Development of electronic lock

development process

The so-called smart lock is electronic technology, integrated circuit design, a large number of electronic components, combined with a variety of innovative identification technologies (including computer network technology, built-in software cards, network alarm, lock mechanical design) and other integrated products .

Study on electronic locks from the 1930s began, in some special places has long been used. Key volume (the amount of code) great electronic lock can be used in conjunction with a mechanical lock and key is generic and can be avoided by leaving a security risk. Electronic lock just remember a password, without carrying metal key, eliminating the worry that people carrying metal keys, thus more and more people appreciate. After the 1980s, with the advent of electronic lock ASIC, electronic lock volume reduction, improved reliability, high cost, it is suitable for use in high security requirements of the occasion, and the need to have the power to provide energy use it is also limited to a certain range, difficult to spread, so it has no significant research progress.

In the 1990s, the United States, Italy, Germany, Japan, Canada, South Korea and the development of China's Taiwan, Hong Kong and other places of microelectronics technology advances and communication technologies to provide a lock technical support to drive locks to practical stage applications. By the early 21st century, in Western countries, the electronic code lock technology is relatively advanced, full range, electronic locks have been widely used in smart access control systems, making it more reliable and more secure management realized the door.

China in the early 1990s began to lock a preliminary exploration. So far, with the development of electronic technology and information technology, technical field of electronic locks has developed very mature. From a technical level and degree of market acceptance of the early 20th century, the most widely used electronic keyboard lock, the products are mainly used in safes, safe and treasury, as well as some used in safe and armored car. In other technical areas as well as remote control of electronic locks and card-locks and the like.

Because of this "live and grow, carry" the "key" to highlight the advantages, so the lock quickly spent less stable performance, expensive initial stage, becoming more and more practical, more and more "feature ", was widely welcomed. Today, the rapid development of biometric technology, in addition to the price factor and the size of the volume there are factors on the popularity of the restrictions, biometric electronic locks in the financial industry outlook is widely optimistic. Because of numbers, characters, graphics, images, biometric and time elements can become the key to electronic information, the combination of these information enables electronic locks which are highly confidential. Information is also possible to use a combination of electronic anti-theft locks obtained endless possibilities for expansion, product diversification.

Beginning of the 21st Century. Contactless card technology is mature, low prices, applications are more widely; contactless cards hidden, convenient, great come from behind the trend. Storing large amount of information is an advantage card, which not only as a key, also included a number of personal information, especially for the financial industry focus on "positively identified" the industry characteristics, and a multi-purpose card (such as entry, lock, storage, pay etc.) brings the convenience of the cardholder. The use of such electronic locks, require careful storage card (ie key), especially the loss of the card authorization must be canceled as soon as possible.

Early 2000s, in Western countries, password lock technology is relatively advanced, full range, electronic locks have been widely used in smart access control system to achieve the door through a variety of management more secure, reliable technology. In our country is still in the overall level locks internationally about the 1970s, the cost is also high electronic locks, electronic locks on the market is still the main key, push-button electronic key card locks and has introduced international advanced level. But the domestic self-developed electronic lock, the market structure has not yet formed, the application is not widespread. Many domestic enterprises have also introduced the world's advanced technology, the development prospects are very impressive.

Smart locks replace mechanical lock is an inevitable trend, we have reason to believe that intelligent locks its unique technical advantages, led the Chinese lock industry to get better development, so that more people are more at ease in more occasions , it makes more secure our future.
