Abstract

An evacuation controller, an evacuation control system, and a mobile communication terminal. The evacuation controller includes: a local control unit capable of storing or acquiring evacuation path information to or from a cloud via a mobile communication terminal, wherein the evacuation path information is configured at least based on a layout of a building and a location of a danger occurred in the building. According to the evacuation controller and the evacuation control system, exchange of evacuation path information between the local control unit and a remote provider service system is realized through exchange between the mobile communication terminal and the cloud; or by configuring evacuation path information directly in the local control unit, the local control unit can clearly and timely learn about the local evacuation path information and can evacuate people based on the local evacuation path information.

Claims (24)

1. An evacuation control system comprising:

a local control unit configured for storing or acquiring evacuation path information to or from a cloud via a mobile communication terminal, wherein the evacuation path information is configured at least based on a layout of a building and a location of a danger occurred in the building.

2. The evacuation control system according to claim 1 , wherein the local control unit comprises a wireless communication module and stores or acquires evacuation path information to or from the mobile communication terminal through the wireless communication module.

3. The evacuation control system according to claim 2 , wherein communication of the wireless communication module is encrypted.

4. The evacuation control system according to claim 2 , wherein the danger occurred in the building is fire.

5. The evacuation control system according to claim 2 , wherein the wireless communication module and the mobile communication terminal establish a connection after being verified via a token algorithm.

6. The evacuation control system according to claim 2 , wherein the evacuation path information exchanged between the cloud, the mobile communication terminal and the local control unit is encrypted.

7. An evacuation control system comprising:

a cloud configured to upload and download configured evacuation path information;

a mobile communication terminal configured to upload or download the evacuation path information to or from the cloud; and

a local control unit configured to store or acquire the evacuation path information to or from the mobile communication terminal;

wherein the evacuation path information is configured at least based on a layout of a building and a location of a danger occurred in the building.

8. The evacuation control system according to claim 7 , further comprising a plurality of voice interaction devices disposed in a target building, each of the voice interaction devices being controlled by the local control unit to broadcast the evacuation path information in real time at a set location.

9. The evacuation control system according to claim 8 , wherein the voice interaction device is further configured to receive voice information of a user and feed the same back to the local control unit; and feed response information back under the control of the local control unit.

10. The evacuation control system according to claim 8 , wherein the evacuation path information uploaded to the cloud is encrypted.

11. The evacuation control system according to claim 8 , wherein the cloud authenticates the mobile communication terminal with a telephone number.

12. The evacuation control system according to claim 11 , wherein the cloud has an abnormality detecting module configured to define the mobile communication terminal as an abnormality when the telephone number corresponding to the mobile communication terminal changes.

13. The evacuation control system according to claim 8 , wherein the evacuation path information exchanged between the cloud, the mobile communication terminal and the local control unit is encrypted via.

14. The evacuation control system according to claim 7 , wherein the local control unit comprises a wireless communication module and stores or acquires evacuation path information to or from the mobile communication terminal through the wireless communication module.

15. The evacuation control system according to claim 14 , wherein communication of the wireless communication module is encrypted.

16. The evacuation control system according to claim 14 , wherein the danger occurred in the building is fire.

17. The evacuation control system according to claim 14 , wherein the wireless communication module and the mobile communication terminal establish a connection after being verified via a token algorithm.

18. A mobile communication terminal for an evacuation control system, wherein the mobile communication terminal is configured for communicating with a cloud and a local control unit of the evacuation control system, respectively, such that the mobile communication terminal is configured for uploading or downloading evacuation path information to or from the cloud, and the local control unit is configured for storing or acquiring evacuation path information to or from the mobile communication terminal;

wherein the evacuation path information is configured at least based on a layout of a building and a location of a danger occurred in the building.
