Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for setting up interlocking using door lock administrator authority, and its purpose is to set up interlocking such as resetting a door lock password only through a smart device that has acquired door lock administrator authority by setting an administrator password.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for setting a digital door lock, and more particularly, to an interlocking setting method by a door lock administrator authority that attempts to set the pairing of a door lock and a management application of the door lock only with administrator authority.

Background Art

[0002] With the development of communication and security technologies, the password authentication method for opening / locking a digital door lock, which is an access control device, has been improving day by day.

[0003] For example, not only the usual method of memorizing and inputting a previously set password, but also adding an OTP (One Time Password) authentication device to input a new password every time of entry / exit, and using wireless communication terminals such as NFC, Bluetooth (registered trademark), and WiFi to open and close. Various access security systems have been developed.

[0004] A technology for enhancing security through real-time communication and password generation and change between a mobile terminal such as a smartphone and a server in such a digital door lock system is disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2017-0116888.

[0005] FIG. 1 is a simple configuration diagram of a digital door lock system according to the prior art. The digital door lock system (100) is composed of a mobile terminal (110), a management server (120), and a door lock (130).

[0006] The mobile terminal (110) is a wireless terminal equipped with a wireless Internet communication function such as 3G, 4G (LTE), Wi-Fi, etc., and a short-range wireless communication function such as BLE, iBeacon (registered trademark), RFID, etc. It receives a user codebook containing a number of passwords with different coordinate information from the management server (120) through user authentication, and can transmit the password based on the coordinate information requested by the door lock (130) to the door lock (130) using the user codebook.

[0007] User authentication is performed by the management server (120) to register the door lock information of the reserved guest room in the mobile terminal (110) through the dedicated application of the mobile terminal (110) when the user makes a reservation at the accommodation facility. When the authentication is completed, the user codebook is transmitted from the management server (120) to the mobile terminal (110).

[0008] The codebook contains a number of passwords that are different from each other, and each password can have different coordinate information. For example, when the coordinate values range from 00 to 99, each coordinate value corresponds to a different password value, and it can contain 100 different passwords.

[0009] Here, it is not to limit the number of passwords stored in one codebook, and the size of the codebook can be adjusted according to the security level for use.

[0010] The door lock (130) simultaneously requests a number of passwords assigned to arbitrary coordinates of the already stored administrator codebook from the mobile terminal (110), and can control the opening and closing of the entrance based on the password response received from the mobile terminal (110).

[0011] In this way, the digital door lock system according to the prior art has the effect of providing a digital door lock system with enhanced security through real-time communication, password generation, and change among the door lock, the mobile terminal, and the server.

[0012] However, the user codebook and administrator codebook according to the prior art are vulnerable to hacking, so security is not only somewhat vulnerable, but also vulnerable to obtaining administrator privileges, and anyone can arbitrarily change the password.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0013] In order to improve the problems of the prior art, the present invention provides an interlock setting method by door lock administrator authority that sets interlocks such as re - setting the password of the door lock only through a smart device that has obtained door lock administrator authority through setting the administrator password.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0014] The interlock setting process by door lock administrator authority for achieving the object of the present invention is an interlock setting method by door lock administrator authority for managing a door lock through a door lock management application of a smart device that interlocks with a server. The smart device includes: a first process of downloading and installing the door lock management application through the server; a second process of requesting pairing with the door lock searched by wireless communication through the door lock management application; a third process of inputting an administrator password in response to a password input request of the door lock to activate administrator authority; and a fourth process of pairing the door lock management application and the door lock with the administrator authority.

[0015] Here, the door lock performs wireless data transmission and pairing with the smart device through a built - in wireless communication module, and generates password re - setting or door opening / closing control data by administrator authority through a door lock control module built in along with the data received from the smart device through the wireless communication module.

[0016] Also, in the third process, the door lock administrator authority is the administrator registered with the ID and password in the server. To obtain the administrator authority, after a user registered in the server logs in, the administrator authority can be obtained only by inputting the administrator password that has already been set in response to a request to input the administrator password of the door lock. The initial administrator password is generated using the general password of the door lock, which is characterized in that.

[0017] The general password is the password given at the time of door lock product shipment or the password reset by the user using this. The administrator password is the password generated only once using the general password. The initially generated administrator password can be changed and deleted only by the administrator's settings thereafter. The server and the door lock are interlocked only through the administrator password, which is characterized in that.

Effects of the Invention

[0018] The interlock setting method using the door lock administrator authority according to the present invention gives the administrator authority only with the administrator password for the interlock setting of the door lock, and sets the interlock of the door lock only through the door lock management application that has received the administrator authority. Therefore, it is possible to prevent unauthorized persons other than the administrator from setting the interlock such as the password of the door lock, and there is an effect of improving the security of door lock management.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0020] The features and effects of the present invention described above will become more apparent through the following detailed description in connection with the accompanying drawings, whereby those having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention pertains can easily implement the technical idea of the present invention.

[0021] The present invention can be subjected to various modifications and can have various forms. Specific embodiments will be exemplified and described in detail in the text.

[0022] However, this is not intended to limit the present invention to the disclosed form, and it should be understood to include all modifications, equivalents, or alternatives included in the spirit and technical scope of the present invention.

[0023] The terms used in this application are merely used to explain specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0024] A schematic configuration diagram of a door lock system for interlock setting by door lock administrator authority according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, including a digital door lock (210) that can be opened and closed with a password input through wireless communication, a smart device (220) installed with a door lock management application and used to manage interlock settings such as password reset for the door lock (210) with administrator authority, and a server (230) that provides the door lock management application to the smart device (220) and registers and provides it when resetting the password.

[0025] Here, when the door lock (210) is used in the IoT mode, it includes a wireless communication module (211) that performs wireless data transmission and pairing with the smart device (220), and a door lock control module (212) that generates password reset or door opening / closing control data with administrator authority based on the data received from the smart device (220) through the wireless communication module (211).

[0026] The wireless communication module (211) is a communication module that can be used not only in smartphones capable of communicating at short or long distances, such as wireless Internet (WiFi), Bluetooth (registered trademark), NFC, etc., but also in an environment where communication can be performed in IoT mode at a long distance like the cloud. When the wireless communication module (211) uses wireless Internet, the state of the door lock (210) can be monitored or turned on / off by a smart device even outside through a gateway installed indoors.

[0027] The method for linked setting by the door lock administrator authority using the door lock system configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 4 of the attached drawings as follows.

[0028] First, referring to FIG. 3, the door lock system according to an embodiment of the present invention can be selectively used in a single-use mode or an IoT use mode.

[0029] In the case of the single-use mode, the initial password is usually the general password '1234' given during the manufacturing process, and this can be used to change to a new general password at any time.

[0030] At this time, it can be operated only in the user mode without generating an administrator password.

[0031] If it is used in the administrator mode, the administrator password is generated using the general password, and this is limited to being possible only for the first time.

[0032] In the administrator mode, the generated administrator password can be used to change to a new administrator password at any time, and it can be linked with the door lock management application (221) of the smart device (220) to be controlled later through the administrator password.

[0033] Referring to FIG. 4, the process of granting administrator privileges and settings and the IOT usage mode will be described in detail using the door lock management application (221) of the smart device (220) as follows.

[0034] The smart device (220) connects to the server (230) to download and install the door lock management application (221).

[0035] The door lock management application (221) sets an ID and password to log on.

[0036] The smart device (220) searches for the wirelessly connectable door lock (210) through the door lock management application (221), generates an administrator password by inputting the set general password of the searched door lock (210), and connects to the door lock management application (221) through the generated administrator password.

[0037] Here, the general password is either the first password given during the manufacturing process or a password set by the user using this. The administrator password is a password generated only once using the general password. The initially generated administrator password can only be changed and deleted by the administrator's settings hereafter. The administrator uses the generated administrator password to maintain administrator privileges with the door lock (210) through the door lock management application (221).

[0038] For example, the general password may be the first password '1234' given during the manufacturing process, or the user may have changed the general password '1234' to any other general password and is using it. If the administrator password has never been generated using the general password, it can be generated at any time. However, if the current general password is unknown, the administrator password cannot be generated.

[0039] If the door lock is used in the standalone mode instead of the IoT mode, a general password assigned at the time of the door lock product shipment with administrator privileges is used to generate an administrator password, but generation is allowed only once initially, so as to enhance the security level.

[0040] When the administrator password set in this way is requested by the smart device (220) to request administrator privileges for the door lock (210), an administrator password input is requested, and administrator privileges are granted when the input administrator password matches.

[0041] Regarding the granting of administrator privileges for the door lock (210) in more detail, the wireless communication module (211) of the door lock (210) checks whether the password data transmitted by the smart device (220) matches the administrator password stored in the door lock control module (212), and then grants administrator privileges.

[0042] At this time, for the granting of administrator privileges for the door lock (210), it is necessary to input the administrator password registered using the general password, or the administrator himself / herself changes the administrator password generated through the general password only once initially and inputs the currently registered administrator password for the door lock (210).

[0043] Also, only one user with administrator privileges is allowed, and other users are not permitted. Therefore, in order to obtain administrator privileges, not only must the door lock (210) not be connected to the door lock management app (221), but also the current administrator password assigned to the door lock (210) must be known, otherwise administrator privileges cannot be obtained, so the security level can be enhanced.

[0044] Through such a process, the administrator who registers the administrator password and obtains the administrator authority pairs with the door lock (210) with the administrator authority, then registers his own administrator authority in the server (230), and can perform various door lock usage settings such as password reset of the door lock (210), and can manage data such as the battery remaining amount information of the door lock, password error input by other users, or access history.

[0045] That is, the administrator makes an interlocking setting with the door lock (210) with the administrator authority through the door lock management application (221) of his own smart device (220), so that various status values are received from the door lock (210), and various commands are sent to the door lock (210) to perform two-way communication to receive the Pito Pack.

[0046] Although the interlocking setting method according to the door lock administrator authority according to the embodiment of the present invention is described by way of limited embodiments and drawings, it is not limited by this embodiment, and various modifications and deformations can be made within the equivalent scope of the technical idea of the present invention and the claims described below by those having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs.
