A vibration-based authentication method for an access control system includes: collecting vibration signals generated by a built-in vibration motor in an authentication device; filtering, denoising, and performing endpoint segmentation on the collected vibration signals, and extracting vibration signals containing effective touch; performing an alignment on the segmented vibration signals; performing a fast Fourier transform on the aligned vibration signals to obtain frequency-domain data, extracting frequency-domain features obtained after alignment and features obtained before alignment to construct a training data set, and storing the training data set in a database of the authentication device; using a new unlock signal generated when a user touches the authentication device as test data, and processing the test data to obtain test data containing effective touch; and matching and classifying the test data containing effective touch with the training data set by using a machine learning classification model, to obtain an authentication result.

In a door handle sensor system, a door handle device includes an electrostatic sensor to detect the user with respect to a door handle, and a pressure sensor to detect the operating force applied to the door handle. A control device determines whether the position of an operation is in a first end section, a second end section, or a center section of the door handle, and controls an unlatched state based on the determination result and the value detected by the pressure sensor. The electrostatic sensor includes a first electrode including multiple first electrode parts and a second electrode including multiple second electrode parts arranged alternately with the first electrode parts. The first electrode part other than the endmost first electrode part in the first direction and the second electrode part other than the endmost second electrode part in the first direction are arranged in the center section.

A server may communicate with a mobile device and/or a reader device via an Internet connection. The server may be configured to generate a credential and transmit the credential to the mobile device. The mobile device may use the credential in an access control system, a payment system, a transit system, a vending system, or the like.

A control system of a marine vessel includes a portable device and a receiving device. The portable device transmits a switch control signal to the receiving device based on an input operation. The control system of the marine vessel performs an authentication control process based on an authentication signal from the portable device, and controls opening or closing of a current path based on the switch control signal from the portable device.

An elevated smart storage system having a smart lock system and that is formed by a molded enclosure secured to a steel frame structure with support legs. The smart storage system may include a movable door that may further be securely locked by the smart lock system. The smart lock system may be controlled via a mobile or other hand-held device to selectively lock and/or unlock the door. The smart lock system may be an integrated internet of things smart lock that is controllable through Bluetooth® low energy, near field communication or Wi-Fi communication from a mobile or hand-held device. An application on the mobile or hand-held device may be used to provide a user interface and control of the smart lock system.

An access system for an object with a transmission unit arranged in the object and a transponder unit arranged in a portable device. The transmission unit emits request signals at regular intervals. The transponder unit, in response to a triggering event, stores a current position of the object and determines its own position at regular intervals. The transponder unit deactivates the transmission unit when the transponder unit detects, based on the determined position, that the transponder unit has left a first zone, wherein the first zone is arranged around the object, and wherein the transmission unit does not emit any request signals while the transmission unit is deactivated. The transponder unit furthermore activates the transmission unit when the transponder unit detects, based on the determined position, that the transponder unit has entered an adjusted first zone, wherein the adjusted first zone is arranged around the object.

An information processing apparatus, comprises a storage configured to store two or more electronic keys corresponding to two or more locking-unlocking apparatuses, respectively; and a controller configured to perform selection of an electronic key to be used, from among the two or more electronic keys, and transmission of the selected electronic key to a corresponding locking-unlocking apparatus of the two or more locking-unlocking apparatuses.

The invention relates to a handheld transmitter having an energy store, a motion sensor for detecting a movement of the handheld transmitter, and a transmission/reception unit for establishing a wireless connection to an electrically actuable portable lock, wherein the handheld transmitter can be switched over between a manual mode in which the connection establishment can only be triggered by the actuation of an actuation element by a user and an automatic mode in which the connection establishment can be triggered by a movement of the handheld transmitter. A further subject of the invention is a locking system comprising such a handheld transmitter and an electrically actuable portable lock. The invention additionally relates to a method of unlocking an electrically actuable portable lock by means of a handheld transmitter.

An access system for an object with a transmission unit arranged in the object and a transponder unit arranged in a portable device. The transmission unit emits request signals at regular intervals. The transponder unit, in response to a triggering event, stores a current position of the object and determines its own position at regular intervals. The transponder unit deactivates the transmission unit when the transponder unit detects, based on the basis of the determined position, that the transponder unit has left a first zone, wherein the first zone is arranged around the object and wherein the transmission unit does not emit any request signals while the transmission unit is deactivated. The transponder unit furthermore activates the transmission unit when the transponder unit detects, based on the determined position, that the transponder unit has entered an adjusted first zone, wherein the adjusted first zone is arranged around the object.
