A control system includes a communication unit capable of communicating with a mobile terminal and a device disposed inside a predetermined area, a setting unit that sets, to an enabled state or a disabled state, a first notification function of notifying the mobile terminal of a state of the device using the communication unit, and a control unit that performs a predetermined control using the communication unit when the first notification function is set to the disabled state and the mobile terminal is determined to have moved from the inside of the predetermined area to the outside of the predetermined area.

Access systems in accordance with various embodiments include techniques for mutual authentication between a passenger that has requested a transportation service and a dispatched vehicle for providing the requested transportation service. Passengers will present a two-dimensional (2D) code to a transaction client associated with the vehicle. The dispatched vehicle uses the 2D code to authenticate the passenger and grant access to the transportation service vehicle.

In some implementations, a device may receive an indication of a code associated with granting authenticated access to a door. The device may transmit, to a user device, presentation information to cause an augmented reality image of an input pad to be displayed by the user device, wherein the augmented reality image is displayed over an area of an image of an exterior of the door via a user interface. The device may detect, via a camera device, one or more user inputs to the area of the exterior of the vehicle based on tracking a movement of a user. The device may identify an input code based on the one or more user inputs. The device may perform an action to cause the door to be unlocked based on the input code matching the code.

A locking system is described. The locking system, includes a lock. The lock includes a semi-hard magnet and a hard magnet. The hard magnet is configured to move to open or close the lock, the lock is self-powered using near field communication (NFC), and the lock is digitally controlled using a mobile application.

An electronic lock includes an electric locking unit, a touch panel, and a control module. The control module stores a plurality of touch condition sets which are related to human contact. The control module executes an input scan operation on each touch switch of the touch panel, charges a self capacitor with a scan signal, and charges a mutual capacitor with a driving signal. The control module determines whether an electric change conforms with any one of the touch conditions. Through a structural design of the touch panel and a scan function design of the control module, the electronic lock can more accurately determine whether the touch panel is operated by human touch and can also normally operate in a humid environment.

The invention provides a digital lock (100, 1001, 1002) including at least two magnets. One magnet is a semi hard magnet (310) and the other magnet is a hard magnet (320). The hard magnet (320) is configured to open or close the digital lock (100, 1001, 1002). The semi hard magnet (310) and the hard magnet (320) are placed adjacent to each other. A change in magnetisation polarisation of the semi hard magnet (310) is configured to push or pull the hard magnet (320) to open or close the digital lock (100, 1001, 1002).

The invention provides a digital lock including at least two magnets. One magnet is a semi-hard magnet and the other magnet is a hard magnet. The hard magnet is configured to move to close the digital lock in the event of malicious attack, blocking the intruder thereby the magnets acting as a blocking pin, and the mechanical and/or electromagnetic energy of the attack is configured to move the hard magnet to seal the digital lock from the intruder.

A method for securing and/or locking an object, and a related system, the method including introducing into a key receiver a metal key element that is provided along its longitudinal direction at least in part with at least one first code, reading of the at least one first code by at least one reader unit in the key receiver, rotating the at least one metal key element in and in relation to the key receiver by a user, therein producing a relative rotary movement, detecting the relative rotary movement, converting the relative rotary movement as detected into a display signal that is variable with rotation, communicating the display signal to a display, interactively setting a further code on the display by the user, by rotating the at least one metal key element, and actuating the securing and/or locking and unlocking of the object in dependence on the further code.

The invention provides a magnetic actuator (100, 1001, 1002) including at least two magnets. One magnet is a semi hard magnet (310) and the other magnet is a hard magnet (320). The hard magnet (320) is configured to open or close the magnetic actuator (100, 1001, 1002). The semi hard magnet (310) and the hard magnet (320) are placed adjacent to each other. A change in magnetization polarization of the semi hard magnet (310) is configured to push or pull the hard magnet (320) to open or close a digital lock realised with the magnetic actuator 100, 1001, 1002. The magnetic actuator of the invention can also be used to realise a valve.
