The present invention relates to a treatment method for doorbell communication, and more particularly to a doorbell communication method of employing audio streaming without video streaming for acquaintance.
Referring to
OmniVision Technologies has a doorbell product which can send the face image of the user A directly to a smart phone of the person of the home through a Wi-Fi network in the home, so that the person of the home can sec the user A directly through the smart phone. But this kind of video streaming communication employs too much data bandwidth. If the user A is an acquaintance, then this kind of video streaming communication is unnecessary.
The object of the present invention is to provide a treatment method for doorbell communication, in order to save the data bandwidth of video streaming communication.
The structure of the doorbell communication according to the sent invention comprises a doorbell, a camera and a microphone, connected with a smart phone and a server of a home by a network.
When a user pushes the doorbell, the camera captures a face image of the user for sending through the network to the server for conducting a face identifying operation. If the face identifying operation is not successful, then a person of the home uses the smart phone for conducting audio and video streaming communication with the user, and decide whether to open door or not, generally not open the door, and stop the audio and video streaming communication.
If the face identifying operation is successful, then form a face template of the user and compare with face templates of acquaintances in the server. If there is no match, then the person of the home conducts audio and video streaming communication with the user by thee smart phone.
As the audio and video streaming communication is ended, prompt the person of the home whether to store the face template of the user in the server or not, if the person of the home agrees, then prompt the person of the home to input personal data of the user, and the face template and the personal data of the user are stored in the server; if the person of the home disagrees to store the face template of the user, then go for ending.
If a face template in the server matches with the face template of the user, then a personal data of the matched face template in the server is shown on the screen of the smart phone, the person of the home uses the smart phone for conducting audio streaming communication with the user, without video streaming communication.
Face templates of acquaintances in the server can be obtained by other ways, and then input related personal data, conduct the face identifying operation. If the face identifying operation is successful, then the face template and the personal data are stored in the server.

2. Normalization: to adjust the position and magnitude of the face
3. Capture characteristics of the face
4. Form a face template, as shown in
If the face identifying operation is successful, then the face template of the user A is stored in a data base of the server 6.

In step 4, judge if the face identifying operation is successful? if it is successful, then form the face template of the user B (step 7) and compare with the face templates in the server 6 (step 8). If there is no match, then go to step 9 for the person of the home to conduct audio and video streaming communication with the user B by, the smart phone 5. In step 10, as the audio and video streaming communication is ended, prompt the person of the home whether to store the face template of the user B in the server 6 or not (step 11), if the person of the home agrees, then prompt the person of the home to input personal data of the user B (step 12), and the face template and the personal data of the user B are stored in data base of the server 6 (step 13), go to step 17 for ending. If the person of the home disagrees to store the face template of the user B, then go to step 17 for ending.
In step 8, if a face template in the data base matches with the face template of the user B, then the personal data of the matched face template in the data base are shown on the screen of the smart phone 5 (step 14), the person of the home uses the smart phone 5 for conducting audio streaming communication with the user B (step 15), without video streaming communication. As the audio streaming communication is ended (step 16), go to step 17 for ending.
The scope of the present invention depends upon the following claims, and is not limited by the above embodiments.
