Abstract
The method and system for access control, comprising detecting, by the electronic lock a tactile action by a body on a tactile sensor. The electronic lock transmitting a first signal using very low frequency band in response to said detection of tactile action through said body. The electronic key fob receives the first electromagnetic signal, where the first signal is transmitted through a body in contact with a transmitter of said first electromagnetic signal i.e. the electronic lock. Further, the electronic key fob transmits a second electromagnetic signal in response to receipt of said first electromagnetic signal. The electronic lock receives the second signal in response to said first signal and disengages or engages a lock in response to said received second signal.
Claims20
A method for access control, comprising:
- detecting a tactile action by a body on a tactile sensor;
- transmitting a first signal in response to said detection of tactile action through said body wherein the first signal is a very low frequency/low frequency (VLF/LF) electromagnetic signal;
- receiving a second signal in response to said first signal;
- and
- disengaging or engaging a lock in response to said received second signal;
- wherein said body acts as an antenna.
An electronic lock, comprising:
- a module for detecting a tactile action by a body on a tactile sensor;
- a module for transmitting a first signal through said body in response to said detection of tactile action to an electronic key fob, wherein the first signal is a very low frequency/low frequency (VLF/LF) electromagnetic signal;
- a module for receiving a second signal in response to said first signal from the electronic key fob;
- and
- a module for disengaging or engaging a lock in response to said received second signal, wherein said body acts as an antenna for transmitting said first signal.
A system, comprising:
- an electronic lock, comprising:
- a module for detecting a tactile action by a body on a tactile sensor;
- a module for transmitting a first signal through said body in response to said detection of tactile action to an electronic key fob, wherein the first signal is a very low frequency/low frequency (VLF/LF) electromagnetic signal;
- a module for receiving a second signal in response to said first signal from the electronic key fob;
- and
- a module for disengaging or engaging a lock in response to said received second signal, wherein said body acts as an antenna for transmitting said first signal;
- and
- an electronic key fob, comprising:
- a module for receiving the first signal;
- and
- a module for transmitting the second signal in response to receipt of said first signal.
