Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily carry out the present invention. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. In order to clearly illustrate the present invention, parts not related to the description are omitted, and similar parts are denoted by like reference characters throughout the specification.

It is to be understood that when an element is referred to as being "connected" or "connected" to another element, it may be directly connected or connected to the other element, but it should be understood that there may be other elements in between do. On the other hand, when an element is referred to as being "directly connected" or "directly connected" to another element, it should be understood that there are no other elements in between.

Hereinafter, a door lock control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The door lock control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention shown in Fig. 1 includes a wearable portion 10, a user terminal 20 communicating with the wearable portion 10, a lock communicating with the user terminal 20, And a locking unit 40 connected to the control unit 30 and the lock control unit 30.

The wearable portion 10 may be a smart watch as a portable device that can be worn on the user's body such as a wrist of a user.

The wearable unit 10 is paired with the user terminal 20 by blending with the user terminal 20 and outputs a lock related command to the user terminal 20 in the paired state do.

The user terminal 20 is a terminal capable of communicating with the wearable unit 10, such as a smart phone.

Thus, when a lock related command is transmitted from the wearable unit 10, the user terminal 20 determines whether the lock related command is a lock command or an unlock command.

Then, the determined command is transmitted to the lock control unit 30 in the pairing state.

The lock control unit 30 controls the operation of the lock unit 40 to control the lock unit 40 to the locked state or the open state.

The lock control unit 30 performs local communication such as Bluetooth communication with the user terminal 20.

Accordingly, the lock control unit 30 outputs a control signal corresponding to the command transmitted to the lock unit 40 in response to the command transmitted from the user terminal 20, thereby controlling the door lock of the lock unit 40 to be locked or unlocked.

The lock control unit 30 may be formed of an arduino.

The locking part 40 is an electronic locking device composed of a solenoid valve or the like and is in a locked state or an open state according to the state of a control signal applied from the lock control part 30 as described above.

Next, the operation of the door lock control apparatus having such a structure will be described with reference to Fig.

First, the wearable unit 10 and the user terminal 10 are paired (S11), and the user terminal 20 and the lock control unit 30 are paired (S12).

Such a pairing operation can be performed when the user operates the start switch or the like for performing the door lock control operation using the wearable portion 10. [

These pairings may be performed using Bluetooth, and the passwords for pairing may all be the same.

In this pairing state, when the user inputs a lock related command such as a lock command or an unlock command (S13) using the state of the signal input through the user selection switch or the like, the wearable unit 10 And transmits the inputted lock related command to the user terminal 20 (S13).

For example, the wearable portion 10 is provided with a lock command switch and an unlock command switch. As each corresponding switch is operated, a lock command or an unlock command is inputted to the wearable portion 10 corresponding thereto.
