Bike-sharing, how to open the smart lock?

With the popularity of various means of transportation, bicycles have gradually faded out of our lives, but the emergence of bike-sharing has revived the traditional bicycle industry. Smartphone can unlock the bicycle sharing lock in three seconds. You may also think that bike-sharing's technical content is basically in this lock. What's so special about smart locks in bike-sharing?

Intelligent lock is the core component of bike-sharing. As a necessary part, it can not only locate anti-theft, but also be an important source of obtaining big data. It is an application technology of the Internet of Things and a typical "thing".

1, SMS unlock

At first, bike-sharing used SMS as an unlocking signal! It can usually be unlocked successfully within 10 second.

The GSM module in the lock is similar to a mobile phone with a card inserted, and the server responds to unlocking by sending a short message to the bicycle.

Although the speed of SMS unlocking is slow, it has its advantages: it is relatively stable, and it does not need GPRS/3G traffic to unlock, saving power. Saving electricity is very important. If a car is left unattended until it runs out of power and becomes a "zombie car", once this happens, the cost of offline maintenance will be very high.

2.GPRS unlocking

After the improvement, the unlocking mode of bike-sharing is changed to be directly unlocked by the server through GPRS/3G traffic. The unlocking speed is greatly improved, and there is no need to worry about the power problem, which improves the user experience. However, GPRS unlocking depends on the signal, and it is easy to fail in areas with weak signal.

3, GPRS+ Bluetooth unlock

At present, the mainstream bike-sharing unlocking method generally adopts traffic+Bluetooth-assisted unlocking. The server only needs to connect the user's mobile phone with the traffic, and then the mobile phone sends an unlocking instruction via Bluetooth. At the same time, it solves the problems of slow unlocking time, instability and power consumption. The power consumption of unlocking is greatly reduced, and the stability is greatly improved, which does not depend on the signal strength of the locking module.

Falliner Technology Horseshoe Intelligent Lock Function

Although the stability and compatibility of Bluetooth unlocking mode cannot be completely guaranteed. Therefore, traditional and power-consuming unlocking methods (manual password unlocking, GSM short message unlocking or GPRS traffic unlocking) are often reserved as alternatives.

Another important performance of bike-sharing smart lock is real-time accurate positioning. The smart lock developed by Guangdong Falliner Science and Technology supports a variety of unlocking methods, integrates GPS real-time positioning and LBS multiple precise positioning of mobile base stations, and reports alarm information. Its powerful performance makes management easier and user experience smoother.

Fang Jiantao, founder of Guangdong Fana Technology, said that the data between car locks and servers will be more abundant and diversified in the future when talking about the application of the Internet of Things in smart locks. From the aspects of improving user experience and reducing maintenance quantity and cost, real-time communication is the mainstream in the future. The advantage is that it can monitor the position of products in real time and clearly understand the current product status. When the product is damaged, the company can find and solve it at the first time, which is very important for management and improving operational efficiency.
