Arrangements for dynamic enterprise center access control are provided. In some examples, a user device may be detected and current location and/or user data associated with the detected device may be requested. Upon receiving the location data, a current geographic location of the user device may be determined and an enterprise center at or near the geographic location may be identified. Received user data may be analyzed to identify a user and retrieve access preferences associated with the user. Based on the access preferences, a command to lock or unlock a door (e.g., permit or disable access) to an area within the enterprise center, the enterprise center in general, or the like, may be generated and transmitted to a computing device for execution. Accordingly, the system may activate desired locking configurations based on user preferences. Upon detecting that the user is no longer at the enterprise center, a command to return to default settings may be generated, transmitted and executed. 1.

Remote Consensus Control System

Номер: US20200066076A1
Автор: Abreu Nelson Correia, Bashiri Mohammadreza
Принадлежит:

A Remote Consensus Control System (RCCS) allows authorized users to operate a device at a distance with consensus logic. One or more users can remotely apply a locking command. The device will remain locked until the very last user consents to unlocking. Any application requiring unanimous consent could use a RCCS to drive a mechanical lock, status indication, or a digital control or indication signal. The signal can drive a human-machine interface (HMI) or send a permissive signal, message, or command to open or initiate, close or terminate, or otherwise modify the state of a system or process. The RCCS is comprised of a logic system residing in a networked computing system. The logic system receives instructions from users (via mobile, web or text message), and issues responses to the users and commands to a set of binary outputs for each RCCS field device. 1. A remote consensual control system (RCCS) allows multiple remote individuals to control a single controller at a distance, such that it only takes 1 user to assert a locking (or unlocking) signal, but requires that there are no outstanding users in order to reverse the control. In other words, it requires a consensus of all users who asserted the first control state to issue a de-asserting signal. It is different from switches, locks, or remote telecommunication operation devices that are toggled without consensus logic. In existing systems, any authorized user is able to toggle a lock. It is also different from lock-out tag-out systems that require physical locks to be applied in person. This invention relates to the lockout-tagout (LOTO) systems utilized for industrial electrical safety as well as remotely controlled switches, such as door locks and padlocks that may be operated via mobile apps.Lockout tagout (LOTO) systems that may use tags, locks, lockboxes, and/or hasps are widely used in the electrical industry.

The techniques include: receiving, by an access control system, point cloud data associated with a field of view of a sensor; based on the point cloud data, determining that an object is entering a physical zone of interest in the field of view; and determining, by the access control system, an access control result indicating that the object is authorized to access the physical zone of interest or is not authorized to access the physical zone of interest. 1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that , when executed by one or more processors , cause the one or more processors to execute instructions comprising:receiving, by an access control system, point cloud data associated with a field of view of a sensor;based on the point cloud data, determining that an object is entering a physical zone of interest in the field of view; anddetermining, by the access control system, an access control result indicating that the object is authorized to access the physical zone of interest or is not authorized to access the physical zone of interest.2. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 1 , wherein determining that the object is entering the physical zone of interest comprises:spatially segmenting an input search space into a plurality of two-dimensional voxels in a plane;determining one or more potential clusters in the plurality of two-dimensional voxels; andidentifying a cluster corresponding to the object in the one or more potential clusters, based at least on a determination that the cluster satisfies a pixel count threshold.3. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 1 , the operations further comprising:determining, by the access control system, a type of the object entering the physical zone of interest, wherein determining the access control result is based at least on the type of the object.4. The one or more non-transitory ...

A method of controlling access to a real estate property includes installing a dynamic electronically-controlled lockset on an exterior door of a real estate property, maintaining, at a remote location, a reference device adapted to present a value of a second dynamic access code to one or more users located in the real estate office, receiving, at the real estate agent location, a request from a user for a current value of the second dynamic access code, examining the reference device to determine the current value of the second dynamic access code, and providing the current value of the second dynamic access code to the user for input into the electronically-controlled lockset. The lockset is adapted to unlock upon receiving a value corresponding to a first dynamic access code programmed therein. The second dynamic access code is time-synchronized with the first dynamic access code programmed in the electronically-controlled lockset. 1. A method of controlling access to a building , comprising:installing an electronically-controlled lockset on an exterior door of a building, wherein a locking mechanism of the electronically-controlled lockset is disposed in an operable relationship with a door frame in which the exterior door is installed and the state of the locking mechanism controls whether the exterior door may be opened, wherein the electronically-controlled lockset is configured to release the locking mechanism upon an access code being entered into the electronically-controlled lockset, wherein the access code is valid for releasing the locking mechanism for a predetermined window of time;maintaining a reference device at a separate location that is located remotely from the building, the reference device being configured to generate a current value of the access code, wherein the current value of the access code is time-synchronized with the electronically-controlled lockset; andproviding the current value of the access code to a user in response to a ...
