Keypad projection
A method for security and/or automation systems is described. In one embodiment, the method may include detecting a proximity of a user at a home automation device. The method may further include projecting an external display of home automation system information from the home automation device onto a surface. In some embodiments, the external display may be projected based, at least in part, on the detected proximity of the user at the home automation device.
1. A method for security and/or automation systems, comprising:
detecting, by a sensor module of an automation device, a user at a premises satisfying a proximity threshold of the automation device;
identifying, by recognition or detection technology associated with the sensor module based at least in part on the detecting, the user to determine whether the identified user is permitted to enter a room of the premises;
when determining the identified user is permitted to enter the room of the premises:
initiating a time delay based at least in part on detecting the user at the premises satisfying the proximity threshold; and
projecting, onto a surface of the room, a message associated with a home security system of the premises and specific to the identified user after an expiration of the time delay and before input from a user device to the automation device and user interaction at the automation device,
when determining the identified user is not permitted to enter the room of the premises:
bypassing projection of the message associated with the home security system of the premises and specific to the identified user from the automation device onto the surface of the room.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the user to determine whether the identified user is permitted to enter the premises is based at least in part on any one of facial recognition, voice recognition, a biosignature recognition, or a combination thereof.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving input at the automation device based at least in part on input from the user in relation to the projected message.
4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
deactivting the projecting of the message after the time delay, after detecting the user entering the premises, after the user no longer satisfies the proximity threshold, or any combination thereof, wherein the input received at the automation device is any one of a user passcode, audible input, a gesture, or a combination thereof.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein satisfying the proximity threshold at the automation device is detected by any one of a motion detector, an infrared or near-infrared sensor, a video camera, a facial recognition sensor, a voice recognition sensor, a biosignature sensor, or a combination thereof.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the automation device is any one of a smart panel, a door locking mechanism, or a combination thereof.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the automation device is mounted on any one of a wall, floor, ceiling, door, or a combination thereof.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the surface onto which the message is projected is any one of a wall, floor, ceiling, door, or a combination thereof.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
projecting an interactive keypad from the automation device onto the surface the room of the premises before input from the user device to the automation device or the user interaction at the automation device.
10. An apparatus for security and/or automation systems, comprising:
a processor;
memory in electronic communication with the processor; and
instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to:
detect, by a sensor module of an automation device, a user at a premises satisfying a proximity threshold of the automation device;
identify, by recognition or detection technology associated with the sensor module based at least in part on the detecting, the user to determine whether the identified user is permitted to enter a room of the premises;
when determining the identified user is permitted to enter the room of the premises:
initiate a time delay based at least in part on detecting the user at the premises satisfying the proximity threshold; and
project, onto a surface of the room, a message associated with a home security system of the premises and specific to the identified user after an expiration of the time delay and before input from a user device to the automation device and user interaction at the automation device,
when determining the identified user is not permitted to enter the room of the premises:
bypass projection of the message associated with the home security system of the premises and specific to the identified user from the automation device onto the surface of the room.
11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein identifying the user to determine whether the identified user is permitted to enter the premises is based at least in part on any one of facial recognition, voice recognition, a biosignature recognition, or a combination thereof.
12. The apparatus of claim 10 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:
receive input at the automation device based at least in part on input from the user in relation to the projected message.
13. The apparatus of claim 12 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:
deactivate the projecting of the message after the time delay, after detecting the user entering the premises, after the user no longer satisfies the proximity threshold, or any combination thereof, wherein the input received at the automation device is any one of a user passcode, audible input, a gesture, or a combination thereof.
14. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein satisfying the proximity threshold at the automation device is detected by any one of a motion detector, an infrared or near-infrared sensor, a video camera, a facial recognition sensor, a voice recognition sensor, a biosignature sensor, or a combination thereof.
15. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the automation device is any one of a smart panel, a door locking mechanism, or a combination thereof.
16. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the automation device is mounted on any one of a wall, floor, ceiling, door, or a combination thereof.
17. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the surface onto which the message is projected is any one of a wall, floor, ceiling, door, or a combination thereof.
18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code for security and/or automation systems, the code executable by a processor to:
detect, by a sensor module of an automation device, a user at a premises satisfying a proximity threshold of the automation device;
identify, by recognition or detection technology associated with the sensor module based at least in part on the detecting, the user to determine whether the identified user is permitted to enter a room of the premises;
when determining the identified user is permitted to enter the room of the premises:
initiate a time delay based at least in part on detecting the user at the premises satisfying the proximity threshold; and
project, onto a surface of the room, a message associated with a home security system of the premises and specific to the identified user after an expiration of the time delay and before input from a user device to the automation device and user interaction at the automation device,
when determining the identified user is not permitted to enter the room of the premises:
bypass projection of the message associated with the home security system of the premises and specific to the identified user from the automation device onto the surface of the room.
