Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of hotel intelligent management, and in particular relates to a hotel intelligent energy-saving control system, method, equipment and medium. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the hotel industry and the increase in security needs, ensuring the safety of hotel lobbies and guest rooms has become an important issue. At present, the lobbies of most hotels are regarded as open public areas and do not have any form of access control system, which allows all people to enter and exit freely. Therefore, in order to maintain the safety of the lobby, hotels usually need to be equipped with dedicated security personnel for monitoring and management.

[0003] In order to further improve the overall security of hotels, some hotels have begun to try to install access control systems. However, most of the existing access control systems on the market are designed for long-term living environments such as buildings or apartments. The permission management of these systems is usually based on a longer period of time (such as months to years), rather than the frequent adjustment of permissions like hotels, especially when the permissions are changed once or multiple times a day. Therefore, the existing access control systems are difficult to adapt to the rapidly changing security needs of hotels.

[0004] In addition, in terms of energy management, traditional hotels usually control the power supply in guest rooms by inserting cards. This method provides one or more room cards for each guest, and the electrical equipment in the room, including lighting and air conditioning, can be started by inserting the room card into a specific socket. However, in the case of a single occupancy, the hotel often provides an additional room card in case of emergency. This room card is often placed in the card slot for inserting cards to obtain power, resulting in electrical equipment remaining powered even when the guest leaves the room, especially the air conditioner will continue to run, resulting in unnecessary energy waste.

[0005] To address this problem, some hotels have introduced human presence sensing technology, which detects whether there is someone in the room by installing sensors, and automatically cuts off the power when the room is empty. Although this method can save energy to a certain extent, due to the sensitivity and technical limitations of the sensor, misjudgment sometimes occurs, such as mistakenly thinking that the room is empty when the guest leaves the room for a short time and cutting off the power, or failing to correctly identify the presence of pets or moving objects in the room, resulting in continuous power supply, which affects the energy saving effect and customer experience.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the prior art for a technology that can take into account the convenience of public areas and the safety of guest room door locks, while meeting the safety and energy-saving requirements of hotel spaces. Summary of the invention

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application. In addition, it should be understood that the specific implementation methods described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.

[0030] It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments of the present application. In addition, in the following embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis, and for parts not described in detail in one embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant description of other embodiments.

[0031] As shown in Table 1, there are at least three door opening methods in the prior art, including door opening button, induction and access control machine. However, these three door opening methods have different disadvantages in hotel services. For example, door opening button and universal access control machine require button entry and card swipe, which reduces the user experience, while opening the door near the sensor will reduce the hotel's security level.

[0032] Table 1:

[0033] As shown in Table 2, there are at least the following sensing methods in the prior art, including infrared human sensing, millimeter-wave radar sensing, and face recognition, etc. However, these three sensing methods have different shortcomings in hotel services. For example, infrared human sensing has low accuracy in judging people in a stationary state, which affects the user's check-in experience; millimeter-wave radar is relatively expensive, which poses a greater challenge to hotel operating costs; and face recognition easily infringes on the privacy of guests.

[0034] Table 2:

[0035] In view of this, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first aspect of the present invention provides a hotel intelligent energy-saving control system, comprising: A sensing device, a room card authority management system and an energy consumption management system, wherein the sensing device is installed at a first preset position of the hotel and is respectively connected to the room card authority management system and the energy consumption management system via Ethernet.

[0036] Specifically, the sensing device can be an ultra-high frequency RFID reader / writer with an array antenna, and the first preset position is the entrance and exit of the hotel lobby, which can be placed near the electric door. If there are multiple entrances and exits of the hotel lobby, the number or installation position of the ultra-high frequency RFID reader / writer with an array antenna can be arranged according to the situation.

[0037] When the guest leaves the hotel through the first preset location with the room card, the sensing device determines that the guest has left the hotel and sends a room card invalidation instruction to the room card authority management system; The room card authority management system responds to the room card expiration instruction, queries the number of room cards that have left the hotel under the room corresponding to the room card, and sends it to the sensing device; When the sensor device finds that the number of room cards that have left the hotel is greater than the number of guests registered in the room, it determines that the guest's room is unoccupied and notifies the energy consumption management system to cut off the power supply to the guest's room.

[0038] Specifically, when a guest passes the first preset position with a room card, the UHF RFID reader / writer with the array antenna will determine that the movement trajectory of the room card is leaving the hotel. At this time, the room card authority management system will traverse and query the number of room cards that have left the hotel under the room corresponding to the room card based on the received room card expiration instruction. If the number of room cards that have left the hotel is greater than the number of registered guests in the room, for example, if one person lives in the room and receives two room cards, when this happens, if the movement trajectory of one of the room cards has been determined to be leaving the hotel, it naturally means that there is no guest in the house at this time, and the sensing device will cut off the power to the guest's room through the energy consumption management system.

[0039] Here, through this method, the present invention can at least solve the problem of providing two room cards for a single guest in the current hotel power supply mode of card insertion, but the power is not turned off when the person leaves the hotel, resulting in energy waste.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, when a guest enters the hotel through a first preset position with a room card, the sensing device determines that the guest has entered the hotel, and sends a room card validation instruction to the room card authority management system, and notifies the energy consumption management system to power on the guest's room or restore the state before the power failure. Preferably, in order to avoid frequent shutting down of electrical equipment in the room, the present invention also involves shutting down the room power supply if the guest does not return to the hotel within a preset time after leaving the hotel.

[0041] Here, in this way, the present invention can predict the user's intention to return to the room in advance, and can provide air conditioning or lighting services to the user in advance, further improving the user's stay experience.

[0042] Specifically, when a guest checks in, through manual or automatic registration, when the guest checks in, a room card is issued to the guest, and the room card authority management system can respond to the check-in operation, update the guest's room and the corresponding room card information and the authority time, the room card information includes but is not limited to the number of room cards and the authority time. The authority time is at least used by the sensing device to determine whether the guest enters the store or leaves the store.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, in an application scenario of the present invention, the sensing device can also be expressed as including at least one UHF RFID reader / writer, wherein the UHF RFID reader / writer at the first preset position is a first UHF RFID reader / writer, and the first preset position is the entrance and exit of the hotel lobby; the UHF RFID reader / writer at the second preset position is a second UHF RFID reader / writer, and the second preset position is the entrance and exit of the hotel guest rooms; the UHF RFID reader / writer is not installed with an UHF RFID reader / writer equipped with an array antenna.

[0044] When a resident enters the hotel through the first preset position with a room card, the sensing device determines before the guest enters the hotel. The sensing device determines the distance between the room card and the second preset position based on the strength difference of the UHF RFID reader at the first preset position and the second preset position, and selectively sends a room card validation instruction to the room card authority management system based on the distance.

[0045] Specifically, the selective sending of room card effectiveness instructions to the room card authority management system based on the distance includes: if the intensity of the ultra-high frequency RFID reader at the second preset position is higher than the intensity at the first preset position, and the intensity difference is higher than the preset value, and lasts for a first preset time, then a effectiveness instruction can be sent to the room card authority management system, and the energy consumption management system can be notified to power on the guest's room or restore the state before the power outage.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, in one application scenario, the sensing device can also be expressed as including at least one UHF RFID reader / writer, wherein the UHF RFID reader / writer at the first preset position is a first UHF RFID reader / writer, and the first preset position is the entrance and exit of the hotel lobby; the UHF RFID reader / writer at the second preset position is a second UHF RFID reader / writer, and the second preset position is the entrance and exit of the hotel guest rooms; the UHF RFID reader / writer at the third preset position is a second UHF RFID reader / writer, and the third preset position is the hotel lobby lounge area; the UHF RFID reader / writer is not installed with an UHF RFID reader / writer equipped with an array antenna.

[0047] When a resident enters the hotel through the first preset position with a room card, the sensing device determines the location of the room card based on the strength difference of the UHF RFID reader at the first preset position, the second preset position and the third preset position before the resident enters the hotel, and selectively sends a room card validation instruction to the room card authority management system based on the location.

[0048] Specifically, based on the positioning of signal strength, the approximate position of the tag (i.e., room card) is estimated by the difference in the strength of the same tag signal received by multiple RFID readers. This method can indirectly reflect whether the tag is far away from or close to a certain reader, thereby inferring the direction of movement. In addition to the three different positions shown in the present invention, more preset positions can be provided to meet the needs of precise service users. For the three preset positions shown in the present invention, the first preset position is located in the hotel lobby, which can lock the operation of the guest swiping the card to enter the hotel, the second preset position is located at the entrance and exit of the hotel room, which can be used to predict whether the guest has the intention to enter the room, and the third preset position is located in the hotel lounge, which can understand whether the guest is just stopping to rest. Psychologically or behaviorally.

[0049] Based on this, the selective sending of room card validation instructions to the room card authority management system based on the location includes: estimating the approximate location of the room card by the strength difference of the same tag signal received by multiple RFID readers and writers, so when the room card is located near the entrance and exit of the hotel room and lasts for a second preset time, a validation instruction can be sent to the room card authority management system, and the energy consumption management system is notified to power on the guest's room or restore the state before the power outage. When the room card is located near the hotel lounge area and lasts for a third preset time, no instructions will be sent to the room card authority management system.

[0050] In addition, the present invention can also use the phase difference of signals received by multiple RFID readers, the time difference of signals reaching different RFID readers, etc. to determine whether to send relevant instructions to the room card authority management system.

[0051] Here, through this method, the present invention can design the entry and exit antenna array, signal strength and other methods based on the actual scale and implementation capabilities of the hotel, and apply them to the hotel energy-saving control technology, which can not only save energy but also provide users with a better stay experience.

[0052] like Figure 5 As shown, the second aspect of the present invention provides a hotel intelligent energy-saving control method, comprising: Step S100: When a guest leaves the hotel through a first preset location with a room card, it is determined that the guest has left the hotel; Step S200: Query the number of checked-out room cards in the room corresponding to the room card; Step S300: when the number of room cards that have left the hotel is greater than the number of guests registered in the room, it is determined that the guest's room is unoccupied and the power supply to the guest's room is cut off.

[0053] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, it also includes: Step S400: When a guest enters the hotel through the first preset location with a room card, it is determined that the guest has entered the hotel; Step S500: Power on the guest's room or restore the state before power failure.

[0054] Based on the same idea as the system in the above embodiment, the hotel intelligent energy-saving control method provided in the present application is implemented by the system in the above embodiment.
