[0024] It should be understood that, although the embodiments of the present application can adopt the terms first, second, third, etc. to describe various information, these information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, the first information can also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information can also be referred to as the first information without departing from the scope of the present application. In addition, the word "if" used can be interpreted as "when" or "when" or "in response to determining" depending on the context.

[0025] For the check-in scene of hotels, dormitories, hotels, etc., the room management method based on the electronic doorplate (i.e. electronic doorplate device) is proposed in the embodiments of the present application. The electronic doorplate can be used to control the opening of the door, so that the target user (such as a guest who needs to enter the room) does not need to carry a room card, avoiding the inconvenience of carrying a room card and the problem of easy loss of a room card, and ensuring the safety of the target user's belongings.

[0026] The electronic doorplate in the present embodiment can be a touch screen device, that is, the target user can operate the electronic doorplate to realize related functions. The electronic doorplate has a camera and supports image acquisition function, that is, the electronic doorplate acquires images through the camera. The electronic doorplate is deployed outside the room (fixed outside the room), and the target user needs to enter the room. At this time, the target user can operate the electronic doorplate outside the room to enter the room.

[0027] Referring to Figure 1 The UI (i.e. the graphical interface used by the electronic doorplate to display screen information to the target user) design diagram of the electronic doorplate is shown. The electronic doorplate can have the following functions:

[0028] 1. The electronic doorplate can display a LOGO, such as a hotel LOGO, of course, the electronic doorplate can also display other contents (such as displaying other contents at the LOGO position), which is not limited. Among them, the management platform can autonomously replace the LOGO content displayed by the electronic doorplate according to actual needs.

[0029] 2. The electronic doorplate can display a room number, such as 505, 1410, 8616, etc. This room number represents the unique identifier of the room. Among them, the management platform can autonomously set the room number displayed by the electronic doorplate according to actual needs. The room number can be 4 digits, and the room number can be 3 digits, which is not limited.

[0030] 3. The electronic doorplate can display an open door icon to realize the open door function based on the open door icon.

[0031] For example, for the check-in process of a target user (such as a tenant), the target user needs to register personal information at the front desk, the management platform collects the authentication information (such as face information, fingerprint information, etc.) of the target user, and sends the authentication information of the target user to the electronic doorplate, and the electronic doorplate stores the authentication information of the target user. Among them, assuming that the target user needs to check into room A, the management platform sends the authentication information of the target user to the electronic doorplate outside room A, which is used to control the door of room A.

[0032] When the target user needs to enter the room, the target user can click the door opening icon displayed on the electronic doorplate, so that the electronic doorplate can receive the room entry request of the target user. After receiving the room entry request of the target user, the electronic doorplate can authenticate the target user. If the target user is successfully authenticated, the electronic doorplate controls the opening of the door of the room. If the target user fails to authenticate, the electronic doorplate prohibits the opening of the door of the room.

[0033] For example, if the authentication information of the target user is the face information of the target user, when the electronic doorplate authenticates the target user, it can collect the face information of the target user, calculate the similarity between the face information of the target user and each face information (which can be multiple face information) stored by the electronic doorplate, and select the maximum similarity. If the maximum similarity is greater than a threshold value, the target user is successfully authenticated, and if the maximum similarity is not greater than the threshold value, the target user is not successfully authenticated. Alternatively, if the authentication information of the target user is the fingerprint information of the target user, when the electronic doorplate authenticates the target user, it can collect the fingerprint information of the target user, calculate the similarity between the fingerprint information of the target user and each fingerprint information (which can be multiple fingerprint information) stored by the electronic doorplate, and select the maximum similarity. If the maximum similarity is greater than a threshold value, the target user is successfully authenticated, and if the maximum similarity is not greater than the threshold value, the target user is not successfully authenticated.

[0034] For example, when the target user needs to enter the room, the target user can click the door opening icon displayed on the electronic doorplate, the electronic doorplate can enter the face recognition preview interface, and then collect the face information of the target user and start a timer. Before the timer expires, if the face information of the target user is successfully collected and it is determined that the target user is successfully authenticated based on the face information of the target user, the electronic doorplate controls the opening of the door. When the timer expires, if the face information of the target user is not successfully collected, the face recognition preview interface is exited, and the target user clicks the door opening icon again to repeat the above steps until the target user is successfully authenticated.

[0035] In a possible implementation, since a staff (such as a cleaner, etc.) needs to enter the room (such as cleaning the room, etc.) regularly, the management platform can collect the authentication information (such as face information, fingerprint information, etc.) of the staff, and send the authentication information of the staff to the electronic doorplate (such as all electronic doorplates or part of the electronic doorplates), and store the authentication information of the staff by the electronic doorplate.

[0036] When the staff needs to enter the room, the staff can click the door opening icon displayed on the electronic doorplate, so that the electronic doorplate can receive the room entry request of the staff. After receiving the room entry request of the staff, the electronic doorplate can authenticate the staff. If the staff authentication is successful, the electronic doorplate controls the opening of the room door. If the staff authentication fails, the electronic doorplate prohibits the opening of the room door.

[0037] In a possible implementation, since the management personnel (such as a hotel manager, etc.) need to deal with the emergency situation in the room, that is, there is an emergency demand to enter the room, the management platform can collect the authentication information (such as face information, fingerprint information, etc.) of the management personnel, and send the authentication information of the management personnel to the electronic doorplate (such as all electronic doorplates), and store the authentication information of the management personnel by the electronic doorplate.

[0038] When the management personnel needs to enter the room, the management personnel can click the door opening icon displayed on the electronic doorplate, and the electronic doorplate can receive the room entry request and authenticate the management personnel. If the management personnel authentication is successful, the electronic doorplate controls the opening of the room door. If the management personnel authentication fails, the electronic doorplate prohibits the opening of the room door.

[0039] 4、The electronic doorplate can display a doorbell icon, and realize a doorbell function based on the doorbell icon.

[0040] For example, the target user can open the doorbell icon (that is, switch from closing the doorbell icon to opening the doorbell icon), or close the doorbell icon (that is, switch from opening the doorbell icon to closing the doorbell icon).

[0041] If the doorbell icon has been opened, the doorbell icon is in a bright color state, in which case the visitor or the staff can click the doorbell icon to trigger the doorbell and talk to the target user in the room through the doorbell. If the doorbell icon has been closed, the doorbell icon is in a dark color state, in which case the visitor or the staff cannot trigger the doorbell even if they click the doorbell icon, and cannot talk to the target user in the room through the doorbell.

[0042] 5、The electronic doorplate can display a contact front desk icon, and realize a contact front desk function based on the contact front desk icon.

[0043] Exemplarily, the target user can click the contact front desk icon, and the electronic doorplate can directly call the staff of the front desk management center, so as to facilitate the direct contact between the target user and the staff.

[0044] 6、The electronic doorplate can display an in-check icon, which can be set by the management platform. When there is a target user in the room, the management platform can light up the in-check icon.

[0045] 7、The electronic doorplate can display a do not disturb icon, and the do not disturb function is realized based on the do not disturb icon.

[0046] Exemplarily, the state of the do not disturb icon is controlled by a physical button in the room. The target user can light up the do not disturb icon by the physical button, that is, turn on the do not disturb icon. In this case, the doorbell icon will automatically switch to the dark state, that is, from the on doorbell icon to the off doorbell icon. The target user can dim the do not disturb icon by the physical button, that is, turn off the do not disturb icon. In this case, the doorbell icon will automatically switch to the bright state, that is, from the off doorbell icon to the on doorbell icon.

[0047] Exemplarily, when the target user turns on the do not disturb icon, the electronic doorplate can also temporarily close the authority of the staff, for example, set the authentication information of the staff to an invalid state. In this case, when the staff clicks the open door icon displayed on the electronic doorplate, the electronic doorplate authenticates the staff based on the authentication information of the staff. Since the authentication information of the staff is in the invalid state, the staff authentication fails, thereby prohibiting the staff from entering the room. When the target user turns off the do not disturb icon, the electronic doorplate can restore the authority of the staff, for example, cancel the invalid state of the authentication information of the staff. In this case, when the staff clicks the open door icon displayed on the electronic doorplate, the electronic doorplate authenticates the staff based on the authentication information of the staff. Since the authentication information of the staff has been canceled to the invalid state, the staff authentication is successful, thereby allowing the staff to enter the room.

[0048] 8、The electronic doorplate can display an immediate cleaning icon, and the immediate cleaning function is realized based on the immediate cleaning icon.

[0049] Exemplarily, the state of the immediate cleaning icon is controlled by a physical button in the room, and the target user can light up the immediate cleaning icon by the physical button, i.e., turn on the immediate cleaning icon, in which case, the staff can enter the room to clean. After turning on the immediate cleaning icon, the doorbell icon is automatically switched to the bright color state, i.e., from the off doorbell icon to the on doorbell icon. The target user can darken the immediate cleaning icon by the physical button, i.e., turn off the immediate cleaning icon, in which case, the staff does not need to enter the room to clean. After turning off the immediate cleaning icon, the doorbell icon can be automatically switched to the dark color state, i.e., from the on doorbell icon to the off doorbell icon, or can remain the on doorbell icon.

[0050] As can be seen from the above, the electronic doorplate can realize the door opening function, the doorbell function, the contact front desk function, the do not disturb function, the immediate cleaning function, etc. On this basis, in the present embodiment, the electronic doorplate can also realize the stay management function. For example, the management platform can send the check-in time period of the target user to the electronic doorplate, and the electronic doorplate can store the check-in time period of the target user. Based on the check-in time period of the target user, the electronic doorplate can determine the check-out time of the target user. When the check-out time has arrived, if the target user does not handle the check-out, the electronic doorplate can send a reminder information to the target user. Wherein, if there is no subsequent accommodation personnel in the room, the target user is reminded to handle the stay or handle the check-out, if there is subsequent accommodation personnel in the room, the target user is reminded to handle the check-out, thereby realizing the management of the stay.

[0051] Exemplarily, after the target user handles the check-out, the electronic doorplate can also delete the authentication information corresponding to the target user, so that the target user only has the access permission of the room within the check-in time period, and the target user does not have the access permission of the room outside the check-in time period, thereby ensuring the security of the room.

[0052] In a possible implementation, the electronic doorplate can also realize the number of people counting function, determine the remaining number of people in the room based on the number of people counting function, and timely turn off the electronic devices (such as a television, a lamp, etc.) in the room when the remaining number of people is 0, such as the total power switch in the room linked with the electronic doorplate, by turning off the total power switch, the electronic devices in the room are turned off, thereby timely turning off the power of the room and saving electricity.

[0053] Exemplarily, due to the privacy of the room, a camera cannot be placed in the room, i.e., the remaining number of people in the room cannot be counted, based on this, in the present embodiment, the number of people counting function in the room can be realized by relying on the electronic doorplate, i.e., the number of people counting function in the room is realized by cooperation of multiple electronic doorplates.

[0054] In a possible implementation, referring to Figure 2As shown, it is a system structure diagram of the electronic doorplate, the electronic doorplate can interact with the management platform to complete the management and maintenance of the electronic doorplate configuration data and personnel information, and complete the functions such as intercom call and abnormal reporting. The electronic doorplate can interact with the room indoor machine / television to complete the functions such as video call and voice intercom. The electronic doorplate can interact with the door lock to complete the control of the opening of the door lock. The electronic doorplate can interact with the doorbell to complete the control of the doorbell signal. The electronic doorplate can interact with the electronic doorplate of other rooms to complete the function of counting the number of people.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, a room management method based on an electronic doorplate is proposed, which can be applied to a first electronic doorplate. The first electronic doorplate is deployed outside a first room. The first electronic doorplate can be any electronic doorplate among all electronic doorplates. The room corresponding to the first electronic doorplate is referred to as the first room.

[0056] For example, the room opposite to the first room can be referred to as a second room, and the electronic doorplate deployed outside the second room can be referred to as a second electronic doorplate. The second electronic doorplate is the electronic doorplate opposite to the first electronic doorplate, and the second electronic doorplate is deployed outside the second room opposite to the first room.

[0057] For example, the room beside the first room can be referred to as a third room, and the electronic doorplate deployed outside the third room can be referred to as a third electronic doorplate. The third electronic doorplate is the electronic doorplate beside the first electronic doorplate, and the third electronic doorplate is deployed outside the third room beside the first room.

[0058] For example, the management platform can send electronic doorplate configuration data to the first electronic doorplate. The electronic doorplate configuration data can include the position information of all electronic doorplates. Therefore, the first electronic doorplate can know which electronic doorplate is the second electronic doorplate (i.e., the electronic doorplate opposite to the first electronic doorplate) and which electronic doorplate is the third electronic doorplate (i.e., the electronic doorplate beside the first electronic doorplate) based on the position information of all electronic doorplates.

[0059] Referring to Figure 3 As shown, it is a flowchart of the room management method based on the electronic doorplate. The method comprises the following steps:

[0060] In step 301, after receiving a room entry request of a target user, the first electronic doorplate authenticates the target user. If the target user is successfully authenticated, the first electronic doorplate controls to open the door of the first room.

[0061] In step 302, after opening the door, the first electronic doorplate obtains a first number of users entering the first room in a first time period. The first number is determined based on a first image sequence corresponding to the first time period. The first image sequence is collected by the first electronic doorplate, the second electronic doorplate, or the third electronic doorplate.

[0062] In a possible implementation, if there is no obstruction in front of the second electronic doorplate, the first number of users entering the first room in the first time period can be obtained based on the first image sequence collected by the second electronic doorplate; or, if there is an obstruction in front of the second electronic doorplate and the target user moves from the first electronic doorplate to the door of the first room, the first number of users entering the first room in the first time period can be obtained based on the first image sequence collected by the first electronic doorplate; or, if there is an obstruction in front of the second electronic doorplate and the target user moves from the door of the first room to the first electronic doorplate, the first number of users entering the first room in the first time period can be obtained based on the first image sequence collected by the third electronic doorplate.

[0063] For example, the first number of users entering the first room in the first time period can be obtained based on the first image sequence collected by the second electronic doorplate, which can include but is not limited to: the first electronic doorplate sends a user number counting request message to the second electronic doorplate, the user number counting request message including information of the first time period, so that the second electronic doorplate collects the first image sequence corresponding to the first time period and determines the first number based on the first image sequence; and the first electronic doorplate receives the first number returned by the second electronic doorplate. Wherein, the starting time of the first time period is the time before the target user is successfully authenticated, or the opening time of the door of the first room; and the ending time of the first time period is the closing time of the door of the first room.

[0064] For example, the first number of users entering the first room in the first time period can be obtained based on the first image sequence collected by the first electronic doorplate, which can include but is not limited to: the first electronic doorplate collects the first image sequence corresponding to the first time period, determines the number of users performing a specified behavior based on the first image sequence, and determines the first number based on the number of users. The specified behavior is the behavior of turning to the door of the first room at the entrance of the first room. The starting time of the first time period is the time before the target user is successfully authenticated, or the opening time of the door of the first room; and the ending time of the first time period is the closing time of the door of the first room.

[0065] Exemplarily, the first quantity of users entering the first room in the first time period is obtained based on the first image sequence collected by the third electronic doorplate, which can include but is not limited to: the first electronic doorplate sends a people counting request message to the third electronic doorplate, the people counting request message including information of the first time period, so that the third electronic doorplate collects the first image sequence corresponding to the first time period, and determines the number of users performing the specified behavior based on the first image sequence, and determines the first quantity based on the number of users; the first electronic doorplate receives the first quantity returned by the third electronic doorplate. Wherein, the specified behavior is the behavior of turning to the door of the first room at the doorway of the first room; the starting time of the first time period is determined based on the time before the target user authentication succeeds and the target distance, or determined based on the opening time of the door of the first room and the target distance; the ending time of the first time period is determined based on the closing time of the door of the first room and the target distance; the target distance can be the distance between the first electronic doorplate and the third electronic doorplate.

[0066] Step 303, after the door of the first room is opened from the inside, a second quantity of users leaving the first room in a second time period is obtained, the second quantity being determined based on a second image sequence corresponding to the second time period, the second image sequence being collected by the first electronic doorplate, the second electronic doorplate or the third electronic doorplate.

[0067] In a possible implementation, if there is no obstruction in front of the second electronic doorplate, the first electronic doorplate can obtain the second quantity of users leaving the first room in the second time period based on the second image sequence collected by the second electronic doorplate; or, if there is an obstruction in front of the second electronic doorplate, the first electronic doorplate can obtain the second quantity of users leaving the first room in the second time period based on the second image sequence collected by the first electronic doorplate; or, if there is an obstruction in front of the second electronic doorplate, the first electronic doorplate can obtain the second quantity of users leaving the first room in the second time period based on the second image sequence collected by the third electronic doorplate.

[0068] Exemplarily, the second quantity of users leaving the first room in the second time period is obtained based on the second image sequence collected by the second electronic doorplate, which can include but is not limited to: the first electronic doorplate sends a people counting request message to the second electronic doorplate, the people counting request message including information of the second time period, so that the second electronic doorplate collects the second image sequence corresponding to the second time period, and determines the second quantity based on the second image sequence; the first electronic doorplate receives the second quantity returned by the second electronic doorplate. Wherein, the starting time of the second time period can be the opening time of the door of the first room; the ending time of the second time period can be the closing time of the door of the first room.

[0069] For example, the first electronic doorplate can collect a second image sequence corresponding to the second time period, determine the number of users who perform the specified behavior based on the second image sequence, and determine the second number based on the number of users. The specified behavior can be turning towards the exit at the doorway of the first room. The start time of the second time period can be the opening time of the first room. The end time of the second time period can be the closing time of the first room.

[0070] For example, the first electronic doorplate can collect a second image sequence corresponding to the second time period, determine the number of users who perform the specified behavior based on the second image sequence, and determine the second number based on the number of users. The specified behavior can be turning towards the exit at the doorway of the first room. The start time of the second time period can be the opening time of the first room. The end time of the second time period can be the closing time of the first room.

[0071] If the second number is greater than or equal to the first number and the target user leaves the first room, the first electronic doorplate sends the target user with the off-home mode switching information. If the off-home mode rejection response returned by the target user is not received, the electronic device in the first room is controlled to be turned off.

[0072] In a possible implementation, if the second number is greater than or equal to the first number and the target user does not leave the first room, the second number of users who leave the first room in the second time period is updated so that the updated second number is less than the first number, and the electronic device in the first room is prohibited from being turned off.

[0073] In a possible implementation, if the second number is less than the first number, the first electronic doorplate prohibits the electronic device in the first room from being turned off, regardless of whether the target user leaves the first room.

[0074] In one possible implementation, after the door to the first room is opened from the inside, if clear images of all users who have left are captured, and the target user is not identified based on these clear images, then it is determined that the target user has not left the first room; if clear images of some users who have left are captured, and the target user is not identified based on these clear images, then it is determined that the target user has left the first room; if the target user is identified based on the captured clear images, then it is determined that the target user has left the first room.

[0075] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, in this embodiment, the target user's authentication information can be entered into the electronic doorplate. When the target user needs to enter the room, authentication is performed. If the authentication is successful, the door is opened, eliminating the need for the target user to carry a room card, avoiding the inconvenience and potential loss of room cards, and ensuring the security of the target user's belongings. The electronic doorplate can display the target user's check-in information in real time, preventing disturbance during rest. It can also display room cleaning information in real time, ensuring timely cleaning and improving the user experience. Staff will not enter the room when someone is present, preventing disturbance and unauthorized interference. The system tracks the number of people entering and leaving the room to determine occupancy. When no one is in the room, electronic devices are turned off, i.e., the room power is switched off, entering energy-saving mode. This achieves the goals of saving electricity, conserving energy, and preventing energy waste. While ensuring room privacy and security (even without cameras), the system can still track the number of people entering and leaving the room, meeting the needs for convenient and safe check-in as well as energy conservation.

[0076] The technical solutions described above in the embodiments of this application will be explained below in conjunction with specific application scenarios.

[0077] Application Scenario 1: Application scenario where there are no obstructions in front of the second electronic doorplate.

[0078] See Figure 4A The diagram shown is a network topology diagram for application scenario 1. Assume room Ln is the first room, the electronic doorplate corresponding to room Ln is the first electronic doorplate, and room Rn is the second room opposite the first room, with the electronic doorplate corresponding to room Rn being the second electronic doorplate. Figure 4A The image shows two passengers: the target user and an accompanying user. Both the target user and the accompanying user need to enter room Ln. See also... Figure 4B The diagram shown is a simplified network topology diagram for application scenario 1, showing only room Rn and room Ln.

[0079] from Figure 4BIt can be seen that, for the process of the target user (the accompanying user) entering the room Ln, in the visual range of the first electronic doorplate (such as the camera on the first electronic doorplate), the target user cannot be completely seen entering the room Ln, and in the visual range of the second electronic doorplate, the target user can be completely seen entering the room Ln. In the visual range of the first electronic doorplate, it can be seen whether there is a user entering the room Rn, if there is no user entering the room Rn, it can be determined that there is no obstruction in front of the second electronic doorplate, if there is a user entering the room Rn, it can be determined that there is an obstruction in front of the second electronic doorplate. In the visual range of the first electronic doorplate, it can be seen whether there is a person overlapping, if there is a person overlapping, it is determined that there is an obstruction in front of the second electronic doorplate, if there is no person overlapping, it is determined that there is no obstruction in front of the second electronic doorplate.

[0080] Based on the above principle, in the embodiment, the room management method based on the electronic doorplate can include:

[0081] Step S11, the target user and the accompanying user enter the room Ln from the elevator door, and the target user performs authentication on the first electronic doorplate, such as clicking the door opening icon of the first electronic doorplate.

[0082] Step S12, after receiving the room entering request of the target user, the first electronic doorplate authenticates the target user; if the target user authentication fails, the target user has no permission to enter the room Ln, and the process ends. If the target user authentication is successful, the first electronic doorplate controls to open the door of the room Ln.

[0083] Step S13, after opening the door, the first electronic doorplate collects the image sequence corresponding to the first time period t1, and determines the number n1 of users who have specified behaviors based on the image sequence.

[0084] For example, for each user in the image sequence, the user's action needs to be analyzed, that is, it is determined whether the user has a specified behavior, if the user has a specified behavior, the user is included in the number n1 of users, if the user does not have a specified behavior, the user is not included in the number n1 of users, in this way, the first electronic doorplate can determine the number n1 of users who have specified behaviors. Wherein, the specified behavior is the behavior of turning to the direction of the door of the room Ln at the entrance of the room Ln.

[0085] The starting time of the first time period t1 can be the time before the target user is successfully authenticated, such as K seconds, for example, 5 seconds, 3 seconds, or the like, before the target user is successfully authenticated, or the starting time of the first time period t1 can be the time when the door of the room Ln is opened. For example, when the door of the room Ln is opened, the first electronic doorplate can obtain a signal that the door lock is opened, and the time when the door lock is closed is taken as the starting time of the first time period t1. The ending time of the first time period t1 is the time when the door of the room Ln is closed. For example, when the door of the room Ln is closed, the first electronic doorplate can obtain a signal that the door lock is closed, and the time when the door lock is closed is taken as the ending time of the first time period t1.

[0086] In step S14, the second electronic doorplate acquires the image sequence corresponding to the first time period t1, and determines the number of users n2 based on the image sequence. For example, the first electronic doorplate sends a number of people counting request message to the second electronic doorplate, the number of people counting request message including the starting time of the first time period t1 and the ending time of the first time period t1, so that the second electronic doorplate acquires the image sequence of the first time period t1 within the field of view.

[0087] For example, since the second electronic doorplate can completely see the process of the user entering the room Ln, for each user in the image sequence, the second electronic doorplate can know whether the user enters the room Ln, so that based on the image sequence corresponding to the first time period t1, the number of users n2 can be counted.

[0088] In step S15, the second electronic doorplate sends the number of users n2 to the first electronic doorplate. If the number of users n1 is the same as the number of users n2, the first electronic doorplate determines that the first number of users entering the room Ln in the first time period t1 is the number of users n1 or the number of users n2. If the number of users n1 is different from the number of users n2, the first electronic doorplate determines that the first number is the number of users n2, and the subsequent example is based on the number of users n2.

[0089] In step S16, after the door of the room Ln is opened from the inside, the first electronic doorplate acquires the image sequence corresponding to the second time period t2, and determines the number of users n3 who have the specified behavior based on the image sequence.

[0090] For example, for each user in the image sequence, the user's action needs to be analyzed, that is, it is determined whether the user has the specified behavior. If the specified behavior occurs, the user is included in the number of users n3. If the specified behavior does not occur, the user is not included in the number of users n3. In this way, the first electronic doorplate can determine the number of users n3 who have the specified behavior. The specified behavior can be the behavior of turning to the exit direction at the door of the room Ln. For example, if the user's back appears at the door of the room Ln first, and then turns to the exit direction, the user is included in the number of users n3.

[0091] The starting time of the second time period t2 can be the door opening time of the room Ln. For example, when the door of the room Ln is opened, the first electronic doorplate can obtain a signal of the door lock opening, and the time of the door lock opening (the time of the door magnet opening) is taken as the starting time of the second time period t2. The ending time of the second time period t2 is the door closing time of the room Ln. For example, when the door of the room Ln is closed, the first electronic doorplate can obtain a signal of the door lock closing, and the time of the door lock closing (the time of the door magnet closing) is taken as the ending time of the second time period t2.

[0092] In step S17, the second electronic doorplate acquires the image sequence corresponding to the second time period t2, and determines the number n4 of users based on the image sequence. For example, the first electronic doorplate sends a number of people counting request message to the second electronic doorplate, the number of people counting request message including the starting time of the second time period t2 and the ending time of the second time period t2, so that the second electronic doorplate acquires the image sequence of the second time period t2 in the field of view.

[0093] For example, since the second electronic doorplate can completely see the process of the user leaving the room Ln, for each user in the image sequence, the second electronic doorplate can know whether the user leaves the room Ln, so that based on the image sequence corresponding to the second time period t2, the number n4 of users can be counted.

[0094] In step S18, the second electronic doorplate sends the number n4 of users to the first electronic doorplate. If the number n3 of users is the same as the number n4 of users, the first electronic doorplate determines that the second number of users leaving the room Ln in the second time period t2 is the number n3 of users or the number n4 of users. If the number n3 of users is different from the number n4 of users, the first electronic doorplate determines that the second number is the number n4 of users, and the subsequent example is the number n4 of users.

[0095] In a possible implementation, each time a user enters the room Ln, the total number of all users entering the room Ln is updated, that is, the number of users entering the room Ln is added to the number of users who have entered the room Ln before, and the updated number of users is still referred to as the number n2 of users. Each time a user leaves the room Ln, the total number of all users leaving the room Ln is updated, that is, the number of users leaving the room Ln is added to the number of users who have left the room Ln before, and the updated number of users is still referred to as the number n4 of users, that is, the number of entries and the number of exits can be counted separately.

[0096] Step S19, if the user number n4 is less than the user number n2, i.e. the number of leaving users of the room Ln is less than the number of entering users of the room Ln, it indicates that there are still users in the room Ln, and therefore the first electronic doorplate prohibits the closing of the electronic devices in the room Ln. If the user number n4 is greater than or equal to the user number n2, i.e. the number of leaving users of the room Ln is greater than or equal to the number of entering users of the room Ln, it is determined whether the target user has left the room Ln. If yes, the first electronic doorplate sends the away mode switching information to the target user, and if no away mode rejection response is received from the target user, the electronic devices in the room Ln are controlled to be closed. If no, the user number n4 of the users who have left the room Ln in the second time period t2 is updated, so that the updated user number n4 is less than the user number n2, and the closing of the electronic devices in the room Ln is prohibited.

[0097] In a possible implementation, after the door of the room Ln is opened from the inside, the first electronic doorplate (or the second electronic doorplate, and the first electronic doorplate is taken as an example in the following description) can collect clear images of each user who has left. If the first electronic doorplate collects clear images of all the users who have left, and based on these clear images, the target user is not identified (i.e. the authentication information of all the users who have left is different from the authentication information of the target user), it is determined that the target user has not left the room Ln, i.e. the conclusion that the user number n4 is greater than or equal to the user number n2 is wrong, and the value of the user number n4 can be updated, so that the updated user number n4 is less than the user number n2, e.g. the updated user number n4 is the user number n2-1. In this case, the first electronic doorplate prohibits the closing of the electronic devices in the room Ln.

[0098] If the first electronic doorplate collects clear images of part of the users who have left, and based on these clear images, the target user is not identified, it is possible that the clear image of the target user is not collected, resulting in that the target user is not identified. Since the user number n4 is greater than or equal to the user number n2, it can be determined that the target user has left the room Ln. If the first electronic doorplate collects clear images of all the users who have left or part of the users who have left, and based on these clear images, the target user is identified (i.e. the authentication information of the users who have left is the same as the authentication information of the target user), it is determined that the target user has left the room Ln.

[0099] For example, if the number of users n4 is greater than or equal to the number of users n2, and the target user leaves the room Ln, the first electronic doorplate sends the target user the off-home mode switching information indicating that the room Ln is empty and wishes to switch to the off-home mode, in which the electronic devices in the room Ln need to be turned off, i.e. the power supply in the room Ln is turned off, so as to enter the energy-saving mode. In the off-home mode, the unnecessary power supply of the room needs to be turned off to ensure that the room saves energy as much as possible, thereby reducing energy consumption and preventing abnormal situations such as fire caused by the use of high-power electrical appliances in the absence of people.

[0100] For example, the off-home mode switching information is displayed to the target user through the screen of the first electronic doorplate (i.e. displayed when the target user leaves the room Ln), or the off-home mode switching information is sent to the target user through the mobile phone APP (i.e. the off-home mode switching information is sent to the mobile phone APP of the target user).

[0101] After the first electronic doorplate sends the off-home mode switching information to the target user, if the first electronic doorplate receives the off-home mode rejection response returned by the target user, i.e. the target user refuses to switch to the off-home mode, the first electronic doorplate will not turn off the electronic devices in the room Ln and continue to maintain the current mode.

[0102] If the first electronic doorplate receives the off-home mode agreement response returned by the target user, i.e. the target user agrees to switch to the off-home mode, the first electronic doorplate can turn off the electronic devices in the room Ln, and the room Ln switches to the off-home mode to save energy. If the first electronic doorplate does not receive any response (such as the off-home mode rejection response or the off-home mode agreement response) returned by the target user, the first electronic doorplate can turn off the electronic devices in the room Ln, and the room Ln switches to the off-home mode to save energy.

[0103] When the target user leaves the room Ln or enters the room Ln again, the first electronic doorplate judges the difference T between the end of stay time and the current time, and compares the difference T with the time T3 for reminding the user to handle the renewal of stay, if within the range of T3, the target user is reminded to handle the renewal of stay or check out.

[0104] Application scenario 2: application scenario in which there is an obstruction in front of the second electronic doorplate.

[0105] Referring to Figure 5A Fig. 2 shows a networking schematic diagram of the application scenario 2, assuming that the room Ln is the first room, the electronic doorplate corresponding to the room Ln is the first electronic doorplate, the room Rn is the second room opposite to the first room, and the electronic doorplate corresponding to the room Rn is the second electronic doorplate. Figure 5AFour passengers are shown, two passengers (target user and accompanying user) need to enter the room Ln, and the other two passengers need to enter the room Rn. Referring to Figure 5B As shown, it is a simplified networking diagram for application scenario 2, showing the room Rn and the room Ln.

[0106] From Figure 5B It can be seen that for the process of the target user entering the room Ln, in the visual range of the first electronic doorplate, the target user cannot be completely seen entering the room Ln, in the visual range of the second electronic doorplate, the target user can be completely seen entering the room Ln, but due to the existence of the obstruction in front of the second electronic doorplate, the visual range of the second electronic doorplate cannot completely see the target user entering the room Ln.

[0107] Based on the above principle, in the embodiment, the room management method based on the electronic doorplate can include:

[0108] Step S21, the target user and the accompanying user enter the room Ln from the elevator door, and the target user performs authentication on the first electronic doorplate, such as clicking the door opening icon of the first electronic doorplate.

[0109] Step S22, after receiving the room entry request of the target user, the first electronic doorplate authenticates the target user; if the target user authentication fails, the target user has no permission to enter the room Ln, and the process ends. If the target user authentication is successful, the first electronic doorplate controls to open the door of the room Ln.

[0110] Step S23, after opening the door, the first electronic doorplate collects the image sequence corresponding to the first time period t1, and determines the number n1 of users who perform the specified behavior based on the image sequence.

[0111] Step S24, the first electronic doorplate sends a number of people statistics request message to the second electronic doorplate, and the second electronic doorplate receives the number of people statistics request message. Since the personnel entering process of the room Rn on the side is being processed, and the task priority of the room Rn on the side is higher than that of the auxiliary door number statistics task, the second electronic doorplate returns a rejection message to the first electronic doorplate, indicating that the number of people cannot be counted at present.

[0112] Step S25, after the first electronic doorplate receives the rejection message returned by the second electronic doorplate, the first number of users entering the room Ln in the first time period t1 is determined as the user number n1.

[0113] Step S26, after the door of the room Ln is opened from the inside, the first electronic doorplate collects the image sequence corresponding to the second time period t2, and determines the number n2 of users who perform the specified behavior based on the image sequence.

[0114] Step S27, the first electronic doorbell sends a people counting request message to the second electronic doorbell, and after receiving the people counting request message, the second electronic doorbell returns a rejection message to the first electronic doorbell, indicating that the number of people cannot be counted at present, because the personnel entering / leaving process of the room Rn on the side is being processed, and the task priority of the room Rn on the side is higher than that of the auxiliary door people counting task.

[0115] Step S28, after the first electronic doorbell receives the rejection message returned by the second electronic doorbell, the first electronic doorbell determines the second number of users who leave the room Ln in the second time period t2 as the user number n2.

[0116] Step S29, if the user number n2 is less than the user number n1, the first electronic doorbell prohibits the closing of the electronic devices in the room Ln. If the user number n2 is greater than or equal to the user number n1, it is judged whether the target user has left the room Ln. If yes, the first electronic doorbell sends the away-from-home mode switching information to the target user, and if no away-from-home mode rejection response is received from the target user, the first electronic doorbell controls the closing of the electronic devices in the room Ln. If no, the user number n2 of the users who leave the room Ln in the second time period t2 is updated, so that the updated user number n2 is less than the user number n1, and the closing of the electronic devices in the room Ln is prohibited.

[0117] Application scenario 3: application scenario with shielding in front of the second electronic doorbell.

[0118] Compared with application scenario 2 / application scenario 1, in application scenario 3, the target user enters the room Ln, first passes through the door and then reaches the first electronic doorbell, while in application scenario 1 and application scenario 2, the target user enters the room Ln, first passes through the first electronic doorbell and then reaches the door.

[0119] Referring to Figure 6 Fig. 3 shows a networking diagram of application scenario 3, assuming that the room Ln is the first room, the electronic doorbell corresponding to the room Ln is the first electronic doorbell, then the room Ln+1 is the third room on the side of the first room (i.e. the room in the direction of the target user to reach the first room), and the electronic doorbell corresponding to the room Ln+1 is the third electronic doorbell. Figure 6 Two passengers are shown, which are the target user and the accompanying user, and the target user and the accompanying user need to enter the room Ln. From Figure 6 It can be seen that for the process of the target user entering the room Ln, the target user entering the room Ln cannot be completely seen in the visual range of the first electronic doorbell, and the target user entering the room Ln can be seen in the visual range of the third electronic doorbell.

[0120] Based on the above principle, in the embodiment, the electronic doorplate-based room management method can include:

[0121] Step S31, the target user and the accompanying user enter the room Ln from the elevator door, and the target user authenticates on the first electronic doorplate, such as clicking the door opening icon of the first electronic doorplate.

[0122] Step S32, after receiving the room entry request of the target user, the first electronic doorplate authenticates the target user; if the target user authentication fails, the target user has no permission to enter the room Ln, and the process ends. If the target user authentication is successful, the first electronic doorplate controls the opening of the door of the room Ln.

[0123] Step S33, after opening the door, the first electronic doorplate obtains the image sequence corresponding to the time period t1, and determines the number n1 of users who have the specified behavior based on the image sequence. The specified behavior is the behavior of turning to the direction of the door of the room Ln at the entrance of the room Ln. The starting time of the time period t1 can be the time before the target user authentication succeeds, such as K seconds before the target user authentication succeeds, or the starting time of the time period t1 can be the opening time of the door of the room Ln, and the ending time of the time period t1 is the closing time of the door of the room Ln.

[0124] Step S34, the third electronic doorplate obtains the image sequence corresponding to the time period t2, and determines the number n2 of users who have the specified behavior based on the image sequence. For example, the first electronic doorplate can send a number of people statistics request message to the third electronic doorplate, the number of people statistics request message includes the information of the time period t1, the third electronic doorplate can determine the time period t2 based on the information of the time period t1, and obtain the image sequence corresponding to the time period t2.

[0125] For example, the number of people statistics request message can include the starting time of the time period t1, and the third electronic doorplate determines the starting time of the time period t2 based on the starting time of the time period t1 and the target distance. The target distance can be the distance between the first electronic doorplate and the third electronic doorplate. Assuming that the target distance corresponds to x seconds, which means that the target user needs x seconds to move from the third electronic doorplate to the first electronic doorplate, x seconds can be an empirical value configured in advance, then the starting time of the time period t2 can be the difference between the starting time of the time period t1 and x, or the starting time of the time period t2 can be earlier than the difference between the starting time of the time period t1 and x.

[0126] For example, the number of people statistics request message can include the ending time of the time period t1, and the third electronic doorplate can determine the ending time of the time period t2 based on the ending time of the time period t1 and the target distance. For example, the ending time of the time period t2 can be the difference between the ending time of the time period t1 and x, or the ending time of the time period t2 can be later than the difference between the ending time of the time period t1 and x.

[0127] For example, after determining the time period t2, the third electronic doorplate can determine the number n2 of users who perform a specified behavior based on the image sequence corresponding to the time period t2, the specified behavior being the behavior of turning at the door of the room Ln at the door of the room Ln. For example, for each user in the image sequence, the user's actions are analyzed to determine whether the user performs the specified behavior, and if so, the user is included in the number n2 of users, and if not, the user is not included in the number n2 of users.

[0128] Step S35, the third electronic doorplate sends the number n2 of users to the first electronic doorplate, and if the number n1 of users is the same as the number n2 of users, the first electronic doorplate determines that the first number of users entering the room Ln during the time period t2 is the number n1 of users or the number n2 of users, and if the number n1 of users is different from the number n2 of users, the first electronic doorplate determines that the first number is the number n2 of users, and the number n2 of users is used as an example hereinafter.

[0129] Step S36, after the door of the room Ln is opened from the inside, the first electronic doorplate collects an image sequence corresponding to a time period t3, and determines a number n3 of users who perform a specified behavior based on the image sequence. The specified behavior can be the behavior of turning at the door of the room Ln in the direction of the exit. The starting time of the time period t3 can be the opening time of the door of the room Ln, and the ending time of the time period t3 can be the closing time of the door of the room Ln.

[0130] Step S37, the third electronic doorplate obtains an image sequence corresponding to a time period t4, and determines a number n4 of users who perform a specified behavior based on the image sequence. For example, the first electronic doorplate can send a number of people request message to the third electronic doorplate, the number of people request message including information of the time period t3, the third electronic doorplate can determine the time period t4 based on the information of the time period t3, and obtain the image sequence corresponding to the time period t4.

[0131] For example, the number of people request message can include the starting time of the time period t3, and the third electronic doorplate can determine the starting time of the time period t4 based on the starting time of the time period t3 and the target distance. For example, the number of people request message can include the ending time of the time period t3, and the third electronic doorplate can determine the ending time of the time period t4 based on the ending time of the time period t3 and the target distance. For example, after determining the time period t4, the third electronic doorplate can determine the number n4 of users who perform a specified behavior based on the image sequence corresponding to the time period t4, and the specified behavior can be the behavior of turning at the door of the room Ln in the direction of the exit.

[0132] Step S38, the third electronic doorbell sends the user quantity n4 to the first electronic doorbell, if the user quantity n3 is same as the user quantity n4, the first electronic doorbell determines the second quantity of the user who leaves the room Ln in the time period t4 is the user quantity n3 or the user quantity n4, if the user quantity n3 is different from the user quantity n4, the first electronic doorbell determines the second quantity is the user quantity n4, and the subsequent example is the user quantity n4.

[0133] Step S39, if the user quantity n4 is less than the user quantity n2, the first electronic doorbell prohibits to close the electronic device in the room Ln. If the user quantity n4 is greater than or equal to the user quantity n2, it is judged whether the target user has left the room Ln. If yes, the first electronic doorbell sends the away-from-home mode switching information to the target user, if the away-from-home mode rejection response returned by the target user is not received, the control closes the electronic device in the room Ln. If no, the user quantity n4 of the user who leaves the room Ln in the second time period t2 is updated, so that the updated user quantity n4 is less than the user quantity n2, and the electronic device in the room Ln is prohibited to be closed.

[0134] Based on the same application concept as the above method, an electronic doorbell-based room management device is proposed in the embodiments of the present application, which is applied to a first electronic doorbell, the first electronic doorbell is deployed outside a first room, as shown in Figure 7 The device can include:

[0135] An authentication module 71 is configured to authenticate the target user after receiving the room entry request of the target user, and control to open the door of the first room if the target user is authenticated successfully.

[0136] A first acquisition module 72 is configured to acquire a first quantity of users who enter the first room in a first time period after the door is opened, the first quantity is determined based on a first image sequence corresponding to the first time period, the first image sequence is collected by the first electronic doorbell, the second electronic doorbell or the third electronic doorbell, the second electronic doorbell is deployed outside a second room opposite to the first room, and the third electronic doorbell is deployed outside a third room beside the first room.

[0137] A second acquisition module 73 is configured to acquire a second quantity of users who leave the first room in a second time period after the door of the first room is opened from the inside, the second quantity is determined based on a second image sequence corresponding to the second time period, the second image sequence is collected by the first electronic doorbell, the second electronic doorbell or the third electronic doorbell.

[0138] The control module 74 is configured to send the target user the away mode switching information if the second quantity is greater than or equal to the first quantity and the target user leaves the first room, and control the electronic devices in the first room to be turned off if no away mode rejection response returned by the target user is received.

[0139] For example, the first acquisition module 72 is configured to acquire the first quantity of users entering the first room in the first time period based on the first image sequence collected by the second electronic doorbell if no obstruction exists in front of the second electronic doorbell, or based on the first image sequence collected by the first electronic doorbell if an obstruction exists in front of the second electronic doorbell and the target user moves from the first electronic doorbell to the door of the first room, or based on the first image sequence collected by the third electronic doorbell if an obstruction exists in front of the second electronic doorbell and the target user moves from the door of the first room to the first electronic doorbell.

[0140] For example, the first acquisition module 72 is configured to acquire the first quantity of users entering the first room in the first time period based on the first image sequence collected by the second electronic doorbell, and specifically configured to: send a quantity-of-persons counting request message to the second electronic doorbell, the quantity-of-persons counting request message including information of the first time period, so that the second electronic doorbell collects the first image sequence corresponding to the first time period and determines the first quantity based on the first image sequence; and receive the first quantity returned by the second electronic doorbell; wherein the starting time point of the first time period is a time point before the target user is authenticated successfully or an opening time point of the first room, and the ending time point of the first time period is a closing time point of the first room.

[0141] For example, the first acquisition module 72 is configured to acquire the first quantity of users entering the first room in the first time period based on the first image sequence collected by the first electronic doorbell, and specifically configured to: collect the first image sequence corresponding to the first time period, determine the quantity of users performing a specified behavior based on the first image sequence, and determine the first quantity based on the quantity of users; the specified behavior is a behavior of turning to the door of the first room at the entrance of the first room; the starting time point of the first time period is a time point before the target user is authenticated successfully or an opening time point of the first room, and the ending time point of the first time period is a closing time point of the first room.
