Abstract
An ID transmitter for authentication on an access control unit of a physical unit. The ID transmitter may include an ID transmitter-BLE interface with an antenna, a microcontroller, a switching apparatus and a battery compartment to accommodate a battery. The microcontroller is arranged, in response to the receipt of the switching signal, to trigger the sending of an authentication signal that includes authentication information, and that is configured as a BLE beacon data packet. A set for assembling an ID transmitter and a system including an ID transmitter and a physical unit are disclosed.
Claims20
An ID transmitter for authentication on a control unit of a physical unit using authorization information transmitted from an ID transmitter, wherein the ID transmitter comprises:
- an ID transmitter-Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface comprising an antenna;
- a microcontroller, coupled with the ID transmitter-BLE interface;
- and
- a switching apparatus, coupled with the microcontroller, for outputting a switching signal to the microcontroller in response to a triggering of the switching apparatus,
- wherein the microcontroller is configured, in response to the receipt of the switching signal on the microcontroller after the triggering of the of the switching apparatus, to trigger the transmission of an authentication signal using the ID transmitter-BLE interface,
- wherein the authentication signal comprises authentication information, and wherein the authentication signal is configured as a BLE beacon data packet.
A system comprising an ID transmitter for authentication on a control unit of a physical unit using authorization information transmitted from an ID transmitter, wherein the access control unit comprises:
- an access control unit-Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface comprising an antenna;
- a control and memory apparatus coupled with the access control unit-BLE interface, wherein the access control and memory apparatus are configured to test the authenticity of an authentication signal received from an access control unit-BLE interface of the ID transmitter, wherein the authentication signal comprises authentication information, and wherein the authentication signal is configured as a BLE beacon data packet
- wherein the authentication information present on the ID transmitter authentication testing information on the control and memory apparatus comprise complementary cryptographic keys.
A kit for use in assembling an ID transmitter for authentication on a control unit of a physical unit using authorization information transmitted from an ID transmitter, wherein the access control unit comprises:
- an access control unit-Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface comprising an antenna;
- a control and memory apparatus coupled with the access control unit-BLE interface, wherein the access control and memory apparatus are configured to test the authenticity of an authentication signal received from an access control unit-BLE interface of the ID transmitter, wherein the authentication signal comprises authentication information, and wherein the authentication signal is configured as a BLE beacon data packet
- wherein the authentication information present on the ID transmitter authentication testing information on the control and memory apparatus comprise complementary cryptographic keys,
- wherein the ID transmitter comprises a first ID transmitter part and a second ID transmitter part configured to be mechanically coupled to each other.
