Purpose
It has been known for some time now that mechanical locks are becoming outdated. Mechanical locks are notoriously easy to lock pick, the quantity of keys limits their use, and they are not convenient to use. The goal of Team Open Sesame is to create a door that is safer and more convenient to use than the conventional mechanical door. Team Open Sesame’s design gives people limited access to a door through their android smartphone’s Bluetooth in the form of a digital key code. The use of a digital key provides more safety than the traditional locking mechanism, as it takes more experience to hack into a password encrypted system than to pick a lock. This design also provides the security of always being locked, until given a quick command to unlock. The goal of almost any piece of technology is to improve on what has been done before. Team Open Sesame’s door is easier to use, is more secure, and has infinite keys. Team Open Sesame’s door is applicable to any door. There are uses for an automatic door by private individuals as well as companies and businesses. Any door that requires increased security would benefit from this design. Also, companies that utilize this technology will no longer need to print many duplicates of the same keys to give access to their employees. Another benefit of having digital keys is the ability to change the passwords periodically to eliminate the risk of security breaches. Private individuals might want to install this door in the front of their house. Not only is it a flashy object that impresses neighbors but this door will make it easy to walk into your home with an armload of groceries without the need to fumble for your keys at your front door.
