Abstract

A smart door lock system and a method thereof are disclosed. In the system and method, a plurality of access time periods are generated by continuously detecting the door lock and analyzing open time of the door lock, and a prompt message is generated and transmitted to a main client for requesting confirmation when a current access time period does not exist in the access time periods, and the smart door lock further transmits the prompt message to a secondary client for requesting confirmation when the main client does not complete the confirmation within a preset time, and triggers the warning device and links with the police-citizen connection system for alert when the secondary client does not complete the confirmation within the preset time. Therefore, the technical effect of improving the security and the setting convenience of the smart door lock can be achieved.

Claims

1. A smart door lock system, comprising:

a detection module configured to continuously detect a status of a door lock by using a sensor, wherein the status of the door lock comprising an unlocking status and a locking status;

an analysis module configured to analyze a time range of the unlocking status of the door lock, to generate at least one access time period;

a confirmation module configured to generate a prompt message and transmit the prompt message to a main client for requesting confirmation when a current access time period does not exist in the at least one access time period, and further transmit the prompt message to at least one secondary client for requesting the confirmation within a preset time when the main client does no complete the confirmation within the preset time; and

a triggering module configured to trigger a warning device and link with a police-citizen connection system for alert when the main client and the at least one secondary client do not complete the confirmation within the preset time.

2. The smart door lock system according to claim 1, wherein the sensor comprises an infrared sensor, a magnetic sensor or a pressure sensor.

3. The smart door lock system according to claim 1, wherein each of the at least one access time period comprises a start time and an end time, and when the start time of the current access time period is not within a range from the start time and the end time of the at least one access time period, the current access time period is determined to not exist in the at least one access time period.

4. The smart door lock system according to claim 1, wherein the prompt message comprises a confirmation link, and is transmitted to the main client and the at least one secondary client through at least one of network and SMS, for display and enabling the confirmation to be completed by clicking the confirmation link.

5. The smart door lock system according to claim 1, wherein the warning device comprises one of a loudspeaker and a buzzer, to output sound for alert.

6. A smart door lock method, comprising:

continuously detecting a status of a door lock by using a sensor, wherein the status of the door lock comprising an unlocking status and a locking status;

analyzing a time range of the unlocking status of the door lock to generate at least one access time period;

generating a prompt message and transmitting the prompt message to a main client for requesting confirmation when a current access time period does not exist in the at least one access time period, and transmitting the prompt message to at least one secondary client for requesting confirmation within a preset time when the main client does not complete the confirmation within the preset time; and

triggering a warning device and linking with a police-citizen connection system for alert when the main client and the at least one secondary client do not complete the confirmation within the preset time.

7. The smart door lock method according to claim 6, wherein the sensor comprises an infrared sensor, a magnetic sensor or a pressure sensor.

8. The smart door lock method according to claim 6, wherein each of the at least one access time period comprises a start time and an end time, and when the start time of the current access time period is not within a range from a start time and an end time of the at least one access time period, the current access time period is determined to not exist in the at least one access time period.

9. The smart door lock method according to claim 6, wherein the prompt message comprises a confirmation link, and is transmitted to the main client and the secondary client through at least one of network and SMS, for display and enabling the confirmation to be completed by clicking the confirmation link.

10. The smart door lock method according to claim 6, wherein the warning device comprises one of a loudspeaker and a buzzer, to output sound for alert.
