Electronic Locking History Management via External Terminal
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic locking devices lack a system for managing and checking the history of electronic key usage, which compromises security management efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A history management system for electronic locking devices that transmits log information from the electronic locking device to an external terminal via the electronic key, allowing managers to efficiently monitor and record key usage history.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If an electronic locking device uses a simple hardware structure without history management, then the device complexity is reduced and manufacturing cost is lowered, but the security management efficiency deteriorates and the ability to track key usage is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an external terminal as an intermediary component that handles history management functions separately from the electronic locking device. The locking device generates log information and transmits it to the external terminal, which stores and manages the history data. This mediator approach allows the locking device to maintain simple hardware structure while achieving reliable security management through the external system.
2Loss of information
If an electronic locking device includes a system for managing and checking key usage history, then security management efficiency is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the history management function from the electronic locking device and places it in an external terminal. The locking device only retains the minimal functionality to generate and transmit log information, while the external terminal handles storage, management, and retrieval of historical data. This extraction resolves the contradiction by maintaining complete key usage history tracking without significantly increasing the complexity of the locking device itself.
