[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 This embodiment provides an electronic key system and an electronic key, including an electronic lock body 1 and an electronic key body 2. The electronic lock body 1 is provided with a password input device 12 and a lock body fingerprint reader 11, and the electronic key body 2 is provided with a key fingerprint reader 21.

[0026] A USB plug 24 and a mechanical key 25 are slidably connected inside the electronic key body 2 along the height direction of the electronic key body 2. The electronic key body 2 is provided with a moving component 20 for moving the USB plug 24 and the mechanical key 25.

[0027] The electronic key body 2 is provided with a first slide groove 22, in which a first slider 27 is slidably connected. The electronic key body 2 is provided with a second slide groove 221, in which a second slider 271 is slidably connected.

[0028] The movable component 20 includes a first fixing block 241 for fixing the USB plug 24. The first fixing block 241 is fixedly connected to the first slider 27, and a first connecting block 23 is fixedly connected to the first slider 27.

[0029] A second fixing block 251 is fixedly connected to the mechanical key 25, and the second fixing block 251 is fixedly connected to the second slider 271. A second connecting block 231 is fixedly connected to the second slider 271.

[0030] The electronic key body 2 is equipped with an information storage device 26 for storing fingerprint information.

[0031] The information storage device 26 is equipped with Bluetooth for storing fingerprints and sensing whether the electronic lock body 1 is close to the fingerprint.

[0032] The electronic lock body 1 is equipped with a handle 13, and the handle 13 is provided with a keyhole 14 for inserting the mechanical key 25.

[0033] The following section provides further details based on specific usage scenarios:

[0034] The electronic lock body 1 can be connected to a mobile phone via Bluetooth, and dynamic passwords can be sent through software.

[0035] Before use, the electronic lock body 1 needs to be woken up by the electronic key body 2 to unlock it with fingerprint or mechanical key. If the electronic key body 2 is not carried, the password input device 12 needs to be clicked and the dynamic password displayed on the mobile phone needs to be entered through the connection.

[0036] When the person who entered the information unlocks the door:

[0037] Since the fingerprints have been recorded in the lock body fingerprint reader 11 and the key fingerprint reader 21, and both the electronic lock body 1 and the information storage unit 26 are equipped with Bluetooth, they can be directly connected to sense proximity.

[0038] Therefore, when the electronic lock body 1 is around, the electronic lock body 1 can be activated by placing the registered finger close to the key fingerprint reader 21.

[0039] The mechanical key 25 can be pushed to unlock the door via the second slider 271.

[0040] You can unlock the lock by placing your registered finger directly on the fingerprint reader 11 on the lock body.

[0041] The user-set password can also be entered through the password input device 12.

[0042] Example 2:

[0043] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 5 As one specific implementation of this application:

[0044] The movable component 20 includes a first fixing block 241 for fixing the USB plug 24. The first fixing block 241 is fixedly connected to the first slider 27, and a first connecting block 23 is fixedly connected to the first slider 27.

[0045] When a person authorized by the user but not registered in the database attempts to unlock the door:

[0046] When a user needs someone else to unlock the door, the person to be authorized must press their fingerprint on the key fingerprint reader 21 for ten seconds. At this time, the fingerprint will be transmitted to the software, and the user can decide how many times the door can be unlocked.

[0047] After authorization, the authorizing user can push out the USB plug through the first connecting block 23 and insert it into the electronic lock body 1 to register a temporary fingerprint into the electronic lock body 1. After the registration is completed, the electronic lock body 1 is awakened and emits a prompt sound to indicate that the temporary fingerprint has been registered.

[0048] At this time, the authorized person can unlock the lock by pushing the mechanical key 25 through the second slider 271, or by directly placing the registered finger on the fingerprint reader 11 on the lock body.

[0049] Example 3:

[0050] Reference Figures 1-5 As one specific implementation of the embodiments of this application,

[0051] When an unauthorized person unlocks the door:

[0052] When a person who is not registered touches the key fingerprint reader 21 while close to the electronic lock body 1, their fingerprint will be recorded by the fingerprint reader 21 and saved.

[0053] At this time, if a person who is not registered inserts the mechanical key 25 into the keyhole 14 of the electronic lock body 1 or inserts the USB plug 24 into the electronic lock body 1, the alarm of the electronic lock body 1 will be triggered, and the mechanical key 25 will be clamped in the keyhole 14 to prevent the person who is not registered from taking away the electronic key body 2.

[0054] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
