Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of smart home device technology, and more specifically, to a fire monitoring method, apparatus, device, and medium. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous growth of security needs, fire monitoring equipment has been widely used in various scenarios. Existing fire detection technologies mainly rely on smoke sensors or temperature sensors. These sensors require deployment on dedicated equipment and have a single triggering mechanism. For example, an alarm is triggered when the smoke concentration exceeds a smoke threshold, which can easily be falsely triggered by non-fire factors such as cooking fumes or steam. Similarly, an alarm is triggered when the temperature change rate exceeds a temperature change rate threshold, which can be misjudged by ambient temperature fluctuations (such as air conditioning operation or sunlight). These single triggering conditions easily lead to false triggering of non-fire events or missed detection of actual fires.

[0003] Therefore, how to achieve accurate and early fire detection without the need for additional dedicated equipment and while ensuring low power consumption is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a new technical solution for fire monitoring.

[0005] According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a fire detection method is provided, applied to a router device, the method comprising: The router device detects gas change characteristics and wireless channel disturbance characteristics; wherein, the gas change characteristics are used to characterize the degree of change of total volatile organic compounds in the environment, and the wireless channel disturbance characteristics are used to characterize the degree of change of wireless signals caused by environmental thermal airflow disturbances. A comprehensive fire risk score is obtained based on the gas change characteristics and the wireless channel disturbance characteristics. If the comprehensive fire risk score meets the fire triggering conditions, a fire is determined to have occurred and an alarm is triggered.

[0006] Optionally, acquiring the gas change characteristics detected by the router device includes: The total volatile organic compound (TVOC) gas concentration signal in the environment is acquired by the TVOC sensor of the router device. The rate of change, acceleration, and drift of the gas concentration signal relative to a baseline are determined; wherein the baseline is determined based on historical gas concentration signals under fire-free conditions. The gas change characteristics are obtained based on the rate of change, acceleration, and drift of the gas concentration signal.

[0007] Optionally, obtaining the wireless channel disturbance characteristics detected by the router device includes: The wireless signal data output by the Wi-Fi module of the router device is obtained; wherein the wireless signal data includes channel state information and received signal strength indication; Determine the first variance of the channel state information and the second variance of the received signal strength indication; The wireless channel disturbance characteristics are obtained based on the first variance and the second variance.

[0008] Optionally, obtaining a comprehensive fire risk score based on the gas change characteristics and the wireless channel disturbance characteristics includes: Obtain the time correlation coefficient between the gas change characteristics and the wireless channel perturbation characteristics; The comprehensive fire risk score is obtained based on the gas change characteristics, the wireless channel disturbance characteristics, and the time correlation coefficient.

[0009] Optionally, obtaining the comprehensive fire risk score based on the gas change characteristics, the wireless channel disturbance characteristics, and the time correlation coefficient includes: The gas change characteristics, the wireless channel disturbance characteristics, and the time correlation coefficient are weighted and summed according to the first weight corresponding to the gas change characteristics, the second weight corresponding to the wireless channel disturbance characteristics, and the third weight corresponding to the time correlation coefficient to obtain the comprehensive fire risk score.

[0010] Optionally, the method further includes: If the gas change characteristics exceed the gas change characteristic threshold, then the wireless channel disturbance characteristics of the router device are obtained.

[0011] Optionally, the fire triggering condition includes at least one of the following: The overall fire risk score exceeds the fire triggering threshold; Multiple of the aforementioned comprehensive fire risk scores exceeded the fire triggering threshold; The average of multiple comprehensive fire risk scores exceeds the fire triggering threshold.

[0012] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, a fire monitoring device is provided, applied to a router device, the device comprising: The first acquisition module is used to acquire gas change characteristics and wireless channel disturbance characteristics detected by the router device; wherein, the gas change characteristics are used to characterize the degree of change of volatile organic compounds in the environment, and the wireless channel disturbance characteristics are used to characterize the degree of change of wireless signals caused by environmental thermal airflow disturbances. The second acquisition module is used to obtain a comprehensive fire risk score based on the gas change characteristics and the wireless channel disturbance characteristics. The determination module is used to determine that a fire has occurred and to execute an alarm operation when the comprehensive fire risk score meets the fire triggering conditions.

[0013] According to a third aspect of the present disclosure, a router device is provided, comprising: a memory for storing executable computer instructions; and a processor for executing the method described in accordance with the first aspect above, under the control of the executable computer instructions.

[0015] This disclosure provides a fire monitoring method. First, it acquires gas change characteristics and wireless channel disturbance characteristics detected by a router device. Then, it obtains a comprehensive fire risk score based on these characteristics. When the comprehensive fire risk score meets the fire triggering conditions, it determines that a fire has occurred and executes an alarm. This method eliminates the need for dedicated equipment such as smoke or temperature sensors, enabling fire monitoring by reusing existing router hardware, thus reducing equipment deployment costs. Furthermore, by fusing features from both gas change and wireless channel disturbance dimensions, it avoids false triggering or missed alarms caused by a single triggering condition, improving the accuracy of fire identification. In addition, since the alarm is only executed when the comprehensive fire risk score meets the fire triggering conditions, continuous high-power sensor data acquisition and calculation are unnecessary, which helps reduce the router's power consumption.

[0023] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0024] <Method Implementation> This disclosure provides a fire detection method applicable to router devices, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the fire monitoring method of this disclosure embodiment may include the following steps S1100 to S1300: Step S1100: Obtain the gas change characteristics and wireless channel disturbance characteristics detected by the router device.

[0025] Among these, gas change characteristics can be used to characterize the degree of change in total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) in the environment. Gas change characteristics are usually positively correlated with the magnitude of changes in TVOC concentration in the environment; the more significant the change in gas concentration, the higher the gas change characteristic value, and the greater its contribution to determining the occurrence of a fire.

[0026] In one example, the router device is equipped with a total volatile organic compound (TVOC) sensor.

[0027] In this example, the gas change characteristics detected by the router device can be obtained in the following way: acquire the gas concentration signal of total volatile organic compounds in the environment collected by the total volatile organic compound sensor of the router device; determine the rate of change, acceleration, and drift of the gas concentration signal relative to the baseline; and obtain the gas change characteristics based on the rate of change, acceleration, and drift of the gas concentration signal.

[0028] The rate of change of the gas concentration signal G(t) can be the first derivative of the gas concentration signal G(t), dG / dt, which is used to characterize how fast the gas concentration changes with time.

[0029] The acceleration of the gas concentration signal G(t) can be the second derivative d²G / dt² of the gas concentration signal G(t), which is used to characterize the severity of the gas concentration change trend and can effectively identify the characteristics of rapid gas release in the early stage of a fire.

[0030] The baseline is determined based on historical gas concentration signals under fire-free conditions. For example, the baseline G_baseline can be the moving average of the gas concentration signal over a recent period under fire-free conditions.

[0031] Specifically, the gas change characteristic G_fire can be determined using the following formula (1): (1) Where dG / dt is the rate of change of the gas concentration signal G(t), α is the weight corresponding to the rate of change, used to adjust the contribution of the rate of change to the gas change characteristics, d²G / dt² is the acceleration of the gas concentration signal G(t), β is the weight corresponding to the acceleration, used to adjust the contribution of the acceleration to the gas change characteristics, and G(t) G_baseline is the drift of the gas concentration signal G(t) relative to the baseline, and γ is the weight corresponding to the drift, which is used to adjust the contribution of the drift to the gas change characteristics. α, β and γ can be preset according to the scenario and requirements.

[0032] Among them, wireless channel disturbance characteristics can be used to characterize the degree of change in wireless signals caused by environmental thermal airflow disturbances. Wireless channel disturbance characteristics are generally positively correlated with the intensity of environmental thermal airflow disturbances; the more severe the thermal airflow disturbance, the higher the wireless channel disturbance characteristic value, and the greater its contribution to determining the occurrence of a fire.

[0033] In one example, obtaining the gas change characteristics detected by the router device can be achieved as follows: acquiring wireless signal data output by the Wi-Fi module of the router device; wherein, the wireless signal data may include Channel State Information (CSI) and Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI); determining a first variance of the Channel State Information and a second variance of the Received Signal Strength Indication; and obtaining wireless channel disturbance characteristics based on the first and second variances.

[0034] In this example, the Wi-Fi sensing module of the router device can obtain the wireless signal data output by the Wi-Fi module of the router device.

[0035] Specifically, wireless channel perturbation characteristics The following formula (2) can be used to determine it: (2) Wherein, Var(CSI) is the variance of channel state information, used to characterize the degree of disturbance of the multipath propagation path of wireless signal, and its weight is 1 by default. Var(RSSI) is the variance of received signal strength indication, used to characterize the overall fluctuation of signal strength. λ is the weight corresponding to this variance, used to adjust the contribution of the variance of received signal strength indication to the characteristics of wireless channel disturbance.

[0036] It should be noted that during a fire, hot air currents cause changes in the air's refractive index, which in turn disrupts the propagation path of wireless signals. This disruption manifests simultaneously as an increase in the variance of the Channel State Information (CSI) and aggravated fluctuations in the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). By fusing the variances of both, it is possible to capture fine-grained channel multipath variations and verify the disruption at the overall signal strength level, thereby more accurately identifying wireless channel anomalies caused by hot air currents.

[0037] For non-fire-related disturbances such as human movement and the opening and closing of doors and windows, the response modes of CSI and RSSI differ significantly from those in fire scenarios because they do not exhibit the refractive index change characteristics caused by hot airflow. Therefore, the above-mentioned fusion method can effectively distinguish disturbances and reduce false alarm rates.

[0038] Step S1200: Obtain a comprehensive fire risk score based on gas change characteristics and wireless channel disturbance characteristics.

[0039] In this embodiment, after obtaining the gas change characteristics and the wireless channel disturbance characteristics, the two characteristics can be fused to obtain a comprehensive fire risk score.

[0040] In one example, obtaining a comprehensive fire risk score based on gas change characteristics and wireless channel disturbance characteristics may further include the following steps S1221~S1222: Step S1221: Obtain the time correlation coefficient between gas change characteristics and wireless channel disturbance characteristics.

[0041] Among them, the time correlation coefficient is used to quantify the degree of synchronization between gas changes and wireless channel disturbances in the time dimension.

[0042] Specifically, the time correlation coefficient S between the gas change characteristics and the wireless channel disturbance characteristics can be determined according to the following formula (3): (3) Where dG / dt is the rate of change of the gas concentration signal, dW_fire / dt is the rate of change of the wireless channel disturbance characteristics, and corr(·) represents the Pearson correlation coefficient calculated within a preset sliding time window. The value of S is usually in the range of [-1, 1]. A positive value indicates that the two types of characteristics have the same trend, and a negative value indicates that the trends are opposite. The closer the absolute value is to 1, the stronger the synchronicity of the temporal changes of the two. In a fire scenario, volatile organic compounds produced by combustion are released rapidly, and at the same time, the hot airflow causes the wireless channel disturbance to intensify synchronously. The two types of characteristics have highly consistent trends, and the correlation coefficient S is positive and relatively large. In normal non-fire interference scenarios, only a single-dimensional feature anomaly will occur, making it difficult to form synchronous changes. The correlation coefficient S is relatively small or close to zero.

[0043] It should be noted that in the early stages of a fire, the hot airflow simultaneously causes a rapid increase in gas concentration and a continuous increase in wireless channel disturbance. The rates of change of these two factors have a strong temporal correlation, resulting in a significantly higher correlation coefficient. This embodiment uses the rate of change to calculate synchronicity, rather than directly using the original feature values. This effectively avoids noise interference caused by sensor baseline drift and small fluctuations in the steady state of the environment, accurately capturing the core characteristics of the synchronous abrupt changes in these two types of features during the fire triggering phase.

[0044] In other alternative implementations, the original wireless channel perturbation characteristics can also be directly used for synchronization calculation, i.e., satisfying S=corr(dG / dt, W_fire).

[0045] Step S1222: Obtain a comprehensive fire risk score based on gas change characteristics, wireless channel disturbance characteristics, and time correlation coefficient.

[0046] In step S1222, the comprehensive fire risk score is obtained by combining gas change characteristics, wireless channel disturbance characteristics, and time correlation coefficient. Specifically, the comprehensive fire risk score is obtained by weighting and summing the gas change characteristics, wireless channel disturbance characteristics, and time correlation coefficient according to the first weight corresponding to the gas change characteristics, the second weight corresponding to the wireless channel disturbance characteristics, and the third weight corresponding to the time correlation coefficient.

[0047] Specifically, the FireScore, the comprehensive fire risk score, can be determined according to the following formula (4): (4) Where G_fire represents the gas variation characteristics, W_fire represents the wireless channel perturbation characteristics, and S represents the time correlation coefficient. The first weight corresponding to the gas change characteristics, The second weight corresponding to the wireless channel perturbation characteristics. This is the third weight corresponding to the time correlation coefficient, and it usually satisfies... + + =1. The specific values ​​of each weight can be preset according to the actual scenario and needs. For example, in places where volatile organic compounds are easily generated, such as kitchens, the weight w1 can be appropriately increased; in open spaces such as warehouses and corridors, the weight w2 can be appropriately increased; for use scenarios with high security levels and strict suppression of false alarms, the weight w3 can be increased to strengthen the constraint role of timing synchronization in the judgment process.

[0048] This weighted fusion method integrates information from three dimensions: gas change amplitude, wireless disturbance intensity, and temporal synchronization consistency. It improves the accuracy of fire identification by relying on the mutual verification of multi-dimensional features, and adapts to diverse monitoring environments and different levels of security monitoring needs by adaptively adjusting the weights.

[0049] Step S1300: If the comprehensive fire risk score meets the fire triggering conditions, determine that a fire has occurred and execute the alarm operation.

[0050] Among them, the fire triggering condition is used to determine whether a fire has actually occurred. The fire triggering condition can be that the comprehensive fire risk score detected in real time at the current moment exceeds a preset fire judgment threshold, or it can be a comprehensive judgment based on the comprehensive fire risk scores at multiple consecutive times.

[0051] In one example, a fire triggering condition may include at least one of the following: all comprehensive fire risk scores exceed the fire triggering threshold, multiple comprehensive fire risk scores exceed the fire triggering threshold, or the average of multiple comprehensive fire risk scores exceeds the fire triggering threshold.

[0052] Specifically, the fire detection threshold can be preset based on the actual scenario and experience. For example, in places requiring high fire detection sensitivity, such as warehouses and kitchens, the fire detection threshold can be set to a lower value; in residential areas such as bedrooms and studies, the fire detection threshold can be set to a higher value to reduce the probability of false alarms.

[0053] When the comprehensive fire risk score meets the fire triggering conditions, the alarm module of the router device can perform an alarm operation, which may include, but is not limited to, any one or more of the following: Audible alarm: For example, the alarm module can be a buzzer. When the alarm is triggered, the buzzer emits a high-frequency sound to alert personnel on site.

[0054] Light alarm: For example, the alarm module can be an LED indicator. When the alarm is triggered, the LED indicator emits a red flashing light at a specific frequency (such as flashing twice per second).

[0055] Push notification: The alarm module can be a Wi-Fi module. When an alarm is triggered, it sends fire alarm information to the bound mobile device or cloud server via the Wi-Fi module. The fire alarm information may include the alarm time and real-time comprehensive fire risk score.

[0056] Linkage control: The alarm module can be a general purpose input / output interface (GPIO) or a relay module. When the alarm is triggered, the device outputs control level and switch command through the GPIO interface or relay module to link external devices to complete emergency response actions such as power failure protection, activation of simple fire extinguishing devices, and activation of smoke exhaust equipment.

[0057] This disclosure provides a control method that first acquires gas change characteristics and wireless channel disturbance characteristics detected by a router device, and then obtains a comprehensive fire risk score based on these characteristics. This allows for the determination of a fire and the execution of an alarm when the comprehensive fire risk score meets the fire triggering conditions. This method eliminates the need for dedicated equipment such as smoke or temperature sensors, enabling fire monitoring by reusing existing router hardware, thus reducing deployment costs. Furthermore, by fusing features from both gas change and wireless channel disturbance dimensions, it avoids false triggering or missed alarms caused by a single triggering condition, improving the accuracy of fire identification. Additionally, by only executing the alarm when the comprehensive fire risk score meets the fire triggering conditions, it eliminates the need for continuous high-power sensor data acquisition and calculation, thereby reducing router power consumption.

[0058] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the fire monitoring method of this disclosure embodiment may further include the following steps S2100 to S2600: Step S2100: Obtain the gas change characteristics detected by the router device.

[0059] In this embodiment, after the router device is started, the TVOC sensor can continuously collect the gas concentration signal of total volatile organic compounds in the environment. The router device calculates the rate of change, acceleration and drift of the gas concentration signal relative to the baseline based on the collected gas concentration signal, and outputs the gas change characteristics based on the rate of change, acceleration and drift of the gas concentration signal relative to the baseline.

[0060] Step S2200: Determine whether the gas change characteristics exceed the gas change characteristic threshold.

[0061] In this embodiment, the gas change characteristic threshold is used to determine whether the change in total volatile organic compounds in the environment reaches a level that may lead to a fire. The gas change characteristic threshold can be preset based on historical data or experiments. If the gas change characteristic exceeds the gas change characteristic threshold, step S2300 is executed; otherwise, step S2100 is executed, i.e., the gas change characteristic is continuously monitored.

[0062] Step S2300: If the gas change characteristics exceed the gas change characteristic threshold, obtain the wireless channel disturbance characteristics detected by the router device.

[0063] This embodiment employs a graded wake-up low-power operation logic. When the gas change characteristics do not exceed the gas change threshold, it indicates that the total volatile organic compound concentration in the environment is relatively stable, and the probability of a fire hazard is low. At this time, Wi... The Fi sensing module maintains a low-power sleep state, without accessing or resolving Wi-Fi. The wireless signal data output by the Fi module avoids power consumption losses caused by invalid calculations.

[0064] When the gas change characteristics exceed the gas change characteristic threshold, it is determined that there is a suspected fire risk in the environment. At this time, the router device wakes up the Wi-Fi sensing module, which reads the wireless signal data continuously output by the router device's Wi-Fi module during normal communication, and obtains the wireless channel disturbance characteristics based on the wireless signal data.

[0065] This tiered wake-up mechanism can significantly reduce the power consumption of the equipment during no-load monitoring while ensuring the reliability of fire monitoring.

[0066] Step S2400: Based on the gas change characteristics, the wireless channel disturbance characteristics, and the time correlation coefficient between the two, a comprehensive fire risk score is obtained.

[0067] For details on how to implement this step, please refer to step S1200 above, which will not be repeated here.

[0068] Step S2500: Determine whether the comprehensive fire risk score meets the fire triggering conditions.

[0069] The specific details of the fire triggering conditions in this step can be found in the aforementioned step S1300, and will not be repeated here.

[0070] In this embodiment, if the fire triggering conditions are met, the following step S2600 can be executed. If the fire triggering conditions are not met, it is determined that there is no real fire, and the gas change characteristics are monitored, that is, the above step S2100 is executed.

[0071] Step S2600: If the fire triggering conditions are met, a fire is determined to have occurred and an alarm operation is executed, and the process ends.

[0072] For details on how to implement this step, please refer to step S1300 above, which will not be repeated here.

[0073] The fire monitoring method adopted in this embodiment, on the one hand, relies on gas change characteristics, wireless channel disturbance characteristics and time-series synchronization correlation coefficient to make multi-dimensional fusion judgment, which greatly improves the accuracy of fire identification and effectively avoids false alarm problems caused by various daily environmental interferences; on the other hand, it relies on the operation strategy of gas feature pre-screening and wireless sensing module hierarchical wake-up, which greatly reduces the amount of data processing and power consumption when the equipment is idle, which saves hardware computing resources and can also effectively extend the overall stable operation time of the equipment.

[0074] <Device Embodiment> This disclosure also provides a fire monitoring device for use in router devices, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the router device 300 may include a first acquisition module 310, a second acquisition module 320, and a determination module 330.

[0075] The first acquisition module 310 is used to acquire gas change characteristics and wireless channel disturbance characteristics detected by the router device; wherein, the gas change characteristics are used to characterize the degree of change of volatile organic compounds in the environment, and the wireless channel disturbance characteristics are used to characterize the degree of change of wireless signals caused by environmental thermal airflow disturbances. The second acquisition module 320 is used to obtain a comprehensive fire risk score based on the gas change characteristics and the wireless channel disturbance characteristics. The determination module 330 is used to determine that a fire has occurred and to execute an alarm operation when the comprehensive fire risk score meets the fire triggering conditions.

[0076] In one embodiment, the first acquisition module 310 is configured to acquire a gas concentration signal of total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) in the environment collected by the TVOC sensor of the router device; determine the rate of change, acceleration, and drift of the gas concentration signal relative to a baseline; wherein the baseline is determined based on historical gas concentration signals under fire-free conditions; and obtain the gas change characteristics based on the rate of change, acceleration, and drift of the gas concentration signal.

[0078] In one embodiment, the second acquisition module 320 is used to acquire the time correlation coefficient between the gas change characteristics and the wireless channel disturbance characteristics; and to obtain the comprehensive fire risk score based on the gas change characteristics, the wireless channel disturbance characteristics, and the time correlation coefficient.

[0079] In one embodiment, the second acquisition module 320 is used to perform a weighted summation of the gas change characteristics, the wireless channel disturbance characteristics, and the time correlation coefficient according to the first weight corresponding to the gas change characteristics, the second weight corresponding to the wireless channel disturbance characteristics, and the third weight corresponding to the time correlation coefficient, to obtain the comprehensive fire risk score.

[0080] In one embodiment, the first acquisition module 310 is used to acquire the wireless channel disturbance characteristics detected by the router device when the gas change characteristics exceed the gas change characteristic threshold.

[0081] In one embodiment, the fire triggering condition includes at least one of the following: The overall fire risk score exceeds the fire triggering threshold; Multiple of the aforementioned comprehensive fire risk scores exceeded the fire triggering threshold; The average of multiple comprehensive fire risk scores exceeds the fire triggering threshold.

[0082] According to this embodiment, gas change characteristics and wireless channel disturbance characteristics detected by the router device are first acquired, and a comprehensive fire risk score is obtained based on these characteristics. This allows for the determination of a fire and the execution of an alarm when the comprehensive fire risk score meets the fire triggering conditions. Fire monitoring can be achieved by reusing existing router hardware without relying on dedicated equipment such as smoke sensors or temperature sensors, reducing equipment deployment costs. Furthermore, by fusing features from both gas change and wireless channel disturbance dimensions, false triggering or missed alarms caused by a single triggering condition are avoided, improving the accuracy of fire identification. In addition, the alarm operation is only executed when the comprehensive fire risk score meets the fire triggering conditions, eliminating the need for continuous high-power sensor data acquisition and calculation, thus reducing router power consumption.
