Abstract
A detection system is provided. The detection system includes gesture sensors installed on front panels of a set of hall doors. The gesture sensors detect motion. The detection system includes a gesture detection unit that controls operations of the gesture sensors. The gesture detection unit analyzes the motion detected by the gesture sensors and detects a pre-determined hand gesture format. The gesture detection unit activates a door open operation for the set of hall doors in response to detecting the pre-determined hand gesture format.
Claims11
A detection system comprising:
- one or more gesture sensors installed on front panels of a set of hall doors, the one or more gesture sensors being configurable to detect motion;
- and
- a gesture detection unit that controls operations of the one or more gesture sensors, the gesture detection unit being configurable to analyze the motion detected by the one or more gesture sensors and detect a pre-determined hand gesture format, the gesture detection unit being configurable to activate a door open operation for the set of hall doors in response to detecting the pre-determined hand gesture format;
- wherein the detection system comprises an illumination strip installed on a floor in front of the set of hall doors, the illumination strip being configurable to provide visual notifications of a door operation, the gesture detection unit controlling operations of the illumination strip, the gesture detection unit acquiring illumination strip data.
