Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of door access management, and in particular relates to a door access system and method that is easy to manage. Background Art

[0002] With the development of society, people's awareness of anti-theft is getting stronger and stronger. Many ordinary people's homes are equipped with smart door locks and peepholes. However, general smart door locks cannot be connected to the Internet and can only be used to open the door with local password verification. The peepholes cannot be connected to the Internet and are only used by people at home to check whether they know the outsiders, so as to determine whether they can open the door. It can be seen that the application of the above smart door locks and peepholes is not intelligent enough. When the user's friends visit, they need to call to notify the user to come out to open the door, or know the user's door lock password to enter, which is not convenient to use. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an access control system and method that is easy to manage, so as to solve the problem that the smart door locks in the prior art are not smart, and when friends visit, they need to be notified by phone to come out and open the door, or know the user's door lock password before entering, which is not convenient to use.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides an easy-to-manage access control system, including an access control controller, a card reader, an electromagnetic lock, a surveillance camera, a management platform and a mobile application terminal; the access control controller is a central control unit that manages access control points; the card reader supports three verification methods, namely RFID, fingerprint recognition and facial recognition; the management platform includes a user management module, an access control module, a monitoring and alarm module and a data recording and analysis module; a WebSocket protocol is established between the management platform and the mobile application terminal.

[0005] Preferably, the user management module is responsible for user registration, identity authentication and authority allocation; wherein, the user registration process includes entering personal information (such as name, ID number, mobile phone number, etc.) and selecting user type and role, and the user management module stores the entered personal information in a database for backup; after completing registration, the user logs in by entering a user name and password, and the system matches and verifies the input information to ensure that the information entered by the user is correct; at the same time, the user management module requires the user to set his own password policy to increase the security of the account; when the user successfully logs in, the system defaults to the administrator, and the administrator manages the new user through the user management module, including modifying user information, deleting users, adding new members, and changing user roles and permissions.

[0006] Preferably, the access control module generates temporary access rights and validity periods for users with temporary access.

[0007] Preferably, the monitoring and alarm module is provided with an intrusion detection unit, a sound detection unit, an image processing unit, a face recognition unit, a face discrimination unit, a background comparison unit and an alarm unit; specifically: a monitoring image is obtained by the monitoring camera, and then processed by the image processing unit and then enters the face recognition unit; if a face is recognized, the face discrimination unit determines whether it is a stranger; if no face is recognized, the background comparison unit detects whether there are abnormal objects; if it is detected that a stranger or an abnormal object stays for a time exceeding a threshold, the intrusion detection unit transmits an intrusion signal to the alarm unit, and the alarm signal is transmitted to the mobile application terminal through the management platform.

[0008] Preferably, the data recording and analysis module includes a data recording unit and a data analysis unit. The data recording unit automatically records each entry and exit. The data analysis unit analyzes and generates a report and communicates it to the mobile application terminal in real time. The specific process is as follows: S1. When the user passes the identity authentication successfully, the access controller will receive the user's authorization information and send this information to the management platform; S2. After receiving the message from the access controller, the management platform updates the access status of the user and adds all the historical entry and exit records of the user to the data record; S3, the data recording unit automatically records the time and user information of each entry and exit event, and stores this information in the database; S4. The data recording unit screens all entry and exit records according to time or user conditions at a fixed time every day, generates a report, and uploads it to the data analysis unit; S5. The data analysis unit analyzes the report generated by the data recording unit, and presents the analysis result to the mobile application terminal in the form of charts and text.

[0009] The present invention also provides a method for an access control system that is easy to manage, and the specific contents are as follows: for users who plan to visit, the administrator enters information into the user management module in advance, and the user management module generates a temporary access token for them. The users who plan to visit control the opening of the electromagnetic lock according to the temporary access token; for users who visit temporarily, the monitoring image of the users who visit temporarily is obtained through the monitoring camera, the persons in the monitoring image are identified and verified, and a notification signal is generated to remind the administrator to confirm. If the confirmation is not made within the specified time, the access control system starts to alarm. If the confirmation is made within the specified time, the administrator directly opens the electromagnetic lock through the mobile application terminal.

[0010] Preferably, the temporary access token is time-limited, and after the time expires, the temporary access token becomes invalid; the temporary access token is a temporary password, QR code, short interest code or electronic certificate.

[0011] Therefore, the present invention adopts the above-mentioned easy-to-manage access control system and method, which has the following beneficial effects: (1) Enhanced security: Temporary visitors must be identified and verified by surveillance cameras before they can enter the building, which increases security. If the administrator fails to confirm the user's identity within the specified time, the access control system will automatically alarm and alert the administrator, which improves security while also improving management and control efficiency. (2) Real-time monitoring: The system is equipped with surveillance cameras and mobile application terminals, which can monitor the entry and exit of the access control area in real time, detect abnormal situations in time and issue alarms to improve safety; (3) Intuitive data analysis: The system can automatically record each entry and exit event, generate reports, and conduct statistical analysis on the entry and exit situation, helping administrators better understand the usage and needs of access control.
