Nest Tech (India) Private Limited, a company incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, having its registered office at 803, Raheja Arcade, Sector 11, CBD Belapur, Navi Mumbai 400 614, Maharashtra, India, the following specification describes the nature of the invention and the manner in which it has to be performed :
This invention relates to a locking system operated by Telephone devices like Telephone/cellular phone and Full Functioned R.F. Remote Controller. Locking System of this type may be used at premises where the user of the locking system may opt to remain absent and may still want to exercise control over the operation of the locking system.
In case of traditional electronic locks the locking devices are keyboards, which can be easily bypassed by opening the lock wiih a hardware key provided therewith. However the hardware key provided therewith increases the risk of theft. As a duplication of the hardware key can be made easily by a locksmith. And also as the electronic lock is mounted on the door it can be easily damaged rendering the whole system inoperative without any backup solution like raising an alarm etc. The other electronic locks available is Access Card Lock which though guarantees non piracy of the Access Card leaves itseff open to possibility of the Card getting stolen/lost and then being misused. There is also available a locking system which is a microprocessor based electronic device which generates a number of passwords and if any password matches the password of this lock it automatically opens.

In foreign countries there are also centrally operated computer locks. These can be accessed/opened by an operator from the computer. If however the
computer is left on by mistake the lock leaves itself open to any other unauthorized person.
As also for the Voice Interactive Lock which can be operated by the call of a name or any other word already fed. However anybody imitating the user can open this lock or if the user has a sore throat this lock becomes inoperative.
The latest in the locking devices is the Scanning/Imaging Locks, which can be opened with the impressions of thumb/feet/fingers/eye retina etc. However the scanner may be damaged rendering the whole device inoperative.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to the invention when user dials password for opening the lock, he will enter the password through the keypad provided on Telephone/cell phone which are DTMF (Dual Tone Multiple Frequency) i.e. each digit is encoded with a particular frequency. Now DTMF decoder further decodes these DTMF signals, which convert the DTMF codes into binary numbers, which can be further processed by the Microcontroller, as the Microcontroller only, accepts binary number. Thereafter this Microcontroller can give instructions to open or close the lock. For opening the lock, the Microcontroller will send positive pulse to the Driver Circuit After which the Driver Circuit will connect the positive supply to the motor through the relay. For closing the lock, Microcontroller will send the negative pulse to Driver Circuit. After which the Driver Circuit will operate the relay & relay will reverse the voltage polarity to the motor, so that the motor operates in the reverse direction & the plunger coupled with the motor will move the plunger into the lock.

Typically the Tele Lock according to the present invention has the following
functions:
I) Initial Settings
1. Set the password.
2. Set the address.
3. Set the Telephone numbers.
Initial Dial Up process for Voice Message Menu.
The User will lift the handset. Now that he wishes to set the password for Tele LocL He will dial the Telephone number of location where the Tele Lock is installed. After receiving the ringing tone the Tele Lock will get into the wakeup
mode from sleep mode. Thereafter the User will have to press the digits 786 for
bringing lock in picture. Digits 7,8 and 6 are received & converted in 4 bit binary
numbers. Then the CPU will check these digits as to whether they are correct or
not, if the digits are correct the CPU will fetch digitized voice message menu data
from ROM to the Random Access Memory (RAM) & convert in analog & send it
to the analog signal amplifier. This analog signal is fed to the Telephone line.
Pursuant to that through the Telephone line, it reaches to user. The messages
emitted are as follows:
"Presently Tele Lock is locked"
"Press 1 to open or close the Tele Lock"
"Press 2 to change the password"
"Press 3 if you have forgotten the password"
"Press 4 to change the Telephone numbers"
"Press 5 for change the address."
"Press 6 to repeat the voice messages"
"Press 0 to exit from Tele Lock system"
the above Voice Message Menu will be repeated every time the User wishes to
operate the Tele Lock. Thus in the further explanation we will not repeat the above
process. All the above functions are now explained one by one as follows.
1. Set the password.
This operation can be performed either a) Telephone or b) Cellular Phone. By using the Telephone/ Cellular Phone, the user will follow the Initial Dial Up process for Voice Message Menu. By default the password is set as 0000 0000. For setting a new password the user will press digit 2 & the sign # (below the digit 9). The digit & the # sign are in DTMF (Dual Tone Multiple Frequency) Format & are transmitted to the Tele Lock through the telephone line. In the lock, the DTMF Receiver converts the transmitted DTMF tones for 2 and the sign # into 4 bit
password. In this program CPU will fetch Digital Voice Data from Random Access Memory & send it to Digital Analog Converter (DAC) and the DAC will convert it into the analog voice signal which will then be amplified by Analog Signal Amplifier. This Amplified Voice Signal is fed to the Telephone line through the Telephone Interface Circuit, which interfaces Controller Circuit to high voltage telephone line (48 Volts). This voice message heard by the user would be "Please enter your current password." Now user will have to enter the default password 0000 0000#. This password is received by DTMF receiver & converted in 4-bit binary & sent to CPU. The CPU will compare it with the default password stored in Flash ROM. If it matches, CPU will send another voice message" Enter new password" by the same way as described above. Now user will have to enter the new password. Suppose he enters the password 12345678#, again DTMF receiver will convert it into 4 bit binary number & send to CPU. The CPU will now send this digital Password to the Flash ROM. For conformation the CPU will send one more message " Enter password again" & by the same way as explained above it will reach the user. The user will again enter 12345678#, the same password and the CPU will finally store it in Flash ROM & send one more Voice Message to the user "enter keyword incase you have forgotten your password." Now user have to enter 4 digit keyword suppose 1234#, CPU will store this keyword in the Flash ROM. Now CPU will send last messages to user "Password is successfully stored" & " Thank you & have a nice time." Now for exit from the system the user will have to press the digit 0 and the sign #. Thereafter the CPU will get the information that it has to exit from this part of program and the CPU will go in the idle/sleep mode. Now user will put down the receiver.
2. Set the Address.
This operation can be performed either by a) Telephone or b) Cellular Phone. By using the Telephone/ Cellular Phone, the user will follow the Initial Dial Up process for Voice Message Menu. Now the user has just set password. For setting the Address he will press the digit 5 & the sign #. The digit & the sign are in DTMF (Dual tone multiple frequency) Format & transmitted to the CPU through
the Telephone lines. In the Tele Lock the DTMF receiver convert the digit and the sign entered into 4 bit binary format & thereafter sends the same to the CPU. The CPU will compare it with the digits stored in the Flash Memory & will run the part of the main program for setting the address. In this program CPU will fetch Digital Voice Data from the RAM & send it to DAC. The DAC will convert it in analog voice signal & amplify it by Analog Signal Amplifier. This amplified voice signal is fed to the telephone line through the Telephone Interface Circuit, which interfaces the Controller Circuit to the high voltage telephone line. The voice message heard by the user is "Please enter your current password." thereafter the user will have to press current password 1234 5678#. This password is received by DTMF receiver & converted in 4-bit binary & then sent to CPU, The CPU will compare it with the current password stored in Flash ROM. If it matches, the CPU will send another voice message Le. "Announce your address after end of the beep sound." Now user will have to announce his name & address in his own voice. This voice signal is now received by the Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) through telephone line Interface Circuit, which converts high voltage signals to lower voltage, signals. This Digitized Voice Signal will now be stored in the Flash ROM. This name & address can be recorded for as long as 3 - 4 minutes. After completion of the address announcemem, the user has to press # for conformation of end of message. After storing Voice Data in the Flash ROM, the CPU will send two more messages to the user 1) " Your address is successfully stored" & 2) " Thank you and have a nice time". Now for exit from the system the user will have to enter the digit 0 and the sign #. Now the CPU will get information that it has to exit from that part of program. Thereafter the CPU will now go in idle/sleep mode. Now user has to put down the receiver.
3. Set Telephone Numbers.
This operation can be performed either by a) Telephone or b) Cellular
Phone. By using the Telephone/Cellular Phone the user will once again follow the
Initial Dial Up process for Voice Message Menu. Now for setting the Telephone
Numbers to which the system will emit alert messages, he will enter the digit 4 &
sign #. The digit 4 & the sign # are in the DTMF (Dual Tone Multiple Frequency) Format & transmitted to CPU through the Telephone lines. In the Tele Lock the DTMF Receiver will convert it into 4 bit binary format & send the same to the CPU. The CPU will check it & then run the part of main program for setting the Telephone Numbers. In this program CPU will fetch Digital Voice Data from RAM & send it to DAC. DAC will convert it in analog voice signal & amplify it with the help of Analog Signal Amplifier. This Amplified Voice Signal is fed to the telephone line through the Telephone Interface Circuit, which interfaces the Controller Circuit to high voltage telephone line. This Voice Message heard by user "Please enter your current password." Now User will enter the current password 1234 5678#. This password received by DTMF receiver is converted in 4 bit binary & sent to CPU. The CPU will thereafter compare it with the current password stored in Flash ROM. If it matches, the CPU will send another voice message "Enter first Telephone number". Now the user will have to enter the first Telephone number of his preference. Suppose he enters 4404444# as first Telephone number. This Telephone number is also received by DTMF receiver & converted in 4 bit binary numbers for each digit. These binary numbers are send to CPU. CPU stores it in the Flash ROM. Thereafter the CPU will send another message to the User " First Telephone number is stored successfully." This message gives conformation of storage of first Telephone number. The CPU will then send another message "Enter second Telephone number" Now user have to follow the same procedure as mentioned aforesaid to enter second Telephone number. After the whole abovementioned process is completed the CPU will send another message " Second Telephone number is successfully stored" & thereafter another message "Enter third Telephone number" For third number also the user has to follow the same procedure as for first and the second telephone number. Finally CPU sends the two messages "Third telephone number is successfully stored" & " Thank you and have a nice time" Now for exit from the system the user will have to enter the 0#. Now CPU will get information that it has to exit from that part of program. The CPU will now go in the idle/sleep mode. Now the user will put down the receiver.
4. Allow user to change password in case he has forgotten the password.
5. Open the Lock.
6. Close the Lock.
7. Change the password.
8. Change the addresses.
9. Change the Telephone numbers.
4. The present invention allows the user to change password incase he forgets
his password. This operation can be performed either by a) Telephone b) Cellular Phone. By using the Telephone/Cellular Phone, the user will once again follow the Initial Dial Up process for Voice Message Menu. Firstly he will follow Initial dial up process for voice message menu. To allow the user to change password in case he forgets his password, he will enter the digit 3 & the sign #. This digit & sign are in DTMF (Dual tone multiple frequency) Format & are transmitted to CPU through the telephone lines. In the Tele Lock the DTMF receiver converts it in to 4 bit binary format & sends it to the CPU. Then the CPU will then compare it with the digits stored in the Flash Memory & run the part of the main program allowing user to change password in case he forgets his password In this program CPU will fetch Digital Voice data from RAM & send it to DAC. The DAC will convert it in Analog Voice Signal & amplify it by the Analog Signal Amplifier. This Amplified Voice Signal is fed to the Telephone line through the Telephone Interface Circuit, which interfaces Controller Circuit to high voltage telephone line. When the voice message heard by user is "Enter your keyword." Now the user has to enter the keyword 1234#. This keyword is received by DTMF receiver & converted in 4 bit binary & sent to the CPU. The CPU will then compare it with the keyword stored in Flash ROM. If it matches, the CPU will send another message "Enter new password" Now user has to enter the new 8 digit password, suppose he enters 9012 3456#. DTMF receiver will send its 4 bit binary number for each digit to CPU. Then the CPU will store this number in Flash ROM & the CPU will send another
message to the user "Enter password again" for conformation of the new password. Then the user will have to enter the same password once again. When he enters the password again, CPU will store it finally in Flash ROM & send the message asking for keyword. "Enter keyword in case you have forgotten the password." now user have to enter 4 digit key word say 5678#. The CPU will store this keyword in the Flash ROM. Then the CPU sends the final message to user through the DAC, Analog Amplifier Interface Circuit "Password is successfully stored" & " Thank and Have a nice time". Now for exit from the system user have to enter the 0#. Now CPU will get information that it has to exit from this part of program. Then the CPU will go in idle/sleep mode. Now the user will then put down the receiver.
5. Open the lock.
This operation can be performed either by a) Telephone or b) Cellular Phone. By using the Telephone/ Cellular Phone the user will once again follow the Initial Dial Up process for Voice Message Menu. Firstly he will follow Initial dial up process for voice message menu. Now he has just set the password. For setting Address he will press digit 1 & sign #. This digit & sign are in the DTMF (Dual tone multiple frequency) Format & are transmitted to lock through the telephone line. In the lock DTMF receiver converts it in to 4 bit binary format & sends it to the CPU. The CPU will check it & run the part of main program for opening the lock. In this program the CPU will fetch Digital Voice Data from RAM & send it to DAC. The DAC will convert it in analog voice signal & amplify it by the Analog Signal Amplifier. This amplified voice signal is fed to the telephone line through the Telephone Interface Circuit, which interfaces Controller circuit to high voltage telephone line. This voice message will be heard by user "Please enter your current password," Now user have to press current password 1234 5678#. As soon as this password is entered the CPU will receive Binary Numbers from DTMF receiver. Now the CPU will compare the password entered & store in Flash ROM. If it matches, the CPU will send positive voltage to driver circuit of the motor. Driver circuit is used for driving the voltage of 12V DC to DC motor, which is coupled to the plunger of lock through the plastic gears. As soon as driver
circuit gets positive voltage on two digital output lines of the controller, driver circuit will provide 12V DC to the motor. As soon as motor gets the positive 12V DC, it will rotate in clockwise direction so that it will move the plunger inside the lock and as a result thereof the lock will open. As soon as the lock opens, one switch will get operated & will send signal to the CPU. The CPU will get conformation signal for lock opening. As soon as it gets this conformation of lock opening, the CPU will send one message conveying" Tele lock is successfully opened" & the final message "Thank you and have a nice time". Now for exit from the system the user will have to press 0 and #. Now CPU will get information that it has to exit from this part of program. The CPU will now go in the idle mode. Now the user will put down the receiver.
6. Close Lock.
This operation can be performed either by a) Telephone or b) Cellular Phone. By using the Telephone/ Cellular Phone the user will once again follow the Initial Dial Up process for Voice Message Menu. Firstly he will follow Initial dial up process for voice message menu. Now he has just the set the password. For setting the Address he will press digit 1 & sign #. These digit & sign are in DTMF (Dual tone multiple frequency format) & transmitted to lock through the Telephone lines.

9. To change Telephone Numbers.
This operation can be done by either by a) Telephone or b) Cellular Phone, the same procedure is followed as in case of setting the password. The only difference is that for initial settings the user has to enter default values of password, keyword,
etc however for this function the user has to enter the current values of password,
keyword, etc.
Alert message security is also provided in mis lock. It can be
explained by following way:
Three types of alert messages are used.
1. When somebody is trying to cut the plunger.
2. When some body is trying to burn the lock.
3. When some body is trying to break the password
Let us see how this alert message system operates 1. When somebody is trying to cut the plunger
The plunger of the lock is a steel rectangular body with four holes drilled on the inner side of the plunger. One enabled or isolated wire is inserted in this plunger and then a loop is made of the said wire with the object that if ever somebody cuts the plunger to the depth of 2mm-3mm this wire also gets cut. And as this wire is connected to one input line of the micro controller when the wire gets cut, automatically the voltage difference is created at the input line & the CPU gets it as a interrupt signal. As soon as CPU gets this interrupt on its input line it starts to execute its interrupt subroutine. In that subroutine the CPU will send one unique 16 bit serial code to the RF transmitter and the RF transmitter will transmit it towards the Cordless Siren. As soon as the RF Receiver inside the siren receives correct 16 bit code, the Controller inside the siren will send trigger signal on its one output line which is connected to Siren through Relay Driver Circuit Relay will make connection between 12 VDC rechargeable battery to Siren & the Siren will get activated so that the intruder will get engaged to stop this siren or will alternately run away. At the very next moment the CPU will fetch the 3 pre entered telephone numbers, put in the RAM, send first Telephone number to the DTMF transmitter. DTMF transmitter will accept the 4 bit binary number and convert it into DTMF codes & then transmit it to the telephone exchange. Before transmitting to the telephone exchange, the Telephone Interface Circuit will check for dial tone. If it is present, the CPU will give instructions to the DTMF transmitter to transmit
DTMF codes to telephone exchange and as soon as connection is established between lock & the telephone number of the person stored in the Flash ROM. Then the Telephone Interfece Circuit will recognise that coimection is established and then the CPU fetches Digitized Voice Message Data from Flash ROM & will put it in the RAM. Now CPU will send this data to DAC (Digital to Analog Converter). The DAC converts the digital data into Voice Audio Frequency Signal, which is further processed by Audio Signal Processor & amplified by AF Amplifier. This amplified message is "Somebody is trying to cut your lock, Please send help on following location (name) abc, (address) is xyz lane, etc, etc, Mumbai which is the prerecorded address which is passed through the Telephone Line Interface Circuit to the called party through the telephone exchange. This message is repeated 10 times. In this way rest two telephone numbers are also automatically called & the messages are played 10 times for each stored Telephone Number.
2. When somebody is trying to burn the lock
The plunger of the lock is a steel rectangular body. There is one Thermister (heat
i
sensor) which is pasted on the plunger as a heat sensor. So that when ever anybody tries to burn the lock, the Thermister's resistance Mis & as it is connected to one input line of microcontroller, if the heat applied is above 80 *C, then automatically the voltage difference is created at the input line of controller & CPU gets that as a interrupt signal. As soon as CPU gets interrupt signal on its input line it starts to execute its interrupt subroutine. In that subroutine, the CPU will send one unique 16 bit serial code to the RF transmitter. The RF transmitter will then transmit it towards the Cordless Siren. As soon as the RF receiver inside the siren receives the correct 16 bit code, Code Controller inside the siren will send trigger signal on the its one output line which is connected to siren through relay driver circuit The relay will make connection between 12 VDC rechargeable battery and the siren & siren will get activated so that intruder gets engaged in muting this siren or alternatively will run away. At the very next moment the CPU fetch the 3 pre entered telephone numbers, put in the RAM, send first Telephone number to the DTMF Transmitter. The DTMF transmitter will accept the 4 bit binary number and
convert it into DTMF codes & then transmit it to the telephone exchange. Before transmitting to the telephone exchange, the Telephone Interface Circuit will check for dial tone. If it is present, the CPU will give instructions to the DTMF transmitter to transmit DTMF codes to the telephone exchange and as soon as the connection is established between lock & the person stored in the Flash ROM the telephone interface circuit will recognise that the connection is established and then the CPU fetches Digitized Voice Message Data from Flash ROM & will put it in the RAM. Now the CPU will send this data to DAC(Digital to Analog Converter). The DAC converts the Digital Data into Voice Audio Frequency Signal which is further processed by Audio Signal Processor & amplified by AF Amplifier. This amplified message is "Somebody is trying to burn your lock, Please send help on following location (name) abc, (address) is xyz lane,etc, etc, Mumbai" which is the prerecorded address which is passed through the Telephone Line Interface Circuit to the called party through Telephone exchange. This message is repeated 10 times. In this way rest two Telephone numbers are also automatically called & the messages are played 10 times for each stored Telephone number.
3. When somebody is trying to break the password.: When some body enters wrong password three times, CPU will record that a wrong password has been entered three times & the very next moment the CPU will stop playing menu voice message on the current line. After few seconds the CPU will fetch the 3 pre entered telephone numbers and put them in the RAM. Then RAM send the first Telephone number to the DTMF Transmitter. The DTMF Transmitter will accept the 4 bit binary number and will convert it into DTMF codes & then transmit it to the Telephone exchange but before transmitting it to Telephone exchange the Telephone Interface Circuit will check for dial tone. If it is present, the CPU will give instructions to DTMF transmitter to transmit DTMF codes to the telephone exchange. As soon as connection is established between lock & telephone number of the party stored in the Flash ROM, the Telephone Interface Circuit will recognize that the connection is established. Now the CPU
fetches Digitized Voice Message Data from Flash ROM & puts it in the RAM. Then CPU will send this data to DAC (Digital to analog converter) and DAC converts the Digital Data into voice Audio Frequency Signal, which is further processed by Audio Signal Processor & amplified by AF Amplifier. This amplified message "Somebody is trying to break your password" is passed through the Telephone Line Interface Circuit to the called party through the telephone exchange. This message is repeated 10 times. In this way the other two stored telephone numbers are also automatically called & the message is played 10 times for each of the two remaining numbers.
Remote control is also provided for the critical condition when the telephone lines are out of order. In this case user can open or close the lock by simply entering the current password. When the user enters the password from the keypad provided on remote control, its equivalent binary number is encoded by the encoder & fed to RF transmitter. The RF transmitter transmits this data. In the lock, the RF receiver is used for receiving that transmitted data by remote. Thereafter this received data is fed to the CPU through serial input line. Then the CPU will compare this received data with the Password stored in Flash ROM. If it matches, and if lock is previously opened, CPU will send negative voltage to driver circuit of motor. Driver circuit is used to provide driving voltage of 12V DC to DC Motor which is coupled with the plunger of lock through the plastic gears. As soon as driver circuit gets negative voltage on two digital output lines of controller, driver circuit will provide 12 VDC to the motor and as soon as motor gets negative 12Volts DC, it will rotate in anticlockwise direction so that it will move the plunger outside the lock. As a result of which the lock will close and if lock is previously closed, CPU will send positive voltage to driver circuit of motor. Driver circuit is used to for provide driving voltage of 12V DC to DC motor, which is coupled to the plunger of lock through the plastic gears. As soon as driver circuit gets positive voltage on two digital output lines of controller, driver circuit will provide 12 VDC to the Motor. As soon as motor gets +ve 12V DC, it will rotate in clockwise direction so that it will move the plunger inside the lock & as a result of which the lock will open.
Battery backup is also provided for siren & lock. Charger circuit is used to charge the batteries. As soon as mains supply goes off, battery immediately starts to provide power to circuit & siren.
