BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present disclosure. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed disclosure, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Valuable and sensitive items under transit cannot be put under regular surveillance and hence need to be secured from unauthorized access. Electro-mechanical locks may be beneficial to provide security to the items. Existing literatures do not disclose remotely generated one-time password configured to be received by one or more users requesting access to the items, the remote generation of password and verification mechanism being enabled to provide enhanced security against trespassing, vandalism, loot, confiscation and unauthorized tampering. Therefore there is need in the art to develop a system involving activation of electro-mechanical security system using a remotely generated one-time password that is valid for predetermined time duration.
[0004] The proposed system uses one or more sensors to detect malicious activities pertaining to accessing the secured items and requires one or more users to input a one-time password that can be generated by remote processing. Correct entry of the password within a predetermined time frame can enable activation of one or more actuators pertaining to unlocking of an electro-mechanical lock securing the items. Information pertaining to access history corresponding to a predetermined duration may be displayed on one or more output units and also transmitted to one or more remote servers through one or more networks for real-time monitoring and storage.

The reference password may be generated for each authorized access, for each of the one or more users and the passwords may be randomly allocated. The one-time passwords may be generated by random number generator and may have time validity. The reference password may be transmitted by the one or more processors (202) of the remote processing unit (108) to the one or more processing units (108) located at the same physical location as that of the electro-mechanical lock using the one or more networks (106). A copy of the reference one-time password may be transmitted by the one or more processors (202) to the one or more output units (110) of the system (100), the copy of the password being received by the one or more users.

In response to the set of alert signals the one–time password generation/transmission may be disabled and the set of actuation signals may be deactivated. The set of alert signals may be transmitted to one or more alarms that may generate audible, visual and vibratory signals. The set of alert signals may pertain to the set of output signals and may be displayed by the one or more output units (110).
[0066] In an embodiment, the processing engine (208) may include other units (220) that may be configured to that may be configured to implement functionalities that supplement actions performed by the one or more processors (202). In an exemplary embodiment, such actions may include auto calibration of the one or more image sensors (102), updating database (222) when new information is available and the likes.
[0067] As used herein, and unless the context dictates otherwise, the term "coupled to" is intended to include both direct coupling (in which two elements that are coupled to each other contact each other) and indirect coupling (in which at least one additional element is located between the two elements). Therefore, the terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are used synonymously. Within the context of this document terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are also used euphemistically to mean “communicatively coupled with” over a network, where two or more devices are able to exchange data with each other over the network, possibly via one or more intermediary device.
[0068] The terms, descriptions and figures used herein are set forth by way of illustration only. Many variations are possible within the spirit and scope of the subject matter, which is intended to be defined by the following claims and their equivalents in which all terms are meant in their broadest reasonable sense unless otherwise indicated.
[0069] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by the claims that follow. The invention is not limited to the described embodiments, versions or examples, which are included to enable a person having ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention when combined with information and knowledge available to the person having ordinary skill in the art
