Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of public health and provides a method, device, equipment and medium for counting the number of people in a smart toilet. Background Art

[0002] Smart toilets are a new type of public toilet that combines Internet technology and smart devices to improve user experience and management efficiency. The visitor statistics of smart toilets can help evaluate the usage of public toilets and are of great significance for adding toilet seats, maintenance and cleaning of toilets.

[0003] There are two main methods for counting the number of people in smart toilets. The first method is to install an infrared sensor directly at the gate. Once someone passes through the gate, the infrared sensor is triggered to count once. The second method is to install an infrared sensor inside the toilet. Once someone enters the toilet, the infrared sensor is triggered to count once.

[0004] The first solution cannot distinguish between people entering and leaving. The same person entering and leaving will be counted repeatedly. The same person moving around at the door will cause the signal to be triggered repeatedly, resulting in repeated counting. In the second solution, if someone moves inside the toilet, the signal will also be triggered repeatedly, resulting in repeated counting. Therefore, the number of people counted by these two solutions is inaccurate. Summary of the invention

[0044] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other arbitrarily. In addition, although the logical order is shown in the flow chart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be performed in an order different from that here.

[0045] In order to solve the problem of inaccurate visitor statistics in existing smart toilets, the present application embodiment provides a method for visiting smart toilets, which is applied to the controller 5 of the smart toilet. Figure 1 , which is a structural diagram of the smart toilet involved in the embodiment of the present application.

[0046] The smart toilet includes a toilet body 1, a door panel 2, a door frame 3, a sensor 4 and a controller 5. The toilet body 1 includes three walls and a floor. The three walls are sealed by wood or plastic. The door panel 2 and the door frame 3 are installed on the side of the toilet body 1 where people enter and exit. The door panel 2 and the door frame 3 are made of metal materials. The door panel 2 and the door frame 3 are connected by hydraulic hinges. The door panel 2 can rotate around the connection. When the door panel 2 rotates to the door frame 3 and closes, the toilet body 1, the door panel 2 and the door frame 3 form a closed space, and people can use the toilet in this closed space.

[0047] A magnetic switch 6 is installed on the door frame 3, and the magnetic switch 6 is connected to a signal line 7. A magnetic device 8 is installed on the door panel 2, and the signal line 7 is communicatively connected to the controller 5. The magnetic switch 6 and the magnetic device 8 are installed on the same horizontal plane, the magnetic device 8 can be installed in the middle position of the height direction of the door panel 2, and the magnetic switch 6 can be installed in the middle position of the height direction of the door frame 3.

[0048] The sensor 4 is also connected to the controller 5 by communication. There are many types of sensors 4, such as infrared sensors, sound sensors, pressure sensors, etc. If the sensor 4 is a pressure sensor, the sensor 4 can only be installed on the floor of the toilet body 1. If the sensor 4 is an infrared sensor or a sound sensor, the sensor 4 can be installed on any wall of the toilet body 1, on the floor of the toilet body 1, or on the door frame 3.

[0049] It should be noted that Figure 1In the example, the smart toilet includes only one sensor 4, but in fact, the number of sensors 4 is not limited. When the smart toilet includes multiple sensors 4, the multiple sensors 4 can be different types of sensors 4, and the multiple sensors 4 can be installed at different positions inside the toilet body 1.

[0050] As mentioned above, the structure of the smart toilet is introduced. Figure 1 The smart toilet shown below Figure 2 A method for counting the number of people in smart toilets is introduced as shown in the figure.

[0051] S201. If a signal is received from the signal line 7 when the contact of the magnetic switch 6 and the contact of the magnetic device 8 are connected, it is determined that the door panel 2 is in a closed state.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 3 , is a schematic diagram of the closed door state involved in the embodiment of the present application. Please refer to Figure 4 , is a schematic diagram of the positions of the magnetic switch 6 and the magnetic device 8 when the door is closed according to the embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that when the door panel 2 of the smart toilet is in a closed state, the distance between the magnetic switch 6 on the door frame 3 and the magnetic device 8 on the door panel 2 is relatively close. Under the action of the magnetic force of the magnetic device 8, the two contacts of the magnetic switch 6 are in a closed state, and the signal line 7 on the two contacts is also in an on state. At this time, the signal will be input to the controller 5 through the signal line 7. When the controller 5 receives the signal sent by the signal line 7, it can determine that the door panel 2 is in a closed state.

[0053] S202: If no signal is received from the signal line 7, it is determined that the door panel 2 is in an open state.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 5 , is a schematic diagram of the door opening state involved in the embodiment of the present application. Please refer to Figure 6 , is a schematic diagram of the positions of the magnetic switch 6 and the magnetic device 8 when the door is open according to the embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 and Figure 6 It can be seen that when the door panel 2 of the smart toilet is in the open state, the distance between the magnetic switch 6 on the door frame 3 and the magnetic device 8 on the door panel 2 is relatively far, and the magnetic switch 6 is not affected by the magnetic force of the magnetic device 8, and its two contacts are in the disconnected state. At this time, the controller 5 cannot receive the signal sent by the signal line 7, and it is determined that the door panel 2 is in the open state.

[0055] S203: If it is determined that the door panel 2 is in the closed state and a personnel signal sent by the sensor 4 is received, the person count is controlled to be increased by 1.

[0056] In the specific implementation process, the sensor 4 can detect whether there is a person in the toilet body 1. After determining that there is a person in the toilet body 1, the sensor 4 sends a person signal to the controller 5. The person signal is used to indicate that there is a person in the toilet body 1. Since there are many types of sensors 4, different sensors 4 have different detection methods, which are introduced below in different situations.

[0057] In the first case, the sensor 4 is an infrared sensor.

[0058] The sensor 4 (infrared sensor) is usually composed of one or more infrared detection elements, which can sense infrared radiation of different wavelengths. When a person enters the detection area of ​​the sensor 4 (infrared sensor), the sensor 4 (infrared sensor) receives the infrared radiation signal emitted by the human body. If the received infrared radiation signal exceeds a preset threshold, it is determined that there is a person in the toilet body 1, and a person signal is sent to the controller 5.

[0059] In the second case, the sensor 4 is a sound sensor.

[0060] The sensor 4 (sound sensor) can analyze and capture the sound signals in the environment. If the detected sound intensity exceeds a preset sound threshold, it is determined that there is a person in the toilet body 1 and a person signal is sent to the controller 5.

[0061] In the third case, the sensor 4 is a pressure sensor.

[0062] When someone enters the toilet body 1 and stands on the sensor 4 (pressure sensor), the sensor 4 (pressure sensor) detects the pressure generated by the body weight. If the pressure exceeds the preset pressure threshold, it is determined that there is a person in the toilet body 1 and a person signal is sent to the controller 5.

[0063] Furthermore, the controller 5 continuously receives the signal sent by the signal line 7, and thus determines that the door panel 2 is always in the closed state. If a personnel signal sent by the sensor 4 is received during the period when the door panel 2 is in the closed state, the control person count is increased by 1.

[0064] In a possible embodiment, the smart toilet includes a plurality of sensors 4 of different types, and the step of receiving a personnel signal sent by the sensor 4 includes:

[0065] Personnel signals sent by sensors 4 exceeding a preset number are received; the preset number is half of the total number of the multiple sensors 4 of different types.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, considering that a single sensor 4 may have detection errors or malfunctions, the detection results of multiple different types of sensors 4 are combined, and the complementary information of different sensors 4 can reduce false positives and false negatives, and can more accurately monitor whether there are people in the toilet body 1, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent person-time statistics. If a sensor 4 fails, other sensors 4 can still send personnel signals to ensure the stability and reliability of the system.

[0067] In actual applications, some sensors 4 may be affected by factors such as environmental noise and physical interference, resulting in errors in the detection results. As long as more than half of the sensors 4 send personnel signals, it is determined that there is a person in the toilet body 1. Relying on the detection results of most sensors 4 can better deal with these uncertainties.

[0068] In a possible embodiment, after determining that the door panel 2 is in a closed state and receiving a personnel signal sent by the sensor 4, the person count is controlled to be increased by 1 and the timing is started; if within a preset time period, it is determined that the state of the door panel 2 has changed, or the personnel signal sent by the sensor 4 is received again, the person count is controlled to remain unchanged; wherein, the change in the state of the door panel 2 refers to the door panel 2 changing from a closed state to an open state and / or the door panel 2 changing from an open state to a closed state.

[0069] In the specific implementation process, considering that it usually takes a certain amount of time for people to go to the toilet, from entering the door to leaving the door, the controller 5 starts timing after controlling the number of people to count by 1, and continuously monitors the state of the door panel 2 and the personnel signal within the preset time. If the state of the door panel 2 changes, or the personnel signal sent by the sensor 4 is received again, it may be that the same person is doing other activities besides going to the toilet. For example, a person moves and then stays still in the toilet, causing the signal to be triggered repeatedly. Therefore, the result of the number of people output by the controller 5 remains unchanged, which can avoid repeated counting and ensure the accuracy of the number of people statistics.

[0070] In a possible embodiment, after the timing starts, if after a preset time period, it is determined that the state of the door panel 2 has changed, and a personnel signal sent by the sensor 4 is received again, the person count is controlled to be increased by 1.

[0071] In the specific implementation process, after the preset time, if the door panel 2 changes from the closed state to the open state, it means that the toilet user has opened the door and gone out. If the door panel 2 changes from the open state to the closed state and receives the personnel signal sent by the sensor 4, it means that another person has come in. At this time, the controller 5 outputs the result of the number of people plus 1.

[0072] In a possible embodiment, after the timing starts, if after a preset time period, it is determined that the door panel 2 is always in the closed state, and a personnel signal sent by the sensor 4 is received again, the person count is controlled to remain unchanged.

[0073] During the specific implementation process, after the preset time, even if a personnel signal is detected, the door panel 2 remains in the closed state, indicating that no one enters or exits the smart toilet. It may be that the same person is repeatedly detected by the sensor 4 in the toilet. Therefore, the controller 5 outputs the result of the number of people unchanged, which can avoid repeated counting and ensure the accuracy of the number of people statistics.

[0074] The above introduces the process of counting the number of people in a smart toilet, which involves a preset time. The preset time can be an empirical value, such as 30 seconds. The preset time can also be determined in the following way.

[0075] In a possible embodiment, the toilet time of multiple target persons is counted according to the duration of the door panel 2 changing from the closed state to the open state; and the average toilet time of the multiple target persons is determined as the preset time.

[0076] In the specific implementation process, the state change of the door panel 2 is continuously monitored. When the door panel 2 changes from the open state to the closed state, the timing is started and the start time of toileting is recorded. When the door panel 2 changes from the closed state to the open state, the timing is stopped and the end time of toileting is recorded. The toileting time of each person is equal to the end time of toileting minus the start time of toileting, and the average toileting time of multiple target persons is taken as the preset time.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, by analyzing the toilet time of multiple people, more accurate data can be obtained to formulate a reasonable preset time and avoid errors caused by single experience.

[0078] In a possible embodiment, if the smart toilet is a men's toilet, the multiple target persons are determined to be multiple boys; if the smart toilet is a women's toilet, the multiple target persons are determined to be multiple girls; if the smart toilet is a neutral toilet, the multiple target persons are determined to be multiple boys and multiple girls.

[0079] During the specific implementation process, if the smart toilet is a men's toilet for boys only, the preset time is determined based on the toilet time of multiple boys. If the smart toilet is a women's toilet for girls only, the preset time is determined based on the toilet time of multiple girls. If the smart toilet is a neutral toilet shared by boys and girls, the preset time is determined based on the toilet time of multiple boys and girls.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, considering that the toilet time of different genders is different, the toilet time of girls is usually longer than that of boys. According to the toilet time data of different genders, preset time lengths are set for different types of toilets respectively, and the number of people can be counted more accurately based on the preset time lengths later.

[0081] In summary, traditional person-time counting uses a single sensor device to detect the passage of people in a certain place, but cannot distinguish between people entering and leaving, resulting in repeated counting. The present application provides a method for counting people in a smart toilet, which uses two sensor devices in combination. The sensor 4 does not count when it detects a person. The person-time counting is performed only when the door panel 2 is in a closed state and there are people in the toilet body 1, thus avoiding repeated counting of the same person entering and leaving. In addition, the present application combines people's toilet habits, eliminates external environmental interference (such as vibrations, intense activities outside the door), and identifies the situation of the same person in the toilet (such as a person moving and standing still in the toilet), so as to accurately count the number of people.

[0082] Based on the same invention concept, please refer to Figure 7 The present application also provides a smart toilet visitor counting device; the device is arranged in a controller 5 of the smart toilet, and the smart toilet further comprises a toilet body 1, a door panel 2, a door frame 3, and a sensor 4; a magnetic switch 6 is installed on the door frame 3, the magnetic switch 6 is connected to a signal line 7, and a magnetic device 8 is installed on the door panel 2; the magnetic switch 6 and the magnetic device 8 are installed on the same horizontal plane; the device comprises:

[0088] Optionally, the control module is further configured to:
