All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

With the development of the smart lock industry, more and more consumers use smart locks. Meanwhile, the intelligent lock can provide various humanized functions along with different use scenes of the user. The intelligent lock generally verifies the identity through inputting a password through a physical key or collecting a fingerprint through a fingerprint device, and the intelligent lock is unlocked after the identity is verified.

In the research process of the related method for controlling the intelligent lock, it is found that if the user needs to repeatedly open/close the lock within a period of time, the user needs to repeatedly input authentication information to perform identity authentication before unlocking operation is performed, and user experience is still to be improved.

Therefore, the inventor provides an unlocking method, an unlocking device, an intelligent lock and a storage medium, wherein the unlocking method, the unlocking device, the intelligent lock and the storage medium are used for detecting whether the unlocking request operation is triggered or not, detecting whether the current time is in a verification-free time period or not if the unlocking request operation is detected, executing the unlocking operation if the current time is in the verification-free time period, and enabling a user who expects to trigger the unlocking of the intelligent lock to be capable of unlocking the intelligent lock without performing identity verification in the verification-free time period.

A network system according to an embodiment of the present application will be described below.

Referring to fig. 1, a network system 10 according to an embodiment of the present application includes: target terminal device 11, server 12, gateway 13, smart lock 14 and router 15. The target terminal device may be any device having communication and storage functions, for example: the smart phone, the desktop computer, the notebook computer, the tablet computer or other smart communication devices with network connection functions. The server 12 may be a network access server, a database server, a cloud server, or the like. The optional gateway 13 may be built based on a Zigbee protocol, and the intelligent lock 14 may be a device that is added in the gateway 13 in advance, for example, the intelligent lock 14 may be a device in a suite to which the gateway 13 belongs when the gateway 13 leaves a factory; or a device subsequently connected to the gateway 13 by a user operation.

Optionally, a client capable of managing the smart home device is installed in the target terminal device 11, where the client may be an application client (such as a mobile phone APP) or a web page client, and is not limited herein.

Optionally, the intelligent lock 14 may establish a network connection with the gateway 13 based on the Zigbee protocol, so as to join in the Zigbee network; the intelligent lock 14 may also establish a network connection with the gateway 13 through wireless communication technologies such as WIFI or bluetooth.

Both the gateway 13 and the target terminal device 11 may be connected to the router 15, and may access the ethernet through the router 15, and the router 15 may access the server through wired or wireless communication connection. For example, the gateway 13 and the target terminal device 11 may store the acquired information in the server 12. Optionally, the target terminal device 11 may also establish a network connection with the server 12 through 2G/3G/4G/5G, WIFI, so as to obtain data sent by the server 12.

Alternatively, the local area network path shown in fig. 1 indicates that the target terminal device 11 is in the same local area network as the router 15 and the gateway 13, and the wide area network path indicates that the target terminal device 11 is in the same wide area network as the router 15 and the gateway 13. When the target terminal device 11 is in the same local area network as the router 15 and the gateway 13, the target terminal device 11 may interact with the gateway 13 and the intelligent lock 14 connected to the gateway 13 through a local area network path as shown in fig. 1; it is also possible to interact with the gateway 13 and the smart lock 14 connected to the gateway 13 via a wide area network path as shown in fig. 1. When the target terminal device 11 is not in the same local area network as the router 15 and the gateway 13, the target terminal device 11 may interact with the gateway 13 and the smart lock 14 connected to the gateway 13 through a wide area network path as shown in fig. 1.

Based on the network system described above, embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 2, a method for controlling an intelligent lock according to an embodiment of the present application includes:

step S110: whether an unlocking request operation is triggered or not is detected.

As one mode, when the smart lock receives an instruction sent by the target terminal device, the smart lock starts to detect whether an unlocking request operation is triggered. Optionally, the intelligent lock may determine whether the received instruction is an instruction for triggering the intelligent lock to start the unlocking request operation by detecting whether the received instruction is the same as a stored instruction for detecting whether the unlocking request operation is triggered. If the two conditions are the same, the intelligent lock starts to detect whether the unlocking request is triggered.

As another mode, the smart lock may detect whether a user inputs a trigger through a key, a screen, or the like of the smart lock to detect whether an instruction of an unlocking request operation is triggered. For example, when the intelligent lock detects that a user inputs a specific password through the intelligent lock key, the intelligent lock starts to detect whether an unlocking request operation is triggered. The specific password can be a password which is pre-entered into the intelligent lock by the user for subsequent authentication.

Step S120: and if the unlocking request operation is detected, detecting whether the current time is in a verification-free time period.

It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the smart lock may correspond to an authentication-free mode and a non-authentication-free mode. When the intelligent lock is in the authentication-free mode, an authentication-free time period corresponds to the intelligent lock, and the intelligent lock is in the authentication-free mode in the authentication-free time period. When the intelligent lock is in the verification-free mode, any user can unlock the intelligent lock without identity verification, and user experience is improved. The verification-free unlocking mode can be unlocked through a wireless communication technology, such as Bluetooth and WIFI, and then the verification-free unlocking mode can be connected with the target terminal equipment and then sends an instruction, and the verification-free unlocking mode can also be set at an instruction input module of the door lock, such as a key and a screen.

As a mode, when the smart lock detects that there is an unlocking request operation, the smart lock detects whether the verification-free unlocking mode is in an open state, and if the verification-free unlocking mode is in the open state, the smart lock acquires the current time and detects whether the current time is in a verification-free time period.

Optionally, the intelligent lock may start timing and record the current time when detecting that the user performs a door lock closing operation, end timing and record the current time when detecting an unlocking request operation, and determine whether the current time is in the current verification-free time period by calculating a difference between two previous and subsequent times of recording the time.

Step S130: and if the current time is in the verification-free time period, executing unlocking operation.

As a mode, if the current time is in the verification-free time period, any user can directly trigger the intelligent lock to execute the unlocking operation without identity verification.

The method for controlling the intelligent lock comprises the steps of firstly detecting whether an unlocking request operation is triggered or not, detecting whether the current time is in a verification-free time period or not if the unlocking request operation is detected, and executing the unlocking operation if the current time is in the verification-free time period. Through the mode of setting up the verification-free time quantum of unblanking, can be so that in the verification-free time quantum, the user who expects to trigger the intelligence lock and unblank need not carry out authentication, just can unblank the operation, and then has promoted user experience.

Referring to fig. 3, a method for controlling an intelligent lock according to an embodiment of the present application includes:

step S210: and acquiring the current verification-free unlocking mode level.

As a mode, the intelligent lock can be connected with the target terminal device through wireless communication technologies such as bluetooth and WIFI, after the connection, the user can set the level of the verification-free unlocking mode through the target terminal device, and the target terminal device can send the intelligent lock after acquiring the level of the verification-free unlocking mode set by the user, so that the intelligent lock can store the intelligent lock. Wherein the level of the verification-free unlocking mode can be set based on the bolt state of the intelligent lock.

Moreover, the user can set different time lengths of the authentication-free time periods for the authentication-free unlocking modes of different levels through the target terminal device, so that the intelligent lock can determine the time length of the current authentication-free time period by acquiring the level of the current authentication-free unlocking mode.

It should be noted that the authentication-free mode of the smart lock may be opened in response to an instruction sent by the target terminal device as shown in the foregoing, or may be opened in response to a timing event. When the intelligent lock detects that the authentication-free mode is opened, the intelligent lock can start to acquire the current authentication-free unlocking mode level.

Step S220: and determining the time length of the current verification-free time period according to the current verification-free unlocking mode grade.

As one way, different time lengths of the authentication-free time periods are set for the authentication-free unlock modes of different levels in the above-described manner. Therefore, if the smart lock determines the level of the current authentication-free unlocking mode by acquiring the bolt state of the smart lock, the time length of the current authentication-free time period can be determined by the level of the current authentication-free unlocking mode.

Step S230: whether an unlocking request operation is triggered or not is detected.

Step S240: and if the unlocking request operation is detected, detecting whether the current time is in a verification-free time period.

Step S250: and if the current time is in the verification-free time period, executing unlocking operation.

Step S260: and if the operation related to the door closing lock request is detected, the verification-free time period is counted again from the current moment.

As a mode, when the intelligent lock detects that there is a door closing request operation, the intelligent lock starts timing when the intelligent lock is closed for the first time after the verification-free unlocking mode switch state is opened, the timing duration of the intelligent lock is not cleared when the intelligent lock subsequently operates, and the verification-free unlocking mode switch state is closed after the timing duration exceeds the time length of the current verification-free time period. For example, in a movie theater auditorium, a maximum allowable time lag of 20min can be set, a verification-free time period lasting for 20min can be set, any user can directly enter the movie theater auditorium without identity verification in the verification-free time period of 20min, and if the verification-free time period of 20min is exceeded, the intelligent lock needs to be authenticated and then is triggered to unlock the movie theater auditorium.

As another mode, when the intelligent lock detects that there is a door closing request operation, the intelligent lock resets the timing and resets the timing from the time of door closing each time after the state of the verification-free unlocking mode switch is opened, until the state of the verification-free unlocking mode switch is closed after the time of the verification-free unlocking mode switch is reached. For example, daily work, a door which is normally opened during the work time period, such as an office door, can be set in a verification-free unlocking mode, and a worker can freely enter and exit the office, so that inconvenience is reduced, and if the worker needs to enter the office during the work time period, the worker needs to perform identity verification to unlock the door.

The method for controlling the intelligent lock obtains a current verification-free unlocking mode grade, determines the time length of a current verification-free time period according to the current verification-free unlocking mode grade, detects whether an unlocking request operation is triggered, detects whether the current time is in the verification-free time period if the unlocking request operation is detected, executes the unlocking operation if the current time is in the verification-free time period, and times the verification-free time period again from the current time if the related door closing request operation is detected. By setting the verification-free unlocking mode grade and setting different time lengths of verification-free time periods for each verification-free unlocking mode grade, the entering and exiting of personnel in a specific scene can be controlled, and the user experience is improved.

Referring to fig. 4, a method for controlling an intelligent lock according to an embodiment of the present application includes:

step S310: and acquiring a preset verification-free unlocking mode grade and a preset verification-free time period corresponding to the preset verification-free unlocking mode grade from the target terminal equipment.

As a mode, the smart lock may obtain a level of the authentication-free unlocking mode and a time length of a corresponding authentication-free time period set by the user through an application program, an APP, and the like on the target terminal device.

Step S320: and storing the preset verification-free unlocking mode grade acquired from the target terminal equipment and the preset time length of the verification-free time period corresponding to the preset verification-free unlocking mode grade.

As one mode, the smart lock may store the level of the authentication-free unlocking mode set in the target terminal device and the time length of the corresponding authentication-free time period in a storage area of the smart lock.

Step S330: and acquiring the state of the bolt of the current intelligent lock.

It should be noted that the lock tongue is a component of the intelligent lock, and the general lock tongue can be divided into an oblique tongue, a corner tongue, a square tongue and a reverse lock tongue. And each bolt can be extended and retracted, and the state combination of each bolt in the embodiment of the application can reflect the operation action of the intelligent lock and the function of the door lock. The latch bolt can be kept extending all the time, and only when the door lock is closed, the latch bolt can slide into the latch bolt hole and retract, and then can be extended quickly; the angle tongue is kept extending all the time when the door is opened and is kept retracting after the door is closed; the square bolt can extend out after a user lifts the door lock handle, and can retract after the user presses the door lock handle or the user unlocks by using a key; the user can extend or retract the anti-lock bolt through an anti-lock device (such as an anti-lock knob) and can retract after a door lock handle is pressed down or a key is used for door opening operation. For example, fig. 5 shows a schematic diagram of the bolt and the bolt hole of the intelligent lock, and it can be seen from fig. 5 that the latch bolt, the square bolt and the counter bolt all have corresponding latch bolt hole, square bolt hole and counter bolt hole on the door frame, and the corner bolt has no bolt hole because the corresponding position of the corner bolt does not need to leave a hole.

As one mode, when the smart lock detects an operation instruction that triggers detection of the state of the lock tongue of the smart lock, detection of the states of a plurality of lock tongues of the smart lock is started.

In order to more accurately acquire the state of the bolt of the intelligent lock, a state detection sensor may be configured for each bolt, and the state of the bolt of the intelligent lock may be detected in real time by using the state detection sensor, wherein the state detection sensor may include a bolt state detection sensor (which may be used for detecting whether the door is closed or not, or whether the door is in a virtual state), a bolt state detection sensor (which may be used for detecting the state of the door being locked), and a tongue state detection sensor (which may be used for detecting the state of the door being opened or closed).

Step S340: and acquiring a verification-free unlocking mode grade corresponding to the state of the lock tongue as a current verification-free unlocking mode grade, wherein the verification-free unlocking mode grades corresponding to different states of the lock tongue are different, and the verification-free time period lengths corresponding to different verification-free unlocking mode grades are different.

As one way, under the condition that the intelligent lock is closed, the states of the oblique bolt, the square bolt and the inverse locking bolt of the intelligent lock can include the following different conditions, which can include the condition that only the oblique bolt extends out and both the square bolt and the inverse locking bolt retract; the situation that only the latch bolt and the dead bolt extend and the anti-latch bolt retracts can be included; the situation that only the latch bolt and the reverse latch bolt extend and the dead bolt retracts can be included; the conditions of extending the oblique bolt, the square bolt and the reverse locking bolt can be included.

Optionally, the intelligent lock acquires the current state of the bolt of the intelligent lock, and determines the current corresponding level of the verification-free unlocking mode according to the current states of the dead bolt, the dead bolt and the anti-dead bolt.

Step S350: and determining the time length of the current verification-free time period based on the stored time length of the verification-free time period corresponding to the preset verification-free unlocking mode grade and the current verification-free unlocking mode grade.

As one mode, the intelligent lock may determine the level of the verification-free unlocking mode corresponding to the currently acquired lock tongue state by querying the stored lock tongue state of the intelligent lock, and further acquire the time length of the corresponding verification-free time period.

Step S360: whether an unlocking request operation is triggered or not is detected.

Step S370: and if the unlocking request operation is detected, detecting whether the current time is in a verification-free time period.

Step S380: and if the current time is in the verification-free time period, executing unlocking operation.

The method for controlling the intelligent lock obtains the preset verification-free unlocking mode grade from the target terminal equipment, the preset time length of the verification-free time period corresponding to the preset verification-free unlocking mode grade, the preset verification-free unlocking mode grade obtained from the target terminal equipment, the preset verification-free time period corresponding to the preset verification-free unlocking mode grade, the state of the bolt of the current intelligent lock is obtained, the verification-free unlocking mode grade corresponding to the state of the bolt is obtained and serves as the current verification-free unlocking mode grade, and the time length of the current verification-free unlocking mode is determined based on the stored time length of the verification-free time period corresponding to the preset verification-free unlocking mode grade and the current verification-free unlocking mode grade, detecting whether an unlocking request operation is triggered or not, if the unlocking request operation is detected, detecting whether the current time is in a verification-free time period or not, and if the current time is in the verification-free time period, executing the unlocking operation. By setting the verification-free unlocking mode grade and setting different time lengths of verification-free time periods for each verification-free unlocking mode grade, the entering and exiting of personnel in a specific scene can be controlled, and the user experience is improved.

Referring to fig. 6, a method for controlling an intelligent lock according to an embodiment of the present application includes:

step S410: and acquiring the on-off state of the verification-free unlocking mode of the intelligent lock from the target terminal equipment.

Step S420: and if the verification-free unlocking mode of the intelligent lock is the unlocking state, acquiring the state of the bolt of the current intelligent lock.

Step S430: and acquiring a verification-free unlocking mode grade corresponding to the state of the lock tongue as a current verification-free unlocking mode grade, wherein the verification-free unlocking mode grades corresponding to different states of the lock tongue are different, and the verification-free time period lengths corresponding to different verification-free unlocking mode grades are different.

As a mode, the following four verification-free unlocking mode levels can be set according to the extended and retracted states of the lock tongues including the first lock tongue, the second lock tongue and the third lock tongue: if the state of the first bolt is an extended state, the states of the second bolt and the third bolt are retracted states, and the current verification-free unlocking mode level is acquired to be a first level; if the states of the first bolt and the second bolt are both in an extending state, the state of the third bolt is in a retracting state, and the current verification-free unlocking mode level is acquired to be a second level; if the states of the first bolt and the third bolt are extension states and the state of the second bolt is retraction state, acquiring that the current verification-free unlocking mode level is a third level; and if the states of the first bolt, the second bolt and the third bolt are all extension states, acquiring that the current verification-free unlocking mode level is a fourth level. Wherein the first level is higher in priority than the second level, the second level is higher in priority than the third level, and the third level is higher in priority than the fourth level.

Optionally, the first lock tongue may be a latch tongue, the second lock tongue may be a square tongue, and the third lock tongue may be a counter lock tongue, and different time lengths of the non-verification time periods may be set according to non-verification unlocking mode levels of different priorities, as shown in the following table:

bolt retraction and extension state	Grade	Time length of authentication-free time period
			Only the oblique bolt extends out, and the square bolt and the reverse bolt retract	A	Ta
Only the oblique tongue and the square tongue extend out, and the reverse lock tongue retracts	B	Tb
			Only the oblique bolt and the reverse locking bolt extend out and the square bolt retracts	C	Tc
The latch bolt and the dead bolt are extended	D	Td

The time lengths of Ta, Tb, Tc, and Td may be set by the user according to the needs of the user, for example, the time lengths of 10min or 20 s.

Step S440: and determining the time length of the current verification-free time period according to the current verification-free unlocking mode grade.

As a mode, after the intelligent lock detects the retraction and extension state of the lock tongue, the level of the verification-free unlocking mode corresponding to the retraction and extension state of the lock tongue is obtained, for example, the state that the retraction and extension state of the lock tongue is detected by the intelligent lock is the extension state, and the states of the dead bolt and the anti-lock tongue are both the retraction states, so that the current verification-free unlocking mode level is known to be a by querying stored data, and then the time length of the current verification-free time period can be obtained to be Ta.

Step S450: whether an unlocking request operation is triggered or not is detected.

Step S460: and if the unlocking request operation is detected, detecting whether the current time is in a verification-free time period.

Step S470: and if the current time is in the verification-free time period, executing unlocking operation.

The method for controlling the intelligent lock comprises the steps of obtaining the switch state of a verification-free unlocking mode of the intelligent lock from a target terminal device, if the verification-free unlocking mode of the intelligent lock is in an opening state, executing to obtain the state of a lock tongue of the current intelligent lock, obtaining a verification-free unlocking mode grade corresponding to the state of a lock house, using the verification-free unlocking mode grade as the current verification-free unlocking mode grade, determining the time length of the current verification-free time period according to the current verification-free unlocking mode grade, detecting whether an unlocking request operation is triggered, detecting whether the current time is in the verification-free time period if the unlocking request operation is detected, and executing the unlocking operation if the current time is in the verification-free time period. Whether the lock tongue state of the current intelligent lock is obtained or not is determined by detecting the on-off state of the verification-free unlocking mode, the unlocking efficiency can be improved, the corresponding verification-free unlocking mode grade is determined according to the lock tongue state, the time length of the verification-free time period is further obtained, and the user experience is improved.

Referring to fig. 7, a method for controlling an intelligent lock according to an embodiment of the present application includes:

step S510: whether an unlocking request operation is triggered or not is detected.

Step S520: and if the unlocking request operation is detected, detecting whether the current time is in a verification-free time period.

As a mode, according to the unlocking operation, generating a log representing verification-free unlocking success, and sending the log to the target terminal device.

When the intelligent lock is connected with the target terminal equipment through wireless communication technologies such as WIFI and Bluetooth, the intelligent lock can send a log representing verification-free unlocking success to the target terminal equipment, and the target terminal equipment is indicated to store and display the log.

Step S540: if the current time is not in the verification-free time period, obtaining verification information, verifying the verification information, and if the verification is successful, executing unlocking operation.

As another mode, if the verification fails, prompting to input the verification information again, and adding one to the verification times; if the verification times are larger than the preset verification error early warning times, generating an alarm instruction; generating an alarm log according to the alarm instruction; and sending the alarm log to the target terminal equipment.

Furthermore, preset verification time can be set, if the user conducts identity verification for multiple times within the preset verification time and the multiple times of verification fails, an alarm instruction is generated, an alarm log is generated according to the alarm instruction, and the alarm log is sent to the target terminal device through wireless communication technologies such as WIFI and Bluetooth.

Optionally, when the intelligent lock detects that the current time is not in the current verification-free time period, the identity information of the user is obtained, and whether to unlock the lock is determined by performing identity verification on the user, wherein the identity verification can be performed through fingerprint, password, face recognition verification and other modes. Illustratively, if a user inputs authentication information, such as a fingerprint, a password or face authentication information, the intelligent lock is triggered to authenticate the user, and if the user successfully authenticates within a preset authentication time, the intelligent lock executes an unlocking instruction; if the user conducts identity verification for multiple times within the preset identity verification time and the verification times are larger than the preset verification error early warning times, the intelligent lock sends an instruction with information of multiple identity verification errors to the target terminal device, light can be sent out through the indicating lamp to prompt the user, the user can be prompted through voice, for example, the preset verification time is 10s, the preset verification error times are 3 times, and if the user conducts identity verification for 3 times within 10s and all the verification errors exist, the intelligent lock sends the instruction with the information of 3 identity verification errors to the target terminal device.

Optionally, when the intelligent lock is connected with the target terminal device through wireless communication technologies such as WIFI and bluetooth, the intelligent lock may send an alarm log to the target terminal device, and instruct the target terminal device to store and display the alarm log. Specifically, the intelligent lock receives an alarm log request instruction sent by the target terminal device, searches for the latest stored alarm log after receiving the request instruction, then sends the log to the target terminal device, and instructs the target terminal device to display the alarm log.

In addition, when the smart lock is connected with the server, the smart lock can send the log information to the target terminal device. When a new alarm log is generated, the intelligent lock can send the newly generated alarm log to the server, the server can push the alarm log to the target terminal device through wireless communication technologies such as WIFI and Bluetooth after successfully receiving the alarm log, and the target terminal device can store and display the alarm log after receiving the push of the alarm log. According to the scheme, the intelligent lock can flexibly remind according to the specific attention position of the user, namely if the user uses the target terminal equipment, the target terminal equipment is reminded, if the user does not use the target terminal equipment, the intelligent lock is reminded, the situation that the intelligent lock cannot timely feed back alarm information is avoided, and the safety is improved.

According to the method for controlling the intelligent lock, whether unlocking request operation is triggered or not is detected, if unlocking request operation is detected, whether the current time is in a verification-free time period or not is detected, if the current time is in the verification-free time period, unlocking operation is executed, if the current time is not in the verification-free time period, verification information is obtained, verification is carried out on the verification information, and if verification is successful, unlocking operation is executed. By setting the verification-free unlocking mode, all users can be guaranteed to perform verification-free unlocking operation within a verification-free time period, and user experience is improved.
