Electronic lock and a method and system for controlling an electronic lock

A system for controlling an electronic lock when in storage and transport, the electronic lock including a lock body, a locking mechanism for latching and unlatching relative to the lock body for locking and unlocking respectively, a power source, a charging interface for charging the power source, and a controller in communication with the locking mechanism, the power source and charging interface, wherein the system comprises:

• a power source module in communication with the power source and a timing module, wherein the timing module configured to determine a first time duration of power source in the lock body;
• a detection module configured to determine a number of activation and deactivation of the electronic lock, wherein the electronic lock further includes a shackle for latching and unlatching relative to the lock body, wherein the activation is associated with latching of the shackle for locking and the deactivation is associated with the unlatching of the shackle for unlocking;
• a pairing detection module configured to determine a second time duration for a pairing operation between the electronic lock and a control device;
• an operation mode module configured to cause the electronic lock to enter an ultra-low power mode, a wake up mode and a working mode based on the determination of the timing module, detection module and the pairing detection module;
• a controller in communication with the timing module, the detection module, the pairing detection module and the operation mode module, the controller configured to:
• determine if the first time duration of the power source in the lock body meets a first predetermined time duration, wherein if the time duration of the power source meets the first predetermined time duration, the electronic lock enters an ultra-low power mode;
• determine if the number of activations and deactivations of the electronic lock meets a pre determined number of times, wherein if the predetermined number of times are met, the electronic lock enters a wake up mode;
• and
• determine if the second time duration for the pairing operation is completed within a second predetermined time duration, wherein if the second predetermined time duration is met, the electronic lock enters a work mode.
