LOCK COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SHARED BICYCLE

The present disclosure may relate to shared bicycles, and in particular, relates to lock communication systems and methods for shared bicycles. The lock communication system may include a server and a lock controller disposed on a shared bicycle. The lock controller may include a main control module and a network module. The main control module may control a periodic heartbeat of the network module and maintain a constant connection between the network module and the server. The lock controller may further include a power supply and a short message module which are connected to the main control module. The main control module may obtain power from the power supply, and enter a power saving mode when the power left in the power supply is lower than a preset threshold, or otherwise enter a normal mode. The present disclosure may further relate to a lock communication method for a shared bicycle. According to the present disclosure, by designing lock communication systems and methods for a shared bicycle, a communication mode may be controlled on the basis of power in a power supply, and a network communication with a large power consumption may be replaced by a short message communication, thereby reducing power consumption.
