Apparatus and method for controlling a door lock mechanism

摘要

A door lock mechanism controller includes a first communication device and a second communication device. The first communication device transmits a radio signal to a communication terminal through a first antenna (smart entry antenna) so as to receive authentication information for operating a door lock mechanism. The second communication device (RFiD) transmits/receives a radio signal to/from another type of communication terminal so as to receive authentication information for operating the door lock mechanism. A control prevents operation of an actuator based on the authentication information received by the second antenna, while the radio signal is transmitted by the first antenna.
