Description

Event control method and event control device

Technical Field

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

Background

The living space of people is filled with various electric appliances, for example, in offices, there are electric appliances such as computers, electric fans, air conditioning equipment, electric lamps, etc.; in addition, there are electric appliances such as televisions, computers, electric fans, air conditioning equipment, electric lamps, water heaters, refrigerators, etc. in the home.

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

However, people leave and forget to turn off the electric appliances, which not only causes waste of electric power, but also may cause disasters caused by accidents that are not eliminated by people, such as fires caused by continuously turning on the electric heater.

In addition, in a security monitoring system in a home or office, since a user wants to protect personal privacy, the user often wants to be able to turn off a monitoring video of the security monitoring system during the time of the user's home or office. However, if the resident forgets to reset the alarm and leaves the system directly after turning off the security monitoring system, the security monitoring system will be the same as a dummy.

Furthermore, current monitoring systems use circular recordings for cost, 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 record for a long time, so that the existing control method for the electric appliance needs to be further improved.

Disclosure of Invention

In view of the current manner that users self-manage the starting or closing of the electrical appliance units or systems to reduce the consumption of electric power, when users leave rapidly and forget to close or start the electrical appliances, unnecessary electric power waste is caused, or safety is caused by the fact that a safety system forgets to be started.

The event control method is executed by a main control unit of an event control device, and the event control device also 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 unmanned mode is executed, an unmanned event signal is generated and transmitted to the event execution unit;

executing the unmanned mode when no mobile device passes the authentication procedure;

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 the unmanned mode setting signal is received;

When the unmanned mode setting signal is not received, whether the returning mode setting signal is received is judged again.

The event management and control device comprises:

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 a unmanned mode and judges whether the sensing unit generates a trigger event signal or not; when the master control unit executes the unmanned mode, the master 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 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 mode setting signal, the main control unit executes a home mode, and the main control unit further judges whether the mobile device passes the authentication program; when the main control unit executes the home mode, the main control unit generates and transmits a home event signal to the event execution unit; when the mobile device passes the authentication procedure, the main control unit judges whether the mobile device passes the authentication procedure again in the home mode;

Wherein the master control unit performs the unmanned mode when no mobile device passes the authentication procedure;

The control method is executed by the main control unit of the event control device, and the main control unit judges whether the mobile device passes the authentication program or not when the home mode is executed, so as to confirm whether the mobile device is in the near and short distance of the event control device at present, confirm whether a user is in home or not, and confirm that the user is in home and judge whether the mobile device passes the authentication program again when the mobile device passes the authentication program. When the main control unit executes the home mode and generates the home event signal, the main control unit controls the event execution unit to execute a home state, such as automatically turning on a headlight and a cold/warm device and turning off a camera of the 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 a headlight and a cooling/warming device. 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 trigger event signal, it represents that someone is invading, and no person is at home, so the main control unit executes the alarm mode to generate the alarm event signal, so as to control the event execution unit to execute an alarm state, such as turning on a camera of the monitoring system.

Therefore, the event management and control device can automatically switch modes and automatically control the event execution unit to execute corresponding states, thereby avoiding unnecessary power waste, ensuring personal privacy of users, enabling the monitoring system to start at important moment so as to record important images and avoiding the coverage of the important images due to cyclic video recording.

executing the unmanned mode when the unmanned mode setting signal is received (S101);

when the unmanned mode setting signal is not received, it is again determined whether the returning mode setting signal is received (S104).

Further, when the unmanned mode is executed and when the sensing unit does not generate the trigger event signal, the method further comprises the following steps:

determining whether a mobile device passes an authentication procedure (S1021);

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

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

Referring to fig. 2, the event management device 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 unmanned mode and determines whether the sensing unit 21 generates a trigger event signal. When the master control unit 23 executes the unmanned mode, the master control unit 23 generates and transmits an unmanned 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 performs the unmanned 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 master control unit 23 receives the unmanned mode setting signal, the master control unit 23 performs the unmanned mode.

When the master control unit 23 does not receive the unmanned mode setting signal, the master control unit 23 determines whether the returning 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 authentication unit 24 is used for performing the authentication procedure to determine whether the mobile device 10 passes the authentication procedure and thus whether a user is present. When the mobile device 10 passes through 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 master control unit 23 receives the authentication completion signal, the master control unit 23 determines that the mobile device 10 passes the authentication procedure.

When the master control unit 23 executes the unmanned mode and when the sensing unit 21 does not generate the trigger event signal, the master 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. But when the mobile device 10 does not pass the authentication procedure, the main control unit 23 re-determines whether the sensing unit 21 generates the trigger event signal.

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

For example, referring to fig. 3, the sensing unit 21 is used for detecting whether an area is invaded, and its main function is to detect activity within a range. The sensing unit 21 comprises at least one sensor, such as an infrared cut-off sensor, a magnetic sensor, a movement sensor, a weight sensor, etc., or a smart camera, which detects and determines the presence of a person in the area. In a preferred embodiment, a main gate, such as a gate, may be provided with a magnetic switch to determine whether the gate is open or not to determine that someone is present.

When someone intrudes into 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 has a main function 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, and can be connected to the main control unit 23 and carried by a user. Further, the mobile device 10 may be a wearable device, such as a smart watch, a smart ring, an earring, a necklace, a key ring, etc., or a portable electronic device, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, etc., which is carried by a user.

In the preferred embodiment, the authentication unit 24 of the mobile device 10 and the event management device 20 perform authentication wirelessly, such as Bluetooth (Bluetooth) wireless communication, bluetooth low energy (Bluetooth Low Energy) wireless communication, zigbee wireless communication or WiFi wireless communication.

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 for scanning the mobile device 10 or connecting with the mobile device 10.

In addition, before the master control unit 23 performs the 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. When the authentication unit 24 completes 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 perform an authentication procedure or to close the authentication procedure, and the authentication unit 24 transmits an 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 transmits 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. And because the authentication completion signal and the authentication failure signal both contain 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 currently through the authentication completion signal or the authentication failure signal.

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

The event execution unit 22 is connected to the main control unit 23 in a wired or wireless manner, so as to receive the home-returning event signal, the unmanned event signal or the alarm event signal sent by the main control unit 23, and make corresponding actions according to the event signals.

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

In addition, when the master control unit 23 is started, the master control unit 23 may start to execute from the unmanned mode or the home mode, and start the authentication unit 24 to execute the authentication procedure, so as to determine whether the mobile device 10 passes the authentication procedure. In a preferred embodiment, execution is preferably initiated by the home mode.

Before the authentication unit 24 is started, 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.

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, the authentication unit 24 compares whether the device data in the wireless signal sent by the mobile device 10 matches the registration data recorded during registration, and uses the same as authentication.

The authentication unit 24 has a record table for recording the data of the mobile device 10 that has completed the authentication procedure and the time when the signal from the mobile device 10 was last received. When a signal sent by a registered mobile device 10 is received, 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 received signal from the mobile device 10 has been recorded in the recording table, the authentication unit 24 updates the time of the corresponding received signal in the recording table to the current time; when the current time and the time recorded in the record table exceed a preset value, which represents that the mobile device 10 is not near the authentication unit 24, the information of the mobile device 10 is removed from the record table, and an authentication failure signal containing the information of the mobile device 10 is sent out.

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 the mobile device is scanned (S401);

when the wireless signal sent by the mobile device is scanned, judging whether the device data in the wireless signal is consistent with the registered 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);

updating a recording time corresponding to the device data in the wireless signal in the recording table to the current time when the device data in the wireless signal is recorded in the recording table (S404), and re-judging whether the wireless signal sent by the mobile device is scanned or not (S401);

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

When the device data in the wireless signal does not match the registration data recorded at the time of registration, re-judging whether the wireless signal sent by the mobile device is scanned (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 table and the current time exceeds a preset value (S407);

when the time difference between the recording time corresponding to any one of the device data recorded in the recording table and the current time exceeds the preset value, removing the device data corresponding to the recording time with the current time exceeding the preset value from the recording table, generating and transmitting the authentication failure signal (S408), and re-judging whether the wireless signal transmitted by the mobile device is scanned (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, it is determined whether the wireless signal sent by the mobile device is scanned (S401).

However, the wireless signal sent by the mobile device 10 may be recorded by a person with ordinary skill in the art, and the further authentication procedure is a connection authentication procedure. Since the mobile device 10 is already registered with the authentication unit 24, only the registered mobile device can be connected, when the authentication unit 24 is successfully connected with the mobile device 10, it can be considered as passing the authentication procedure.

In another embodiment, the mobile device 10 may store a password, and the mobile device 10 may establish a connection directly through the stored password. Thus, the mobile device 10 can 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, where the smart phone stores 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 procedure.

The connection authentication procedure, like the scan authentication procedure, contains a record table that records the mobile device 10 that has been authenticated at the present time. When the connection is completed, adding the mobile device 10 which completes the connection to a record list, and sending an authentication completion signal containing information of the mobile device; when the connected mobile device 10 loses connection, the mobile device 10 that has lost connection is removed from the record list, and an authentication failure signal containing the information of the mobile device that has lost connection is sent out.

For example, referring to fig. 5A, in a preferred embodiment, the authentication procedure comprises 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 after generating and sending an authentication completion signal (S503), re-judging whether the connection with the registered mobile device is successful (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 the mobile device which is successfully connected is disconnected, the device data of the mobile device which is disconnected is removed from the record list (S505), and after an authentication failure signal is generated and sent (S506), whether the mobile device which is successfully connected with the registered mobile device is judged again (S501);

when the connection with the mobile device that has been successfully connected is not lost, it is newly judged whether the connection with the registered mobile device is successful (S501).

In addition, it is also possible that a person with ordinary skill in the art steals the mobile device 10 from the user's hand in order to invade 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 number key input module, which can allow the user to input a password and allow the user to input a password during registration, when the authentication unit 24 performs the authentication procedure, the authentication unit 24 will transmit the information of which mobile device 10 is currently executing the authentication procedure back to the main control unit 23, and the main control unit 23 will issue a prompt tone to request the user to input a password at this time, and when the user inputs a correct password, the authentication procedure is completed.

However, when a connection scheme is used in the authentication procedure, the connection between the mobile device 10 and the authentication unit 24 may be disconnected due to interference of wireless signals. At this time, the user is at home, but the main control unit 23 jumps back to the unmanned mode because the authentication unit 24 is disconnected from the mobile device 10, and the event execution unit 22 executes an unmanned event to turn off the electric appliance, which causes trouble to the user. In order to avoid the above problems, a retry connection authentication procedure should be added when the authentication procedure of the connection scheme is performed.

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. The retry connection table records the time of the loss of 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 out 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 retry connection table exceeds a predetermined value, the authentication failure signal is sent out and the field is removed from the retry connection table.

When the mobile device 10 is in the retry connection table at the time of connection completion, the field in the retry connection table is removed and this information is added back to the connected authentication table. In this way, the authentication unit 24 automatically retries the connection without causing trouble to the user due to unexpected disconnection.

For example, referring to fig. 5B, in the preferred embodiment, when the master control unit 23 executes the 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);

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

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

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

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

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

when the mobile device that has been 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 record table (S5010), and re-judging whether the connection with the registered mobile device is successful (S5002);

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

when the time difference between the time corresponding to the device data of any one of the mobile devices losing connection in the retry connection record table and the current time exceeds the preset value, removing the device data of the mobile device losing connection from the retry connection record table (S5012), generating and transmitting an authentication failure signal (S5013), and re-judging 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 which does not have lost the connection in the retry connection record table and the current time exceeds the preset value, it is determined whether the connection with the registered mobile device is successful (S5002).

In yet another embodiment, when executing the authentication procedure, the main control unit 23 is connected to a server, the server sends information 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 preset time, and after 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 complete the authentication procedure.

When the master control unit 23 enters the unmanned mode, the master control unit 23 transmits the unmanned event signal to the event execution unit 22. In the unmanned 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 in the unmanned mode, representing something intruding into the monitored area, the master control unit 23 proceeds to execute the alarm mode.

When the authentication unit 24 performs the authentication procedure on any one of the mobile devices 10 in the unmanned mode, and determines that at least one mobile device 10 passes the authentication procedure, it represents that a user returns to the monitoring area, and further generates the authentication completion signal, so that the master control unit 10 performs the home mode instead.

When the main control unit 23 enters the alarm mode, it sends the alarm event signal to the event execution unit 22, waits for the intervention of the user, and determines whether a unmanned mode setting signal or a home mode setting signal is received after the intervention of the user. After the user intervenes, the user can set the main control unit 23 to return to the unmanned mode or the home mode according to the requirement. For example, the user may set thirty minutes after entering the alert mode to automatically return to the unmanned 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 security, the main control unit 23 receives a setting signal sent from the remote end through the mobile device 10 or the network to execute the unmanned mode or the home-returning mode. This part can be set by the user himself.

When the main control unit 23 enters the home mode, it sends the home event signal to the event execution unit 22. When the master control unit 23 receives the authentication failure signal from the authentication unit 24 and determines that no mobile device 10 is in an authentication completion state, it indicates that no person is present at home, and the master control unit 23 performs the unmanned mode.

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

As shown in fig. 3, in an embodiment, a smart phone is provided with a software as the event management device 20, and the master control unit 23, the authentication unit 24 and the event execution unit 22 are included. 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 of which is a gate 31 and the other of which is a window 32, and is provided with a magnetic sensor as the sensing unit 21 for sensing whether the entrance is opened. In addition, a camera and an alarm horn and an electric lamp as other event execution units 22 may be additionally installed in the room.

Wherein magnetic force sensors on the door and window are the sensing unit 21, and the camera, the alarm horn and the light switch are the event execution unit 22. The user wishes the light to automatically turn off when away from home to save power, the light being designed to process the unmanned event signal and turn off the socket when the unmanned event signal is received to save power.

The user hopes that the camera and the alarm loudspeaker can start recording when someone breaks into the monitoring area, and sound an alarm to scare the intruder. The camera and the alarm horn are designed to process the alarm event signal, and when the alarm event signal is received, the camera is started, the alarm horn is started, and the alarm event signal is transmitted to the event execution unit 22 in the smart phone, so that the user is notified of the information through the network, and the image is uploaded to a server, so that the user can confirm the current situation. In addition, the mobile phone camera module of the smart phone can also be used as the event execution unit 22, and the function of the mobile phone camera module is the same as that of the camera.

The event execution unit 22 may also process various events, such as the light switch being turned on and off continuously after the alarm event signal is received, to deter intruders, or being turned on automatically after the home-returning event signal is received. These can be set freely by the user to meet the demands of the user.

Thus, the present invention is an automated system that shuts down the associated appliance when the user leaves and automatically turns on the associated appliance after the user returns. When the user is not running by something unknown, the related equipment can be opened and the user is notified.

The main control unit 23, the sensing unit 21 and the event execution unit 22 may be a hardware or a 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 someone opens the door, the sensing unit application detects that the smart phone moves, so that the triggering event signal is sent to the main control unit application, so that the main control unit application sends the alarm event signal to the event execution unit application, and the camera lens on the smart phone is opened to start shooting, or a simple message is sent to a user.

In addition, the sensing unit 21 and the event execution unit 22 may be integrated in the same set of hardware, such as an intelligent camera, which can detect whether a person intrudes into the monitoring area, and send the trigger event signal to the main control unit 23 when the person intrudes, and the main control unit 23 sends the alarm event signal to the intelligent camera when the user is judged not to be present, in this embodiment, the intelligent camera is the sensing unit 21 and the event execution unit 22.

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

Further, since the user carries the mobile device 10, the user may move in the electric wave communication limit range, and thus the connection with the main control unit 23 is continuously completed and the connection is disconnected, so that the event execution unit repeatedly turns on and off the electric appliance, which may cause a reduction in the life of the electric appliance. 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 to determine whether the mobile device 10 passes the authentication procedure when the wireless signal strength of the mobile device 10 is strong enough. In one embodiment, the authentication unit 24 scans the mobile device 10 while in the unmanned mode, ignoring the signal if the signal strength of the scanned mobile device 10 is insufficient, until the signal strength of the mobile device 10 is sufficiently strong, the authentication unit 24 begins to connect with the mobile device 10 to perform the authentication procedure.

When the event execution unit 22 receives the relevant event signals, the then-current environmental conditions may be further considered. For example, the event execution unit 22 is a lamp with a luminance meter, which detects the ambient luminance, and when the home-returning event signal is received, the current ambient luminance may be referenced, and the lamp is automatically turned on if the luminance is insufficient.

Although the main functions are achieved by the unmanned mode, the alarm mode and the home mode, the wireless module in the authentication unit 24 needs to be continuously turned on, which increases 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 to save power, so that 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 at this time, the authentication unit 24 and the mobile device 10 do not complete the authentication procedure yet to trigger an alarm, which causes trouble to the user.

Therefore, when the master control unit 23 performs the unmanned mode, the master control unit 23 monitors the trigger event signal and performs a warning mode after receiving the trigger event signal.

Further, referring to fig. 2, 6A and 6B, the event management device further includes a timing unit 25. And another preferred embodiment of the event management method comprises the following steps:

executing the unmanned mode (S601), and judging whether the sensing unit generates the trigger event signal (S602); wherein when the unmanned mode is executed, generating and transmitting the unmanned event signal to the event execution unit;

when the sensing unit generates the trigger event signal (S602), the main control unit 23 performs the following steps before performing 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 no mobile device passes 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 the home mode setting signal is received, executing the home mode (S606), and judging whether the mobile device passes the authentication procedure (S6061);

when the mobile device passes the authentication procedure, in the home mode, re-judging whether the mobile device passes the authentication procedure or not (S6061);

executing the unmanned mode when no mobile device passes the authentication procedure (S601);

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

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

when the unmanned mode setting signal is not received, re-judging whether the returning mode setting signal is received (S604);

when the timing time of the timing unit does not exceed the preset time, the main control unit re-determines whether the mobile device passes the authentication procedure (S6025).

After executing the alert mode, the main control unit 23 sends the alert event signal, and after starting the timer unit 25 at this time, it is determined whether the mobile device 10 passes the authentication procedure according to whether the authentication completion signal is received. If any one of the mobile devices 10 passes the authentication procedure before the counted time of the counting unit has not exceeded the preset time, the home mode is entered. If the timing time of the timing unit 25 exceeds the second preset time, no mobile device 10 passes the authentication procedure, the alarm mode is entered. In this way, the authentication unit 24 does not need to start the wireless module in the unmanned mode, so that power consumption can be saved. In addition, the trouble of triggering an alarm first while the authentication procedure is being executed does not occur.

However, since generating the trigger event signal to the alarm mode will cause a delay for a period of time, if the event execution unit 22 is an image or sound recorder, it will not be able to record critical images if recording is started from the time the alarm event signal is received. The event execution unit 22, which is a video or audio recorder, needs to start recording from the time of receiving the warning event signal to avoid missing critical information. When the warning mode is entered and the home-returning event signal is received, the event execution unit 22 may delete the information to protect the privacy of the user, or may preferentially delete the information to obtain more space when the recording space is insufficient. If the warning mode is entered, the recording of information continues until the user intervenes or other event signals are received.

Although the event management system of the present invention can be used for monitoring a specific area, it cannot cover a large area, such as a large house or factory with a plurality of rooms, due to the resource limitation of a single system. At this time, several systems can be integrated into a large system through a network, so that the user can flexibly adjust the system according to personal needs and integrate the system into a large system, and the system can execute corresponding actions according to various events.

The event management system of the present invention is a regional system, and integrating a plurality of regional systems can be an integrated system. The integration system is a master-slave architecture, one regional system is selected from the integration systems as a master system, the other regional systems are subsystems, and one integration system only comprises one master system and at least one subsystem. Furthermore, the event management system of the present invention further comprises a bridging unit, that is, the local systems serving as the main system and the subsystems respectively have a bridging unit, and the main system and the bridging units of the subsystems 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 signals sent by the bridge units of the subsystems through the bridge unit.

Therefore, the main control unit of the main system controls the execution mode of the whole integrated system. The bridging unit in each subsystem is respectively 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 subsystem under the integrated system do not need to have a complete sensing unit, event execution unit and authentication unit, and only need to have the sensing unit, event execution unit and authentication unit in the integrated system, so that a user can flexibly configure according to personal requirements.

For example, referring to fig. 7, the integrated system has a main system 20a and two subsystems 20b, 20c, the main system 20a has an event execution unit 22a and a main control unit 23a; a subsystem 20b has a bridge unit 26b, a sensing unit 21b and an event execution unit 22b; the other subsystem 20c has a bridging unit 26c and an authentication unit 24c.

The master control unit 23a of the master system 20a is connected to the bridge units 26b, 26c of the subsystems 20b, 20c via a network, and the master control unit 23a of the master system 20a receives trigger event signals of all the sensing units 21b and authentication event signals of the authentication unit 24b in the integrated system to determine the current execution mode. Similarly, when the master unit 23a is to send the relevant event signals to the whole integrated system, the master unit 23a in the master system 20a sends the event signals 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 corresponding actions as a separate system.

However, the integrated system has two different systems, i.e., the main system 20a and the sub-systems 20b and 20c, which must be separately set by the user, and thus the user may be easily bothered in the installation, and the main system 20a may be installed in a server to reduce the complexity of the installation of the user.

For example, referring to fig. 7 and 8, a user has a house with two rooms, a store in front and a storage room in back, with a door 200 connected thereto. A front door 211b and a window 212b are provided in the store, and the user installs a first intelligent electronic device as the subsystem 20b in the store and aligns the lens of the first intelligent electronic device 20b to the door and window so as to record the current image when being invaded. The user installs magnetic force sensors 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 horn 221b and an electric lamp 222b are installed in the store as the event execution unit 22b.

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

The user carries a smart key fob 10 and registers 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 relevant information to inform the user.

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

When the integrated system is started, the main control unit 23a of the main system 20a enters the unmanned mode, the current door is opened, the trigger event is transmitted to the bridge unit 26b of the sub-system 20b, the bridge unit 26b of the sub-system 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 sent to the event execution unit 22a in the main system 20a, so that the user is informed of the event. In addition, alarm events are also sent to the subsystems 20b, 20c, and after the bridge units 26b, 26c of the subsystems 20b, 20c receive the alarm event signals, they are forwarded to the event execution units 22b, 22c in the subsystems 20b, 20c to execute the relevant actions. For example, the camera modules of the subsystems 20b, 20c can start recording and upload the images to the server, so that the user can immediately see the current home situation and perform related actions.

For example, after the user leaves the house, the authentication unit 24b of the subsystem 20b sends an authentication failure signal to the bridge unit 26b of the subsystem 20b, the bridge unit 26b uploads the event to the master control unit 23a of the master system 20a, and the master control unit 23a is informed that any mobile device 10 with authentication completed in the integrated system is not available, so that the mobile device is switched to an unmanned mode and sends an unmanned event signal to the subsystems 20b and 20c, and at this time, the subsystems 20b and 20c can start the sensing units 21b and 21c and monitor the trigger signal.

Thus, the subsystem of the whole integrated system is just like a previous independent system, but is not limited by the resources of the subsystem, so that a user can flexibly expand the whole system according to requirements.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but is capable of modification and variation in all aspects, including those obvious to those skilled in the art, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
