As easy as the key to lose the smart lock is it necessary to retain the IC card unlock function?
In fact, IC card unlock can be traced back to the earliest development of the hotel electronic lock era. IC card electronic lock and password electronic lock can be said to be the earliest type of smart lock, and the domestic IC card lock is mainly in the 90 years after the development of domestic hotels gradually popular electronic lock category. Since then, password unlock and IC card unlock has become the most important recognition method of smart lock.
Especially after 1996, the relevant domestic policies require that the hotel without the installation of electronic locks will not be able to participate in the selection of star hotels, the introduction of this policy, domestic electronic locks ushered in an unprecedented opportunity for development, but at that time due to the lack of core technology of domestic electronic lock manufacturers, high-end hotels mostly use imported hotel electronic locks.
And now the home smart lock in full swing is developed on the basis of hotel locks. In 2008, during the Beijing Olympic Games, the early domestic brand engaged in household smart lock - Gold finger code and Probak became the designated products for the Beijing Olympic Games, providing convenience for sports athletes from all over the world.
In addition, the domestic household smart lock industry is gradually being paid attention to. The smart lock industry is ushering in take-off after 2015, home appliances, security, IT, building materials and other industry giants have poured into the smart lock industry, so that smart locks become the most concerned "tuyere" in the field of smart home.
But no matter how the smart lock industry develops, how the product changes, password and IC card identification is always the most important authentication method of smart lock products, which may be inherited from the hotel lock for the sake of. Specifically, the password unlock is still in line with the needs of household smart locks, and the IC card is the product of the hotel lock, which is no longer applicable in the field of household smart locks.
Carrying an IC card is similar to carrying a key, there is a risk of loss or copy - if the elderly carry an IC card is lost, and because the fingerprint pattern is badly worn, or will not use a password to unlock, it is very likely to be rejected, it is better to directly use a mechanical lock. For many users, they do not use IC cards several times a year, and even have never used IC cards since the installation of smart locks.
It is worth noting that the IC card itself is very small, lost is difficult to find, even at home, mixed with other items may not be found. Therefore, IC cards are actually not convenient to use.
At the same time, the previous IC card does not have encryption function, through some card readers or mobile phones that support NFC function can be copied, once lost, there is a risk that it may be copied by criminals, so the IC card does have a certain security risk. However, at present, many brands upgrade IC cards to CPU cards, making it harder to copy, and security has been improved.
In summary, in the pursuit of simple, convenient age, IC card is easy to lose for smart lock, it is redundant - IC card unlock function, itself low utilization rate, and for the enterprise also increases a certain cost, it is better to abandon.
