Abstract

A kind of method for electronic lock system making the key-following password tidy up immediately after use, in which: a. establish human characteristic sensor and temporary password memory on the main body of the electronic key and data transmission unit of the lock password, lock controlling unit and user's database on the lock main body; b. firstly, human characteristic sensor gathers every user's human characteristic information that can be changed into corresponding authentification code in the producing unit for the password and deposited into the temporary password memory temporarily, meanwhile transported into data transmission unit of the lock password through data transmission unit of the key password; secondly, the password is deposited into the user's database after being registered and confirmed; c. when the human characteristic sensor leaves the human body or the authentification code is conveyed successfully, the temporary password memory is tidied up.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method of instant clearing electronic lock after key-cipher use based on a system comprising an electronic key main body, a lock main body, a lock operation unit, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
 a. providing a human characteristic sensor, a key micro processing unit, a cipher generating unit, a cipher temporary storage unit, and a key cipher data transmitting unit on said electronic key main body;   b. providing a lock cipher data transmission unit, a lock controlling unit, and a user database on said lock main body;   c. collecting every user's human characteristic information by said human characteristic sensor first, generating according cipher by said cipher generating unit, storing said cipher in said cipher temporary storage unit temporarily, transmitting said cipher data to said lock cipher data transmission unit by said key cipher data transmission unit, verifying said cipher's registration, saving in said user database, clearing said temporary cipher storage unit after the human body is disconnected from said human characteristic sensor;   d. collecting user's human characteristic information by said human characteristic sensor when the registered user is using said electronic key main body to open the lock, generating said cipher again by said cipher generating unit, storing said cipher temporarily in said cipher temporary storage unit, transmitting said cipher data to said lock cipher data transmission unit through said key cipher data transmission unit, checking said cipher data on said user database by said lock controlling unit on said lock main body to confirm if there is a same record; and   e. sending command to said lock operation element to open the lock if a same record is found in said database by said lock controlling unit, or delivering a warning message and saving an error message by said lock controlling unit if no same record is found.   
   
   
       2 . The method, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said cipher generating unit comprises a main cipher arithmetic unit and an additional cipher arithmetic unit, wherein the step c also comprises the steps of:
 a. processing human characteristic information to generate multiple bytes main cipher by said main cipher arithmetic unit;   b. recalling additional cipher from said additional cipher arithmetic unit by said key microprocessor unit, combining said main cipher and said additional cipher, storing said combined cipher in said cipher temporary storage unit;   c. checking if the physical body is disconnected with said human characteristic sensor according to the process of operation by said key microprocessor unit, deciding the time delay to clear said cipher temporary storage unit.   
   
   
       3 . The method, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said electronic key main body also comprises a key keypad which is controlled by said key microprocessor unit to collect said additional cipher, store it in said additional cipher arithmetic unit said, and a key display unit which is controlled by said key cipher microprocessor unit to display the operational information. 
   
   
       4 . The method, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said lock main body also comprises a lock keypad which is controlled by a lock microprocessor of said lock controlling unit to input operation command, a lock display unit which is controlled by said lock controlling unit to display operation results and warning message, and a network communication interface unit which is controlled by said lock controlling unit to accept network system command and exchange data with the network. 
   
   
       5 . The method, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the transmission of said cipher data from said key cipher data transmission unit to said lock cipher data transmission unit  90  is realized by a key contact set on said key main body and a lock contact set on said lock main body. 
   
   
       6 . The method, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the transmission of said cipher data from said key cipher data transmission unit to said lock cipher data transmission unit  90  is realized by a key transceiver on said key main body and a lock transceiver on said lock main body. 
   
   
       7 . The method, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said human characteristic sensor includes a finger print sensor, a body temperature sensor, a sweat sensor, or an iris sensor. 
   
   
       8 . An electronic lock system which clears cipher key instantly after the cipher key is used, comprising: an electronic key main body; a lock main body; and a lock operation element, wherein said electronic key main body also comprises a human characteristic sensor, a key microprocessor unit, a cipher generating unit, a cipher temporary storage unit, a cipher data transmission unit, and a key power, wherein said human characteristic sensor is electrically connected with said key microprocessor unit and said cipher generating unit, said cipher temporary storage unit is electrically connected with said cipher generating unit and said key cipher data transmission unit, wherein said lock main body comprises a lock cipher data transmission unit, a lock controlling unit, and a user database, wherein said lock controlling unit is electrically connected with said lock cipher data transmission unit, said user database, and said lock operation element. 
   
   
       9 . The electronic lock system which clears cipher key instantly after the cipher key is used of  claim 8 , wherein said electronic key main body also comprises a key keypad, and a key display unit, wherein said key keypad is electrically connected with said key microprocessor unit, wherein said key display unit is electrically connected with said key microprocessor unit. 
   
   
       10 . The electronic lock system which clears cipher key instantly after the cipher key is used of  claim 8 , wherein said lock main body also comprises a lock keypad, a lock display unit, and a network communication interface unit, wherein said lock keypad is electrically connected with a lock microprocessor of said lock controlling unit; wherein said lock display unit is electrically connected with said lock controlling unit, wherein said network communication interface unit is electrically connected with said lock controlling unit. 
   
   
       11 . The electronic lock system which clears cipher key instantly after the cipher key is used of  claim 8 , wherein said electronic key main body comprises a key contact set which is electrically connected with said key cipher data transmission unit, and said lock main body comprises a lock contact set which is electrically connected with said lock cipher data transmission unit.
