Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of smart homes, and in particular to a smart door lock control method, device, computer equipment, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of smart homes, the number of emergency assistance devices for seeking help is also increasing. In emergency situations, such as gas leaks, fires, or people falling or fainting indoors, people can use these devices to send out a distress signal to trigger an alarm and keep the door locks open. However, this method may pose certain safety hazards.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a smart door lock control solution that can improve security. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a smart door lock control method, device, computer equipment, storage medium, and computer program product that can improve security in response to the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] Firstly, this application provides a smart door lock control method. The method includes:

[0006] In response to the distress signal, outdoor object detection and processing were carried out;

[0007] If an outdoor object is detected, an image of the detected outdoor object is acquired to obtain an image of the outdoor object.

[0008] Identification is performed based on the outdoor object image to determine the identity information of the outdoor object;

[0009] If the identity information of the outdoor object indicates that the outdoor object's identity belongs to the preset identity, the smart door lock is controlled to perform the unlocking operation.

[0010] Secondly, this application also provides an intelligent door lock control device. The device includes:

[0011] The object detection module is used to detect outdoor objects within a preset time period in response to distress signals.

[0012] The image acquisition module is used to acquire images of detected outdoor objects and obtain images of the acquired outdoor objects.

[0013] The identity recognition module is used to identify outdoor objects based on the outdoor object map and determine the identity information of the outdoor objects.

[0014] The door lock control module is used to control the smart door lock to perform the unlocking operation when the identity information of the outdoor object indicates that the outdoor object's identity belongs to a preset identity.

[0015] In some embodiments, the object detection module is further configured to determine the source of the distress signal; if the distress signal is actively sent by an indoor object through the distress device, then anomaly detection is performed indoors, so that outdoor object detection processing is performed if anomaly is detected indoors; if the distress signal is automatically generated after confirming that anomaly exists indoors, then outdoor object detection processing is performed.

[0016] In some embodiments, the smart door lock control device of this application further includes an anomaly detection module, used to acquire gas detection results obtained by an indoor sensor detecting anomalies in the concentration of indoor gas. The anomaly detection module is also used to detect anomalies in the posture of indoor objects in an image captured by an image acquisition device. The anomaly detection module is further used to acquire vital sign detection results obtained by an electronic device worn by an indoor object detecting anomalies in the object's vital signs.

[0017] In some embodiments, the identity information of the outdoor object includes the occupational information of the outdoor object. The identity recognition module is further configured to perform feature detection on the clothing of the outdoor object in the outdoor object image to obtain occupational attribute features; and to perform occupational prediction based on the occupational attribute features to obtain the occupational information of the outdoor object. The door lock control module is further configured to control the smart door lock to perform an unlocking operation when the occupational information of the outdoor object indicates that the outdoor object's occupation belongs to the target occupation.

[0018] In some embodiments, the door lock control module is further configured to send a distress signal to a first terminal with unlocking authority when the identity information of the outdoor object indicates that the identity of the outdoor object does not belong to a preset identity, so that the first terminal confirms that unlocking is required and controls the smart door lock to perform an unlocking operation through the first terminal.

[0019] In some embodiments, the door lock control module is further configured to: send assistance request information generated in response to the distress signal to terminals within a preset range when the identity information of the outdoor object indicates that the outdoor object's identity does not belong to a preset identity; upon receiving assistance confirmation information returned by the second terminal in response to the assistance request information, collect the identity of the outdoor object using the second terminal to obtain identity collection information; the second terminal is a terminal within the preset range that returned the assistance confirmation information; and send the distress signal and identity collection information to the first terminal so that the first terminal, upon confirming the need for unlocking based on the distress signal and identity collection information, controls the smart door lock to perform an unlocking operation.

[0020] In some embodiments, the door lock control module is further configured to send a distress signal and identity collection information to a first terminal; and upon receiving unlocking confirmation information returned by the first terminal based on the distress signal and identity collection information, to send a temporary unlocking password to a second terminal, so that the second terminal controls the smart door lock to perform an unlocking operation based on the temporary unlocking password.

[0021] Thirdly, this application also provides a computer device, which includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a computer program, and the processor executes the computer program to implement the steps in the above-described smart door lock control method.

[0022] Fourthly, this application also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps in the above-described smart door lock control method.

[0023] Fifthly, this application also provides a computer program product, which includes a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps in the above-described smart door lock control method.

[0024] The aforementioned smart lock control method, device, computer equipment, storage medium, and computer program product control the smart lock to respond to a received distress signal by performing outdoor object detection processing to determine whether an outdoor object exists. When the smart lock detects an outdoor object, it acquires an image of the detected object, obtaining an image of the outdoor object. Based on the image features in the outdoor object image, the smart lock determines the identity information of the outdoor object, thereby determining whether the outdoor object is a person specifically providing assistance. The smart lock is only controlled to perform an unlocking operation when the outdoor object's identity is a preset identity, such as the outdoor object being a person specifically providing assistance. Compared to the existing technology of directly controlling the smart lock to perform a normally open operation, this method offers higher security. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0032] The smart door lock control method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 In the application environment shown, the emergency call device 102 can communicate with the smart lock 104 via a network. The data storage system can be integrated into the smart lock 104, or it can be located in the cloud or on other network servers. The emergency call device 102 sends an emergency call signal to the smart lock 104, and the smart lock 104 responds to the emergency call signal by performing outdoor object detection processing. Alternatively, the smart lock generates an emergency call signal when it confirms an anomaly indoors and performs outdoor object detection processing based on the generated emergency call signal. When the smart lock 104 detects an outdoor object, it acquires an image of the detected outdoor object, obtaining an image of the outdoor object. The smart lock 104 performs identity recognition based on the outdoor object image to determine the identity information of the outdoor object. If the identity information of the outdoor object indicates that the identity of the outdoor object belongs to a preset identity, the smart lock 104 is controlled to perform an unlocking operation. The emergency assistance device 102 may be, but is not limited to, various personal computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, IoT devices, and portable wearable devices. IoT devices may include emergency assistance buttons, smart speakers, smart TVs, smart air conditioners, cameras, smart sensors, etc., while portable wearable devices may include smartwatches, smart bracelets, head-mounted devices, etc.

[0033] It should be noted that an outdoor object image can be a single image or a collection of images. That is, image acquisition of an outdoor object can be either a single image or a video (an image or video composed of multiple frames). This will not be elaborated upon here.

[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, a smart door lock control method is provided, and the method is illustrated using an application to smart home devices as an example. Smart home devices can be, but are not limited to, smart control panels, smart door locks, etc. In this embodiment, the method includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

[0035] Step 202: In response to the distress signal, perform outdoor object detection processing.

[0036] Among them, the distress signal refers to the signal used to assist an indoor object in remotely requesting assistance from relevant rescue personnel, so as to instruct the relevant rescue personnel to arrive at the scene to help the indoor object.

[0037] In some embodiments, an indoor object can actively send a corresponding distress signal through a distress device. The distress device then sends this signal to the smart lock and initiates emergency contact to notify relevant rescue personnel to arrive at the scene and assist the indoor object. Specifically, the distress device can directly send the distress information to the smart lock, enabling it to perform subsequent detection and processing; alternatively, it can send the distress information to the home's central control unit, which then controls the smart lock to perform further detection and processing based on the distress information.

[0038] In other embodiments, anomaly detection can be performed indoors via a specific device connected to the smart lock, and a corresponding distress signal can be automatically generated if the specific device confirms an anomaly. The specific device then sends the distress signal directly or indirectly to the smart lock and initiates emergency contact based on the signal to notify relevant rescue personnel to arrive at the scene and assist the person inside.

[0039] In other embodiments, the person outdoors, after learning about the situation indoors, can proactively send a distress signal via a terminal app (help device). Upon receiving the distress signal, the smart lock will then initiate emergency contact to notify relevant rescue personnel to arrive at the scene and assist the person indoors.

[0040] In some embodiments, the relevant rescue personnel may be those specifically providing assistance, such as police officers, firefighters, medical personnel, and community management personnel. In some embodiments, the relevant rescue personnel may also be individuals acquainted with the person inside the house, such as the person's family, friends, and neighbors.

[0041] In practical applications, the emergency help device can be a standalone emergency help button or an emergency help button integrated into other smart home devices. The button can be a physical button or a virtual button (i.e., a touch-sensitive area). When an indoor occupant's mobility is restricted due to a sudden illness or accidental fall, pressing the emergency help button will generate a distress signal. This signal will then automatically dial the appropriate assistance number to notify specialists providing aid, such as police, firefighters, medical personnel, security guards, and property management staff, to arrive at the scene for rescue.

[0042] Outdoor object detection processing refers to detecting whether outdoor objects exist outdoors.

[0043] In some embodiments, a human body sensor can be used to detect whether a human body is approaching the smart lock. When a human body is detected, it indicates that an outdoor object has been detected. In other embodiments, a voice-activated sensor can also be used for human body proximity detection to detect whether a human body is approaching the smart lock. When a human body is detected, it indicates that an outdoor object has been detected. It should be noted that the human body sensor and the voice-activated sensor can be integrated inside the smart lock or can be set up independently of the smart lock. This application does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0044] Furthermore, to avoid false detection of outdoor objects, when a human body is detected approaching outdoors, the dwell time of the human body is further monitored. Only when the dwell time exceeds a preset time threshold (e.g., 8 seconds) is it determined that an outdoor object has been detected, and then outdoor user identity detection processing is performed.

[0045] Specifically, after receiving a distress signal from a help device or a specific device, the smart door lock responds to the distress signal by performing real-time outdoor object detection to detect the presence of outdoor objects.

[0046] In some embodiments, the smart lock can immediately perform outdoor object detection after receiving a distress signal. In other embodiments, to conserve resources, since rescue personnel need time to reach the scene, the smart lock may perform outdoor object detection some time after the distress signal is issued.

[0047] Step 204: If an outdoor object is detected, an image of the detected outdoor object is acquired to obtain an image of the outdoor object.

[0048] Among them, the outdoor object image refers to the image obtained by capturing images of outdoor objects through an image acquisition device integrated inside the smart lock or set up independently of the smart lock.

[0049] Specifically, when an outdoor object is detected, an image of the detected outdoor object is acquired to obtain an image of the outdoor object. If the smart lock does not detect an outdoor object, the outdoor object detection process continues until a corresponding outdoor object is detected.

[0050] Step 206: Perform identity recognition based on the outdoor object map to determine the identity information of the outdoor object.

[0051] Specifically, based on the outdoor object map, the outdoor objects included in the map are identified to determine their identity information. This identification can be performed via a smart door lock, or the image acquisition device can capture the outdoor object map and send it to a central control device or cloud server in the smart home. The central control device or cloud server then performs image recognition and controls the smart door lock to perform subsequent operations based on the recognition results. Alternatively, the image recognition results can be sent to the smart door lock to execute subsequent operations.

[0052] In some embodiments, identifying an outdoor object can be done by identifying the outdoor object's occupation, identifying whether the outdoor object is a person related to an indoor object, or identifying whether the outdoor object is a stranger.

[0053] Step 208: If the identity information of the outdoor object indicates that the identity of the outdoor object belongs to the preset identity, control the smart door lock to perform the unlocking operation.

[0054] The identity information of an outdoor object refers to the information used to characterize the identity of an outdoor object.

[0055] In some embodiments, the preset identity may be used to reflect the object's occupation, such as at least one of police officer, firefighter, medical worker, property manager, or security guard. In some embodiments, the preset identity may be an identity associated with the indoor object, such as being a family member or friend of the indoor object.

[0056] Specifically, if the smart lock determines that the outdoor object's identity information matches a preset identity, it will unlock the door, allowing the outdoor object to enter and provide assistance to the indoor occupants corresponding to the distress signal. If the smart lock determines that the outdoor object's identity information does not match a preset identity, it will not unlock the door to ensure security.

[0057] The aforementioned smart lock control method involves the smart lock responding to a received distress signal by detecting an outdoor object to determine its presence. If an outdoor object is detected, the smart lock acquires an image of it. Based on the image features, the smart lock determines the object's identity, thus identifying whether the person is specifically there to provide assistance. The smart lock only unlocks when the object's identity matches a pre-defined profile, such as someone specifically seeking help. This method offers higher security compared to directly controlling the smart lock to unlock.

[0058] In some embodiments, step 202 specifically includes, but is not limited to: determining the source of the distress signal; if the distress signal is actively sent by an indoor object through the distress device, then performing anomaly detection indoors, so as to perform outdoor object detection processing if anomaly is detected indoors; if the distress signal is automatically generated after confirming that anomaly exists indoors, then performing outdoor object detection processing.

[0059] Specifically, the source of the distress signal needs to be determined. If the distress signal is actively sent by an indoor object through the distress device, its authenticity needs further verification. That is, anomaly detection is required indoors. If an anomaly is detected, the distress signal is considered genuine, and outdoor object detection is necessary. If no anomaly is detected, the distress signal is considered invalid, and outdoor object detection and subsequent unlocking processes are unnecessary. This reduces computational resources and ensures security. If the distress signal is automatically generated after confirming an anomaly indoors, it is considered genuine, and the smart lock can directly perform outdoor object detection.

[0060] In some embodiments, the step "detecting anomalies indoors" specifically includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following processes: obtaining gas detection results obtained by indoor sensors detecting anomalies in indoor gas concentration; detecting anomalies in the posture of indoor objects in an image of indoor objects captured by an image acquisition device; and obtaining vital sign detection results obtained by electronic devices worn by indoor objects detecting anomalies in the vital signs of indoor objects.

[0061] Indoor sensors refer to sensors used to detect gases indoors.

[0062] In some embodiments, the indoor sensor includes at least one of a gas sensor, a carbon monoxide sensor, a carbon dioxide sensor, or a smoke sensor. It is understood that the gas sensor can be placed near a gas stove or gas pipeline to detect whether a gas leak has occurred indoors, while the carbon monoxide sensor, carbon dioxide sensor, and smoke sensor can detect whether a fire has occurred indoors.

[0063] In some embodiments, the image acquisition device may be one or more cameras installed indoors to comprehensively capture indoor images, or it may be an image acquisition device integrated into other smart home devices.

[0064] In some embodiments, the electronic device may be a wearable electronic device, such as a wearable watch, used to detect the vital signs and / or behaviors of an indoor object wearing the device, such as detecting the object's body temperature, heart rate, and other indicators, as well as monitoring for falls. It is understood that when the electronic device detects abnormal vital signs and / or behaviors of an indoor object, it can also send a distress signal directly or through a distress device.

[0065] In some embodiments, the electronic device can also detect whether indoor occupants are threatened. When the electronic device detects that an indoor object is threatened, it further confirms whether the indoor object is alone. If it is confirmed that the indoor object is not alone, it can send a distress signal directly or through a distress device.

[0066] Specifically, smart home devices can acquire gas detection results from indoor sensors that detect abnormal indoor gas concentrations. If the acquired gas detection results indicate an abnormal indoor gas concentration, an anomaly is determined to exist indoors. And / or the device can acquire an image of an indoor object captured by an image acquisition device, and perform anomaly detection on the posture of the indoor object in the image, such as detecting whether the indoor object has fallen or fainted. If a fall or fainting is detected, an anomaly is determined to exist indoors. And / or the device can also acquire vital sign detection results from electronic devices worn by the indoor object that detect abnormal vital signs. If the acquired vital sign detection results indicate abnormal vital signs of the indoor object, an anomaly is determined to exist indoors. In other words, this application, by monitoring abnormal indoor conditions, can ensure timely automatic assistance when an anomaly occurs indoors, and can also verify the authenticity of the assistance signal.

[0067] In some embodiments, the identity information of the outdoor object includes the occupational information of the outdoor object. Step 206 specifically includes, but is not limited to, performing feature detection on the clothing of the outdoor object in the outdoor object image to obtain occupational attribute features; and performing occupational prediction based on the occupational attribute features to obtain the occupational information of the outdoor object. Step 208 specifically includes, but is not limited to, controlling the smart door lock to perform an unlocking operation when the occupational information of the outdoor object indicates that the outdoor object's occupation belongs to the target occupation.

[0068] Among them, the occupational information of outdoor objects is used to characterize the occupation to which the outdoor objects belong.

[0069] Occupational attribute characteristics refer to the features used to characterize the occupation of an outdoor object.

[0070] The target occupation refers to the occupation of the person specifically providing assistance. In some embodiments, the target occupation includes at least one of the following: police officer, firefighter, doctor, nurse, security guard, or property manager.

[0071] In some embodiments, the target occupation is determined from a plurality of preset occupations and is matched with the type of help signal.

[0072] Specifically, the smart lock performs feature detection on the clothing worn by the outdoor object in the image, such as hats and uniforms, to obtain the outdoor object's occupational attribute characteristics. Based on these characteristics, the smart lock predicts the outdoor object's occupation to obtain its occupational information. If the outdoor object's occupation matches the target occupation, the smart lock is controlled to unlock, allowing the outdoor object to enter the building for rescue. Therefore, this embodiment, by predicting the outdoor object's occupation and only unlocking if it matches the target occupation, offers higher security compared to the traditional method of directly controlling the smart lock to unlock.

[0073] Under normal circumstances, outdoor subjects belonging to the target profession will typically wear professional hats or uniforms. In some special cases, however, outdoor subjects belonging to the target profession may not be wearing the corresponding hats or uniforms, but may be carrying profession-related tools, such as a first-aid kit. In this case, feature detection can be performed on the tools carried by the outdoor subject in the image to obtain the outdoor subject's professional attribute characteristics.

[0074] In some embodiments, after receiving a distress signal, the smart lock can determine the category of indoor anomaly by detecting the anomaly indoors. Based on this anomaly category, it can then estimate the occupation of the outdoor person offering assistance, obtaining the estimated occupation and its corresponding occupational attribute characteristics. Subsequently, the occupational attribute characteristics obtained from feature detection in the outdoor object's image can be compared with the occupational attribute characteristics corresponding to the estimated occupation. Based on the comparison result, it can be determined whether the outdoor object belongs to the estimated occupation. If it is determined that the outdoor object belongs to the estimated occupation, the smart lock can be controlled to automatically open the door to accelerate the identification process.

[0075] For example, the categories of indoor anomalies could include fire, user falls, etc. If the category of indoor anomaly is fire, then the estimated occupation of the outdoor person providing assistance based on the corresponding distress signal can be determined as a firefighter. If the category of indoor anomaly is user fainting, then the estimated occupation of the outdoor person providing assistance based on the corresponding distress signal can be determined as a medical worker.

[0076] In some embodiments, there can be multiple estimated occupations, and the smart lock can set the priority of these multiple estimated occupations according to the correlation between the estimated occupations and the categories of indoor anomalies. The estimated occupation to be compared is selected from the multiple estimated occupations according to the priority, and the occupational attribute features corresponding to the currently compared estimated occupation are compared with the occupational attribute features obtained by feature detection on the outdoor object map. If the comparison result indicates that the outdoor object does not belong to the currently compared estimated occupation, the above steps are repeated to determine whether the outdoor object belongs to a new currently compared estimated occupation.

[0077] For example, suppose the identified predicted occupations are medical personnel and police officers, with medical personnel having a higher priority than police officers. After acquiring the outdoor object image, the smart lock compares the occupational attribute features corresponding to medical personnel with the occupational attribute features obtained from feature detection in the outdoor object image. If the comparison result indicates that the outdoor object's occupation is not medical personnel, then the occupational attribute features corresponding to police officers are compared with the occupational attribute features obtained from feature detection in the outdoor object image to determine whether the indoor object's occupation is police officer. If the indoor object's occupation is determined to be police officer, the smart lock is controlled to perform an unlocking operation.

[0078] In some embodiments, after step 206, the smart door lock control method of this application embodiment further includes, but is not limited to, sending a help signal to a first terminal with unlocking authority when the identity information of the outdoor object indicates that the identity of the outdoor object does not belong to a preset identity, so that when the first terminal confirms that unlocking is required, the first terminal controls the smart door lock to perform an unlocking operation.

[0079] The first terminal with unlocking authority refers to the terminal that can control the smart door lock to perform unlocking operations.

[0080] Specifically, if the identity information of the outdoor object indicates that the object does not belong to a preset identity, to prevent delays in rescue time due to identity detection errors, it is possible to further consider sending the distress signal to a first terminal with unlocking authority. This allows the first terminal to determine whether unlocking is necessary, and if it confirms the need for unlocking, it controls the smart lock to perform the unlocking operation. This ensures both security and allows the outdoor object to enter the room promptly for rescue.

[0081] In some embodiments, the step "when the identity information of the outdoor object indicates that the identity of the outdoor object does not belong to the preset identity, send a help signal to a first terminal with unlocking authority, so that the first terminal confirms that unlocking is required, and then controls the smart lock to perform an unlocking operation through the first terminal" specifically includes, but is not limited to, the following: when the identity information of the outdoor object indicates that the identity of the outdoor object does not belong to the preset identity, send assistance request information generated in response to the help signal to terminals within a preset range; upon receiving assistance confirmation information returned by a second terminal in response to the assistance request information, collect the identity of the outdoor object using the second terminal to obtain identity collection information; and send the help signal and the identity collection information to the first terminal, so that the first terminal controls the smart lock to perform an unlocking operation when it confirms that unlocking is required based on the help signal and the identity collection information.

[0082] The second terminal is a terminal that returns assistance confirmation information from among the terminals within a preset range.

[0083] Specifically, if the identity information of the outdoor object indicates that the outdoor object's identity does not belong to a preset identity, then an assistance request message generated in response to the distress signal is sent to terminals within a preset range to prompt the outdoor object using the terminal within the preset range whether it is willing to provide assistance to the indoor object. When the smart lock receives an assistance confirmation message from the second terminal in response to the assistance request message, it indicates that the outdoor object using the second terminal is willing to provide assistance to the indoor object. At this time, the smart lock collects the identity information of the outdoor object using the second terminal, such as facial image and fingerprint. Then, it sends the distress signal and the collected identity information to the first terminal to prompt the user of the first terminal that the indoor object needs assistance and that an outdoor object is willing to enter the room to provide assistance. The user then confirms whether to allow the outdoor object using the second terminal to enter the room to provide assistance based on the collected identity information, and whether unlocking is required. If the second terminal determines that unlocking is required, it controls the smart lock to perform the unlocking operation. In this way, if the person specifically designated to provide assistance does not arrive in time, or if there is an error in the identity verification of the person specifically designated to provide assistance, assistance request information can be sent to nearby outdoor individuals, and after the identity verification of the surrounding outdoor individuals is passed, they can be promptly brought indoors to provide assistance.

[0084] In some embodiments, the step "sending a distress signal and identity information to a first terminal so that the first terminal controls the smart lock to perform an unlocking operation when it confirms the need to unlock based on the distress signal and identity information" specifically includes, but is not limited to: sending a distress signal and identity information to a first terminal; and, upon receiving unlocking confirmation information returned by the first terminal based on the distress signal and identity information, sending a temporary unlocking password to a second terminal so that the second terminal controls the smart lock to perform an unlocking operation based on the temporary unlocking password.

[0085] Specifically, the smart lock sends an emergency call signal and identity information to a first terminal. The first terminal then determines whether unlocking is necessary based on these signals. If unlocking is required, the first terminal sends an unlock confirmation message to the smart lock. Upon receiving the unlock confirmation message, the smart lock generates a temporary unlocking password and sends it to a second terminal. The second terminal then uses this password to control the smart lock to unlock, allowing an outdoor person using the second terminal to quickly enter the room for rescue.

[0086] In some embodiments, the preset identity is a child, and the smart door lock control method of this application further includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

[0087] (1) Respond to the distress signal and determine the source of the distress signal.

[0088] (2) If the distress signal is actively sent by an indoor object through the distress device, anomaly detection is performed indoors, and outdoor object detection is performed if an anomaly is detected indoors. If the distress signal is automatically generated after confirming an anomaly indoors, outdoor object detection is performed.

[0089] (3) When an outdoor object is detected, an image of the detected outdoor object is acquired to obtain an image of the outdoor object.

[0090] (4) Perform feature detection on the clothing of outdoor objects in the outdoor object map to obtain occupational attribute features.

[0091] (5) Based on occupational attribute characteristics, occupational prediction is performed to obtain occupational information of outdoor objects.

[0092] (6) If the occupation of the outdoor object is identified as belonging to the target occupation, proceed to step (7). If the identity information of the outdoor object is identified as not belonging to the preset identity, proceed to step (8).

[0093] (7) Control the smart door lock to perform the unlocking operation.

[0094] (8) Send assistance request information generated in response to the help request signal to terminals within a preset range; upon receiving assistance confirmation information returned by the second terminal in response to the assistance request information, collect the identity of the outdoor object using the second terminal to obtain identity collection information; the second terminal is the terminal that returned the assistance confirmation information within the preset range; send the help request signal and identity collection information to the first terminal; upon receiving unlocking confirmation information returned by the first terminal based on the help request signal and identity collection information, send a temporary unlocking password to the second terminal so that the second terminal controls the smart door lock to perform the unlocking operation based on the temporary unlocking password.

[0095] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts of the embodiments described above are shown sequentially according to the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless explicitly stated herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and they can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least some steps in the flowcharts of the embodiments described above may include multiple steps or multiple stages. These steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be performed alternately or in turn with other steps or at least some of the steps or stages of other steps.

[0096] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides an intelligent door lock control system for implementing the intelligent door lock control method described above. The solution provided by this system is similar to the implementation scheme described in the above method; therefore, the specific limitations in one or more intelligent door lock control system embodiments provided below can be found in the limitations of the intelligent door lock control method described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0097] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, an intelligent door lock control device is provided, including an object detection module 302, an image acquisition module 304, an identity recognition module 306, and a door lock control module 308, wherein:

[0098] The object detection module 302 is used to perform outdoor object detection processing within a preset time period in response to a distress signal;

[0099] The image acquisition module 304 is used to acquire an image of the detected outdoor object when an outdoor object is detected, and to obtain an image of the acquired outdoor object.

[0100] The identity recognition module 306 is used to perform identity recognition based on the outdoor object map and determine the identity information of the outdoor object;

[0101] The door lock control module 308 is used to control the smart door lock to perform an unlocking operation when the identity information of the outdoor object indicates that the outdoor object's identity belongs to a preset identity.

[0102] The aforementioned smart lock control device, in response to a received distress signal, performs outdoor object detection to determine the presence of an outdoor object. If an outdoor object is detected, the smart lock acquires an image of it. Based on the image features of the outdoor object, the smart lock determines its identity, identifying whether it is a family member, friend, or person providing assistance. The smart lock only unlocks if the outdoor object's identity matches a preset profile—for example, if it is a family member, friend, or person providing assistance. This method offers higher security compared to directly controlling the smart lock to unlock.
