Method for operating an electromechanical locking device

A method for commissioning an electromechanical locking device at a location,

• wherein the locking device comprises an electronic identifier,
• and wherein the method includes the following steps:
• a. receiving a location-specific user input by way of a device for defining the location;
• wherein the receipt takes place by performing the location-specific user input on the device,
• b. assigning the electronic identifier to the defined location to form an ID location assignment,
• c. subsequently sending the ID location assignment by the device to a computing unit, wherein the method further includes the following steps:
• i. receiving location- and/or lock system-specific authorisation information from the computing unit by the device,
• ii. then receiving authorisation information by the locking device,
• wherein step i. takes place after step c,
• wherein the authorisation information contains location- and/or lock system-specific encryption information,
• wherein a key is used as part of the method,
• wherein the authorisation information, which the locking device receives, corresponds to the authorisation information, which the device receives from the computing unit, or wherein the authorisation information, which the locking device receives, is modified in the device and/or in the key, wherein the authorisation information is sent to the key and is then sent, modified or unmodified, wired or wirelessly, from the key to the locking device.
