The appearance of the phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0046] In addition, in order to better illustrate the present invention, numerous specific details are provided in the following specific embodiments. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented without certain specific details. In some examples, methods, means, components and circuits well known to those skilled in the art are not described in detail in order to highlight the subject matter of the present invention.

[0047] At present, there is no message system in the traditional smart door lock to remind family members or visitors of events when the smart door lock is opened. Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a message system for smart door locks. The present invention adds a message function to the smart door lock, thereby realizing the event reminder function for family members or visitors when the smart door lock is opened.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] Provides a message system for smart door locks, reference Figure 1 ,include:

[0050] A recording module, used for recording first message data, where the first message data includes message information and identity information of the first user;

[0051] A storage module, connected to the recording module, used to store the first message data;

[0052] A message playing module, connected to the storage module, is used to play message information;

[0053] The message management module is connected to the storage module and the message playing module, and is used to control the message playing module to play the corresponding message information when the first user unlocks the door lock.

[0054] It can be understood that the first user leaves a message to be played, and the second user is the message setting object. The unlocking data includes but is not limited to fingerprint unlocking data, face unlocking data, IC card unlocking data and other unlocking data that can distinguish the identity of the user. In this embodiment, the fingerprint unlocking data is used to illustrate the message system:

[0055] In this embodiment, the resident sets a message in the recording module on the inside of the smart door lock, selects an authorized access control user or a group of authorized access control users to associate with the recorded message information, and forms a first message data, the format of which can be "message information-identity information of the first user", for example, "I'm going out to buy a meal tonight-user 1", "The meal is ready, heat it up before eating-user 2, user 3, user 4". The recorded message data is stored in the storage module of the smart door lock. When the smart door lock determines that the current fingerprint unlocking data is an authorized user, it opens the door lock and sends the fingerprint unlocking data to the message management module. The message management module determines whether the current fingerprint unlocking data matches the identity information of the first user corresponding to the message data in the storage module. If it matches, the message management module controls the message playback module to read the matched message information in the storage module and play it. For example, when user 1 successfully opens the access control through fingerprint recognition, the message management module determines that there is a matching message data of "I'm going out to buy a meal tonight-user 1" in the storage module, and then controls the message playback module to play the message information "I'm going out to buy a meal tonight". The system's message function can inform family members or visitors about important matters or temporary arrangements, especially for users such as the elderly and children who are not familiar with wearing smart devices.

[0056] Preferably, continue to refer to Figure 1 , also includes:

[0057] A remote recording module, used for remotely recording the second message data;

[0058] The server processing module is connected to the remote recording module and the storage module, and is used to send the second message data to the storage module.

[0059] It should be noted that the remote recording module includes but is not limited to mobile phone APP, mobile phone applets, computer web pages and computer software. Through the remote recording module, the message setting is performed, and an access control authorized user or a group of access control authorized users is selected to associate with the recorded message information to form a second message data, which is stored in the server processing module and sent to the storage module of the smart door lock through the server processing module. The second message data and the first message data are consistent in data format. The difference is that the first message data comes from the on-site recording, and the second message data can be recorded remotely. By adding the remote recording module and the server processing module, users with message permission no longer need to go to the site in person to record messages for reminders, which improves the convenience and practicality of the message system.

[0060] Preferably, the identity authentication data includes: fingerprint, face, voiceprint, iris, and IC card unlocking data.

[0061] In this embodiment, fingerprint unlocking data is used as unlocking data. Compared with face unlocking and IC card unlocking, fingerprint unlocking has unique advantages. First, fingerprint unlocking provides higher security because the fingerprint pattern is a unique biometric feature of each person and is not easy to forge. Secondly, fingerprint unlocking is simple and fast. There is no need to remember the password or carry an IC card. You only need to place the fingerprint on the identification module to complete the unlocking. In addition, fingerprint unlocking is not affected by external environments such as light and angle, and has higher stability. In general, fingerprint unlocking has significant advantages over face unlocking and IC card unlocking in terms of security, convenience, stability and privacy.

[0062] Preferably, when the first user unlocks the door lock, controlling the message playing module to play the corresponding message information includes:

[0063] If the current fingerprint unlocking data passes the unlocking verification of the smart door lock, determine whether there is message data in the storage module that is consistent with the identity information of the first user of the fingerprint unlocking data;

[0064] If there is consistent identity information of the first user, the message playing module is controlled to play the corresponding message information.

[0065] In this embodiment, the message management module determines whether the current fingerprint unlocking data matches the identity information of the first user corresponding to the message data in the storage module. If matched, the message management module controls the message playing module to read the matching message information in the storage module and play it.

[0066] Preferably, after storing the first message data, the storage module uploads the first message data to the server processing module.

[0067] In this embodiment, the storage module uploads the first message data to the server processing module after storing the first message data, which has the advantage of further enhancing data security and user experience. The first message data after uploading can be encrypted to avoid the risk of user information leakage; at the same time, after uploading, the server processing module can classify, analyze and process the message data, provide more detailed statistical data and more message processing options, and improve the efficiency and availability of the entire message system. In addition, the uploaded message data is also convenient for users to obtain and manage at any time, and they can view, delete and modify the uploaded message data anytime and anywhere, which increases the convenience of user interaction. This cooperation between the storage module and the server processing module gives full play to the data processing and analysis capabilities, and enhances the functionality, reliability and user experience of the message system.

[0068] Preferably, if the first or second message data corresponding to the message information does not trigger a play operation within a preset time, message expiration processing is performed, including:

[0069] Marking the expired first or second message data as expired data and uploading it to the server processing module;

[0070] Delete expired data in the storage module.

[0071] It should be noted that the preset time can be selected when setting the message. If there is no active setting, the system default expiration time interval is used as the preset time. First, by marking and uploading expired data to the server, the space of the storage module can be freed up and the storage efficiency of the system can be improved. Secondly, the server processing module can further process these expired data, such as performing data analysis, statistics or archiving, to obtain useful information or insights, and provide more comprehensive data support and analysis results. In addition, deleting expired data in the storage module can also reduce data leakage, data security and privacy risks, and ensure that user information is properly handled and protected. In general, uploading expired message data to the server processing module and deleting expired data in the storage module can improve storage efficiency, increase data value, and reduce security risks, thereby optimizing the functions and user experience of the entire message system.

[0072] Preferably, after controlling the message playing module to play the corresponding message information, the method further includes:

[0073] Mark the first or second message data corresponding to the message information as read data and upload it to the server processing module;

[0074] Delete the read data in the storage module.

[0075] Similarly, similar to marking and deleting expired data, by uploading the read data to the server and deleting the read data from the storage module of the smart door lock, the space of the storage module can be freed up, the storage efficiency of the system can be improved, the data value can be increased, and the security risks can be reduced, thereby optimizing the functions and user experience of the entire message system.

[0076] Preferably, after receiving the message, the first user records a reply message for the second user, and the reply message is played when the second user's smart device receives the reply message or the second user unlocks the door lock.

[0077] In this embodiment, the first user is the message reminder object, and the second user is the message setting object. After the first user opens the door lock and receives the message information, he can reply to the message information according to the prompt tone, and send the reply information to the second user (message setting object). The first user can use the interface on the access control device to reply. The user can choose to reply in the form of text message, voice message or preset reply template, etc. The reply information will be sent to the server through the network connection, and then the server will pass the reply information to the second user's smart device. The message reply method provides a two-way communication channel between the user and the message setter, so that the first user can reply to the message in time and communicate with the second user. This message reply can enable the second user to know the status of the message information more clearly and promote effective communication and interaction between the second user and the first user.

[0078] Example 2

[0079] Provides a message method for smart door locks, reference Figure 2 ,include:

[0080] S100, obtaining a plurality of message data and current unlocking data, wherein the message data includes message information and identity information of a first user;

[0081] S200, comparing multiple message data with current unlocking data;

[0082] S300, if there is message data that is consistent with the identity information of the first user who currently unlocks the data, play the corresponding message information;

[0083] S400, marking the played message information as read data and uploading it to the server;

[0084] S500, marking the message information that has not been played within a preset time as expired data and uploading it to the server;

[0085] S600, deleting read data and expired data.

[0086] It can be understood that the unlocking data includes but is not limited to fingerprint unlocking data, face unlocking data, IC card unlocking data and other unlocking data that can distinguish the identity of the user. In this embodiment, the fingerprint unlocking data is used to illustrate the message system:

[0087] In this embodiment, the message data is obtained through the recording module, and the format can be "message information-identity information of the first user", for example, "I'm going out to buy a meal tonight-user 1", "The meal is ready, heat it up yourself and eat it-user 2, user 3, user 4". User 1 presses his finger on the fingerprint identifier to obtain fingerprint unlocking data. When the smart door lock determines that the current fingerprint unlocking data is for an authorized user, it opens the door lock and determines whether the current fingerprint unlocking data matches the identity information of the first user corresponding to the message data in the storage module. If matched, the message management module controls the message playback module to read and play the matched message information in the storage module. For example, when user 1 successfully opens the access control through fingerprint recognition, the message management module determines that there is a matching message data of "I'm going out to buy dinner by myself tonight - User 1" in the storage module, then controls the message playback module to play the message information "I'm going out to buy dinner by myself tonight", and at the same time marks the message data of "I'm going out to buy dinner by myself tonight - User 1" as read data and uploads it to the server, and marks the message information that has not been played within a preset time as expired data and uploads it to the server. In order to reduce the storage pressure of the storage module, the message data marked as expired data and read data are deleted from the local storage module and only retained in the server, thereby realizing lightweight local storage.

[0088] In a possible embodiment, the same user may be matched with multiple message data at the same time. For example, when user 1 is matched with message data a "No playing with mobile phones tonight, do homework first - user 1" and message data b "The weather is cold, remember to wear more clothes - user 1, user 2, user 3", message data a and message data b are added to a play queue for orderly play, and the read data is uploaded to the server, thereby helping users track the read message data, and also providing an effective basis for subsequent message management. Furthermore, in order to reduce the storage pressure of the storage module, the system will also delete the message data from the storage module after it is marked as read and uploaded to the server. Through such operations, the system can clean up the storage space in time, improve the storage efficiency of the system, and ensure the stability and reliability of the storage module.

[0089] In a possible embodiment, the message setting personnel can set the conditions for the read data according to their own needs. For example, when a message data b "The weather is cold, everyone remember to wear more clothes - user 1, user 2, user 3" that is associated with the identity information of multiple first users is triggered for playback by user 1, user 2 and user 3 did not open the door lock, so they did not receive the message "The weather is cold, everyone remember to wear more clothes" reminder. Therefore, the message setting personnel can set the judgment conditions for the read data when setting the message data: "Message data of all associated persons who have received the message information is considered read data" or "Message data of any associated person who has received the message information is considered read data".

[0090] In a possible embodiment, after the user opens the door control and receives the message, he can respond to the message according to the prompt tone and send the response information to the message setter. The user can use the interface on the door control device to respond. The user can choose to respond in the form of text message, voice message or preset reply template, etc. The response information will be sent to the server through the network connection, and then the server will pass the response information to the message setter. The message response method provides a two-way communication channel between the user and the message setter, so that the user can respond to the message in time and communicate with the message setter. This message response can enable the message setter to know the status of the message information more clearly and promote effective interaction between the message setter and the user.

[0091] This message leaving method can inform family members or visitors about important matters or temporary arrangements, especially for users such as the elderly and children who are not familiar with wearing smart devices.
