SECURITY SYSTEM WITH GESTURE-BASED ACCESS CONTROL
A method for gesture-based access control of a secured target using a mobile device, such as a wristband or smart phone, is disclosed. The method includes receiving worn signal data indicative of possession of the mobile device by a user from a sensor of the mobile device, receiving gesture signal data indicative of at least one gesture performed by the user, and based on the worn signal data indicating possession of the mobile device and the at least one gesture matching a gesture template, generating security access signal data configured to provide access to the secured target.
1 . A method for gesture-based access control of a secured target using a mobile device, comprising:
receiving, from a sensor of the mobile device, worn signal data indicative of possession of the mobile device by a user;
receiving, from the sensor of the mobile device, gesture signal data indicative of at least one gesture performed by the user; and
based on the worn signal data indicating possession of the mobile device and the at least one gesture matching a gesture template, generating security access signal data configured to provide access to the secured target.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device is a wearable device and wherein possession of the mobile device comprises the wearable device being worn by the user.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the sensor comprises an infrared sensor and an accelerometer.
4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
after generating the security access signal data, receiving, from the sensor of the mobile device, worn signal data indicative of a lack of possession of the mobile device.
5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
responsive to the worn signal data indicating a lack of possession of the mobile device, halting generation of the security access signal data.
6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
responsive to receiving the worn signal data indicative of possession, generating an indication for the user to perform the at least one gesture.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the indication is generated by the mobile device and includes an audible, visible, or tactile notification to the user.
8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
responsive to receiving the worn signal data indicative of possession and the at least one gesture matching the gesture template, generating an indication for display to the user that a security access feature associated with the secured target is enabled.
9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
performing, by the mobile device, pre-processing on the gesture signal data and feature extraction on the pre-processed gesture signal data; and
determining, by the mobile device, the at least one gesture based on the pre-processed and feature-extracted gesture signal data and offline training data.
10 . A wearable device for gesture-based access control of a secured target, comprising:
a body configured to be coupled to a portion of a user;
a sensor comprising an infrared sensor and an accelerometer;
a communication component configured to communicate signal data generated by the sensor to a computing device; and
a memory and a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to:
receive worn signal data from the infrared sensor indicative of the wearable device being worn by the user;
receive gesture signal data from the accelerometer indicative of at least one gesture performed by the user; and
based on the worn signal data indicating the wearable device is worn by the user and the at least one gesture matching a gesture template, generate security access signal data configured to provide access to the secured target.
11 . The wearable device of claim 10 , wherein the wearable device is one of a wristband, a ring, or a pendant.
12 . The wearable device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
after generating the security access signal data, receive, from the infrared sensor, worn signal data indicative of the wearable device no longer being worn by the user; and
responsive to the worn signal data indicating that the wearable device is no longer worn by the user, halt generation of the security access signal data.
13 . The wearable device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
responsive to receiving the worn signal data indicating the wearable device is worn by the user, generate an indication for the user to perform the at least one gesture, wherein the indication is generated by the wearable device and includes an audible, visible, or tactile notification to the user.
14 . The wearable device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
responsive to receiving the worn signal data indicating the wearable device is worn by the user and the at least one gesture matching the gesture template, generate an indication that a security access feature associated with the secured target is enabled, wherein the indication is generated by the wearable device and includes an audible, visible, or tactile notification to the user.
15 . A system for gesture-based access control of a secured target, comprising:
a wearable device comprising a sensor and a communication component;
a mobile device in communication with the communication component, the mobile device comprising a memory and a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to:
receive, from the sensor through the communication component, worn signal data indicative of the wearable device being worn by a user;
receive, from the sensor through the communication component, gesture signal data indicative of at least one gesture performed by the user; and
based on the worn signal data indicating the wearable device is worn by the user and the at least one gesture matching a gesture template, generate security access signal data configured to provide access to the secured target.
16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the wearable device is one of a wristband, a ring, or a pendant.
17 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the sensor comprises an infrared sensor and an accelerometer.
18 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
after generating the security access signal data, receive, from the sensor through the communication component, worn signal data indicative of the wearable device no longer being worn by the user; and
responsive to the worn signal data indicating that the wearable device is no longer worn by the user, halt generation of the security access signal data.
19 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
responsive to receiving the worn signal data indicating the wearable device is worn by the user, generate an indication for the user to perform the at least one gesture, wherein the indication is generated by the wearable device or the mobile device and includes an audible, visible, or tactile notification to the user.
20 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
responsive to receiving the worn signal data indicating the wearable device is worn by the user and the at least one gesture matching the gesture template, generate an indication that a security access feature associated with the secured target is enabled, wherein the indication is generated by the wearable device or the mobile device and includes an audible, visible, or tactile notification to the user.
