[0056] Several embodiments of this disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. For clarity, many practical details will be set forth in the following description. However, it should be understood that these practical details should not be used to limit the scope of this disclosure. That is, in some embodiments of this disclosure, these practical details are not essential. Furthermore, for the sake of simplicity in the drawings, some conventionally used structures and elements will be shown in a simple schematic manner; and repeated elements may be denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0057] Furthermore, in this document, when a component (or unit or module, etc.) is "connected" to another component, it can mean that the component is directly connected to the other component, or that the component is indirectly connected to the other component, meaning that there is another component between the component and the other component. Only when it is explicitly stated that a component is "directly connected" to another component does it indicate that there is no other component between the component and the other component. The terms "first," "second," and "third" are only used to describe different components and do not limit the components themselves; therefore, "first component" can also be referred to as "second component." Moreover, the combinations of components / units / circuits in this document are not combinations generally known, conventional, or existing in this field. Whether the component / unit / circuit itself is existing cannot be used to determine whether its combination relationship is easily accomplished by different people skilled in the art.

[0058] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, where Figure 1 This is a perspective view of a home security device with a display, illustrating a first embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 2 It shows according to Figure 1 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a home security device with a display according to an embodiment; and Figure 3 This is a block diagram illustrating a home security device with a display according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure. The home security device 100 with a display includes a home security device body 110, a display device 120, a detection device 130, and a controller 140.

[0059] See Figure 2 As shown, the display device 120 is disposed on one side of the home security device body 110, and the detection device 130 is disposed on one side of the display device 120 and located at the top of the home security device body 110. (See reference...) Figure 3 As shown, the controller 140 is signal-connected to the home security device body 110, the display device 120, and the detection device 130. The home security device body 110 is used for a user to store their valuables. The display device 120 is used to display image data. The detection device 130 is used to acquire an image of the user. The controller 140 is used to control the display device 120 to display image data and to identify the image to confirm whether to unlock the home security device body 110. In addition, the home security device 100 with a display may also include a frame 150 disposed around the display device 120.

[0060] In the first embodiment, the home security device body 110 may be a safe; the display device 120 may be a cholesteric liquid crystal display; the detection device 130 may be an infrared palm print detection device; and the controller 140 may be a microprocessor, a central processing unit (CPU), a mobile device processor, a cloud processor, or other electronic computing processor, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. Furthermore, in other possible embodiments, the detection device may be an infrared fingerprint detection device, an infrared face detection device, or a voiceprint detection device.

[0061] The home security device body 110 includes a door panel 111, a housing 112, an electronic lock, and a power source (not shown). One end of the door panel 111 is pivotally connected to the housing 112, and the other end of the door panel 111 is selectively disengaged from or locked to the housing 112 via a latch. The electronic lock is located on the door panel 111 and is used to control the latch. The power source is electrically connected to the electronic lock to provide power to the electronic lock. A display device 120 is connected to the door panel 111 and is linked to the door panel 111. When the electronic lock is unlocked, the door panel 111 of the home security device body 110 can be opened simultaneously when the user pulls the display device 120 outward.

[0062] See Figure 2 and Figure 4A As shown, where Figure 4A This is a schematic diagram illustrating a display device according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure. The display device 120 includes at least one display module 121 and a light-absorbing module 122, the light-absorbing module 122 being disposed on one side of the display module 121. Furthermore, there may be multiple display modules 121, and the display device 120 may further include at least one optical adhesive layer 123 disposed between the display modules 121 for bonding them together.

[0063] The display modules 121 are stacked, and visible light L can pass through the stacked display modules 121 and light absorption modules 122 in sequence to reach the detection device 130.

[0064] exist Figure 4A In the middle, the number of display modules 121 is three, and each of the three display modules 121 contains a pixel matrix layer (such as... Figure 4AThe display module 121 comprises a pixel matrix layer 1211b, 1211g, 1211r that can reflect blue, green, and red light respectively, two transparent conductive layers 1212, and two protective layers 1213. The two transparent conductive layers 1212 of each display module 121 are respectively disposed on two sides of the pixel matrix layers 1211b, 1211g, and 1211r. The two protective layers 1213 of each display module 121 are respectively disposed on the two sides of the two transparent conductive layers 1212 away from the pixel matrix layers 1211b, 1211g, and 1211r. In the second embodiment, the transparent conductive layer 1212 may be made of a transparent conductive material such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium zinc oxide (IZO); the protective layer 1213 may be made of a flexible transparent organic material such as glass or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), but this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0065] See Figure 4B As shown, Figure 4B This is a schematic diagram illustrating a display device according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure. In the third embodiment, there are also multiple display modules 121. The difference between display device 120a and display device 120a in the second embodiment lies in the arrangement and number of display modules 121. Specifically, the display modules 121 of display device 120a in the third embodiment are arranged in parallel, and the display modules 121 have a single-layer horizontal structure. It should be noted that the number of display modules 121 can be adjusted according to requirements, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0066] The light absorption module 122 includes a light absorption layer 1221. The light absorption layer 1221 absorbs visible light L that passes through the display module 121 and provides infrared light transmission. The light absorption layer 1221 can be made of an infrared-permeable material, either dye-based or coated, so that a lens 1321 of the detection device 130 can be directly positioned behind the light absorption module 122 for image acquisition. The infrared-permeable material can be an organic dye such as bromine-substituted dye or nitrososubstituted dye, a black organic dye based on aniline or phenothiazine, or a polymer dye such as polyvinyl chloride dye.

[0067] For further examples, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5A As shown, Figure 5A This is a schematic diagram illustrating a light absorption module according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5AIn the light absorption module 122a, the light absorption layer 1221 is made using a coated infrared-transmitting material. Specifically, the light absorption layer 1221 is formed by depositing a coated infrared-transmitting material onto the side of the protective layer 1213 of the display module 121 away from the transparent conductive layer 1212 using physical vapor deposition (PVD) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD).

[0068] In addition, Figure 5A In this process, the light absorption layer 1221 of the light absorption module 122a can also be formed by using black matrix (BM) photoresist, which is commonly used in color filter (CF) processes. Specifically, the BM photoresist can be mixed with a dye-based infrared-transmitting material and then coated onto the side of the protective layer 1213 of the display module 121 away from the transparent conductive layer 1212 to form the light absorption layer 1221.

[0069] See Figure 5B As shown, Figure 5B This is a schematic diagram illustrating a light absorption module according to a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5B In the light absorption module 122b, a substrate 1222 may be further included. The substrate 1222 is disposed on one side of the light absorption layer 1221 and is attached to a lens 1321 of the detection device 130. The light absorption layer 1221 of the light absorption module 122b is made of a dye-based infrared-transmitting material. The light absorption layer 1221 is formed by first mixing the dye-based infrared-transmitting material with an optical adhesive and then coating it onto the substrate 1222. In the fifth embodiment, the substrate 1222 may be made of PET, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), but this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0070] See Figure 5C As shown, Figure 5C This is a schematic diagram illustrating a light absorption module according to a sixth embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5CIn the display module 121, the light-absorbing module 122b may further include an adhesive layer 1223 disposed on one side of the light-absorbing layer 1221, adhering to the protective layer 1213 of the display module 121. The light-absorbing layer 1221 of the light-absorbing module 122b is also made of a dye-based infrared-transmitting material. The light-absorbing layer 1221 is formed by first mixing the dye-based infrared-transmitting material with a substrate such as plastic or ABS resin. Then, the light-absorbing layer 1221 can be bonded to the display module 121 through the adhesive layer 1223. It should be noted that the light-absorbing layer 1221 can increase the infrared transmission efficiency while maintaining the inherent properties of plastic by adjusting the different material ratios during its processing.

[0071] See Figure 3 As shown, the detection device 130 includes an infrared light source module 131 and a camera module 132. The infrared light source module 131 is used to illuminate the user. The camera module 132 is used to capture an image of the area illuminated by the infrared light source module 131. In the first embodiment, the camera module 132 may be a camera with an infrared band, and the camera module 132 is preferably a 3D Time of Flight (ToF) camera.

[0072] Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the infrared light source module 131 illuminates the user's palm, and the photography module 132 generates an image by photographing the user's palm, but this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0073] To further explain, human veins have light-absorbing properties. Deoxyhemoglobin in heme strongly absorbs infrared light, causing the veins to appear as black shadows, thus forming a vein pattern for the camera module 132 to capture.

[0074] The controller 140 includes a preprocessing unit 141, an identification unit 142, a comparison unit 143, and a security device control unit 144, all connected by signals. The preprocessing unit 141 acquires images from the imaging module 132 and performs preprocessing to remove noise and enhance vein features in the images. The identification unit 142 performs feature analysis on the preprocessed images to generate feature information. The comparison unit 143 compares the feature information with a pre-stored verification feature to generate a comparison score. The security device control unit 144 controls the electronic lock of the home security device body 110 based on the comparison score. Specifically, when the comparison score exceeds a threshold, the security device control unit 144 unlocks the electronic lock of the home security device body 110.

[0075] To further explain, the user can place their palm in front of the detection device 130 so that the device can capture an image, which the controller 140 can then preprocess, analyze, and compare. When the comparison score is greater than a threshold, the user's authentication is successful, and the controller 140 will unlock the home security device 110. The user can then pull open the display device 120 in front of the home security device 110 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 As shown), the door panel 111 of the home security device body 110 is opened simultaneously. This allows for user identification via palm vein recognition using the detection device 130 and controller 140, further enhancing security and anti-counterfeiting capabilities.

[0076] The controller 140 may further include a display control unit 145, which controls the display device 120 to display image data. After the display control unit 145 controls the display device 120 to display image data, the home security device 100 with a display can be used as a digital picture frame or digital photo frame for interior decoration. In addition to hiding the home security device body 110 behind paintings or photographs to improve security and privacy, users can connect to the display control unit 145 via electronic devices such as mobile phones to upload or change the image data to be displayed at any time, thus improving ease of use.

[0077] Furthermore, the display device 120 uses a cholesteric liquid crystal display, which can maintain the display of image data for a long time without consuming power. In addition, it allows infrared light to penetrate, so that the infrared light source module 131 and the camera module 132 behind the display device 120 can respectively illuminate the user and capture the user's image, thereby automatically controlling the unlocking of the home security device body 110.

[0078] See Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, where Figure 6 This is a perspective view of a home security device with a display according to a seventh embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 7 It shows according to Figure 6 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a home security device with a display according to the seventh embodiment; and Figure 8This is a block diagram illustrating a home security device with a display according to a seventh embodiment of the present disclosure. The home security device 200 with a display includes a home security device body 210, a display device 220, a detection device 230, and a controller 240. The display device 220 is disposed on the top of the home security device body 210, and the detection device 230 is disposed on one side of the display device 220. The display device 220 and the detection device 230 can be integrally integrated with the home security device body 210. The controller 240 is signal-connected to the home security device body 210, the display device 220, and the detection device 230.

[0079] In the seventh embodiment, the display device 220, the detection device 230, and the controller 240 are the same as the display device 120, the detection device 130, and the controller 140 in the first embodiment, respectively, and will not be described again here.

[0080] The difference between the seventh embodiment and the third embodiment is that the home security device body 210 is a smart lock. Specifically, the controller 240 unlocks the home security device body 210 based on the image from the detection device 230. After the display device 220 displays the image data, it can hide the detection device 230 behind it so that its location cannot be confirmed by outsiders. Compared with existing smart locks, it is more difficult to crack and has greater privacy and security. Furthermore, in other possible embodiments, the display device can also completely cover the home security device body, achieving the effect of hiding the smart lock, which is more suitable for users who value high privacy.

[0081] See Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, where Figure 9 This is a perspective view of a home security device with a display according to the eighth embodiment of the present disclosure. The difference between the home security device 200a with a display and the home security device 200 with a display according to the seventh embodiment lies in the arrangement of the display device 220 and the detection device 230.

[0082] In detail, the display device 220 of the eighth embodiment can be installed at the door as a smart address card, displaying the user's address as an image. A detection device 230 is located behind the display device 220, and the controller 240 controls the home security device 210 to unlock based on the image detected by the detection device 230. Furthermore, after the home security device 210 is unlocked, the controller 240 can control the display device 220 to switch the image data from the address to display words such as "Welcome" or "Welcome Home".

[0083] By concealing the detection device 230 in the smart doorplate, visitors who are not homeowners cannot confirm from the appearance of the smart doorplate that it has the function of unlocking the door, thus further achieving the purpose of home protection.

[0084] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the home security device with a display disclosed herein has the following advantages: First, after the display device displays image data through the display control unit, the main body of the home security device can be hidden behind paintings, photos, or doorplates, and the image data to be displayed can be uploaded or changed at any time, thereby improving the convenience of use; Second, because the display device uses a cholesteric liquid crystal display that allows infrared light to penetrate, the infrared light source module and the camera module behind it can respectively illuminate the user and capture the user's image, thereby automatically controlling the unlocking of the main body of the home security device; Third, by using a detection device and controller to identify the user's identity through vein recognition, the security and anti-counterfeiting capabilities can be further improved.

[0085] Although the present disclosure has been described above with reference to embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any person skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications without departing from the concept and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the scope of protection of the disclosure shall be determined by the claims.
