System and method for correlating radar-based motion tracking with bluetooth channel sounding for credential validation at access points

A method for associating a digital credential with a person at an entryway, the method comprising the steps of:

• detecting at least one physical person via a radar, LiDAR, or camera sensor;
• tracking motion vectors to determine intent toward the entryway of said at least one physical person;
• establishing a BLE channel sounding session with at least one mobile handset or other authenticating digital credential;
• obtaining relative distance measurements from said BLE channel sounding session;
• correlating changes in the relative distance between the tracked motion of said at least one physical person;
• computing an offset between radar and LiDAR absolute distance and channel sounding relative distance, wherein said offset is indicative of a device mounting position or enclosure attenuation;
• determining if a physical person corresponds to said mobile handset or other authenticating digital credential;
• and
• granting or denying access to said physical person based on the determination.

A method for associating a digital credential with a person at an entryway, the method comprising the steps of:

• detecting at least one physical person via a radar, LiDAR, or camera sensor;
• tracking motion vectors to determine intent toward the entryway of said at least one physical person, wherein physical gestures or motions are detected to determine intent toward the entryway of said at least one physical person;
• establishing a BLE channel sounding session with at least one mobile handset or other authenticating digital credential;
• obtaining relative distance measurements from said BLE channel sounding session;
• correlating changes in the relative distance between the tracked motion of said at least one physical person;
• computing an offset between radar and LiDAR absolute distance and channel sounding relative distance, wherein said offset is indicative of a device mounting position or enclosure attenuation, and wherein said offset is stored across a mesh of access sensors, and wherein said offset is reused to improve credential association accuracy in future interactions;
• determining if a physical person corresponds to said mobile handset or other authenticating digital credential;
• and
• granting or denying access to said physical person based on the determination.
