[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the control method of the smart door lock includes:

[0048] Step S110, in response to detecting the door opening and closing action, determining whether there is someone in the room.

[0049] In the first embodiment of the present invention, it can be determined that the door is opened by the unlocking action of the smart door lock, that is, when the smart door lock switches from a locked state to an unlocked state, it can be determined that the door opening and closing action is detected.

[0050] In the first embodiment of the present invention, a door opening and closing sensor may be provided for the door to detect whether the door is opened or closed by the door opening and closing sensor, thereby achieving the purpose of detecting the door opening and closing action.

[0051] In the present invention, indoor refers to all the internal spaces of a certain family house. For example, indoor may be three bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, a living room, etc. of a three-bedroom house.

[0052] Furthermore, in the first embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to detect whether there is someone in the room by any feasible method.

[0053] For example, whether there is someone in the room can be detected by using detection devices such as radar, infrared sensor, infrared camera, sound pickup module, etc. Preferably, each room can be equipped with a detection device to ensure the accuracy of the detection result.

[0054] When the detection device is an infrared camera, the image of the corresponding room is captured by the infrared camera to determine the area with higher temperature from the image, and the outline of the area is extracted to determine whether there is a person based on the outline to determine whether there is someone in the room.

[0055] When the detection device is a sound pickup module, the sound in the room is collected in real time by the sound pickup module, and the sound is analyzed to see whether it contains the sound made by a person, so as to determine whether there is a person in the room.

[0056] Those skilled in the art can understand that when there is someone in the room, it means that the person who opened and closed the door is not the last one, and the target appliance in the room is monitored by someone. When there is no one in the room, it means that the person who opened and closed the door is the last one, and the target appliance in the room is not monitored by anyone.

[0057] Step S120: If there is no one in the room, obtain the working status of all target electrical appliances in the room.

[0058] In the present invention, the target electrical appliances may include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following items: an air conditioner, a washing machine, a refrigerator, a kettle, an electric lamp, and an exhaust fan.

[0059] Furthermore, the working state of the target electrical appliance includes a normal working state and an abnormal working state. Examples are as follows:

[0060] If the target appliance is a refrigerator, the normal working state is turned on, and the abnormal working state is turned off and the refrigerator door is open.

[0061] If the target appliance is an air conditioner or a washing machine, the normal working state is off or standby, and the abnormal working state is on.

[0062] If the target electrical appliances are lights and exhaust fans, the normal working state is off and the abnormal working state is on.

[0063] Step S130: If at least one of all the target electrical appliances is in an abnormal working state, the smart door lock is controlled to remain unlocked, and the target electrical appliances in the abnormal working state are recorded as abnormal electrical appliances.

[0064] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that when the smart door lock remains unlocked, the smart door lock cannot lock the door. At this point, the user can determine that there are abnormal electrical appliances in the room, and then check the target electrical appliances in the room to identify the abnormal electrical appliances and eliminate the abnormality.

[0065] It can be seen that the first embodiment of the present invention can remind users whether there are abnormal appliances by checking the working status of home appliances when the last user goes out, so that users can check the abnormal appliances and avoid the situation where users forget to turn off the appliances when going out.

[0066] It should be noted that the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention is only a basic embodiment of the present invention. In other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also adjust, optimize and configure the schemes and steps in the above-mentioned embodiments as needed to achieve further technical effects. Other embodiments of the present invention different from the above-mentioned embodiments will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings hereinafter. Of course, those skilled in the art may also make appropriate modifications to the execution order, operating conditions and quantity of the steps in the embodiments to be described hereinafter according to actual needs. The modified embodiments do not deviate from the technical concept and / or technical principle of the present invention and should still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0067] like Figure 2 As shown, in some other embodiments of the present invention, the control method of the smart door lock includes:

[0068] Step S201, whether a door opening and closing action is detected, please refer to the above description of step S110 for details.

[0069] Step S202: If the door opening and closing action is detected, determine whether there is someone in the room. For details, please refer to the description of step S110 above. If there is someone, execute step S203; if there is no one, execute step S204.

[0070] Step S203, control the smart door lock to lock.

[0071] Step S204, obtaining the working status of all target electrical appliances in the room, for details please refer to the above description of step S120.

[0072] Step S205, whether there is an abnormal electrical appliance in an abnormal working state. If not, execute step S203. If so, execute step S206.

[0073] That is, if all target electrical appliances are in normal working state, step S203 is executed. If at least one of all target electrical appliances is in abnormal working state, step S206 is executed.

[0074] Step S206, control the smart door lock to remain unlocked.

[0075] Step S207, issuing a prompt message.

[0076] The step S207 is performed at the same time as or after the step S206, and specifically includes at least one of the following steps:

[0077] Step S2071, control the smart door lock to issue a prompt message. Specifically, control the smart door lock to issue a prompt message in the form of voice, and the content of the prompt message may include the name of the abnormal appliance and the location of the abnormal appliance. For example, control the smart door lock to issue a voice message: the washing machine is not turned off, the kitchen water heater is not turned off, the bathroom exhaust fan is not turned off, the living room air conditioner is not turned off, etc.

[0078] Step S2072: Send a prompt message to the target terminal device.

[0079] The target terminal device may be a mobile phone, tablet computer or other terminal device.

[0080] If the target electrical appliance can be remotely controlled, then after the target terminal device receives the prompt information, the user holding the target terminal device can remotely check and control the abnormal electrical appliance through the target terminal device to make the abnormal electrical appliance return to normal.

[0081] Optionally, while sending a prompt message to the target terminal device, it is also possible to detect whether the target terminal device is within a preset range to determine whether the user who is currently closing the door holds the target terminal device. If so, the user can return to the room to control the abnormal electrical appliances and make the abnormal electrical appliances normal. Specifically, it is possible to determine whether the target terminal device is within a preset range by detecting whether the smart door lock and the target terminal device are in the same local area network, or whether the two are connected via Bluetooth. Alternatively, it is also possible to determine whether the target terminal device is within a preset range (e.g., 50m, 60m, 100m, etc.) of the user's home through positioning technology.

[0082] Step S208, when receiving the clear exception instruction, execute step S203 to control the smart door lock to lock.

[0083] Among them, the clear exception instruction can be an instruction issued by the user through the target terminal device, or it can be an instruction issued when the clear exception operation key set on the door lock is triggered.

[0084] Step S209, when a preset number of door opening and closing actions are detected within a preset time period, execute step S203 to control the smart door lock to lock.

[0085] If the user detects a preset number of door opening and closing actions within a preset time, it means that the user is in a hurry or there are other special circumstances and there is no time to check or deal with the abnormal electrical appliances.

[0086] The preset duration may be any feasible time period, such as 10S, 30S, 60S, etc. The preset number of times may be any natural number greater than 1, such as 2, 3, 5, etc.

[0087] Based on the above description, those skilled in the art can understand that Figure 1 Compared with some embodiments shown in , this embodiment can also send out prompt information to remind users to check abnormal electrical appliances, so that users can quickly find abnormal electrical appliances and conduct troubleshooting. And by controlling the smart door lock to lock when a preset number of door opening and closing actions are detected within a preset time, the user can force the smart door lock to lock by opening and closing the door multiple times when in a hurry.

[0088] In addition, in other embodiments of the present invention, in order to enable the user to quickly know that the smart door lock cannot be locked due to the presence of abnormal electrical appliances, while controlling the smart door lock to remain unlocked, the smart door lock can also be controlled to emit an unlock prompt sound. The unlock prompt sound can be any feasible sound, such as a beep.

[0089] Furthermore, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also, as required, enable the control method to further include, when the execution result of step S202 is yes:

[0090] Step S301, determine whether there is a non-child in the room. If there is a non-child, execute step S203; if there is no non-child, execute step S204.

[0091] Among them, non-children are people with certain judgment abilities, such as children over 12 years old.

[0092] What those skilled in the art can understand is that when there are people in the room, the safety of children in the room can be ensured by checking whether there are people other than children in the room; and when there are people other than children, the smart door lock can be controlled to lock; when there are no people other than children, the working status of all target electrical appliances in the room can continue to be obtained.

[0093] like Figure 3 As shown, the present invention also provides a smart door lock control device 300, including a processor 310 and a memory 320, wherein the memory 320 stores a machine executable program 321, and when the machine executable program 321 is executed by the processor 310, it can implement the control method described in any of the above embodiments.

[0094] The processor 310 is an integrated circuit chip that has the ability to process signals. The processor 310 can be a general-purpose processor, such as a central processing unit (CPU), a network processor (NP), a digital signal processor (DSP), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, microprocessors, and any other conventional processors.

[0095] The memory 320 may include a memory and a non-volatile memory, and provide execution instructions and data to the processor 310. For example, the memory may be a high-speed random access memory (RAM), and the non-volatile memory may be at least one disk storage.

[0096] Furthermore, in the present invention, the control device 300 can be any feasible device, such as a cloud server, a backend server, a home smart speaker or other home smart devices.

[0097] like Figure 4 As shown, the present invention also provides a smart door lock 400, including a control module 410 and a storage module 420, wherein a machine executable program is stored on the storage module 420, and when the machine executable program is executed by the control module 410, the control method described in any of the above embodiments can be implemented.

[0098] The control module 410 may be the same as or different from the processor 310 described above; the storage module 420 may be the same as or different from the memory described above.
