Abstract

An intelligent entrance guard unlocking method includes: transmitting electric energy of an intelligent entrance guard by wireless electromagnetic radiation via a transmit coil; receiving the electric energy via a receive coil of a powerless smart key; scanning an eye of a user to recognize an iris image of the user and storing the iris image in a second storage unit of the powerless smart key; controlling a wireless transmit unit of the powerless smart key to transmit a wireless signal containing the iris image to the intelligent entrance guard; obtaining a predefined iris image from a first storage unit of the intelligent entrance guard and comparing the iris image with the predefined iris image; unlocking the intelligent entrance guard when the iris image matches with the predefined iris image and not unlocking the intelligent entrance guard when the iris image does not match with the predefined iris image.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An intelligent entrance guard unlocking system comprising:
a power unit of an intelligent entrance guard;
a current transmitter of the intelligent entrance guard electrically coupling the power unit with a transmitter coil, and configured to receive electric energy supplied by the power unit, wherein the current transmitter transmits the electric energy by wireless electromagnetic radiation via the transmit coil;
a first storage unit of the intelligent entrance guard storing a predefined iris image;
a first controller of the intelligent entrance guard coupled to the first storage unit;
a wireless receiver unit of the intelligent entrance guard coupled to the first controller;
an unlocking unit of the intelligent entrance guard coupled to the first controller; and
a powerless smart key comprising:
a receiver coil;
a current receiver electrically coupled to the receiver coil, and configured to receive the electric energy via the receiver coil such that the powerless smart key is powered directly by the received electric energy and then the powerless smart key works;
an iris recognition unit coupled to a second storage unit, and configured to scan an eye of a user to recognize an iris image of the user and further store the iris image in the second storage unit;
a second controller coupled to a wireless transmit unit with the second storage unit and configured to control the wireless transmit unit to transmit a wireless signal containing the iris image;
a current convertor electrically coupling the current receiver with the second controller; and
a first current-stabilizing unit electrically coupling the current receiver with the current convertor, and configured to stabilize current of the received electric energy to prevent the current to exceed a predefined value suddenly;
wherein the wireless receiver unit receives the wireless signal, the first controller is configured to obtain the predefined iris image from the first storage unit and compare the iris image with the predefined iris image, and the unlocking unit is configured to unlock the intelligent entrance guard when the iris image matches with the predefined iris image, and not unlock the intelligent entrance guard when the iris image does not match with the predefined iris image.

2. The intelligent entrance guard unlocking system of claim 1 , wherein the intelligent entrance guard unlocking system further comprises a light controlling unit of the intelligent entrance guard, the light controlling unit electrically couples the first controller with a light emitting unit, and the light controlling unit is configured to control the light emitting unit to emit light with one color when the iris image matches with the predefined iris image, and the light controlling unit is further configured to control the light emitting unit to emit light with another color when the iris image does not match with the predefined iris image.

3. The intelligent entrance guard unlocking system of claim 1 , wherein the first storage unit further stores a predefined identification code, and the wireless signal further contains an identification code, and the first controller is further configured to obtain the predefined identification code from the first storage unit and compare the identification code with the predefined identification code; the unlocking unit is configured to unlock the intelligent entrance guard when the iris image matches with the predefined iris image and the identification code matches with the predefined identification code, and the unlocking unit is configured to not unlock the intelligent entrance guard when the iris image does not match with the predefined iris image or the identification code does not match with the predefined identification code.

4. The intelligent entrance guard unlocking system of claim 3 , wherein the intelligent entrance guard unlocking system further comprises a light controlling unit of the intelligent entrance guard, the light controlling unit electrically couples the first controller with a light emitting unit, and the light controlling unit is configured to control the light emitting unit to emit light with one color when the iris image matches with the predefined iris image and the identification code matches with the predefined identification code, and the light controlling unit is further configured to control the light emitting unit to emit light with another color when the iris image does not match with the predefined iris image or the identification code does not match with the predefined identification code.

5. The intelligent entrance guard unlocking system of claim 1 , wherein the intelligent entrance guard unlocking system further comprises a second current-stabilizing unit of the intelligent entrance guard electrically coupled the power unit with the current transmitter, and the second current-stabilizing unit is configured to stabilize current of the power unit to prevent the current to exceed a predefined value suddenly.

6. The intelligent entrance guard unlocking system of claim 1 , wherein the current convertor is configured to convert alternating current of electric energy into direct current so as to power the powerless smart key.

7. An intelligent entrance guard unlocking method comprising:
transmitting electric energy of a power unit of an intelligent entrance guard by wireless electromagnetic radiation via a transmit coil;
receiving the electric energy via a receive coil of a powerless smart key such that the powerless smart key is powered directly by the received electric energy and then the powerless smart key works;
stabilizing current of the received electric energy to prevent the current to exceed a predefined value suddenly;
scanning an eye of a user to recognize an iris image of the user and further storing the iris image in a second storage unit of the powerless smart key;
controlling a wireless transmit unit of the powerless smart key to transmit a wireless signal containing the iris image to the intelligent entrance guard;
obtaining a predefined iris image from a first storage unit of the intelligent entrance guard and comparing the iris image with the predefined iris image;
unlocking the intelligent entrance guard when the iris image matches with the predefined iris image; and
not unlocking the intelligent entrance guard when the iris image does not match with the predefined iris image.

8. The intelligent entrance guard unlocking method of claim 7 , the intelligent entrance guard unlocking method further comprising:
controlling a light emitting unit of the intelligent entrance guard to emit light with one color when the iris image matches with the predefined iris image; and
controlling the light emitting unit to emit light with another color when the iris image does not match with the predefined iris image.

9. The intelligent entrance guard unlocking method of claim 7 , wherein the wireless signal further contains an identification code, the intelligent entrance guard unlocking method further comprises:
obtaining a predefined identification code from the first storage unit;
comparing the identification code with the predefined identification code;
unlocking the intelligent entrance guard when the iris image matches with the predefined iris image and the identification code matches with the predefined identification code; and
not unlocking the intelligent entrance guard when the iris image does not match with the predefined iris image or the identification code does not match with the predefined identification code.

10. The intelligent entrance guard unlocking method of claim 9 , the intelligent entrance guard unlocking method further comprising:
