Abstract
An electronic device used for unlocking a locking device is disclosed. The electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention may comprise: a communication module for transmitting an unlock signal; and a processor which performs authentication with respect to a user so as to unlock a locking device, changes, after the user is authenticated, a valid time configured for a first key selected among one or more keys registered on an application, and transmits the unlock signal, including information on the changed valid time and information on the first key, via the communication module. Other various embodiments are also possible.
Claims18
An electronic device comprising:
- a communication module;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- identify a first key from among at least one key registered in the electronic device;
- perform authentication with respect to a user to unlock a locking device;
- identify a first time resulting from adding a preset time to a time at which the user is authenticated;
- in response to identifying that the first time is earlier than an initial valid time of the first key, change the valid time of the first key to the first time;
- and
- transmit an unlocking signal comprising information about the changed valid time and information about the first key through the communication module to unlock the locking device.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program to be executed on a computer,
- wherein the program comprises executable instructions that cause, when the processor to:
- identify a first key from among at least one key registered in an electronic device;
- perform authentication with respect to a user to unlock a locking device;
- identify a first time resulting from adding a preset time to a time at which the user is authenticated;
- in response to identifying that the first time is earlier than an initial valid time of the first key, change the valid time of the first key to the first time;
- and
- transmit an unlocking signal comprising information about the changed valid time and information about the first key through a communication module included in the electronic device to unlock the locking device.
A method of unlocking a locking device in an electronic device, comprising:
- identifying a first key from among at least one key registered in the electronic device;
- performing authentication with respect to a user to unlock a locking device;
- identifying a first time resulting from adding a preset time to a time at which the user is authenticated;
- in response to identifying that the first time is earlier than an initial valid time of the first key, changing the valid time of the first key to the first time;
- and
- transmitting an unlocking signal comprising information about the changed valid time and information about the first key through a communication module included in the electronic device to unlock the locking device.
