Lock Control Device Vibration Detection Unlocking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lock control systems require users to wait for an extended period when unlocking, as the process is initiated only after a portable device is placed over the electrical lock, leading to increased user waiting time.
Innovation Solution
A lock control device that detects an unlocking request based on vibrations or sounds from a second communication terminal, allowing the unlocking process to begin before the user terminal is placed over the lock, thereby reducing waiting time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If the unlocking process is initiated only after the portable device is placed over the electrical lock, then the security of the locking system is maintained, but the user waiting time is significantly increased
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by detecting the portable device's approach through vibration or sound sensors before the device is physically placed on the lock. This triggers pre-processing of authentication data and preparation of unlocking sequences, so that when the device is placed on the lock, the authentication process is already advanced, significantly reducing user waiting time while maintaining security protocols
2Loss of time
If the unlocking process starts immediately upon device placement, then user waiting time is reduced, but the system cannot verify proper authentication timing
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring the portable device's presence and authentication status throughout the unlocking process. Sensors detect whether the device remains properly positioned on the lock during authentication, and the system adjusts the unlocking sequence based on this feedback, ensuring both rapid execution and authentication reliability by verifying proper device placement throughout the process
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution significantly reduces user waiting time by enabling the unlocking process to start before the user terminal is placed over the lock, improving efficiency and convenience.
Implementation Method 1
the unlocking request is generated, while the first communication terminal has access to the lock control device, based on at least one of a vibration or sound satisfying a predetermined condition
Implementation Method 2
the unlocking request is generated, while the first communication terminal has access to the lock control device, based on at least one of a vibration or sound satisfying a predetermined condition

AI summary
Provided is an information processing apparatus including: a locking control unit configured to execute a first process of processes for causing a locking unit to unlock, on the basis of detection of access of a first communication terminal; and a detection unit configured to detect an unlocking request by a user of the first communication terminal. The locking control unit executes a second process of the processes for causing the locking unit to unlock, when the unlocking request is detected and the first process is completed.
