Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent security technology, specifically to a control system, method, device, equipment, and medium for intelligent door locks in always-open mode. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, schools, as densely populated areas, require particularly effective access control. However, traditional access control systems are prone to congestion during peak hours or special events, which not only affects door opening efficiency but may also pose safety hazards.

[0003] With the advancement of technology and the development of the times, traditional door opening methods have been gradually replaced by more convenient smart door locks. As the locking component in the access control system, smart door locks lack a always-open mode for special scenarios that require keeping the smart door lock open for a certain period of time. This is not conducive to students quickly and freely entering and leaving classrooms or schools during class and after school.

[0004] Furthermore, current smart locks with a normally open mode only allow manual opening and closing control through a function button. In case of emergencies on campus, the normally open mode cannot provide automatic and flexible control, resulting in low control efficiency and failing to meet the safety requirements of smart locks.

[0005] Therefore, it is particularly necessary to develop a smart door lock always-open mode control system that can flexibly adapt to different scenario needs and automatically switch to always-open mode to improve passage efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a control system, method, device, equipment and medium for the always-open mode of smart door locks, so as to solve the problems that the existing smart door locks have a single control method, cannot realize automatic and flexible control of the always-open mode in special scenarios, have low control efficiency and cannot meet the security requirements of smart door locks.

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a smart door lock always-open mode control system, the system comprising:

[0008] Central control platform and multiple smart door locks;

[0009] The central control platform responds to the operation of the target user by generating a first control signal and sending it to the corresponding target smart lock. The first control signal includes an opening signal for at least one target smart lock and a setting signal corresponding to its normally open time period.

[0010] The target smart door lock analyzes the first control signal to obtain its normally open time period, controls the door lock body to perform the opening action during the normally open time period, and collects the current image during the normally open time period and sends it to the central control platform.

[0011] The central control platform performs anomaly detection on the target smart lock based on the current image. When an anomaly is detected in the target smart lock, a second control signal is generated and sent to the target smart lock. The second control signal is the closing signal of the target smart lock.

[0012] The target smart door lock controls the door lock body to perform a closing action based on the second control signal.

[0013] This invention designs a smart lock always-open mode control system comprising a central control platform and multiple smart locks. The central control platform generates a first control signal in response to the target user's operation. The target smart lock analyzes this first control signal to determine its always-open time period and controls the lock body to perform an opening action within this period, as well as capturing the current image and sending it to the central control platform. The central control platform analyzes the current image to determine if the target smart lock is malfunctioning. If an malfunction is detected, a second control signal is generated to control the lock body to perform a closing action. This system enables automatic switching of the always-open mode in different scenarios, offering not only flexible control but also improved control efficiency, thus meeting the flexible, efficient, and secure usage requirements of smart locks.

[0014] In one optional implementation, the central control platform is also used to monitor each smart lock and its surrounding environment, and determine whether there is any abnormality in each smart lock and its surrounding environment; if at least one smart lock and / or the surrounding environment of the smart lock is abnormal, a third control signal is generated and sent to the corresponding smart lock, the third control signal including an open or close signal of at least one smart lock.

[0015] The central control platform of this invention can monitor the abnormalities of the smart lock in real time and generate control signals accordingly when an abnormality occurs, which can ensure the normal operation of the smart lock and meet the safety requirements of the smart lock.

[0016] In one optional implementation, the central control platform is equipped with a normally open mode, a normally open deactivated mode, a batch normally open mode, and a batch normally open deactivated mode. The normally open mode is used to activate the normally open mode of a single smart lock and set its normally open time period; the normally open deactivated mode is used to deactivate the normally open mode of a single smart lock; the batch normally open mode is used to activate the normally open mode of multiple smart locks and set the normally open time period for each smart lock; the batch normally open deactivated mode is used to deactivate the normally open mode of multiple smart locks. The target user generates a corresponding mode signal by selecting different modes; the central control platform generates a corresponding control signal based on the mode signal.

[0017] This invention enables automatic and flexible switching to the corresponding normally open mode in different scenarios by setting multiple normally open modes, which greatly enriches the control methods of normally open mode and helps to improve the control efficiency of normally open mode.

[0018] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for controlling the always-open mode of an intelligent door lock, applicable to an intelligent door lock always-open mode control system as described in the first aspect above or any corresponding embodiment, the method comprising:

[0019] The system receives a first control signal generated by the central control platform in response to the target user's operation. The first control signal includes an opening signal for at least one target smart door lock and a setting signal corresponding to its normally open time period.

[0020] Analyze the first control signal to determine the target smart door lock and its normally open time period;

[0021] During the normally open period, control the door lock body of the target smart door lock to perform the opening action and collect the current image of the target smart door lock;

[0022] Detect whether there are any anomalies in the current image;

[0023] If there is an anomaly in the current image, a second control signal is generated, which is the closing signal of the target smart door lock;

[0024] The second control signal controls the smart door lock to perform a closing action.

[0025] After receiving a first control signal generated by the central control platform in response to a target user's operation, this invention analyzes the first control signal to obtain the target smart lock and its normally open time period. During the normally open time period, it controls the lock body of the target smart lock to perform an opening action and acquires the current image of the target smart lock. It detects whether there is any abnormality in the current image and generates a second control signal when an abnormality is found, so as to control the lock body of the target smart lock to perform a closing action. This invention can realize automatic switching of the normally open mode of the lock in different scenarios, and has significant advantages in flexible control and high control efficiency, which greatly meets the security requirements of smart locks.

[0026] In one optional implementation, receiving a first control signal generated by the central control platform in response to a target user's operation includes:

[0027] Determine whether the target user is a legitimate user;

[0028] When the target user is a legitimate user, detect whether there is a mode signal. The mode signal is the signal generated after the target user selects various modes in the central control platform.

[0029] When a pattern signal is detected, a first control signal is generated based on the pattern signal.

[0030] This invention, by designing a process for determining whether the target user is a legitimate user and for detecting the presence of a mode signal, can ensure the quality of the first control signal, thereby helping to improve the control efficiency of the normally open mode.

[0031] In one optional implementation, the smart door lock always-open mode control method further includes:

[0032] When no presence mode signal is detected, each smart lock is controlled to execute a preset control strategy. The preset control strategy is a process for local authentication and identification of the smart lock, which includes: obtaining target information for the target user to authenticate the target smart lock; matching the target information with preset authentication information; if the target information matches the preset authentication information, controlling the lock body of the target smart lock to perform an opening action; if the target information does not match the preset authentication information, controlling the lock body of the target smart lock to perform a closing action.

[0033] When the target user does not select the corresponding normally open mode, each smart lock executes the authentication process at the lock end and controls the opening and closing of the lock body based on the authentication result. This can improve the effective control of smart locks and meet the security requirements of smart locks.

[0034] In one optional implementation, the smart door lock always-open mode control method further includes:

[0035] If there are no anomalies in the current image, obtain the current time;

[0036] Determine whether the current time falls within the normally open period of the target smart lock;

[0037] During the period when the target smart lock is normally open, control the lock body of the target smart lock to remain open;

[0038] If the target smart lock is not in its normally open period at the current time, control the lock body of the target smart lock to perform a closing action.

[0039] When the smart door lock is functioning normally, this invention maintains the lock's normally open state by determining in real time whether the current time meets the set normally open time period, which greatly enhances the accuracy and efficiency of normally open mode control.

[0040] Thirdly, the present invention provides a smart door lock normally open mode control device, applied to a smart door lock normally open mode control method in the second aspect above or any corresponding embodiment, the device comprising:

[0041] The signal receiving module is used to receive the first control signal generated by the central control platform in response to the target user's operation. The first control signal includes an opening signal of at least one target smart door lock and a setting signal corresponding to its normally open time period.

[0042] The signal analysis module is used to analyze the first control signal to determine the target smart door lock and its normally open time period;

[0043] The first control module is used to control the door lock body of the target smart door lock to perform an opening action during the normally open period, and to collect the current image of the target smart door lock.

[0044] The anomaly detection module is used to detect whether there are any anomalies in the current image;

[0045] The signal generation module is used to generate a second control signal if there is an anomaly in the current image. The second control signal is the closing signal of the target smart door lock.

[0046] The second control module is used to control the door lock body of the target smart door lock to perform a closing action based on the second control signal.

[0047] The intelligent door lock always-open mode control device of the present invention can realize automatic switching of the door lock always-open mode in different scenarios. It has significant advantages of flexible control and high control efficiency, which greatly meets the security needs of intelligent door locks.

[0048] Fourthly, the present invention provides a computer device, comprising: a memory and a processor, wherein the memory and the processor are communicatively connected to each other, the memory stores computer instructions, and the processor executes the computer instructions to perform a smart door lock normally open mode control method according to the second aspect above or any corresponding embodiment.

[0049] Fifthly, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions for causing a computer to execute a smart door lock normally open mode control method according to the second aspect above or any corresponding embodiment. Attached Figure Description

[0059] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0060] This embodiment provides a smart door lock always-open mode control system. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the intelligent door lock always-open mode control system according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1As shown, the system includes a central control platform 101 and multiple smart locks 102. The central control platform 101, in response to an operation by a target user, generates a first control signal and sends it to the corresponding target smart lock. The first control signal includes an opening signal for at least one target smart lock and a setting signal corresponding to its normally open time period. The target smart lock parses the first control signal to obtain its normally open time period, controls the lock body to perform an opening action within the normally open time period, and acquires a current image within the normally open time period and sends it to the central control platform 101. The central control platform 101 performs anomaly detection on the target smart lock based on the current image. When an anomaly is detected, it generates a second control signal and sends it to the target smart lock. The second control signal is a closing signal for the target smart lock. The target smart lock controls its body to perform a closing action based on the second control signal.

[0061] It should be noted that the central control platform 101 in this embodiment is equipped with a normally open mode, a normally open deactivated mode, a batch normally open mode, and a batch normally open deactivated mode. The normally open mode is used to enable the normally open mode of a single smart lock and set its normally open time period; the normally open deactivated mode is used to deactivate the normally open mode of a single smart lock; the batch normally open mode is used to enable the normally open mode of multiple smart locks and set the normally open time period for each smart lock; the batch normally open deactivated mode is used to deactivate the normally open mode of multiple smart locks; the target user generates a corresponding mode signal by selecting different modes; the central control platform 101 generates a corresponding control signal based on the mode signal.

[0062] It's important to note that the specific numerical setting for the always-open time period is not limited here and can be adjusted adaptively based on actual needs. For example, considering the special characteristics of students' normal class arrival and departure times on campus, the door lock can be designed to remain open during this period, improving the efficiency of campus access for all personnel. Specifically, by setting multiple always-open modes, automatic and flexible switching to the corresponding always-open mode is achieved in different scenarios, greatly enriching the control methods of the always-open mode and helping to improve its control efficiency.

[0063] In this embodiment, the central control platform 101 is also used to monitor each smart lock 102 and its surrounding environment, and determine whether there is any abnormality in each smart lock 102 and its surrounding environment. If at least one smart lock 102 and / or its surrounding environment is abnormal, a third control signal is generated and sent to the corresponding smart lock 102. The third control signal includes an opening or closing signal for at least one smart lock 102. Specifically, the central control platform can monitor the abnormalities of the smart locks in real time and generate corresponding control signals when abnormalities occur, which can ensure the normal operation of the smart locks and meet the safety requirements of the smart locks. It should be noted that the specific content of the abnormal situation in this embodiment is not limited and is adapted based on actual needs. For example, in the event of a sudden emergency at the school, assuming a fire breaks out in the No. 1 teaching building, the administrator needs to open all the smart locks in all classrooms of the No. 1 teaching building through the central control platform (i.e., by clicking the batch open mode button, all smart locks in the No. 1 teaching building area can be opened) so that students and teachers can evacuate as soon as possible, avoid accidents, and ensure the safety of personnel. This is only an example.

[0064] In one specific embodiment, a smart door lock always-open mode control system is provided. This system integrates multiple functions such as intelligent recognition, remote control, time scheduling, and security monitoring, and is particularly suitable for school environments. It aims to achieve automatic switching of the door lock to always-open mode while ensuring security, through preset programs or remote commands. Specifically, the system includes: a centralized smart door lock management platform (i.e., central control platform 101) and multiple locks, also referred to as smart locks (i.e., smart door locks 102). See details... Figure 2 The smart lock centralized management platform is used to manage each smart lock and issue commands; the smart lock receives the commands and performs corresponding control through the microcontroller unit at the lock end.

[0065] It should be noted that each smart lock in this embodiment includes: a smart lock storage chip (used to store various data from the lock, such as authentication information of legitimate users, environmental images, etc.), a microcontroller unit (MCU), a smart doorbell module, a time scheduling module, a Wi-Fi chip, and a user authentication module. See also... Figure 3Specifically, the smart lock hardware features conventional password and biometric unlocking methods such as fingerprint, face recognition, and iris scanning; the microcontroller unit handles system commands and data; the smart doorbell module can capture images and view real-time video; the time scheduling module automatically controls the lock status according to a preset schedule (i.e., normally open periods); the Wi-Fi chip is used for communication, uploading user door opening and closing records to the smart lock centralized management platform, and receiving commands issued by the platform; the user authentication module ensures access rights for authorized personnel (i.e., legitimate users, such as platform administrators, teachers, etc.); the locks are network-connected to the smart lock centralized management platform via the Wi-Fi chip, which can name the bound locks to distinguish them; and it can manage multiple locks simultaneously, for example, multiple locks can be operated with the same command. It should be noted that the number of locks controlled by the same command can be limited according to the school's needs; for example, a single command can be issued to 100 locks, which is only an example.

[0066] In one specific embodiment, a normally open mode trigger mechanism is designed to enable the door lock to automatically open at specific time intervals. Specifically, school administrators can set specific time periods (such as peak hours for class start and end) for the smart door locks to be in normally open mode through the smart door lock centralized management platform. This automatically switches the door locks in the designated area to normally open mode. Through the lock's built-in time scheduling module (i.e., NTP time, where NTP is the Network Time Protocol used to synchronize the time of various computers on a network), when the microcontroller unit at the lock detects the normally open time, it triggers the lock to automatically open and remain open during this time period. For example, the smart door lock centralized management platform also includes monitoring images of the surrounding environment of each smart door lock. Through this platform, a specific classroom can be selected, the normally open time can be set, and the settings can be sent to the corresponding smart lock. The smart door lock centralized management platform displays the following: Figure 4 As shown. By Figure 4 As can be seen, this platform can be used to display various information about each room on each floor, such as room name, room status, and smart lock always-on mode, as well as to set the always-on mode for single or batch smart locks. Specifically, the current room status (such as door closed status, door abnormal status, door always-on mode status, etc.) can be determined by analyzing the door lock data of the corresponding room. If the door lock is in an abnormal state, it will be marked accordingly through the room status (as shown in the boxed content in the figure, this room status indicates that the smart lock in room 3 on the 1st floor is abnormal).

[0067] This embodiment also considers the control of the normally open mode under various emergencies in practical applications, and designs different normally open modes to enhance the security mechanism of the smart door lock's normally open mode control system. Specifically, the security mechanism of this embodiment includes:

[0068] 1. One-click always-open mode / batch always-open mode: In case of a sudden emergency, such as a fire, the on-site management personnel or the smart door lock always-open mode control system can activate emergency control on the smart door locks in the area to enable single or batch always-open mode for evacuating personnel, accelerating their evacuation, and protecting their lives.

[0069] 2. Disable Normally Open Mode / Batch Disable Normally Open Mode: In case of abnormal situations, such as rioters entering a school or classroom, on-site management personnel or the smart door lock normally open mode control system can operate to disable the normally open mode to restore the normal smart door lock security verification process, that is, to authenticate the door lock access rights of the personnel entering and exiting, and control the door lock body to open when the door lock authentication is passed to achieve safe passage for legitimate users.

[0070] 3. Security monitoring function: The smart lock integrates a smart peephole, which can automatically capture images in the always-open mode of the door lock and upload them to the central control platform, allowing users to view the door lock usage status in real time.

[0071] In summary, the intelligent door lock always-open mode control system of this invention aims to improve campus access efficiency in special scenarios and ensure campus safety through multiple security mechanisms. It is an important technological innovation in the construction of modern smart campuses. It can be applied to the control of always-open mode in different campus scenarios and has the advantages of high control efficiency and flexible control, which can meet the safety requirements of intelligent door locks.

[0072] This invention provides an embodiment of a smart door lock always-open mode control method, applied to the aforementioned smart door lock always-open mode control system. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0073] This embodiment provides a method for controlling the always-open mode of a smart door lock, which is applied to the aforementioned smart door lock always-open mode control system. Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating the intelligent door lock always-open mode control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0074] Step S501: Receive a first control signal generated by the central control platform in response to the target user's operation. The first control signal includes an opening signal for at least one target smart door lock and a setting signal corresponding to its normally open time period.

[0075] In this embodiment, the target user is the administrator of the central control platform, who can select and control the always-open mode of the smart door lock. It should be noted that the specific form and content of the first control signal in this embodiment are not limited and can be adaptively adjusted based on actual business needs.

[0076] Step S502: Analyze the first control signal to determine the target smart door lock and its normally open time period.

[0077] In this embodiment, the first control signal is parsed according to its specific form to obtain at least one target smart lock and its normally open time period, wherein the normally open time period is the time period during which the corresponding smart lock needs to keep its lock body open.

[0078] Step S503: During the normally open time period, control the door lock body of the target smart door lock to perform an opening action and acquire the current image of the target smart door lock.

[0079] In this embodiment, the specific method of image acquisition is not limited and can be adapted based on actual project needs. For example, real-time acquisition of corresponding videos or images through a smart door lock's built-in acquisition device, such as a peephole, is only used as an example.

[0080] Step S504: Detect whether there are any abnormalities in the current image.

[0081] In this embodiment, the method for detecting anomalies in the current image is not limited, and is determined based on conventional detection methods in the art. For example, the current image is matched with a set standard abnormal image for similarity, and if the similarity threshold is met, the current image is considered to be abnormal. This is only an example for illustration.

[0082] Step S505: If there is an anomaly in the current image, a second control signal is generated. The second control signal is the closing signal of the target smart door lock.

[0083] Step S506: Based on the second control signal, control the door lock body of the target smart door lock to perform a closing action.

[0084] The smart door lock always-open mode control method of this invention can realize automatic switching of the door lock always-open mode in different scenarios. It has significant advantages of flexible control and high control efficiency, which greatly meets the security requirements of smart door locks.

[0085] This embodiment provides a method for controlling the always-open mode of a smart door lock. Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating another intelligent door lock always-open mode control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 6 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0086] Step S601: Receive a first control signal generated by the central control platform in response to the target user's operation. The first control signal includes an opening signal for at least one target smart lock and a setting signal corresponding to its normally open time period.

[0087] Specifically, receiving the first control signal generated by the central control platform in response to the target user's operation in step S601 includes:

[0088] Step S6011: Determine whether the target user is a legitimate user.

[0089] It should be noted that the legitimate users in this embodiment are personnel who have been authenticated by the central control platform, such as the administrators of the central control platform, who can select and control the always-open mode of each smart door lock through the platform.

[0090] Step S6012: When the target user is a legitimate user, detect whether there is a mode signal. The mode signal is the signal generated after the target user selects each mode in the central control platform.

[0091] In this embodiment, after the target user selects the always-open mode of each smart door lock through the central control platform, a corresponding mode signal will be generated. By detecting the presence or absence of this mode signal, the operating status of the always-open mode can be determined.

[0092] Step S6013: When a mode signal is detected, a first control signal is generated based on the mode signal.

[0093] The embodiments of the present invention include a process for determining whether the target user is a legitimate user and for detecting the presence of a mode signal, which can ensure the quality of the first control signal and thus help improve the control efficiency of the normally open mode.

[0094] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when no presence pattern signal is detected, each smart lock is controlled to execute a preset control strategy. This preset control strategy is the process by which the smart lock performs local authentication and identification. Specifically, the process includes:

[0095] Step A1: Obtain the target information for the target user to authenticate the target smart lock.

[0096] In this embodiment, the specific content of the target information is not limited and can be adaptively adjusted based on actual needs and the unlocking method of the smart lock. For example, the target information may include at least one of a digital password, fingerprint, face, or iris scan, which is only provided as an example.

[0097] Step A2: Match the target information with the preset authentication information.

[0098] In this embodiment, the specific matching method between the target information and the preset authentication information is not limited, and is determined based on conventional matching methods in the art. For example, assuming the target information is a digital password, the similarity between the digital password obtained in real time and the preset digital password is calculated, and a match is passed if the two are similar. This is only an example for illustration.

[0099] Step A3: If the target information matches the preset authentication information, control the door lock body of the target smart door lock to perform the opening action.

[0100] Step A4: If the target information does not match the preset authentication information, control the target smart door lock to perform a closing action.

[0101] In this embodiment of the invention, when the target user does not select the corresponding normally open mode, each smart lock executes the authentication process at the lock end and controls the opening and closing of the lock body based on the authentication result. This can improve the effective control of the smart lock and meet the security requirements of the smart lock.

[0102] Step S602: Analyze the first control signal to determine the target smart door lock and its normally open time period. For details, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 Step S502 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described again here.

[0103] Step S603: During the normally open period, control the target smart lock to perform an opening action and acquire the current image of the target smart lock. For details, please refer to [link to details]. Figure 5 Step S503 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described again here.

[0104] Step S604: Detect whether there are any abnormalities in the current image.

[0105] In this embodiment, if there are no abnormalities in the current image, the smart door lock always-open mode control method of this embodiment further includes:

[0106] Step B1: Obtain the current time.

[0107] In this embodiment, the specific method of obtaining the current time is not limited, and it is determined based on conventional time acquisition methods in the field.

[0108] Step B2: Determine whether the current time is within the normally open period of the target smart lock.

[0109] Step B3: During the period when the target smart lock is normally open, control the lock body of the target smart lock to remain open.

[0110] Step B4: If the current time is not within the normally open period of the target smart door lock, control the door lock body of the target smart door lock to perform a closing action.

[0111] In this embodiment of the invention, when the smart door lock is not malfunctioning, the lock maintains its normally open state by determining in real time whether the current time meets the result corresponding to the set normally open time period, which can greatly enhance the accuracy and efficiency of normally open mode control.

[0112] Step S605: If an anomaly exists in the current image, a second control signal is generated. This second control signal is the closing signal for the target smart door lock.
