Abstract
This project entails creating an app-controlled lock using the methods of engineering design. The
app was to innovative and novel, while still adhering to the requirements set forth by Company
Lock. To do so our team first assessed customer needs. To assess these needs we created and
distributed a survey along with conducting personal interviews. Using this data we generated and
narrowed down specific customer requirements. We then used these requirements to put together
a target specification and used an external search to refine the idea. This external search included
a literature and patent search along with a product dissection. All this raw data was combined to
give a benchmark for the group to measure ideas against. Concepts were generated through
brainstorming, and a final concept was selected using a Pugh chart. This final idea was drafted and
represents the final product along with the design of the app interface. The final idea satisfied the
specifications set forth by the customers and its design and Bluetooth capability made it innovative
and unique.

1.0 Introduction
The need for security and peace of mind is a core element of human nature. Although it would be
nice to trust other individuals to always and entirely respect property rights and privacy, it is not
possible. Locks of a variety of types, shapes and sizes have been widely used for quite some time
in order to fulfil this purpose. However, just because something has been around for many years,
doesnt mean that innovation and improvement should cease.

There are several instances when a person may want to secure items while simultaneously allowing
select individuals to also have access to those items. For instance, a gym-partners locker with
shared equipment inside, or a storage unit that friends or family members can all have access to,
or even a school locker so that a classmate can retrieve books for someone if that person is absent.
With modern technology, this objective can be achieved through the use of wireless mobile
devices. An app controlled lock, with manual control for a backup/alternative, that allows access
to registered users is a potentially valuable and highly marketable concept.

Our team worked together to complete a customer needs assessment using Survey Monkey and
Facebook, as well as in person interviews to gather data on what people look for in locks. Then an
extensive external search involving patent searches, product dissection, literature searches, and
benchmarking was conducted. All of the data we collected was used during the concept generation
step in which we collectively thought of ideas for our design. After carefully narrowing down a
long list of ideas, it was finally time to develop the final design using this document and Solidworks
as design tools. The proceeding document describes the method and results of each of these steps
of the design process in order.
1.1 Initial Problem Statement (Times New Roman, 14, left)

Our task is to design a padlock that can be operated via a smartphone app so that secured items can be
shared between multiple individuals. The lock must also have a manual method of operation in case of
a misplaced or dysfunctional mobile device. Company Lock desires a secure, easy-to-use lock that has
the potential to be scaled and easily sold to a large consumer base. We are challenged with developing
a new prototype that, if approved, will be further refined and tested for eventual production. This task
will be accomplished by analyzing customer needs, completing an in-depth external search, generating
a variety of concepts, and finally narrowing down the concepts to a single, final prototype.

1.2 Team Traits and Characteristics

The group had weekly meetings outside of class to evaluate the work that needed to be done for the
following week. Class time was used for collaborative work that required the whole team be present
such as brainstorming and concept generation. The team shared leadership and made sure each member
had a hand in decision making and idea creation. The overall project was subdivided into roles based
on each team members abilities, interest, and ideas, so that work on the project proceeded as efficiently
as possible. All team members provided input during each step when asked or when they thought of a
new idea. The report portion of the assignment was created as a Google Doc and each team members
entries were color-coded in order to keep all the information clear and coherent. This process allowed
the team to work as a cohesive unit in successfully designing the final product. Figure 1.2.1 is a spider
plot of the each team members individual personality traits.




Figure 1.2.1. Personality Traits Based on IPIP-NEO Inventory for Each Team Member


Team strengths: Based on the the teams above average score in conscientiousness,we are able to
control our impulses and we are mindful of how we conduct ourselves. Also, we tend to keep our goals
in order, and can plan over long periods of time. We all have average scores in agreeableness, which
should contribute to our team working well together and being open to problem-solving solutions and
new ideas. However, we are not so agreeable that we will blindly accept all ideas without thorough
discussion and consideration. Our team is well rounded with respect to personality characteristics.

Team weaknesses: Most of our scores are on the low side for extraversion and openness. This may
lead our team to lack the energy and activity levels of more extroverted teams. Our lack of openness
could restrict our creative and theoretical thinking to an extent. In order to generate new and innovative
concepts, we need to work on being open to learning what others have to offer and being open to
others ideas.
2.0 Customer Needs Assessment
After developing an initial problem statement, it was important to assess customer needs because we
want our product to satisfy all customer expectations and desires so that it is profitable and operates
safely and effectively. We gathered data on customer opinions by conducting interviews and a
distributing a survey electronically. The survey was posted on Facebook, and interviews were
conducted by each team member individually. We chose these methods because the survey allowed us
to gather many responses quickly and easily, and the interviews gave us more detailed insights into
exactly what the potential customers wanted. A total of 27 surveys were completed by a diverse
consumer demographic (based on Facebook profile data): ages 18-50 with approximately an equal
number of males and females. The same questions were used for both the survey and interviews so that
the results could be compared.

We selected ten questions that we thought would thoroughly gauge customer needs and be brief enough
to encourage people to respond. The three key features we focused our questions on were security, ease
of use, and physical characteristics. In the survey, the key responses we received indicated that
customers thought the most secure locking mechanism was a thumbprint scanner, followed by a
combination, then key. They felt that in terms of ease of use, a key would be preferred followed by key
pad and thumbprint scanner. The majority also preferred a passcode be used to unlock the padlock via
app. In terms of physical traits, customers wanted a padlock that was smaller than a fist, and made of
of a strong metal such as steel or titanium. Color was not as important to the customers as the usability
and security of the lock. See Table 2.0 for the complete list of customer needs gathered from the survey
and interviews.

It is important to complete a hierarchical consumer needs analysis in order to see what is most
important to potential customers. Doing so increases the potential for a successful and marketable
design. Additionally, the hierarchical clearly identifies what the objectives, constraints, and features
of the design are. During the concept generation process (see section 4.0) it is important to verify that
potential designs meet or exceed the requirements outlined in the consumer needs list.


3.0 External Search
An external search was a key part of the design process as it provided the team with new ideas and
inspiration by researching what concepts had already been successfully produced on the market. We
developed target specifications our lock must meet based on our consumer needs list, and created a
consumer needs and metric matrix. The matrix allowed us to evaluate various features of competitor
locks based on how they met our needs matrix. Features that succeeded in fulfilling those needs were
integrated into our concept generations. The result was various designs that could meet what the
customer wanted and out-perform any competitors in the market.
3.1 Target Specifications

Before we could start our external search, we had to develop a consumer needs and metric matrix in
order to create target specifications that our lock had to meet. This way we knew exactly what
parameters each feature had to fulfill. Our final design must meet or exceed these specifications in
order to be an acceptable prototype. The completed matrix is shown in figure 3.1.1.

3.2 Literature Search

Based on our customer needs list, people wanted a small, secure lock with either a key or
combination for manual unlocking. Along with this our lock had to have wireless capabilities and
an app interface.

3.2.1 Key Operated Locks
We found that Masterlock, an extremely popular brand, provided numerous options for a standard
lock, and looked into the capabilities and features of their key and combo operated locks. Their
key operated locks include laminated, padlocks, solid body locks, and shrouded locks. In their
lower/medium price range cost between $5.50-$20.00. The basic features include scratch and pick
resistance, hardened steel, and two keys.(Masterlock 5, 2014) In their upper price range locks can
be found from $11.00-$50.00, and include a variety of features such as heavy, steel bodies,
hardened, boron alloy/boron-carbide shackles, double deadbolts, laminated, steel cores, pick
resistance, and chrome plated steel.(Masterlock 4, 2014)

3.2.2 Combination Locks
Masterlock also has a large selection of combination locks. The lower/medium price range is from
$7.00-$40.00, and the attributes to these locks include hardened, steel shackles, bright colors, solid
brass cases, and key overrides.(Masterlock 3, 2014) The more advanced locks have a price range
of $10.00-$30.00. Their features include hardened steel shackles, combination reset capability,
high precision dials, double-armored, stainless steel body, hardened boron alloy shackles, double
ball bearing locking, 4 digit combinations, and shackle and dial covers for internal
protection.(Masterlock 6, 2014)

3.2.3 Kevo Deadbolt
In order to find a lock with app capability, we had to look outside the standard padlock as a
bluetooth capable padlock doesnt currently exist. A company called Kevo has a deadbolt that
opens just by a consumer touching it. Phones act like digital key through the Kevo app, as long as
the phone is with you the lock senses it, and the door unlocks at your touch. However, Kevo is
only compatible with iphone 4s, 5, 5c, and 5s. Androids are not able to work with the wireless
interface, so a fob is an additional feature which replaces your phone as a digital key and can
also be sensed by the lock, it is a small, black sensor which can be attached to a keychain. Kevo is
tested against picking and bumping, and has multiple levels of encryption for digital protection. It
can also be manually unlocked by a standard key. The total cost for this product is $219.95.
(Kwikset, 2014)

3.2.4 Schlage Deadbolt
Another company which sells app compatible deadbolt is Schlage. Their lock can be remotely
unlocked and locked via app. It also has two manual ways to be unlocked, via key or pin. Texts
and emails can be sent when a pin is used to unlock the door. Unique, four digit pins can be
programmed for various individuals, and edited at any time from the app. Another feature is a
back-lit keypad. This lock is also protected by extremely high levels of encryption. The price for
this lock is $299.99. (Go Keyless, 2014)


3.3 Patent Search

Performing a patent search was important as it gave our team (or any creative team) an idea of the
products already patented. This lets us know how we need to innovate, or if we want to use a patented
idea, who we need to contact to get permission.

One patent that was relative to the lock that we designed was patent number 200420108741.3, which
detailed the design of a combination cypher lock that resembled the type of combo lock that our team
designed (Lei, 2012). This lock used an alphabetical cypher instead of a numerical cypher like ours,
but the mechanisms were very similar.

The second patent that reflected a piece of the core mechanics of our lock is Bluetooth communication
device (Prepared, 2005). This patent, number 201010292852.4, discloses a device and system for
transmitting data and signals from one Bluetooth capable device to another. Although this may be
capable of a task far outside of the scope of our need, it has the technology that our device would need
to integrate in order to function with bluetooth capability.
3.4 Benchmarking

We performed the benchmarking activity to directly compare specific products and evaluate which
features met customer needs and our constraints. By evaluating these features against each other, we
were able to decide which parts of different locks should be included in our final product, and which
would be less effective. Figure 3.4.1 shows how we benchmarked four different locks and identified
their features strengths and weaknesses.

3.5 Product Dissection

Product dissection was key in understanding how the various locks we researched functioned
internally, and how we could combine separate features into one body. We used electronic methods
for our dissection, researching how key and combo padlocks operated and how bluetooth functioned
in order to give our lock app capability.

3.5.2 Masterlock Laminated Padlocks - No. 5
This lock is opened using a key, and has a four pin cylinder.(Masterlock 7, 2014) Key operated locks
work with pin tumblers, a cylinder on the inside which rotates and allows a spring to be released,
causing the shackle to unlock and rise up.When the key is inserted, the ridges along the edge raise
pins on the inside of the lock, as seen in figure 3.5.2, when the pins are raised to the correct height,
the cylinder is able to turn.

Figure 3.5.1


In the case of this lock, it would have four pins instead of the five shown in Figure 3.5.2. The more
pins a lock has, the more secure the lock is. Adding extra pins to the lock design is always possible but
it will increase production costs.

Figure 3.5.2 (WonderHowTo, 2014)


3.5.3 Bluetooth
Bluetooth can create networks between multiple devices at a range of ten meters through low power
radio waves. When a connection is made between two bluetooth devices,they create a network called
a piconet. Piconets are established immediately when a device enters and leaves radio proximity. When
networks are established, they frequently change their frequency waves in order to prevent any two
networks from being on the same frequency, so devices on different networks wont interfere with one
another. Bluetooth devices have three classes that vary on power use, class two which is normally used
by mobile devices uses only 2.5 mW of power.(Bluetooth, 2014). Figure 3.5.4 shows a class 2
bluetooth chip.

Figure 3.5.4 (RFMA, 2014)


3.5.4 Masterlock No. 175
This lock uses a four digit combination and includes reset capability.(Masterlocks 1, 2014) The two
circles in the center, shown in Figure 3.5.5, rest inside of niches in the shackle, holding the shackle
down and pushing against the spring directly below. When the correct combination is entered, the
circles pull in, freeing the shackle and causing the spring to push up, which pushes the shackle into
the unlock position. The more digits in the combination, the higher the security of the lock.

Figure 3.5.5 (Masterlocks 2, 2014)

3.6 Design Target Statement

The external search showed that there is currently no app-controlled padlock in the market. For wireless
comparability, app-operated locks were typically used for a door, and retailed approximately between
$200-$300. Our research also showed that app operated locks can be compatible with all mobile device
systems (iOS, Andriod,etc). For the lock structure, we found there are many different forms of key
and combination locks that can retail anywhere between $5-$50.

4.0 Concept Generation
4.1 Concept Generation

After analyzing consumer needs and completing an extensive external search, the next step is to
begin to generate a variety of design concepts that can be eventually narrowed down to a final
design. Figure 4.1.1 is a morphological chart that lists various major components of the design as
well as potential solutions to each issue. Each combination of solutions can yield a different design
idea.

One design that we came up with (hereafter referred to as Concept 6) was a standard rectangular-
body lock that utilized a long shackle with a curve and three locking points for added security. It has
a keyhole in the bottom portion as well as the internal electronics required for full app control
capabilities. The body and shackle are entirely constructed of metal. Despite being durable, this
design would yield low security due to the exposed shackle and the possibility of lock picking. This
design can be seen in Figure 4.1.2.

Figure 4.1.2. Concept 6


Another design (Figure 4.1.3) that was generated through the use of brainstorming and sketching, is a
shrouded lock with a straight bar shackle and a rectangular body. We labeled this as Concept 9. The
metal shrouds that hide and protect the shackle allow for greater increased security due to an
increased resistance to cutting. This design is also key controlled and app controlled, and it is also
constructed of a hard metal. However, this design may be more difficult to use due to the
awkwardness of the straight bar locking mechanism.

Figure 4.1.3. Concept 9


A third promising concept that we generated ( Figure 4.1.4) is a more sleek-looking modern lock. It
incorporates a sliding shackle that is shrouded and a combination locking mechanism that is encased
in a rounded metallic body. Aesthetically, this design was the best. The security is also high due to
the resistance to cutting that the body shape and shroud provide. Ease of use was a concern with this
design due to how the shackle is released and locked. This design, known as Concept 8 would also be
more difficult to produce than the previous concepts.

Figure 4.1.4. Concept 8


The body of the lock must be large enough to contain not only the manual locking mechanism, but
also the electronics required for wireless bluetooth connectivity, including wiring, a computer chip,
and a power source. Figure 4.1.5 is a sketch of the internal components of the lock. The internal
rechargeable battery is on the left next to the USB port. The 4-digit code dials on the bottom are
connected to the locking mechanism. The open space in the center is reserved for electronic and
computer components in order to protect them.

5.0 Concept Selection

Figure 5.1.1 Pugh Chart


The key method used to narrow the ideas formulated from brainstorming, referencing the
morphological chart, and using the Pugh chart. In this way the team rated the designs that were
formulated against each other in order to discern the design that met customer needs to the fullest. A
clear winner was present at the end of the process, and the entire team agreed on using that concept as
the final design.
6.0 Final Design

Our final lock design (Figure 6.0.1) has many specifically designed features. The shackle, made
of tempered steel, of the lock, figure 6.0.2, is designed so that it fits into the holes of the lock
body..This ensures a tight and secure fit so that the lock is nearly unbreakable, as shown in figure
6.0.2.1. Figure 6.0.3 is the entire lock body, which has many features designed for style and
security. The lock body is made out of stainless steel. Figure 6.0.4 is a close up view of the
combination key slot. It is designed so that the combination turning keys, which are made out of
steel, figure 6.0.4.1, fit directly into the body of the lock, to ensure maximum safety. Figure 6.0.4.1
shows how the keys fit tightly into the slot. Figure 6.0.5 is a close up view of the bluetooth chip
slot. Since the bluetooth receptor is on the outside of the lock, it ensures that the bluetooth is
available at a larger distance range. Also, since the bluetooth chip fits directly into the lock body,
as shown in figure 6.0.5.1, it ensures that it will not fall out or be damaged if the lock is dropped.
Figure 6.0.6 shows the small hole in the lock body, designed for the button, figure 6.0.7. In figure
6.0.6.1, we can see how the clear, red plastic button fits into the lock body. This buttons purpose
is so that you can use if to turn on the lock to use it, or to turn it off to save battery. It is also a
battery indicator light, because it is clear red plastic.Figure 6.0.8 is a picture of the mini USB port
and the hole for the button. Figure 6.0.9 is just a picture of the mini USB charging port. All
dimensioned drawings of each part can be found in Appendix A.

6.2 How does it work?

The lock has many important security features. The first is the steel combination keys. They are built
into the lock body for maximum security, so that they cant be pried from the lock body to gain access
to the locked items. If the lock is off, it will still unlock via the combination keys on the lock body, but
not via the app. The red on-off button on the left side of the lock body is for turning the lock on and
off. The lock will still stay locked while it is turned off, but it will not be using any of the battery
power. The button also contains a LED light, that indicates the amount of battery life left. When the
light lights up, there is 20% or less of the battery left. Also on the left side of the lock body, there is
the mini USB charging port. This is so that the lock can be connected to the power cord and plugged
into any wall outlet. The power cord is enclosed within the packaging when you purchase the lock. On
the right side of the lock body, the Bluetooth chip is visible. However, it is recessed into the lock body,
and is covered by a certain part of the body, so that it cannot be pried out of the body or pop out if the
lock is dropped or damaged. The Bluetooth chip is on the surface of the lock body and not set inside
because this gives it a larger distance range that it can connect to devices. The shackle is made out of
tempered steel and is very strong. It is embedded into the lock body on its right end, so that it won't
leave the lock body unless it is shattered. The shackles left end is designed to stay locked unless the
lock is actively opened. The lock body is also designed for maximum security. It is stainless steel, so
it will not oxidize and can be used for many years. The most special part about our lock is the top sides
of the lock body. They are raised up higher than where the shackle fits in, ensuring that its impossible
to cut the shackle if its properly locked onto a locker or something similar. This design was created
with the mindset that the lock would not be able to be twisted, cut, or broken off of what it was locked
on.

The app is designed for ease of use and productivity. Once opened, the user section at the top shows
all the users that have app access to the lock. In the right top corner, the battery percentage of the lock
is shown. The Current Status bar states whether the lock is open or closed. To lock or unlock the
lock via app, the user must press the Enter Code button. Next, a number pad will pop up, and the
user can enter the four digit code given with the product. Then, the user must select to either lock or
unlock the lock. The user can also change the four digit code they use to unlock the lock. To do this,
they must hold the Enter Code button for 3 seconds. Then, a number pad will pop up and they will
be prompted to enter their existing code. Once that is accepted, they will be asked to enter their new
code, and then to confirm the new code. Figure 6.2.1 shows the main screen of the app. The app also
sends an alert to the owner if the lock has evidence of tampering, such as many attempts at access
without the correct code.






















Figure 6.2.1 Mobile Application User Interface Design




7.0 Conclusion
Our project was successful. We were able to create an app operated padlock with an innovative
feature. The app is simple to use. The lock is small, sleek, attractive, and extremely secure. All
these features guarantee that the lock successfully met customer needs, and meeting customer
needs ensures that the product will be successful in the market. For any aspects that customer needs
may not have been fully met, the team provide the closest design that was possible. One truly
unique aspect of our lock is the shackles placement within the indents of the lock body, which
provides extra security against unwanted access, and the apps ability to alert the owner of a
potential security breach ensures that the lock is secure. The lock is cheaper than most of the app
operated locks on the market, ranging from $100-$150. This design is the final design that will be
submitted for further review and hopefully prototyping followed by eventual production.
