Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of whole-house intelligent management and control, and in particular to a whole-house intelligent management and control system. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, smart home technology has gradually penetrated into our daily lives. Traditional home systems often lack unified management and control, forcing users to operate multiple devices separately. This is not only cumbersome but also difficult to achieve efficient energy utilization and safety protection. Therefore, the market urgently needs a system that can integrate multiple subsystems and realize whole-house intelligent management and control to improve the convenience, safety, and energy efficiency of home life. Although there are some smart home systems on the market, they often have single functions and can only realize intelligent control of some home devices. At the same time, most of these systems lack a unified integration platform, forcing users to install multiple apps or controllers to operate different devices. In addition, these systems also have certain limitations in energy management, safety protection, and other aspects, and cannot meet users' diverse needs for whole-house intelligent management and control. Therefore, a whole-house intelligent management and control system is proposed to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a whole-house intelligent management and control system to at least solve the above problems.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A whole-house intelligent management and control system includes an integrated central control platform, a wireless communication module, a wired communication module, a remote control terminal, a subsystem module and a cloud server. The integrated central control platform establishes a communication connection with the remote control terminal through the wireless communication module, the integrated central control platform establishes a communication connection through the wired communication module subsystem, and the integrated central control platform establishes a communication connection with the cloud server through the wireless communication module.

[0006] Furthermore, the subsystems include an access control system, a security system, an energy management system, a temperature control system, a lighting system, a water system, a post station system, a curtain system and an entertainment system.

[0007] Furthermore, the access control system controls the door lock of the house through facial recognition or password. The access control system is provided with an access threshold. If the number of facial recognition or password verification errors exceeds the access threshold, an access alarm is issued and the access alarm is sent to the integrated central control platform, which is then sent to the remote control terminal and the cloud server respectively through the wireless communication module. The remote control terminal confirms the access alarm upon receiving it. If the remote control terminal does not confirm the access alarm, the timestamp of the access alarm information is stored on the cloud server.

[0008] Furthermore, the security system is used for video surveillance of the house. When the remote control terminal receives the access alarm information, the security system will connect the real-time monitoring video set on the house door lock to the remote control terminal, and store the timestamp video surveillance of the access alarm information in the cloud server.

[0009] Furthermore, the energy management system provides power reserves for the house by integrating photovoltaic power generation, building photovoltaic integration (BIPV) and energy storage technology. The energy management system sets a power reserve threshold and a power gradient. When the house power supply falls below the power reserve threshold, the energy management system executes the set disabling strategy. The disabling strategy is specifically as follows:

[0010] The energy management system assigns weights to the access control system, security system, temperature control system, lighting system, water system, post station system, curtain system and entertainment system by using the weighted average method, and sorts them in ascending order according to the weighted scores of the weight assignments. The energy management system disables the systems in the access control system, security system, temperature control system, lighting system, water system and post station system in turn according to the power gradient matched with the sorting order.

[0011] Furthermore, the temperature control system is used to control the temperature in the house, the lighting system is used to control the lights in the house, the curtain system is used to control the curtains in the house, and the entertainment system is used to control the entertainment equipment in the house. The temperature control system is provided with a high temperature threshold and a low temperature threshold. When the temperature control system detects that the temperature in the house is higher than the set high temperature threshold and the face recognition or password verification is correct, the temperature control system controls the air-conditioning equipment in the house to perform a cooling operation. When the temperature control system detects that the temperature in the house is lower than the set low temperature threshold and the face recognition or password verification is correct, the temperature control system controls the air-conditioning equipment in the house to perform a heating operation.

[0012] When the face recognition or password verification is correct, the lighting system controls the lights in the house to turn on, the curtain system controls the curtains in the house to open, and the entertainment system controls the entertainment equipment in the house to turn on.

[0013] Furthermore, the water use system is used to detect the water supply and sprinkling of the house. The water use system is provided with a water storage threshold and a humidity threshold. When the water volume is lower than the water storage threshold, the water use system sends a water replenishment signal to the water replenishment device for water replenishment. When the humidity sensor of the water use system detects that the humidity outside the house does not reach the humidity threshold, the water use system sends a water sprinkling signal to the water sprinkling device for water sprinkling and moisture replenishment.

[0014] Furthermore, the post station system is used to provide users with outdoor automatic sheds, which are controlled and operated by an integrated central control platform and a remote control terminal.

[0015] Furthermore, the integrated central control platform and remote control terminal have supreme control over the access control system, security system, energy management system, temperature control system, lighting system, water system, post station system, curtain system and entertainment system, and have the right to change the setting limits of the access control system, security system, energy management system, temperature control system, lighting system, water system, post station system, curtain system and entertainment system.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The present invention proposes a whole-house intelligent management and control system to improve the convenience of home life: the present invention realizes the unified management and control of all the equipment in the house by integrating multiple subsystems. Users can easily operate home appliances through a remote control terminal or an integrated central control platform, which greatly improves the convenience of home life.

[0018] Enhanced security protection capabilities: The integration of access control system and security system enables the system to monitor the safety status of the house in real time and issue alarms in time when abnormalities occur, effectively improving the safety of home life.

[0019] Realize intelligent control: The temperature control system, lighting system, curtain system and entertainment system can be intelligently controlled according to the actual needs of the user, such as automatically adjusting the air-conditioning temperature according to the temperature, automatically adjusting the light brightness according to the light, etc., further improving the level of intelligence in home life.

[0020] Easy to remotely manage and maintain: The introduction of cloud servers enables the system to implement functions such as remote data backup and intelligent optimization. Users can check the system's operating status at any time and make necessary adjustments and maintenance, greatly improving the system's reliability and stability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, the following briefly introduces the drawings required for use in the description of the embodiments. Obviously, the drawings described below are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work.

[0022] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a whole-house intelligent management and control system proposed in an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The principles and features of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The enumerated embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0024] Reference Figure 1The present invention provides a whole-house intelligent management and control system, which includes an integrated central control platform, a wireless communication module, a wired communication module, a remote control terminal, a subsystem module and a cloud server. The integrated central control platform establishes a communication connection with the remote control terminal through the wireless communication module, the integrated central control platform establishes a communication connection through the wired communication module subsystem, and the integrated central control platform establishes a communication connection with the cloud server through the wireless communication module.

[0025] The subsystems include access control system, security system, energy management system, temperature control system, lighting system, water system, post station system, curtain system and entertainment system.

[0026] For example, to meet users' diverse needs for whole-home smart control, this system integrates a central control platform, wireless communication modules, wired communication modules, remote control terminals, subsystem modules, and cloud servers to achieve intelligent and automated control of access control, security systems, energy management systems, temperature control systems, lighting systems, water systems, post stations, curtain systems, and entertainment systems. Users can access the system anytime, anywhere through the remote control terminal and the integrated central control platform, enjoying a convenient and comfortable smart home experience.

[0027] The access control system controls the door lock of the house through facial recognition or password. The access control system is provided with an access threshold. If the number of facial recognition or password verification errors exceeds the access threshold, an access alarm is issued and the access alarm is sent to the integrated central control platform, which is then sent to the remote control terminal and the cloud server respectively through the wireless communication module. The remote control terminal confirms the access alarm upon receiving it. If the remote control terminal does not confirm the access alarm, the timestamp of the access alarm information is stored on the cloud server.

[0028] For example, the access control system is a key subsystem responsible for the security of the entrance to the house. The access control system supports two verification methods: face recognition and password input. Users can choose one or both methods for verification according to their preferences and security requirements. When face recognition is successful or the password is entered correctly, the access control system will unlock the door lock and allow the user to enter the house. In order to improve the security of the system, the access control system sets an access threshold, which represents the maximum number of incorrect attempts a user can make to verify. For example, if the access threshold is set to 3 times, then when the user fails facial recognition or enters an incorrect password three times in a row, the access control system will trigger the access alarm mechanism. For the access alarm, when the access control system detects that the number of user verification errors exceeds the access threshold, an access alarm will be issued. When the integrated central control platform receives the access alarm information from the access control system, it sends the alarm information to the remote control terminal and the cloud server through the wireless communication module. In this way, even if the user is not at home, he or she can receive the alarm information in real time through the remote control terminal and take appropriate measures. For the alarm confirmation of the remote control terminal, after receiving the alarm information from the remote control terminal, the user can confirm the operation, indicating that the user has understood the alarm situation and has also taken appropriate security measures. If the user does not confirm the operation, the timestamp of the alarm information will be stored on the cloud server. The cloud server saves the timestamps of all alarm information for subsequent security analysis and event tracing. For example, if the user finds that there is an abnormal situation at home, he or she can judge possible security risks or intrusion behaviors by checking the alarm records on the cloud server.

[0029] The security system is used for video surveillance of houses. When a remote control terminal receives an access alarm message, the security system connects the real-time surveillance video set on the house door lock to the remote control terminal, and stores the timestamp video surveillance of the access alarm message on the cloud server.

[0030] For example, when an outsider tries to enter the house through the door lock, when the remote control terminal receives the access alarm information, the user can view the real-time surveillance video near the door lock of the house through the remote control terminal. In order to preserve evidence and facilitate subsequent analysis, the security system will also automatically store the video surveillance when the access alarm information occurs on the cloud server. The video will be accompanied by timestamp information to ensure that the user can accurately locate any critical moment. For example, suppose the user is on a business trip and suddenly receives an access alarm information from the remote control terminal. By checking the real-time surveillance video, it is found that it was a courier who mistakenly triggered the alarm mechanism of the door lock. The user can then control the voice equipment of the surveillance video through the remote control terminal to communicate with the courier and tell him to put the courier in a safe place at the door. At the same time, since the video surveillance has been stored on the cloud server, the user can also review this video at any time to ensure the security of the solution.

[0031] The energy management system provides power reserves for the house by integrating photovoltaic power generation, building photovoltaic integration (BIPV) and energy storage technology. The energy management system sets a power reserve threshold and a power gradient. When the house power falls below the power reserve threshold, the energy management system executes the set disabling strategy. The disabling strategy is specifically as follows:

[0032] The energy management system assigns weights to the access control system, security system, temperature control system, lighting system, water system, post station system, curtain system and entertainment system by using the weighted average method, and sorts them in ascending order according to the weighted scores of the weight assignments. The energy management system disables the systems in the access control system, security system, temperature control system, lighting system, water system and post station system in turn according to the power gradient matched with the sorting order.

[0033] For example, the energy management system integrates photovoltaic power generation, building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) and energy storage technology to provide power reserves for the house. The photovoltaic power generation system uses solar energy to generate electricity, and BIPV combines photovoltaic modules with building materials, which is both beautiful and practical. Energy storage technology is used to store and release electricity when there is insufficient sunlight or peak power demand. In order to optimize energy use and ensure the normal operation of critical systems, the energy management system sets a power reserve threshold and a power gradient. When the power supply of the house is lower than the set power reserve threshold, the system will trigger a disabling strategy to reduce the power consumption of non-critical systems, thereby extending the operating time of critical systems. In the disabling strategy, the energy management system uses a weighted average method to assign weights to each system. The systems include access control systems, security systems, temperature control systems, lighting systems, water systems, post systems, curtain systems and entertainment systems. The weight assignment reflects the importance of each system to the safety and comfort of the house. The weighted average method assigns weights to each system as follows:

[0034] The weights are determined by the following factors: user demand: the degree of user dependence on these systems and the frequency of use; system cost: the cost of installing and maintaining these systems; system stability: the reliability and failure rate of system operation; security: the impact of the system on home safety.

[0035] Based on the above factors, each system is assigned a weight that sums to 1. Here is an example weight assignment:

[0036]

[0037]

[0038] Calculate the weighted average. Suppose you need to evaluate the performance of these systems in terms of user satisfaction. You can assign a satisfaction score to each system and use the weighted average method to calculate the overall satisfaction. The following is an example scoring and calculation process:

[0039]

[0040]

[0041] The order is the station system, curtain system, water system, lighting system, entertainment system, temperature control system, access control system, and security system. The energy management system matches the power gradient according to the order of the order and carries out the station system, curtain system, water system, lighting system, entertainment system, temperature control system, access control system, and security system in turn.

[0042] As for the order of disabling, users can adjust it according to specific circumstances through the integrated central control platform and remote control terminal.

[0043] The temperature control system is used to control the temperature in the house, the lighting system is used to control the lights in the house, the curtain system is used to control the curtains in the house, and the entertainment system is used to control the entertainment equipment in the house. The temperature control system is provided with a high temperature threshold and a low temperature threshold. When the temperature control system detects that the temperature in the house is higher than the set high temperature threshold and the face recognition or password verification is correct, the temperature control system controls the air conditioning equipment in the house to perform a cooling operation. When the temperature control system detects that the temperature in the house is lower than the set low temperature threshold and the face recognition or password verification is correct, the temperature control system controls the air conditioning equipment in the house to perform a heating operation.

[0044] When the face recognition or password verification is correct, the lighting system controls the lights in the house to turn on, the curtain system controls the curtains in the house to open, and the entertainment system controls the entertainment equipment in the house to turn on.

[0045] Exemplarily, the temperature control system is responsible for monitoring and controlling the temperature in the house to ensure that the user is in a comfortable environment. The system sets high temperature thresholds and low temperature thresholds, which can be set according to the user's preferences. When the temperature control system detects that the temperature in the house exceeds the set high temperature threshold, the temperature control system will perform a cooling operation. Before that, the temperature control system will confirm whether the user enters the house through face recognition or password verification. If the face recognition or password verification is passed, the temperature control system will automatically turn on the air-conditioning equipment in the house and adjust the indoor temperature to an appropriate range. Similarly, when the temperature in the house is lower than the set low temperature threshold, the temperature control system will control the air-conditioning equipment to increase the temperature.

[0046] The lighting system is used to control the lighting equipment in the house and provide convenient lighting control. When the user verifies his identity through facial recognition or password entry, the lighting system will automatically respond and control the lighting equipment in the house to turn on. Different lighting scenes can be set according to the user's preferences, such as reading mode, movie viewing mode, etc.

[0047] The curtain system is responsible for controlling the opening and closing of curtains in the house, providing privacy protection and light adjustment functions. Similarly, after facial recognition or password verification, the curtain system will automatically open the curtains in the house. This can be intelligently adjusted according to time, weather or the needs of the residents, such as automatically opening the curtains in the morning to welcome the sun and automatically closing them at night to protect privacy.

[0048] The entertainment system is used to control entertainment devices in the house, such as TVs, speakers, etc., to provide a rich entertainment experience. After facial recognition or password verification, the entertainment system will respond to the user's instructions and turn on the designated entertainment device.

[0049] The water use system is used to detect the water supply and sprinkling of the house. The water use system is provided with a water storage threshold and a humidity threshold. When the water volume is lower than the water storage threshold, the water use system sends a water replenishment signal to the water replenishment device for water replenishment. When the humidity sensor of the water use system detects that the humidity outside the house does not reach the humidity threshold, the water use system sends a water sprinkling signal to the water sprinkling device for water sprinkling and moisture replenishment.

[0050] Exemplarily, the water use system integrates an intelligent system with water volume monitoring, humidity detection, and automatic water replenishment and watering functions to ensure that the water supply inside the house is sufficient and the humidity outside the house (such as in the garden, lawn, etc.) is maintained at an appropriate level. The water use system sets a water storage threshold, which represents the water level that the water use system considers safe or sufficient. When the water use system detects that the current stored water volume is lower than the water storage threshold, the water use system will send a water replenishment signal to the water replenishment device. The water replenishment device can be a water pump, water tank, or other equipment that can increase the water volume. After receiving the signal, the water replenishment device will start working. Water from a water source (such as tap water, rainwater collection system, etc.) is introduced into the system until the water volume reaches or exceeds the water storage threshold; in addition to water volume monitoring, the water use system is also equipped with a humidity sensor to detect the humidity level outside the house. The water use system sets a humidity threshold. When the humidity sensor detects that the humidity outside the house is lower than the humidity threshold, the water use system will consider the environment to be too dry and measures need to be taken to replenish moisture. At this time, the water use system will automatically send a watering signal to the sprinkler device. The sprinkler device can be a sprinkler, irrigation system, etc. It can spray an appropriate amount of water into the environment outside the house according to the signal to increase the humidity.

[0051] The post station system is used to provide users with outdoor automatic sheds, which are controlled and operated by an integrated central control platform and a remote control terminal.

[0052] For example, the integrated central control platform and remote control terminal can precisely control the various functions of the automatic shed according to preset programs or user instructions. These functions include but are not limited to the opening and closing of the roof, the raising and lowering of sunshades, the start and stop of the ventilation system, etc., to meet the needs of shading, ventilation, lighting, etc. under different weather conditions and user needs.

[0053] For example, if a user encounters a sudden downpour during an outdoor activity, they can quickly close the roof of the automated shed through the integrated central control platform and remote control terminal to prevent getting wet. Alternatively, on a sunny afternoon, the user can open the sunshade through the integrated central control platform and remote control terminal to fill the automated shed with natural light, providing a more comfortable outdoor experience.

[0054] The integrated central control platform and remote control terminal have supreme control over the access control system, security system, energy management system, temperature control system, lighting system, water system, post station system, curtain system and entertainment system, and have the right to change the setting limits of the access control system, security system, energy management system, temperature control system, lighting system, water system, post station system, curtain system and entertainment system.

[0055] For example, the integrated central control platform and remote control terminal have supreme control over the access control system, security system, energy management system, temperature control system, lighting system, water system, post station system, curtain system and entertainment system, as well as the right to change setting limits.

[0056] For example, for access control systems, the integrated central control platform and remote control terminal can monitor and control the access control devices of all houses in real time. Through the integrated central control platform and remote control terminal, users can remotely open or close the access control, and authorize or revoke access rights for specific personnel; for security systems, the integrated central control platform and remote control terminal can view the monitoring screen in real time, receive various alarm information, and perform video playback, adjust camera angles, and other operations through the remote control terminal. At the same time, the alarm thresholds and response strategies of the security system can be set or changed. For energy management systems, the integrated central control platform and remote control terminal can view energy usage and power consumption in real time, and can also modify disabling strategies, etc.

[0057] In the above embodiment, the integrated central control platform: is equipped with a high-performance processor and sufficient storage resources to ensure that the system can run stably. Wireless communication module: uses wireless communication technologies such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to achieve communication with the remote control terminal and the cloud server. Wired communication module: uses wired communication technologies such as Ethernet to establish communication connections with some subsystems that require high stability and bandwidth (such as some cameras in the security system). Remote control terminal: can be a portable device such as a smartphone or tablet computer, and the user can remotely control the system through the APP on it. Subsystem module: including access control system, security system, energy management system, temperature control system, lighting system, water use system, post station system, curtain system and entertainment system, etc. Each system is connected to the integrated central control platform through a specific interface.

[0058] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
