Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for self-recovery of malfunctions in electronic devices, belonging to the field of access control technology, and particularly to an access control information collection device and its self-recovery method for malfunctions. Background Technology

[0002] Various electromagnetic interferences exist in nature, such as lightning surges, electrostatic discharge, and mains power conducted radiation interference. Current electronic devices are all subject to these interferences, but they can only resist a certain level of interference. Some require a power-down restart or reset to restore normal operation.

[0003] When electronic devices are subjected to interference, some components may freeze or fail to communicate. If no professional is available to promptly diagnose the problem and restart the device to restore normal operation, it will result in a very poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an access control information collection device and its self-recovery method for abnormal functions, so as to solve the problem that the access control information collection device cannot automatically recover when some functions fail or the device crashes after being interfered with in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention includes:

[0006] The present invention provides a technical solution for an access control information collection device. When the access control information collection device is working, it detects that a user has triggered a certain identity information collection module, collects the user's identity, and repairs and restarts the other identity information collection modules that have not been triggered.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Access control information collection devices are inevitably susceptible to interference, resulting in some functional modules crashing or failing to communicate. This invention eliminates the need for professional personnel to inspect and restart the device to resolve the issue, and also avoids setting up scheduled restarts (setting the time interval too long can still lead to prolonged crashes and negatively impacts user experience; excessively frequent restarts can also affect usability). This invention treats each user-triggered operation as an attempt to resolve a malfunction, performing identity verification while simultaneously restarting the remaining information collection modules. This invention proactively restarts and repairs each module based on user frequency and operations without affecting user experience, preventing prolonged malfunctions caused by interference and improving user experience.

[0008] Furthermore, a preset reset duration is also provided. Within the reset duration after any identity information collection module has been repaired and restarted, even if a user trigger is detected, the repair and restart will not be performed again.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this invention are: the probability of crashing and failing again in a short period of time after restarting is low, and normal operation can be met for a certain period of time after restarting and recovery. Therefore, this invention does not repeatedly restart based on user triggers during the reset time of the identity information collection module, avoiding frequent restarts of the identity information collection module that interfere with normal use when the access control system is frequently used due to high traffic volume, and also avoiding affecting the service life of the equipment.

[0010] Furthermore, the repair and restart of the identity information collection module is either a power-down restart or a reset restart.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention provides multiple restart methods, which can be adapted to different identity information collection modules with or without reset functions.

[0012] Furthermore, the identity information collection module includes two or more of the following methods: QR code recognition, contactless card recognition, face recognition, fingerprint recognition, touch button recognition, and palm vein recognition.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are: multiple identity information collection modules can meet the diversity of user needs, improve user selectivity and device popularity.

[0014] The present invention provides a technical solution for an access control information collection device, comprising a power supply module, a main processor module, and at least two identity information collection modules. The power supply module provides power to the main processor module and the identity information collection modules, and the main processor module is electrically connected to the identity information collection modules. The device is characterized in that, when the access control information collection device is in operation, if an identity information collection module detects that a user has triggered it, the main processor module collects and verifies the user's identity and controls the remaining untriggered identity information collection modules to repair and restart.

[0015] Furthermore, the main processor module also has a preset reset time. After any identity information collection module restarts, the repair and restart of the identity information collection module will not be performed within the reset time.

[0016] Furthermore, the main processor also controls the power supply to each identity information collection module by the power module. The main processor disconnects and then reconnects the power supply to the identity information collection module, thereby repairing and restarting the module by powering it down.

[0017] Furthermore, the main processor is electrically connected to the reset pins of each identity information collection module, and triggering the reset pins causes the corresponding identity information collection module to repair and restart.

[0018] Furthermore, the identity information collection module includes two or more of the following methods: QR code recognition, contactless card recognition, face recognition, fingerprint recognition, touch button recognition, and palm vein recognition. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the method and device control process for self-recovery from malfunctions of access control information collection equipment in this invention. Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] An embodiment of a self-recovery method for malfunctions in access control information collection equipment:

[0023] This invention addresses the problem of some functional modules of traditional access control information collection devices crashing or failing to communicate when interfered with, and proposes a self-recovery method for abnormal functions of access control information collection devices.

[0024] Traditional access control information collection devices may experience module malfunctions and communication failures when exposed to electromagnetic interference. If certain identity information collection modules malfunction or fail to communicate, and no technicians promptly detect and restart them, users will be unable to access the system, resulting in a poor user experience. Therefore, resolving the issue of malfunctioning access control information collection devices is of great importance.

[0025] This invention addresses the issue that when some identity information collection modules in an access control information collection system with multiple identification methods malfunction or fail to communicate, a user attempting to use a malfunctioning module without receiving a response will likely try other identity information collection methods. Furthermore, the probability of multiple identification methods failing simultaneously within a short period is relatively low. Based on these considerations, the invention's concept is to assume that when a user triggers an identity information collection module (indicating that the module is not malfunctioning and communication is normal), the system considers that the user has tried all identity information collection modules until the current module is successfully triggered. In other words, the system defaults to each successful trigger as an attempt made by the user upon discovering a malfunction. While performing identity recognition based on the current trigger (without interfering with normal user operation), other identity information collection modules are restarted, regardless of whether they are functioning normally or have malfunctioned. Through this method, when any one or more identity information collection modules malfunction or malfunction, as long as one functioning module is triggered by user operation, the remaining modules will be restarted and restored. Before all identity information collection modules fail, any user attempt will restore the device, maximizing normal device operation while restarting it at potentially malfunctioning points.

[0026] The access control information collection device in this embodiment includes a power module, a main processor module, and an identity information collection module. The identity information collection module includes, for example, a QR code recognition module, a contactless card recognition module, and a face recognition module, with connection modes and control methods as follows: Figure 1 As shown. The power supply connects the main processor module and each identity information acquisition module. The main processor controls the power supply to each module and is also connected to the reset pin of each identity information acquisition module. Each identity information acquisition module uploads identity information to the main processor module.

[0027] As an alternative implementation, the identity information module may also include modules for fingerprint recognition, touch button recognition, and palm vein recognition.

[0028] In the access control information collection device of this embodiment, the power supply module supplies power to the access control information collection device, and the main processor module is responsible for receiving the identity information uploaded by the identity information collection module; the QR code recognition module, contactless card recognition module, face recognition module and other identity information collection modules are powered by the power supply module and are enabled or reset by the main processor module; the QR code recognition module, contactless card recognition module, face recognition module and other identity information collection modules are used to collect user identity information.

[0029] The control logic of the self-recovery method for abnormal function of access control information collection equipment in this invention is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the steps are as follows:

[0030] 1. Upon power-up, the main processor module powers on directly, while the other modules are powered through their respective power control circuits, which are controlled by the main processor module. The reset duration is set to T = 30 minutes.

[0031] 2. After each module is working properly, it is in a normal power supply state.

[0032] 3. When a user triggers the arbitrary identity information collection module.

[0033] 4. The main processor module believes that the user is attempting an operation.

[0034] 5. Reset the identity information module (excluding those triggered by the user) by powering it on or resetting the reset pin.

[0035] 6. After resetting the remaining circuits, start timing from 0 for time t. If no user trigger occurs within the time t≤T, perform a reset operation.

[0036] 7. When t > T, wait for the user to trigger the arbitrary identity information collection module, and repeat step 3.

[0037] Compared to scheduled restarts, the method of this invention can avoid interfering with user operation, and by setting the reset time, it can also prevent the device from restarting frequently and reducing its service life.

[0038] Using the above method, when the device receives external interference and some functions freeze or malfunction, the user can attempt to restart the device by performing a trial operation, ensuring that all functions are usable and restoring functionality without the need for professional debugging and repair. Therefore, when the access control information collection device experiences EMC interference such as static electricity or surges, potentially causing some functional modules to freeze or fail to communicate, the user can trigger a trial operation of the normal identity information collection module, which in turn powers down or resets the remaining functional modules, resolving the issue of some functional modules freezing and improving the user experience.
