Abstract
The present invention relates to the field of smart lock communication technology, specifically to a BLE-based automatic unlocking method for a smart lock. By arranging a BLE module and configuring its electronic fence within the smart lock, the present invention establishes communication linkage with a mobile phone operating system and an APP. This enables the detection of a mobile phone entering the electronic fence as a “Returning Home” state, thereby notifying the mobile phone APP to perform unlocking. Furthermore, by utilizing the BLE module to determine the relative distance between the mobile phone and the smart lock, the present invention achieves proximity-based automatic unlocking and the function of determining whether a user is inside or outside the door.
Claims6
A BLE-based automatic unlocking method for a smart lock, comprising the following steps:
- S1, arranging a single-mode BLE chip and a Wi-Fi+BLE dual-mode chip in the smart lock;
- S2, setting an electronic fence range for the single-mode BLE chip;
- S3, when a mobile phone enters the electronic fence range, activating a mobile phone APP by a mobile phone operating system;
- S4, the mobile phone APP scanning for the single-mode BLE chip and the Wi-Fi+BLE dual-mode chip via the mobile phone operating system;
- S5, the single-mode BLE chip activating the Wi-Fi+BLE dual-mode chip, and after connecting with the mobile phone operating system, activating the mobile phone APP;
- S6, the Wi-Fi+BLE dual-mode chip activating, and after connecting with the mobile phone operating system, activating the mobile phone APP;
- S7, the mobile phone APP instructing the Wi-Fi+BLE dual-mode chip to unlock the door, and the Wi-Fi+BLE dual-mode chip notifying the mobile phone APP after the door is successfully unlocked;
- S8, the mobile phone APP entering a dormant state until leaving the electronic fence range of the single-mode BLE chip again;
- and
- S9, when the mobile phone leaves the electronic fence range of the single-mode BLE chip, the mobile phone operating system notifying the mobile phone APP.
