AI Technical Summary
Current safes automatically unlock at any time when an outsider enters the correct password, failing to meet the requirement that safes can only be unlocked within a specific time period, thus posing a security risk.
A time lock was designed, comprising a locking component, a motor, a controller, a communication device, and a timer. The communication device receives an unlocking time interval set by an external device. The controller allows unlocking only when the password is correct within the specified time interval; otherwise, the lock remains in the locked state.
Ensuring that the safe can only be unlocked within a limited time frame and with the correct password enhances its security.
