Lock Control Device Adaptive Right Determination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lock control devices lack the ability to adaptively determine the rights set for each communication terminal with respect to the functions of a lock control device, leading to inadequate permission determination for process requests received from communication terminals.
Innovation Solution
A lock control device equipped with circuitry to receive key information and process requests from communication devices, where the key information includes authorization and identification information, enabling adaptive determination of permission based on the received key information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the same right is set in the key data independent of the portable device, then the key data structure is simple, but the lock control device cannot make different determinations as to whether a request from each portable device is permitted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making the right settings specific to each portable device through inclusion of device identification information (IMEI, MAC address, or serial number) in the key data. This allows different rights to be assigned to different devices while maintaining a consistent overall data structure, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity.
2Reliability
If key data includes device identification information and device-specific rights, then adaptive permission determination is achieved, but the key data structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the key data into distinct fields: device identification information (IMEI, MAC address, or serial number) and right settings. This segmentation allows the system to maintain structured, manageable data while achieving reliable device-specific permission determination, addressing the contradiction between reliability and complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the lock control device determines rights based on key information including identification information, then each communication terminal gets adaptive rights, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-storing key information (including device identification and rights) in the lock control device before actual operation. When a request arrives, the device simply retrieves the pre-stored key information for the specific device, avoiding complex real-time processing and enabling adaptive rights determination with minimal processing overhead.
