Abstract
The invention relates to a method of controlling a locking function in a locking arrangement. The method presented comprises creating (300) a database from predetermined objects; determining (302) at least one user-specific inter-object internal order in the database; detecting (304) a control command for starting the control of the locking function; displaying (306) a predetermined number of objects on the display of the locking arrangement once the control command is detected; detecting (308) the selection order of the objects; and changing (316) the lock state when the detected object selection order is at least sufficiently close to a given user-specific inter-object internal order.
Claims25
A method comprising:
- creating a database from predetermined objects;
- determining at least one user-specific inter-object internal order of the predetermined objects in the database;
- detecting a control command for starting control of a locking function;
- displaying a random subset of the predetermined objects on a display of a locking arrangement once the control command is detected;
- detecting the selection order of the displayed predetermined objects;
- and
- changing the lock state when the detected selection order differs, by a predetermined parameter, from a determined user-specific inter-object internal order.
An arrangement comprising:
- means for creating a database from predetermined objects;
- means for determining at least one user-specific inter-object internal order of the predetermined objects in the database;
- means for detecting a control command for starting control of a locking function;
- a display for displaying a random subset of the predetermined objects once the control command is detected;
- a user interface for detecting the selection order of the objects;
- and
- means for changing the lock state when the detected selection order differs, by a predetermined parameter, from a determined user-specific inter-object internal order.
A method comprising:
- storing a database of predetermined objects in a first device;
- determining at least one user-specific inter-object internal order of the predetermined objects in the database;
- detecting a control command by the first device for starting control of a locking function by detecting a signal from a second device;
- in response to detecting the control command, transmitting a random subset of the predetermined objects to the second device;
- displaying the transmitted random subset of predetermined objects on a display of the second device;
- detecting a selection order of the displayed predetermined objects;
- transmitting the selection order and an identifier of the second device to the first device;
- and
- changing the lock state when the detected selection order differs, by a predetermined parameter, from a determined user-specific inter-object internal order associated with the identifier.
