Abstract
A device associated with a door for implementing a smart door system is proposed in this disclosure. The device comprises a sensor circuit comprising one or more sensors configured to collect information associated with an object in a predefined area surrounding the door. The device further comprises a processing circuit configured to process the information from the one or more sensors and generate a control signal, based on the information from the one or more sensors. In some embodiments, the control signal is communicated to a user device. In some embodiments, the control signal indicates the user device about the presence of the object in the predefined area surrounding the door.
Claims25
A device associated with a door comprising:
- a sensor circuit comprising a gesture sensor configured to collect information comprising an identity of a person in a predefined area surrounding the door, in order to identify a specific person and at least one specific gesture associated with the specific person;
- a processing circuit configured to:
- process information from the gesture sensor;
- generate a gesture control signal based on the information from the gesture sensor;
- and
- provide the gesture control signal to a first user device, based on the information associated with the control signal, wherein the control signal indicates the presence of an object in the predefined area surrounding the door;
- and
- a control circuit coupled to the processing circuit, in order to open the door.
A device associated with a door comprising:
- a sensor circuit comprising one or more sensors configured to collect information associated with an object in a predefined area surrounding the door;
- a processing circuit configured to:
- process the information from the one or more sensors;
- and
- generate a control signal for communicating to a user device, based on the information from the one or more sensors, wherein the control signal indicates the user device about the presence of the object in front of the door;
- and
- a control circuit coupled to the processing circuit, in order to open the door.
A method for a device associated with a door comprising:
