Description

Event control method and event control device

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a management and control method and a management and control system, and more particularly, to an event management and control method and an event management and control apparatus.

Background

Various electric appliances are filled in living spaces of people, for example, in offices, computers, electric fans, air conditioning equipment, electric lamps and other electric appliances are available; or at home, there are televisions, computers, electric fans, air conditioners, electric lamps, water heaters, refrigerators, and the like.

When the user is using the electrical appliances, the electrical appliances are normally started to consume power. When the user leaves without using the electric appliance, the user must turn off the electric appliances or control the electric appliances to enter a standby state, so as to reduce power consumption and avoid power waste. However, if the user leaves the electric appliances suddenly and forgets to turn off the electric appliances, the electric appliances will continue to operate, resulting in unnecessary power waste.

However, people may leave and forget to turn off the electric appliances, which not only causes waste of power, but also may cause disasters such as fire caused by continuous on of the electric heater because no people are nearby to eliminate accidents.

Further, in a security surveillance system at home or in an office, since a user desires to protect personal privacy, the user generally desires to turn off the monitoring recording of the security surveillance system at the time of the user's home or office. However, if the resident forgets to reset the alarm and leaves directly after turning off the security monitoring system, the security monitoring system will be assumed to be the same as the dummy.

Further, current surveillance systems use loop recording for cost reasons, but use smaller storage space for cost savings, and may therefore cover longer but important images. If an important event occurs, the user cannot find the relevant record when he wants to find the longer record, so the conventional method for managing and controlling the electrical appliance needs to be further improved.

Disclosure of Invention

In view of the current way that users self-manage the on-off of electrical appliance units or systems to reduce power consumption, when users leave and forget to turn off or start the electrical appliances, unnecessary power is wasted, or a security system forgets to be started to cause safety concerns, the invention provides an event management and control method and an event management and control device, which can automatically execute corresponding functions according to the presence of the users to save power and ensure the safety of the users.

The event control method is executed by a main control unit of an event control device, the event control device further comprises at least one sensing unit and at least one event execution unit, and the event control method comprises the following steps:

executing an unmanned mode and judging whether the sensing unit generates a trigger event signal or not; wherein when the unattended mode is executed, an unattended event signal is generated and transmitted to the event execution unit;

when the sensing unit generates the trigger event signal, executing an alarm mode and judging whether a home-returning mode setting signal is received or not; wherein when the alarm mode is executed, an alarm event signal is generated and transmitted to the event execution unit;

when receiving the home mode setting signal, executing a home mode and judging whether the mobile device passes the authentication program; wherein when executing the home mode, generating and transmitting a home event signal to the event execution unit;

when the mobile device does not pass the authentication program, executing the unmanned mode;

when the home mode setting signal is not received, further judging whether an unmanned mode setting signal is received or not;

executing the unmanned mode when receiving the unmanned mode setting signal;

and when the unmanned mode setting signal is not received, whether the home mode setting signal is received or not is judged again.

The event management and control device includes:

at least one sensing unit;

at least one event execution unit;

the main control unit is connected with the sensing unit and the event execution unit, executes an unmanned mode and judges whether the sensing unit generates a trigger event signal or not; when the main control unit executes the unmanned mode, the main control unit generates and transmits an unmanned event signal to the event execution unit;

when the sensing unit generates the trigger event signal, the main control unit executes an alarm mode and judges whether a home-returning mode setting signal is received or not; when the main control unit executes the alarm mode, the main control unit generates and transmits an alarm event signal to the event execution unit;

when the main control unit receives the home returning mode setting signal, the main control unit executes a home returning mode and further judges whether the mobile device passes the authentication program; when the main control unit executes the home returning mode, the main control unit generates and transmits a home returning event signal to the event execution unit;

when the mobile device passes through the authentication program, the main control unit judges whether the mobile device passes through the authentication program again in the home mode;

wherein the main control unit executes the unattended mode when none of the mobile devices passes the authentication procedure;

The control method of the present invention is executed by a main control unit of the event control device, and the main control unit determines whether the mobile device passes the authentication procedure to determine whether the mobile device is currently near the event control device in a short distance, thereby determining whether the user is at home, and determines whether the user is at home when the mobile device passes the authentication procedure, and then determines whether the mobile device passes the authentication procedure. When the main control unit executes the home returning mode and generates the home returning event signal, the main control unit controls the event execution unit to execute a home returning state, such as automatically turning on a headlight and a cooler/warmer and turning off a camera of a monitoring system. And when the mobile device does not pass the authentication program, the main control unit executes the unmanned mode and generates the unmanned event signal to control the event execution unit to execute an unmanned state, such as automatically turning off the headlights and the cooler/warmer. In addition, when the unmanned mode is executed, the main control unit further judges whether the sensing unit generates the trigger event signal, thereby judging whether a foreign person invades. When the sensing unit generates the triggering event signal, it represents that there is an intrusion of a foreign person and no person is at home, so the main control unit executes the alarm mode to generate the alarm event signal to control the event execution unit to execute an alarm state, such as turning on a camera of a monitoring system.

Therefore, the event control device can automatically switch the modes and automatically control the event execution unit to execute the corresponding state, thereby avoiding unnecessary power waste, ensuring the individual privacy of users, and enabling the monitoring system to be started at important moments to record important images to avoid covering the important images by circular recording.

executing the home mode when the mobile device passes the authentication procedure (S106);

when the mobile device does not pass the authentication procedure, whether the sensing unit generates a trigger event signal is determined again (S102).

Referring to fig. 2, the event management and control apparatus 20 includes at least one sensing unit 21, at least one event execution unit 22, and a main control unit 23.

The main control unit 23 is connected to the sensing unit 21 and the event execution unit 22.

The main control unit 23 executes an unattended mode and determines whether the sensing unit 21 generates a trigger event signal. When the master control unit 23 executes the unattended mode, the master control unit 23 generates and transmits an unattended event signal to the event execution unit 22.

When the sensing unit 21 generates the trigger event signal, the main control unit 23 executes an alarm mode and determines whether a home mode setting signal is received. When the master control unit 23 executes the alarm mode, the master control unit 23 generates and transmits an alarm event signal to the event execution unit 22.

When the main control unit 23 receives the home mode setting signal, the main control unit 23 executes a home mode, and the main control unit 23 further determines whether the mobile device 10 passes the authentication procedure. When the main control unit 23 executes the home mode, the main control unit 23 generates and transmits a home event signal to the event execution unit.

When the mobile device 10 passes the authentication procedure, the main control unit 23 re-determines whether the mobile device 10 passes the authentication procedure in the home mode.

When the mobile device 10 does not pass the authentication procedure, the main control unit 23 executes the unattended mode.

When the main control unit 23 does not receive the home mode setting signal, the main control unit 23 further determines whether an unmanned mode setting signal is received.

When the main control unit 23 does not receive the unattended mode setting signal, the main control unit 23 re-determines whether the home mode setting signal is received.

In addition, the event management device 20 further includes at least one authentication unit 24. The authentication unit 24 is connected to the main control unit 23 in a wired or wireless manner, and is connected to the mobile device 10 in a wireless manner. The main function of the authentication unit 24 is to perform the authentication procedure to determine whether the mobile device 10 passes the authentication procedure, and thereby determine whether a user is present. When the mobile device 10 passes the authentication procedure, the authentication unit 24 generates an authentication completion signal and transmits the authentication completion signal to the main control unit 23. When the main control unit 23 receives the authentication completion signal, the main control unit 23 determines that the mobile device 10 passes the authentication procedure.

When the main control unit 23 executes the unattended mode and the sensing unit 21 does not generate the trigger event signal, the main control unit 23 further determines whether the mobile device 10 passes the authentication procedure. When the mobile device 10 passes the authentication procedure, the main control unit 23 executes the home mode. However, when the mobile device 10 does not pass the authentication procedure, the main control unit 23 determines whether the sensing unit 21 generates the trigger event signal again.

The present invention has three objectives: firstly, the operation of a user is reduced as much as possible, and the automation degree is improved; secondly, a unified interface is provided, and all elements in the management and control system act cooperatively, so that the diversity of the elements is increased, the design complexity is reduced, and the reusability is improved; third, a system capable of flexibly increasing and decreasing is provided to meet the requirements of various users.

For example, referring to fig. 3, the sensing unit 21 is used to detect whether an area is invaded, and its main function is to detect activities within the range. The sensing unit 21 includes at least one sensor, such as an infrared ray cut-off sensor, a magnetic force sensor, a movement sensor, a weight sensor, etc., or a smart camera, which can detect and determine whether a person is present in the area. In a preferred embodiment, a main doorway, such as a gate, may be provided with a magnetic switch to determine whether the gate is open to determine that a person is entering or exiting the doorway.

When someone intrudes the monitored area, the sensing unit 21 sends a trigger event signal to the main control unit 23 in a wired or wireless manner.

The mobile device 10 is carried by the user and its main function is for the authentication unit 24 to perform the authentication procedure, thereby allowing the authentication unit 24 to determine whether the user is present. The mobile device 10 is a wireless device, which can be connected to the main control unit 23 and carried by a user. Further, the mobile device 10 can be a wearable device, such as a smart watch, a smart ring, an earring, a necklace, a key ring, or a portable electronic device, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, or the like, which is carried by a user.

In the preferred embodiment, the authentication unit 24 of the event management device 20 and the mobile device 10 perform authentication in a wireless manner, such as Bluetooth (Bluetooth) wireless communication, Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth Low Energy) wireless communication, Zigbee wireless communication, WiFi wireless communication, or other wireless protocols.

The authentication unit 24 is connected to the main control unit 23 in a wired or wireless manner, and has at least one wireless module, and the wireless module is used for scanning the mobile device 10 or connecting with the mobile device 10.

In addition, before the main control unit 23 executes the management and control method, the mobile device 10 must first register with the authentication unit 24, so that the authentication unit 24 records the registration information of the mobile device 10. After the authentication unit 24 completes the registration with the mobile device, the mobile device 10 registered with the authentication unit 24 can pass the authentication procedure of the authentication unit 24, and also represent that the user carrying the mobile device 10 is in the vicinity of the event management device 20.

The main control unit 23 directs the authentication unit 24 to execute the authentication procedure or close the authentication procedure, and the authentication unit 24 transmits the authentication result to the main control unit 23. For example, when the authentication unit 24 determines that the mobile device 10 passes the authentication procedure, the authentication unit 24 generates and sends an authentication completion signal to the main control unit 23. When the authentication unit 24 cannot detect the wireless signal of the mobile device 10, an authentication failure signal is generated and sent to the main control unit 23. Since the authentication completion signal and the authentication failure signal both include the information of the mobile device 10, the master control unit can know the number and information of the mobile devices 10 passing the authentication procedure by the authentication completion signal or the authentication failure signal.

The host unit 23 has an authenticated mobile device table for recording information of the mobile device 10 that has been authenticated, i.e., passed the authentication procedure. When the main control unit 23 receives the authentication completion signal, the main control unit 23 adds the information of the mobile device 10 corresponding to the authentication completion signal to the authenticated mobile device table. When receiving the authentication invalidation signal, the main control unit 23 removes the data of the mobile device 10 corresponding to the authentication invalidation signal from the authenticated mobile device table. In this way, the main control unit 23 can know the information and the number of the mobile devices 10 that have completed the authentication procedure by checking the data in the authenticated mobile device table, and determine whether to execute the next state.

The event execution unit 22 is connected to the main control unit 23 in a wired or wireless manner to receive the home-returning event signal, the unattended event signal or the alarm event signal from the main control unit 23, and perform corresponding actions according to the event signals.

As shown in fig. 1A and 1B, the master control unit 23 records the current behavior pattern and sends related event signals according to the behavior pattern. The main control unit 23 executes three different modes, i.e., an unattended mode, an alert mode and a home-returning mode, which respectively represent that no user is near the main control unit, an intrusion is detected, and the user has already returned home. After the master unit 23 updates to the next mode, it sends a corresponding event signal to the event execution unit 22, so that the event execution unit 22 executes a corresponding action according to the mode.

In addition, when the main control unit 23 starts to be activated, the main control unit 23 can start to execute from the unattended mode or the home returning mode, and activate the authentication unit 24 to execute the authentication procedure, so as to determine whether the mobile device 10 passes the authentication procedure. In the preferred embodiment, it is appropriate to start execution from the home mode.

Before the authentication unit 24 is activated, the mobile device 10 needs to register with the authentication unit 24, so that the authentication unit 24 records the registration information of the mobile device 10 as information for determining whether the mobile device 10 can pass the authentication procedure later.

The simplest authentication procedure is that the wireless module of the authentication unit 24 scans the wireless signal sent by the mobile device 10, because the mobile device 10 is already registered in the authentication unit 24, and the authentication unit 24 compares whether the device data in the wireless signal sent by the mobile device 10 matches the registered data recorded at the time of registration, and uses this as authentication.

The authentication unit 24 has a record table for recording data of the mobile device 10 that has completed the authentication procedure and the time of last receiving the signal from the mobile device 10. When receiving the signal sent by the registered mobile device 10, but the received signal is not recorded in the record table, the authentication unit 24 adds the information of the mobile device 10 corresponding to the received signal and the current time to the record table, and sends an authentication completion signal containing the information of the mobile device 10; when a signal sent by the mobile device 10 is received and is already recorded in the log table, the authentication unit 24 updates the time corresponding to the received signal in the log table to the current time; when the current time and the time recorded in the log are found to exceed a predetermined value, indicating that the mobile device 10 is not in the vicinity of the authentication unit 24, the information of the mobile device 10 is removed from the log, and an authentication failure signal containing the information of the mobile device 10 is issued.

For example, referring to fig. 4, in the preferred embodiment, the authentication procedure is a scanning authentication procedure, and includes the following steps:

judging whether a wireless signal sent by a mobile device is scanned (S401);

when a wireless signal sent by a mobile device is scanned, judging whether device data in the wireless signal is consistent with registration data recorded during registration (S402);

when the device data in the wireless signal matches the registration data recorded at the time of registration, judging whether the device data in the wireless signal has been recorded in the recording table (S403);

when the device data in the wireless signal is recorded in the record table, updating a record time corresponding to the device data in the wireless signal in the record table to a current time (S404), and judging whether the wireless signal sent by the mobile device is scanned again (S401);

when the device data in the wireless signal is not recorded in the record table, recording the device data in the wireless signal and the current time in the record table (S405), and after generating and sending the authentication completion signal (S406), judging whether the wireless signal sent by the mobile device is scanned again (S401);

when the device data in the wireless signal does not accord with the registered data recorded during registration, whether the wireless signal sent by the mobile device is scanned or not is judged again (S401);

when the wireless signal sent by the mobile device is not scanned, checking whether the time difference between the recording time corresponding to each device data recorded in the recording list and the current time exceeds a preset value (S407);

when the time difference between the recording time corresponding to any device data recorded in the recording list and the current time exceeds the preset value, removing the device data corresponding to the recording time of which the time difference exceeds the preset value from the recording list, generating and sending the authentication failure signal (S408), and judging whether a wireless signal sent by the mobile device is scanned again (S401);

when the time difference between the recording time corresponding to each device data recorded in the recording table and the current time does not exceed the preset value, whether a wireless signal sent by the mobile device is scanned is determined again (S401).

However, the wireless signal transmitted by the mobile device 10 may be recorded by a malicious person, and a further authentication procedure is a connection authentication procedure. Since the mobile device 10 has already been registered with the authentication unit 24 and only the registered mobile device can be connected, the authentication unit 24 can be regarded as passing the authentication procedure when the connection with the mobile device 10 is successful.

In another embodiment, the mobile device 10 may store a password, and the mobile device 10 may establish the connection directly through the stored password. Thus, the mobile device 10 may establish a connection without registration. For example, the authentication unit 24 is a Wifi access point (access point), and the mobile device 10 is a smart phone of the user, and the smart phone holds a password that can log in to the Wifi access point. Therefore, when the smart phone logs in the Wifi access point, the smart phone can directly establish connection with the Wifi access point, so that the smart phone is considered to pass the authentication program.

Like the scan authentication procedure, the connection authentication procedure includes a log recording the currently authenticated mobile device 10. After completing the connection, adding the mobile device 10 which completes the connection into the record table, and sending an authentication completion signal containing the information of the mobile device; when the mobile device 10 that has completed the connection loses the connection, the mobile device 10 that has lost the connection is moved out of the log table, and an authentication failure signal containing information about the mobile device that has lost the connection is issued.

For example, referring to FIG. 5A, in the preferred embodiment, the authentication procedure includes the following steps:

judging whether the connection with the registered mobile device is successful (S501);

when the connection with the registered mobile device is successful, recording the device data of the mobile device which is successfully connected in a record table (S502), and generating and sending an authentication completion signal (S503), and then judging whether the connection with the registered mobile device is successful again (S501);

when the connection with the registered mobile device is not successful, judging whether the mobile device which is successfully connected loses the connection (S504);

when losing connection with the mobile device which has successfully connected, removing the device data of the mobile device which has lost connection from the record table (S505), and generating and sending an authentication failure signal (S506), and then judging whether the connection with the registered mobile device is successful again (S501);

when the connection with the mobile device which has been successfully connected is not lost, whether the connection with the registered mobile device is successfully connected is determined again (S501).

In addition, it is also possible that a malicious person could steal the mobile device 10 from the user's hand in order to intrude into the user's residence, and to avoid this, authentication of the user by the mobile device 10 may be further added. In one embodiment, the main control unit 23 or the event execution unit 22 has a module with numeric keys to allow a user to input a password and to input the password during registration, when the authentication unit 24 performs the authentication procedure, the authentication unit 24 will return information of which mobile device 10 currently performs the authentication procedure to the main control unit 23, the main control unit 23 will send a prompt tone to request the user to input the password, and when the user inputs a correct password, the authentication procedure will be completed.

However, when the connection method is used in the authentication procedure, the connection between the mobile device 10 and the authentication unit 24 may be disconnected due to wireless signal interference. When the user is at home, but the main control unit 23 jumps back to the unattended mode because the authentication unit 24 is disconnected from the mobile device 10, the event execution unit 22 executes the unattended event to turn off the appliance, which causes trouble to the user. To avoid the above problem, a retry connection authentication procedure should be added when performing the authentication procedure of the connection scheme.

The purpose of the retry connection authentication procedure is to automatically retry the connection for a period of time, and to signal an authentication failure when there is no way to retry the connection for a predetermined period of time. The retry connection authentication procedure includes two tables, one is a connected authentication table and the other is a retry connection table. The connected authentication table records the mobile device 10 that has completed the connection. And the retry connection table records the time of the lost connection and the device information of the mobile device 10. When the connection is completed, the authentication unit 24 adds the device information of the mobile device 10 to the connected authentication table and sends the authentication completion signal.

When the mobile device 10 is disconnected from the authentication unit 24, the authentication unit 24 removes the device information of the mobile device 10 from the connected authentication table, adds the device information to the retry connection table, and records the disconnection time. When the time difference between the current time and the time in the retry connection table exceeds a predetermined value, the authentication failure signal is issued and the field is removed from the retry connection table.

When the mobile device 10 is in the retry connection table when the connection is completed, the fields in the retry connection table are removed and this information is added back to the connected authentication table. Thus, the authentication unit 24 automatically retries connection without causing user trouble due to unexpected disconnection.

For example, referring to fig. 5B, in the preferred embodiment, when the main control unit 23 executes the go-home mode, the authentication unit 24 executes the retry connection authentication procedure, and the retry connection authentication procedure includes the following steps:

stopping and resetting a timing unit, and starting the timing unit to start timing (S5001);

determining whether the connection with the registered mobile device is successful (S5002);

when the connection with the registered mobile device is successful, determining whether device data of the mobile device that has been successfully connected is recorded in a retry connection record table (S5003);

when the device data of the mobile device that has successfully connected is recorded in the retry connection log table, removing the device data of the mobile device that has successfully connected from the retry connection log table (S5004), recording the device data of the mobile device that has successfully connected in a connected authentication table (S5005), and re-determining whether the connection with the registered mobile device is successful (S5002);

when the device data of the mobile device that has successfully connected is not recorded in the retry connection log table, recording the device data of the mobile device that has successfully connected in the connected authentication table (S5006), generating and transmitting the authentication completion signal including the device data of the mobile device that has successfully connected (S5007), and re-determining whether the connection with the registered mobile device is successful (S5002);

when the connection with the registered mobile device is not successful, determining whether the mobile device which has successfully connected loses connection (S5008);

when the mobile device that has successfully connected loses connection, removing the device data of the mobile device that has lost connection from the connected authentication table (S5009), recording the device data of the mobile device that has lost connection and the current time in the retry connection log table (S5010), and re-determining whether the connection with the registered mobile device has succeeded (S5002);

when the mobile device that has successfully connected has not lost the connection, determining whether a time difference between a time corresponding to the device data of the mobile device that has lost the connection in the retry connection log table and a current time exceeds a preset value (S5011);

when the time difference between the time corresponding to any one of the mobile device 'S device data lost connection in the retry connection log table and the current time exceeds the preset value, removing the mobile device' S device data lost connection from the retry connection log table (S5012), generating and transmitting an authentication failure signal (S5013), and re-determining whether the connection with the registered mobile device is successful (S5002);

when the time difference between the time corresponding to the device data of the mobile device without connection loss in the retry connection log table and the current time exceeds the preset value, whether the connection with the registered mobile device is successful is determined again (S5002).

In another embodiment, when the authentication procedure is executed, the main control unit 23 is connected to a server, the server sends a message to the mobile device 10 of the user, and the mobile device 10 starts the corresponding application program to request the user to input the password within a predetermined time, and when the user inputs the correct password, the password is transmitted to the server for verification. When the server verifies that the password is correct, the server returns the authentication completion signal to finish the authentication procedure.

When the main control unit 23 enters the unattended mode, the main control unit 23 sends the unattended event signal to the event execution unit 22. In the unattended mode, the master control unit 23 listens for the trigger event signal sent from the sensing unit 21. When the master control unit 23 receives a trigger event signal when in the unattended mode, indicating that something has intruded into the monitored area, the master control unit 23 proceeds to execute the alarm mode.

When the authentication unit 24 is in the unattended mode, the authentication procedure is executed on any one of the mobile devices 10 and it is determined that at least one of the mobile devices 10 passes the authentication procedure, representing that a user returns to the monitoring area, thereby generating the authentication completion signal to enable the main control unit 10 to execute the return-to-home mode.

When the main control unit 23 enters the alarm mode, it will send the alarm event signal to the event execution unit 22, wait for user intervention, and determine whether a nobody mode setting signal or a homecoming mode setting signal is received after user intervention. After the user intervenes, the user can set the main control unit 23 to return to the unattended mode or the home mode according to the requirement. For example, the user may be set to automatically return to the unattended mode thirty minutes after entering the alert mode; or enter the home mode after the authentication unit 24 is connected to the mobile device 10 and passes the authentication procedure; after the user confirms the safety, the main control unit 23 receives a setting signal sent from the remote end through the mobile device 10 or the network by the user, and then executes the unmanned mode or the home returning mode. This part can be set by the user.

When the main control unit 23 enters the home mode, it will send the home event signal to the event execution unit 22. When the main control unit 23 receives the authentication failure signal transmitted from the authentication unit 24 and determines that none of the mobile devices 10 is in an authentication complete state, which indicates that no person exists in the house, the main control unit 23 turns to execute the unmanned mode.

The event execution unit 22 executes corresponding actions according to the event signal sent by the main control unit 23.

As shown in fig. 3, according to an embodiment, a smart phone has a software installed as the event management and control device 20, which includes the main control unit 23, the authentication unit 24 and the event execution unit 22. The user carries a smart key fob as the mobile device 10 and the smart key fob is authenticated by the authentication unit 24. The main control unit 23 controls a room having two accessible places, one is a gate 31 and the other is a window 32, and a magnetic sensor is installed as the sensing unit 21 at each of the two entrances to sense whether the entrance is opened. In addition, a camera and an alarm horn and an electric lamp may be additionally installed in the room as other event execution units 22.

Wherein the magnetic sensors on the door and window are the sensing unit 21, and the camera, the alarm speaker and the light switch are the event execution unit 22. The user desires the lamp to automatically turn off when away from home to conserve power, and the lamp is designed to process the unattended signal and turn off the outlet upon receipt of the unattended signal to conserve power.

The user hopes that the camera and the alarm horn can start recording when something intrudes into the monitoring area, and sends out alarm sound to scare away the intruder. Therefore, the camera and the alarm speaker are designed to process the alarm event signal, and when receiving the alarm event signal, the camera is started, the alarm speaker is started, and the alarm event signal is transmitted to the event execution unit 22 in the smart phone, so as to send information to inform the user through the network, and upload images to a server, so that the user can confirm the current situation. In addition, the camera module of the smart phone can also be used as the event execution unit 22, and the function thereof is the same as that of the camera.

The event execution unit 22 can also process various events, such as the lamp switch being turned on or off continuously after receiving the alarm event signal to scare intruders, or automatically turning on the lamp after receiving the home event signal. These can be freely set by the user to meet the needs of the user.

Thus, the present invention is an automated system that turns off the associated appliance when the user leaves and automatically turns on the associated appliance when the user returns. When the user is not yet intruded by an unknown object, the related equipment can be opened and the user is informed.

The main control unit 23, the sensing unit 21 and the event execution unit 22 can be a piece of hardware or a piece of software. In one embodiment, the main control unit 23, the event execution unit 22 and the sensing unit 21 are different applications of a smart phone, and the smart phone can be installed on a door, when a person opens the door, the sensing unit application detects the movement of the smart phone, and thus sends the trigger event signal to the main control unit application, so that the main control unit application sends the alarm event signal to the event execution unit application to open the camera lens on the smart phone to start shooting, or sends a brief message to the user.

In addition, the sensing unit 21 and the event executing unit 22 may also be integrated in the same hardware, such as a smart camera, which can detect whether a person intrudes into the monitoring area, and when the person intrudes into the monitoring area, send the triggering event signal to the main control unit 23, and when the main control unit 23 determines that the user is not present, send the alarm event signal to the smart camera, and the smart camera starts recording.

The sensing unit 21 also receives the event signal sent by the main control unit 23, for example, the sensing unit 21 is an infrared blocking sensor, and when the user returns home, the infrared blocking sensor receives the home return event signal, and the infrared emitter can be turned off to reduce power consumption and prolong the product life.

Further, since the user carries the mobile device 10, but may move within the electric wave communication limit, the connection with the main control unit 23 is continuously completed and the connection is broken, so that the event execution unit repeatedly switches the electric appliance, which may result in shortened electric appliance life. To solve this problem, the main control unit 23 may check the wireless signal strength of the mobile device 10 before determining whether the mobile device 10 passes the authentication procedure, and perform the authentication mechanism only when the wireless signal strength of the mobile device 10 is strong enough to determine whether the mobile device 10 passes the authentication procedure. For one embodiment, the authentication unit 24 scans the mobile device 10 when in the unattended mode, and ignores the signal if the strength of the scanned signal of the mobile device 10 is insufficient, until the strength of the signal of the mobile device 10 is strong enough, the authentication unit 24 does not start to connect with the mobile device 10 to perform the authentication procedure.

The environmental conditions at that time may be further considered when the event execution unit 22 receives the relevant event signal. For example, the event execution unit 22 is a lamp with a brightness meter, and can detect the brightness of the environment, and when receiving the home-returning event signal, the current environment brightness can be referred to, and if the brightness is insufficient, the lamp is automatically turned on.

Although the main functions are achieved by the unattended mode, the alert mode and the home mode, the wireless module in the authentication unit 24 needs to be continuously turned on, increasing the power consumption of the authentication unit 24. In addition, the authentication unit 24 may be installed inside a building, and the mobile device 10 uses a low power wireless signal for power saving, so the authentication unit 24 and the mobile device 10 need to pass the authentication procedure within a short distance, but the user opens the home to trigger the sensing element 21, but the authentication unit 24 and the mobile device 10 do not complete the authentication procedure yet to trigger an alarm, which causes a user to be bothered.

Therefore, when the main control unit 23 executes the unattended mode, the main control unit 23 monitors the trigger event signal and executes an alert mode after receiving the trigger event signal.

Further, as shown in fig. 2, fig. 6A and fig. 6B, the event management device further includes a timing unit 25. In another preferred embodiment of the event management method, the method includes the following steps:

executing the unattended mode (S601), and determining whether the sensing unit generates the trigger event signal (S602); wherein when the unattended mode is executed, the unattended event signal is generated and transmitted to the event execution unit;

when the sensing unit generates the trigger event signal (S602), the main control unit 23 first performs the following steps and then performs the alarm mode (S603):

executing a warning mode (S6022), stopping and resetting the timing time of the timing unit (S6023), starting the timing unit to start timing (S6024), and judging whether the mobile device passes the authentication procedure (S6025); when executing the warning mode, the main control unit generates and transmits a warning event signal to the event execution unit;

when the mobile device passes the authentication procedure, the main control unit executes the home mode (S606) and determines whether the mobile device passes the authentication procedure (S6061);

when the mobile device does not pass the authentication procedure, the main control unit determines whether the timing time of the timing unit exceeds a preset time (S6026);

when the timing time of the timing unit exceeds the preset time, the main control unit executes the alarm mode (S603) and determines whether the home mode setting signal is received (S604);

when receiving the home mode setting signal, executing the home mode (S606), and determining whether the mobile device passes the authentication procedure (S6061);

when the mobile device passes the authentication procedure, re-determining whether the mobile device passes the authentication procedure in the home mode (S6061);

when none of the mobile devices passes the authentication procedure, the unmanned mode is executed (S601);

when the go-home mode setting signal is not received, further determining whether an unmanned mode setting signal is received (S605);

executing the unmanned mode (S601) when the unmanned mode setting signal is received;

when the unattended mode setting signal is not received, re-determining whether the home mode setting signal is received (S604);

when the time counted by the timing unit does not exceed the preset time, the main control unit determines whether the mobile device passes the authentication procedure again (S6025).

After the alert mode is executed, the main control unit 23 will send the alert event signal, and after the timing unit 25 is started, determine whether the mobile device 10 passes the authentication procedure according to whether the authentication completion signal is received. If any mobile device 10 passes the authentication procedure before the time counted by the timing unit has not exceeded the preset time, the home mode is entered. If the time counted by the timer unit 25 exceeds the second predetermined time, none of the mobile devices 10 passes the authentication procedure, and then the alarm mode is entered. Thus, the authentication unit 24 does not need to start the wireless module in the unattended mode, and power consumption can be reduced. In addition, the trouble that an alarm is triggered first when the authentication procedure is executed does not occur.

However, since a time delay is generated from the generation of the trigger event signal to the alarm mode, if the event execution unit 21 is an image or sound recorder, the critical image cannot be recorded until the recording is started after the alarm event signal is received. The event execution unit 21, which is a video or audio recorder, needs to start recording from the time the warning event signal is received in order to avoid missing critical information. After entering the warning mode, when receiving the home-returning event signal, the event execution unit 21 may delete the information to protect the privacy of the user, or may preferentially delete the information when the recording space is insufficient to obtain more space. If the alert mode is entered, the recording of information continues until the user intervenes or receives another event signal.

Although the event management system of the present invention is convenient for a user to monitor a specific area, it cannot cover a large area, such as a large house or a factory with multiple rooms, due to the resource limitation of a single system. At this time, we can integrate several systems into a large system through the network, so that the user can flexibly adjust according to personal requirements and integrate them into a large system, like a system, to execute corresponding actions according to each event.

The event management system of the invention is a regional system, and a plurality of regional systems can be integrated into an integrated system. The integration system is a master-slave architecture, one regional system is selected as a main system in the integration system, other regional systems are subsystems, and one integration system only comprises one main system and at least one subsystem. Furthermore, the event management system of the present invention further includes a bridging unit, that is, the regional systems as the main system and the sub-systems respectively have a bridging unit, and the main system and the bridging units of the sub-systems are connected through a network. In the preferred embodiment, the main system has a main control unit, which also controls the sensing unit, the event execution unit, and the authentication unit of the main system, and in addition, receives the signals sent from the bridge unit of each subsystem through the bridge unit.

Therefore, the integrated system is controlled by the main control unit of the main system to execute the whole integrated system. The bridge unit in each subsystem is responsible for transmitting signals of the sensing unit and the authentication unit to the main control unit of the main system and receiving event signals sent by the main control unit of the main system to the sensing unit, the event execution unit and the authentication unit.

The main system and the sub-system under the integrated system do not need to have a complete sensing unit, an event execution unit and an authentication unit, but only need to have the sensing unit, the event execution unit and the authentication unit in the integrated system, so that a user can flexibly configure the system according to personal requirements.

For example, referring to fig. 7, the integrated system has a main system 20a and two

subsystems

20b and 20c, the main system 20a has an event execution unit 22a and a main control unit 23 a; a subsystem 20b having a bridge unit 26b, a sensing unit 21b and an event execution unit 22 b; the other subsystem 20c has a bridging unit 25c and an authentication unit 24 c.

The main control unit 23a of the main system 20a is connected to the bridge units 26b and 26c of the

subsystems

20b and 20c through a network, and the main control unit 23a of the main system 20a receives the trigger event signals of all the sensing units 21b in the integrated system and the authentication event signals of the authentication unit 24b to determine the currently executed mode. Similarly, when the master control unit 23a sends the relevant event signal to the whole integrated system, the master control unit 23a in the main system 20a sends the relevant event signal to the bridge units 26b and 26c of the

subsystems

20b and 20c via the network, so that each unit of the whole integrated system can perform the corresponding action as if it were a separate system.

However, the integrated system has two different systems, namely, the main system 20a and the

subsystems

20b and 20c, and the user must separately configure the system, which is likely to cause trouble in installation for the user, and in order to reduce the installation complexity for the user, the main system 20a may be installed in a server for execution.

For example, referring to fig. 7 and 8, a user has a house with two rooms, a shop in the front and a storage room in the rear, with a door 200 coupled thereto. A front door 211b and a window 212b are provided in the shop, and the user installs a first smart electronic device as the subsystem 20b in the shop and aligns the lens of the first smart electronic device 20b with the door and window so as to record the image at the time of intrusion. The user mounts a magnetic sensor as the sensing unit 21b on the front door 211b and the window 212b to sense whether the entrance is opened. In addition, an alarm speaker 221b and an electric lamp 222b are installed in the shop as the event execution unit 22 b.

Also provided in the rear storage compartment are a rear door 211c and a rear window 212c, on which a user also mounts a magnetic force sensor as the sensing unit 21c to sense whether the entrance is opened. Similarly, the user also installs a second intelligent electronic device as the subsystem 20c and directs the camera of the second intelligent electronic device 20c into the storage room.

The user carries a smart key ring 10 and is registered with the authentication unit. In addition, a server is provided on the network as the main system 20a, the main system 20a has a main control element 23a and an event execution element 22a, and the event execution element 22a in the main system 20a is responsible for sending related information to notify the user.

The first smart electronic device 20b in the store contains the bridge unit 26b, the event execution unit 22b and the authentication unit 24b, and cooperates with the front door 211b, the window 212b, the alarm speaker 221b and the lamp 222b in the store to form the subsystem 20 b. The second intelligent electronic device 20c of the storage room comprises a bridge unit 26c and an event execution unit 22c, and cooperates with the magnetic sensors disposed on the back door 211c and the back window 212c to form the subsystem 20 c.

When the integrated system is started, the main control unit 23a of the main system 20a enters the unattended mode, the current door is opened, the triggering event is transmitted to the bridge unit 26b of the subsystem 20b, the bridge unit 26b of the subsystem 20b is uploaded to the main control unit 23a of the main system 20a, the main control unit 23a is converted into the alarm mode, and the alarm event is transmitted to the event execution unit 22a in the main system 20a, so that the user is informed of the situation. In addition, the alarm event is also sent to the

subsystems

20b and 20c, and after receiving the alarm event signal, the bridge units 26b and 26c of the

subsystems

20b and 20c forward the alarm event signal to the

event execution units

22b and 22c in the

subsystems

20b and 20c to execute the relevant action. For example, the camera modules of the

subsystems

20b and 20c can start recording and upload the images to the server, so that the user can immediately see the current home condition and perform related actions.

For another example, after the user leaves the house, the authentication unit 24c of the subsystem 20b sends an authentication failure signal to the bridge unit of the subsystem 25b, the bridge unit 20b uploads the event to the main control unit 23a of the main system 20a, and the main control unit 23a knows that there is no mobile device 10 with any authentication completed in the current integrated system, so that the integrated system is switched to the unattended mode, and sends an unattended event signal to the

subsystems

20b and 20c, at this time, the

subsystems

20b and 20c can start the

sensing units

21b and 21c, and monitor the trigger signal.

Therefore, the subsystems of the whole integrated system are the same as the previous independent system, but are not limited by the resources of the subsystems, and a user can flexibly expand the whole system according to the needs.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
