A system for credential authentication comprises an interface configured to receive a create indication to create a badge credential representing an employee badge and receive a claim indication from an authentication device to claim the badge credential, and a processor configured to provide the badge credential to the authentication device in response to the claim indication, receive a proof response from the authentication device comprising the badge credential and a lock identifier, validate the proof response using a distributed ledger, and provide a token for unlocking a lock associated with the lock identifier to the authentication device.

A smart door lock system and a control method thereof are proposed. More specifically, in the smart door lock system and the control method thereof, door-lock area information is displayed on an outer side of a door, the door-lock area information including: any one or more pieces of door-lock area state information on states of a door lock area entered through a door lock in which a smart door lock is installed; and door-lock area user information of users who use the door lock area.

A vehicle includes a controller generating a first signal; and a communicator transmitting the first signal to an external server, and receiving a second signal from a smart card storing the second signal, the second signal being generated based on the first signal. The controller authorizes the smart card to control the vehicle based on the first signal and the second signal.

An anti-theft control system includes an electronic key and anti-theft equipment. The electronic key includes a display. The electronic key carries out a first identification step to decide the display whether to show an authentication information related to a user of the electronic key. An image pick-up device of the anti-theft equipment reads the authentication information on the display and determines whether to release the anti-theft state. If the electronic key is lost, a person picking up the electronic key cannot pass the verification of the first identification step and, thus, cannot use the electronic key to control the anti-theft equipment. An anti-theft control method can be carried out using the anti-theft control system.

Method and apparatus are disclosed for a vehicle finder card with a thin film battery. An example includes a finder card and a vehicle. The finder card includes a thin film battery, a mechanical button flush with a surface of the finder card, a passive near field communication module and an active wireless module. The active wireless module broadcasts a wireless message with a command based on a pattern of the button being pressed. The vehicle provides a plurality of audiovisuals alert based on the command in the wireless message.

The present disclosure relates to a slim smart card key for a vehicle and a control method thereof, and improves assembly convenience and product durability by including including the following: a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) to which a plurality of electronic components are soldered, which has a predetermined thickness, and in which a spare key receiving part and a battery receiving part are formed, wherein the spare key receiving part is formed by vertically cutting one side of the PCB and thus is vertically hollow, and the battery receiving part is formed by vertically cutting the other side of the PCB and thus is vertically hollow; a body part which has a spare key entrance hole for inserting a spare key through the spare key receiving part, and a battery entrance hole for inserting a battery through the battery receiving part, and which is injection molded to embrace the PCB while the PCB is inserted into a mold; a spare key settling part which is moved toward the spare key receiving part from above or below the PCB before the body part is injection molded, and then sits on and fixed onto a circumference of the spare key receiving part; and a terminal assembly which is moved in the same direction as that of the spare key settling part before the body part is injection molded, and then sits on and fixed onto a circumference of the battery receiving part.

A card-type smart key includes: a PCB substrate on which components are mounted; and an EMC case which is coupled to the component mounting surface of the PCB substrate, wherein the EMC case is formed by: fixing the component non-mounting surface of the PCB substrate onto a lower plate of a mold after bringing the component non-mounting surface into close contact with the lower plate; covering the component mounting surface of the PCB substrate with an upper plate of the mold, leaving a preset space; and inputting a molding material into the preset space.

An identification device includes a radio-frequency identification (RFID) card, a base member, and a front panel. The RFID card is configured to transmit an identification number. The front panel includes a laser-markable layer. The base member and the front panel are joined to form an assembly in which the RFID card is enclosed.

Novel security clearance delivery assistance system for healthcare providers working in hospitals nationwide that improves patient care by reducing or eliminating the amount of time needlessly wasted by manually presenting security clearance smart cards to the security reader for authentication while transporting patients across hospitals. In life or death situations, which occur routinely in hospitals, quick delivery of patients to destinations such as the operating room could mean life or death. A health care professional's ability to save lives may depend in part on their ability to quickly transport patients through secured areas, which currently require the transporter to stop and authenticate at each doorway. With the likelihood of survival decreasing exponentially as time passes, reducing or eliminating interruptions during transportation will enable healthcare providers more time to perform life saving procedures and dramatically increase the likelihood of survival.

A holder for a mobile telecommunications terminal, in particular a smartphone, has a receptacle for the terminal. The holder has a first locking mechanism by which the smartphone can be locked in the receptacle. There is also described a system for fastening a smartphone to a shopping trolley handle, a base station for accommodating a plurality of holders and a method for fastening a smartphone to a shopping trolley handle.
