Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If user information is recorded offline in traditional smart door locks, then the door lock can be unlocked by local users, but the safety and convenience of management deteriorate because the owner must be present or share passwords manually
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a cloud server as an intermediary between the smart door lock and user information management. The cloud server stores user information centrally and communicates with the door lock, eliminating the need for local offline storage and manual password sharing. This resolves the contradiction by providing both convenience (remote management) and safety (centralized secure storage).
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from local offline information storage to cloud-based online storage, adding a network dimension to the system. This allows user information to be managed remotely through network connectivity, improving both convenience of access and security through centralized control.
2Reliability
If the owner must be present at the site to unlock the smart door lock for other users, then local access is ensured, but the convenience of remote management deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The cloud server acts as a mediator that enables remote users to access the door lock without the owner being physically present. The cloud server receives authentication requests from remote users, verifies credentials, and communicates with the door lock to grant access, thus providing both local access reliability and remote management convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides universal access capability by allowing multiple users (both local and remote) to unlock the door lock through the cloud server. The door lock system becomes multi-functional, supporting both traditional local access and modern remote access through network connectivity.
3Productivity
If user information is stored locally in the smart door lock, then offline access is possible, but the ability to manage and update user authorities remotely deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
User information and authorities are pre-configured and stored in the cloud server before needed. When users need access, the cloud server already has their credentials ready, enabling quick authentication. This preliminary setup allows both fast local access and flexible remote management of user authorities.
Solution Approach 2:
The cloud server mediates between remote management needs and local access requirements. It stores user authorities centrally for easy remote updates while providing quick local verification for offline access, thus maintaining both productivity and adaptability.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a method and system for managing a smart door lock based on platform management and relates to the field of smart door lock management. The method includes: entering user information using a client and binding the user information to a corresponding smart door lock, wherein the user information includes an identity (ID), a password, and a smart door lock card number; uploading an association relationship between the smart door lock and a user authority to a cloud server; storing the association relationship between the smart door lock and the user authority using the cloud server; and sending the association relationship between the smart door lock and the user authority to the smart door lock. The present disclosure improves the safety and convenience of the smart door lock.
