Abstract
A method for maintaining a folding operable wall comprising: (a) recording a template of a biological trait of an authorized individual into a biometric verification system; (b) saving the template in a database; (c) capturing a new record; (d) comparing the new record against the template; (e) confirming the identity of the authorized individual if the new record is substantially similar to the saved template; (f) preventing the electrical operation circuit from functioning if the biometric verification system fails to authenticate the identity of the authorized individual; and (g) restarting the electrical operation circuit after the identity of the authorized individual is verified.
Claims21
1-20. (canceled)
A system comprising:
- a folding operable wall;
- an electrical operation circuit configured to control the folding operable wall, the electrical operation circuit comprising a biometric verification system, the biometric verification system being configured to:
- (a) record a template of a biological trait of an authorized individual,
- (b) save the template in a database associated with the biometric verification system,
- (c) capture a new record of a biological trait of a person desiring to maintain the folding operable wall,
- (d) compare the new record against the template,
- (e) authenticate the identity of the person desiring to maintain the folding operable wall if the new record is substantially similar to the saved template, and
- (f) prevent the folding operable wall from moving if the biometric verification system fails to continuously authenticate the identity of the person desiring to maintain the folding operable wall.
A system comprising:
- a folding operable wall;
- an electrical operation circuit configured to control the folding operable wall, the electrical operation circuit comprising at least one control station, an extend control switch, a stack control switch, control relays and a motor;
- and
- a biometric verification system coupled to the at least one control station,
- wherein the electrical operation circuit is configured to:
- (a) record a template of at least one designated biological trait of an individual trained and authorized to maintain the folding operable wall,
- (b) save the template in a database within the biometric verification system,
- (c) capture from an individual desiring to maintain the folding operable wall a new record of the designated biological trait,
- (d) compare the new record against the saved template using an algorithm,
- (e) authenticate the identity of the individual desiring to maintain the folding operable wall if the new record is substantially similar to the saved template, and
- (f) prevent the folding operable wall from moving if the biometric verification system fails to continuously authenticate the identity of the individual desiring to maintain the folding operable wall.
A system comprising:
- a folding operable wall;
- and
- an electrical operation circuit configured to control the folding operable wall, the electrical operation circuit comprising a first control unit having a first biometric verification system and a second control unit having a second biometric verification system,
- wherein the electrical operation circuit is configured to:
- (a) record a template of a biological trait of an authorized individual,
- (b) save the template in a database associated with the biometric verification systems,
- (c) capture a new record of a biological trait of a person desiring to maintain the folding operable wall,
- (d) compare the new record against the template,
- (f) authenticate the identity of the person desiring to maintain the folding operable wall if the new record is substantially similar to the saved template, and
- (g) prevent the folding operable wall from moving if the biometric verification systems fail to continuously authenticate the identity of the person desiring to maintain the folding operable wall.
