Abstract
A door lock control device comprises: a door lock interface for communicating with a door lock; an imaging device; a controller for processing images to be acquired through the imaging device; and a storage medium. The controller determines each of first and second objects in the images as being either authorized or unauthorized depending on whether each of the first and second objects matches authentication data read from the storage medium, and controls the door lock through a door lock interface by referring to a distance between the first and second objects determined from the images when the first object is determined as being authorized and the second object is determined as being unauthorized.

A door lock control apparatus associated with a door lock, the apparatus comprising:
- a door lock interface configured to communicate with the door lock;
- an imaging device;
- a controller configured to process images acquired through the imaging device;
- and
- a storage medium,
- wherein the controller is configured to determine each of a first object and a second object as being one of an authorized person and an unauthorized person depending on whether each of the first object and the second object detected from the images matches authentication data read from the storage medium;
- and
- upon determination of the first object being an authorized person and upon determination of the second object being an unauthorized person, the controller is configured to control the door lock through the door lock interface to perform a first action upon the second object being determined to be outside a preset coverage and control the door lock through the door lock interface to perform a second action upon the second object being determined to be within the preset coverage.
A method of controlling a door lock, comprising:
- acquiring images using an imaging device;
- detecting a first object and a second object in the images;
- determining each of the first object and the second object as being one of an authorized person and an unauthorized person depending on whether each of the first object and the second object matches preset authentication data;
- and
- controlling the door lock so that as the first object is determined to be an authorized person and the second object is determined to be an unauthorized person, upon the second object being determined to be outside a preset coverage, a first action is performed, and upon the second object being determined to be within the preset coverage, a second action is performed.
