Detailed ways

The technical solution in the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The following describes the composition of the system in conjunction with Figure 1: the system consists of an infrared sensor, a set-top box, a remote server, a TV, and other optional mobile communication devices (such as mobile phones, tablet computers, etc.). The functions of each part are as follows:

The infrared sensor is used to sense the infrared radiation of the object to monitor the internal environment of the home and send the monitoring signal to the set-top box;

The set-top box is used to receive the monitoring signal sent by the infrared sensor, and judge and process the monitoring signal. When it is judged that there is a robbery in the monitoring signal, the corresponding alarm device is used to remind the user that there is a danger in the home environment;

The alarm device is used to receive danger information from the top box and remind the user that there is a danger in the home environment.

The system also includes: a remote server, used for storing the monitoring signals received in the set-top box, for users to query historical records, or for TV to play.

The alarm device here may be an alarm bell prompting device, which is used to respond to danger information and trigger an alarm bell to alert the user of the danger. The alarm device here may be a mobile terminal, which is used to receive danger information and remind the user of the danger. The mobile terminal here is a mobile phone or a tablet computer.

The alarm device here is a display terminal, which is used to receive danger information and provide the user with danger information.

It should be noted that, when the user is at home or resting at night, the set-top box is set to be monitored and turned on through the TV. The infrared sensor monitors the home environment and sends the monitoring information to the set-top box. The STB sends the heartbeat signal to a remote server. The remote server stores the heartbeat. The set-top box judges the detection information. If the set-top box finds that there is a heat source reaction with human characteristics within the monitoring range through the information sent by the infrared sensor, it will make a judgment of "theft has occurred", send an alarm signal, and send an alarm message to the mobile communication terminal at the same time; If the set-top box finds a high heat reaction within the monitoring range through the information sent by the infrared sensor, it will make a judgment of "fire" and send out an alarm signal, and at the same time send an alarm message to the mobile communication terminal. The user can choose to view the monitoring history information through the TV. At this time, the TV transmits the user's request to the set-top box, and the set-top box obtains the historical record of the detection signal from the remote server. After processing, it converts it into a TV signal and outputs it for the user to view. When the user does not need to monitor, the set-top box is set to be monitored and closed through the TV, and the system stops working.

Specifically, Fig. 2 shows the flowchart of the infrared monitoring and alarm method based on the set-top box in the embodiment of the present invention, including the following steps:

start;

S201: Sensing the indoor environment based on the infrared receiver;

The infrared receiver here can be installed in every corner of the room or on doors and windows, etc., and the user senses the heat source of the indoor environment, which is generally turned on when the user goes out or sleeps, or in a specific environment.

S202: Whether it is sensed that the heat source signal exists, if so, proceed to S203, otherwise proceed to S201;

S203: Send the heat source signal to the set-top box device;

S204: Determine whether there is a danger based on the heat source signal, if there is a danger, go to S205, otherwise continue to S201;

The judgment of heat source signals here is generally to identify human characteristics or biological characteristics that endanger human safety, and to judge and identify these heat source signals to remind users that there is a safety hazard in the indoor environment.

S205: Trigger the danger signal to the corresponding alarm device;

The alarm device here may be an alarm bell prompting device, which is used to respond to danger information and trigger an alarm bell to alert the user of the danger. The alarm device here may be a mobile terminal, which is used to receive danger information and remind the user of the danger. The mobile terminal here is a mobile phone or a tablet computer. The alarm device here is a display terminal, which is used to receive danger information and provide the user with danger information.

S206: storing the heat source signal to a remote server;

S207: Receive a call request from a user;

S208: Display the environment of the heat source signal to the user for viewing;

When the user needs to call the remote server, the remote server can send the stored relevant information to the user for viewing, which can be done through a TV or a display terminal.

Finish.

Home users can simply add infrared sensors to realize home security monitoring functions through set-top boxes and ordinary household TVs at home, without additional monitoring signal processing and output equipment, which is lower in cost and more convenient to install than existing technical solutions. The set-top box is used to process and judge the monitoring information obtained by the infrared sensor, and when a safety problem occurs, an alarm message can be sent to the user in time, so that the user can respond in time.
