Method and system for the configuration of small locking systems

1. A method for the configuration and administration of a locking system comprising at least one electronic locking and at least one identification medium for operating the locking, wherein the method comprises the following steps:

a) providing a smartphone with an administration software for the administration and configuration of the at least one locking and the at least one identification medium wherein the smartphone may communicate with the locking and the identification medium via a wireless communication link;

b) allocating access rights of the identification medium to the locking via the administration software of the smartphone and locally storing said allocation of access rights in the smartphone, wherein the allocation of access rights from identification media to corresponding lockings may be visualized and configured by means of a locking-identification-media-matrix on the display of the smartphone;

c) reading out the identification data which are specific for the locking/identification medium and transmitting said data as well as the access rights from step b) to a cloud,

d) generating programming data, preferably encoded programming data, and/or key data in the cloud by means of a server in the cloud on the basis of said transmitted allocations;

e) receiving the programming data or the encoded programming data and/or key data from the cloud using the smartphone; and

f) transmitting the key data from the smartphone to the at least one identification medium and/or transmitting the programming data from the smartphone to the locking.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the locking system comprises a plurality of electronic lockings and a plurality of identification media.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein

i) a locking may be a device from the group of: electronic locking cylinder, electronic lock and electronic fitting; and/or

ii) an identification medium may be a device from the group of: RFID card, key card, smartphone with RFID functionality and transponder.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the smartphone communicates with the locking and/or the identification medium by means of an adapter.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cloud provides a dataset service and a cloud-LSM-service wherein the smartphone communicates with the cloud-LSM-service and the cloud-LSM-service communicates with the dataset service, wherein the key data and programming data preferably form part of a dataset which is generated by the dataset service.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the mobile key server is an OverTheAir mobile key server and the key data are sent wirelessly, preferably via the mobile communications network to a smartphone having a corresponding software (mobile key app).

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein user data are stored or generated on the basis of the allocations by means of the cloud-LSM-service.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cloud additionally comprises a mobile key server for storing and distributing the key data,

wherein the key data are used by an identification medium for opening a locking, and the mobile key server transmits the key data to a smartphone with a corresponding software (mobile key app).

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein between step a) and b) the step

a1) for inventorying the at least one locking and/or the at least one identification medium is carried out, in which the at least one locking and/or the at least one identification medium is recorded and unambiguously identified and

in step c) data regarding the recorded lockings and/or identification media are additionally transmitted to the cloud.
