[0002] With the rapid development of Internet of Things technology, intelligent locks are increasingly widely used in daily life and industrial production. Traditional mechanical locks rely on physical keys, which have problems such as easy loss, easy duplication, and inconvenient management. Although existing intelligent locks have solved these problems to some extent, there is still room for improvement in terms of flexibility of operation mode, emergency handling capability, and security.

[0003] Some intelligent locks only support a single registration and use mode, and users must complete a cumbersome registration process to use them, which greatly inconveniences temporary visitors or use in emergency situations. Some other intelligent locks support registration-free use, but have deficiencies in permission management and security, making it difficult to meet the use requirements in different scenarios. At the same time, in the event of a malfunction of the intelligent lock or the inability of the APP to function normally, there is a lack of effective emergency unlocking and control means, which may prevent users from using the lock normally and cause unnecessary trouble and loss.

[0004] Therefore, developing a passive lock system with dual-mode operation, flexible permission management, and reliable emergency control functions has become an important research direction in the field of intelligent locks. SUMMARY

[0101] After the user installs the passive lock control APP on the mobile phone, opens the APP, and establishes a connection with the passive lock of the locker through Bluetooth (step T11). At this time, the passive lock is in registration-free public mode, and the user can directly send an encrypted unlocking instruction to open the locker (step T12), and after storing the items, send a lock closing instruction to close the locker.

[0102] When the self-service room manager needs to manage a specific locker, he switches it to the private mode by APP (step T13), and his phone becomes the first master mode terminal. When a student needs to use the locker temporarily, the manager generates a temporary password by APP and pushes it to the student's phone. The student's phone connects with the passive lock and becomes the first guest mode terminal, and inputs the password to get the temporary unlocking permission.

[0103] The manager can add the locker to be managed by scanning the code by APP (step T14), and can query the local unlocking record of the locker to understand the usage. If the locker fails, the manager can trigger the factory reset operation to reset the locker.

[0104] II. Implementation case of registered use mode: a company's file cabinet uses passive lock and supports registered use mode.

[0105] The employee installs the passive lock control APP on his phone, obtains the verification information from the background server by mobile phone, completes registration and logs in to the APP (step T21). Open the APP, connect with the passive lock of the file cabinet through NFC, send the encrypted unlocking instruction to open the file cabinet (step T22), and send the lock instruction after taking or placing the file.

[0106] The file cabinet is in the registered public mode by default, and all registered employees can use it. When the department manager needs to manage the important file cabinet, he switches it to the registered private mode by APP (step T23), and the manager's phone becomes the second master mode terminal. When other department employees need to check the file, the manager generates an encrypted temporary password and pushes it to the employee. The employee registers and logs in to the APP, connects with the passive lock, and inputs the password to get the temporary unlocking permission.

[0107] The manager adds the file cabinet by scanning the code by APP (step T24), can dissociate with the employee who has left the company, remove the full data of the file cabinet, query the unlocking record, and trigger the factory reset operation when necessary.

[0108] III. Implementation case of emergency operation mode of electronic key: a family's door uses passive lock and is equipped with an electronic key as an emergency tool.

[0109] One day, the owner's phone is lost and he cannot open the door by APP, so he uses the electronic key. The electronic key connects with the passive lock through near field communication (step T31), and sends the forced unlocking instruction containing the lock ID, timestamp and encrypted signature. The electronic control system 14 of the passive lock verifies the correctness of the instruction, and executes the unlocking operation (step T32), so that the owner can enter the house.

[0110] For safety, the master performs a delete binding operation on the electronic key (step T33), clears the local binding data of the lock and the associated data in the background server, and restores the lock to the "unbound" state, and then re-performs the binding setting.

[0111] Four, the case of the system parts working together: when the user generates an encrypted temporary password in the registration private mode through the APP of the terminal device, the APP generates an encrypted fingerprint value based on the fingerprint of the user terminal device and the fingerprint of the passive lock body 1, and sends it to the background server (terminal device and background server work together). The background server returns it to the APP after encryption processing (background server works). The user pushes the password to the third party, and the terminal device of the third party establishes a connection with the passive lock, inputs the password, and the control module of the passive lock verifies the legality of the password (passive lock body 1 works). After verification, it allows the lock to be opened. At the same time, the background server records the log of this unlocking operation (background server works).

[0112] When the electronic key forcibly opens the lock, the electronic key sends an instruction, the near field communication module of the passive lock receives the instruction and transmits it to the control module, the control module verifies the instruction (passive lock body 1 works), and controls the lock to be opened after verification. At the same time, the security chip of the electronic key ensures the safety of the instruction (electronic key works).

[0113] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, not any limitation on the present application, any simple modification, change and equivalent structure change according to the technical essence of the application to the above embodiment are still within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present application.
