After receiving the command, the elevator control module opens the elevator to the visitor. B. Visitor calling the elevator: the visitor uses the unit door machine to call the indoor intelligent terminal through the network, and the door machine records the room number information of the called resident. After the indoor intelligent terminal answers the call, press the "unlock" button, and then send the "unlock" command to the server through the network. After receiving the command, the elevator control module opens the elevator to the visitor. The device includes an indoor machine, a unit door machine, a switch, a server, an elevator, and a local area network, wherein the indoor machine is connected to the server through the switch and the local area network, and connected to the elevator through the unit door machine. Visitors use the unit door machine to call the indoor intelligent terminal through the network, and the door machine records the room number information of the called resident. After the indoor intelligent terminal answers the call, press the "unlock" button, and send the "unlock" command to the server through the network. After the server receives the command, it forwards it to the corresponding unit door machine; after the unit door machine receives the "unlock" command, it notifies the microcontroller to execute the unlock command, and sends the elevator control data stream containing the room number data to the elevator control chip and notifies the indoor intelligent terminal that the elevator needs to be used. After the elevator control module receives the command, the elevator is opened for visitors to use. This solution belongs to intercom elevator calling, which is cumbersome to operate and not convenient enough.

[0072] Preferably, in said S3, when the user does not press the elevator call button and directly performs the unlocking and opening and closing operations, no pre-elevator call registration is performed and the elevator call workflow is not triggered.

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, the elevator call information transmission process of the first embodiment of this solution is as follows:

[0074] The user operates the smart lock terminal to send an elevator call request to the wireless router. The wireless router sends the elevator call request to the cloud server. The cloud server then sends the elevator call request to the elevator controller. The elevator controller then controls the elevator to call the elevator to the user's specified floor. At the same time, the elevator controller sends the elevator status information to the cloud server, which then sends it to the smart lock terminal via the wireless router. The user can then view the current status of the elevator in real time through the display screen of the smart lock terminal.
