Stop Using Keys Right Now : Bluetooth App Lets You Secure Doors And Bikes by baseg25(m): 4:45pm On Sep 11, 2014 |
Forget keys – this padlock opens using a PHONE: Bluetooth app lets you secure doors and bikes *.Designers created the ‘Noke’ to eliminate the old-fashioned key and lock It’s a pain locking a bike when popping into a shop for a few minutes – especially when you know you’ll be fumbling for your keys minutes later. But the key is set to become a thing of the past now that designers have created a Bluetooth padlock that can be unlocked simply by hovering a smartphone nearby. According to dailymail, The padlock, which resembles a traditional one, is the first to allow users to open a lock without keys using an iOS or Android app. No more keys! The Noke padlock by Fuz (pictured) claims to be the first to allow users to open a lock without keys, instead using an iOS or Android app (also pictured). The device allows people to share a bike, for example, protected by the lock To work the ‘Noke’ lock, a user must press the shackle when they and their phone are nearby. ‘Nokewakes up and searches for your phone or a shared phone. If the phone is within a few feet,Nokewill instantly unlock so you can be on your way. No need to launch an app or remove your phone from your pocket or purse,’ the company wrote on Kickstarter. It uses signals sent via Bluetooth to a smartphone to identify the owner of the lock and in this way will also allow people to share their lock so two people could access one bike, for example, either temporarily or permanently. No more fumbling for keys: ‘Noke wakes up and searches for your phone or a shared phone. If the phone is within a few feet, (illustrated) Noke will instantly unlock so you can be on your way. No need to launch an app or remove your phone from your pocket or purse,’ the company said Utah-based design company Fuz Designs created the smart padlock to solve the problems associated with traditional padlocks and keys, which are easy to lose, can be stolen and are hard to share. The device weighs just over eight ounces (227 grams) and is designed to be used with a cable for bikes, as well as securing sheds. It is made from hardened steel and boron and has a long-life battery that promises to last for a year with continuous use. If a user’s phone, or the lock’s battery dies, they will be able to use ‘quick click’ technology to access the lock, allowing them to key in a sequence of pre-determined clicks manually using the shackle. Co-founder of the company, Cameron Gibbs, 35, said: ‘Noke is roughly the same size as a traditional padlock. HOW IT WORKS The Noke padlock connects via Bluetooth with an iOS or Android app to automatically identify the owner of the lock. To unlock Noke, users simply have to press the shackle. It wakes up and searches for a phone and if it senses the handset is within a few feet, it instantly unlocks so users don’t even have to take their phone out of their pocket. The app allows instant and secure sharing so users can choose to let another person temporarily or permanently access their bike – or whatever the padlock is protecting. It can also be opened if a user learns a sequence of clicks – so it works a little like a combination lock without numbers. Secure: The device weighs just over eight ounces (225grams) and can be used with a cable for bikes, as well as securing sheds (illustrated) Smart: The lock will send signals via Bluetooth to a smartphone to identify the owner of the lock and in this way also allows people to share their lock so two people can access one bike, for example (pictured) ‘It is 3.3 inches (9cm) tall and 2.2 inches (6cm) wide and weighs about eight ounces. ‘There is no interference with other Bluetooth devices. Noke doesn’t unlock until you wake it up. It won’t ever unlock on its own.’ The firm is currently raising funding on Kickstarter and has smashed its $100,000 (£62,000) target, pulling in over $500,000 (£310,106). The lock is available to pre-order for $59 (£37) with a shipping date in February, but will retail for around $89 (£55). |

Mention: 9k for a padlock?? Haba na..yes it is a battery. The current design incorporates a replaceable battery. They are considering using a rechargeable battery, so just stay tune. The app will alert when the battery is low with plenty of advance notice to replace it. |
