US 10,373,412 B2 · System and method for controlling access to an access point

Abstract

A security system comprises a positioning unit that determines locations of user devices relative to a threshold of the access point, a surveillance camera that monitors the threshold, and an access control system that controls the access point based on the locations of the user devices and orientations of individuals carrying the user devices relative to the access point. The surveillance camera is used to prevent tailgating. The cameras image data is also analyzed to determine the orientation of the individuals relative to the access point, such as a door. If the individuals are oriented such that they may be merely walking past the door, then access is not granted.

Dependent claims

A security system, comprising:

a positioning unit that determines locations of user devices relative to a threshold of an access point;
a surveillance camera that generates image data of the threshold determining orientations of the individuals;
and
an access control system that controls the access point based on the locations of the user devices from the positioning unit and the orientations of individuals carrying the user devices relative to the access point;
an analytics system that receives the image data from the surveillance camera, determines the orientations of the individuals relative to the access point by analyzing the image data to determine whether the shoulders of the individuals are parallel to a plane of the access point, and provides the orientations of the individuals to the access control system.
