Abstract

A key binding method capable of dynamic key generation includes the following steps: (a) dynamically generating key information for an identification-pending device; (b) transforming the key information into an image; and (c) transferring the key information to an object device through reading of the image. Applications of the method are also disclosed.

Claims (26)

1 . A key binding method capable of dynamic key generation, comprising the following steps:

(a) dynamically generating key information for an identification-pending device;

(b) transforming the key information into an image; and

(c) transferring the key information to an object device through reading of the image.

2 . The key binding method capable of dynamic key generation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in step (c), the image is read by a reading device.

3 . The key binding method capable of dynamic key generation as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the reading device is a digital camera.

4 . The key binding method capable of dynamic key generation as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the reading device is a network camera.

5 . The key binding method capable of dynamic key generation as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the reading device is a scanner.

6 . The key binding method capable of dynamic key generation as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the reading device is a barcode reader.

7 . The key binding method capable of dynamic key generation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the key information includes identification-pending device information.

8 . The key binding method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a step of transferring device information of the identification-pending device to the object device.

9 . A key binding system capable of dynamic key generation, said key binding system being adapted to transfer key information for key binding, said key binding system comprising:

an identification-pending device including a key generating unit for dynamically generating the key information, and a transformation unit for transforming the key information into an image;

a reading device for reading the image from said identification-pending device; and

an object device for receiving the image from said reading device and for interpreting the image to recover the key information.

10 . The key binding system capable of dynamic key generation as claimed in claim 9 , wherein said reading device is one of a digital camera and a network camera.

11 . The key binding system capable of dynamic key generation as claimed in claim 10 , wherein said identification-pending device further includes a display unit for showing the image thereon.

12 . The key binding system capable of dynamic key generation as claimed in claim 9 , wherein said reading device is one of a scanner and a barcode reader.

13 . The key binding capable of dynamic key generation as claimed in claim 12 , wherein said identification-pending device further includes an output unit for outputting the image.

14 . The key binding system capable of dynamic key generation as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the key information includes identification-pending device information.

15 . An identification-pending device capable of dynamic generation of key information, the key information being transferable to an object device via a reading device, said identification-pending device comprising:

a key generating unit for dynamically generating the key information; and

a transformation unit for transforming the key information into an image.

16 . The identification-pending device capable of dynamic generation of key information as claimed in claim 15 , further comprising a display unit for showing the image thereon, the reading device being one of a digital camera and a network camera for capturing the image shown on the display unit.

17 . The identification-pending device capable of dynamic generation of key information as claimed in claim 15 , further comprising an output unit for outputting the image, the reading device being one of a scanner for scanning the image printed out by said output unit, and a barcode reader.

18 . The identification-pending device capable of dynamic generation of key information as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the key information includes identification-pending device information.
