  • As shown, the control system for a locking device according to the present invention largely includes the electronic locking device 110, a user terminal 120, and a matching server 130.
  • The electronic locking device 110 is installed to lock a given object. That is, the electronic locking device 110 is installed on an appropriate position of an object, such as furniture including drawers, cabinets, and safes, and locker cabinets (storage cabinets) installed on public places like schools, libraries, waiting rooms, fitness rooms and sauna rooms.
  • The electronic locking device 110 has a near field communication module 111 like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and infrared communication module so as to communicate with the user terminal 120.
  • And, the locking device 110 includes a control unit 112, a driving unit 113 and a locking unit 114.
  • The control unit 112 generates a locking state releasing signal if an operation controlling signal is received from the user terminal 120 at which a locking device controlling application 121 as will be discussed later is installed. That is, if the operation controlling signal is received from the use terminal 120, the received operation controlling signal is analyzed by Firmware Software embedded in the control unit 112 to generate the locking state releasing signal.
  • The driving unit 113 is composed of a motor, etc. and generates a given driving force by means of the locking state releasing signal generated from the control unit 112. The motor may be a BLDC (Brushless DC) motor. The BLDC motor has relatively higher efficiency, higher speed, longer life span, lower noise, and easier speed control than general DC motors, thus expecting more stable system building and energy saving effects and reducing the maintenance cost because of less failure like burning damages of motor, etc.
  • The locking unit 114 operates with the driving force generated from the driving unit 113 to release the locking state of the object. For example, as shown in FIG.3, the locking unit 114 has a kind of a plate insertable into a slot formed on the object, and it is rotatably installed in such a manner as to release the locking state of the object according to the rotating degree of the driving unit 113.

Accordingly, the user terminal 120 executes the locking device controlling application 121 and thus transmits an operation controlling signal of the locking device 110, thus controlling the locking device 110.
  • At this time, the user terminal 120 has a near field communication module 122 like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and infrared communication module so as to communicate with the locking device 110. Accordingly, the locking device 110 and the user terminal 120 transmit and receive signals to and from each other in any communication way of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and infrared communication module according to their use environment.
  • The matching server 130 performs relaying for setting a routing connection path between the locking device 110 presenting on local network and external internet. Accordingly, the matching server 130 provides a TCP path communicatable with the locking device 110 by using a locking device identification number stored in the user terminal 120.

  • Next, the electronic locking device installed on an object to be controlled is registered by using the locking device controlling application installed on the user terminal (at step S120).
  • At this time, as shown in FIG.7, if a registration button provided on the locking device of the object is pressed, the locking device is changed into a registerable state (①), and after the registerable locking state is searched by using the application installed in the user terminal 120, the locking device is registered (②). Further, it is possible to perform Wi-Fi AP setting and registration around the locking device (③).
  • Further, as shown in FIG.8, if a first user terminal 120A which have registered the locking device transmits an authentication number to a second user terminal 120B so as to provide authorization to the second user terminal 120B (①, ②). the second user terminal 120B registers the locking device with the received authentication number (③). At this time, the user to which the authorization is provided, that is, the user of the second user terminal 120B cannot authorization.
  • On the other hand, the locking device controlling application installed on the user terminal is executed to transmit the operation controlling signal of the locking device to the locking device (at step S130).
  • Lastly, the locking device releases the locking state of the object by means of the operation controlling signal (at step S140).
  • As described above, according to the present invention, users can conveniently control the locking device installed on the object like a drawer, cabinet, and safe through the locking device controlling application installed on the user's smartphone. Accordingly, security through the smartphone can be extendedly applied to office environments as well as general homes. Further, the security is provided reliably at a lower cost than the conventional practice.
  • Additionally, the locking device can be conveniently controlled even at close range through wireless communication, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and so on, without having internet connection environments. Further, the developing cost for additional functions requested by general customers using the locking device can be reduced. Furthermore, the plurality of locking devices can be controlled remotely, thus allowing an integrated cabinet security management system to be built in an office space of a company.
  • While the present invention has been described with reference to the particular illustrative embodiments, it is not to be restricted by the embodiments but only by the appended claims. It is to be appreciated that those skilled in the art can change or modify the embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
  • Accordingly, the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments but various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined by the following claims.
