[0001] Title: Procedure for commissioning an electro-mechanical locking device

[0002] Description

[0003] The invention relates to a method for commissioning an electromechanical locking device at a location. Furthermore, the invention provides a system for commissioning the locking device at a location, with which the method can be implemented.

[0004] EP1914368 A2, a prior art document, discloses that a locking device controls an electromechanical actuator via locking device electronics. This actuator serves to convert a rotor into a rotatable state.

[0005] From other prior art, for example, EP 1 899 924 B1, keys are known that can be inserted into electromechanical locking devices and exchange data with the locking device. If the data exchange results in authorization, the key can be turned in the locking device.

[0006] First, however, the electromechanical device must be commissioned. Typically, the locking device is first assigned the appropriate authorization during commissioning. The locking device is then brought to the installation location and inserted into a door lock.

[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for commissioning an electromechanical locking device at a location that can be implemented as efficiently and / or safely as possible. Furthermore, the object of the present invention is to provide a corresponding system for implementing the method.

[0008] The problem is solved by the features of the independent claims. The dependent claims relate to preferred embodiments of the invention. Features and details described in connection with the method according to the invention also apply in connection with the system according to the invention, and vice versa. In particular, a method that can be carried out with a system according to claim 10 and / or a system with which a method according to one of claims 1 to 9 can be carried out is protected.

[0009] The invention discloses a method for commissioning an electromechanical locking device at a location. The electromechanical locking device is preferably a motor lock, in particular a motorized mortise lock, an electromechanical fitting, an electromechanical locking cylinder, in particular a double or half cylinder, a furniture cylinder, a padlock, or a similar device. The electromechanical locking device, designed as a locking cylinder, can be inserted into a door as a possible locking element. The padlock can be arranged, for example, on a door. The locking device can be arranged on or in various locking elements, e.g., on or in doors, gates, drawers, or barriers.

[0010] The "location" makes it possible to identify, particularly uniquely, the location of the locking device. Preferably, according to the method described below, several electromechanical locking devices are activated, and the location is so specific that it applies only to one of the activated locking devices and not to several. The multiple locking devices can be designed differently, for example, some as double cylinders, some as padlocks, or as double cylinders with different lengths.

[0011] The location can, for example, be a building and / or a cabinet, such as a switchboard, and / or a specific room within a building and / or a specific door. Furthermore, the location can also be outside a building, for example, when using the locking device on a door or gate, a fence, or a wall. Examples of a location are "Hotel Room 308," "Office 416," "Switchboard Luisenstraße," "Basement Building No. 1," and "front door of Amalienstraße 13."

[0012] The locking device comprises locking device electronics. The locking device electronics preferably comprises a processor, for example a microprocessor, and / or an electronic data memory.

[0013] The locking device preferably comprises an electromechanical actuator. The actuator can be designed, for example, as a solenoid or an electric motor. The actuator can be controlled, for example, by the locking device's electronics to unlock the closure element.

[0014] The locking device can comprise a driver. The driver is preferably rotationally asymmetrical and, in the rotatable state, enables unlocking or locking of the closure element, in particular a door, upon rotation. The electromechanical actuator is preferably controlled by the locking device electronics of the locking device to convert the driver from a non-rotatable to a rotatable state.

[0015] If the locking device is designed as a locking cylinder, for example, and is inserted into a corresponding lock, the driver can move the latch or bolt in the lock. For example, the driver can correspond to the locking lug of a locking cylinder. In another example, the driver can include recesses into which locking elements can slide to unlock the shackle of a padlock. In another case, the driver can correspond to a square with which a lock nut can be turned.

[0016] It can be provided that the electro-mechanical actuator, when appropriately controlled by the locking device electronics, enables the driver to be transferred into the rotatable state. This can be done, for example, by unlocking or coupling. For example, the locking device can comprise a housing in which a rotor is rotatably mounted, at least indirectly. The previously locked rotor can be unlocked by means of the actuator, so that the rotor and the driver connected to the rotor can rotate. Additionally or alternatively, the rotor can be coupled to the driver by means of the actuator, allowing the driver to rotate with the rotor. The uncoupled and / or locked state of the driver is referred to as the non-rotatable state. The coupled and / or unlocked state of the driver is referred to as the rotatable state.

[0017] During operation of the locking device, this occurs in particular depending on whether an access authorization check in the system could be successfully completed, e.g., whether the access authorization information stored in the locking device matches the corresponding access authorization information that a user carries with them.

[0018] Preferably, a unique electronic identifier is assigned to the locking device, and this identifier is stored in the locking device, preferably in the locking device electronics, in particular on a microchip. The identifier is, for example, a character string stored in the locking device. It can be provided that the locking device can interact with a key.

[0019] The key may contain a unique electronic key identifier, which is stored in the key's electronics.

[0020] The method comprises at least the following step, which is carried out by the locking device:

[0021] Receiving configuration data, wherein the configuration data comprises at least one access authorization information.

[0022] It can be provided that the configuration data corresponds to the access authorization information.

[0023] Because the configuration data is preferably received only after delivery from the factory, at the installation site, it is possible for the configuration data to be tailored to the location, for example. The inventive design allows the installer, in particular, to transport and / or install locking devices at different locations without having to pay attention to access authorization information.

[0024] Optionally, the method may include the following step performed by the locking device:

[0025] Initiating a functional test routine, whereby the actuator is electrically controlled to transfer the driver from the non-rotatable to the rotatable state. Therefore, part of the commissioning process includes checking the functionality of the actuator and its control.

[0026] Optionally, the method may include the following step performed by the locking device:

[0027] Detecting an electronic key.

[0028] Preferably, the function check routine is triggered after the key is detected. Preferably, the function check routine is performed before the configuration data is received. The locking device may be in a factory default state before the configuration data is received.

[0029] It is possible that the locking device is in a factory state when the key is detected and / or the function check routine is triggered.

[0030] Preferably, by receiving the configuration data, the locking device is transferred from the factory state to a configured state.

[0031] The key can preferably be detected by the locking device electronics. Detection can occur when the locking device receives electrical energy from the key. Additionally or alternatively, the locking device electronics can receive electronic data from the key.

[0032] The functional test routine can preferably be triggered by the locking device electronics.

[0033] Following the triggering of the functional test routine, the driver is rotated, particularly using the key. This is typically performed manually by an installer. This provides the installer with assurance that the locking device can be operated electromechanically correctly.

[0034] Preferably, the locking device is in a factory state during the detection of the key and / or the triggering of the functional test routine. In the factory state, at least some configuration data, preferably all configuration data, is missing that are intended during operation to prevent access by unauthorized persons. Thus, the transition from the factory state to the configured state stores electronic configuration data in the locking device, preventing access by unauthorized persons.

[0035] In this case, access is prevented, for example, when the locking device receives an opening command, e.g., from a key, but cannot decrypt this opening command. For example, the key has previously verified access authorization, e.g., using the identifier. Access is prevented, for example, additionally or alternatively, when the locking device checks access authorization against a list of blocked authorizations, the so-called blacklist, e.g., using the key identifier.

[0036] The received access authorization information is preferably information that limits the activation of the actuator to transfer the driver from the non-rotatable to the rotatable state. This reduces, for example, the number of keys required to activate the actuator to transfer the driver from the non-rotatable to the rotatable state.

[0037] Thus, it can be provided that an installer can first check the electromechanical function of the locking device by triggering the function test routine, before the configuration data makes it difficult or impossible for the installer to check the electromechanical function of the locking device after receiving the configuration data. Because the installer initially has the locking device in its factory state, it is easy to check the electromechanical function of the locking device. This may mean, for example, that the installer does not need to have different keys with different access authorizations on hand to test different locking devices for their electromechanical function one after the other. Instead, one key is sufficient. This increases the efficiency of the commissioning process.If a locking device is not sufficiently functional electro-mechanically, it can be replaced without having to transfer access authorization information from the non-functional locking device to the functional locking device.

[0038] Preferably, the access authorization information is received for the first time by the locking device in the essential step of receiving the configuration data. This therefore does not constitute an update of the access authorization information.

[0039] Preferably, the locking device can be rotated with any key in its factory state. In particular, it is intended that the arbitrary key contains no access authorization or a very general access authorization or very general access authorization information that is accepted by the locking device. An arbitrary key is understood to mean a key that is compatible with a variety of locking devices that have the same internal mechanical structure. Thus, the keys can be structurally compatible with the locking element. For example, these keys can be geometrically insertable and removable into the locking channel, have suitable electrical contacts for electrically contacting the corresponding contacts of the locking device, or the like.Because the driver can be rotated, preferably using any key, before the configuration data is received, it is possible to first effectively test the electromechanical functioning of the locking device. The locking device is preferably installed at the location in its factory state. This means that the mechanical assembly of the locking device can take place before the configuration data is received. This means that assembly takes place before the configuration data restricts or prevents access for the installer. Particularly preferably, the function test routine is triggered at least partially after the locking device has been installed in or on a locking element, in particular a door. This allows the installer not only to test the locking device electromechanically, but also to determine whether the locking element can be properly unlocked when the driver is installed, e.g.whether the door can be unlocked with the lock with little friction by turning the driver.

[0040] Additionally or alternatively, the functional test routine is triggered at least partially to install the locking device on a locking element. In particular, it can be provided that the driver, in particular the locking lug, is rotated into a position in which the locking device can be inserted into the locking element. Alternatively, the shackle of a padlock is unlocked to attach the padlock to the locking element. This allows a necessary assembly step to be used simultaneously to check the electromechanical functionality of the locking device.

[0041] It is also conceivable to trigger the functional test routine during and after assembly.

[0042] Preferably, the functional test routine is triggered independently of a locking system assignment of the locking device.

[0043] In the configured state, the locking device is assigned to a locking system.

[0044] The locking system contains several locking devices, which are activated in particular according to the procedure described here. In addition, the locking system provides for a specific access authorization concept. For example, several authorized users can be assigned to the locking system, with each authorized user being assigned one or more of the locking devices as authorized access. The authorized users can be divided into authorization groups. For example, the locking system can relate to an apartment building. One authorization group can be intended for the caretaker, who is authorized to close all locking devices; with the exception of the locking devices on the individual apartments. Another authorization group can be intended for the apartment owners, who are authorized to close the locking devices on the front door and their own apartment, for example.

[0045] It may be provided that the locking devices of a locking system belong to an owner.

[0046] Preferably, a locking system is additionally or alternatively characterized in that the locking system comprises at least one list of blocked locking authorizations, referred to as a blacklist. The blocked 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 are distinguished by their own blacklists.

[0047] The locking system can additionally or alternatively be characterized by the fact that the locking system contains its own encryption information, e.g., its own encryption key and / or its own encryption algorithm. The encryption information can also be referred to as cryptographic information and / or the encryption key as a cryptographic key. Thus, different locking systems are primarily differentiated by the encryption information.

[0048] Because the function test routine is triggered independently of the locking system assignment, an installer can, for example, test locking devices of different locking systems for their electromechanical functionality one after the other using a single key. In particular, the installer can install locking devices of different locking systems one after the other at different locations using a single key, whereby the installer must, in particular, rotate the driver for installation.

[0049] Preferably, the functional check routine is triggered independently of the location area assignment of the locking device. A location area—for example, a part of a building with multiple doors—thus preferably refers to multiple locking devices, wherein the locking devices are arranged in the location area. The locking devices of a location area are preferably part of a single locking system. The locking system can comprise locking devices of multiple location areas. For example, the locking system comprises the locking devices of a building, and the location areas each comprise one floor of the building. The location area preferably comprises multiple locations where locking devices are installed.

[0050] Because the functional test routine is triggered independently of the location area assignment, an installer can, for example, test locking devices in different locations for their electromechanical functionality using a single key. In particular, the installer can install locking devices in different locations one after the other using a single key. The installer must, in particular, rotate the driver for installation.

[0051] Preferably, the functional test routine is triggered independently of the locking device's location. Preferably, exactly one locking device is assigned to a location. Because the functional test routine is performed independently of the location, an installer can, for example, test several locking devices for their electromechanical functionality using only one key. In particular, the installer can install locking devices in different locations one after the other using only one key, whereby the installer must, in particular, rotate the driver for installation.

[0052] The key preferably comprises a key shaft. The key shaft can be inserted into the locking device, preferably into a locking channel of the locking device. The key and key shaft are preferably designed such that a torque can be transmitted to the locking device via the key shaft. The mechanical movement of the locking device is thus preferably carried out by the key.

[0053] It is preferably provided that the key, in particular via the key shaft, establishes an electrical connection to the locking device. The connection can be wireless or wired. The key and the locking device comprise corresponding transmission devices for this purpose. "Wired" (also referred to as non-wireless) means that the connection is made via at least one arbitrary conductor in the key that can be brought into electrically conductive contact with the locking device electronics. For this purpose, the key and the locking device can comprise corresponding electrical contacts as transmission devices. The connection can serve to transmit data, in particular the identifier. The electrical connection makes it possible to exchange data, in particular non-wirelessly, between the key and the locking device.Alternatively or additionally, the transmission devices make it possible to transfer electrical energy (also referred to as current) from the key to the locking device.

[0054] The functional test routine is preferably triggered using a key that structurally matches the locking device. For example, the key that structurally matches the locking device can be geometrically inserted and removed from the locking channel. Additionally or alternatively, the key that structurally matches the locking device has a transmission device that matches the transmission device of the locking device.

[0055] In particular, it is intended that the same key can unlock all structurally compatible electro-mechanical locking devices of a manufacturer in their factory state, using a general encryption key or without an encryption key.

[0056] In particular, the key used, which is detected, is configured to convert the driver of locking devices that are in the configured state into the rotatable state using an access authorization. This means that, for example, the same key can be used by the installer to test the electromechanical functionality of locking devices in their factory state and / or to attach them in or to a locking element in their factory state, and to gain access to a locked room with locking devices that are in operation. This depends, in particular, exclusively, on the electronic data of the key.

[0057] For example, the same key can contain access authorizations for locking devices that are in a configured state. For example, the installer also works as a caretaker. In this role, the installer can install the locking devices in their factory state and, once the work is complete, use the same key to operate the already configured locking device in the caretaker's apartment. Additionally or alternatively, after receiving the configuration data, as part of the commissioning process, the key can contain at least one access authorization to verify authorized access. It is possible that, in the configured state of the locking device, the locking device electronics only control the actuator to move the driver into the rotatable state if the access authorization has been verified beforehand.The access authorization check takes place in the system, in particular in the key and / or the locking device. Access authorization can be determined, in particular, using the electronic identifier of the key and / or the key identifier. As part of the access authorization check, for example, the key can send the key identifier to the locking device and / or the locking device can send the identifier to the key.

[0058] For example, it may be provided that the electronic key determines access authorization based on the electronic identifier of the locking device and sends an opening command to the locking device. Additionally or alternatively, the key may select access authorization information based on the electronic identifier and send the selected access authorization information to the locking device for verification. Additionally or alternatively, the locking device may check the access authorization of the key identifier, in particular based on a whitelist and / or a blacklist. Furthermore, the location, for example, in the key, can be checked. Furthermore, it may be provided that either the key and / or the locking device check a time-based access condition.

[0059] In particular, it is provided that the functional verification routine is triggered without prior verification of access authorization, which depends on the electronic identifier of the locking device. Additionally or alternatively, it is provided that the functional verification routine is triggered without prior verification of access authorization, which depends on the key identifier of the locking device. Additionally or alternatively, it is provided that the functional verification routine is triggered without prior verification of access authorization, which depends on the location. It is therefore preferably provided that the usual access authorization check, which takes place in the configured state of the locking device, does not take place in the factory state.

[0060] Preferably, the function check routine is triggered without prior verification of access authorization that depends on an electronic identifier (ID) of the locking device or the electronic key identifier. Particularly preferably, the function check routine is triggered without prior verification of access authorization that depends on an electronic identifier (ID) of the locking device, the electronic key identifier, or the location. Because the control of the actuator to transfer the driver to the rotatable state preferably does not depend on the identifier, the key identifier, or the location in the factory state, this prevents access authorization that depends on the key, the locking device, and the location from being verified.

[0061] The aforementioned specifications for triggering the functional verification routine preferably characterize the factory state of the locking device. Thus, in the factory state, the locking device can preferably trigger the functional verification routine independently of a locking system assignment, a location area assignment, and / or a location assignment. Additionally or alternatively, in the factory state, the locking device can trigger the functional verification routine independently of an access authorization check, which depends on the identifier, the key identifier, and / or the location.

[0062] The functional test routine is preferably triggered by supplying the locking device for energizing the actuator from an electrical energy storage device in the key, wherein the key comprises the key shaft for insertion into the locking device and for transmitting electrical energy to the locking device. Preferably, the key shaft must be inserted into the locking device for key detection. This makes it possible, in particular, for the corresponding transmission devices to be connected.

[0063] Preferably, the access authorization information received by the locking device includes location-specific access authorization information. Thus, access authorization information is received that is specific to the location. The location-specific access authorization information relates to a specific location and thus preferably to exactly one locking device. In the factory state, however, the locking device is preferably free of location-specific access authorization information. The functional verification routine is preferably triggered without the locking device having previously been electronically assigned to a location.

[0064] Additionally or alternatively, it is provided that access authorization information received by the locking device includes location-specific access authorization information. Thus, access authorization information is received that is specific to the location, in particular valid for the entire location. The location-specific access authorization information relates to a specific location - for example, a part of a building with multiple doors - and thus preferably to multiple locking devices. In the factory state, however, the locking device is preferably free of location-specific access authorization information. Preferably, the function test routine is triggered without the locking device having previously been electronically assigned to a location.

[0065] Additionally or alternatively, it is provided that access authorization information received by the locking device includes locking system-specific access authorization information. Thus, access authorization information is received that is specific to the locking system, in particular, is valid for the entire locking system. The locking system-specific access authorization information relates to a locking system as previously defined. The locking-specific access authorization information relates to multiple locking devices. In the factory state, however, the locking device is preferably free of locking system-specific access authorization information. The functional test routine is preferably triggered without the locking device having been electronically assigned to a locking system.

[0066] The access authorization information may include at least a blacklist, encryption information, in particular an encryption key, and / or locking device operating data.

[0067] The blacklist comprises a list of blocked access authorizations, in particular blocked key identifiers. The encryption information, in particular the encryption key, serves to electronically decrypt electronic data received by the locking device. The encryption information can thus also be referred to as cryptographic information and / or the encryption key as a cryptographic key. The locking device operating data comprises data on the operation of the locking device, e.g., a period of time during which the actuator is energized to transfer the driver into the rotatable state and / or data regarding an acoustic and / or visual indication of a locking device state.Particularly in the case of an electromechanical coupling between the rotor and the driver, the locking device operating data can include a time period until the actuator is activated to return to the non-rotatable state. Thus, it is preferably provided that the access authorization information contains a location-specific and / or location-area-specific and / or locking system-specific blacklist. For example, the blacklist includes blocked authorizations that are blocked for the entire locking system and blocked authorizations that are blocked only for the location. Thus, the blacklist can be configured to be locking system-specific and location-specific. Preferably, the locking device is configured to be free of a location-specific and / or location-area-specific and / or locking system-specific blacklist when the functional test routine is triggered.Preferably, the locking device is designed in the factory state free of a location-specific and / or location-area-specific and / or locking system-specific blacklist.

[0068] Additionally or alternatively, it is preferably provided that the access authorization information contains location-specific and / or location-area-specific and / or locking system-specific encryption information, in particular a location-specific and / or location-area-specific and / or locking system-specific encryption key. Preferably, when the function check routine is triggered, the locking device is designed free of location-specific and / or location-area-specific and / or locking system-specific encryption information, in particular an encryption key. Preferably, in the factory state, the locking device is designed free of location-specific and / or location-area-specific and / or locking system-specific encryption information, in particular

[0069] Encryption key, trained.

[0070] The encryption information can be composed of different pieces of information. For example, the encryption information includes information specific to the entire locking system and information specific only to the location. Thus, the encryption information can be location- and locking-system-specific. Because exactly one locking device is assigned to a location, location-specific encryption information also includes encryption information specific to the identifier.

[0071] Additionally or alternatively, it is preferably provided that the configuration data contains location-specific and / or location-area-specific and / or locking system-specific locking device operating data. Preferably, the locking device is designed to be free of location-specific and / or location-area-specific and / or locking system-specific locking device operating data when the functional test routine is triggered. Preferably, it is provided that a location-specific user input for defining the location occurs by receiving the user input by a device, in particular a mobile device, before receiving the configuration data. Thus, the method according to the invention can also involve method steps that are not performed by the locking device. Rather, the method step of receiving the user input is performed by the device.

[0072] Preferably, the location-specific user input is received after the functional verification routine has been triggered. The locking device is in its factory default state during reception.

[0073] The device is preferably a mobile device, in particular a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. Alternatively, the device can also be a terminal that is mounted in or on the building, for example, on the wall, and is used for room and / or building control. Preferably, the device can establish a connection to the internet and / or a telecommunications network. Preferably, the device can communicate with a computing unit via the internet or the telecommunications network.

[0074] The computing unit can be located anywhere. In particular, it is intended that the device communicates with the computing unit wirelessly, in particular via the Internet or a telecommunications network. The computing unit can be a server, for example. The server can also be provided virtually, in particular as a cloud service. In particular, a corresponding database is stored in the computing unit.

[0075] The device preferably has input means; for example, a keyboard and / or a touchscreen. The input means serve, in particular, to enable the user to enter the location into the device. Further preferably, the device has output means; for example, a screen, in particular a touchscreen, and / or a loudspeaker. The device preferably comprises electronics. The electronics serve, in particular, to process the user input and / or output a message on the output means.

[0076] As described, the device "receives" the location-specific user input, which also includes the possibility that the user input can be made via an external input device, for example a keyboard wirelessly connected to the device. However, it is particularly preferred that the location-specific user input is made on the device, i.e. the input means is located directly on the device, for example the touchscreen or the keyboard of the device. Preferably, the installer enters the user input manually on the input means, in particular the screen. In one example, the location-specific user input is thus made by an input from the user, in particular the installer, on the touchscreen of the smartphone or tablet.

[0077] A location-specific user input refers, in particular, to a user input of a location or a selection of a location, resulting in the information about the location, hereinafter referred to as location information, being available in the device. Examples of a user input of a location are "Hotel Room 308," "Office 416," "Switch Cabinet Luisenstraße," "Basement Building No. 1," "Front Door Amalienstraße 13," or an input on a two- or three-dimensional location map.

[0078] This user input is particularly preferably performed while the user, in particular the installer, is on-site, i.e., at the location defined here. In particular, it is intended that this reception of the location-specific user input on the device only occurs when the installer is on-site together with the locking device to be installed. The installer does not have to stand directly in front of the locking element into which the locking device is installed; this is especially true if the location is in an explosion-protected area or if no mobile phone reception is available at the location.

[0079] The key may be configured for wireless communication with the device. Wireless communication with the device occurs, in particular, via active, wireless transmission of the key. In particular, short-range communication, for example, via Bluetooth or ultrawideband (UWB), is used. The key preferably comprises electronics. The electronics can be used to carry out the communication.

[0080] Preferably, after communication between the key and the device has been established, the key identifier is sent from the key to the device. The device preferably forwards the key identifier to the processing unit. This allows the processing unit to check, for example, which usage rights the key has and / or are to be assigned to the key. Furthermore, the device can send further data specifically to this one key.

[0081] The procedural step of defining the location where the locking device is to be installed through user input on the device serves to prepare for the receipt of configuration data. The location information where the locking device is to be installed makes it possible for the locking device to receive location-specific access authorization information. If the location is already assigned to a location area and / or a locking system, e.g. in the computing unit and / or the device, the location information can make it possible for location- and / or locking area-specific access authorization information to be received as configuration data. This makes it easy for the installer to select any locking device in its factory state on site during the commissioning process and then transfer it to the configured state.

[0082] In addition or alternatively to determining the location, a locking system can be selected by receiving a locking system user input by the device, in particular a mobile device, before receiving the configuration data. The installer preferably makes the locking system selection manually on the device, preferably on the input means, particularly preferably on the screen. This allows the installer to select a corresponding locking system, in particular before the location-specific user input. The user input is made in particular via the input means. For example, the installer enters the locking system on the touchscreen. In particular, by defining the locking system via a user input on the device, locking system-specific access authorization information can be received by the locking device.

[0083] Preferably, the locking system-specific user input is received after the function check routine has been triggered. The locking device is in its factory default state during the input.

[0084] Preferably, the location-specific user input and / or locking system user input is / are performed by selecting from selection lists and / or overview maps displayed on a device screen. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the location information is newly created during the location-specific user input.

[0085] In particular, the following is provided for the location-specific user input to define the location, ie the input of the location information:

[0086] Location-specific user input can be performed by selecting a location from a selection list. The selection list is preferably displayed on the device's screen. This selection list is sent to the device, in particular, from a processing unit. The device receives the selection list from the processing unit. The user, in particular the installer, can select the appropriate location on the device while on-site, especially to perform commissioning.

[0087] Additionally or alternatively, it is intended that the location-specific user input is preferably performed or supplemented by free text input. This free text input is primarily performed on the device. This allows new location information to be created.

[0088] In addition, the location-specific user input can also be made or completed by selecting an item on a location overview map. This location overview map is preferably sent from the processing unit to the device, or the device receives the location overview map from the processing unit.

[0089] In particular, the selection is made on the site map on the device. The site map can, for example, be a room map that graphically represents the position of rooms within a building, so that, for example, clicking on a specific room or door selects the location, thereby providing location-specific user input. In a very similar way, the site map can be a building map on which the user selects a specific building in which the locking device will be installed. Furthermore, the site map can also represent the various locations on a map, for example, locations in the form of buildings or control cabinets that are widely dispersed.

[0090] It is conceivable that the user, particularly the installer, creates new location information. This means that the user generates location information through user input before this generated location information has been stored in the processing unit. This allows a location to be considered as the installation location of the locking device that is not stored as such in the processing unit. Thus, the user, particularly the installer, creates location information. This is conceivable, in particular, through free text input or by selecting it from the location map.

[0091] The individual location-specific user input can also be performed using a combination of several different or similar methods described above. For example, a location can first be selected from the selection list and then supplemented with text input. Similarly, a building can first be selected in the location overview map and then the specific location can be defined in a more detailed location overview map, via free text input, or via the selection list.

[0092] Preferably, the locking system is selected from a predefined selection list. Preferably, the user, especially the on-site installer, cannot create a new locking system. Preferably, the locking system selection is taken into account during location-specific user input. For this purpose, the device can electronically store possible locations associated with at least one locking system.

[0093] The location-specific user input for defining the location is preferably first performed by selecting the locking system and then selecting the location in the locking system. In particular, a selection list of locations is provided for this purpose, which only shows locations of the selected locking system. Additionally or alternatively, free text input of the location can be made after the locking system selection. In particular, it is also possible to create new location information within a locking system. Furthermore, it is possible that, after the locking system selection, the location is subsequently selected using a location overview map of the locking system. This location overview map has already been described above. Preferably, it can be provided that only locations of the respective locking system are displayed on the location overview map.

[0094] In preparation for receiving the configuration data from the locking device, the computing unit and / or device can, for example, use the location information to determine the location area in which the location where the locking device is to be installed is located on the location map. Alternatively, as already mentioned, possible locations are assigned to location areas in the computing unit and / or device prior to user input.

[0095] Once the location-specific user input has been received by the device, the identifier (ID) is preferably assigned to the defined location to create an ID-location assignment. The ID-location assignment can, for example, be a data set in which the corresponding location is recorded for the ID. However, it is also regarded as an “ID-location assignment” if, for example, the ID and the location are stored in different tables and only the link between ID and location is saved. It is particularly preferably provided that the assignment is carried out for the first time, which means that the specific identifier of the locking device is assigned to a location for the first time. Alternatively, the assignment can take place after an existing ID-location assignment has been deleted; however, an assignment is preferably not possible as long as an assignment exists for the current ID.After the locking system has been selected, the selected locking system is preferably assigned to the identifier of the locking device to form an ID-locking system assignment.

[0096] The ID-location assignment and / or the ID-locking system assignment preferably takes place within the device. For this purpose, the locking device can send the identifier to the device, particularly via the key.

[0097] Particularly preferably, the key is inserted with its key shaft into the locking device, while the locking device transmits the identifier to the key. The insertion of the key into the locking device can be a prerequisite for the locking device to transmit the identifier to the key. The insertion of the key into the locking device can be a prerequisite for the key to receive the identifier from the locking device.

[0098] The key may be inserted with the key shaft in the locking device while the key transmits the identifier to the device. The key being inserted in the locking device may be a prerequisite for the key to transmit the identifier to the device. The key being inserted in the locking device may be a prerequisite for the device to receive the identifier from the key.

[0099] The following method step is preferably provided: electronic transmission of the identifier (ID) by the locking device to the computing unit before receiving the configuration data, in particular via the key and / or the device. In this case, the identifier of the locking device is preferably transmitted indirectly by the locking device to the device. In particular, it is provided that the locking device first transmits the identifier to the key, in particular non-wirelessly. The key then forwards the identifier of the locking device to the device, in particular wirelessly via short-range communication. The transmission of the identifier serves to build or supplement the database in the computing unit. The transmission of the identifier preferably occurs after the ID-location assignment and / or the ID-locking system assignment have been established.

[0100] Preferably, it is provided that, in particular before the locking device receives the configuration data, the device sends the location information obtained via the location-specific user input and / or the locking system information obtained via the locking system user input to the computing unit. Preferably, the location information and / or locking system information are sent after the ID-location assignment and / or the ID-locking system assignment have been established.

[0101] It can be provided that the device receives access authorization information from the computing unit, in particular location-specific, location-area-specific, and / or locking system-specific. The access authorization information received by the device can be identical to or different from the access authorization information received by the locking device according to the invention. For example, the access authorization information received by the computing unit is modified in the device and / or key. The receipt of the access authorization information by the device serves to prepare the receipt of the configuration data by the locking device. This method step is carried out by the device. This method step takes place in particular after the method step of sending the location-specific and / or locking system-specific user input.In particular, based on the location information and / or locking system information, the processing unit can send the appropriate access authorization information to the device.

[0102] Preferably, the access authorization information, in particular location-specific and / or location-area-specific and / or locking system-specific, is sent from the key to the locking device. Thus, the commissioning method can also include a step performed by the key. This involves the access authorization information received by the locking device.

[0103] To send the access authorization information, the key comprises the key shaft, wherein the key with the key shaft is inserted into the locking device in order to send the access authorization information, in particular location-specific and / or location-area-specific and / or locking system-specific, to the locking device.

[0104] It can be provided that the key has previously received access authorization information from the device, in particular location-specific, location-area-specific, and / or locking system-specific. Particularly preferably, the access authorization information is sent from the computing unit to the device, and from the device to the key. It can be provided that the key modifies the access authorization information received from the device before the key sends the access authorization information to the locking device. Preferably, the encryption information, in particular the encryption key, is modified by the key. This makes manipulation of the encryption information more difficult. For example, the encryption information received by the key can be customized for the location or the locking device.

[0105] The access authorization information is then received by the locking device, i.e. the access authorization information is sent from the key to the locking device or received by the locking device.

[0106] As already mentioned, between the receipt of access authorization information by the key and the transmission of the access authorization information to the locking device, it can be provided that the key modifies the access authorization information, in particular the encryption information.

[0107] It is preferably provided that when the locking device receives the configuration data, the access authorization information, in particular location-specific and / or location-area-specific and / or locking system-specific, is sent from the key to the locking device.

[0108] It can be provided that the key for triggering the function test routine is a first key. The key for sending the access authorization information can be a second key. Thus, at least two keys are used. This makes it possible for a first installer to only test the electromechanical functionality. To do so, the first installer inserts the first key into the locking device. Furthermore, the first installer can be provided to mount the locking device on or in the locking element. Preferably, it is not necessary for the first installer to make any user input into the device.

[0109] A second installer can be provided to receive the configuration data from the locking device. To do this, the installer preferably inserts the second key into the locking device. The second installer is specifically provided to make user input into the device, particularly to define the location and / or the locking system. This allows the method to be further optimized, since the first and second installers each perform different, specific subtasks.

[0110] The first key and the second key can be mechanically identical. Preferably, the first and second keys have different authorizations. Thus, for example, the first installer may not be authorized at all to have the locking device perform the configuration data and / or to perform preparatory steps for the locking device to receive the configuration data. In particular, the first installer has no authorization to perform user input into the device to define the location and / or the locking system.

[0111] After receiving the configuration data, i.e. in the configured state, the actuator is preferably only controlled to transfer the driver into the rotatable state if the location-, location-area- and / or locking system-specific access authorization has been checked beforehand.

[0112] Before the locking device receives the configuration data, the method can comprise the following step: wirelessly sending a configuration message from the device to the key indicating that a locking device is to be configured. This configuration message contains the information, or is to be evaluated by the key, that a locking device is to be configured. Based on this configuration message, it is preferably provided that the key accordingly controls the locking device electronics so that it sends its identifier to the key and / or that the locking device electronics receives the configuration data. In particular, this can be followed by the denial of access authorization and / or the granting of access authorization.

[0113] The locking device used in the method preferably has a housing and an insert. The insert comprises a stator and the rotor. The stator is preferably attached to the housing in a form-fitting and / or force-fitting manner. The rotor is rotatably mounted in the stator. Because the stator and the housing are formed in two parts, the stator can be inserted into various housings. This also allows the housing to be replaced on-site if it proves to be unsuitable for installation or malfunctions. This increases the effectiveness of commissioning. The insert preferably comprises the locking device electronics and the actuator.

[0114] The actuator can be used to unlock the previously locked rotor, allowing the rotor and the driver connected to it to rotate. Additionally or alternatively, the actuator can be used to couple the rotor to the driver.

[0115] Preferably, the locking device is free of mechanical coding. This means that the rotation of the driver depends solely on the user's electronic access authorization. Thus, many locking devices comprise the same internal structure, such as a key channel, key withdrawal lock, electrical contacts, coupling element for the driver, or the like. Accordingly, the key can be designed without mechanical coding.

[0116] The invention further comprises a system for activating a locking device at a location, in particular the locking device described above. The advantageous embodiments and subclaims described in the context of the method find correspondingly advantageous application within the context of the system.

[0117] The system comprises the electromechanical locking device with the locking device electronics, the actuator, and, if applicable, the driver. The locking device is designed, in particular, as described above. Furthermore, the locking device is designed to perform method steps according to the method described above. In particular, the method steps described in connection with the locking device are carried out in the locking device.

[0118] The system preferably comprises the key, in particular the described key. The key is particularly designed to carry out the method steps according to the method described above, which are described in connection with the key.

[0119] The system preferably comprises a computer program product for execution, in particular also storage, on a device, in particular the device described above. The computer program product is designed to carry out 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. The system can comprise the device and / or the computing unit.

[0120] The invention will now be described in more detail using exemplary embodiments. In the following:

[0121] Fig. 1 shows a system according to the invention for carrying out the method according to the invention according to all embodiments,

[0122] Fig. 2 shows an application of the locking device of the system according to the invention from Fig. 1,

[0123] Fig. 3 is an exploded view of the insert from Fig. 2,

[0124] Fig. 4 optional process steps of the process according to the invention according to all embodiments,

[0125] Fig. 5 Process steps of the method according to the invention according to a first embodiment,

[0126] Fig. 6 is a schematic representation of locations of a locking system used in the method according to the invention according to all embodiments, and

[0127] Fig. 7 Method steps of the method according to the invention according to a second embodiment.

[0128] In the following, the structure of a system 2 for carrying out a method 1 is first described purely schematically with reference to Figs. 1 to 3. The method 1 is then explained in more detail with reference to the schematic representation in Figs. 4 to 7.

[0129] Fig. 1 shows a purely schematic view of system 2. This comprises an electromechanical locking device 30, here designed as a locking cylinder. The locking device 30 is inserted into a locking element 210 at a specific location 201-208 (see Fig. 6). Various locking cylinders can be arranged at locations 201-208 (see Fig. 6) as part of a locking system 200. Fig. 6 shows a location overview plan of the locking system 200 with different locations 201-208, designed as different rooms. Each location 201-208 can be locked by a locking element 210, i.e., a door with a lock. Corresponding locking devices 30 are inserted into the locking elements 210.The locations can be divided into different local areas: For example, locations 201 and 205 are public spaces to which every user should have access and which form a first local area, while locations 202-204, 206-208 should only be granted access to individual users. Locations 202-204, 206-208 form a second local area.

[0130] Furthermore, Fig. 1 illustrates that the system 2 comprises a key 20 and a device 10. Furthermore, a computing unit 60 can also be assigned to the system 2. The computing unit 60 is, in particular, a server, for example, a virtual server in a cloud.

[0131] The device 10 is, in particular, a mobile device, as explained in the general part of the description. The computing unit 60 and the mobile device 10 are configured for data communication, in particular wireless data communication. The mobile device can communicate with the computing unit 60 via the internet and / or a telecommunications network. Furthermore, the mobile device 10 can communicate with the key 20 via a short-range wireless connection, for example, BLE or UWB.

[0132] The key 20 has a key shaft 21 for insertion into the locking device 30. Furthermore, the key 20 has a button 22 for activating a communication connection between the key 20 and the device 10. By means of an illumination device 23 on the key 20, corresponding signals indicating the communication connection can be output. In addition, the illumination device 23 can indicate when a method step has been performed or failed. Electrical contacts are formed on the key shaft 21 as a transmission device 24 for transmitting data and electrical energy to the locking device 30 and for receiving data from the locking device 30. The locking device comprises a corresponding transmission device 37. The key 20 comprises an energy storage device for supplying itself and the locking device 30 with electrical energy.

[0133] Fig. 1 further illustrates that the locking device 30 has a housing 31. A stator 32, into which a rotor 33 is inserted, is located on the housing 31. The key shaft 21 of the key 20 can be inserted into this rotor 33. During operation, i.e., when the locking device 30 is configured, the rotor 33 can only be rotated by turning the key 20 if access authorization is present. If access authorization is not present, however, the rotor 33 remains locked. The access authorization is checked by the key 20 and the locking device 30.

[0134] By rotating the rotor 33, i.e., when access authorization is present, a driver 36 shown, which in the present example is designed as a locking lug, can be rotated. The driver 36 is connected to the rotor 33 in a rotationally fixed manner, at least when the key 20 is inserted.

[0135] Furthermore, locking device electronics 34 are provided. These control an actuator 35 of locking device 30 in the configured state when access authorization is present. By appropriately controlling the actuator 35, the locking device 30 can permit rotation of rotor 33. If rotation of rotor 33 is permitted, driver 36 is in a rotatable state. If rotation of rotor 33 is prevented, driver 36 is in a non-rotatable state.

[0136] To transfer the rotor 33 and thus the driver 36 from the non-rotatable to the rotatable state, the actuator 35 rotates an asymmetrical blocking element 39. The rotation of the blocking element 39 allows an unlocking movement of a locking bar 38. The locking bar 38 can engage the stator 32 to block the rotation of the rotor 33. The rotation of the blocking element 39 allows the locking bar 38 to disengage from the stator 32.

[0137] The locking device 30 includes an electronic identifier ID that is stored in the locking device electronics 34.

[0138] Key 20 is designed without mechanical coding. Thus, whether the user is authorized or not can only be determined based on electronic access authorization information. Key 20 includes an electronic key identifier.

[0139] Fig. 4 illustrates optionally executable method steps. Accordingly, within the scope of method 1 for commissioning the electromechanical locking device 30 at a location 201-208, the following can be performed:

[0140] 80: Determining a suitable housing 31: A user 70 (also referred to as an installer) can first select the appropriate housing 31, in particular the housing 31 of a locking cylinder. 81: Inserting the stator 32 and the rotor 33: The stator 32 and the rotor 33 are then installed, in particular as a joint insert, into the appropriate housing 31.

[0141] 82: Inserting the key 20: Preferably, before the locking device 30 is mounted in the locking element 210 (e.g., lock), the key 20 is inserted into the locking device 30. The locking device electronics 34 can then detect the key.

[0142] 83: Initiating a functional test routine: The actuator 35 is controlled by the locking device electronics 34 so that it allows movement of the driver 36. The electrical energy is provided by the key 20 via the transmission devices.

[0143] 84: Turning: Using the inserted key 20, the installer 70 can turn the driver 36 by transmitting torque from the key 20 via the key shaft 21 to the rotor 33. This allows the mechanical functioning of the locking device 30 to be checked. If necessary, the driver 36 can be turned into the required position so that the locking device 30 can be inserted into the locking element 210 and thus mounted therein.

[0144] If the locking device 30 can be inserted into the locking element 201 without rotating the driver 36, the installer 70 can first mount the locking device 30 and then check it using steps 82 and 83 (not shown).

[0145] During the execution of the method 80 to 84, the locking device 30 is in a factory state. In this factory state, any mechanically compatible key 20 can cause the locking device electronics 34 to control the actuator 35 to unlock the rotor 33. Due to the lack of mechanical coding, this applies to any key 20 whose transmission device 24 can be brought into contact with the transmission device 37 of the locking device. Optionally, a generally valid access authorization information, which is factory-installed on every key 20 of this type, can be verified by the locking device 30.

[0146] Because the actuator can be controlled on-site, particularly during or after installation of the locking device 30, using any mechanically compatible key 20, the installer 70 can very effectively install the locking devices 30 of the locking system 200. In doing so, the installer 70 only needs to ensure that the installer 70 installs the locking device 30 that is mechanically compatible with the locking element 210.

[0147] In its factory state, the locking device 30 lacks access authorization information that would be available for the locking system 200, the local area, or the installation location during operation. In other words, steps 82 and 83 are performed without system 1 knowing the locking system affiliation of the locking device 30, the local area affiliation of the locking device 30, and the location affiliation of the locking device 30. This affiliation is only subsequently determined by the method steps illustrated in Figures 5 or 7. Thus, the locking devices 30 are "bulk goods" in their factory state.

[0148] The missing access authorization information may relate to a blacklist and / or cryptographic encryption information, in particular an encryption key.

[0149] Accordingly, the factory default setting lacks an access authorization check tailored to the locking system 200, the local area, or the location. Since access authorization checks during operation depend on the identifier ID and / or the key identifier, the factory default setting lacks an access authorization check that incorporates the identifier ID and / or the key identifier.

[0150] Optionally, the installer in process steps 82, 83, 84, and possibly also in process steps 80, 81, is a primary installer. This installer can quickly and effectively perform the mechanical installation and functional testing without using device 10.

[0151] Access authorizations may have been assigned for key 20. This means that the same key 20 can be used to unlock a locking element on other locking devices that are already configured, provided the access authorization check is successful.

[0152] Fig. 5 illustrates, according to a first exemplary embodiment, further steps of method 1 for commissioning the electromechanical locking device 30 at the location 201-208. Fig. 5 shows, purely schematically, in a left-hand column, method steps that are primarily assigned to the installer 70 or the computing unit 60. The installer 70 in Figure 5 can optionally correspond to a second installer. The second installer can use a different key 20 than the installer, whereby the keys of the two installers are mechanically identical.

[0153] The second column shows process steps that are primarily associated with device 10. The third column shows process steps that are primarily associated with key 20. The fourth column shows process steps that are primarily associated with locking device 30.

[0154] As explained in the general part of the description, many of the procedural steps are optional and do not necessarily have to be performed.

[0155] 101: Reception to start the program: In this process step, the device 10 receives a corresponding input from the installer 70, so that the program, in particular a computer program product, is started on the device 10. This also means that an already started program is called and thus placed on the user interface of the device 10.

[0156] 102: Reception for user authentication: In this process step, the installer 70 can be authenticated by the device 10 to determine whether they are authorized to proceed with further process steps. This can be done by directly entering a password, for example, on the device 10. However, reception also means that the device 10 records, for example, biometric data from the installer 70 to ensure authentication. This also makes it possible to distinguish between the first installer, who is not authorized to proceed with the further process steps, and the second installer, who is authorized to proceed with the further process steps.

[0157] 103: Reception for device-side wireless communication: In this process step, it can be taken into account 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 installer 70 confirms this by a corresponding input.

[0158] 104: Receiving the "Commissioning of Locking Device" program module to start it: The program may contain a module that is explicitly called to subsequently commission a new locking device 30. User input is required for this. : Issuing a request to press the button on the key: In this process step, the installer 70 can be prompted by the device 10, for example, via a display, to press button 22 on the key 20. : Receiving the button press on the key 20: In this process step, the corresponding electronics in the key 20 receive the information that button 22 has been pressed. : Checking the charge level: In particular, after receiving the information in step 106 that button 22 has been pressed, the charge level of the energy storage device of the key 20 is checked in the key 20.: Charge level too low - YES / NO? Key 20 determines whether the charge level of the energy storage device is too low, i.e. below a limit value. : Abort: If the charge level is too low, the process is aborted. In particular, a corresponding message is sent to device 10, informing the installer 70 that the charge level is too low. : Sending the configuration message: If, however, according to process step 108, the charge level is not too low, key 20 informs device 10 of this, and a configuration message is sent from device 10 to key 20. The content of this configuration message is that a new locking device 30 is to be configured.: Output of information regarding key insertion: After the optional transmission of the configuration message according to method step 110, a message is preferably output on device 10, informing the installer 70 that the key 20 must now be inserted into the locking device 30. For example, a corresponding output is displayed on the display of device 10.

[0159] The installer 70 then inserts the key 20 into the locking device 30. : Sending the ID: In particular, by inserting the key 20, the locking device electronics 34 are woken up and sends an identifier (ID) of the locking device 30 to the key 20. : Forwarding the ID: The key 20 is connected non-wirelessly to the locking device 30 and receives the identifier in this way. The key 20 then forwards the identifier to the device 10 via the wireless communication connection with the device 10. : Sending the ID to the computing unit 60: The device 10 can now forward the identifier received in method step 113 to the computing unit 60, although this is not absolutely necessary. : ID already assigned - YES / NO? Information about whether the identifier of the locking device 30 is already assigned to a location can be generated in the computing unit 60.Computing unit 60 sends this information to device 10. Based on this information, either method step 116 or 117 then occurs in device 10. : Abort: If it turns out that the identifier of locking device 30 is already assigned to a location, the process is aborted. Preferably, installer 70 is notified of this by a corresponding output on device 10. : Locking system selection: In the next step, a locking system selection can be made on device 10, in which—as explained in detail in the general part of the description—installer 70 selects a locking system 200. For this purpose, installer 70 enters a locking system user input 72 on device 10.: Receiving a location-specific user input 71 : In the next step, the installer 70 enters a location-specific user input 71 on the device 10 so that the device 10 can receive the location-specific user input 71. In particular, the location-specific user input 71 occurs directly on the device 10. The precise design of this location-specific user input 71 is explained in detail in the general part of the description and applies accordingly to the exemplary embodiment. : Assignment: In this method step, the device 10 uses the identifier of the locking device 30 forwarded according to method step 113. During the assignment, the device 10 forms an ID-location assignment; that is, a connection between the identifier and the defined location 201-208.

[0160] Furthermore, within the scope of the assignment 119, a connection can also be established between the defined locking system 200 and the defined location 201-208 by generating an ID-locking system assignment. Preferably, an ID-location-locking system assignment is generated. : Sending the assignment: In this method step, the ID-location assignment can be sent from the device 10 to the computing unit 60. Optionally, the ID-locking system assignment can also be sent to the computing unit 60, or an ID-location-locking system assignment can be sent. : Receiving the access authorization information at the device 10: In this method step, the computing unit 60 sends access authorization information, as explained in the general part of the description, to the device 20. The access authorization information is based in particular on the location assignment, in particular the ID-location assignment, and / or on the locking system assignment, in particular the ID-locking system assignment.Thus, the access authorization information is location-specific or locking system-specific. If the location was known to the computing unit 60 and assigned to a location area, or if the computing unit 60 can derive the associated location area from the location information, the access authorization information can be location-specific. The access authorization information can include a blacklist and / or encryption information, in particular an encryption key. The arrow between method steps 120 and 121 indicates the chronological order of the steps in the device 10, namely that the device 10 first sends the assignment in step 120 and then receives the access authorization information in step 121.: Sending the access authorization information to key 20: Once device 10 has received the access authorization information in method step 121, it can send it to key 20, in particular wirelessly, according to method step 122. 123: Forwarding the access authorization information by key 20: Key 20 receives the access authorization information from device 10 and forwards it, in particular while key 20 is inserted, to locking device 30. In this process, key 20 modifies the received encryption information.

[0161] 124: Receipt of the access authorization information, in particular, initial receipt of the access authorization information, at the locking device 30. This corresponds to the step of the method according to the invention. The access authorization information forwarded by the key 20 is received in the locking device 30, in particular the locking device electronics 34, according to method step 124. This at least partially defines in the locking device 30 which signals a key 20 must or may not send to the locking device electronics 34, so that the actuator 35 can be controlled such that the rotor 33 can be rotated by means of the key 20.

[0162] In addition to the access authorization information, further configuration data such as locking device operating data may be received and forwarded in steps 121 to 123 together with the access authorization information.

[0163] 125: Sending a confirmation: After receiving the access authorization information according to method step 124, the locking device 30 can send a confirmation to the device 10, in particular via the key 20, stating that the access authorization information has been received. This is done via the key 20 (not shown).

[0164] After step 125, the following steps can optionally follow (not shown): Because the computing unit 60 knows the key identifier of the key 20 used for configuration and the identifier, a one-time access authorization is assigned for the key 20. The system 200 carries out an access authorization check and signals the access authorization. The installer can check this, for example, by turning the driver. Additionally or alternatively, in particular subsequently, a new access authorization check is carried out automatically or after a user input on the device 10, in which case the system 200 comes to the conclusion that access is to be denied to the key 20. This is displayed visually and / or acoustically on the device 10 and / or on the key 20. Fig.7 illustrates, according to a second exemplary embodiment, further steps of method 1 for commissioning the electromechanical locking device 30 at the location 201-208. The methods 1 according to the invention and the systems 2 of the two exemplary embodiments are identical—except for the differences described below.

[0165] 101 and 102: as in Fig. 5.

[0166] 117: According to Fig. 7, the locking system selection already takes place after step 102:

[0167] A locking system selection can be made on device 10, in which—as explained in detail in the general part of the description—the installer 70 selects a locking system 200. For this purpose, the installer 70 enters a locking system user input 72 on device 10.

[0168] 103 and 104: After step 117, the optional steps 103 and 104 may follow, as described in connection with Fig. 5.

[0169] 111 : This is followed by step 111. Step 111 describes in this

[0170] In the first embodiment, only the insertion of the key 20 into the locking device 30 is required. The key 20 is designed such that it is awakened by insertion. As a result, steps 104 and 105 can be omitted in the second embodiment according to Fig. 7, so that no button actuation on the key 20 is necessary.

[0171] 112: Sending the ID: In particular, by inserting the key 20, the

[0172] Locking device electronics 34 is woken up and sends an identifier (ID) of the locking device 30 to the key 20.

[0173] 113 to 107: Forwarding the ID: Key 20 is connected non-wirelessly to locking device 30 and receives the identifier in this way. Key 20 then forwards the identifier to device 10 via the wireless communication connection with device 10.

[0174] In this process, the charge level of the energy storage device of the key 20 can also be checked according to step 107. If the charge level is too low, the process is aborted. In particular, a corresponding message is sent to the device 10, informing the installer 70 that the charge level is too low. 114 to 116: as in Fig. 5.
