Abstract:
A smart lock system and method having a smart lock element, a data entry interface element; a mechanically operated power generator such as a dynamo as the sole power source; and an electronic control element. A separate controller is in communication with the smart lock element, only when the dynamo provides power to the smart lock. The controller element constantly receives and store updated key code information from a remote location source. With the providing of the operating energy to the smart lock the electronic control element receives and stores updated key code information from the controller, if any, prior to any unlocking activation of the locking mechanism. The electronic control element compares stored key code information with entered key codes and the locking mechanism is unlocked thereafter with entry of a valid key code corresponding to a key code stored in the electronic control element.

Claim (Index 4):
A method of operation of a smart lock system, with remotely generated constantly changing key codes, for closing and opening a door locked with the smart lock system, by an operator of the lock, comprising the steps of:\n a) providing a smart lock on a door, with the smart lock having an electrically powered key pad for direct entry by the operator of a currently valid key code separately known by the operator, an electronic control element, and a manually operationally accessible mechanically operated dynamo as a sole power source for the smart lock; b) providing a controller element separate and remote from the smart lock and configured to be in data transmission communication with the smart lock only upon powering of the smart lock with the dynamo, wherein the controller element is configured to receive constantly changing updated currently valid key code information from a source remote thereto and to transmit the updated currently valid key code information to the smart lock for operational storage in the electronic control element; c) configuring the mechanically operated dynamo to open communication with the controller upon initial activation of the dynamo to provide power, and prior to entry of the currently valid key code, to effect transmission of updated currently valid key code information; and d) completion of powering the smart lock with the dynamo for direct electrically powered entry of a currently valid key code via the electrically powered key pad; and e) electrically powered comparison, by the electronic control element, of the directly entered key code by the operator with the electrically powered key pad, with a stored current key code for the validation thereof and the opening of the door.
