Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling access to a building associated with a security and/or automation system may include detecting a presence of at least one person positioned proximate an entry to the building, collecting one or more biometric identifiers from the at least one person, identifying one or more devices within a predetermined proximity of the entry to the building, and granting the person access to the building based at least in part on the collecting and the identifying.
Claims19
An apparatus for controlling access to a building associated with a security and/or automation system, comprising:
- a processor;
- memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- and
- instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to:
- detect a presence of a person positioned at an entry to the building using one or more biometric identifiers, wherein the one or more biometric identifiers uniquely identify the at least one person;
- collect the one or more biometric identifiers from the person;
- identify at least two devices carried by the person;
- search a user profile database based at least in part on the collected one or more biometric identifiers and the identified at least two devices;
- locate the user profile that matches the collected one or more biometric identifiers and the identified at least two devices;
- and
- grant the person access to the building based at least in part on the located user profile that matches both the one or more biometric identifiers and the at least two more devices.
A computer-implemented method for controlling access to a building associated with a security and/or automation system, comprising:
- detecting a presence of at least one person positioned proximate an entry to the building using one or more biometric identifiers, wherein the one or more biometric identifiers uniquely identify the at least one person;
- collecting the one or more biometric identifiers from the at least one person;
- identifying at least two devices within a predetermined proximity of the entry to the building;
- searching a user profile database based at least in part on the collecting and the identifying;
- locating the user profile that matches the one or more biometric identifiers and the at least two devices;
- and
- granting the at least one person access to the building based at least in part on the locating the user profile that matches both the one or more biometric identifiers and the at least two devices.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code for controlling access to a building associated with a security and/or automation system, the code executable by a processor to:
- detect a presence of at least one person positioned proximate an entry to the building using one or more biometric identifiers, wherein the one or more biometric identifiers uniquely identify the at least one person;
- collect the one or more biometric identifiers from the at least one person;
- identify at least two devices within a predetermined proximity of the entry to the building based at least in part on a radio frequency identification (RFID) signal from the at least two devices;
- search a user profile database based at least in part on the collected one or more biometric identifiers and the identified at least two devices;
- locate the user profile that matches the collected one or more biometric identifiers and the identified at least two devices;
- and
- grant the at least one person access to the building based at least in part on the located user profile that matches both the one or more biometric identifiers and the at least two devices.
