FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a doorbell system in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present description.

As shown in fig. 1, a doorbell system 100 may comprise an outdoor assembly 110 and an indoor assembly 130. The outdoor unit 110 may be disposed outdoors for use by visitors. The indoor assembly 130 may be disposed indoors for use by indoor personnel.

Fig. 2 is a schematic plan view of an outdoor component of a doorbell system in accordance with one or more embodiments described herein. Fig. 3 is a side schematic view of an outdoor assembly of a doorbell system according to one or more embodiments described herein.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the outdoor assembly 110 may include a first housing 111, an image capture device 112, an infrared detection device 113, a control device 114, a first communication device 115, a first audio input device 116, a second audio output device 117, a ring trigger device 118, a first plug 119, and a first main board 120.

The first housing 111 may be used to house or support various components of the outdoor assembly 110. The first housing 111 may have a substantially flat outer surface. The first housing 111 includes a first side and a second side opposite to the first side. The first side of the first housing 111 may be a side facing an outdoor environment, and the second side of the first housing 111 may be a side facing an indoor environment.

The image capture device 112 may be secured to the first housing 111 and configured to capture an image of the target environment. The target environment is the environment that the image capture device 112 is facing. Moving or stationary target objects may appear in the target environment. The image capture device 112 may be a camera. The image capture device 112 may be equipped with an infrared fill light.

An infrared detection device 113 may be secured to the first housing 111 and configured to detect infrared radiation in the target environment. The infrared radiation may be generated by a target object in the target environment. The infrared detection means 113 may be passive infrared detection means, also called pir (passive infrared) detectors, which do not emit any energy by themselves but only passively receive and detect infrared radiation from the environment. At room temperature, any article is irradiated. The higher the temperature of the object, the stronger the infrared radiation. Humans are warm blooded animals and infrared radiation is also the most stable. The detection wavelength range of the infrared detection device 113 may be 8 to 14 μm, and the infrared peak wavelength of the human body radiation is about 10 μm, just within the range.

The infrared detection device 113 may include a pyroelectric sensor 121 and a fresnel lens 122.

Pyroelectric sensor 121 may be configured to generate an electrical signal based on the infrared radiation. The pyroelectric sensor 121 is a device capable of detecting heat (i.e., far infrared ray amount) of an object and converting it into an electric signal. Pyroelectric sensor 121 is a temperature sensitive sensor and may comprise a ceramic oxide or piezoelectric crystal element. For example, the two surfaces of the piezoelectric crystal element can be made into electrodes, and when the pyroelectric sensor 121 monitors a change in temperature within a range, the pyroelectric effect generates an electric charge on the two electrodes, i.e., a weak voltage is generated between the two electrodes.

Fresnel lens 122 may be configured to focus the infrared radiation to pyroelectric sensor 121. The fresnel lens 122 may be formed in one piece from a polyolefin plastic. The fresnel lens 122 may include a plurality of small lenses arranged on a curved surface to form a three-dimensional fan-shaped heat-sensitive area, which forms a three-dimensional alert. The fresnel lens 122 may be divided into several rows from top to bottom. Because the infrared radiation of the face, the knee and the arm of a person is strong, the number of lenses arranged at the upper part is large, the infrared radiation of the lower part of the person is weak, and the infrared radiation of small animals on the ground has certain interference, so the number of lenses arranged at the lower part is small. The surface of the fresnel lens 122 can be inscribed with a circle of concentric circles (similar to a sawtooth shape when viewed in cross section) from small to large and from shallow to deep. When the circular lines are many and dense, the induction angle is large and the focal distance is far. When the circular line is deeply recorded, the induction distance is far and the focal distance is close. The more the infrared rays are directed into the concentric ring, the more concentrated and intense the rays. A plurality of concentric rings in the same row form a vertical induction area, and a horizontal induction section is formed between the concentric rings. The more vertical sensing areas, the larger the vertical sensing angle. The longer the lens, the more the horizontal sensing segments, the larger the horizontal sensing angle. The number of the sections is large, the motion amplitude of the sensed human body is small, the number of the sections is small, and the motion amplitude of the sensed human body is large. The outer surface of the first housing 111 has an opening in which the fresnel lens 122 is embedded, and the surface of the fresnel lens 122 facing away from the pyroelectric sensor 121 is substantially flush with the outer surface of the first housing 111 having the opening. The fresnel lens 122 can be flush by adopting a circular arc sheet-shaped design, which not only improves the overall appearance of the doorbell system 100, but also improves the protection of the fresnel lens 121 itself, and reduces the risk of damaging the fresnel lens 121.

The infrared detection device 113 adapts to the environment after being installed for several seconds, when no person or animal enters a detection area, the on-site infrared radiation is stable and unchanged, and once the human body infrared radiation enters, the pyroelectric sensor 121 generates a sudden change electric signal through the focusing of the Fresnel lens 122.

The control device 114 may be fixed to the first housing 111 and electrically connected (e.g., via the first main board 119) to the infrared detection device 113 and the image capture device 112, and the control device 114 may be configured to generate a first control signal based on the electrical signal. For example, if the infrared detection device 113 has recognized that the background temperature is 30 ℃, the temperature rises from 30 ℃ to 35 ℃ when a person with a body temperature of 35 ℃ enters. At this time, the resulting temperature difference of 5 ℃ is captured by the pyroelectric sensor 121 and gives an electric signal, based on which the control device 114 generates a first control signal. The first control signal may be used to control ringing. Control device 114 may include a Central Processing Unit (CPU), Digital Signal Processor (DSP), processing core, single-core processor, multi-core processor, microprocessor, host processor, controller, chip, microchip, circuit, circuitry, logic unit, Integrated Circuit (IC), application specific IC (asic), or any other suitable multi-functional or special purpose processor or controller.

In some embodiments, the control device 114 is further configured to generate a second control signal based on the electrical signal. The second control signal is used to control the image capture device 112 to initiate capture of the target environment image. In some embodiments, the first communication device 115 may be further configured to send the second control signal to the second communication device 132, and the image capture device 112 may be configured to capture an image of the target environment based on the second control signal.

In some embodiments, the control device 114 is further configured to generate a third control signal based on the electrical signal. The third control signal may be used to control the display device 135 to initiate the display of the target environment image. In some embodiments, the first communication device 115 is further configured to transmit the third control signal and the image of the target environment acquired by the image acquisition device 112 to the second communication device 132.

Fig. 9 is a schematic plan view (a cross-sectional top view taken along line AA' in fig. 4) of a door according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, wherein the door body is in a closed position. Fig. 10 is a schematic plan view (a cross-sectional top view taken along line BB' in fig. 8) of a door according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, with the door body in an open position.

As shown in fig. 9 and 10, the third plug 260 may include a connection pin 261. The third socket 250 may include receptacles 251 for receiving the connection pins 261. The connection pin 261 and the insertion hole 251 are both arc-shaped, and the center of the arc is located on the rotation axis of the hinge 221. The insertion hole 251 of the third socket 250 may be located at a side of the door frame 210 facing the door body 220 (when the door body 220 is at the closed position).
