Abstract
A lock including a lock cylinder, at least one sensing module and a processing unit is provided. The lock cylinder is adapted for allowing a unlocking unit to insert therein along an inserting direction. The at least one sensing module detects a movement of the lock cylinder. The processing unit electrically connected to the at least one sensing module. The sensing module generates a sensing signal to the processing unit according to the movement of the lock cylinder.
Claims10
A lock comprising:
- a lock cylinder adapted for allowing an unlocking unit to insert therein along an inserting direction;
- at least one sensing module for detecting a movement of the lock cylinder;
- a processing unit electrically connected to the at least one sensing module, wherein the sensing module generates a sensing signal to the processing unit according to the movement of the lock cylinder, and the processing unit determines whether the lock is normally unlocked according to the sensing signal;
- an alarm unit connected to the processing unit;
- and
- a communication unit coupled to the processing unit, wherein when the sensing signal received by the processing unit meets a preset condition, the processing unit generates a driving signal to enable the alarm unit to output an alarm signal, and a notification message is sent to a remote communication device via the communication unit,
- wherein the movement of the lock cylinder moves along a sensing direction, the sensing direction is perpendicular to the inserting direction, and when the lock cylinder moves along the sensing direction, the sensing module generates the sensing signal to the processing unit,
- wherein the preset condition is when a duration of the sensing signal is equal to or longer than a preset time.
