Abstract

A method for transmitting an alert message is disclosed. The method may include obtaining physical characteristic data of a target object on a target device, and transmitting a first alert message to a first terminal, if the obtained physical characteristic data of the target object does not match pre-stored physical characteristic data of a target user.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for transmitting an alert message, comprising:
obtaining physical characteristic data of a target object on a target device; and
transmitting a first alert message to a first terminal, if the obtained physical characteristic data of the target object does not match pre-stored physical characteristic data of a target user,
wherein transmitting the first alert message to the first terminal, if the obtained physical characteristic data of the target object does not match the pre-stored physical characteristic data of the target user includes:
determining a physical characteristic data range corresponding to the pre-stored physical characteristic data of the target user, and
transmitting the first alert message to the first terminal, if the physical characteristic data of the target object is not within the physical characteristic data range;

the method further comprising:
obtaining motion data of the target user within a preset time period;
adjusting the physical characteristic data range based on the motion data; and
transmitting the first alert message to the first terminal, if the physical characteristic data of the target object is not within the adjusted physical characteristic data range.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the physical characteristic data of the target object on the target device comprises:
detecting a pressure, a contact area, and a temperature of the target object; and
if the pressure, the contact area, and the temperature of the target object meet a preset physical characteristic condition, determining the target object to be a person and obtaining the physical characteristic data of the target object.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting a preset control command to a controlled device.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein transmitting the preset control command to the controlled device comprises:
transmitting the preset control command to the controlled device upon receiving an alarm confirmation message transmitted by the first terminal.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein transmitting the preset control command to the controlled device comprises:
transmitting a video recording command to a monitor device.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein transmitting the preset control command to the controlled device comprises:
transmitting a lock command to a security door and/or a security window.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting a second alert message to a server of a local security network upon receiving an alarm confirmation message transmitted by the first terminal.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining terminal identifications of terminals currently accessing a local area network; transmitting the first alert message to the first terminal, if the obtained terminal identifications do not contain a terminal identification of the first terminal, and
transmitting the first alert message to a preset second terminal, if the obtained terminal identifications contain a terminal identification of the first terminal and the second terminal is in an active state.

9. A device for transmitting an alert message, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory for storing processor-executable instructions,
wherein the processor is configured to:
obtain physical characteristic data of a target object on a target device; and
transmit a first alert message to a first terminal, if the obtained physical characteristic data of the target object does not match pre-stored physical characteristic data of a target user,
wherein in transmitting the first alert message to the first terminal, if the obtained physical characteristic data of the target object does not match the pre-stored physical characteristic data of the target user, the processor is further configured to:
determine a physical characteristic data range corresponding to the pre-stored physical characteristic data of the target user, and
transmit the first alert message to the first terminal, if the physical characteristic data of the target object is not within the physical characteristic data range;

wherein the processor is further configured to:
obtain motion data of the target user within a preset time period;
adjust the physical characteristic data range based on the motion data; and
transmit the first alert message to the first terminal, if the physical characteristic data of the target object is not within the adjusted physical characteristic data range.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
detect a pressure, a contact area, and a temperature of the target object; and
if the pressure, the contact area, and the temperature of the target object meet a preset physical characteristic condition, determine the target object to be a person and obtain the physical characteristic data of the target object.

11. The device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
transmit a preset control command to a controlled device.

12. The device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to transmit the preset control command to the controlled device upon receiving an alarm confirmation message transmitted by the first terminal.

13. The device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to transmit a video recording command to a monitor device.

14. The device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to transmit a lock command to a security door and/or a security window.

15. The device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
transmit a second alert message to a server of a local security network upon receiving an alarm confirmation message transmitted by the first terminal.

16. The device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
obtain terminal identifications of terminals currently accessing a local area network;
transmit the first alert message to the first terminal, if the obtained terminal identifications do not contain a terminal identification of the first terminal; and
transmit the first alert message to a preset second terminal, if the obtained terminal identifications contain a terminal identification of the first terminal and the second terminal is in an active state.
