The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different features of the invention. To simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the components and arrangements of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. Furthermore, the present invention may repeat reference numerals and/or letters in the various examples, such repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself dictate a relationship between the various embodiments and/or configurations discussed. In addition, the present invention provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but one of ordinary skill in the art may recognize applications of other processes and/or uses of other materials.

The door body is used for protecting the household safety. Therefore, the door body is required to be manufactured in high demand. The door body with good quality can not be pried by common hand tools such as chisels, screwdrivers and crowbars or portable electric tools such as electric hand drills in a short time. Therefore, in the door body structure, the quality requirements of the door panel and the door lock are high.

The door panel requires sufficient rigidity to prevent the door panel from being damaged. Whereas conventional door panels are made of metallic and/or non-metallic materials. The door plate metal material comprises iron, copper, stainless steel and aluminum alloy, and the non-metal material comprises glass and wood. The metal material and the nonmetal material can be matched for use, so that the rigidity of the door plate is improved, and the attractiveness of the door body can be improved.

The door lock is required not to be easily pried open. The traditional mechanical door lock adopts an iron or copper lock head structure, is easy to rust and is easy to damage, thereby having potential safety hazard. Common door locks use keys and/or touch keys for password. When the key is lost or the password is forgotten, the unlocking cannot be easily performed.

The touch panel of the touch electronic door lock in the related art is disposed on an outer surface of the door panel. The user directly performs touch operation on the touch panel. However, traces on the touch panel are easily observed, and thus there is a safety risk.

In addition, when the user's finger is stained with oil stain/sweat/water, the touch panel may not recognize the touch operation. The user needs to wipe or replace the finger with another finger to perform the touch operation again.

In the aspect of maintaining the door body, because touch panel connects the power, the temperature of door plant surface is higher than the air temperature of door plant's periphery, and the deposition of dust is more easy. Therefore, the user needs to clean the surface of the touch panel regularly to avoid affecting the use.

In view of the above, referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the invention provides a touchelectronic door lock 10. The touchelectronic door lock 10 may be configured to be mounted on thedoor body 100. The touchelectronic door lock 10 includes atouch panel 12 and aprocessor 14. Thetouch panel 12 is hidden inside thedoor body 100. Thetouch panel 12 is used for receiving a touch operation of a user and generating a touch signal. Theprocessor 14 is electrically connected to thetouch panel 12. Theprocessor 14 is configured to process the touch signal and determine whether the user is an authorized user. When theprocessor 14 judges that the user is an authorized user, thedoor body 100 is controlled to be unlocked.

It can be understood that thetouch panel 12 according to the embodiment of the present invention is hidden inside thedoor 100. That is, thetouch panel 12 is sandwiched inside thedoor 100. Thus, since thetouch panel 12 is generally set by an authorized user or the authorized user is already informed of the position of the touch panel 12 (e.g., through a password of the specification), the authorized user can quickly find the position of thetouch panel 12, while an unauthorized user cannot find the position of thetouch panel 12, and cannot input a fraudulent touch operation. Therefore, the touchelectronic door lock 10 adds a safety barrier during touch operation, thereby increasing safety.

Thetouch panel 12 is embedded in thedoor 100. Since the interior of thedoor body 100 is hermetically sealed, thetouch panel 14 can be well protected and prevented from being damaged by external impact. Meanwhile, since the oil stain/sweat/water is isolated by thedoor body 100, the touch operation does not damage theinner touch panel 12.

The embodiment of the invention also provides a door. The door includes adoor body 100 and a touchelectronic door lock 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 2, the door control method according to the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to the touchelectronic door lock 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, and includes the following steps:

s12: receiving a touch operation of a user and generating a touch signal through thetouch panel 12 hidden in thedoor body 100;

s14: theprocessor 14 electrically connected to thetouch panel 12 processes the touch signal to determine whether the user is an authorized user, and controls thedoor body 100 to unlock when the user is an authorized user.

Specifically, the user performs a touch operation on thetouch panel 12. Thetouch panel 12 recognizes a touch operation and converts into a touch signal. Theprocessor 14 processes the touch signal and determines whether the user is an authorized user. When the user is an authorized user, theprocessor 14 controls thedoor body 100 to be unlocked. When the user is an unauthorized user, theprocessor 14 does not control thedoor body 100 to be unlocked.

In some embodiments, the touchelectronic door lock 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention may be applied to thedoor body 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. That is, the door control method according to the embodiment of the present invention may be applied to thedoor 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

The door may be installed at an entrance of a residential house, and may also be installed at an entrance of a commercial store or an office.

In some embodiments, thedoor 100 includes adoor frame 20, adoor panel 30 movably connected to thedoor frame 20, and adoor lock member 40. Thelatch assembly 40 includes alatch 42 and akeyway 22. Thelatch 42 is provided on thedoor panel 30 and the lockinggroove 22 is provided on thedoorframe 20.

It will be appreciated that thelatch 42 engages thekeyway 22 to lock thedoor panel 30 to thedoorframe 20.

Specifically, thelatch 42 extends outward and is caught by thelock groove 22, which indicates that thedoor 100 is locked, and thedoor 100 cannot be opened. Thelatch 42 is retracted away from thelatch slot 22, indicating that thedoor 100 is unlocked and thedoor 100 can be opened.

Of course, thelatch member 40 may take other suitable forms and is not limited to the embodiments discussed above. For example, thedoor locking member 40 may be a magnetic lock, that is, thedoor 30 has a first magnetic member, and thedoor frame 20 has a second magnetic member, and when the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member attract each other, thedoor 100 is locked; when the magnetism of at least one of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member disappears, thedoor body 100 is unlocked.

Further, thedoor body 100 may not include thedoor frame 20, and the wall around thedoor body 100 may be directly used as a carrier of thedoor lock member 40.

Further, thedoor 100 itself may be used to lock and unlock the door without including thedoor lock member 40. For example, thedoor 100 may be a door body (e.g., a glass door) that can slide, and when thedoor 100 slides to cover the door opening completely, it indicates that thedoor 100 is locked, and people outside thedoor 100 cannot enter; when thedoor body 100 slides to at least partially expose the door opening, it indicates that thedoor body 100 is unlocked, and a person outside thedoor body 100 can enter through the door opening.

In some embodiments, thedoor lock member 40 may be made of a stainless steel material. Thus, thedoor lock member 40 has sufficient rigidity and rust prevention function, is not broken or pried, and is not easily rusted.

Of course, in other embodiments, other materials may be used as desired.

In some embodiments, thedoor lock component 40 also includes a door handle. Depression of the door handle actuates the structure within thelatch assembly 40 to retract thelatch 42 away from thekeyway 22, thereby unlocking the lock.

In some embodiments, thedoor lock assembly 40 further includes a key hole that can be opened with a key. Of course, thedoor lock member 40 may be automatically unlocked. When theprocessor 14 determines that the user is an authorized user, theprocessor 14 controls thedoor lock assembly 40 to unlock. I.e., activates the structure within thelatch assembly 40, thelatch 42 automatically retracts away from thekeyway 22, thereby unlocking the lock.

For thedoor body 100 provided by the embodiment of the invention, a user can freely select an unlocking mode: the lock can be unlocked by a key directly or by touch operation on thetouch panel 12.

In certain embodiments, thedoor panel 30 includes aninner layer 32 facing indoors and anouter layer 34 facing outdoors. A receivinggroove 36 is formed between theinner layer 32 and theouter layer 34, and thetouch panel 12 is disposed in the receivinggroove 36.

Existing door panels are typically of assembled construction. The composite assembly comprises seamless assembly and seam assembly. The slot structure may form an interior space to mount the device. Thedoor panel 30 according to the embodiment of the present invention receives thetouch panel 12 by forming the receivinggroove 36 between theinner layer 32 and theouter layer 34.

Referring to fig. 3, a receivinggroove 36 is formed in each of a portion of theinner layer 32 and theouter layer 34. It will be appreciated that the inner andouter layers 32, 34 respectively define recesses that merge together to form the receivingcavity 36.

In other embodiments, the receivinggroove 36 may be provided on theouter layer 34 or theinner layer 32.

Thus, thetouch panel 12 can be compactly housed in thedoor panel 30, and no gap is generated in thedoor panel 30.

In certain embodiments, the thickness of theouter layer 34 may be less than the thickness of theinner layer 32. The strength of the material of theinner layer 32 is greater than the strength of the material of theouter layer 34. Theinner layer 32 serves as a shield and theouter layer 34 serves as a shield.

Referring to fig. 3, in some embodiments, thetouch panel 12 is attached to the inner surface of theouter layer 34 and separated from theinner layer 32 by a gap. It is understood that two opposite sides of thetouch panel 12 may also be attached to theouter layer 34 and theinner layer 32 at the same time to increase the strength of thedoor 30 at the position of thetouch panel 12.

Further, thetouch panel 12 is connected to theprocessor 14 through aconnection line 16. Thetouch panel 12 may be placed at a location remote from theprocessor 14 to avoid others from knowing the location of thetouch panel 12 by ascertaining the location of theprocessor 14. In particular, when theinner layer 32 and theouter layer 34 are both made of transparent materials (such as glass), thetouch panel 12 itself is also transparent, so that the touch panel can be hidden in thedoor body 100 without being perceived, theprocessor 14 can be disposed in theopaque doorframe 20, and thetouch panel 12 is connected to theprocessor 14 through the transparent connectingline 16.

In some embodiments, theinner layer 32 and theouter layer 34 are both made of transparent materials, and thetouch panel 12 is also made of transparent materials. .

It will be appreciated that theinner layer 32 and theouter layer 34 are made of the same material, which can make thedoor body 100 aesthetically pleasing and hide thetouch panel 12.

Generally, thedoor panel 30 may be made of a metallic and/or non-metallic material.Common door panels 30 include metal materials including iron, copper, stainless steel and aluminum alloys, and non-metal materials including glass and wood. The metal material and the nonmetal material can be matched for use, so that the attractiveness of thedoor body 100 is improved.

In some embodiments of thedoor panel 30, theouter layer 34 may also be covered by a cover. The cover may be made of a thin layer of wood material or a wood-grain sticker.

The outer surface of thedoor panel 30 is prone to dust accumulation. By covering the cover with theouter layer 34, the cover may isolate dust and oil/sweat/water from the user's hand, thereby further protecting the structure inside thedoor panel 30. The influence of thetouch panel 12 on the recognition of the touch operation can be reduced by selecting a thin wood material or a wood-grain sticker or the like. Furthermore, the cover is subjected to waterproof treatment, so that the service life of the cover can be further prolonged.

In some embodiments, thetouch panel 12 comprises a capacitive touch screen. Correspondingly, theouter layer 34 may be a non-conductive material in order to accommodate the operation of the capacitive touch screen.

It is understood that thetouch panel 12 in the related art employs a capacitive touch screen. The working principle of the capacitive touch screen is as follows: a capacitive touch screen has a plurality of electrodes. When touching the screen, theprocessor 14 calculates the position of the touch point accurately according to the position of the coupling capacitance, because the coupling capacitance is formed between the human finger and the electrode.

Capacitive touch screens only require touch, and do not require pressure to generate a signal. Therefore, a signal can be generated by a user performing a touch operation on thetouch panel 12.

The capacitance change of the capacitive touch screen is sensitive and is easily influenced by the conductor. For example, when an external live conductor is close to the capacitive touch screen and the conductor and the inner conductive layer couple a capacitance with a sufficient capacitance value, the flowing current is sufficient to cause the malfunction of the capacitive touch screen.

Therefore, to prevent malfunction, the material of theouter layer 34 needs to be a non-conductive material.

In certain embodiments, the non-conductive material comprises wood.

It is understood that the non-conductive material may be glass, wood. Wood is used as acommon door body 100 material, such as pear wood, peach wood, and pine wood. The wood processing technology is mature, and a user can select proper wood to manufacture thedoor body 100 according to requirements. In addition, thedoor panel 30 may be engraved or painted for the sake of aesthetic appearance of thedoor body 100.

When the material of theouter layer 34 is wood, the material of theinner layer 32 can be wood correspondingly. In other embodiments, the non-conductive material is not limited to the materials provided in the above embodiments, and manufacturers may use suitable non-conductive materials according to actual production conditions.

In some embodiments,touch panel 12 comprises a flexible touch screen.

It can be understood that the flexible touch screen is small in size, light and thin and easy and convenient to install. Moreover, thetouch panel 12 needs to be vertically disposed inside thedoor panel 30, so the flexible touch screen also needs to be vertically disposed. The flexible touch screen can be spliced at will and is not controlled by the direction, so that the vertical arrangement has no influence on the work of the flexible touch screen.

In addition, the flexible touch screen has good waterproof performance and impact resistance and long service life.

In some embodiments, the touch sensitiveelectronic door lock 10 includes an alarm electrically connected to theprocessor 14. Theprocessor 14 is used to control the alarm to alarm if the user is not an authorized user.

It will be appreciated that when the alarm signal is identified by theprocessor 14, the alarm unit immediately sends the transmitted alarm signal to the security and proximity of the residential area, allowing security or police personnel to rescue the user. Specifically, when the user is forced to unlock the lock, a specific alarm character or an alarm gesture may be input at thetouch panel 12. When theprocessor 14 judges the alarm information, theprocessor 14 controls the alarm to alarm. The alarm can also be connected with a dialing device at a mobile terminal, such as a public telephone for residential security. The alarm reminds the security house user of danger and need rescue. Therefore, the security guard can rescue the user alone or by looking for people.

In some embodiments, theprocessor 14 may store a preset first touch operation. Theprocessor 14 is configured to determine whether the touch operation matches the preset first touch operation and determine that the user is an authorized user when the touch operation matches the preset first touch operation.

It is understood that the first touch operation preset by the user includes: the touch position, the touch track, the preset touch times and/or the preset touch strength. The preset first touch operation may be two parameters, such as a touch position and a touch frequency, or a touch position and a touch strength. The preset first touch operation may also be a preset operation in which three or more parameters are preset at the same time to form preset touch information.

The preset first touch operation may be set by the user, or may be an initial first touch operation provided by the manufacturer.

Specifically, in some examples, the preset first touch operation may be: "double click + up slide + character". Indicating that under normal circumstances, when the user enters the first action,processor 14 may determine that the user is an authorized user.

That is, under normal conditions, the user must perform an operation according to the preset touch information, first "double-click" and then "stroke up", which means to wake up thetouch panel 12 and then input the correct character, so as to achieve unlocking.

In other embodiments, when the touch operation of the user includes both the first touch operation and the redundant touch operation, theprocessor 14 controls thedoor body 100 to unlock.

That is, all the input information of the user simultaneously includes valid information and redundant information, and as long as the valid information matches the preset unlocking information, the unlocking can be performed regardless of the change of the length, position and occurrence time of the redundant information.

It can be appreciated that adding redundant touch operations when inputting characters increases the complexity of inputting characters. The user can also change the redundant touch operation added each time, so that an unauthorized user cannot imitate the handwriting of an authorized user and cannot steal the unlocking password.

In some embodiments, the redundant touch operation and the first touch operation may be continuous touch operations. For example, the touch trajectory is a continuous circle with equal radius.

In other embodiments, the redundant touch operation and the first touch operation may be non-consecutive touch operations. For example, a specific character, such as "home", is set as the unlock password. The user adds redundant touch operations, such as "go" in "go home", when inputting characters. Theprocessor 14 determines that the touch operation includes valid information, i.e. determines that the user is authorized.

When the user has completed all the operations of the preset first touch operation, a repeat confirmation operation may be performed. For example, the same touch operation can be performed for the second time to ensure the setting accuracy.

In some embodiments, when the touch operation of the user is a second touch operation different from the first touch operation, theprocessor 14 controls thedoor body 100 to unlock and simultaneously issues an alarm message.

It will be appreciated that the user presets the second touch operation to trigger an alarm operation. Specifically, in some embodiments, the preset second touch operation may be: "double click + W + character". Indicating that in a forced situation, the user is forced to unlock and needs to alarm in time.

The preset information of the general existing digital press type door lock comprises a preset password, and the preset information of the existing fingerprint type door lock comprises prestored fingerprint information. Theprocessor 14 recognizes the preset information and can unlock the lock. When theprocessor 14 determines that the information is not the preset information, the unlocking cannot be performed, and thus the alarm condition in the emergency cannot be satisfied.

The touchelectronic door lock 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention can trigger an alarm operation by performing a second touch operation on thetouch panel 12, so as to temporarily protect the personal safety of the user.

In some embodiments, thetouch panel 12 includes anactive input area 122 and aninactive input area 124. Theprocessor 14 recognizes the touch operation of theactive input area 122 and ignores the touch operation of theinactive input area 124.

It is understood that the user can freely set theactive input area 122 on thetouch panel 12. Theprocessor 14 recognizes a touch operation of theactive input area 122 and ignores a touch operation outside theinactive input area 124.

Theprocessor 14 controls thedoor lock unit 40 to unlock only if the user performs a touch operation on theactive input area 122 and the touch operation is consistent with a preset first touch operation. The user performs a touch operation in theinactive input region 124, and theprocessor 14 does not control thedoor lock part 40 to be unlocked even if the touch operation coincides with the preset first touch operation. Thus, the accuracy of the touch operation position is ensured.

In some embodiments, the user makes a touch operation at the boundary of theactive input area 122 and theinactive input area 124. Referring to fig. 4, in the area of thetouch panel 12, the shaded portion represents theactive input area 122, and the blank portion represents theinactive input area 124. Such as: the user enters the "W" character. As shown in fig. 4, the "W" character spans both theactive input area 122 and theinactive input area 124, and theprocessor 14 can only recognize a portion of the "W" character on theactive input area 122. Therefore, the touch operation is inconsistent with the preset first touch operation, and it cannot be determined that the user is an authorized user, and thedoor body 100 cannot be unlocked.

In addition, the user may also have flexibility in setting theactivity input area 122, such as timing changes to the location or size of theactivity input area 122.

Thus, the touchelectronic door lock 10 provided by the embodiment of the invention further improves the unlocking difficulty and improves the safety.
