Abstract

An intelligent entrance guard unlocking method includes: transmitting electric energy by wireless electromagnetic radiation via a transmit coil; receiving the electric energy via a receive coil; capturing a vein image of a part of a user via a number of small cameras by Infrared scanning technology and filtering noises from the vein image to get a filtered vein image; transmitting a wireless signal containing the filtered vein image to an intelligent entrance guard; comparing the filtered vein image with a predefined vein image; unlocking the intelligent entrance guard when the filtered vein image matches with the predefined vein image and not unlocking the intelligent entrance guard when the filtered vein image does not match with the predefined vein 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 the current transmitter being configured to receive electric energy supplied by the power unit, wherein the current transmitter transmits the electric energy by wireless electromagnetic radiation through the transmit coil;
a first storage unit of the intelligent entrance guard storing a predefined vein 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;
a vein recognition unit coupled to a second storage unit, and configured to capture a vein image of a part of a user via a number of small cameras by Infrared scanning technology and filter noises from the vein image to get a filtered vein image and further store the filtered vein image in the second storage unit; and
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 filtered vein image;
wherein, the wireless receive unit receives the wireless signal, and the first controller is configured to obtain the predefined vein image from the first storage unit and compare the filtered vein image with the predefined vein image, and the unlocking unit is configured to unlock the intelligent entrance guard when the filtered vein image matches with the predefined vein image, and not unlock the intelligent entrance guard when the filtered vein image does not match with the predefined vein image, the first storage unit further stores a predefined identification code, the wireless signal further contains an identification code, and wherein the first controller is further configured to obtain the predefined identification code from the first storage unit, and to compare the identification code with the predefined identification code; the unlocking unit is configured to unlock the intelligent entrance guard when the filtered vein image matches with the predefined vein image and the identification code matches with the predefined identification code.

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, the light controlling unit is configured to control the light emitting unit to emit light with one color when the filtered vein image matches with the predefined vein image and further control the light emitting unit to emit light with another color when the filtered vein image does not match with the predefined vein image.

3. The intelligent entrance guard unlocking system of claim 1 , wherein the unlocking unit is configured to not unlock the intelligent entrance guard when the filtered vein image does not match with the predefined vein 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, the light controlling unit electrically couples the first controller with the light emitting unit, the light controlling unit is configured to control the light emitting unit to emit light with one color when the filtered vein image matches with the predefined vein 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 filtered vein image does not match with the predefined vein 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 first current-stabilizing unit electrically coupled the power unit with the current transmitter, and the first 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 powerless smart key further comprises a second current-stabilizing unit electrically coupled the current receiver with the current convertor, and the second current-stabilizing unit is configured to stabilize current of the received electric energy to prevent the current to exceed a predefined value suddenly.

7. The intelligent entrance guard unlocking system of claim 1 , wherein the powerless smart key further comprises a current convertor electrically coupled the current receiver with the second controller, and the current convertor is configured to convert alternating current of electric energy into direct current so as to power the powerless smart key.

8. 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;
capturing a vein image of a part of a user via a number of small cameras by Infrared scanning technology and filtering noises from the vein image to get a filtered vein image and further storing the filtered vein 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 filtered vein image to the intelligent entrance guard;
obtaining a predefined vein image from a first storage unit of the intelligent entrance guard and comparing the filtered vein image with the predefined vein image;
unlocking the intelligent entrance guard when the filtered vein image matches with the predefined vein image;
not unlocking the intelligent entrance guard when the filtered vein image does not match with the predefined vein image: and
stabilizing current of the power unit to prevent the current to exceed a predefined value suddenly.

9. The intelligent entrance guard unlocking method of claim 8 , 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 filtered vein image matches with the predefined vein image; and
controlling the light emitting unit to emit light with another color when the filtered vein image does not match with the predefined vein image.

10. The intelligent entrance guard unlocking method of claim 8 , wherein the wireless signal further contains the 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 filtered vein image matches with the predefined vein image and the identification code matches with the predefined identification code; and
no
