1. Getting Started
1.1. Overview
There are plenty of products on the market today, offering remote
keys for everything: certainly cars and garages, but also for entry
doors. Some of the products use RF signal, some infrared. The ones
using RF send pre-programmed code. The security of the latter
significantly improved in recent years, once the length of the code
increased, and it became harder to guess.
However, the remote RF keys are still vulnerable to eavesdropping by
thief, who can plant RF detecting device in close proximity, and steel
the code.
Another often annoying inconvenience is that ability to open many
doors requires either hauling around large number of keys, or several
remotes.
This invention aims to introduce universal key system, offering
ability to operate as many locks as necessary with the single device
that can use electronic cryptographically enforced key. It would be
very nice, if some ubiquitous device, which everyone carries around
anyway, could do the job.
1.2. Introducing Yulock™
There actually is such a device: cell phone. Many cell phones on the
market today offer “Bluetooth”: short distance (mostly up to 30 feet)
digital RF communication protocol, used to communicate to headsets,
owners’ computer(s), hands free car phone kits, etc.. The number of
cell phone models on the market offering Bluetooth snowballed in the
past year, and it appears that in a short while there will be practically
no cell phones without one.
On the other side, most phones are also “smart”, i.e. applications can
be developed to run on the phone.
Phone application called “Yulock”, providing an “electronic key”
capability has been developed by Yulock Inc.. In order for Yulock™
to be able to control a lock, electronic add-on device, also built by
Yulock Inc., has to be installed. The device attaches to the lock, and
has ability to communicate with the Yulock™ application on the cell
phone via Bluetooth protocol at the distance of 30 feet or less with the
standard antenna option, and up to 80 feet with the extended antenna

option. It also has ability to authenticate an electronic key on the cell
phone using cryptography. Once the authentication succeeds, the lock
will accept commands from the cell phone.

1.3. How to Start Using Your Yulock™ Device

release Yulock™ device side button to see red light go on and
thus verify that the device is functioning. Press and release again
or wait to have the red light go off.
4. Connect each of the two pairs of wires plugged into your
Yulock™ device to one of the two locks you will be operating. If
only operating one device – ignore the second pair of wires.
5. If operating garage doors – connect the wires to the two screws
inside the manual control button for your garage doors.
6. If operating entry doors – purchase 12V electric door strike, and
install it in the jambs of your entry doors. Connect a pair of wires
out of Yulock™ to the door strike.
7. Secure Yulock™ device to the wall using two screws and two
pinhole openings on the back of the device. The best location in
the garage is on the top of garage doors. The best location for the
entry doors is at the side of the doors. If using single Yulock™
device for the doors removed from each other – pick a location
closest to the point where you pass on the way to either door
