the locking device. Thus, the location area - for example, a building part with multiple doors - preferably relates to multiple locking devices, where the locking devices are arranged in this location area. The locking devices in the location area are preferably part of a single locking system. The locking system can include the locking devices of multiple location areas. For example, the locking system includes the locking devices of a building, and the location areas each include a floor of the building. The location area preferably includes multiple locations where the locking devices are installed.

[0048] In a manner that is independent of the association relationship with the location area in step b, the installer can use only one key to sequentially check the electromechanical functionality of the locking devices in different location areas. In particular, the installer can use only one key to sequentially install the locking devices in different location areas at different locations, where the installer must in particular rotate the detent pin for installation.

[0049] Preferably, in step b, a function test routine is triggered independently of the position of the locking device. Preferably, exactly one locking device is associated with a position. In a manner that is independent of the association relationship with the position in step b, the installer can use only one key to sequentially check the electromechanical functionality of multiple locking devices. In particular, the installer can use only one key to sequentially install the locking devices at different locations, where the installer must in particular rotate the detent pin for installation.

[0050] The key preferably includes a key stem. The key stem can be inserted into a locking device, preferably into a locking channel of the locking device. The key together with the key stem is preferably configured such that torque can be transmitted to the locking device via the key stem by means of the key. Thus, the mechanical movement of the locking device is preferably achieved by means of the key.

[0051] Preferably, it is proposed that the key establishes an electrical connection with the locking device, in particular via the key stem. The connection can be wireless or wired. The key and the locking device include corresponding transmission devices therefor. "Wired" (also referred to as non-wireless) means that the connection is realized via at least one arbitrary conductor in the key, which can be conductively contacted with the locking device electronics. The key and the locking device can include corresponding mutually corresponding electrical contacts as transmission devices for this purpose.

[0052] The connection can be used for transmitting data, in particular identification. It is feasible through the electrical connection to exchange data between the key and the locking device, in particular non-wirelessly. Alternatively or additionally, it is feasible through the transmission device to transmit electrical energy (also referred to as current) from the key to the locking device.

[0053] In step b, a function test routine is preferably triggered by means of a key that is structurally matched to the locking device. For example, a key that is structurally matched to the locking device is geometrically insertable and removable in the locking channel. Additionally or alternatively, a key that is structurally matched to the locking device has a transmission device that is matched to the transmission device of the locking device.

[0054] In particular, it is proposed that the same key can unlock all electromechanical locking devices of the manufacturer that are structurally matched in the factory state with a common encryption key or without an encryption key.

[0055] In particular, the key used in step a is configured to turn the detent of the locking device in the configured state into a rotatable state by means of an access authorization. That is to say, the installer can use the same key to check the electromechanical functionality of the locking device in the factory state and / or fasten the locking device in or on the closing element in the factory state, and to gain access to the space behind the lock during commissioning of the locking device. This is in particular only related to the electronic data of the key.

[0056] Thus, access authorizations for a locking device in a configured state can exist on the same key. For example, an installer also works as a house manager. In this function, the installer can install the locking device in the factory state and, after completion of the work, operate the already configured locking device at the house manager's residence with the same key. Additionally or alternatively, after step c, as part of the commissioning method, there can be at least a one-time access authorization on the key in order to test an authorized access.

[0057] It can be that, in the configured state of the locking device, the locking device electronics only controls the actuator to turn the bolt into a rotatable state when the access authorization has been previously tested. The access authorization test takes place in the system, in particular in the key and / or in the locking device. The access authorization can in particular be determined by means of an electronic identification of the key and / or a key identification. During the access authorization test, the key can, for example, send the key identification to the locking device and / or the locking device sends the identification to the key.

[0058] For example, it can be proposed that the electronic key determines the access authorization based on the electronic identification of the locking device and sends an opening instruction to the locking device. Additionally or alternatively, it can be that the key selects access authorization information based on the electronic identification and sends the selected access authorization information to the locking device for testing. Additionally or alternatively, it can be that the locking device tests the access authorization of the key identification, in particular based on a whitelist and / or a blacklist. Furthermore, for example, the position can be tested in the key. It can also be proposed that the key and / or the locking device test time access conditions.

[0059] In particular, it is proposed that step b is carried out without previously checking the access authorization related to the electronic identification of the locking device. Additionally or alternatively, it is proposed that step b is carried out without previously testing the access authorization related to the key identification of the locking device. Additionally or alternatively, it is proposed that step b is carried out without previously testing the access authorization related to the position. Thus, it is preferably proposed that the usual access authorization test carried out in the configured state of the locking device is not carried out in the factory state.

[0060] Preferably, step b is carried out without previously testing the access authorization related to the electronic identification (ID) of the locking device or the electronic key identification. Particularly preferably, step b is carried out without previously testing the access authorization related to the electronic identification (ID) of the locking device, the electronic key identification or the position. By preferably controlling the actuator to turn the bolt into a rotatable state in a way that is not related to the identification, key identification and position in the factory state, testing of the access authorization related to the key, locking device and position is prevented.

[0061] The specifications mentioned in step b preferably characterize the factory state of the locking device here. Thus, in the factory state, the locking device can preferably trigger a function test routine independently of the associated relationship with the locking system, the location area associated relationship, and / or the location associated relationship. Additionally or alternatively, in the factory state, the locking device can trigger a function test routine independently of the access authorization check depending on the identification, key identification, and / or location.

[0062] Preferably, in step b, the locking device is supplied to energize the actuator from the electrical energy storage of the key, where the key includes a key stem for insertion into the locking device and for transmitting electrical energy to the locking device. Preferably, in order to detect the key in step a, the key stem must be inserted into the locking device. Thereby, it is particularly feasible to connect the corresponding transmission device.

[0063] Preferably, it is proposed that in step c, the access authorization information includes location-specific access authorization information. Thus, the location-specific access authorization information is received. The location-specific authorization information here relates to a specific location and thus preferably to exactly one locking device. In contrast, in the factory state, the locking device preferably does not have location-specific access authorization information. Preferably, steps a and b are performed without previously electronically associating the locking device with a location.

[0064] Additionally or alternatively, it is proposed that in step c, the access authorization information includes location area-specific access authorization information. Thus, the location area-specific access authorization information that is valid especially for the entire location area is received. The location area-specific authorization information here relates to a specific location area - for example, a building part with multiple doors - and thus preferably to multiple locking devices. In contrast, in the factory state, the locking device preferably does not have location area-specific access authorization information. Preferably, steps a and b are performed without previously electronically associating the locking device with a location area.

[0065] Additionally or alternatively, it is proposed that in step c, the access authorization information includes locking system-specific access authorization information. Thus, the locking system-specific access authorization information that is valid especially for the entire locking system is received. Here, the locking system-specific access authorization information relates to the locking system as previously defined. Here, the locking-specific access authorization information relates to multiple locking devices. In contrast, in the factory state, the locking device preferably does not have locking system-specific access authorization information. Preferably, steps a and b are performed without electronically associating the locking device with the locking system.

[0066] The access authorization information can include at least one blacklist, encrypted information, especially an encryption key, and / or locking device operation data.

[0067] The blacklist includes a list of prohibited access authorizations, in particular prohibited key identifiers. Encrypted information, in particular an encryption key, is used to electronically decrypt electronic data received by the locking device. The encrypted information can thus also be referred to as cryptographic information, and / or the encryption key can also be referred to as a cryptographic key. The locking device operating data includes data regarding the operation of the locking device, such as the time period during which the actuator is energized to turn the bolt into a rotatable state and / or data regarding acoustically and / or visually displaying the state of the locking device. In particular in the case of an electromechanical coupling between the rotor and the bolt, the locking device operating data can include the time period until the actuator is actuated to return to the non-rotatable state.

[0068] Therefore, it is preferably proposed that the access authorization information includes a location-specific and / or location-area-specific and / or locking system-specific blacklist. For example, the blacklist includes prohibited authorizations prohibited for the entire locking system and prohibited authorizations prohibited only for said location. Thus, the blacklist is formed in a locking system-specific manner and in a location-specific manner. Preferably, the locking device is configured in steps a and b without a location-specific and / or location-area-specific and / or locking system-specific blacklist. Preferably, the locking device in the factory state is configured without a location-specific and / or location-area-specific and / or locking system-specific blacklist.

[0069] Additionally or alternatively, it is preferably proposed that the access authorization information includes location-specific and / or location-area-specific and / or locking system-specific encrypted information, in particular location-specific and / or location-area-specific and / or locking system-specific encryption keys. Preferably, the locking device is configured in steps a and b without location-specific and / or location-area-specific and / or locking system-specific encrypted information, in particular encryption keys. Preferably, the locking device in the factory state is configured without location-specific and / or location-area-specific and / or locking system-specific encrypted information, in particular encryption keys.

[0070] The encrypted information can consist of different information. For example, the encrypted information includes information specific to the entire locking system and information specific only to said location. Thus, the encrypted information can be location-specific and locking system-specific. By associating exactly one locking device with one location, the location-specific encrypted information can also be understood as encrypted information specific to the identification.

[0071] Additionally or alternatively, it is preferably proposed that the configuration data includes location-specific and / or location-area-specific and / or locking system-specific locking device operating data. Preferably, the locking device is configured in steps a and b without location-specific and / or location-area-specific and / or locking system-specific locking device operating data.

[0072] Preferably, it is proposed that before step c, a position-specific user input for defining a position is carried out by receiving a user input by means of a device, in particular a mobile device. Thus, method steps that are not carried out by the locking device can also be involved in the method according to the invention. More precisely, the method step of receiving a user input from the device is carried out.

[0073] Preferably, a position-specific user input is received after steps a and b. The locking device is in the factory state during the reception.

[0074] The device is preferably a mobile device, in particular a smartphone, a tablet computer or a laptop. Alternatively, the device can also be a terminal that is fastened in or on a building, for example fastened to a wall, and is used for space control and / or building control. Preferably, it is proposed that the device can establish a connection to the Internet and / or a telecommunication network. Preferably, the device can communicate with a computing unit via the Internet or a telecommunication network.

[0075] The computing unit can be located at any location. In particular, it is proposed that the device communicates with the computing unit wirelessly, in particular via the Internet or a telecommunication network. The computing unit can be, for example, a server. The server can also be provided virtually, in particular as a cloud service. In particular, a corresponding database is stored in the computing unit.

[0076] Preferably, the device has an input means; for example, a keyboard and / or a touch screen. The input means is particularly used to enable a user, in particular a fitter, to input a position into the device. Also preferably, the device has an output means; for example, a screen, in particular a touch screen and / or a loudspeaker. The device preferably includes an electronic device. The electronic device is particularly used to process user inputs and / or output messages on the output means.

[0077] As described, the device "receives" a position-specific user input, which also includes that the user input can be implemented by an external input device, for example a keyboard wirelessly connected to the device. However, it is particularly preferably proposed that the position-specific user input is carried out at the device, that is, the input means is directly at the device, for example at the touch screen or the keyboard of the device. In particular, the fitter manually inputs at the input means, in particular at the touch screen. Thus, in one example, the position-specific user input is achieved by the input of a user, in particular a fitter, at the touch screen of a smartphone or a tablet computer.

[0078] A location-specific user input, in particular, represents a user input or selection of a location such that information about the location thereby exists in the device, hereinafter referred to as location information. Examples of user inputs of locations are "Hotel room 308", "Office 416", "Switchgear cabinet on Luisenstraβe", "Building in basement level 1", "Front house door at Amalienstraβe 13", or also an input on a two-dimensional or three-dimensional location overview map.

[0079] Particularly preferably, the user input is made while the user, in particular the installer, is on-site, i.e., at the location defined here. In particular, it is proposed that the reception of the location-specific user input at the device takes place only when the installer is on-site with the locking device to be installed. Here, the installer does not have to stand directly in front of the closing element into which the locking device is inserted; this is not the case, in particular, when the location is in an ex-protected area or when it is not possible to move a radio reception directly at the location.

[0080] It is possible that the key is configured to communicate wirelessly with the device. Here, the wireless communication with the device takes place in particular via an active, wireless transmission of the key. In particular, near-field communication is used, for example via Bluetooth or Ultra-Wideband (UWB). The key preferably includes an electronic device. The electronic device can be used to perform the communication.

[0081] Preferably, it is proposed that after establishing communication between the key and the device, the key identifier is sent from the key to the device. The device preferably further sends the key identifier to the computing unit. Thereby, in the computing unit, for example, it can be checked which usage rights the key has and / or which usage rights can be assigned to the key. In addition, the device can thus specifically send other data only to this one key.

[0082] The method step of defining the location where the locking device is installed by a user input at the device is used for the preparation step c. By means of the location information of the installed locking device, it is possible for the locking device to receive location-specific access authorization information. If the location has been associated, for example, in the computing unit and / or the device with a location area and / or a locking system, it is possible, by means of the location information, to receive location-area-specific and / or locking-area-specific access authorization information in step c. Thus, within the scope of the commissioning method, it is simply possible for the installer to select any locking device in the factory state only when on-site and then switch to the configuration state.

[0083] In addition to or alternatively to determining the position, the selection of the locking system of the locking system can be achieved by receiving a locking system user input from a device, in particular a mobile device, before step c. Thereby, the user, in particular the installer - in particular before a position-specific user input - can select the corresponding locking system. The selection of the locking system is preferably carried out manually. The user input is in particular achieved by an input mechanism. The installer can in particular select the locking system by a manual input at the input mechanism. For example, the user, in particular the installer, inputs the locking system at a touch screen. In particular, by defining the locking system via the user input at the device, locking system-specific access authorization information can be received from the locking device in step c.

[0084] Preferably, a locking system-specific user input is received after step a and step b. The locking device is in the factory state during the input.

[0085] Preferably, the position-specific user input and / or the locking system user input is achieved by selecting from a selection list and / or an overview diagram displayed on the screen of the device. Alternatively or additionally, it can be proposed that the position information is reset in the position-specific user input.

[0086] For the position-specific user input for defining the position, i.e., the input of the position information, in particular the following is proposed:

[0087] The position-specific user input can be carried out by selecting a position from a selection list. The selection list is preferably displayed on the screen of the device. The selection list is in particular sent to the device by a computing unit. Alternatively, the device receives the selection list from the computing unit. The user, in particular the installer, can select a suitable position at the device, in particular during the on-site presence of the user, in particular the installer, at the device for commissioning.

[0088] Additionally or alternatively, it is proposed that the position-specific user input is preferably achieved or supplemented by a free text input. The free text input is in particular carried out at the device. Thereby, the position information can be reset.

[0089] Furthermore, the position-specific user input can also be carried out or completed by selecting on a position overview diagram. Preferably, the position overview diagram is sent to the device by a computing unit. Alternatively, the device receives the position overview diagram from the computing unit.

[0090] In particular, the selection is made on an overview map of the positions on the device. The overview map of positions can for example be an overview map of the space, which correspondingly graphically shows the positions of the spaces within a building, such that for example a position is selected by clicking on a specific space or a specific door, thereby making a position-specific user input. In a very similar manner, the overview map of positions can be an overview map of the building on which the fitter selects the specific building in which the locking device is installed. Additionally, the overview map of positions can also show different positions on a map, for example in the form of buildings or switchgear cabinets that are arranged at a distance from each other.

[0091] It is conceivable that the user, in particular the fitter, resets the position information. That is to say, before the generated position information is saved in the computing unit, the fitter generates the position information by means of a user input. Thereby, positions that are considered as the installation positions of the locking devices can be taken into account, which positions themselves are not saved in the computing unit. Thus, the user creates position information. This can in particular be envisaged by means of a free text input or by a selection on the overview map of positions.

[0092] A single position-specific user input can also be made by means of a combination of several different or identical methods described above. For example, a position can first be selected from a selection list and supplemented by means of a text input. In a similar manner, for example, a building can first be selected in the overview map of positions and then the specific position can be defined in a more detailed overview map of positions or via a free text input or via a selection list.

[0093] Preferably, the locking system is selected from a preset selection list. Preferably, the user, in particular the fitter, can set the locking system on site without resetting it. It is preferably proposed that the selection of the locking system is taken into account jointly in the position-specific user input. For this purpose, the device can electronically store the possible positions belonging to the locking system for at least one locking system.

[0094] The position-specific user input for defining a position is preferably first achieved by selecting the locking system and then selecting a position within the locking system. For this purpose, in particular a selection list is provided that only shows the positions of the selected locking system. Additionally or alternatively, after the selection of the locking system, a free text input of the position can be made. In particular, it is also possible within the locking system to set new position information. It is also possible that after the selection of the locking system, a subsequent selection of a position is made on the overview map of the positions of the locking system. The overview map of the positions has been described above. It can preferably be proposed that only the positions of the respective locking system are shown on the overview map of the positions.

[0095] In the preparation of step c, the computing unit and / or the device can, for example, infer the location area based on the location information, in which location area the location where the locking device is installed is located on the location overview map. Alternatively, as already mentioned, before the user input, the possible locations are associated with the location areas in the computing unit and / or the device.

[0096] After receiving a location-specific user input via the device, an identifier (ID) is preferably associated with the defined location to form an ID-location association. The ID-location association can, for example, be a data set in such a way that the appropriate location is recorded relative to the ID. However, if, for example, the ID and the location are stored in different tables and only the association between the ID and the location is stored, this is also considered an "ID-location association". It is particularly preferably proposed that this association is realized for the first time, which means that the specific identifier of the locking device is associated with the location for the first time. Alternatively, this association can be carried out after pre-deleting the existing ID-location association. On the contrary, as long as there is an association for the existing ID, the association is preferably not feasible.

[0097] After selecting the locking system, the selected locking system is preferably associated with the identifier of the locking device to form an ID-locking system association.

[0098] Preferably, the ID-location association and / or the ID-locking system association are carried out in the device. For this purpose, the locking device can send the identifier to the device via the key in particular.

[0099] Particularly preferably, the key is inserted into the locking device with its key stem, and the locking device sends the identifier to the key. The key being inserted into the locking device can be a prerequisite for the locking device to send the identifier to the key. The key being inserted into the locking device can be a prerequisite for the key to receive the identifier from the locking device.

[0100] It is possible that the key is inserted into the locking device with its key stem, and the key forwards the identifier to the device. The key being inserted into the locking device can be a prerequisite for the key to send the identifier to the device. The key being inserted into the locking device can be a prerequisite for the device to receive the identifier from the key.

[0101] Preferably, the following method steps are proposed: Before step c, the identification (ID) is electronically sent to the computing unit by means of a locking device, in particular sent to the computing unit electronically via a key and / or a device. Herein, preferably, the identification of the locking device is indirectly sent to the device by means of the locking device. In particular, it is proposed here that the locking device first sends the identification, in particular non-wirelessly, to the key. The key then preferably forwards the identification of the locking device wirelessly to the device via near-field communication. The sending of the identification is used to establish or supplement a database in the computing unit. The sending of the identification is preferably carried out after the formation of the ID-location association relationship and / or the ID-locking system association relationship.

[0102] Preferably, it is proposed that, in particular before step c, the device sends the location information obtained by means of a location-specific user input and / or the locking system information obtained by means of a locking system user input to the computing unit. Preferably, the sending of the location information and / or the locking system information is carried out after the formation of the ID-location association relationship and / or the ID-locking system association relationship.

[0103] It can be proposed that the device receives, in particular, location-specific, location area-specific, and / or locking system-specific access authorization information from the computing unit. The access authorization information received by the device can be the same as or different from the access authorization information in step c. For example, the access authorization information received by the computing unit is modified in the device and / or the key. Receiving the access authorization information by the device is used to prepare for step c. The method steps are executed by the device. The method steps are particularly carried out after the method steps of sending location-specific and / or locking system-specific user inputs. In particular, the computing unit can send appropriate access authorization information to the device according to the location information and / or the locking system information.

[0104] Preferably, it is proposed that, in particular, location-specific, location area-specific, and / or locking system-specific access authorization information is sent from the key to the locking device. Therefore, the commissioning method can also include steps performed by the key. Herein, it relates to the access authorization information received by the locking device in step c.

[0105] In order to send the access authorization information, the key includes a key stem, and the key is inserted into the locking device with the key stem so as to send, in particular, location-specific, location area-specific, and / or locking system-specific access authorization information to the locking device.

[0106] It can be proposed that the key receives, in advance, in particular, location-specific, location area-specific, and / or locking system-specific access authorization information from the device. Particularly preferably, the access authorization information is sent from the computing unit to the device and from the device to the key.

[0107] Step c is then carried out, that is to say, the access authorization information is sent from the key to the locking device or received from the locking device. It can be provided that the key modifies the access authorization information, in particular encrypted information, between receiving the access authorization information by the key and sending the access authorization information to the locking device.

[0108] Preferably, it is provided that in step c, in particular location-specific and / or location-area-specific and / or locking-system-specific access authorization information is sent from the key to the locking device.

[0109] Here, it can be provided that the key in step a is the first key. The key for sending the access authorization information for step c can be the second key. Thus, at least two keys are used. Thereby, it is feasible that a first installer can only test the electromechanical functionality, so that steps a and b can be carried out by the locking device. For this purpose, the first installer in particular inserts the first key into the locking device. In addition, the first installer can set up for mounting the locking device on or in a closure element. As already described, the first installer can also carry out steps a and b for this purpose. Preferably, the first installer does not require user input into the device.

[0110] A second installer can be set up to allow step c to be carried out by the locking device. For this purpose, the installer preferably inserts the second key into the locking device. The second installer is in particular set up for user input into the device, in particular for defining the location and / or the locking system. Thereby, the method can be designed more effectively, since the first installer and the second installer each carry out different subtasks specific to them.

[0111] The first key and the second key can be mechanically constructed identically. Preferably, the first key and the second key include different authorizations. Thus, for example, the first installer can be completely unauthorized to allow step c to be carried out by the locking device and / or steps for preparing for carrying out step c. In particular, the first installer is not authorized to carry out user input into the device for defining the location and / or the locking system.

[0112] After step c, that is to say in the configured state, preferably only the actuator is actuated so that the detent pin is turned into a rotatable state when location-specific, location-area-specific and / or locking-system-specific access authorization is checked beforehand.

[0113] Preferably, it is provided that after step c, the method includes the following further steps carried out by the locking device and / or the key:

[0114] d. Denying access authorization for the key that sends the access authorization information to the locking device in order to check the function of the locking device in the configured state.

[0115] Preferably, the key is the second key. By subsequently denying access authorization, the installer, especially the second installer, can check whether the access authorization information has been received by the locking device in step c and is now also used to deny access authorization. Preferably, it relates to the same key that sends the access authorization information. Thus, the installer, especially the second installer, can check the successful commissioning with the same key and perform step c beforehand with the same key.

[0116] Here, for example, it is possible that the key itself performs the check. The access authorization may not be related to the key, especially not to the key identification, but to the authorization stored on the key, and the authorization can be checked, for example, by means of an identification.

[0117] Preferably, it is proposed that after the locking device has received the access authorization information, the access authorization is given to the key that sent the access authorization information to the locking device - that is, especially the second key mentioned above, so that the permission of the access authorization can be checked. Here, preferably, it relates to a one-time access authorization for the key, especially the second key. The permission of the access authorization includes the actuation of the actuator to turn the detent pin into a rotatable state.

[0118] Denying access authorization and / or giving access authorization can be routines that are automatically executed by the system as part of the commissioning method after step c.

[0119] Before step c, especially after step a, the method may include the following steps:

[0120] A configuration message for configuring the locking device is wirelessly sent from the device to the key. The configuration message contains the information or can be evaluated by the key so that the locking device is to be configured. Based on the configuration message, preferably, the key correspondingly actuates the locking device electronics so that the locking device electronics sends its identification to the key, and / or the locking device electronics performs step c. In particular, access authorization can then be denied and / or given.

[0121] The locking device used within the scope of the method preferably has a housing and an insert. The insert includes a stator and a rotor. The stator is preferably fastened to the housing in a form-fitting and / or force-fitting manner. The rotor is rotatably supported in the stator. By the two-piece construction of the stator and the housing, the stator can be inserted into different housings. Thus, especially when the housing proves to be unsuitable for installation or does not work, the housing can also be replaced on-site. This improves the effectiveness of commissioning.

[0122] The insert preferably includes locking device electronics and an actuator.

[0123] The previously locked rotor can be unlocked by means of an actuator, such that the rotor and the detent pin connected to the rotor can rotate. Additionally or alternatively, the rotor can be coupled to the detent pin by means of the actuator.

[0124] Preferably, the locking device has no mechanical coding. That is to say, the rotatability of the detent pin is only related to the electronic access authorization of the user. Thus, a plurality of locking devices include the same internal structure, such as a key channel, a key extraction obstacle, an electrical contact, a coupling element for the detent pin, etc. Correspondingly, the key can be configured without mechanical coding.

[0125] The invention also includes a system for commissioning on-site a locking device, in particular the above-mentioned locking device. The advantageous design solutions and dependent claims described within the scope of the method are correspondingly advantageously applied within the scope of the system.

[0126] The system includes an electromechanical locking device having locking device electronics, an actuator, and a detent pin. The locking device is particularly configured as described above. Additionally, the locking device is configured to execute the method steps according to the above-mentioned method, in particular steps a, b, and c. Here, the method steps described in connection with the locking device are particularly executed in the locking device.

[0127] The system also includes a key, in particular the described key. The key is particularly configured to execute the method steps according to the above-mentioned method, the method steps being described in connection with the key.

[0128] Preferably, the system includes a computer program product for execution, in particular for storage, on a device, in particular the above-mentioned device. The computer program product is configured to execute the method steps of the described method on the device. In particular, the method steps described above in connection with the device are thereby executed on the device.

[0129] The system can include a device and / or a computing unit. Description of the Drawings

[0130] The invention will now be described in detail based on embodiments. It is shown here:

[0137] Figure 7 Shows additional method steps of the method according to the invention according to the second embodiment. Detailed Description of the Invention

[0138] First, the structure of the system 2 for performing the method 1 will be described schematically below. Then, the method 1 will be described in more detail with reference to the schematic diagram in Figures 1 to 3 The system 2 is shown schematically. The system includes an electromechanical locking device 30, which is configured as a lock cylinder here. The locking device 30 is inserted into the closing element 210 at specific positions 201 - 208 (see Figures 4 to 7 ). At the positions 201 - 208 (see

[0139] Figure 1 ), different lock cylinders can be provided as components of the locking system 200. Figure 6 ) Different lock cylinders can be provided as components of the locking system 200. At positions 201 - 208 (see Figure 6 ), different lock cylinders can be provided as components of the locking system 200. Figure 6 Shows an overview diagram of the position of the locking system 200, which has different positions 201 - 208 implemented as different spaces. Each position 201 - 208 can be locked by the closing element 210, i.e., the door together with the lock. The corresponding locking device 30 is inserted into the closing element 210. The positions can be divided into different position areas: for example, positions 201 and 205 are common spaces that every user should be able to access, and the common spaces form the first position area, while only individual users are allowed to access positions 202 - 204, 206 - 208. Positions 202 - 204, 206 - 208 form the second position area.

[0140] In addition, Figure 1 Shows that the system 2 includes a key 20 and a device 10. In addition, the system 2 can also be associated with a computing unit 60. The computing unit 60 is especially a server, such as a virtual server in the cloud.

[0141] The device 10 is in particular a mobile device, as described in the overview section of the specification. The computing unit 60 and the mobile device 10 are configured for data communication, in particular wireless data communication. Here, the mobile device can communicate with the computing unit 60 via the Internet and / or a telecommunications network. In addition, the mobile device 10 can communicate with the key 20 via a wireless short-range connection, such as BLE or UWB, with a small range.

[0142] The key 20 has a key shank 21 for insertion into the locking device 30. In addition, the key 20 has a push button 22 for activating the communication connection between the key 20 and the device 10. A corresponding signal indicating the communication connection can be output by means of the lighting device 23 at the key 20. Additionally, the lighting device 23 can indicate when a method step has been carried out or not carried out. An electrical contact is formed at the key shank 21 as a transmission device 24 for transmitting data and electrical energy to and receiving data from the locking device 30. The locking device includes a corresponding transmission device 37. The key 20 includes an energy storage to supply electrical energy for itself and the locking device 30.

[0143] In addition Figure 1 It is shown that the locking device 30 has a housing 31. At the housing 31 there is a stator 32 into which a rotor 33 is inserted. The key shank 21 of the key 20 can be inserted into the rotor 33. During operation, i.e., in the configured state of the locking device 30, the rotor 33 can be rotated by rotating the key 20 only if there is an access authorization. Conversely, in the absence of an access authorization, the rotor 33 remains locked. The access authorization is checked by the key 20 and the locking device 30.

[0144] By rotating the rotor 33, i.e., when there is an access authorization, the bolt 36, which is configured as a locking lug in the present example, can be rotated. The bolt 36 is torsionally connected to the rotor 33 at least when the key 20 is inserted.

[0145] In addition, a locking device electronics 34 is provided. The locking device electronics controls the actuator 35 of the locking device 30 in the configured state in the presence of an access authorization. By corresponding control of the actuator 35, the locking device 30 can allow the rotor 33 to rotate. If the rotor 33 is allowed to rotate, the bolt 36 is in a rotatable state. If the rotation of the rotor 33 is prevented, the bolt 36 is in a non-rotatable state.

[0146] In order to transfer the rotor 33 and thus the detent pin 36 from a non-rotatable state to a rotatable state, the actuator 35 rotates the asymmetrical blocking element 39. By rotating the blocking element 39, the unlocking movement of the locking bar 38 can be permitted. The locking bar 38 can engage into the stator 32 to lock the rotation of the rotor 33. By the rotation of the blocking element 39 being permitted, the locking bar 38 can disengage from the stator 32.

[0147] The locking device 30 includes an electronic identification ID stored in the locking device electronics 34.

[0148] The key 20 is configured without mechanical coding. Thus, it can be determined solely based on the electronic access authorization whether the user has the authorization. The key 20 includes an electronic key identification.

[0149] Figure 4 Method steps are shown, where the method steps 80, 81, and 84 can be optionally implemented. Accordingly, within the scope of method 1, in order to commission the electromechanical locking device 30 at positions 201 - 208, the following can be carried out:

[0150] 80: Determine a suitable housing 31: The user 70 (also called the installer) can first select a suitable housing 31, namely in particular the housing 31 of the lock cylinder.

[0151] 81: Insert the stator 32 and the rotor 33: Subsequently, the stator 32 and the rotor 33 are installed as a common insert into the suitable housing 31 in particular.

[0152] 82: Insert the key 20: Preferably, the key 20 is inserted into the locking device 30 before the locking device 30 is installed into the closing element 210 (such as a lock). Subsequently, the locking device electronics 34 can detect the key, thereby performing step a according to the invention.

[0153] 83: Trigger the function test routine: The actuator 35 is controlled by the locking device electronics 34 such that the actuator permits the movement of the detent pin 36. This corresponds to step b according to the invention. Here, electrical energy is provided by the key 20 via the transmission device.

[0154] 84: Rotation: The installer 70 can rotate the detent pin 36 with the inserted key 20 in such a way that torque is transmitted from the key 20 via the key shank 21 to the rotor 33. Thereby, the mechanical function of the locking device 30 can be tested. If necessary, if required, the detent pin 36 can be rotated to the desired position such that the locking device 30 can be inserted into the closing element 210 and thus installed therein.

[0155] If the locking device 30 can be inserted into the closure element 201 without the pin 36 rotating, the fitter 70 can first install the locking device 30 and then check it (not shown) by means of steps 82 and 83.

[0156] During the execution of methods 80 to 84, the locking device 30 is in the factory state. In the factory state, the locking device electronics 34 can be used to control the actuator 35 to unlock the rotor 33 with any mechanically matching key 20. Due to the lack of mechanical coding, this applies to any key 20 whose transmission device 24 can come into contact with the transmission device 37 of the locking device. Optionally, the locking device 30 can check the generally valid access authorization information installed on any key 20 of this construction type at the factory side.

[0157] By means of the control device of the actuator that can be controlled on site, especially when installing or after installing the locking device 30, with any mechanically matching key 20, the fitter 70 can install the locking device 30 of the locking system 200 very effectively. Here, the fitter 70 only has to note that the fitter 70 installs the locking device 30 that is mechanically matching with the closure element 210.

[0158] In the factory state, the access authorization information available during operation for the locking system 200, the installed location area or the location is missing in the locking device 30. In other words, steps 82 and 83 are carried out without the system 1 knowing the locking system association relationship, the location area association relationship and the location association relationship of the locking device 30. The said association relationships are then determined only by the method steps shown in Figure 5 or Figure 7 . Therefore, the locking device 30 in the factory state is a "bulk product".

[0159] The missing access authorization information can relate to a blacklist and / or password encryption information, especially an encryption key.

[0160] Correspondingly, the access authorization check coordinated with the locking system 200, the location area or the location is missing in the factory state. Since the access authorization check is related to the identification ID and / or the key identification during operation, this access authorization check is missing in the factory state, and the identification ID and / or the key identification are included in the said access authorization check.

[0161] Optionally, the fitter for method steps 82, 83, 84, and possibly also method steps 80, 81, is the first fitter. The fitter can quickly and effectively carry out mechanical installation and functional inspection without using the device 10.

[0162] An access authorization can be assigned to the key 20. Thus, in other locking devices that have been configured, when the access authorization check is successful, the enclosed element can be unlocked with the same key 20.

[0163] Figure 5 According to the first embodiment, additional steps of the method 1 for commissioning the electromechanical locking device 30 at positions 201 - 208 are shown. Figure 5 For this purpose, method steps that are particularly associated with the fitter 70 or the computing unit 60 are shown schematically in the left column. Here, Figure 5 the fitter 70 can optionally correspond to a second fitter. The second fitter can use a key 20 that is different from that of the fitter, where the keys of the two fitters are mechanically constructed identically.

[0164] The second column shows method steps that are particularly associated with the device 10. The third column shows method steps that are particularly associated with the key 20. The fourth column shows method steps that are particularly associated with the locking device 30.

[0165] As set forth in the overview section of this specification, many of the method steps are optional and do not have to be compulsorily executed.

[0166] 101: Receive to start the program: In this method step, the device 10 receives a corresponding input from the fitter 70 such that a program, in particular a computer program product, starts on the device 10. This can also be understood as calling a program that has already started so as to set it on the operable interface of the device 10.

[0167] 102: Receive for user authentication: In this method step, the fitter 70 can be authenticated by the device 10 to determine whether they are authorized for further method steps. For this purpose, a direct input, such as a password, can be made at the device 10. However, receiving can also be understood as the device 10 detecting biometric data of the fitter 70, for example, to ensure authentication. Thus, a distinction can also be made between a first fitter who is not authorized for further method steps and a second fitter who has authorization for further method steps.

[0168] 103: Receive for wireless communication on the device side: In this method step, it can be considered that wireless communication between the device 10 and the key 20 and / or between the device 10 and the computing unit 60 only takes place when the fitter 70 confirms this by a corresponding input.

[0169] 104: Receive to start the program module "Commissioning the locking device": There can be modules in the program that are explicitly called to subsequently put a new locking device 30 into operation. User input is required for this.

[0170] 105: Output requirements for key button operations: In the method steps, the installer 70 can be required to press the button 22 at the key 20 by means of the device 10, for example, on the display screen of the display.

[0171] 106: Receive the key button operation at the key 20: In the method steps, the corresponding electronic device in the key 20 receives the information that the button 22 has been pressed.

[0172] 107: Check the charge state: Especially after receiving that the button 22 has been pressed in step 106, the charge state of the energy storage of the key 20 is checked in the key 20.

[0173] 108: Is the charge state too low - Yes / No? It is determined in the key 20 whether the charge state of the energy storage is too low, that is, whether it is below the limit value.

[0174] 109: Interrupt: If the charge state is too low, the method is interrupted. Here, in particular, a corresponding notification is made at the device 10, which informs the installer 70 that the charge state is too low.

[0175] 110: Send a configuration message: However, according to method step 108, if the charge state is not too low, the key 20 notifies the device 10 of this situation, and a configuration message is sent from the device 10 to the key 20. The content of the configuration message is that a new locking device 30 is to be configured.

[0176] 111: Output information about inserting the key: After optionally sending the configuration message according to method step 110, preferably a message is output at the device 10, which informs the installer 70 that the key 20 is now to be inserted into the locking device 30. For example, a corresponding output is made here at the display of the device 10.

[0177] Subsequently, the installer 70 inserts the key 20 into the locking device 30.

[0178] 112: Send the ID: Especially by inserting the key 20, the locking device electronic device 34 is awakened and the identification (ID) of the locking device 30 is sent to the key 20.

[0179] 113: Forward the ID: The key 20 is non - wirelessly connected to the locking device 30 and receives the identification in this way. Subsequently, the key 20 forwards the identification to the device 10 via the wireless communication connection with the device 10.

[0180] 114: Send the ID to the computing unit 60: The device 10 can now forward the identification received in method step 113 to the computing unit 60, where this is not compulsorily necessary.

[0181] 115: ID already associated - Yes / No? Information can be generated in the computing unit 60 as to whether the identification of the locking device 30 has already been associated with a location. The computing unit 60 sends the information to the device 10. In the device 10, method steps 116 or 117 are then carried out based on the information.

[0182] 116: Interruption: If it is found that the identification of the locking device 30 has already been associated with a location, the method is interrupted in particular. Preferably, the installer 70 is informed of this by a corresponding output at the device 10.

[0183] 117: Locking system selection: In the next step, a locking system selection can be carried out at the device 10, in which - as detailed in the overview section of the specification - the installer 70 selects the locking system 200. For this purpose, the installer 70 makes a locking system user input 72 at the device 10.

[0184] 118: Receive location-specific user input 71: In the next step, the installer 70 makes a location-specific user input 71 at the device 10 such that the device 10 can receive the location-specific user input 71. In particular, the location-specific user input 71 is made directly at the device 10. The detailed design of the location-specific user input 71 is elaborated in detail in the overview section of the specification and correspondingly applies to the embodiments.

[0185] 119: Association: In this method step, the device 10 uses the identification of the locking device 30 forwarded according to method step 113. In the association, the device 10 forms an ID-location association relationship; that is, the relationship between the identification and the defined locations 201 - 208.

[0186] In addition, during the association 119, by generating an ID-locking system association relationship, a connection between the defined locking system 200 and the defined locations 201 - 208 can also be made. Preferably, an ID-location-locking system association relationship is generated.

[0187] 120: Send association: In this method step, the device 10 can send the ID-location association relationship to the computing unit 60. Optionally, the ID-locking system association relationship is also sent to the computing unit 60 here or the ID-location-locking system association relationship is sent.

[0188] 121: Receiving access authorization information at device 10: In the method step, the computing unit 60 sends the access authorization information to device 20, as described in the overview section of the specification. Here, the access authorization information is particularly based on a location association relationship, particularly an ID-location association relationship and / or a locking system association relationship, particularly an ID-locking system association relationship. Thus, the access authorization information is location-specific or locking system-specific. If the computing unit 60 knows the location and the location is associated with a location area, or the computing unit 60 can derive the associated location area from the location information, the access authorization information can be location area-specific. The access authorization information can include a blacklist and / or encrypted information, particularly an encryption key. The arrow between method steps 120 and 121 shows the chronological order of the steps in device 10, i.e., device 10 first sends the association in step 120 and then receives the access authorization information in step 121.

[0189] 122: Sending the access authorization information to the key 20: Once device 10 has obtained the access authorization information in method step 121, the device can send the access authorization information particularly wirelessly to the key 20 according to method step 122.

[0190] 123: Forwarding the access authorization information by the key 20: The key 20 obtains the access authorization information from device 10 and forwards the access authorization information particularly during the insertion of the key 20 to the locking device 30. Here, the key 20 modifies the received encrypted information.

[0191] 124: Receiving the access authorization information, particularly for the first time, at the locking device 30. This corresponds to step c of the method according to the invention. The access authorization information forwarded by the key 20 is received in the locking device 30, particularly in the locking device electronics 34, according to method step 124. Thereby, in the locking device 30, it is at least partially defined which signals the key 20 must or is not allowed to send to the locking device electronics 34 so that the actuator 35 can be controlled and the rotor 33 can be rotated by means of the key 20.

[0192] In addition to the access authorization information, other configuration data, such as locking device operating data, can also be received and forwarded together with the access authorization information in steps 121 to 123.

[0193] 125: Sending an acknowledgment: After receiving the authorization information according to method step 124, the locking device 30 can send an acknowledgment to device 10 particularly via the key 20, which states that the access authorization information has been obtained correspondingly. This is done via the key 20 (not shown).

[0194] After step 125, the following steps may optionally and not shown be carried out subsequently: The key identification and identity of the key 20 for configuration are known by the computing unit 60, and a one-time access authorization is assigned to the key 20. The system 200 performs an access authorization check and signals the access authorization. The installer can check this, for example, by turning a detent. Additionally or alternatively, especially subsequently, a renewed access authorization check is carried out automatically or after a user input on the device 10, where the system 200 obtains a result of denying access to the key 20. This is visually and / or audibly displayed at the device 10 and / or the key 20.

[0195] Figure 7 According to a second embodiment, further steps of a method 1 for commissioning an electromechanical locking device 30 at positions 201 - 208 are shown. The method 1 according to the invention and the system 2 of the two embodiments are - apart from the differences described below - the same:

[0196] 101 and 102: As Figure 5 in.

[0197] 117: According to Figure 7 , a locking system selection has been carried out after step 102: Here, a locking system selection can be carried out at the device 10, in which - as detailed in the overview section of the specification - the installer 70 selects the locking system 200. For this purpose, the installer 70 makes a locking system user input 72 at the device 10.

[0198] 103 and 104: After step 117, the optional steps 103 and 104 can be followed, as described in connection with Figure 5 .

[0199] 111: Subsequently, step 111 is carried out. Step 111 in the said embodiment only describes the insertion of the key 20 into the locking device 30. The key 20 is configured such that it is awakened by insertion. Thereby, in the second embodiment according to Figure 7 , steps 104 and 105 can be dispensed with, such that no key operation at the key 20 is required.

[0200] 112: Sending the ID: In particular, the locking device electronics 34 is awakened by inserting the key 20 and the identity (ID) of the locking device 30 is sent to the key 20.

[0201] 113 together with 107: Forwarding the ID: The key 20 is non - wirelessly connected to the locking device 30 and receives the identity in this way. Subsequently, the key 20 forwards the identity to the device 10 via a wireless communication connection with the device 10.

[0202] During this process, the state of charge of the energy storage device of the key 20 can also be checked according to step 107. If the state of charge is too low, the method is interrupted. Here, in particular, a corresponding notification is made at the device 10, which informs the fitter 70 that the state of charge is too low.

[0203] 114 to 116: As Figure 5 in that way.
