The patented eGeeTouch Smart lock deploys proprietary advanced
NFC-driven proximity access-gaining technology which is superior for
(1) higher security, (2) faster connection speed, & (3) negligible
power consumption in comparison to other Bluetooth-driven locks.
Particularly, (i) NFC is secured close-proximity access
eradicating concerns over any unwanted vicinity interception
hijacking Over-The-Air (OTA) transmissions. (ii) NFC connection is
instantaneous (<1sec) while Bluetooth connection requires
initialization time that typically takes several seconds of delay,
which could be rather annoying when experienced daily. (iii)
NFC-paired devices such as smartphone requires negligible power. And,
NFC Tags are passive device which does not need its own power source
to operate.
Fingerprint biometric data is another convenient means to personal access security. However, this type of data is basically unable to change because it is encoded in a person biology. Once fingerprint information is lost, leak or stolen, it cannot be retrieved and thus open to PERMANENT ABUSE. Instead, a person can always rethink another Bluetooth password or NFC code, but he/she usually cannot change their fingerprint patterns. Thus, individuals who lost fingerprints is likely to be affected for the rest of their lives.
However, Bluetooth is also provided here as SECONDARY access
choice and PROXIMITY/VICINITY TRACKING® for both iOS &
Android smartphones to accommodate those users who prioritise
convenience over high security in view of individual preference and
personal circumstances.
