Highly secure combination lock system

1. A combination lock system comprising:

a lock body having a central portion and a surrounding portion on a face of the lock system;

the central portion comprising a biometric scanner;

the surrounding portion comprising a set of visible symbols that are configured to be individually activated in sequence to indicate an unlocking code;

an intelligent component configured to compare scanned biometric data with stored biometric data to confirm a user identity; and

a locking and unlocking component attached to the lock body that is configured to be unlocked by the unlocking code being provided and the intelligent component confirming the user identity.

2. The combination lock system of claim 1 wherein the set of visible symbols may be individually activated by rotation of the surrounding portion and alignment of individual visible symbols with a pointing position.

3. The combination lock system of claim 1 wherein the set of visible symbols may be individually activated by physical contact with individual visible symbols which is sensed and indicated to the intelligent component.

4. The combination lock system of claim 1 wherein the intelligent component is configured to require a sequence of fingerprint confirmation of the user identity before individual activation in sequence can indicate the unlocking code.

5. The combination lock system of claim 1 wherein the intelligent component is configured to require a sequence of fingerprint confirmation of the user identity after individual activation in sequence can indicate the unlocking code.

6. The combination lock system of claim 1 wherein the intelligent component is configured to require a sequence of fingerprint confirmation of the user identity intermediate of individual activation in sequence can indicate the unlocking code.

7. The combination lock system of claim 1 wherein the intelligent component is within the lock body.

8. The combination lock system of claim 2 wherein the intelligent component is within the lock body.

9. The combination lock system of claim 3 wherein the intelligent component is within the lock body.

10. The combination lock system of claim 7 wherein the lock body has an I/O port with an available communication link to the intelligent component.

11. The combination lock system of claim 10 wherein the intelligent component is configured to accept information on user identity in the form of a biometric database to which the scanned biometric data may be compared for confirmation of the user identity.

12. The combination lock system of claim 11 wherein the biometric data consists of fingerprint data.

13. The combination lock system of claim 1 wherein at least two distinct light emission patterns are available and failure of either fingerprint recognition or any failure within the sequence of symbols causes a distinct light emission that indicates a failure at a stage of unlocking the lock system.

14. The combination lock system of claim 13 wherein the at least two distinct light emission patterns are provided by at least two light emitting diodes.

15. The combination lock system of claim 13 wherein the intelligent component is programmed so that failure to provide the sequence of individual visible symbols a predetermined number of times initiates a shut down in unlocking procedures.

16. The combination lock system of claim 2 wherein activation of individual symbols causes lights behind individual symbols to illuminate individual symbols being activated.
